Chapter 42

Taking the two of them back to Xiao's mansion, Xiao Sesu specially chose the way to the small gate, which was specially used by Xiao's mansion to transport the dead, and very few people would come in and out usually.

Xiao Sesu and He Huan walked in through the small door with no fear.

Two guards from King Jin's Mansion followed here, stopped in front of the door and watched, one of them said solemnly: "These two seem to be servants of Xiao Mansion, should we continue to follow?"

The other person thought for a while and said, "It's better not to rush in. This is Prime Minister You's mansion after all. You go to the main gate and wait. I'll stay here. Whoever waits for the princess first will sound the whistle."

"Okay." The two reached an agreement and parted ways.

Inside Xiao's mansion, Xiao Sesel walked ahead with a smile, choosing the remote and difficult paths, avoiding the servants and maidservants of Xiao's mansion.

As she was walking, she turned her head and smirked at He Fear, and when she saw He Fear gestured to her, she knew that the guards of King Jin's Mansion were far away from them, and they were all safe.

"A Huan, don't pretend any more, let's discuss business with Miss Biao."

He feared that he had removed his disguise, his face was gloomy, his voice was hoarse and low, and he was dressed in a coarse cloth and short brown, which could not conceal the murderous spirit of a dead soldier exuding from the inside out.

He Huan said "Ah?", this party came to his senses, scratched his ears, and said apologetically, "Miss Biao, I'm sorry, I'm an honest person, many times my elder brother didn't remind me, I wouldn't have thought so much."

Xiao Sesel smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I always feel that being a person is a rare good quality. Tell me about this time you took the risk to find me, is there any progress in what I entrusted to you?"

He Huan said: "Yes, Miss Biao, we are here to tell you the good news. These days, my eldest brother and I have been inquiring in the black market, and finally contacted a person who can disguise through a black market dealer. The person's disguise His facial features are quite superb, and Miss Biao has probably heard of his fame."

"And a name?"

Xiao Sesu knew in her heart that no one with a reputation in the Jianghu was an ordinary person. In the past in the Zhang family, because of Zhang Yifan's admiration for martial arts, she had told her many strange things about people in the Jianghu.

He Fear said: "That man's surname is Lu Mingchong, and he is known as Liuyun Swordsman in Jianghu."

"Swordsman Liuyun, Lu Chong..." Xiao Sesu murmured.

She had really heard about this person from Zhang Yifan.

Yifan once said that there is a Feihong Villa in another country, and the owner of the villa is a chivalrous bandit who roams all over the country and provinces.

It is said that Liuyun swordsman Lu Chong and the owner of the villa are worshipers, so they have learned the ever-changing true skills. It is also heard that the swords of both of them are from the same swordsmith, a "Liuyun Benhe" Sword", also known as "Purple Electric Sweeping Wind Sword".

He Huan said: "People from the Jianghu usually don't come to cities like Shunjing to stay for a long time, but the hero Lu Chong is visiting friends in Shunjing recently, and he won't leave in a short time. Brother has already asked the black market merchants to help us Go and discuss with him the time to meet, and as soon as the time comes out, my elder brother and I will immediately send a letter to Miss Biao."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Xiao Sesu nodded, with a grateful Jingmei smile on the corner of her lips, "After receiving your notice, I will find a way to get out of Prince Jin's mansion, and you need to worry about contacting the black market."

"Don't worry, Ms. Biao, we will definitely get it done!" He Huan smiled brilliantly.

He fear also said: "Miss Biao, please rest assured. For the sake of confidentiality, the two of us will go back first."

"Wait." Xiao Sesu stopped He fear, "Don't go, I'll go first."

"Eh? Miss Biao, you don't visit the third lady of the Xiao Mansion anymore?" He Huan scratched his ears.

Xiao Sesel chuckled: "I really want to see Third Sister, but in order to keep your whereabouts secret, it is not appropriate to stay in the Xiao Mansion for a long time. So I will go out first and take away the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion, and you can leave later."

He Wei pondered for a moment, and said: "There were only two guards following us just now, at most they could only guard the main entrance and the small gate of Xiao Mansion. A Huan and I can go out through the courtyard wall elsewhere without being discovered by them."

Xiao Sesel said: "Maybe Shanzong will send guards to guard outside, it is better to keep everything safe. Neither my identity nor yours can be revealed, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble."

"Miss Biao said yes." He fear nodded, and felt sorry for Xiao Sesel, "Miss Biao can't visit my sister, I'm a little sorry."

"It's okay, and next time, Yu Wangyan promised me to find time to return home, he will definitely keep his word." Xiao Sesel smiled, "He Huan, why not be afraid, I will go out first, you are secretly After waiting for a quarter of an hour, you can climb out through the courtyard wall over there, be careful all the way."

He Shu cupped his hands, "Miss Cousin, wait for our news."

"Well, take care."

Xiao Sesu brushed off the residual leaves that fell on his shoulders, turned and left.

Slipping back to the small gate along the path, Xiao Sesu saw that there was no one around, so he hurriedly stepped out of the threshold.

The guard outside the door was the guard of Prince Jin's Mansion. He bowed to Xiao Sesel, Xiao Sesel smiled foolishly, and clapped his hands to go home.

