Although he is not a gentleman, he does not take advantage of the danger of others, leaving a wisp of charm and warmth on the couch, and retreating from the door alone.

At this moment, the lobby is empty, and the drunken passers-by have long since dispersed, and there is no night watch, only some leftovers and empty bowls. The moonlight of the desert shines through the doors and windows, like a frost.

Qing Xiaonian's mouth was a little dry, and he remembered what Xiao Er said before, so he opened the curtain in the kitchen and walked in.

A pot and a plate were placed on the dish rack as if deliberately prepared, Qing Xiaonian poured a bowl for himself and drank it all, just when Qing Xiaonian was about to throw the bowl and leave, the old and withered dish rack suddenly shook slightly, Qing Xiaonian was a little surprised and stretched out his hand to push the dish rack, the wooden frame actually slipped straight into the corner, revealing a lime brick wall behind the shelf, which looked a little out of place compared with the surrounding earthen walls.

Qing Xiaonian subconsciously tapped the wall with his fingers, and there was a crisp echo.

"There's a dark wall?"

Since there is a dark wall, there must be a mechanism, and Qing Xiaonian immediately started to explore.

"Found it!" Sure enough, he touched a blue brick that was different from usual, a little loose, and Qing Xiaonian gently pushed it inside.

The blue brick wall suddenly leaked in front of Qing Xiaonian's eyes, because the sun was not ventilated, a musty smell also came to the nose, which felt like those stinky tofu that was specially sealed in a jar and fermented, it was very unpleasant.

Qing Xiaonian pinched his nose and walked in cautiously, for fear that there would be any more mechanisms inside, and Qing Xiaonian would soon find that his worries were unnecessary.

His eyes flashed and he looked at this secret room, one side of the table, and a simple bed, there was nothing else, the furniture was a little old, but the strange thing was that there was no dust on it, it should have been someone who lived in it not long ago, and the mattress and pillows on the bed were relatively new, and Qing Xiaonian was more certain.

"Could it be a princess?" Qing Xiaonian muttered to himself in thought, and then looked around, and the hard work paid off, and sure enough, a pair of delicate pearl earrings were found under the embroidered pillow.

Qing Xiaonian smiled slightly, it was this pair of earrings! Obviously, after Lin Fugui's death, they quickly transferred Princess Xiuyi to another place, and before the transfer, this pair of earrings was a clue left by the princess.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the lobby, Qing Xiaonian frowned, quickly exited the secret room, and quietly stood behind the kitchen curtain, looking into the lobby through the gap.

I saw Xiao Er sneakily walk to the door and take down the latch, poke his head out and look left and right for a while, and suddenly ran east.

Qing Xiaonian did not hesitate and immediately chased out, Xiao Er's pace was very light and sensitive, stepping on the yellow sand without sinking, just bringing up a little fine sand, the pace was getting faster and faster, and he rushed out more than ten zhang in the blink of an eye.

Qing Xiaonian, who was quietly walking behind him, was a little surprised, he didn't expect that a little handyman would also have excellent light skills, and he didn't feel that he had a hunch in his heart, the place where this little two was going was the place he wanted to find, and then his body shook slightly, and he also ran out of more than ten zhang, but always maintained a distance of twenty zhang.

The two of them walked quickly for a while, until a desert oasis appeared in front of them, and Qing Xiaonian felt a burst of joy in his heart, "That's right, this is it!"

Xiao Er didn't slow down, his body swayed into the woods, and Qing Xiaonian was not ambiguous, like an off-string arrow followed closely.

When Qing Xiaonian came out of the woods, a large lake appeared in front of him, and a palace-like building stood impressively in the center of the lake!

I saw that Xiao Er had already swept across the surface of the lake and made several layers of splashes to reach the center of the lake, and then disappeared into the palace.

Qing Xiaonian did not slack off, and also swept towards the lake, only to see that his body was like a swallow piercing through the clouds, and his steps were like dragonflies with three points of water, heading straight to the center of the lake. The ripples divided the inverted moon on the water into several sections, and by the time Qing Xiaonian arrived at the center of the lake, Xiao Er's figure had long been nowhere to be found.

