Xian'er sighed: "Ksitigarbha must have deep feelings for that person, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
Qi Ning nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Ksitigarbha sent you to sneak into the capital to secretly assist Xiao Shaozong. Why did she do this? Since she is looking for a panacea, why is she involved with Xiao Shaozong?"
"Two years ago, Yanmo and I were ordered by Ksitigarbha to come to the capital." Xian'er said: "At that time, I didn't know why Ksitigarbha would send us to lurk in the capital, but Ksitigarbha's instructions were to obey Yanmo's orders in everything. Just the instructions. As for the rest, I knew nothing at the time." After a pause, he continued: "Yanmo secretly communicated with Xiao Shaozong, and I knew nothing about it, but Yanmo later told me that Ksitigarbha asked us to I came to Beijing to find a treasure. That treasure is very important to Ksitigarbha, and I must get it no matter what the cost."
"Are you talking about the Phoenix Piano?"
Xian'er was startled and said, "Does the Marquis already know?"
"I just found out about it not long ago." Qi Ning sighed: "Of course you don't know why Ksitigarbha insists on getting the Phoenix Qin."
Xian'er nodded and said: "I'm afraid that Yanmo doesn't know what the purpose of the Phoenix Qin is. Yanmo said that the Phoenix Qin should be hidden in the Chu Kingdom Palace. We can't act too hastily. We can only slowly look for opportunities." He paused. After a pause, he said: "He said that in addition to looking for the Phoenix Qin, he also wanted to assist a nobleman with something. He asked me to help find out the information, and the place with the best information is at the Qinhuai River."
Qining suddenly realized: "So you appeared in the Qinhuai River at the Oiran Conference?"
"Yanmo arranged everything very well and fabricated my origins. Even if someone investigates, there will be no flaws." Xian'er said quietly: "Originally, I followed his instructions to interact with dignitaries on the Qinhuai River. They asked for information, but...!" His cheeks were slightly red and he lowered his head.
Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said: "But the first one to take the bait was me, the noble prince in brocade."
"Actually... In fact, after Xian'er knew the identity of the Marquis, she also... also thought that since the Marquis has a noble status, he will definitely be able to get a lot of information from you." Xian'er said with a hint of apology.
Qi Ning said: "Then Xian'er stayed with me later to get information from me?"
"No." Xian'er shook her head and said shyly: "Xian'er has seen many ugly faces in those years. That day... that day the Marquis got on my boat, I... I thought the Marquis would be as anxious as those ugly men. Can't wait, but...!" Her cheeks turned red, obviously recalling the scene that day.
Qi Ning also thought about the situation that night. He seemed to be polite and not too rude.
"Of course the Marquis remembers that there was an attack that night, and Xian'er fell asleep after his acupuncture points were tapped." Xian'er bit her lips before saying softly: "Actually, Xian'er was awake all the time. When the Marquis left, he was polite to me. Youjia, there was nothing frivolous about it, and... and he even thoughtfully covered me with the quilt, at that time... at that time...!" Without continuing, Qi Ning knew that Xian'er must have treated him because of his actions. I had feelings for her, and I thought to myself, it's not that I don't like beauty, it's just that I couldn't take advantage of others' danger at the time.
"If I really... really had a plan for you that night, what should you do?" Qining sighed.
Xian'er smiled tenderly and said: "Xian'er has learned a skill that can make a man feel that he has a physical connection with me, but in fact nothing happened. If Mr. Hou really wanted to have sex with Xian'er that night... Skin-to-skin contact, Xian'er has no choice but to take action."
Qi Ning was startled and asked in surprise: "Xian'er still has such skill?" He secretly thought that it must be a kind of magic skill. Hua Xiangrong, the treasure goddess, seems to be proficient in illusion skills. It seems that Xian'er also has this ability.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt relieved. If I had not interacted with Xian'er that night, but other men had boarded the ship, and Xian'er had been sent away from then on, those men themselves would have plotted against Xian'er's beauty, no matter what. It might be as simple as getting on the boat and listening to the music. Xian'er could only use illusions to make those men think they had succeeded, but in fact nothing happened.
Seeing that Xian'er's face was a little pale, and thinking that she was still injured, she said softly: "Xian'er, don't talk anymore, have a good rest, I...!"
"Master Hou, are you leaving?" Xian'er grabbed Qining's wrist and said pitifully.
Qi Ning said with a smile: "If you don't leave, I will stay with you here. Once the twelve hours are up, I won't be able to accompany you. There is still the last time, so I will naturally stay by your side."
"Xian'er's injury doesn't matter." Xian'er said, "Xian'er just wants to talk to Mr. Hou more."
Qi Ning nodded and asked softly: "Does Xian'er know that Ksitigarbha's wife, who transformed into Lu Shanghe, has been in Xichuan?"
Xian'er shook her head and said quietly: "We have rarely seen Ksitigarbha in recent years, and we don't know where she is. The Lu Shanghe you mentioned, Xian'er has heard of this person's name, but doesn't know him well."
"So, Xian'er doesn't know about the affairs of the Donghai family?" Qining said: "The angel photographer has always been in Donghai, so he is naturally sent by Ksitigarbha."
"The Angel Photographer is in the East China Sea?" Where to go, I didn’t see him in the palace until not long ago, I thought he was always in the palace.”
