53 The Flower Picker

"My lord, sir, a flower-picking thief appeared in the imperial capital today. Many noble ladies who had not left the palace were murdered. Mr. Ke went to catch the thief."

"Flower picker?" Ye Xi hadn't seen Ke Zixi for a while, so he came to Dali Temple to ask about the situation.

According to what the soldier said, the flower-picking thief was called Hua Haitang, and he specifically targeted girls with haircuts who were engaged, but those who were not engaged escaped his clutches.

It's really abominable, it destroys people's innocence and ruins their marriages.

Ye Xi arrived near the North Street where the informant came to report. This area was the sphere of influence of the Song Taishi Mansion.

There are three betrothed girls here: Song Niannian, the legitimate daughter of the Taishi Mansion, Yang Min, the concubine daughter of the Yang family, and Zhang Linghui, the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family.

If the flower-picking thief appears here, according to his rules, these three girls will all be his targets.

The Grand Master's Mansion has always been heavily guarded, and she was unwilling to miss any possibility.

Ye Xi of the Yang family and the Zhang family had both visited the place. Ke Zixi had made comprehensive preparations, but the Grand Master's Mansion only arranged for a few people.

In this case, Ye Xi finally decided to stay at the Grand Master's residence.

She calmly walked into the back alley of Taishi's Mansion.

She has already checked it all over. If she really wants to sneak into the Taishi Mansion, this is the easiest level to break through.

But as soon as Ye Xi stepped into the alley, he sensed murderous intent.

A hand stretched out from the darkness and clasped her arm violently. Before Ye Xi could react, he caught her with his backhand and pressed her heavily against the wall. A gleaming dagger was placed across her neck.

.

Ye Xi groaned, and the man was slightly stunned and did not go any further, but still held her hand firmly, not daring to be careless.

"Who are you?" he asked coldly in a lowered voice, seemingly not wanting to attract attention.

When Ye Xi heard it, the voice sounded very familiar.

"Ke Zixi?" she asked tentatively.

The person behind him looked slightly confused, and Ye Xi knew that she had guessed correctly.

Unexpectedly, Ke Zixi actually ambushed himself near the Grand Master's Mansion. No wonder the security here was the most relaxed.

"What a coincidence, we meet again." Ye Xi tilted her head as much as possible to look at his face in the darkness. Ke Zi relaxed and took back the dagger on her neck.

"Master Ke, are you waiting here for the flower-picking thief?" Ye Xi rubbed the wrist that was pinched by him and asked in a low voice, moving his shoulders.

"Yes! How did the girl find out?" Although Ke Zixi let her go, he still had doubts about her.

Ye Xi didn't waste any words and took out the token to show his identity, which dispelled his doubts.

"I don't know if it's your guest, please don't blame me." Ke Zixi quickly put away the coldness in his eyes.

Ye Xi really liked this business-minded Ke Zixi. She lightly picked his chin with her fingertips, and Ke Zixi frowned to express displeasure.

"My dear guest, please respect yourself!" Ke Zixi tilted his head to avoid it, saying that he didn't have time to play with her, and Ye Xi obediently agreed.

Ke Zixi took a step back and disappeared into the darkness again, with Ye Xi obediently sticking behind him.

"Master Ke, are you sure this flower picker will come?"

"I can't be sure, and I always feel like something is wrong with this flower picker."

"Something's wrong?" Ye Xi put her ear close to tell him to clarify. Ke Zixi glanced at her and took half a step away from her again.

Su Yue, who had been squatting on the wall and observing for a long time, held up her face and watched the two of them flirting.

She was very happy to see this scene. No wonder Ye Xi always felt ashamed of Ke Zixi.

If she hadn't distracted Ke Zixi, the thief wouldn't have been able to take advantage of him.

She listened quietly to the movements in the Taishi Mansion. Except for Ke Zixi, the Taishi Mansion was also on alert. In addition to the people from the Taishi Mansion and Ke Zixi, there was also the Jingzhao Mansion.

What kind of thief can come and go freely in such a heavily guarded Taishi Mansion?

Su Yue did not dare to be careless. She confirmed her location and quietly entered the Grand Master's Mansion.

She was so light that she stepped on the tiles on the eaves without making a sound.

She stopped at Song Niannian's roof and gently opened a tile.

Song Niannian in the room was obviously waiting for someone. After a while, Su Yue heard that all the secret guards lurking near her had made no sound, and the maid was also unconscious on the ground.

I saw Song Niannian slowly pulling down the clothes on his shoulders, then brushing a few strands of his hair to his ears, even smearing his makeup, and pinching a red mark on his shoulders with his hands.

"???" Su Yue frowned, realizing something was wrong. Did Song Niannian lose her virginity?

Just as Su Yue was wondering, a strange man's voice came from the room.

"Ready?"

"Okay, are you sure you can leave?" Song Niannian turned her back to the man, and the man didn't look at her.

"Of course! Who is I, Hua Haitang?" The man's lips curled up slightly, raising an evil smile.

Ye Xi in the back alley was still touching Ke Zixi.

"Your Majesty, please..." Before Ke Zixi said the word "self-respect", he heard a scream coming from the Taishi Mansion, and Ke Zixi flew into the Taishi Mansion without saying a word.

It was obvious that he had said hello in advance and even knew Song Niannian's room clearly.

Ye Xi frowned to show dissatisfaction, and followed after hesitating for a moment.

As soon as she entered Song Niannian's boudoir, she saw Ke Zixi flying out of the other window chasing the flower picker.

When Su Yue saw Ke Zixi chasing Hua Haitang, she quickly followed.

Hua Haitang didn't seem surprised. She turned around and smiled provocatively. With a wave of her hand, a burst of sand was thrown towards Ke Zixi.

Ke Zixi's heart trembled. Just because of this, he lost the person.

Su Yue frowned and quickened her pace to follow.

Hua Haitang thought that she had gotten rid of Ke Zixi, and she was feeling very proud, and Dali Temple was just like that. Just as she was thinking about it, she sensed an aura of danger.

He quickly moved sideways and avoided Su Yue's blow.

Su Yue narrowed her eyes and threw the flower begonia with the second blow, which was unavoidable.

Just when Hua Haitang was about to be hit, a sleeve arrow came at high speed and knocked Su Yue's dagger away with a clang.

Su Yue recognized the sleeve arrow.

Hua Haitang didn't want to fight, and someone supported him to escape quickly. Su Yue wanted to continue chasing, but the sound of little Linlang wanting to be beaten instantly aroused Su Yue's anger.

"Little Linlang?"

Su Yue frowned, and she knew who else could it be besides Gu Lanxuan, a boring bastard?

Before she could stop, she turned her head slightly. The dark figure squatting on the wall, wasn't it Gu Lanxuan?

Through the veil, Gu Lanxuan could not see the contempt in her eyes.

But Su Yue knew that the situation was urgent and she was too lazy to care about him. Gu Lanxuan seemed to have guessed what she was going to do.

He jumped slightly and landed firmly in front of Su Yue, blocking her way: "What is little Linlang doing here?"

He seemed puzzled, then thought about it and said: "You are doing it for..."

"That's right." Su Yue's voice dropped. Gu Lanxuan sensed murderous intent, and without giving him time to react, Su Yue's sharp blade came closer.
