Xiao Lingdang sat beside the bed and looked sideways at the pale Tang Xiaohao. When she touched Tang Xiaohao's right hand, she felt that his skin was hot. She quickly raised her hand to touch her forehead and found that Tang Xiaohao had already had a fever.
Little Lingdang exclaimed in surprise: "You have a fever."
Tang Xiaohao was actually confused for a long time: "As long as you don't get angry. There's one more thing, you heard me clearly."
The little bell immediately asked: "What's the matter?"
Tang Xiaohao said: "If I am bitten by that thing, I will definitely mutate. But after the mutation, although I will turn into a monster, it will not be very powerful. You should be able to deal with it. Prepare your weapons. Once you find that I have mutated,
, stab me directly in the heart, if you can't do it, just come to my father."
Little Lingdang naturally refused: "What are you talking about? Just lie down and I will get you some water."
Little Lingdang quickly turned around and opened the door, and went to fetch water from the well with Tang Dun, trying to find a way to cool down Tang Xiaohao.
The busy two people did not realize that a figure had climbed over from the outer wall, fell into the side courtyard, and hid behind the rockery not far away. This person was none other than Bai Ruhong, who was being chased by the Dragon Leopard Cavalry.
——
In the study room in the backyard of the Tang Mansion, Tang Tang, who had taken off his armor and put on butler's clothes, was kneeling in front of Tang Chen, telling him in detail what had happened before.
After listening to this, Tang Chen put down his teacup: "So, the person I'm looking for should be the oiran named Hanshuang?"
Tang Tang replied: "It should be her."
Tang Chen stood up and came to the desk with his hands behind his back: "Being able to escape from the dragon and leopard riders is beyond ordinary. Moreover, Guijia was also found in the dungeon below her room."
Tang Tang said again: "General, the dungeon was connected to the secret passage, but later a wall was built. Hanshuang probably didn't know about this, so he locked the monster at the end of the dungeon, but the wall at the end was
The cell happened to be connected to a secret passage, and the monster escaped after breaking the wall."
Tang Chen turned around and looked at Tang Tang: "Guijia escaped but was killed by someone. That person also beat half of Guijia's head off? Have you found that person?"
Tang Tang said: "No, I originally thought I could follow the blood trail, but the man must have found a way to bandage the wound. After I chased him out of the well, I found that the blood trail was broken."
Tang Chen immediately thought of the injured Tang Xiaohao. It was obvious that Tang Xiaohao was injured by Guijia. If there was no accident, he was the one who killed Guijia. Although Tang Chen knew that Tang Xiaohao was born different from ordinary people, he should not
Although he was infected, he was still a little worried. What made him even more confused was that with Tang Xiaohao's current skills, it was impossible to kill that kind of thing. How could he do it?
Tang Chen nodded slightly: "Hanshuang has not been caught, and the person who killed Guijia has not been found. This should be the first time that Longbao Cavalry has been so completely defeated on its own territory."
Tang Tang lowered his head to the ground: "General, it's your subordinates who are incompetent!"
Tang Chen did not accuse Tang Tang: "You only know one thing about this, but not the other. So it's not surprising that you can't find them. You can go down and have a rest."
After Tang Tang thanked him, he stood up and left.
When Tang Tang left the backyard and came to the front yard, he subconsciously looked at the location of the side courtyard. He had lied before. It was not that he had not chased the person who killed Guijia. After chasing out of the well mouth, although the blood trail was indeed broken,
However, when the black panther arrived after tracking Han Shuang to no avail, he relied on the panther's keen sense of smell to find the intermittent remaining blood drops. But what he never expected was that he would follow those blood drops.
I actually found the main entrance of Tang Mansion.
Tang Tang did not doubt the Black Panther's sense of smell, because the Black Panther never made a mistake, so after taking off his armor and turning back into the honest and honest butler, he specifically asked the armored guard at the door who had been in and out, and the answer he got was -
—Only Young Master Tang had come back before, and it seemed that he had hemorrhoids.
Is it such a coincidence? Tang Tang doesn't believe in coincidences. However, when Tang Chen arranged for him to go to Twelfth Square to search and arrest people, he did not tell him why he did so, nor the causes and consequences. In addition, Tang Chen said it before
He only knew one but not the other, which was why Tang Tang concealed his suspicion that the person who killed Guijia was Tang Xiaohao.
Since his master Tang Chen did not tell him the whole truth, it meant that there was something going on that he did not want him to know, and he should follow his master's wishes instead of being smart.
This is Tang Tang’s experience as a housekeeper for many years. Even if you have bright eyes, you will still be blind when you should. Since you can be blind, you can also be deaf and dumb.
Just like the two guards currently guarding the gate of the side courtyard, although one is blind and the other is deaf, they save a lot of trouble and at least live comfortably.
