When He Angelica woke up again, she was met by a pair of brownish-gray eyes, cold as glass beads, full of ridicule, which reminded her of an animal, a wolf. Looking at his own situation, his hands were tied to an iron armchair, and his feet could move, but his whole body was soft and weak, and he couldn't use his strength.

"The third lady just agreed to cooperate with me, how can she go back on her word?" The owner of the glass bead eyes spoke in a white way.

He Angelica yawned and closed his eyes. Guan Bai said again: "Don't expect someone to save you, the Immortal Grass County Lord has already left, and Feng Yang and Duan Mu have also left." Except for me, there is no one in the Guan Mansion who knows about this secret room, even if it is ten or twenty years later, the result will be the same. ”

When He Angelica heard this, he smiled and said, "In another ten years, your son will be eighteen years old, and Uncle Guan will hide me here without fear of wasting rice?" "The voice is hoarse and does not hinder the intonation of jumping.

Guan Bai took a pestle and sat on the opposite side, his face was much gloomier than that of He Angelica, a prisoner. In this uninhabited secret room, in the eyes that are not covered by lenses, the wolf nature is fully revealed. He took out a paper cutter, bent it slowly, and said, "I'm different from my mother, my mother is prejudiced against you as Miss Three, but I'm not." Rightly speaking, what you owe us is what you owe us. I proposed to turn the conflict into a jade silk, why didn't the third lady accept it? ”

He Angelica laughed softly: "Uncle Guan said this, the little woman is really wronged." I just returned to Yangzhou two days ago, you gave me a 'big gift', I was grateful and specially came to the door to thank me, Lingtang sometimes stuffed the blood-stained knife into my hand, sometimes prepared poison, and fed it to her through my hands, causing me to almost get into trouble. Uncle Guan thinks about justice again, and tied me up as a weak woman, has it all become my fault? ”

"Li Roller detained his father." Guan Bai changed the subject.

"Oh. Should I say I'm sorry, or should I clap my hands and cheer? He Angelica said without fear of death.

"Actually, my father doesn't know anything about the prince."

He Angelica pretended to be confused and asked rhetorically: "The matter of the prince?" What's that? ”

Guan Bai said: "That incident was an accident, the prince broke into the Guan Mansion's weapons workshop, pinched the handle, and wanted to coerce the Guan clan to commit it." The mother had no choice but to come up with a plan to let the prince try Song Zhihua's tea art and drink the cold green. Even I only heard Song Zhihua say that it was a few years before I leaked my mouth, and the rest of the Guan family didn't know about it. Now, the mother is dead, and only one Song Zhihua is left who murdered the prince. ”

After listening to this, He Angelica raised his eyebrows and said: "Since there is such an inside story, why didn't Uncle Guan tie up his wife, find the factory guard to confess, and tell me what's the use?" I can't pardon you either, and I can't command the murderers of the East Factory. ”

"The third lady is too presumptuous." The paper cutter was bent in an arc in Guan Bai's hand, and he sat forward, and the breath he exhaled blew up He Angelica's broken hair. "I know that you have this ability, and I also know that you want the antidote to Gu poison, and you want to see the tribute unearthed by the Guan family."

He Angelica tilted his head and hummed: "You are kind enough to fulfill me, and I have no objection." ”

"Then in return, please ask the county lord to return to Beijing."

"Back to Beijing." He Angelica is strange, what kind of ghost idea Guan Bai has born.

Guan Bai nodded and added: "Yes, go back to Beijing and enter the palace." The emperor recruited famous doctors and Taoists from all over the world to help him prolong his life. It is not difficult for you to enter the palace, and with your medical skills, it is not difficult to make an old man sleep forever without a sound. In this way, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the troubles of the Guan family will be gone. ”

He Angelica smiled when he heard this: "But when I was in Beijing, I heard that nine times out of ten the candidates for the prince are Zhu Yunwen, he is the son of the late prince Zhu Biao, and the first thing he will do after he ascends the throne may be to avenge the prince." ”

The corners of Guan Bai's mouth hooked, and he said indifferently: "The emperor's eldest grandson is different from the current emperor, he is generous-hearted, as long as the real murderer is handed over, the entire Guan Mansion will not be implicated." If the third lady agrees with my proposal, then everyone will be happy, if there are still doubts......"

