Chapter 53: I Didn't Even See a Ghost

Not far away, on a tall building, a man stood with a silver mask in his hands, and through the window, he saw the three of them parting ways.

Behind him, a guard walked in.

"Master."

Mo Yanjue glanced at Gu Xinian's direction, turned around, and Jue Yi seemed to see what his master was holding in his hand, but he didn't say much.

"Staring at the letter from the secret guard in the palace, the Queen Mother is going out of the palace tonight."

"Where?"

"Mo's house."

Gu Xinian walked along the street, all the way forward, and she wondered if she was in the wrong place.

The originally bustling streets, the more people walked, the fewer people came, and even those lights gradually disappeared.

At this time, the lights around him had disappeared, and darkness had been replaced by darkness.

Only the moon hanging high in the sky casts some light on the ground, and she can see something.

The door next to it was closed, there was no light, and there was no one else on the street except her.

It seems to be very uninhabited.

"It's over, it's gone."

Gu Xinian secretly said that he had no brains and walked so far.

She divided the direction she had come, and was about to go back.

Just as he was about to turn the corner, he heard the sound of something smashing on the ground and shattering.

Gu Xinian paused, leaned against the wall next to him, and took advantage of the moonlight to see what was going on on the road he was going on.

And he saw a man in ragged clothes sitting on the ground, next to a broken wine jar that had fallen on the ground, and in front of him were two strong men with large knives in their hands.

One of them was holding a large knife on the man, and the latter was trembling and terrified.

"Did you see a woman in a light purple dress passing by?"

"I didn't ...... No...... The little one is an alcoholic, and with wine, he doesn't care about anything...... The two uncles don't talk about a woman, it's a ghost, and the little one doesn't see it......"

Purple?

Gu Xinian glanced down at himself and almost scolded his mother.

Isn't she wearing purple?

In the night market, Su Chen and Rong Ziyan had already gone to the previous place to gather, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't see Gu Xinian.

I can't help but feel a little worried.

"What's going on? Don't come back yet? Something can't be wrong, right? ”

Rong Ziyan searched for it, but still didn't see the petite figure.

I'm worried, but I can't mess around.

"Wait, maybe you're still looking for it."

And on Gu Xinian's side, the two big men glanced at each other, and the killing intent appeared in their eyes.

In order to avoid extraneous branches, this person cannot be kept.

With a movement of the blade, a large amount of hot blood splattered out and landed on the ground beside him.

The man's eyes widened in disbelief, and he wanted to call for help, but he couldn't say anything.

He only moved his lips and fell to the ground.

When Gu Xinian saw this scene, his palms were covered with thin sweat, and seeing the two strong men continue to walk forward, Gu Xinian could only go back.

She walked extremely carefully, for fear of touching something and making a noise.

There are very few bends in this street, and there is nothing to dodge.

In order to avoid being seen, Gu Xinian could only walk in the dark, and he had to be light and fast to avoid being seen.

But even so, Gu Xinian was still seen, and the people behind shouted to catch up, and Gu Xinian immediately ran away with his life.

Fortunately, there was some distance before, so that Gu Xinian was not caught immediately.

Passing through an alley, Gu Xinian glanced at the big straight road, calculated a gamble, and got in.

There are still some doorways inside, and some of the doors are locked and dusty, and they can't get in at all, except for the last one.

She pushed open the door lightly and went in, and quietly tied the door back, inside was a backyard, not inferior to Su Chen's house, and it was also a rich family.

But it was extremely dilapidated, the dry leaves fell to the ground, everything was covered with thick ash, many utensils were covered with cobwebs, and from time to time some insects crawled over them.

Gu Xinian frowned.

It should have been a small door that she had just entered, and the door was locked without accident.

To hide is to live, but if you can't hide, this is where she is buried.

Thinking about it, there was already a sound outside, so Gu Xinian avoided the dead branches and leaves, and walked inside.

But it didn't take long for the footsteps to come to an abrupt halt.

Because in the compound ahead, there is a person.

Wearing a cloak, he stood with his back to her.

Then, a man in black came out of nowhere and landed next to her.

Although she couldn't see her face clearly, she guessed that she wasn't a good person.

Gu Xinian tugged at the corners of his mouth, a little speechless.

No wonder the small door was unlocked, and someone came in when it was closed.

However, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, isn't this the day to kill her?

Later, the two big men found the last door that had not been locked, pushed it, and found that it was locked, even if they guessed that someone was inside.

So he started kicking the door.

Gu Xinian almost didn't frighten to death when he heard the sudden sound, and the two people in the courtyard couldn't help but stop talking when they heard the voice.

"Didn't you say that the Mo family's house is quiet and no one will disturb us? What's going on? ”

It was a woman's voice that spoke, and if Gu Xinian listened carefully, he would definitely feel a little familiar.

But at this time, Gu Xinian was panicked by the sound of kicking the door, and he didn't listen carefully.

"How do I know? Even the Shanghai Lane has never been over, you and I have a grasshopper on a rope, can I still harm you? ”

The kicking continued, and the woman frowned impatiently as she looked at him.

"Go fix it."

Seeing that the man was getting closer and closer to him, Gu Xun shrank down and silently prayed that the man would not see her.

The man walked across the eaves, frowned suspiciously, looked to the side, and saw nothing.

Secretly, maybe he was too sensitive.