——
After sneaking into the side courtyard of the Tang Mansion and hiding in the rockery, Bai Ruhong had already changed her clothes, and at first glance she looked like just an ordinary woman.
This outfit was stolen by Bai Ruhong outside a house by the river, and that house was still in the West Market. She deliberately sneaked to the West Market and changed her clothes, leaving the old clothes there, and then turning them back.
To confuse those who are following her.
If it weren't for the Yongchang River that runs through the city of Shendu, Bai Ruhong would have been caught by the arresters. But what she found strange was that not long after she escaped from Twelve Square, the armored dragon and leopard knight who originally hunted her were killed.
They quietly withdrew, leaving only the Yamen and Shendu Army people searching for him all over the city.
Bai Ruhong knew that once the Shendu Army also joined the search, Liao Yanqi would definitely know that something had happened to her and would definitely find a way to wait at the agreed place. There were two things she needed to do now, one was to remove the disguise, and the other was to
It is to kill the little bell to silence it.
Because Bai Ruhong is performing a long-term lurking mission, the disguise she uses is not just a mask. Instead, she first uses potions to relax her face, then kneads her face into a frosty look, and finally
Silver needles were inserted into more than a dozen knots on the head (the meaning of knot is the x position, that word cannot be typed, please understand) to fix it.
This process is extremely painful, and most people simply cannot bear it. The most important thing is that the silver needles in certain parts cannot be taken out by oneself, and one can only ask others to help.
Bai Ruhong, who was hiding behind the rockery, looked at Xiao Ling Dang and Tang Dun who were fetching water. After the two entered the house carrying buckets and basins, she did not follow them immediately. Instead, she waited quietly for nightfall, at least until dinner.
Let’s take it in, because Bai Ruhong is already dizzy from hunger.
When Tang Dun finally brought the food into the house, Bai Ruhong rushed into the house from behind the rockery and knocked Tang Dun unconscious from behind with a palm from behind.
The sudden appearance of Bai Ruhong startled Little Lingdang, but she quickly calmed down, and Bai Ruhong turned around and closed the door.
Little Lingdang stepped forward and asked with concern: "Sister Hong, why are you here? And you are dressed like this?"
Bai Ruhong did not answer immediately, but stared at Tang Xiaohao on the bed. Originally, she planned to knock Tang Dun unconscious and then restrain Tang Xiaohao, but after knocking Tang Dun unconscious, she found that Tang Xiaohao had no reaction, which made her feel a little strange.
When Xiao Lingdang saw Bai Ruhong coming, she did not reveal that she knew what was going on, because that would bring danger to Tang Xiaohao. Now Tang Xiaohao was injured, sleeping in bed, and could only be at the mercy of others.
Bai Ruhong walked slowly to the bed, looked at the bucket and basin beside the bed, and looked at the towel in Xiao Lingdang's hand, and then asked: "What's wrong with him?"
Little Bell said: "I'm injured, I have a fever."
"Injured?" Bai Ruhong was confused, but it was impossible to associate the two loud noises under the Twelve Squares with Tang Xiaohao, and she didn't even know that the Guijia sprite was dead.
Little Lingdang had no choice but to lie: "He was bitten by a dog."
Bai Ruhong opened the quilt and took a look at the injured location. Because the injured location looked like it was bitten by a dog after being chased, she didn't have any doubts.
Bai Ruhong walked to the door again, looked outside through the crack of the door, and said at the same time: "Something happened, I was discovered."
Little Bell pretended to be surprised: "What's going on?"
"I don't know either," Bai Ruhong sat at the table, "Come here and help me get the needle."
Little Bell stepped forward: "Get the needle?"
Bai Ruhong said: "Just do what I say and don't worry about the rest."
Xiao Lingdang followed Bai Ruhong's instructions and took out the dozens of silver needles on her head one by one. Every time a needle was taken out, a certain part of Bai Ruhong's face would change. Although Xiao Lingdang was shocked to see it, she still remained
Pretend to be calm.
After all the silver needles were pulled out, Bai Ruhong's face became extremely terrifying, as if the facial skin had completely melted.
The little bell couldn't bear to look directly at it and didn't dare to look down.
Bai Ruhong picked up a silver needle on the table and said, "What are you afraid of? You forgot, you are like this too."
Little Lingdang was confused at the time and subconsciously touched the back of her head.
Bai Ruhong said: "Since my identity has been exposed, your mission is over. Now we have to restore our original appearance and leave together. You sit down and I will help you get the needle."
At this time, Xiao Lingdang's mind went blank. She couldn't believe that the face she saw in the mirror every day was not hers. She also wanted to know what she looked like. She thought that as long as she saw her true face, she might be able to recall it.
Who am I, so I sat down unprepared.
