"Second brother, it's spring now. Take me out to play. Brother Xia, are you coming with us?"
Silly He 'er, this is Miss Xia." Yuan Shen was starting to doubt this person's eyes. He was actually able to recognize Xia Zihou as a man. But speaking of which, with her attire, those who didn't know better would definitely think that she was a man. They were too similar. Her thin figure and cold temperament.
"Miss Xia? Sister Xia, hehe, is Sister Xia going?”Su Qing stood at the side and looked at Xia Zihou thoughtfully. Her phoenix eyes were slightly raised and there was a smile at the corner of her eyes. She was elegant and charming, and she didn't know where she was.
"No." Xia Zihou clasped his hands behind his back. A gentle spring breeze blew past, causing a few strands of his black hair to flutter. Her eyes were like lead.
"Wu Shen, take He 'er with you. Big brother still has something to discuss with them.”They naturally understood the meaning behind his words. Since they were going, they had to prepare everything that needed to be prepared. Otherwise, they would end up empty-handed or lose more than they gain. That would be a wasted trip. Su Qing withdrew her gaze and looked at the few fresh fish swimming in the pavilion without explaining.
"Oh, Second Brother, let's go then. Third Prince, Sister Xia, we shall meet again. Oh right, Imperial Brother, Mother said that if you don't marry a concubine, she will throw an embroidered ball for you to find a wife.”Han Panhe held Han Yuanshen's hand and walked towards Han Che. Xia Zihou raised his eyebrows. Throwing embroidered balls to recruit a wife? She could almost imagine Han Che standing on the city gate tower and throwing embroidered balls at the beautiful women below.
"Follow me, we will leave tomorrow morning.”He glanced at Xia Zihou and suddenly had the urge to leave her here and not let her enter again. However, Xia Zihou didn't care about the look in his eyes. She followed the direction that the carriage had gone, but she never expected that he would hide such an important thing in the place where she was staying. He turned on the secret room's mechanism and walked in. There was a light every five steps and a luminous pearl every hundred steps. One wrong step on a long path could be fatal.
She looked inside carefully. There was only a long stone path and nothing else. The entire path seemed very quiet and indistinguishable. If she didn't recognize the Nine Zigzag Arrays Formation, she would have thought that this was a sign that they had lost their way and would have chosen to return the way they came. In the Nine Zigzag Arrays Formation, once they took a detour, they would die.
The three of them did not make a sound, but Su Qing kept glancing at her inadvertently. Even her footsteps were coordinated with hers. She raised her eyebrows in confusion. Su Qing didn't say anything and just did it.
The three of them walked for another fifteen minutes before they reached the end of the road. There was a box at the end, and Han Che placed Bai Yuxun in an empty concave wall. That place was probably originally used to put oil lamps. He put Xun Yi in and the door automatically opened to both sides. Han Che explained," That was just an illusion. If you don't understand the logic behind it, you can only wait for death."”
After walking in for about 15 minutes, another identical scene appeared above. Han Che walked over and placed Yuxun in the groove beside the box. The box opened automatically, revealing a parchment scroll inside. It was a sheepskin that was about the size of half a piece. He took a pen and paper and copied the parchment scroll before putting it back in.
"You can't take anything out of this Nine Zigzag Interlocking Formation. Fantastic." Su Qing nodded. No wonder there were so many heroes and martial arts masters who entered the Crown Prince's residence, but not a single one had succeeded. The Crown Prince's Residence was heavily guarded. The second reason was the Nine Winding Interlocking Formation. The third reason was that if one wanted to take the Fire Phoenix Lotus, they had to enter the mausoleum. Even if they obtained the map, it would be a lie if they couldn't enter the mausoleum or come out.
Xia Zihou also knew a little about formations, but he wasn't as proficient as Su Qing. The only one who was proficient in formations was probably Helian Xuan. Han Che nodded and smiled. "The Third Prince is indeed the marshal of the Zhao Kingdom.”Xia Zihou only smiled and didn't say anything about the marshal. The people who were supposed to fight had appeared here. Now, it could probably be explained why the enemy could not accept the battle for so long. It was because the commanders of the two armies had disappeared. What they were comparing was only the strategy of military strategists.
She raised her hand to block the sunlight and finally came out of that place. She did not expect that the place she lived in was so well-hidden.
"All of you, go down. Without this prince's permission, no one is allowed to take half a step closer.”Han Che dismissed the crowd outside the door and called for a few loyal men to stand guard outside. Xia Zihou stared at the map that had been spread out, his heart filled with excitement. Soon, Jing 'er, wait a little longer, Royal Sister will definitely bring the Fire Phoenix Lotus to save you.
"The imperial mausoleum is located in the middle of Mount Tai, and the location is steep. Furthermore, the entrance to the imperial mausoleum is guarded by the personal guards of the late Emperor Xi Feng. If we enter, it will definitely cause a commotion.”Su Qing looked at the blueprint and frowned. Xia Zihou's expression flickered. He actually knew about this? Then, what else did he not know? She suddenly felt that Su Qing was like a wolf in sheep's clothing. She could easily put on that harmless appearance and take you down in one bite.
