Chapter 44

Xiao Sesu said to Lu Yi: "I'm going out tomorrow morning, you stay here and watch, don't let anyone enter the house."

"Ah? Miss, what are you going to do? Why don't you let Lu Yi accompany you?"

"You stay, I'll be fine."

"Miss……"

"Leave."

Lu Yi couldn't resist, so she had to agree.

At Chenshi the next day, Yu Wangyan went to court, Xiao Sesu dressed up as Luyi, put on a cloak, and was delivered to the gate of the yard by Luyi dressed as her.

The guards of the palace ambushing in the courtyard didn't recognize Xiao Sesel, so they didn't gather together to escort her, but came out alone and followed her not too far or too close.

Xiao Sesu walked out of Prince Jin's mansion quickly.

Because she was dressed as Lu Yi, Xiao Sesu didn't worry about the assassination, but just to be on the safe side, she still lowered her head and carefully went to the old alley in the south of the city, thinking about how to get rid of the guards behind her.

The old alley in the south of the city is the oldest commercial street in Shunjing, full of people and bustling.

Xiao Sesu followed the crowds into the streets, deliberately humming the tune of "Accompanying Gu", pretending to look at the jewelry sachets at the stalls, waiting for He Huan and He Ji to find her.

He fear is a seasoned man, gave He Huan some instructions, then ran into the alley, came to Xiao Sesel's vicinity, and deliberately bumped into Xiao Sesel's body.

"Ouch!" Xiao Sesu was shaken by the bump.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He fear hurriedly supported her, "Girl, are you okay? I didn't look at the road just now."

"Why don't you look at the road?" Xiao Sesu said aggrievedly, "You hurt me so much, you bully!"

"Miss, I'm sorry, I was wrong." He feared again and again, "How about I invite the girl to the teahouse for a cup of tea."

"Drink tea?" Xiao Sesu clapped his hands, "Okay, drink tea, your treat!"

"Yes, this way please, girl."

Seeing this, the palace guards immediately came over to chase He Wei away, but suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "Catch the thief! My purse has been taken out, catch the thief!"

Before the guards could take another two steps, a thief rushed over, knocking everyone around him to pieces.The thief was He Huan, who slipped the stolen purse to the guard's waist and ran away immediately.The owner of the purse chased after him, pointed at the guards and cursed, "You shameless thief, you dare to steal my purse, come on, let's catch him together!"

The guard was puzzled, looked down and saw how there was an extra money bag on his waist, who stuffed it for him, why didn't he notice it?

People around rushed towards the guards, shouting to catch the thief.The guards were hard to beat with two fists and four hands, and it was difficult to escape under the siege of the crowd. The streets were in chaos, and some people rushed to report to the officials.

As for Xiao Sesu and He Wei, they had already sneaked into the teahouse next to them, watching the guests in the teahouse turn around one after another, and ran to the street to join in the fun.

"Why are you afraid, is there news about Liuyun swordsman Lu Chong?" Xiao Sesu asked.

He Wei replied: "He is in the private room on the second floor, please ask Miss Biao to follow me upstairs."

Xiao Sesu held on to the handle of the stairs and went upstairs, and He Ji led her to the private room.

Behind a black and bamboo painting screen, Xiao Sesu saw the all-powerful Liuyun swordsman.

He stood by the window, as if watching the farce of catching thieves on the street with relish, then turned half of his face to the side, looking at He fear and Xiao Sesue.

"Hero Lu, this is our master." He fear handed over.

Xiao Sesu took off the cap of his cloak, looked at Lu Chong expressionlessly.

This man is strong and capable, with narrow sleeves and strong clothes, with a sharp aura, as tall and straight as a juniper tree.

He wore a mask on his face, his thin lips were slightly raised under the mask, and his eyes had a strong sense of exploration, lingering on his bleak face.

Xiao Sesu walked towards him, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Swordsman Liuyun, I have admired you for a long time, but why don't you show your true colors?"

Lu Chong had a half-smile: "It's like this even in the mundane world."

"Since it's a habit, then I won't force others to make things difficult for me. Please sit down."

"The girl is refreshing."

The two sat down, and a large pot of tea was already placed on the tea table. He feared to pour tea for the two of them, and then stood behind Xiao Sesel.

"Drink some too." Xiao Sesu found another cup from under the table, and poured He Ji a cup of tea.

"Young lady is very polite and virtuous." Lu Chong said.

Xiao Sesel said, "He's not a corporal, but an older brother of mine. I don't have much time, so I'll make a long story short with you. I want to learn disguise, so please make a price."

Lu Chongdao: "10 taels."

Xiao Sesu was taken aback.

"Gold." Lu Chong drank his tea.

Xiao Se said coldly: "Daxia Lu, I'm not joking with you."

"I'm not kidding either."

He Shu immediately drew out half of his sword, and the cool sword light was reflected on Lu Chong's teacup, but Lu Chong ignored it and sipped the tea carefully.

"10 taels of gold, the same price, if you can't make a deal, please find another master."

He feared a gloomy face, "Could it be that Mr. Lu looks down on me and other worldly people?"

"How could it be?" Lu Chong said with a smile, "I'm just asking for the price according to the reason. The disguise technique taught to me by my righteous sister, there is no reason to pass it on to strangers at a low price."

He fear slowly pulled out the sword, his eyes were gloomy and fierce, and his momentum was incomparable.