"Smack!"

The paper cutter bounced open, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, cutting the ties of He Angelica's shirt and gown. Although it didn't hurt her skin, her shoulders were cold and she was exposed to the air. The paper cutter was held into a ring in Guan Bai's hand again, filled with strength, and raised it half an inch away from the tip of He Angelica's nose.

"Stop! What do you mean? He Angelica frowned and shouted, "I didn't say I disagreed!" ”

The knife retreated for half a minute, but it hadn't withdrawn yet. Guan Bai pursed his lips, looked at He Angelica quietly, and after a stalemate of about half a pillar of incense, Guan Bai said: "The third lady is more cunning than all the women Guan has ever seen, if I agree now, and regret it later, then wouldn't I lose both people and money?" ”

He Angelica laughed and said: "You took a knife to force me to obey, and when I obeyed, and you said that you couldn't believe me, what should Uncle Guan do?" ”

"You went to the prefect's yamen to turn yourself in, saying that the knife that stabbed my mother came from you, because she provoked you before." Guan Bai said slowly, "You are the county lord, a crime of hurting people will not put you in prison, even if it is tried, you have to go through Dali Temple." And I will dredge up some dots from it and send you back to Beijing. After the agreed matter is completed, I will personally go to Lord Han to solve the case for you. In this way, I have a guarantee, you have an antidote, and I have prepared a generous gift for you to bring into Beijing. ”

He Angelica sneered in his heart, a good wishful thinking, and asked: "What kind of gift?" ”

Guan Bai pointed to the brocade box on the table next to him and said, "That is the precious thing unearthed under the Guanfu half a month ago, with it, the emperor will be happy to summon you." ”

"What baby, can you show me insight?" She asked as she shrank back in her chair, because Guan Bai was close to a point every time she spoke, and the most difficult thing to ignore was that her eyes were ambiguous and hot, falling on her slender shoulders.

With a malicious light flashing in his eyes, Guan Bai suddenly threw away the knife and walked towards the stone gate. "You'll have a chance to meet - that's what I'm asking for, you can think about it slowly, I'll wait for you." The stone door turned, and then slowly closed.

"You're gone?" He Angelica asked incredulously, "You should be more anxious about cooperation than me, hasn't Master Guan been detained by Dongchang?" "Why did the one who waited patiently became him?

When there was only a thin crack left between the stone door and the wall, Guan Bai's answer came in-

"As the third lady said, the new emperor Zhu Yunwen will also chase the murderer for the prince, so if Master Guan does not die, Zhu Yunwen will always have a heart disease, right. Therefore, Guan is not in a hurry at all. ”

He Angelica stopped wrying the rope, and for the first time he was convinced by the words "It's not a family that doesn't enter the door". Guan Bai is the most ferocious wolf of the Guan family, no one noticed this in the past, is it because others are dull, or is he hiding too deeply? His eyes fell on the brocade box of Sheng Gongpin, guessing the contents inside.

She didn't come to the tiger's den unprepared, but she was careless because she was immune to poison, and was stunned by the smoke coming out of the small holes in the wall. I don't know what kind of drug is so powerful, and her limbs are still limp now.

A small vial slipped out of the cuff and poured the juice from it on the rope, quickly untied. She propped up the back of her chair and walked towards the brocade box step by step......

"Beauty, where are you going?"

A man's voice suddenly sounded in the uninhabited secret room, sounding obscene and obscene.

He Angelica turned his head suddenly, but there was no one there. The second man's voice let out a rough laugh: "Guan Ye said before leaving, if the little lady is not honest, it will be handed over to our brother to deal with." She untied the rope, is it considered 'dishonest'? ”

The first person continued: "Of course, forget it, big brother, how do you think it is appropriate to deal with her?" ”

This time, He Angelica finally found out where the person who spoke was. It turned out that this was the second basement floor of the study, and the basement was also a secret room, with a special guard, just above her head. There was a small window in the ceiling of the room, and two men's faces were huddled there, and four pairs of greedy eyes stared straight at her.

A copper bell winked at her and asked, "Beauty, it must be lonely to be alone, right?" Uncle go down to accompany you, okay? ”

She didn't speak, so the other laughed wildly: "Big brother, you are ugly, people are not happy, let's let the younger brother go first!" ”

"Labor-capital! How handsome do you want to be? ”

"Then let her pick, see if she picks you or me......"

