Chu Wuxian's expression was grim: "Entered the Golden Capital?" And then what? Where to hide? ”

Xin Ying's face was ashamed: "The subordinates don't know, the subordinates originally blended into this group of assassins, followed them all the way, heard that they were going to come to find the master, so they planned to continue to follow, but when passing by a mountain pass, they suddenly said that they wanted to check their identities." ”

"How do you check?" Chu Wuxian keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Xin Ying was able to sit in the top position of the Shadow Building, relying not only on her superb martial arts, but also on her excellent ability to imitate and disguise.

Jiyinglou has a lot of dealings with southern Xinjiang, and Xin Ying can be said to be a person from southern Xinjiang who doesn't show a drop of water, but now she is seriously injured, and it can only be that she has been exposed.

That means they have a special set of identification methods.

Sure enough, Xin Ying was silent for a moment and then said, "They all have a secret tattoo on their bodies, which is not visible at ordinary times, and is no different from normal people's skin, but as long as they are sprinkled with a special potion, a peony flower pattern will appear." ”

"Peony?" Xie Shuangge was surprised, "Southern Xinjiang believes in saints, and the most admired is the snow lotus, how can it be a peony?" ”

Chu Wuxian also asked this question, Xin Ying shook his head and said: "The subordinates saw that those people were accustomed to it, and they didn't feel that anything was wrong, so they suspected that it might have something to do with the master in their mouth, maybe that person likes peony flowers, and this tattoo is unique to his people." ”

Chu Wuxian thought thoughtfully: "In this way, it's not impossible, Peony ......"

"Only the peony is true to the country, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom (1) ......" Xie Shuangge suddenly said: "Could it be that their master is a woman?" ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Chu Wuxian's eyes lit up, and he took this sentence to heart.

"Where are their tattoos?" He asked Xin Ying.

Xin Ying said without thinking: "In the back of the neck, at that time, they wanted to check their identities, and their subordinates were still thinking about seeing how to imitate and fool the past, but they didn't expect them to step forward one by one, an old man wearing a white robe and a hat put his hand into the potion, and then slapped them on the back of their necks one by one, and they all appeared in less than a breath, and the subordinates didn't have time to react at all, so they could only get out immediately." ”

She touched the muslin wrapped around her abdomen and smiled bitterly: "Their strength is not weak, their subordinates really planted a big heel this time, and they almost couldn't come back." ”

"I don't blame you for this, it's because we have too little information about southern Xinjiang, and we've never heard of this kind of invisible tattoo before."

Chu Wuxian's words are not comforting, there is one of the southern Xinjiang customs he investigated before, southern Xinjiang people like to tattoo on their bodies, regardless of men and women, nobles are even more with tattoos as a symbol of identity, the clearer and more complete tattoos, the more changes in color, the higher the status, men are happy with beasts, women often use snow lotus and phoenix birds as a lining, but never mention that there are invisible tattoos.

Either it was researched later, or it was unique to a certain person.

Chu Wuxian had the direction of investigation, got up and said to Xin Ying, "Are there any other clues?" ”

Xin Ying thought about it carefully, hesitated and said, "The subordinates suspect that they have big names in Jindu, so the master should be careful." ”

"Got it, you have a good rest, Xin Wu will be back soon, let her help you take a look at it when the time comes. If you need anything, just tell the maid to do it, and if you can't do it, find Xinlu. ”

"Okay." Xin Ying responded, Chu Wuxian didn't say anything more, and turned to go out.

……

Xin Xing also came back, walking around under the eaves, looking a little anxious.

Chu Wuxian saw him at a glance and called, "Xin Xing." ”

Xin Xing immediately raised his head and walked over quickly, "Master, how is Xin Ying?" ”

"I'm in good spirits, the injuries on my body are a little serious, but they are not life-threatening."

Xin Xing's face visibly relaxed when he heard this, "That's good." ”

Without waiting for him to speak, Chu Wuxian said, "Let's go in and have a look, but don't stay too long, she's a girl anyway." ”

"My subordinates understand." Xin Xing was stunned for a moment, and then the tips of his ears were a little red.

Xin Zhimu sent Xin Xing in and followed, "Master, are you still checking?" ”

Chu Wuxian glanced at him: "Of course we have to investigate, not only to investigate, but also to uproot them, from today onwards, let the people in Jindu be vigilant, but anyone with a difference in the back of their necks, from other places, especially from Luonan City, must be strictly monitored." ”

"Yes! The subordinates will do it. ”

"And-" Chu Wuxian said in a deep voice: "Let people go to Southern Xinjiang to secretly investigate the peony tattoo, see if there are any clues about the potion, if you can get the best formula, if you can't get it, take the potion, let Xin Wu study it." ”

"Yes!"

Xie Shuangge saw that he had kept the affairs of Southern Xinjiang in mind, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Thank you, otherwise this matter would have been exposed a long time ago, and I would not have found so many things, this time I owe you a favor." ”

Chu Wuxian shook his head, walked under the pear tree in the courtyard and said softly: "The minister's behavior is not only because the princess cares, but also because there is another layer of the minister's own selfishness. ”

"What?" Xie Shuangge was puzzled.

But Chu Wuxian didn't answer again, that matter was too dangerous and widely implicated, and he couldn't let anyone know until there was conclusive evidence, not only for the sake of secrecy, but also for the safety of others.

Sometimes, ignorance is safer.

Seeing that he was silent, Xie Shuangge didn't ask any more questions, lowered his head and remembered his parents.

If your parents have spirits in the sky, I don't know how cold they should be?

……

Xin Ying entered the city under the cover of Xin Zhi, and did not attract anyone's attention, everyone just thought it was someone from Jinyiwei, and inquired, but gave up without any news.

After all, the Jinyi guards are not easy to get along with, if you provoke them, you have to be stripped of your skin, and everyone tacitly bypasses them to do their own things.

Not to mention that Xin Ying also lived in the impregnable Chu Mansion.

It was a night of calm and quiet, and nothing happened.

The next day, Chu Wuxian glanced at Xin Ying again, and when he saw that she was still sleeping, he asked people to keep an eye on her, and if she had a fever, she immediately called the doctor, and left for the palace.

Coincidentally, Gongsun Ye also entered the palace today.

The two met at the gate of the palace, Chu Wuxian got off the sedan chair first, turned his head to look at the frame here, and stepped forward to salute, "His Royal Highness King An." ”

Gongsun Ye got down from the sedan chair, the plain white brocade robe stretched out like water, and he hung down neatly, he smiled and arched his hand: "Lord Chu." ”

Chu Wuxian raised his hand: "Lord Wang, please-"

Gongsun Ye was also not polite, took a step ahead, turned his face sideways and accosted Chu Wuxian, "Lord Chu is wearing a flying fish suit at a young age, which shows the holy grace." ”

Chu Wu pulled his lips, "Your Majesty is very loving, and Weichen is terrified." ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Ye glanced at him, and said with some envy: "It's really good, if Your Majesty can treat this king to one ten-thousandth of the adults, this king will also be content." ”
