Chapter IV
With his hands behind his back, Jiang Zuming looked at Ruofeng's departing back and whispered, "It's a talent." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Your Majesty is trying to win this person over?" A voice suddenly remembered that there was no one else in the room except Jiang Zuming.
"Not yet." Jiang Zuming pondered for a moment, "Observe for a while." ā
"Yes." The owner of the voice answered and fell silent.
It was as if Jiang Zuming was the only one in the room.
Gu Xi gasped heavily, his forehead covered with cold sweat. It was really thrilling just now, and I was almost discovered. He looked out through the crack in the door and could only see a dark patch.
Fortunately, the Praetorian Guards have not yet searched this place. He quickly took off his night clothes and changed into the eunuch clothes he had prepared. He changed from the thief's apprentice Gu Xi to Xiao Guzi. The flattering little eunuch.
After looking around for a while, and seeing that there was no one around, Gu Xi flashed out of the small room where he was hiding, pretending that nothing had happened, and walked towards the place where he slew.
"What people?! Hold it! "A patrol of Praetorian Guards spotted Gu Xi.
Gu Xi pretended to be frightened, "Jun...... Master Jun......"
"You! Don't sleep, what to do here! Seeing that it was a little eunuch, the captain frowned and asked in disgust.
"Back to ...... Back to the military master, the little one got up at night to relieve his hands, and he was ...... Just about to go back. The expression on Gu Xi's face was very in place, flattering and afraid.
The captain waved his hand in disgust, like a fly, "Get out!" In his opinion, how could such a timid eunuch be the assassin they were going to capture tonight?
Gu Xi was overjoyed in his heart, pretending to be scared, and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.
There was no danger of returning to the sleeping place, Gu Xi did not wake anyone up and returned to his bed, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Originally, with the supreme light skill he learned from the thief, he would never have been discovered by the Praetorian Guard. He had confirmed this in his night visit to the palace a few nights before. The vigilance of the palace guards was surprisingly low for him.
But tonight, two assassins came out of nowhere, and instead of assassinating the emperor, they ran to the vicinity of the palace treasury and happened to collide with him. Gu Xi almost thought that the two assassins were coming for him.
How could three men in black in night clothes not attract the attention of the Praetorian Guards? What's more, I don't know why, tonight the Praetorian Guard also stepped up patrols.
There was no time to communicate, and the three of them fled in three directions. With his superb light skills, Gu Xi easily escaped the encirclement of the Praetorian Guards, found the small room where he had hidden his clothes and hid.
If it weren't for the thief master, he would have stolen the secret treasure hidden in the palace before he died. He Gu Xi would not disguise himself as a eunuch and sneak into the palace three months ago.
It is very sad to say that in order to enter the palace, he went to the clean room. And then accidentally almost made people really cut off their children and grandchildren. Now that he thinks about it, he's still scared.
Sometimes he is also very confused, for the sake of a master's last wish, to steal the secret treasure of the royal family, whether it is moral. But the master raised him, if he can't even fulfill the master's last wish, wouldn't it be unfilial?
Sometimes he really doesn't want to be Gu Xi, so he wants to be a little Gu Zi, gambling with other little eunuchs, and drinking wine. Although the eunuchs in the palace are lowly, they are really temperamental. Just be nice to them and they will be ten points nice to you.
It's a pity that he is destined to only be Gu Xi.