He Danggui looked up at the small window for a while, and made sure that it was just an inch-square window, and no one could enter, and Guan Bai didn't leave the same way just now. In other words, there is no passage between the first floor and the second floor, and those two shameless men can't get down at all, it's just a mouthful. I think so, Guan Bai just talked about cooperation, and he doesn't want to cause more trouble.

Coming to this conclusion, He Angelica didn't even have the interest to look up, let alone deal with them. He put on his coat and re-tied his straps, and reached forward with his fingers to uncover the secrets beneath the brocade box.

"Hey, little girl!"

Seeing that He Angelica was not only not afraid of crying, but also chose to ignore them, the man guarding was so angry that he grabbed something and threw it down from the small window. Although the head was accurate, the strength was almost there, and a black inkstone shattered at He Angelica's feet. The shoes on her feet are still the ones made by the Guan family with night pearls. The ashes were stained on the pearl of the night, and then bounced back the same way, as if blocked by a gas. He Angelica frowned and squatted down to study the shoes on his feet.

"Beauty, you really want to go out, right?" While continuing to throw brushes, pen washes, and pen holders, Dahan shouted, "Uncle sees that you are pitiful, so I will tell you!" You go to the third compartment on the first floor of the bookshelf and look for the frame, and with a single click, you can get out! ”

He Angelica is even more sure that this secret room can only open the door from the inside now, and the method of entering from the outside to the inside is probably only known by Guan Bai. The big man couldn't get in, so he led her out, but fortunately she wasn't a fool. When the medicinal power on her body dissipated, she knew that she could go out at any time.

Speaking of which, the drug should not work for her, except for her homemade tea dew, she has never tried such a powerful drug. By the way, Song Zhihua is a master of tea art, and may have dabbled in tea dew, could it be that the smoke that fascinated her was tea dew?

"Squeak squeak!"

There was a moving little thing on the ground that moved, jumped onto He Angelica's skirt, and coldly startled her. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a little ink monkey living in the pen holder, who was thrown out and frightened, running around.

The ink monkey is the favorite of the readers, the pen holder is its home, when the owner writes, it comes out to grind the ink, and after the master writes the words, it licks the inkstone clean, dexterous and easy to use. It's just that it's too timid, and a loud drink can scare its guts, so this little beast has become very rare, and it is a pet only in the study of dignitaries.

The little thing was smaller than her fist, covered in fine brown and yellow hair, and her eyes were shining, and her small black eyes were marked with horror. He Angelica looked cute, so he held it in the palm of his hand and patted it twice, but he didn't expect it to be ordinary timid. was stroked by the jade hand, and the little ink monkey kicked his legs and was scared to death.

He Angelica was taken aback again and threw the little thing in his hand out. The body landed on the brocade box, the lid was smashed over, and the contents were exposed. It was half a box of black liquid with a fishy smell.

"Little girl, come out quickly, let the master hug you!"

"Little sister, how old are you this year, have you ever been married? When I am my concubine, I will make you happy! ”

"If you marry one of our brothers, you can have two husbands in one go, do you say it's beautiful? Open the door! "The two of them were talking nonsense while throwing things non-stop. It's like a stupid cat at the door of the mouse hole, wanting to eat but can't get in.

He Angelica suddenly became interested in them again, and said softly: "The two uncles are self-respecting, the little woman is married, and my husband's temper is not very good. ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, the two people above were more excited than they were beaten with chicken blood, and their words were even more rude. He Angelica's ears automatically blocked the indecent listening place, and asked the two: "Uncle is Guan Ye's confidant, he must know what this box contains, right?" ”

A soft and glutinous "uncle" made the two big men itch in their hearts, and said with an evil smile: "The little lady will touch her face to the master, and the master will tell you." ”

“…… Okay. ”

He Angelica walked to the small window, and at this time he stopped throwing things down. She moved a small stool and stepped on it, a pair of lotus feet stood together, stood on tiptoe, raised her head and said, "I don't seem to be tall enough, uncle try to see if I can reach it." ”

"I'll go first!" "Fuck off, it's mine!"