Lu Chong looked at He fear, and said, "Dead man."

"You know?" He fear asked in a deep voice.

Lu Chong replied: "When you make a move, you can see the posture of blood sealing your throat. If you are not a dead man, what else can it be?"

Xiao Sesu chuckled: "As expected of Liuyun Swordsman, even his eyes are so sharp."

"So?" Lu Chong smiled, "Do you not accept this price?"

"10 taels of gold, I really can't get it out." Xiao Sesu took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, "But I think Mr. Lu should have some conditions, so he can make an exception once."

"Conditions..." Lu Chong said with a smile: "Please tell me first, the reason why you want to learn the disguise technique."

"I want to sneak into the Prince's Mansion."

Hearing this, He feared to get close to Xiao Sesur, and said worriedly, "Just tell him that?"

"It's okay, tell him." Xiao Sesel gave He Ji a small smile, and said to Lu Chong: "My friend was cheated by the prince when he was alive, and that thing is very important to her. I want to sneak into the prince's mansion and help her get it." return."

Lu Chong was shocked.

Xiao Sesel said: "This is my reason, just to get back my friend's belongings, can Daxia Lu make an exception?"

Lu Chongruo was thoughtful, the dark light in his eyes made it impossible to see the mystery, and the corners of his lips were raised, as if he was smiling, "The disguise technique that my righteous sister taught me, in any case, there is no reason to teach it casually, but if you Promise on the next condition, I don’t need to charge money, and you can change your appearance for free.”

"What condition?" Xiao Sesu secretly rejoiced.

Lu Chongdao: "Take me with you and go to the Prince's Mansion together. I will see you take out the things of your dead friend with my own eyes, and make sure I am not deceived by you."

He Fear's face was extremely dark, and he said in a deep voice: "If Daxia Lu has evil intentions, the sword of a dead warrior will not have eyes."

Lu Chong said with a smile: "I'm just making a request, it's up to you whether you agree or not."

"Okay." Xiao Sesu pressed He fear's hand, then looked at Lu Chong.

"Give me some time, I need to think it through."

"How long?" Lu Chonghao asked leisurely.

"At least three days, as many as seven days." Xiao Sesel said: "When I think about it, I will let He Shi contact you."

"Yes." Lu Chong said with a smile: "I will stay in Shunjing for a while, even if seven days are not enough to think about it, it's okay. I'm waiting for this... Brother Hewei."

He fear cupped his hands, his gloomy demeanor and Lu Chong's sharp smile were like two invisible forces secretly competing.

When Xiao Sesu left the teahouse, the streets were still chaotic, and the guard of Prince Jin’s Mansion was still surrounded by the people to justify his breakout. From a distance, he could see the officials from Shunjing Mansion coming on horseback. Xiao Sese put on his cloak and bowed his head in a hurry Go back to King Jin's mansion.

And the guard, after seeing the official, showed the badge of King Jin's Mansion, and then he explained clearly and was able to escape.

Now that Xiao Sesel could not be found on the street, the guard was anxious and searched around, thinking whether to continue searching or to report back to the mansion, but he was very thirsty for a while, showing an unbearable expression.

"Have a cup of tea."

Someone handed him a bowl of tea, the guard was taken aback, looked at Shan Zong who appeared in front of him, and hurriedly said: "Lord Shan Zong, something happened suddenly, I followed Miss Luyi and lost it."

"Go home." Shan Zong turned around and left.

"But Lord Shanzong, Miss Luyi still..."

"That's not Miss Luyi." Shan Zong said with a smile: "You have been plotted against, and you have time to think slowly. This matter is over for now, and I will tell the rest to the prince, you go back and watch the courtyard of the princess. .”

The guard was baffled, but what Shanzong said was an order, so the guard stopped asking.

Not even the first moment.

The originally clear sky turned cloudy again, with drizzle falling.

During this time, it seems to be raining a lot.

In the back lake of King Jin's Mansion, a few carps jumped out of the ice, passed by the mountain sect on the shore, and walked towards the hidden mourning hall.

During these few days in February, Yu Wangyan always accompanied Zhang Jinse in the mourning hall.

Those who knew the rules in Prince Jin's mansion would not step into this mourning hall, and Shanzong was no exception, waiting silently in Fenglin.

Thinking of their bleak concubine, Shan Zong seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Flowing Cloud Swordsman Lu Chong, the word "Chong" split in half is "Shan Zong", Shan Zong thought, if the princess knew that he was the one who asked for 10 taels of gold, what expression would she have?

Not long after, Yu Wangyan left the mourning hall and came to Fenglin.

Shanzong went up to meet him and cupped his hands.

"My lord, I have something important to tell you."

"Speak." Yu Wangyan stood with his hands behind his back.

Shan Zongdao: "A few days ago, I mentioned it to the prince. During the process of investigating the black market, I found some unexpected gains. I found that someone wanted to contact people who can disguise. Today I met with them and their master. Does your lord know who it is?"

Yu Wangyan's eyes darkened.

"It's the princess."

"Desolate?"

"It's her. I couldn't believe it at first." Shan Zong said, "Fortunately, I haven't used Lu Chong's identity since I returned to Shunjing. be noticed."

Yu Wangyan's brows were clouded, and he said, "One five ten, tell this king."

"Yes." Shan Zong cupped his hands, and then told Yu Wangyan everything.
