250 Life is like a play, all about acting
Seeing the long sword break through the dust, as if it had eyes narrowly brushing past his sword, and then coming straight to his face, the assassin who was affected by Feng Xi almost immediately withdrew his gaze.
Damn, he knew that this princess was crazy, but he still almost fell in love with her.
And Qi Xiao didn't ask the other party stupid words like "who sent you here", but the sword was ruthless, forcing the other party to face it head-on.
But the more he fought with the other party, the deeper the coldness in Qi Xiao's eyes became.
Seven days ago, the spies they sent to monitor the third room sent back the news that the Su family was heartbroken after Xie Lian's father and son fell ill, and wept bitterly in front of many slaves.
But after she dismissed the servants, there was a servant who remained in the room, and this person was not her cronies and servants, but Xie Lang's servant Wanhui.
This Wan Hui is the most good at stealing and playing tricks on weekdays, so he has always been embarrassed in front of Xie Lang, and he has always been by Xie Lang's side in the past few days of civil strife in the Xie family.
Of course, even if the Su clan left this Wanhui in the house, the two of them didn't know what to say behind closed the door, and the spies only reported it truthfully, and did not speculate much.
Because the mother interacts with her son's most trusted servant, it is very common in the extended family to knock on some of her son's private situation.
However, he and the little phoenix were very impressed by this Wan Hui, after all, the other party had followed Xie Lang to the original owner before, and the original owner should be implicated if Qi Xiao was beaten, and it was even more common to be beaten and punished.
Therefore, Qi Xiao only thought about it a little, and then wanted to order people to pay more attention to this Wanhui.
Who knew that before he gave the order, the Su family took the initiative to take this Wanhui to the Qing Academy.
He was not there, but the little phoenix's eyes were bright, but he sent someone to inform him in front of him, saying that this Wanhui was no longer himself.
Coupled with Su's obviously unwilling but very abnormal behavior, they immediately withdrew the spies, lest Fake Wanhui detect that something was wrong.
And to stabilize the fake Wanhui, it is natural to stabilize the Su family, so that the fake Wanhui feels that his use of the Su family's method is useful and can help him successfully achieve his goal.
Therefore, no matter what the Su family sent, the little phoenix received it all, and even everything went down.
Originally, he and his sister-in-law meant to only accept and not eat, so as not to secretly attack the other party.
After all, not every poison is a stool attack, and some may take half a month to take effect.
What's more, it is synthesized by a variety of beneficial drugs, and eating one is not only not harmful but also beneficial, but it can be troublesome to eat a few things in a row, and then combine them with special drugs.
This poison was once considered by doctors to be the most difficult to understand and the most difficult to identify, not to mention the methods used by the so-called "immortals".
Then he listened to a certain phoenix:
"They have something to do with eating because they are not strong enough, this palace is different, this palace is a strong batch, if they eat it to death, it will be considered a loss in this palace!"
Qi Xiao: "......"
He was speechless, and listened to Feng Xi's indifferent addition:
"Besides, the old man's porridge and vegetables can be seen at a glance in the palace, the energy is mixed with the aura, and the palace is not stupid, so he will definitely not eat problematic things."
Bai Yi: "......"
You know everything, you just squat on the side and watch the play, let's not ask you and don't say yes, right?
At that time, Qi Xiao thought about it, and yes, that fake Wanhui was so cautious, he shouldn't have let the Su family directly poison the little phoenix.
After all, this is too easy to fail, so that the people in the princess's mansion are wary.
What he saved should be his own hands, and he didn't know how to pour the heart of the little phoenix.
If you speculate like this, then the other party's current behavior is easy to explain.
The Guogong Mansion has been from the literature for generations, and it is inevitable that the family will pay more attention to literature than martial arts, so the quality of both the generals and the soldiers is not as good as the current Princess Protector's Mansion.
Therefore, even if the Guogong Mansion was quite heavily guarded a few days ago, this fake Wanhui could still be comfortable after figuring out the terrain.
But today's Qingci Yuan is different, not to mention the extraordinary strength of the sentry posts and sentries arranged by him personally, let's just say that the complex terrain of this Qingci Yuan is not something that the other party can easily do.
Because the Qing Ciyuan was the residence of the first queen when she was not out of the cabinet, the first duchess of the first country repaired and expanded several times in order to press the three rooms, not to mention, and after the death of the first queen, Emperor Shengde beat the harem because of the nostalgia of his wife, and the new repair and expansion several times.
So don't look at the Ciyuan as just a courtyard in the Guogong Mansion, in fact, its area is one-third of the Guogong Mansion.
Moreover, there are a bunch of cloisters and high pavilions in this third, and there are several dwellings alone.
As a result, it can also be seen as several yards, a nightmare for a killer assassin who hasn't stepped on it in advance.
With such a nightmare and a bunch of highly skilled guards, it is inevitable that Fake Wanhui wants to step on it.
This is also the reason why he wooed the Su family and asked the Su family to take him to the Qing Ci Courtyard every day to deliver meals and talk about it.
After figuring this out, they created a very comfortable environment for this fake Wanhui to step on the spot, and after the other party had obviously stepped on it for several days, they deliberately released the news that Qi Xiao was not there today.
They don't know if this fake Wanhui has the means to communicate with the outside world, so Qi Xiao really went to Dali Temple today, and has been running errands in Dali Temple.
And the reason why he can appear here at this moment is naturally thanks to the blessing of the little phoenix's space tearing.
However, the success of blocking the assassin in front of him did not bring him joy, but made him clearly aware of the strength of his opponent.
The cold blade swept past the side of his face, and Qi Xiao knew that if his movements were slowed down for a second, the blade would pass through his face.
He still underestimated the other party.
Before, he speculated that the person who came this time was the weakest of those people, and this person should be stronger than Qin Chai and the others, but not too much stronger.
But the fact is that the strength of the other party is far above Qin Chai and the others, even if he wants to capture the other party alive, it is not easy.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiao almost didn't hesitate to pick up a sword flower, lifting countless gravel under his feet, and taking the opportunity to fascinate the other party's eyes.
However, this is actually a fake move, and his real purpose is to follow this move with a killer move.
Of course, this killing move is not to kill the other party, but to give the other party a legitimate chance to get out.
Because the consumption of killing moves is often huge, it is difficult for normal people to catch up with the rhythm at the beginning after launching a killing move, and they will even relax their vigilance because they hit the target.
It turns out that the fake Wanhui is indeed clever and very willing, and at the moment when Qi Xiao's sword flashed out like a rainbow of lightning, he directly gave up his defense and took Qi Xiao's move with his right chest.
At the same time, the blade was raised, forcing Qi Xiao to withdraw his sword and retreat.
As soon as Qi Xiao retreated, no one in the entire Qing Ci Courtyard could stop his way.
I saw that the figure flashed, and he directly disappeared into the complex terrain of the Qing Ci Courtyard.
It's just that what he didn't know was that after his figure disappeared, Qi Xiao's first reaction was not to take someone to chase him, but to look back at Feng Xi who was cooking.
In this regard, Feng Xi took a big bite of rice, and believed that I didn't run away with an honest and reliable face.