At this time, the small door had been kicked open, and the two strong men saw the man, a little puzzled, but still waved their knives up.

The man glanced lazily, and with a wave of his hand, the two long logs next to him penetrated the bodies of the two strong men.

It just started and ended, and it didn't blink an eye.

The man frowned in disgust, and as soon as the wind blew, the open door was closed again.

He turned back and looked at the man next to him.

"Dead."

On the eaves, Gu Xinian looked at the people below, and felt a little palpitating.

The place where the man looked was where he stayed.

She looked at Mo Yanjue beside her, and it was this person who carried herself.

Sensing Gu Xinian's gaze, Mo Yanjue glanced at her and did not speak.

Fortunately, the moonlight was scattered vertically, and they were lying on the eaves on the opposite side, and there was no shadow of them on the ground, otherwise, when the man returned, he would have seen them.

Mo Yanjue wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her down without making the slightest sound.

pulled her to a place that was close to the two of them and hidden.

"How's the soul mirror looking? The master can't wait anymore, let you come to Beimo, it's not as simple as just being the queen mother! ”

The first sentence shocked Gu Xinian.

Dowager?

The person with the cloak turned his head, and it was the appearance of the Queen Mother, only to see that her eyes were contemptuous at this time, and her tone was a little impatient.

"How many times have I said that? After the Su family was wiped out, I searched back and forth several times, but there was no trace.

I used Su Chen to enter the palace and give you to him, so that you could find the clues of the soul mirror. Didn't you find anything too? ”

"I know it, but the master only needs the soul mirror. If you think about it carefully, is it possible that the thing was given away by Su Chen's father a long time ago? ”

The Queen Mother sneered, it was the Mo family that had a close intersection with the Su family, but the Mo family was also destroyed by her, didn't she find anything?

Unless......

Seeing that the queen was solemn, the man knew that he should have remembered something.

"When Gu Luoxue and Ye You got married, the Su family gave a gift."

"What's that?"

"Jade bracelet."

The Su family has always been rarely close to other people, and they hardly have much contact, which is recorded in the account room.

She flipped through the account book, most of them were family treasures, and most of them were given to the Mo family, in addition, when Gu Luoxue and Ye became married, they gave a pair of glass jade bracelets.

I remember it clearly in that book, and it is all private things in the house, I am afraid that it was written by Su Chen's father himself.

The man frowned, the bracelet?

"What does this have to do with the Soul Mirror? The soul mirror is not a bracelet. ”

"The Su family and Gu Luoxue don't know each other, what happened to her marriage to the Su family? What's not good, I want to give that bracelet. Even if it's not a soul mirror, there may be clues.

What's more, after giving that bracelet to Gu Luoxue, I never saw it again. Even if Gu Luoxue died, Gu Xinian didn't know where to go, and the Ye family didn't have any news about this thing. ”

In this way, this bracelet disappeared with the gift of the Su family?

If it is said that there is no cattleness, it seems difficult to explain.

Thinking about it, the man sighed and looked at her again.

"What are your plans? Gu Luoxue is dead. ”

"Since this thing is for Gu Luoxue, if it is important, then she will definitely keep it properly, or even hide it. We don't always find it when we look for it. Gu Xinian is her daughter, and maybe she will leave some clues for her. As long as Gu Xinian is here, he may be able to help us find the jade bracelet. ”

"But don't forget, Gu Xinian, he is no longer a member of the Ye family."

"I naturally know this, but at today's banquet, Ye You proposed to let Gu Xinian go back."

The man frowned, a little puzzled.

"How could he mention this?"

"This has nothing to do with us, if Gu Xinian can go back, it will save us a lot of things."

"But...... She probably didn't even know about the existence of the jade bracelet. It's also inconvenient for us to come forward, after all, it's not just you and me who are staring at the soul mirror now, the first two palace thieves, I'm afraid it's the same as us, it's all for the soul mirror. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she sighed, this is also a problem.

"Let me think about it first, now, the first thing is to let Gu Xinian go back first."

The man nodded, and seeing that it was not too early, he said:

"I'll go first. When you go back, be careful, don't let people see you. ”

As he spoke, he nodded on tiptoe and flew away.

Not long after, the Queen Mother also walked away.

Gu Xinian looked at the already empty place, a little stunned.

Mo Yanjue glanced at her, and her voice was cold.

"What are you doing here?"

If he comes later, it is estimated that the lying there will have to be taken care of for many years.

"It's nothing, I accidentally walked away when I was looking for someone. Seeing that the two big men came to look for the purple clothes, they could only hide first, but they didn't know that there were people here. ”

Mo Yanjue retracted his gaze and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Gu Xinian.

"Hey, the one just now, is it the Queen Mother?"

"What do you think?"

Mo Yanjue turned back, and his tone was still a little cold.

What does she think? She thought it was.

"The two times you entered the palace before...... Also to find the soul mirror? ”

Mo Yanjue looked at her and didn't speak, but Gu Xinian inexplicably read the words "what do you want to say".

Gu Xinian touched his nose, it seems that he can start hugging his thighs?

"That soul mirror, is it really related to the bracelet?"

Is it related? Maybe.

The Queen Mother and they haven't found it for two years, and now it's suddenly a clue that may be a clue, so naturally they won't let it go.

And he also wants a soul mirror, so he must also check it.
