Xia Houshu had never believed in gods and Buddhas, but this time, she thought from the bottom of her heart that she should find a temple with effective incense, burn some paper money, put incense sticks and pray for the blessings of Bodhisattva. She even suspected that it was the last time she went to protect the Buddha.
Guo Si offended some kind of deity by speaking out loud, and in the past month or so, she has been in danger three times and four times, which is retribution.
I don’t know if it’s too late for her to convert to Buddhism now.
Xia Houshu's first reaction was to touch the dagger she carried with her. However, the person behind her had already seen through her intention, and not only took the dagger away from her first, but also clasped her hands behind her back, moving quickly
It was so rough that she almost burst into tears from the pain, and was completely unable to fight back.
How many women in the world can withstand the torture of this kind of force? If they are so ignorant of love and beauty, even a man can't bear it, right? What will they do with themselves?
Then I thought about it, this is the emperor's feet, and it is also the most crowded and prosperous neighborhood in the capital. Even if they really have any bad ideas, they won't do anything here.
Xia Houshu was thinking in confusion.
However, the brutal plot as imagined did not happen.
Xia Houshu looked at the man in front of him in shock. He had a tall jade crown and a tall figure. He was the man in purple who was at the Huguo Temple that day. The one who locked her hands behind her back was the cold-faced man, but today he was dressed in black.
The outfit she wore made her look even more ruthless, and the look in her eyes was as unfriendly as ever.
At this moment, the man in purple's delicate and delicate face looked very serious because his expression was too stingy, and there was also a hint of coldness, giving people a sense of oppression and alienation without anger or self-power.
He seems to prefer purple. He is also wearing purple clothes today, but the color is darker. The collar, sleeves, train and other parts of the clothes are embroidered with heavy ring patterns, which also looks more stable.
Although he still doesn't know his true identity, Xia Houshu still has a good impression of him and is more patient because of his delicate and beautiful face.
Xia Houshu secretly pondered their intentions, thinking that since they didn't deal with her immediately, they still had a chance to defend themselves. However, half of her face was covered tightly with a cold expression, and she could even clearly feel
The cold-faced god's palms are calluses worn out by years of holding weapons.
After a lot of effort, she could only make a "wuwuwu" sound. She was completely speechless and blinked desperately at the man in purple in front of her.
The man in purple looked at her with a complicated expression for a while, then waved his hand, ordering the cold-faced man to let go of her, and then asked: "Why are you following us?"
Xia Houshu originally thought that she had been recognized while disguised as a man, and she felt a little guilty. After all, what happened at Huguo Temple that day was too weird and secretive, and there was no guarantee that they were not trying to silence them. Now after hearing this, she felt at ease.
As long as he is not recognized, everything is easy to talk about. As for the other party's suspicion that she intends to follow her, it is even more nonsense. She doesn't even know his last name. It's just that they happened to meet each other, so they just like to listen to what they are doing.
Nothing more.
But eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a shameful thing...
Xia Houshu composed himself and said seriously: "Master, please be careful what you say. I am obviously the one who came here first, so how can you say that I am following you? If you don't believe it, call the bartender to confront you. I don't believe there is no justice in this world."
, it’s whatever you say.”
The man in purple and the cold-faced man looked at each other and said nothing.
Xia Houshu didn't intend to give up as soon as he was satisfied. Instead, he said: "I was just passing by the door, but you kidnapped me and trapped me here without any explanation. I would like to ask you what your intentions are."
The man in purple frowned slightly, and his cold face seemed to be frozen. None of them expected that Xia Houshu would just refuse to admit it, but he would be bitten in return.
Xia Houshu couldn't care about this. She glanced at the two of them and continued to say arrogantly: "Luoyuefang is owned by your family, so you are the only one allowed to come, and I can't come?"
"You have clearly gone downstairs just now." The man in purple exposed her without mercy.
"Who went downstairs?"
I just want to buy something to take home and drink, is there any problem?"
The man in purple not only did not change his face after hearing her sophistry, but instead smiled and said: "As far as I know, the tea in Luoyuefang is only for drinking in the store and never sold outside."
Xia Houshu was a little confused, wondering if Luoyuefang really had this rule. After all, all the dishes and snacks in the store can be taken away.
Seeing that she felt guilty, the cold-faced god couldn't help but interject: "Sir, I think this person is smooth-talking and doesn't speak the truth, so why not..."
"No need."
Before the cold-faced god finished speaking, the man in purple waved his hand to stop him, then looked at Xia Houshu with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Have we met somewhere?"
Is this a new way to strike up a conversation? Or have you been recognized?
Xia Houshu's mind was spinning rapidly.
That day in the bamboo forest behind the Huguo Temple, although the light was not very good in the evening, they were so close that unless the other person was blind or night-blind, they would not be able to see her face clearly. It was just that she was wearing women's clothing at that time.
, but now he is pretending to be a man, and normal people would not associate the two identities. And it has been a long time, no matter how poisonous the eyes of the man in purple are, he will not be indifferent between men and women, right?
Xia Houshu couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking, so he had to deal with it silently.
Seeing that she didn't answer, the man in purple changed his question: "Then do you recognize me?"
"What?" Xia Houshu looked suspicious. What does this mean?
