Early in the morning, Mrs. Fang and two other gorgeously dressed old women came to the house together.

The old man of the housekeeper beckoned them to have tea and snacks, and then ran to inform He Angelica, a relative of the master's family, that the old lady had arrived. He Angelica's phoenix eyes narrowed, and an astonishing brilliance dazzled his eyes.

The old man introduced He Angelica and retreated, and the three old ladies had a kind attitude and showed that they liked well-behaved girls. They beckoned: "A girl with a lot of neat appearances, walk in, we don't have good eyes, come closer and show us." ”

They grabbed He Angelica's hand and looked at it carefully, and praised each other. He Angelica casually reported a fake name, and Mrs. Fang also accepted it, with an ordinary attitude, and she didn't seem to recognize the true origin of He Angelica.

They thought they had succeeded in disguise. However, He Angelica read a trace of hatred in the eyes of Mrs. Fang.

The other party recognized her.

At the same time, she also found that the other two old ladies had thin calluses on their fingers that had been holding weapons for many years. It is hard to imagine that a rich old lady at this age will still maintain a hobby of dancing knives and guns, that is to say...... Disguise, cross-dressing! They may not be real old women at all, but young and strong martial arts practitioners!

He Angelica watched coldly, found some traces of fraud on their faces, and confirmed his guess.

At this time, the old man of the housekeeper came over and asked, "Old lady, the golden beans have been fried and crispy, do you want to use them now, or do you use them by the way for lunch?" ”

Mrs. Fang stood up a little excitedly, "Let's go!" Go out to eat, set a table under the locust tree, and pick the big tree with the loudest cicadas! The other two old ladies laughed and said, "No one robbed you, so it's like this." ”

He Angelica hung his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'll miss me for a while." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for the third old woman to nod in agreement and turned around and walked away, it was really not a guest's style. The three old women exchanged glances, and one of them asked in a low voice, "Did she find something?" ”

Another person said arrogantly: "No, we came with Aunt Fang on a temporary basis, and Shangfeng didn't arrange any tasks." We were dressed up so perfectly, what was there for her to wonder. ”

"Then why did she leave in such a hurry?"

"Well, I see that girl's expression and demeanor are very different from the rumors, not very powerful. Shangfeng said in his mouth, 'A girl who is less than sixteen years old, her eyes can talk when she wants to speak, and she closes the door when she wants to. If it is more than clever, a group of thirty-year-old weavers are no more dexterous than her; If it is heavier, the thousand-pound bell on the head of the imperial city is not as calm as her. —why didn't I see that? It's just a paper flower silk man. ”

"Shangfeng's words will not be wrong, Shangfeng said that He Angelica will find the door by herself, and she really came."

"Whatever, as long as she doesn't have the password to pass the customs, she won't want to dig Nie Chun out of the prison for the rest of her life, haha!"

In the end, Mrs. Fang concluded: "That girl is afraid of insects, so she finds an excuse to leave, hmph, just a draft with her useless mother." Let's go, let's eat ours. ”

The three old women left together.

Behind the cotton curtain, He Angelica, who went and returned, had a calm face like water, thinking about something.

She took the opportunity to kidnap Mrs. Fang's personal maid, and wanted to ask them what the identity of the "Shangfeng" was. The maid refused to say anything at first, He Angelica took out his blade, made a shallow cut on the maid's cheek and the back of his hand, and then applied the wound on the maid's arm with scar removal ointment, and sure enough, there was no scar. on the face, but no medicine is applied.

In the end, in exchange for the ointment, the maid revealed: "I'm just a subordinate, and I haven't been with the old lady for a few days, and a few old grandmothers are in charge of important things." I only heard that two months ago, a group of mysterious guests came to the He family, who were introduced to the old lady and the old man by the nephew of the old lady's mother's family in the north. Since then, we have often had distinguished guests come to sit in Hefu, especially after dark. ”

"Guest?"

"Exactly, those distinguished guests came to Hefu, they sit, and the old lady had to stand aside."

"That'...... Nie Chun was imprisoned in prison, and what happened to that 'pass pass'? He Angelica asked tentatively.

She probably knew that although the Heavenly Prison was the most strict cell in the imperial city, it was not under the control of the emperor. The reason is that the prisoners inside include Jiangyang thieves, bandits, rebellious generals and other fierce and terrible characters, and Cao Hongrui, the general manager of Dongchang, was in charge of it before.

After Cao Hongrui's usurpation failed, Dongchang also fell, and the emperor asked the leader of the Imperial Forest Army to take over the prison, and sent many masters of the inner world, all of whom died and were wounded. The prisoners were chained to the wall, starved of food and drink, and were still overwhelmingly attackable, and even had a strange man who could breathe fire with his mouth, leaving the Guards helpless.

Originally, Jinyiwei was the most suitable successor, but the emperor didn't want to give weight to Jinyifu, so he simply sealed the prison with a decree and let them digest it internally.

If Nie Chun really fell into the prison, even if she went to the emperor, it would be useless to ask for the holy decree to release people.

Speaking of the prison, the maid glanced at He Angelica with disdain, and snorted: "You have also thought about asking the prison?" Haven't you heard the rumors in the market, even the emperor Lao Tzu has no problem there! Alright, you've asked enough, give me the ointment! ”

He Angelica pinched the medicine bottle in the palm of his hand, and the maid snatched it with her hand, but she couldn't break her fingers.

