Her figure quickly drowned in the crowd, and no matter how Qiu Cicada and Dong Mei called, she didn't look back.

The Qujiang banquet is next to the Shangshi Festival, so there is no curfew in the capital these days, and it is all night long, and the people on the street are very lively.

Huo Jiuge followed him to a restaurant, she watched him stop at the door, the bright lights of the restaurant reflected on him, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see his face clearly.

She followed the mysterious man into the restaurant, and the other party, led by a maid, walked up to the second floor with ease, and just as Huo Jiuge was about to follow, a drunken man suddenly blocked in front of him.

"When did this Juxinglou come to such a good-looking wine lady?" As he spoke, he was about to touch Huo Jiuge's face, but after she dodged him, the other party's face immediately changed, and he took advantage of the wine to play crazy and said, "Huh-you dare to hide?" Do you know who I am? Do you believe this son's words or not, you can make it impossible for you to mix in the capital, and when the time comes, don't say it's you, even your whole family will starve to death! ”

With such a voice, he directly shifted the attention of everyone in the audience to the two of them, including the man who Huo Jiuge was following.

I saw the other party standing on the staircase on the second floor, looking to this side inquiringly, the eyes of the two gathered across the crowd, and Huo Jiuge finally saw his appearance clearly.

It was a very ordinary face, like a grain of rice falling into a rice jar, if it weren't for the fear in her heart that reminded her, Huo Jiuge probably would have been difficult to notice this kind of person-looking.

Except for a pair of cold star-like eyes, there was no bright spot on his body, Huo Jiuge's eyes went down, looking at the arm that he showed outside his sleeve, he was holding a horizontal knife, and some of it was invisible.

Just when Huo Jiuge wanted to try to see clearly, the other party suddenly turned around, and then continued to walk the road under his feet.

And Huo Jiuge was still pestering this scoundrel, the other party not only begged her for mercy without showing fear, but was also absent-minded, and did not take his words to heart, he was suddenly angry, and raised his hand to beat someone.

But at that moment, he was stopped by the shopkeeper who rushed over, and the shopkeeper explained to the man with a smile: "You have misunderstood this guest officer, this girl is not from us, if you want to find someone to drink, I will arrange it for you immediately." ”

"Not from you?" The man squinted his eyes and looked Huo Jiuge up and down, and then said with his oily mouth: "How could a girl from a serious family come to such a place?"

He is full of nonsense, if it weren't for the important matter now, with Huo Jiuge's temperament, he would definitely be beaten all over the ground!

At this time, the shopkeeper was calming the man's emotions while asking Huo Jiuge not to worry about him.

In the end, Huo Jiuge just glanced at him, and then hurriedly chased after him while the person was still in his sight, the man behind him was dissatisfied with her attitude, and seemed to want to make trouble, Huo Jiuge didn't care about him.

The second floor was a private room, and as soon as she went upstairs, she saw the corner of the clothes that had disappeared around the corner, and the maid had also withdrawn after sending him there.

After locking his position, Huo Jiuge walked into an empty private room next to him.

Even if the wooden restaurant is finely done, it is inevitable that there will be gaps, looking at the dark room with a glimmer of light, Huo Jiuge removed the vase on the table, and then put his ear on the wall, ready to see what the people inside were talking about.

"Last winter, that group of eunuchs asked the emperor to allocate funds under the pretext of renovating Weiyang Palace, and now it's March, damn it! They didn't even fix the roof, and they were clamoring for money."

"I really don't know what a group of people who don't have below, what do they want so much money for? Is it that when you are ready to die, you will bring all the money into the coffin? ”

Listening to their tone, it seems that they are all officials of the DPRK and China, and they are still discussing the rebuilding of the Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is the residence of the queens of the past dynasties, but since the fire of the first queen many years ago, it was burned clean, and the land has become a ruin, and now the queen can only live in Kunning Palace.

Although Kunning Palace is also extremely luxurious, it is still a little worse than Weiyang Palace, and it was at most just a concubine's residence before.

"This time, Prince Yu has made a contribution to the wrong case in Huzhou, as soon as he comes back, the emperor will increase the budget on Weiyang Palace, is it possible that the emperor still has any expectations for him?"

"What can a half-breed mongrel emperor expect from him? Could it be that you hope that the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty will be controlled by people with half Yi blood? ”

"The emperor has always been frugal, so he is willing to spend so much money on rebuilding Weiyang Palace this time?"

Huo Jiuge originally thought that what they were complaining about was just the eunuch's personal pockets, but he didn't expect that there was still something about Prince Yu.

And hearing them say that he came back after finishing official business outside, as soon as he said this, Huo Jiuge suddenly thought of the team of people he met on the way to Qujiang Banquet this morning.

It is estimated that the leader is what they call Prince Yu.

Later, their discussion became quieter, Huo Jiuge couldn't hear it clearly through the wooden wall, but he vaguely felt as if they were complaining to someone, and that person's identity was far above them.

Huo Jiuge, who couldn't hear the sound, was anxious in the next room, she kept looking for the best position, trying to figure out what they were saying, and in the darkness, her arm accidentally touched the vase that had just been removed.

By the time she reacted, the vase was already crumbling, and she quickly reached out to help it, only to touch another pair of hands that had come out of the darkness.

Huo Jiuge touched the table when he retreated, making a loud sound, especially in the dark, which was extremely harsh.

This voice also reached the next door, and when they heard it, they immediately stopped discussing it.

"What's going on?"

"Is there anyone next door?"

In the dark, Huo Jiuge couldn't see the other party's face clearly, let alone whether it was friend or foe, in order to save her life, she planned to strike first.

She pressed the other party against the wall with her backhand, plucked the hairpin on her head with one hand, pressed it against his neck, and then asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" ”

Although the weather in mid-spring is getting warmer, it is still a little cold at night, especially Huo Jiuge has been showing up outside for so long, her little hands are cold, but her eyes are as dazzling as the scorching sun, and they are full of killing intent.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Huo Jiuge increased the strength of her hand, and the flesh on the other party's neck was about to be cut by her, this is the lifeblood of people, if she stabbed a little deeper, the other party would immediately die on her hands.