Should she know him? If meeting him counts as knowing him, the answer is yes. But Xia Houshu also knew that if he said he knew him, it would be equivalent to answering the previous question at the same time.
But why did the man in purple ask her this question inexplicably? Was it a test? Or had he discovered her identity and regretted not solving her together that day, so he thought it was not too late to take action now?
Not understanding the other party's true purpose, Xia Houshu did not dare to answer casually, and deliberately pretended to be stupid: "Do you think you are very famous, so you are so arrogant that you think everyone should know you?"
The man in purple raised his lips slightly and said with a hint: "It seems that you are still a smart person."
Xia Houshu rolled his eyes and said, "Have you ever thought that smart people have offended you? I want to be treated like this by you!"
Xia Houshu racked her brains to think of how to change the topic. Then she looked at the man in purple, then glanced sideways at the cold-faced man, and suddenly remembered her previous suspicion.
If a normal man is suspected of having his sleeves cut off, he will do something to prove his innocence, right?
Maybe this is a good opportunity to reveal their identity...
Having made up his mind, Xia Houshu straightened his back in an instant, half asking and half threatening: "It's you who have caught me here. What do you want to do? I tell you, wishful thinking is the most taboo in relationships. Don't look at my appearance.
If you look good, you will do evil to me, I'm still young!"
"Wishful thinking? Evil intentions?" When the man in purple heard this, he was just confused at first, and then frowned, as if he was thinking about the meaning of her words. After a moment, he seemed to understand something, and then looked at Xia Houshu with interest.
Asked: "How small?"
"Little? What little?" Xia Houshu was stunned, completely forgetting what he had just said.
"You said you were young just now, how young are you?" the man in purple reminded, and at the same time, he looked at her figure in an unclear way.
Xia Houshu didn't realize there was anything wrong with the man in purple's question, and said honestly: "A man is considered an adult when he is twenty years old, and I am only fifteen now, so naturally I am young."
"You are indeed still young." The man in purple nodded, as if he understood.
Xia Houshu didn't understand what he meant by asking about his age, and he didn't have time to argue with him. He quickly returned to the topic and said: "In this case, you can't bully me just because you have more people and older age. Why don't you let me go quickly?"
?”
Xia Houshu looked at the man in purple, but he spoke to the cold-faced man in black behind him.
The cold-faced god was not stupid yet, and he immediately drew his sword again.
"You only talk but don't do anything!" Xia Houshu said quickly and quickly stopped him with words. He turned around and opened the door while shouting, "Here comes someone! Help -"
Suddenly, silver light flashed in front of her, a long sword was placed across Xia Houshu's neck, and her shouts stopped abruptly.
The cold-faced god struck very quickly, looking at her with a look of indifference and disgust.
A good man doesn't suffer the consequences of his immediate loss. Xia Houshu did calm down for a while. His big and lively eyes lingered between the two of them for a long time. In a blink of an eye, he looked aggrieved and said angrily: "You guys are bullying the weak. With this,
The more you bully the less!"
"I advise you to be honest!" the cold-faced god scolded in a cold voice.
"You still dare to kill me?" Xia Houshu rolled his eyes at him. He was sure that the other party didn't dare to do anything to him, so he deliberately leaned against his sword blade and said provocatively, "This is Luoyuefang, the emperor.
Below you, in the imperial city, there are city guards patrolling everywhere. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape."
Leng Mian couldn't bear to be provoked by others, and was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out, but because his master didn't say anything, he didn't dare to do anything to her.
The man in purple, who had been watching with a cold eye, seemed to have seen through Xia Houshu's little thoughts. He glanced at her indifferently and waved his hand gently to signal the cold-faced man to forget it.
The cold-faced god let out a snort of disdain from his nose and sheathed his sword in an instant. The movement was so fast that Xia Houshu didn't even see it clearly.
Xia Houshu felt very unhappy when he was suddenly aggrieved, so he deliberately muttered: "It's clear as day, two grown men are in the same room together, there's nothing shameful about it."
Upon hearing this, the cold-faced god unconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and said angrily: "You make this nonsense again!"
"What did I say?" Xia Houshu took pretending to be stupid and innocent to the extreme, "I just said casually, you were the one who took the position. What? Are you really plotting something that is harmful to nature, money and life? Or is it?
Say...you two are hiding here and doing things on the sidelines?"
"..."
As soon as these words came out, not only was the cold-faced man angry, but even his usually calm master was shocked. His brows were knitted together. He couldn't tell whether he was angry or thought her words were ridiculous.
Xia Houshu gradually realized that what he said might stimulate these two people and make them go crazy. You know, they can deal with more than a dozen well-trained killers, and they can also clean up the scene overnight.
People who leave no clues!
Xia Houshu was about to say something, but the two of them turned around and opened the door and left.
Xia Houshu's mind was full of doubts, and he couldn't digest it for a while. After a while, he took a deep breath, touched his stiff neck, and lamented that it takes courage to be a rogue.
What she didn't know was that when the two men walked to the corner where no one was around, the man in purple suddenly said: "You saw it just now, is it the same person?"
The cold-faced god nodded and said: "Although she is wearing men's clothes, her eyebrows are thickened on purpose, and her face is darker, we can tell that she is the same person."
The man in purple pondered for a moment and said, "Find someone to pay close attention to her movements."