Qi Ning thought to himself that it seems that the six Ksitigarbha envoys under Ksitigarbha have their own missions, and none of them know what the other's mission is. Only Yanmo, who is the leader of the six Ksitigarbha envoys, knows more about the hidden secrets. .
"Is Ksitigarbha now in the capital?" Qining finally asked.
Xian'er shook his head and said: "Yanmo said that Ksitigarbha had important matters and was not in the capital. He also said that Xiao Shaozong has taken control of the capital. As long as we get rid of you, Xiao Shaozong can ascend the throne and become emperor, and our mission will be completed. .”
"It seems that Ksitigarbha really asked you to assist Xiao Shaozong to ascend the throne." Qi Ning looked solemn: "Almost all your six envoys are helping Xiao Shaozong. Ksitigarbha is working so hard, so what is the relationship between Xiao Shaozong and her?"
"I only found out not long ago that we were going to help Xiao Shaozong ascend the throne, but why is this so? Yanmo only said it was Ksitigarbha's order." This time... this time for Xiao Shaozong to successfully ascend the throne, the two of them even risked their lives...!" But he did not continue.
Qi Ning also sighed: "They and I are incompatible with each other. Either you die or I die."
"I understand." Xian'er said quietly: "If Ksitigarbha knows that you killed them, in the future...!" There was a trace of worry between his eyebrows.
Qi Ning smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that not only Yanmo and Shetian, but also the boy holding the treasure and the powerful messenger were killed by him. Ksitigarbha had long regarded him as a thorn in his side. Even if he really escaped death this time, he would not be able to survive in the future. He was afraid that he would also be hunted down by Ksitigarbha. Thinking of Ksitigarbha's terrifying strength, Qining's scalp felt numb.
There are so many secrets about Ji Zang, not to mention who her true identity is. In addition, what is the connection between her and Xiao Shaozong is also puzzling. Also, who is the person Ji Zang wants to save? Which kind of immortal
The city was heavily besieged. Naturally, the people in the capital already knew that something bad was going on. The news that the imperial city was under siege had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. At this critical moment, the common people were afraid of causing disaster to Chiyu. Although it was a good day today and the sun was high. According to the photo, there is almost no one in the streets and alleys of the capital. Everyone is hiding at home and dare not step out of the door. All the gates of the capital are also closed, and entry and exit are strictly prohibited. However, even if the gates are not closed, they will not Someone will rush to the city gate.
The bustling capital of Dachu in the past was deathly silent today, with almost no sound audible.
Until dark, it was rare to see a single person on the street.
The Huainan Prince's Mansion can be said to be the largest mansion in the capital. Emperor Taizong and the previous emperors paid great attention to the Huainan Prince. The Huainan Prince's Mansion has also been expanded again and again. It has long been the most spacious residence in the capital. The original residences of the four hereditary princes were the same as those of the four hereditary princes. Compared to the Huainan Palace, it pales in comparison.
In the early years, this palace was crowded, and King Huainan often held banquets, which were full of guests and friends. However, after the Imperial Mausoleum Incident, the Huainan Palace was raided, and the palace had long been neglected. At one time, only Xiao Shaozong was placed under house arrest, and around him There is only one doctor, Yuan Moli, who is always at his service.
There are always officers and soldiers guarding the palace near the Huainan Palace. The name is to protect the crown prince, but in fact it is to guard the palace.
After Xiao Shaozong became the king of Huainan, Xiao Zhang, the officers and soldiers around the palace had naturally evacuated, but Xiao Shaozong did not return to the palace, and the palace was now deserted. There was not a single person in the huge palace. Late at night, It's like a haunted house.
The palace was raided and all the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were confiscated, and even the tables, chairs and utensils in the palace were also swept away.
The king of Huainan had a very wide fiefdom, and he also received frequent rewards from the court. In addition, the king of Huainan sent people to secretly conduct business. The former king of Huainan was considered the richest businessman in the court, and this prince never treated him badly. Although the tables, chairs, and furniture are all made of high-quality wood, even the many utensils used for eating and drinking are also very valuable. Therefore, when Dou Kui led people to raid the palace, they confiscated all these things in the palace and resold them. , it was a fruitful harvest, but it also left the entire palace empty.
The gate of the palace was closed tightly. At dusk, there were several beggars wandering around the palace several times. After dark, countless figures emerged from the streets and alleys around the palace, all approaching the palace.
There was an empty alley behind the palace, and a group of people appeared at this time. They were all wearing coarse clothes. They were not very neat, but they were still clean. The first person was tall and thin, with sharp eyes, but he was a beggar. Elder Zhuque, who was helping, did not hold a staff this time, but a black wooden stick in his hand. A group of people followed Elder Zhuque, walking briskly, until they walked to the back door of the palace. Elder Zhuque raised his head and looked at the sky. , with a wave of his hand, two people immediately sprang out from behind, holding rope claws in their hands, and threw them to the top of the high wall. After the iron claws clasped the top of the wall, the two people grabbed the rope and climbed up the wall like dexterous monkeys. Then he jumped into the palace. Soon, the back door of the palace was opened. Elder Suzaku did not hesitate and rushed into the palace first.