Qing Xiaonian looked at the soles of his feet, a fox smile raised at the corner of his mouth, and walked towards the hall.

Outside the magnificent hall stands two Chinese watches, the outer wall of the Chinese watch is a layer of gold plating, two Chinese watches are carved with a gold dragon, and the other root is carved with a tiger, which means that the dragon and tiger keep gold.

The hall is even more luxurious, with nine tall gilded candlesticks made of ambergris as wax, brightly lit, and incomparably fragrant. Even the carpets are all gold wire carpets, which are hundreds of square meters.

The most eye-catching thing in the main hall is the golden dragon chair placed on the hall, which is carved with nine big golden dragons lifelike, and even Qing Xiaonian has to sigh at the luxury of the owner of this palace when he sees it.

"Is the other one still there?"

"It's still there!"

At this time, there was a sudden sound of conversation in the hall, Qing Xiaonian did not plan to show up, and once again hid behind the Huamu carved door outside the hall, and looked into the store through the door, there were only two people in the hall, one was wearing a flower-haired old man in a golden silk robe, and the other was a fierce and strong man with a golden knife on his waist.

I saw the flower-haired old man ask again, "Did he find you?"

The strong man replied, "No!"

The flower-haired old man said: "That's good, that's good, I heard from the rivers and lakes that he is very cunning, slippery like a catfish." ”

The fierce man replied: "No matter how cunning he is, he has to be here this time, let him slide into the pot and make soup to drink!"

The flower-haired old man laughed when he heard this, but Qing Xiaonian was a little confused by the questions and answers of these two people, and he didn't know what the two were talking about, so he continued to stand outside the door and eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

The fierce man asked, "Then when did I go and slaughter this catfish?"

"He's here!"

Before the flower-haired old man could reply, there was a sudden screaming sound behind him, Qing Xiaonian was shocked, and he didn't even know when a big living person was standing behind him, so he quickly turned his head to look behind him, but in an instant, a white powder mist came to his face, and Qing Xiaonian had no time to dodge, and it was too late to hold his breath because of fear.

I only saw a figure, but I didn't see my face clearly, and my eyes turned white, and I fainted.

Qing Xiaonian woke up and leaned on the gold-lacquered stone pillar in the main hall, I don't know if it was himself or the nine tall candlesticks in this hall were burned with ambergris incense candles, and the fragrance was full of fragrance, Qing Xiaonian did not faint for long.

When he opened his eyes slightly, his vision gradually became clear from blur, and his eyes were full of gold.

"You're finally awake. ”

The flower-haired old man said loudly.

Or these two people are standing on top of the main hall, plus the three of Qing Xiaonian, and nothing else.

Qing Xiaonian tried to stand up by the pillar, but he felt weak all over his body, let alone get up, even if he moved his fingers, it was difficult to go to the sky, Qing Xiaonian had to give up after trying a few times.

The flower-haired old man glanced at Qing Xiaonian and said, "Don't be in vain, what you just got is ten fragrant soft tendons, even if an iron bull comes, it will lie there honestly, let alone you..."

Qing Xiaonian took the words of the flower-haired old man, and said weakly: "Don't talk about my catfish, right?"

When the flower-haired old man heard this, he laughed: "That's right! And it's the most cunning little catfish in the water!"

Qing Xiaonian laughed at himself and sighed: "This can fall into your pot and be slaughtered by others." ”

The flower-haired old man said: "People have misses and horses have stumbled, but your cleverness surprised me a little to find this place so easily." ”

Qing Xiaonian said lightly: "Is this difficult?"

The flower-haired old man said, "Is this very simple?"

Qing Xiaonian chuckled when he heard this, and said: "Simple! It's so simple that it can't be simpler, it seems that some people still think that they are now in a strategic position to win a thousand miles away, but they don't know that they are already a caged bird." ”

The flower-haired old man's face was finally no longer calm, his face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and the loose skin in his eyebrows squeezed out the word "Chuan", it was obvious that he didn't like this feeling of being understood.

Qing Xiaonian glanced at the flower-haired old man and continued: "Do you see what I said right?
