Chapter Twenty-Three: One Nostril Breathes
Let Don't Return sent a message to Tang Huan, telling him to continue to keep an eye on my father's whereabouts, don't act rashly first, and when we finish dealing with this matter, we will go to pick up Jing'er and come back.
When we approached the castle, we were afraid that our whereabouts would be exposed, so we split up with the Dark Guards. Verlo and I, along with Mumeng, entered the city in a very low-key manner.
Yacheng was originally the territory of Yiguo, but Mu Xian had incorporated more than a dozen cities in the vicinity into his domain. The entire city was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, and a large number of soldiers were guarded at all exits of the city gate. After we entered the city, we first found an inn to settle in, and then began to investigate the whereabouts of Mu Xian and the Divine Beast.
I was about to change my clothes and go out with Willow, but he raised his hand to stop me: "Your body has not fully recovered, it is better to stay here and rest, Ni Meng will stay and take care of you, I can go alone." ”
"I know I won't be able to help if I go, but I'll delay you, but I just don't worry......" I hung my head and wrung my shirt with my hands, not knowing what to do.
He took me into his arms with his strong arms, rubbed his chin lightly on the top of my head, and said, "Don't worry, don't I have a secret guard with me." You get some sleep first, and I'll be back when you wake up. ”
"Words count, and you must be careful, you can bring these cartilage powders with you, maybe they can come in handy." I pulled a bottle of cartilage powder out of my sleeve and stuffed it into Willow's hand.
Although these cartilage powders cannot take people's lives, they can still come in handy in times of crisis.
Willow tucked the bottle into his arms, patted me on the head, and turned to leave the room.
Ni Meng and I were bored in the inn, but we didn't dare to go out and walk around at will. After eating some food in the lobby of the inn, he held his chin with one hand, bit the chopsticks in his mouth, and looked at the crowd outside the door.
"Sister, that queen mother treats you so badly, you still want to save her?" Mud Meng lowered her voice and attached it to my ear.
I chuckled and nodded her head and replied, "Because if she dies, Willow will be sad, and if Willow is sad, I will be sad, so I will save her!" ”
"It makes sense, if Brother Xiao is sad, I will definitely be sad...... It's what it feels like to like someone. ”
Seeing Nimeng's depressed look, I also sighed. Xiao Ran's whereabouts still puzzle me, on one side is the letter he left, and on the other side is Xiahou Ying's strange words. Did he go into seclusion or did something happen?
Just as I was stunned, several gorgeously dressed men walked into the inn.
The leader looked very familiar, and I looked at it for a long time before I recognized it as Ji Bingcheng. Wasn't he in Long before? Did you follow us all the way?
I was muttering in my heart, but the ghost made the god stand up, and the eyes of the group naturally turned to me. Just thinking about whether to explain a few sentences, Ji Bingcheng walked up to me with interest, looked me up and down, and said softly: "Concubine Zhao Niangniang appeared in Yaocheng so openly, she is really a heroine among women!" ”
I was stunned, and then I realized that it must be that Zhou Shilang who exposed the identities of me and Willow.
"What are you doing here?" I looked at the men behind him and couldn't help but be suspicious. As a native of Yiguo, he came to Yaocheng so blatantly, would Mu Xian turn a blind eye?
"I'll answer your doubts, but ...... Trouble the lady to come with me. Ji Bingcheng said quietly, raised his hand and clicked on my acupoint, and I couldn't move for a while.
This scumbag!
I hurriedly glanced at the mud boy next to me and motioned for her to run away so I could tell Willow to come and save me. But I don't know if it's because my eyes are too ethereal, or if Ni Meng's IQ is too good, it wasn't until the two of us were taken out of the inn by the acupoints that Mu Meng threw me a sudden expression.
Ji Bingcheng took me and Ni Meng to an ordinary house on Yacheng West Street, and Ni Meng and I were both pointed, and we couldn't move or open our mouths, so we could only stare at Ji Bingcheng viciously.
Thinking about what might happen next, I can't help but feel a little worried. I haven't figured out what Ji Bingcheng's identity is yet, if he is Mu Xian's person, then it will be a big trouble......
"What does Concubine Zhao want to ask, you can ask now." Ji Bingcheng raised his hand to untie my acupoint, and looked at me fixedly with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
I coughed lightly and said, "What the hell are you?" ”
"I ......" Ji Bingcheng opened the folding fan in his hand and shook it gently, "I'm the cousin of Lord Su, just a low-grade document." ”
"Then what are you doing in Yacheng?"
"This ...... I'm afraid that Concubine Zhao won't believe it. Ji Bingcheng closed the folding fan and slowly retreated to the chair behind.
Put on airs! I cursed in my heart, and then looked away disdainfully: "Now there are nothing more than two possibilities, one, you are Su Che's person, and then Su Che wants to rebel against Wei Luo and make himself the throne: second, you are Mu Xian's person, lurking beside Su Che to spy on the reality of Yiguo." ”
"Oh?" He gently rubbed the side of the fan bone with his fingers and chuckled: "Niangniang is half right, and half wrong. ”
I quickly turned my head back and asked in surprise, "What's the wrong half?" ”
He got up and opened the window, looked at the dim street outside, and then pointed to a mansion in the distance and said, "I am Prince Su's person, but Lord Su is Mu Xian's person." ”
Mu Xian's people?
I suddenly felt a churn of qi and blood, took a deep breath, and then followed his gaze to look out the window and said, "Impossible, how can Su Che and Mu Xian be all the way...... At the beginning, in the Snow Mountain Jedi, Su Che also risked his life to take Bai Ze's blood to save Wei Luo...... At that time, we trapped Mu Xian in the snow-capped mountain Jedi, and he didn't stop him......"
Ji Bingcheng turned his head slightly, hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled with an unfathomable look: "Since ancient times, those who have become big things are not informal, and they can win trust by acting a bitter trick, and this abacus is still cost-effective." ”
"Say no more...... Since you are all in a gang, then Su Che weishenme wants to give up the throne? He could have killed us, and then he would have been his king in peace. ”
Ji Bingcheng shook his head, and retracted his hand holding the window sash a little helplessly: "Concubine Zhao's words are wrong, what Prince Su wants is not the throne, but to help Muxian dominate the eastern corner of the land, as for leaving your lives before, it is also considering that you can balance King Lou with your presence." ”
"You ...... Vile! Although there are still incomprehensions and doubts in his heart, Ji Bingcheng's appearance does not seem to be lying. It seems that it is really possible for Su Che and Mu Xian to breathe out of the same nostrils.
He hugged the mud Meng on my side to the door, and didn't forget to turn around and say, "Stay well, don't try to call someone to save you, this place is heavily guarded, and there is only one end for trespassers, and that is death." ”