There was a fierce argument between the two above, He Angelica looked up and waited for the old man for a while, and heard a "bang", as if one of them knocked the other unconscious. Then a black arm came in through the small window, "Beauty? Where are you? ”

His arms filled the window, and he couldn't see with his eyes. She giggled and said, "You're here to catch me, and if you do, I'll give you half of the contents of the brocade box!" ”

The hand suddenly trembled, and the man's voice was nervous: "That thing can't be touched, it will ...... when you touch it."

"That's it?"

"I, I can't say."

He Angelica picked up the rope on the ground, circled the thick arm a few times, tied the dead knot, pulled the other end of the rope hard, and shouted, "Do you want to say it? Not to mention breaking your hands! ”

"Oops! Let go! ”

"If you don't say it, I'll tell Guan Bai that you are molesting Mrs. Song!" She carried the rope and set up a swing underneath.

"Oh, mom, you owe it! Labor and management must ...... you"

Before the words fell, a terrible change happened. The two blue night pearls on He Angelica's shoes suddenly bounced up, and with a speed that his eyes couldn't catch, they bounced on the arm that was tied by the rope. The blue light danced on it alternately, and the big man above cried wolf in pain, and He Angelica was furious when he heard it.

What's going on? Night Pearl Attack?

"Oh, stop, the villain told his aunt that the contents of the box were...... Ouch! ”

"What is it?" He Angelica was in a hurry.

"Yes, it's the Gu King, the king of the Gu worms! This is from eavesdropping on the conversation between Guan Ye and his wife, and other villains don't know anything, and my aunt and grandmother spare their lives, and they don't dare anymore! The big man begged for mercy.

The blue light was still shuttling and weaving, twisting that arm into a strange position. He Angelica was embarrassed and said: "I also want to spare you, but I don't know how to make it stop, or you can bear it anymore?" As he said this, the bones of his arms creaked miserably, and the next moment, the joints twisted unnaturally, and the man's pleas for mercy disappeared.

The blue light is the afterimage of the night pearl flying, and when the night pearl falls back into He Angelica's palm, the blue light also fades.

"What baby, this?"

She poked the pearl of the night in a new way, and the bead rolled around in the white and tender palm, and shouted-"Didn't you hear what that scumbag said?" How can you still laugh? ”

This one...... It's really the beads that are speaking, and the voice is coming from within. Her eyes widened.

Wrapped in the anger that the huge torrent could not reach, a young milk doll's voice, with the volume of mosquito flapping its wings, yelled: "When can I learn to take care of myself?" When do you know how to avoid danger? If I don't show up, are you really going to let that person touch your face? ”

Hearing this, He Angelica complained quietly: "If you touch it, you won't lose a piece of meat." ”

The bead doll was furious and babbled, "Stupid stupid! I'm so angry, Xiaoyi, you, you, you...... Leave Guanfu with me, I can't stay here anymore! ”

He Angelica covered his mouth in surprise, this tone, tone, was clearly ......

"Meng Xuan? Is that you? Surprise welled up in his throat, "You are little Meng Xuan, it's you!" I thought you were gone, and I shouldn't have talked to you so many times! So you're still there, I miss you so much! She approached the Night Pearl to see where little Meng Xuan was hiding.

The words "I miss you so much" had a miraculous effect, and immediately stopped the beads that were roaring at the level of mosquitoes, and took all the dissatisfaction back. "Well, actually, I hear it......" said the bead doll, "you can hear it every time you talk to me, but I don't have enough energy to respond to you, I'm sorry...... Do you miss me so much? I want to ...... every day Or do you want to think about it every other day? ”

The beads flashed with a dark blue halo, and He Angelica felt that this was a sign of little Meng Xuan's shyness. Although there are a lot of things I want to ask him, this is not a good place to talk, first take the Gu King in the box away, take it and ask Feng Yang's aunt and ninth aunt, maybe this is the antidote to the Gu in the glittering world......

"Huh? What about what's in the box? ”

After a glance, the brocade box on the table was empty, what about the pitch-black liquid? He Angelica was so anxious that he rummaged through everything on the table.

Zhu Zi hurriedly stopped: "Stop! Don't touch the corpse of that ink monkey, the Gu King has already gotten into the soles of its feet! ”
