Seeing that Nan Rongshu was about to take the lead out of the secret passage, Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes, suddenly exerted force on his feet, and moved to Nan Rongshu's side in the blink of an eye.
Ling'er reacted suddenly, thinking that Xiao Cheng was thinking of doing harm to his master, so he quickly stepped forward to block Nan Rongshu.
But Xiao Cheng's sword finger reached out, and the power of his Yang finger exploded, invading the body. In an instant, it had traveled throughout the body, directly blocking the acupoints all over the palace maid Ling'er's body.
"Hey, you little girl, why are you so surprised!" Xiao Cheng smacked his lips, looked at Ling'er and shook his head.
Ling'er glared at Xiao Cheng angrily with her big eyes, and was even more panicked in her heart, fearing that Xiao Cheng was going to do something bad to Nan Rongshu.
Nan Rongshu frowned when she saw Xiao Cheng suddenly taking action and directly touching Ling'er's key points, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction:
"She has never practiced martial arts, why should she be like this!"
Xiao Cheng curled his lips, spread his hands and said:
"I didn't mean it, it was this little girl who was making noises..."
Nan Rongshu looked at Xiao Cheng quietly and said calmly:
"You untie her acupuncture points, and I will go up with you."
Xiao Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, then he nodded and chuckled:
"It doesn't matter, you just got injured, it's okay for me to help you!"
Xiao Cheng didn't think Nan Rongshu was seriously injured, so he was kind enough to help her up. It was clear that he was preparing to attack Nan Rongshu here.
Just now, Xiao Cheng was sure that Nan Rongshu would not take action, because if he took action in the palace, there would be a lot of noise and great risks.
But at this time, several people had already left the palace, and the secret passage was an excellent place for an ambush, so Xiao Cheng had to be on guard.
Seeing that Nan Rongshu did not resist, Xiao Cheng casually moved back a little, using pure finger strength, Ling'er groaned, and then regained the ability to move.
Seeing that her master fell into Xiao Cheng's hands, Ling'er's face was anxious and anxious. She reached out and pulled out the hairpin from her hair, staring at Xiao Cheng.
Nan Rongshu's face became paler and she said in a low voice:
"It's okay, you stay here first!"
Ling'er looked ugly, but first she didn't dare to disobey Nan Rongshu's order, and secondly she was afraid that Nan Rongshu was still in Xiao Cheng's hands, so she had to grit her teeth and stop where she was.
Xiao Cheng winked at Ling'er frivolously, and then followed Nan Rongshu out of the secret passage.
Behind the secret passage iron door is a room. The secret passage is connected to this room, and the exit of the secret passage is in the wardrobe in the house.
There was no one in the house, the furnishings were ordinary, and it was no different from an ordinary home.
However, it was different from what Xiao Cheng originally thought, a scene of elite masters ambushing him.
Xiao Cheng sensed it and confirmed again and again that no one was ambushing here, but he couldn't help but look at Nan Rongshu and said in shock:
"You didn't prepare for an ambush?"
Nan Rongshu slowly sat on the bed in the room, panted slightly, first sneered twice, and then said slightly weakly:
"Haha, you are trying to predict me with a villain's heart. Naturally, you will think that I will ambush and attack you."
"Come on, am I still a villain? If you hadn't suddenly tried to kill me before, would I have been so guarded against you!" Xiao Cheng rolled his eyes.
Nan Rongshu pursed her lips, shook her head and said:
"After all, we have been involved in many years of planning, and your origins are unknown. So before, I thought it would be most appropriate to kill you rather than cooperate."
"Why don't you want to kill me now? Now that I not only know the layout of your Xiyi Palace, but also the secret passage, shouldn't it be more appropriate to kill me?" Xiao Cheng asked with interest.
Nan Rongshu sneered and said:
"You are a brave and careful person, I don't think you will be unprepared... Moreover, the noise is too big this time, the Taishi Mansion will definitely not give up, and will definitely intensify the search. I need you
The people in the Forbidden Army helped me cover up the anomalies in Xiyi Palace. So it is necessary to cooperate with you now!"
Although the Forbidden Army token in Xiao Cheng's hand was fake, Nan Rongshu also knew very well that if he could fool the Forbidden Army members so easily, the fake token in his hand must have been carefully copied from the real one.
The fact that Xiao Cheng was able to obtain the real token is worth pondering.
When Xiao Cheng heard her explanation, he looked at Nan Rongshu in surprise.
I thought he was a fool, but he turned out to be quite smart when he should be smart!
Nan Rongshu frowned and said with an unhappy look:
"Why do you look so surprised!"
Xiao Cheng blinked his eyes, changed the subject calmly, and said:
"Okay, that's a smart choice! Before we get rid of Wang Xiao, it's easy for you and me to cooperate. If anyone here has the intention of doing harm, he will definitely die a good death!"
While speaking, Xiao Cheng stretched out his right palm.
Nan Rongshu snorted coldly, reached out and tapped Xiao Cheng's palms, and said firmly:
"If you have the intention to do harm here, you will not die well!"
Xiao Cheng nodded with satisfaction and stood up to leave.
At this time, Nan Rongshu suddenly stopped him and said:
"Since we are cooperating, we should be more open and honest so that we can trust each other more!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he paused, turned around and said with a smile:
"Better say goodbye!"
Nan Rongshu shook her head and said:
"That's not fair. You know a lot about our clan, but I don't have any information about you or the forces behind you."
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but refute, saying:
"Hey, you are wrong about this. I got this information myself, and you did not give it to me! I know the layout of your Xiyi Palace, and you know that I have people in the Imperial Army. I will often need this in the future.
There is a secret passage out of the palace, and you also need my help. I can help cover it up under the imperial army's search, so it's considered even."
Having said this, Xiao Cheng paused and spoke again, saying:
"We have joined forces now because we have to deal with Wang Xiao. In the future, we can't say whether we are enemies or friends. We don't need to have too deep communication!"
Hearing this, Nan Rongshu pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and said again:
"You have to know what your name is, right?"
Xiao Cheng waved his hand and said casually:
"Duan Siping!"
"Fake name?"
"Otherwise, it will make your name in the palace seem real." Xiao Cheng rolled his eyes and said matter-of-factly.
Nan Rongshu immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking.
This room should be in a market somewhere. At this time, the sky was already dark and bright, and the sounds of vendors selling goods could be clearly heard in the room.
"Oh, it took too long, I have to go back to the palace today!" Xiao Cheng opened the door to a crack, looked at the sky outside, and shook his head.
"Well, the palace is now conducting strict searches. If no one takes your place, it's time to go back!" Nan Rongshu nodded.
Xiao Cheng suddenly turned his head and said with a smile:
"Give me your sachet of medicine!"
Nan Rongshu was stunned for a moment and looked at the [Xingbo Pouch] on her waist, with a look of reluctance visible to the naked eye on her face.
If it is worthy of being called a treasure, no matter how effective it is, at least it should look precious!
Nan Rongshu looked pained, casually took off the [Xingbo Pouch] from her waist, threw it over, gritted her teeth and said:
"To return the favor to you...I don't owe you anything anymore!"
Xiao Cheng stretched out his two fingers to pinch the thrown [Star Treasure Bag], and looked at the two sons with the effect of the treasure, narrowing his eyes and showing a hint of a bad smile.
