Xia Houshu had never encountered such an unreasonable person who refused to communicate. She quickly glanced at the ignorant Wang Chonghou and the stumbling guards around her, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart. The efficacy of Qingsu Lu depends on the person.
Strangely, if Wang Chonghou suddenly wakes up and shouts to attract other guards in the palace, or summons a hunting dog, won't her happiness be in vain?
If the man in black refused to help, even if Wang Chonghou couldn't wake up in a short time, she wouldn't be able to get out. The Prime Minister's Mansion was heavily guarded. Since Wang Chonghou had arranged the arrest in advance, there must be other tricks hidden there, such as those extremely vicious ones.
of hounds...
If she takes a step back, even if Wang Chonghou does not leave any backup, there is no guarantee when the night guard will come over, and the fate waiting for her will only be worse.
That night, ever since she was put in this cage, she had been hovering on the edge of life and death. This was more torturous than giving her a quickie. After finally seeing a glimmer of hope, she would never give up easily.
Xia Houshu tried hard to recall some of his sad past, brewing his emotions for a while, then squeezed out a trace of tears, looked at the man in black, and said sincerely: "I know my request is a bit overwhelming, and there is no reason for you to save me.
. But I am still so young, and I really don’t want to die in such a tragic way. As the saying goes, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If you save me, I will definitely repay you twice as much in the future!"
Man in black:......
Seeing that the other party was still unmoved, Xia Houshu couldn't help but be a little surprised. He thought to himself that this person is really interesting. She, a little girl, begged him so humbly, but he didn't react at all?
However, she soon realized that she was wrong. With her current appearance, the other party couldn't tell that she was a little girl, right? It's no wonder that he didn't know how to show mercy to her.
But the identity of the other party was known, so she did not dare to reveal her identity.
Xia Houshu thought for a while and continued in a different way: "Prime Minister Wang just said that someone broke into his mansion again and again at night, but this is obviously my first visit, and you happen to be here, so... the person he mentioned doesn't know how to do it.
Is that you? If that’s the case, I’ll take it for you! I’m so unjust! You can’t just ignore it!”
Man in black:......
Xia Houshu looked at the door and said: "Since you are a frequent visitor to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you should also know that the Prime Minister's Mansion keeps a lot of hounds, right? The hounds are the most sensitive, and they may have been ambushing nearby. At this time, you and I are one
Grasshopper on the rope, if you hesitate any longer, none of us may be able to escape!"
Although he said this, Xia Houshu felt like a mirror in his heart. Her threats were ineffective. Even if those hounds pounced on them, they would be agile and unrestrained. It would be easy to escape, but those who could not escape would still be there.
Only herself.
I don’t know what happened to the man in the fox mask who was pushed into the pack of dogs last time, and whether he escaped. If he fell into the hands of Wang Chonghou, I don’t know if he would have a way to survive.
The man in black was still staring at the eloquent man in the cage as if he were watching a play, as if he were watching a dying prey. Under the exquisite golden mask, his eyes were unpredictable.
Xia Houshu was too lazy to chatter with him, so he simply said what he wanted to say directly, "Of course I had a purpose in sneaking into the Prime Minister's Mansion, but what about you? You couldn't have accidentally walked here while unable to sleep in the middle of the night, right? Of course I did.
I don’t want to know what your real purpose is, I just ask you to be a good person and do it to the end. And you and I have no grudges. My death will not do you any good. It’s better for you to show mercy and save me and form a good relationship.
.”
Man in black:......
"Can't you speak?" Xia Houshu seemed to have thought of something. She hadn't heard him speak since he appeared. And her series of earnest persuasion seemed to be a one-man show.
Man in black:......
"You can understand what I'm saying, right?" Xia Houshu asked again. Even if you can't understand, at least you can see it!
Man in black:......
"Okay, I'm in trouble!" Xia Houshu's scalp was numb when the other party saw him, and she became more and more anxious. She was not sure whether the other party was really speechless, but she was sure that he could understand her words, otherwise she would
There wouldn't be so much leisurely time watching her talk to herself. He refused to come to her rescue. Maybe it was just that the conditions she proposed were not good enough and did not meet his expectations.
What if she could grant his wish?
Xia Houshu soon had an idea. She looked at the man in black again and said sincerely: "How about you make a condition, as long as you let me out, I can promise you anything. What do you want? Gold, silver and jewelry?
Antique jades? Or delicacies from mountains and seas?”
Man in black:......