The guard immediately blew his whistle and called another person back, and the two escorted Xiao Sesu back to Prince Jin's mansion.

At the beginning of noon, Xiao Sesu ran into Yu Wangyan who was returning home at the gate of the palace.

Yu Wangyan stared at Xiao Seshu for a moment, and beckoned her to come over.

"My lord." Xiao Sesu came to him.

"Where have you been?"

"I'm going home, and I'll follow Little Five and Little Six."

"Meet your third sister?"

"seen."

"Is she okay?"

"is acceptable."

Yu Wangyan responded, and stopped asking. Seeing the tranquility of Xiao Sesu's face and the looming bitterness, he said in a low voice: "Staying in the mansion all the time, you are also bored. But because of the assassination some time ago, this king really I don't want you to go out alone."

Xiao Sesu nodded silently, his life was indeed hot, but fortunately, Concubine Shi and Huang Ying were dead, so they could calm down for a while.

"Let's do this." Yu Wangyan said: "If you want to leave the mansion in the future, just tell me that I try to spare time to accompany you. If you can't, I will order Shanzong and the others to follow you to protect them. Those who assassinated This king will not allow it to happen again."

"My lord..." Xiao Sesel smiled, thought for a while and asked, "My lord, later... Zhang Taifu and Yifan..."

"They're fine." Yu Wangyan replied, "The King has arranged for guards to closely protect Zhang Yifan. But you didn't see Zhang Jinlan today, so the King of Japan invites her to come over."

"Thank you, my lord." Xiao Sesu smiled, carefully took Yu Wangyan's hand, and entered the mansion together.

Back in the yard, just in time for Luyi to wipe the utensils.

Xiao Sesu lay on the soft chair to rest, Luyi put down the three-color glaze vase, and hurriedly said: "Miss, you didn't know if you went out today, those side concubines and concubines who just stopped came to our yard again today I said the young lady was not here, but they didn't believe me, so they insisted on barging in for a long time. They went too far, what are they thinking!"

Xiao Sesu murmured: "Concubine Shi is just the beginning, and there may be many obstacles waiting for us in the future."

"Ah? Then tell the prince quickly!" Lu Yi threw down the rag and ran away.

"Lu Yi, don't go." Xiao Sesu sat up straight, "Don't tell the prince."

"Why! Miss, you are the concubine, why are you being bullied by those people! Luyi wants to ask the prince to make the decision for the lady!"

"Lu Yi, calm down, the prince's situation is not better than ours. So I will do my best to deal with more open and dark arrows for the prince, both to share and to protect."

Luyi was stunned, staring at Xiao Sesel, and then exclaimed in surprise: "Miss, you! Are you not stupid? You just said that!"

"It's startled, the voice is quieter." Xiao Sesel said with a helpless smile: "Playing stupid can still protect myself and you, so I will continue to play stupid. If one day, a fool can no longer cope with the wind and waves, no matter how smart I become Not too late."

Lu Yi covered her mouth in surprise, and said after a while: "Miss, Lu Yi really didn't realize that you are..."

"Okay, it's good to know, don't yell and let others listen."

"Ah? Okay, okay, don't say anything about Luyi, even if you beat him to death!"

Xiao Sesu shook his head and laughed.This girl is very clever when she is clever, why is she so stupid when she is stupid?
In the back lake of Prince Jin's Mansion, the moon is covered by clouds at noon, and the lakeside is misty with mist.

Here, Shanzong found Yu Wangyan standing with his hands behind his back. His smoky Shu brocade was filled with some wind, gently undulating, and blended with the distant water and sky.

The willow branches that have not yet sprouted hang down on the shoulders, soft and tough, Yu Wangyan felt Shanzong's approach, and turned to look at him.

"My lord, why did you allow the princess to leave the palace?" Shan Zong asked.

Yu Wangyan said: "Let her out, so that we can better investigate her details."

"That's what I said, it's just that the guards are afraid that they won't be able to protect the princess."

"People under this king, if they make a mistake once, can they make a second mistake?" Yu Wangyan said: "If it doesn't work, send more people to protect her safety."

"Yes." Shan Zong arched his hands, and said thoughtfully: "Does the prince think that the princess is a bit too strange?"

"What do you think?"

Shan Zong answered truthfully: "I didn't know the princess and the Xiao family before, so I can't see any clues. I just intuitively feel that the princess is not just the daughter of the Xiao family."

"Perhaps." Yu Wangyan didn't have too much mood to guess and associate, especially when he thought of the familiar eyes that Xiao Sesu occasionally showed, Yu Wangyan was like a snail that was touched, and quickly returned to the shell, not daring to think about it again. go down.

"Shanzong, tomorrow is the last day of the first lunar month."

"Yes, is your lord going to fast for sacrifices?" Shan Zong asked.

"Well, fasting ceremony." Yu Wangyan's tone was full of bitterness.

Shan Zong arched his hands, "Then I will go down first, there is one more thing before this." He straightened up and said: "I have been investigating the person who used the Xinghua Wuying Needle through the black market these days, and I accidentally found something else. Harvest, I will tell the prince when I am sure."

Yu Wangyan warned: "Remember to be careful."

"clear."
