He continued walking along the path and vaguely saw a person in front of him who was busy, quietly wiping the tables and chairs carved out of ice. It was the woman who had just come in.
Sima Xichen wondered where Fan Ye had fallen and why he hadn't been found? The place here didn't look too big. If he had fallen into it, he would have been discovered by this woman. But judging from this person's behavior, he should have been found.
Fan Ye was not found.
Sima Xichen gently touched the woman's acupuncture points and watched quietly as the woman lay quietly on the ground. The martial arts of these two women were not weak, but in front of him, they were really nothing to mention. Li Qiang chose these people in the first place.
He must have put a lot of thought into it. However, they have been sticking to this place and taking care of it conscientiously. Naturally, they have neglected their own martial arts. Not to mention his proud martial arts, it is too easy to deal with them.
Already.
But where is Fan Ye?
Sima Xichen first looked around at the layout of this place. The layout here was no different from the layout of the residence where he lived with his mother when he was a child. He checked room by room according to his childhood memories, and finally found something in a remote corner.
Fan Ye.
Fan Ye was injured and fell unconscious.
He must not have been careful when he fell. In addition, he used his true strength when he broke free from Sima Xichen's hand. Therefore, he must not be able to control the falling speed when he fell. It was very slippery here, so it was easy to fall. It was probably because he didn't fall just now.
I bumped into it carefully and was knocked unconscious.
"Fan Ye." Sima Xichen called softly. He saw blood marks on the corners of Fan Ye's lips, as if he had suffered internal injuries. After a slight hesitation, he gently took off the mask on Fan Ye's face.
The mask on Fan Ye's face is as thin as a cicada. After taking it off, it is almost the size of a small peanut in his hand. The workmanship is extremely exquisite. Behind the mask is a delicate and pale face, with his eyes closed and beautiful.
His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and there was a faint trace of blood on his lips. It looked like he had been hit hard. He suddenly remembered why the familiar scent was there.
When he was at Aolin Villa, when he returned from Wu Huai's barracks surrounding Aolin Villa and found Ye Fan in the bookstore, she had this faint and extremely comfortable fragrance on her body, which seemed to be there but not at all.
However, it was always scheming, so the chatter and laughter were just a play, and I didn't really take it to heart. However, I remembered the faint fragrance unknowingly. No wonder I have always been obsessed with this Fan Ye.
Something is indescribably familiar.
However, I didn't expect that Ye Fan would have such outstanding martial arts skills!
At the beginning, Sima Xichen was suspicious of Fan Ye, but he did not think about Ye Fan. He always felt that Ye Fan was just a decent rich lady, and it was unspeakably unbearable to use her as a hostage. However,
After Ye Fan and Jiao He disappeared together, Sima Xichen began to suspect that Ye Fan and Fan Ye must be related, but he only suspected that they were secretly communicating, and did not expect that they could be the same person.
That's fine. With Ye Fan's skills, if he wants to survive well, it shouldn't be difficult. Moreover, she is so smart. As long as she doesn't need to be used anymore, there are actually many ways to kill the emperor, and it doesn't necessarily have to be.
If she comes forward, she should have a good future.
Ye Fan slowly woke up, looked around subconsciously, and vaguely saw that this was a clean ice kiln, with thousands of years of ice everywhere. Staying inside, he felt a bit chilly, and he was covered with a thick coat.
cloak, lying on a bed of ice.
Where is this? Why is she here?
"Are you awake?" Sima Xichen smiled and said gently, "I didn't expect Miss Ye to have such good skills. I really made a mistake. I was just thinking about who this Mr. Fan is. He has outstanding martial arts and intelligence.
Calm down, it turns out you were the one pretending to be one. With such good disguise skills, it’s no wonder we didn’t find you and Jiao He along the way.”
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched his face, only to realize that the mask on his face was no longer there. Knowing that Sima Xichen already knew that he was pretending to be Fan Ye, he no longer concealed it, and said calmly: "I just said
Did you faint? It's very slippery here. When you fell, you couldn't find a place to hold on, so you fell to the bottom and hit the wall. Thank you for saving me. Can you return the mask to me?"
"Of course." Sima Xichen said with a smile, "It's just that, Miss Ye, you have taken advantage of me several times, and I have called you Brother Fan several times. How do you calculate this loss?"
Ye Fan smiled, feeling a little tight in his chest, and said softly: "Although you call me that, I have never agreed. I have already said before, why bother about who Fan Ye is, just treat him as a non-existent person.
Well, you haven’t heard it yourself.”
"Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Sima Xichen asked softly, "Your back hit the ice wall. I have opened the blocked acupuncture points for you, but you still feel pain and chest tightness for a while. Just now
I took the medicine for you, the medicine from Baidumen is absolutely unparalleled in the world, you won’t feel this discomfort after you rest for a while.”
Ye Fan nodded and asked softly: "Why are you down here? It's very closed here. How do you get out?" She didn't dare to speak loudly. She felt pain in her chest when her voice was louder, so she had to speak softly.
He asked slowly, his brows still slightly furrowed.
Sima Xichen said calmly: "Since you have come, you should be safe. Since you can get in, you should be able to get out. I just came in with a slave who was cleaning this place. It turns out that Li Qiang had tampered with the portrait. Only
Only women can enter. If it is a man, even if he is unrivaled in martial arts, he will not be able to open the mechanism here. Having said that, I have to admire this Li Qiang. His plan is really meticulous. He took it from my father's hands.
The world cannot be said to be incompetent."
Ye Fan took a breath and said softly: "Where is that slave now? You should ask her how to get out. Don't waste your life here. Not to mention anything else, your mother is still in the thousand-year ice.
It's frozen in the middle, so you can't waste time here."
Sima Xichen nodded, "I have my own sense of caution. However, you are currently seriously injured and cannot act easily. Now that you have come in, let's take a rest for now. There is no rush. At this moment, the slave is still unconscious. Wait.
It's not too late for me to go over and ask you when you can walk. These people are all loyal to Li Qiang. If they are not careful, they will commit suicide by taking poison. You don't need to pay attention to her at this time. You can have a good rest and don't worry.