"It's fine, they can't stop Bengong and they won't dare to make a fuss. However, this route needed to be memorized.”He didn't say why he didn't bring him in directly. Xia Zihou nodded slightly, and the three of them surrounded the drawing and took notes for a while. Xia Zihou raised his head slightly.
"Didn't you say there were four people?"
"Yuan Shen is the fourth person. You don't have to worry about the map. Yuan Shen has been familiar with all kinds of mechanisms since he was young. When the time comes, BenGong will tell him.”The three of them chatted until late at night. Han Che looked at the lights outside the window and remembered that they had agreed to meet up. Unexpectedly, the three of them continued chatting until now. Xia Zihou didn't say much. He only listened to the exciting battle between Su Qing and Han Che and occasionally chimed in.
"It's already so late. I wonder if the two of you would do me the honor."
"No." Xia Zihou still said two words, clear and concise. She needed to recover her spirit before she could face tomorrow's events. She had to resolve the poison later. Xia Jing could sit back and watch this grudge, but she, Xia Zihou, would not pretend that she did not see it. If someone dared to poison her people, she would definitely return the favor a hundredfold.
"Alright, where's the Third Prince?"
"This king is also a little tired. Whether or not he gave her face had nothing to do with whether or not she went. This king will stay here today and save me from running around tomorrow.”Su Qing rubbed her slightly bloodshot eyes, and her face revealed a slightly tired expression. Seeing that neither of them were going, Han Che and Su Qing left together.
Xia Zihou was lying on the chaise lounge. The room was already lit up by a charcoal fire, and the temperature was warm. Even though it was spring, the night was still slightly cold. She stared blankly at the peach blossoms opposite her. It was not until the two maidservants walked in and saw that it was already late that she came back to her senses.
"Miss Xia, do you have something on your mind?"
"How do you know?" Xia Zihou glanced at the maid in the green gown, who was smiling gently. The maid sprinkled the flower petals into the basin where Xia Zihou was cleaning her hands. She stirred the petals slightly, and the fragrance of the flowers wafted into her face. Xia Zihou's nerves, which had been exhausted for the entire day, relaxed slightly.
"Miss Xia is always in a daze. Although I don't know what she's thinking, her eyes are always lonely.”The other maidservant continued. Xia Zihou lifted his hand from the basin and took the handkerchief she handed over to him. He wiped his hands unhurriedly and then said to the two of them," You two have indeed hidden yourselves very well. However, I want to know who sent you."”Even in the previous few nights, there were slight sounds of fighting outside. As long as it did not endanger her, she could not be bothered. But now, she had to figure it out.
The two people in front of her clearly didn't expect to be discovered by her. They looked at each other and knelt down before Xia Zihou." This servant is under the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince to protect the Crown Princess Consort."”
"Crown Princess? Your highness hasn't even gotten married yet, so how can you be the crown princess? Go back and tell Han Che that I know what he wants. When the time comes, I will help him. Other than that, there's nothing I can do." Xia Zihou walked towards the bed, no longer looking at the two of them. From the moment she saw them, she had been suspicious. No matter how many people there were in the Crown Prince's Residence, they couldn't all be so skilled. After a few days of interaction, she was certain that these two were under orders.
"Miss…this…"
"Get lost. Don't make me repeat myself." Other than Xia Tianlin, there would be no one else who wanted to use her. It was impossible. She would not allow it and would not let it happen. Throwing the handkerchief in his hand into the basin, Xia Zihou's purple robe was slightly lifted as he sat beside the charcoal fire to warm the wine. The top-grade Peach Blossom Drunken Wine would produce a peach blossom fragrance when it was warmed.
"Yes." The two maidservants nodded. Not long after they packed up their things and left, a figure slowly pushed open the door and walked in. Xia Zihou raised his eyes, and his hand that was warming the wine paused for a moment. He then restrained his strange emotions and said to the person who had just arrived," I didn't expect that the dignified Third Prince would learn from the villains of the market and casually barge into a woman's boudoir."”
"Who exactly are you?" He stood at the door, dressed in white in the night. Peach blossoms fell in the wind outside the window. He raised his peach blossom eyes and smiled as before. However, there was a trace of inquiry and vigilance in his ink-like eyes.
"Xia Feng. Could it be that the Third Prince's hearing was not good?”
"You can't judge a person's heart by their appearance. What do you want the Firephoenix Lotus for?”
"What you do has nothing to do with the Third Prince.”Xia Zihou's every word was filled with provocation. Completely disregarding him, Su Qing walked to her side, took a wine glass from the wine pot she was holding, and poured herself a glass of wine.
"Benwang only came over to ask for a cup of warm wine, why is Miss Xia like this?”Whether it was intentional or not, Su Qing always managed to provoke Xia Zihou's anger. Why did she have to do this? How could she not know what Su Qing wanted to know? However, she refused to tell him. Why would she tell him? If she could improve her cultivation, she would definitely kill him with her own hands.
"Since you've drunk the wine, Third Prince, forgive me for not seeing you off.”
"Ha, Xia Feng, the peach blossoms are burning and magnificent, not fake at all.”Xia Zihou didn't hear that sentence, only the last few words. It wasn't fake at all. She clenched the cup in her hand tightly. Could it be that he knew something? However, when he looked up, he only saw the figure that had gone far away.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184:24PM