Between the two of them, they were seen by the old man of the housekeeper and busily came up to ask about the situation. At the same time, the shouts of the old lady Fang sounded in the distance, calling the maid's name loudly. The maid bit her lip and said nothing, bowing her head hatefully and walking away.

He Angelica flashed into the kitchen, wanting to put sweat medicine in the dishes of the three old women, and asked carefully after putting down the people. Who knew that the maid was a seasoned pickpocket just now, and when she was pulling, she had already taken away the objects in her two purses, which was regarded as a mistake for the old lady Fang and them to relieve the siege.

Just when He Angelica was about to think of another way, he turned around the corridor and saw the old lady Fang commanding the maid and pushing the old man of the housekeeper against the rockery, splashing blood for five steps. The reason is that the old man may have overheard the "pass password" in the conversation between the old lady and the servant, and would rather kill by mistake than let it go!

A warm-hearted little old man who died so unjustly.

The new housekeeper quickly took office, and then happily called He Angelica, saying that the three old ladies liked her very much and wanted her to perform a tea art of "snow top with emerald" to relieve their tiredness after dinner.

He Angelica didn't want to guess what evil intentions they harbored, but quietly collected some oleander powder, buckled it in his fingernails, and sprinkled it with poisonous powder while smiling and boiling tea soup. And Mrs. Fang holds that she is He Angelica's own grandmother, and the maid made it clear that the old lady is the old birthday star of the He family.

No matter how ruthless Angelica is, he doesn't dare to do anything to his grandmother, right? Who knows, they still underestimated He Angelica's city.

After being poisoned, Mrs. Fang was so angry that her liver trembled, and she found the most vicious words in the world to curse her granddaughter, but she couldn't get it. She dipped her blood and wrote the four blood words "Heaven does not allow it", which is the scene that Dai Pin, disguised as a subordinate, saw outside the window.

Subsequently, Qi Xuanyu, who was in a fluttering monk's robe, came and fed the antidote pill to the three people who were in a poisonous coma.

He Angelica watched from the side and said coolly: "I thought you wouldn't come to sabotage my business, I thought you and I were friends." ”

Qi Xuanyu's cold face was expressionless, and he didn't look at He Angelica, and replied: "I can only blame you for going too far." This old lady is just an informant, and she just dies; The two next to him are the officials in the 'Emperor Phoenix', and it takes eight years to cultivate one, so it can't be decided. ”

He Angelica served the exquisite pastries on the table, took silver needles to test the poison, and even tried a few mixed with a large amount of paralysis.

She smiled and asked, "What should I do not be excessive?" Swallow the rice cake with my eyes closed, obediently become a chess piece in the hands of those people, and let them pinch my life to blackmail Meng Xuan to give up his military power - only in this way is it in line with your wishes, isn't it? Qi Xuanyu, I really misjudged you. ”

"Maybe you've never seen it right." Qi Xuanyu got up slowly, showed his weapon, and added, "Also, the little monk is now called 'Jichen', don't call it a mistake again." ”

He Angelica took two steps back and asked suspiciously, "You want to fight me?" Are you going to tie me up or kill me? Are you confident in your skills? ”

"If you are willing to be arrested, the little monk will save a lot of trouble." Qi Xuanyu said.

"What if I don't?"

"Then, the little monk had to test himself, and his skills after entering the Buddha Gate have decreased a little." His words were really modest, but the copper cymbal in his hand suddenly lit up, enveloping a tiny yellowish halo, and it really didn't look like a humble concession.

He Angelica smiled lightly: "In the past, when you were a Taoist, you fought with dust, but now you are a monk, and your weapons are also renovated." It was originally a ritual vessel for monks' retreats, but it was ruined in your hands. ”

Qi Xuanyu said lightly: "It's useless to delay time, do you still expect someone to save you." ”

He Danggui knew that Qi Xuanyu was too smart to make a trick under his nose, so he simply asked directly: "What kind of organization is the 'Emperor Phoenix' you are talking about, and who is the person you are loyal to?" How about I give you three times as much as all the benefits they give you, and buy only the news from your mouth? ”

Qi Xuanyu dusted off the fine linen monk's robe and mocked He Angelica's naïve thoughts, "The appearance of the little monk, does it seem like he has taken a lot of benefits?" ”

"It's not money, it's power?"

"......" Qi Xuanyu was noncommittal and took half a step closer.

He Angelica took a step back and asked strangely, "Is it really the temptation of power?" But the old emperor relied on you so much, you didn't even think of it as a great teacher, and left the capital alone. Could it be that the 'Emperor Phoenix' promised you more than the old emperor gave at the beginning? I advise you to think twice and not be blinded by momentary gains and losses. ”

"Finished?" Qi Xuanyu took another diagonal step.

This seemingly ordinary step blocked He Angelica in a dead corner, there was no way out, there was only a small air window behind him, and it was impossible to escape. She didn't think she could beat Qi Xuanyu, this person could draw with Feng Yang, and she couldn't beat Feng Yang with one hand.

"Okay, if I don't resist, I'll be caught." She said very sensitively.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Qi Xuanyu suddenly opened his eyes and shouted:

"Stop! Don't touch her! ”

A thick arm with dense hair poked in through the air window and easily clamped He Angelica's neck.

He Angelica was completely stunned, who was behind her?

The strength is terrifying!