"Don't you like it?" Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Xia Houshu thought hard and continued to ask tentatively, "What about the beauties? I know a few pretty young ladies and I can introduce them to you. If you have any other special ones,
Hobbies, such as beautiful men, are actually okay. There is a men's style shop with a good reputation in Beijing. I heard that the artists are outstanding in all looks, and they can play, play, and sing anything... In short, as long as I can do it, I will do it all.
I can satisfy you!”
The man in black coughed uncomfortably and glanced at her with disdain. For a moment, as if he couldn't stand her troubles or finally figured it out, he walked slowly to a corner of the room.
, opened a painting, found a mechanism, and then rotated it three times to the left and right.
Xia Houshu looked at the man in black quietly. Seeing that he was so familiar with this room and the institution, he felt more and more uneasy. He thought that everything in front of him was not another trick to trick her into entering the game, right?
So was Wang Chonghou really fainted, or was he just faking it?
Xia Houshu silently moved his eyes to the burly figure lying at the door, and saw no trace of pretending to be fainted.
So these two are not accomplices, is she overthinking?
There was a sudden "clang" sound in my ears, and the iron cage suddenly rose up, just as suddenly as it fell down.
Xia Houshu composed himself, and his heart suddenly felt enlightened. No matter whether he was a friend or an enemy, he would be a great favor to her if he could release her from this iron cage and let her regain her freedom.
She just breathed a sigh of relief, but then she remembered that she had been poisoned by Qingsu Dew. Although she had held her breath to reduce her inhalation, she could not move at this moment. She could not even stand up, let alone escape from this place of right and wrong.
Xia Houshu raised his head and stared at the man in black, praying that he would be merciful again.
But the man in black just glared at her, turned around and left.
"Please!" Xia Houshu begged. In desperation, he reached out to grab the other person's clothes, but failed to catch her. She fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed.
The man in black stopped when he heard the sound, then looked back, his eyes extremely complicated.
Xia Houshu kept his posture lying on the ground and looked up at the man in black with great effort, his eyes full of expectation, but also a bit of shock and pity.
The man in black stood there and paused for a moment, as if to convince himself, then quickly walked over, picked up Xia Houshu, put it on his shoulders, quickly walked to the corner, then jumped up to the top of the wall, and then used his strength to jump
Went up to the roof and soon left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xia Houshu felt like a big sack. Although he was surprised, he did not dare to say anything and gritted his teeth.
After landing, the man in black did not put her down immediately. Instead, he avoided the patrolling guards and went straight into a dark alley.
Xia Houshu knew that his life was in the hands of the other party, so he did not dare to question it with words. He only silently recorded in his mind how many alleys they had taken in order to estimate their current location.
The man in black carried Xia Houshu to a secluded corner, suddenly put her down, sat on the ground against the wall, and left quickly, regardless of whether she had the ability to defend herself.
This is?
Xia Houshu didn't understand what happened for a moment. He looked at the man in black disappearing at the end of his sight and wanted to cry without tears. However, he had no power to restrain the chicken at the moment, so he could only sit quietly in the corner.
In summer, the sun is blazing during the day and the heat is unbearable. At night, after the heat subsides, it feels a little cooler. Xia Houshu leaned against the wall and was as quiet as a chicken. A gust of wind blew, and he felt a chill in his heart and a sore nose.
Yes, my eyes are also astringent.
She wanted to cry, but she couldn't, so she had to think of something else to cheer her up.
When will Yunxi realize that she is not in the room?
What is Xia Houyi doing again? Will he come to save her?
Will Wang Chonghou suddenly wake up and bring his pack of hounds to catch her?
…
After a long, long time, there was a faint sound of beating at the end of the long and narrow alley, indicating that it was already the fourth night, but she still didn't have the strength to stand up.
Then there was a sound of brisk footsteps coming from far away, which was particularly abrupt in this quiet alley at night.
Xia Houshu suddenly looked at the source of the sound. It was the man in black who had abandoned her here just now. The mask with golden phoenix tail patterns on his face was also very eye-catching in the night.
Did he finally realize that it was wrong to leave a girl like her on the street late at night?
Xia Houshu suddenly felt a sourness in his nose, and there was a rush of heat in his eyes.
It seems that there are still many good people in the world!
The man in black stopped and squatted down beside her, but without any words of comfort, he took out a small white medicine bottle from his chest and poured out a small green pill without saying a word.
Then he lifted her chin and poured it into her mouth. The whole movement was smooth, simple and rough.
Is he trying to kill people and silence them?
So he disappeared for a long time, not to figure out how to save her, but to come back specifically to kill her?
Grievance, helplessness, surprise, anger... a variety of emotions surged into her heart instantly. Xia Houshu was distraught. As soon as she moved her mouth, the green pill took the opportunity to slip into her throat, and her tears finally fell from her eyes.
