After entering the palace, Bai Yifei did not hide the sound of his footsteps as before, and the iron boots made a crisp sound when they hit the floor.
Mingzhu, who was taking off the jewelry on her head, heard the noise and was startled at first. Then she immediately remembered who could have caused the noise and regained her composure.
She didn't even look back. When she heard the footsteps approaching, until they stopped, she took the lead to speak, with a charming tone mixed with contempt and sarcasm:
"Cousin, you have been missing for more than a month, which makes people worried to death. I wonder if this is also part of your plan?"
Bai Yifei's originally gloomy expression became even gloomier after Mrs. Mingzhu's deliberate ridicule. His whole face couldn't help but twist together, and it was so solemn that water could squeeze out of it.
But... whoever makes him mess up his affairs will have no choice but to sit back and let him be laughed at.
Bai Yifei took a few deep breaths, suppressed his embarrassment, and asked coldly:
"How is the situation now?"
Mrs. Mingzhu turned around and looked at Bai Yifei who was in an extremely bad mood. She suddenly felt extremely comfortable.
She raised her beautiful hands, pretending to play with her nails, and replied lazily:
"What else?"
"That night, you disappeared, and Ji Wuye and his imperial army were completely defeated..."
Mingzhu briefly recounted all the consequences after the war.
Bai Yifei had been quite calm when he heard what he heard before - it was purely good news that Ji Wuye was not dead but was only seriously injured. He had hid away to recuperate without knowing anything before, for fear that Ji Wuye had already left the food to cool down. The Emerald Tiger would have to pay for it again.
One hundred thousand gold is not a big deal, anyway, it is not his turn to make money, and Bai Yifei does not spend his own money. Mrs. Hu...who is that? Who cares whether she dies or not.
But after hearing what happened next, Bai Yifei couldn't accept it.
Yan Lingji was lured by him after he asked the coir raincoat guest to send people to Baiyue to spread the news. He finally caught her, but she was intercepted before even being interrogated!?
The most important thing is that Bai Yifei is worried that Gu Xun's purpose in wanting this woman is similar to his own, and he is also eyeing Canglong Qisu, which will be very troublesome...
After that, Bai Yifei no longer cared about Yan Lingji.
"The coir raincoat guest is missing!?" Bai Yifei had a very rare breakthrough, and asked loudly with a face full of shock and disbelief.
"Although I know it's hard for you to accept, he is indeed missing and there is no news." Seeing Bai Yifei's gaffe, Mingzhu felt more and more happy. If she were alone, she might burst out laughing at this moment.<
/p>
"You don't have to ask whether they were found or not. Ji Wuye also didn't want his intelligence leader to fall into the hands of others. As soon as he learned about this incident, he sent all his people to carefully search for the path that the coir raincoat guest used to escape that night. He searched for half a month.
, got nothing."
Bai Yifei took a few more deep breaths, suppressed the rising anger and anxiety in his heart, and asked in an even colder voice:
"Is there no target of suspicion?"
"Of course there is. The Iron Blood Alliance and the Qi Royal Family are the two most suspected families, but... it's useless. Without evidence, can we provoke the Iron Blood Alliance or the Qi Royal Family at night?" Mrs. Mingzhu fiddled with her right hand.
He shook his fluffy long hair and asked.
Bai Yifei ignored Mingzhu's non-yin and yang rhetorical questions and just made a note of it in his mind.
Knowing the suspected target is of some use to him.
Linyi Ke knows a lot more than Ji Wuye and Mingzhu know, and the extra parts are basically related to Bai Yifei. If this is leaked, Bai Yifei feels that he may cause a lot of trouble.
It's always good to have a suspect.
At this time, Mingzhu asked Bai Yifei:
"So, what are your plans now?"
Plan?
Bai Yifei glanced coldly at Mingzhu who couldn't hide his gloating at his misfortune - he still has a plan to kill him now!
"What about you? Gu Xun didn't come to trouble you?"
Mingzhu spread her hands and said seriously:
"How is it possible? That man is not that generous. Of course he came to me to settle the score, but... he stopped after I promised some benefits."
"What's the benefit?"
"It's nothing more than some conveniences in the palace. It's not important to you, so don't worry."
Bai Yifei was too lazy to pursue these matters, so it was better not to involve him. He just warned casually: "Be careful yourself and don't go too far."
Mingzhu chuckled, not bothering to talk to Bai Yifei, and then closed the door to see off the guests.
"If you have anything else to ask Ji Wuye, he probably also wants to see you. If you don't show up, the problem of the vacancy of the coir raincoat guest cannot be solved."
"If it has nothing to do with me, just leave. I want to rest."
Bai Yifei vaguely felt that something was wrong with Mingzhu.
In the past, she didn't really have a good attitude toward herself, and she wanted to see her fail and be embarrassed, but her attitude was always relatively restrained, but now she seems to be... relatively more casual.
Bai Yifei couldn't figure out the reason, and didn't know if it was his own illusion. He could only suppress the strangeness in his heart for the time being and turned around to leave.
Mingzhu looked at the leaving figure in red and couldn't help but smile happily.
Now that she has a new supporter, she naturally doesn't need to care too much about Bai Yifei's attitude as before.
………………
At this time, in the Yin Yang Family stronghold, Concubine Dongjun Yan... or Fei Yan, whatever she calls her... she had received a notification from the Yin Yang Family disciples before, and the reply from Xianyang has arrived.
In the past half month, she was mainly waiting for the next instructions from Donghuang Taiyi. During this period, she dealt with Han Fei's thank you banquet, went to (think) secretly observe Gu Xun from time to time, and at the same time carefully collected all valuable information in the city.
Intelligence.
This is all to prepare for possible next tasks.
And now, she finally got the real mission instructions.
"Invite this person to join the Yin Yang family and do your best. Any conditions are acceptable. If it fails, kill him!"
The crimson smoke burned away the secret letter, and the sharp phoenix eyes flashed a few times, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Winning Gu Xun to join the Yin Yang family is not a problem, but whether the other party will agree is unknown. If he refuses to accept it, he will have to kill him... The question is how to kill him?
Dongjun became the deputy head of the Onmyoji family at a young age. Her talent in Onmyoji is unparalleled. Even her sister who is equally talented and beautiful is slightly inferior to her. However, at the age of 28, her strength is almost the same.
To catch up with the five elders, Feiyan's arrogance and self-confidence are far beyond comparison with other people.
But no matter how confident she was, she knew it well. According to the current intelligence, Gu Xun, a man with a single sword, overturned more than a thousand well-equipped and well-trained imperial troops the night before. The next day, he was on the street like nothing happened.
I wandered around and came in and out of Zilanxuan at will.
Obviously, the more than a thousand dead souls basically did not cause any substantial harm to them during their lifetime.
Feiyan thinks that she will be able to achieve this level in ten years, but now... she can't.