Bai Ruhong stood behind Xiao Lingdang and pressed the two knots of Xiao Lingdang tightly. Xiao Lingdang fainted after feeling dizzy.
Bai Ruhong held the little bell, put it down, and lay flat on the ground. Then she said to herself: "Whether I can escape or not depends entirely on your face."
Afterwards, Bai Ruhong first checked Tang Dun and Tang Xiaohao to confirm that they were still awake, then took out a small bottle and placed it in front of their noses respectively, letting them inhale the powder to ensure that they would not
After waking up in a short time, she sat at the table and took out the potion, and began to change her appearance according to the appearance of the little bell. The only trouble was that this time she needed to get the injection herself.
Fortunately, it was easier to insert the needle than to take it out, so after half an hour, Bai Ruhong's face became almost the same as a little bell.
Bai Ruhong carried Little Bell to the inner room and put on Little Bell's clothes. Just when she was about to silence her, she heard someone knocking on the door, so she had to put Little Bell into the closet and hide it. Then she walked out and put the
Tang Dun leaned over the table and then stepped forward to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Bai Ruhong broke into a cold sweat because the person standing outside the door was none other than Tang Chen.
Bai Ruhong came to her senses, immediately stepped aside and saluted, "Master."
Tang Chen was about to say something when he saw Tang Dun lying there: "What's wrong with Tang Dun?"
Bai Ruhong glanced at the wine bottle on the table: "I'm greedy, I drank too much."
"I just know how to drink," Tang Chen frowned and asked, "Where is the young master?"
Bai Ruhong looked in the direction of the bed: "The young master was bitten by a dog and has a fever. I am taking care of him."
With that said, Bai Ruhong walked forward, picked up the towel that Xiao Bell had placed on the table before, soaked it in the bucket, and began to wipe Tang Xiaohao's face.
Tang Chen stepped forward slowly and checked the wound: "Bitten by a dog again!? This kid knows how to get into trouble!"
Although Bai Ruhong seemed to be wiping Tang Xiaohao's face, she held a hidden weapon in her hand. Once Tang Chen found out something was wrong, she would kill him without hesitation.
Fortunately, Tang Chen didn't seem to notice anything wrong. He just looked distressed and said, "You're injured like this and you don't even say a word. You go and find the doctor. I'll keep watch here."
How did Bai Ruhong know where the doctor of the Tang Dynasty was? But in order not to expose the secret, she had no choice but to leave.
After Bai Ruhong walked out of the side courtyard, she looked at the two guards who were dozing at the door, and then stepped forward and asked: "Two of you, the young master has a fever. I said to call the doctor."
Bai Ruhong originally thought that this method could avoid revealing the secret. If she couldn't find the doctor, the two guards should be able to find him. Even if they couldn't find him, they could still ask the guards to ask. Who knew that the two guards wouldn't pay attention to her at all?
Still dozing there.
When Bai Ruhong stepped forward to wake them up, she heard Tang Chen's voice coming from behind: "You forgot, one of them is deaf and the other is blind."
Bai Ruhong was startled, and turned around to look at Tang Chen, who was standing in the side courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Tang Chen added: "Xiao Lingdang has lived in the Tang Mansion for some time. He knows that the two guards at the gate of the side courtyard are deaf and blind. He also knows that there is no doctor in the manor. Moreover, my son never drinks.
It was filled with thirsty drinks, so Tang Dun would not get drunk no matter how much he drank. Even if he brought wine into the house and got drunk, the house would definitely be filled with a strong smell of alcohol, so,
who are you?"
Fallen into a trap! Only then did Bai Ruhong realize that she had been discovered by Tang Chen a long time ago. The reason why Tang Chen wanted to let her leave was mainly because he was afraid that if a fight broke out, the unconscious Tang Xiaohao would be hurt.
Bai Ruhong threw the hidden weapon without saying a word. The poisonous hidden weapon hit Tang Chen's face directly, but Tang Chen easily avoided it by turning his head.
In fact, Bai Ruhong also knew that Tang Chen was highly skilled in martial arts and that she was not his opponent. He just wanted to escape the moment he threw the hidden weapon. Who knew that when he was about to escape, a gun tip appeared at his throat, and
There is also a long knife under the armpit of her right arm. If she moves rashly, even if the spearhead does not pierce her throat, the long knife will directly cut off her arm.
The people holding spears and knives were none other than the two deaf-blind guards at the gate of the side courtyard. The two of them changed their appearance at this time. The previous sluggishness was gone, replaced by murderous intent on their faces.
Tang Chen stepped forward slowly: "Although one of them is deaf and the other is blind, they were famous killers in the world more than ten years ago. What killers are best at is concealing themselves and taking action suddenly when the other party relaxes their vigilance.
Only then can you kill with one strike... I ask you again, who are you?"
