Chapter 177 A Disappearing Person
When the King of Huainan was speaking, it started to rain sparsely outside, gradually extinguishing the fire outside. The matter of the group had been tossing for a day. At this time, it was getting dark, and the flames outside the inner hall were extinguished by the rain, and it seemed even more gloomy and terrifying.
Before, Gui Bugui intentionally put the seven corpses in. He originally planned to lead out the behind-the-scenes person who used the Jiuquzang to murder the King of Huainan. Unexpectedly, all this was related to the man in white robe. Fortunately, Gui Bugui had a little more mind before, just in case he would exchange Xiao Rensan with King of Huainan Liu Xi. With his disguise technique that even Xi Yingzhen could not see through, he even deceived the man in white robe.
Just before the autopsy was conducted, Liu Xi had sent away the guards gathered at the door. The young King Huainan was very strict in his family. Without him, even if the inner hall was lit by a fire, the guards guarding in the distance would not dare to come to rescue him. After seeing that there was no abnormality for a long time, the eunuch who was guarding here asked Liu Xi whether he could transfer the eunuch in to get in and remove the insect corpses and corpses outside the inner hall.
Before Liu Xi could speak, Wu Mian, who had not spoken beside him, staring at the scorched corpse outside, finally spoke: "They were lying down very well, and they would still provoke you if they were attracted. When they were alive, they would die unjustly, and they would be bullied by you if they died. Is there any reason?"
The King of Huainan treated Wu Mian with his politeness. The eunuch general manager naturally knew the weight of this white-haired man. He retreated to the side with fear and fear. Although the King of Huainan Liu Xi was a little disgusted with the corpses outside the inner hall, after hearing Wu Mian's words, he knew that he had other plans and stopped the eunuch general manager and asked him to send someone to prepare supper.
I originally thought that one of Guibugu or Xiao Rensan would watch the dinner come out, but what the King of Huainan did not expect was that none of them wanted to go. At this moment, Xiao Liuxi could only instruct the eunuch to guard the kitchen himself and ask him to watch the food be prepared with his own eyes and deliver it to him. In short, his eyes could not leave the range of the food.
Shortly after the eunuch general left, Wu Mian, who was originally sitting on the cushion, suddenly stood up. His eyes had moved away from the burnt corpses and moved to the endless night. At this time, Gui Bugui's face also changed. The old guy looked at the position where Wu Mian's eyes were. The two seemed to have been waiting for something. Now it was the time when the waiting had a result.
After almost the time was over with hot tea, Wu Mian suddenly turned around and looked at Gui Bugui, reached out to him and said, "Give it..."
In the darkness that the King of Huainan could not see, a man in a white robe and a cloak covered his face walked out of the invisible place. He finally glanced at the direction of the inner hall in the distance, and then without any hesitation, he turned around and walked out of the palace. While walking, he said to himself: "What a pity, this body of skin cannot withstand the rain, otherwise he could play for a while, but this is just the beginning. Wu Mian, you are the person he chose. If you can't last long, it would be too ugly to take him..."
While talking, the man in white robe walked slowly, but strangely, occasionally the eunuchs and guards from the royal palace passed by him, and they seemed to have not seen this person. Even the raindrops falling from the sky fell on him, and I don’t know what he meant just now that the skin could not withstand the rain.
After walking out of the palace, the streets outside were full of soldiers with guns, halberds and swords. The white-robed man walked out of the city in front of these soldiers. None of these soldiers felt that a person had just passed by. At this time, the city gate had already been locked, but the white-robed man actually "passed through the door". After walking out of the city gate, he continued to walk away slowly.
Not long after leaving, the man in white robe suddenly stopped. He slowly turned his head and looked at the weeds that were more than one person tall on the roadside. After pausing for a moment, he suddenly laughed strangely and looked at the location and said to him: "I didn't expect that there would be someone like you in such a small place. Don't be afraid. I'm not a ghost. Come out, maybe I can give you some food..."
After the man in white robe finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the grass. Then a young man in his twenties and ragged clothes walked out of it. After coming out, he looked at the man in white robe with some fear, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said to the man in white robe: "Even if you are a ghost, it's nothing. As long as you can make me full, I don't care if you eat it, but if you want to eat me, it may not be as easy as you imagine."
After seeing this man, the man in white robe was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted, as if the child saw a new toy, looked at the young man in front of him, and giggled, and said, "I didn't expect that there are still people who only took half of the elixir. Tell me, how did you get the elixir, why did you only take half of the elixir?"
The young man was so hungry that he shook his hair. After wiping the sweat on his forehead, he said to the man in white robe: "Can you say it while walking? I haven't eaten for three days. If you continue to say this, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to the time you give me food. Of course, if you have wheat cakes on you, I can also eat them while I'm going to say it,"
The man in white robe laughed and turned around and continued to walk along the road, saying, "Follow me, I have enough food. I don't look like a Chinese man. Let me tell you what you are called first. I will know what you should call you in the future. I can't always call you 'heat', that's a bit ugly."
After hesitating for a while, the young man staggered behind the man in white robe, and said weakly as he walked: "My name is Yang Xiao, Ye Xiao's Xiao..." This young man was Yang Xiao, the nephew of Lin Huodi who had had a grudge against Wu Mian many years ago...
Half an hour later, the two men entered a small village outside Shouchun City. After the two men entered the entrance of the village, an old man with white hair appeared out of thin air behind the man in white robe. The old man was carrying a small bell on his body, and he walked jinglingly. It was particularly clear in the night. What was unexpected was that the slightly hunched old man was Shangguan Yang who suddenly disappeared from the recruitment hall more than a year ago.
Shangguan Yang's appearance scared Yang Xiao, but the man in white robe had no intention of being surprised. He seemed to be aware of the uncertainty. The moment Shangguan Yang appeared, he said without looking back: "How is the matter in the Seven Kingdoms?"
Shangguan Yang replied respectfully: "The subordinates have already spread the news of Wu's death in the Huainan Prince's Mansion to Guangling, Wu's capital. King Liu Bi was furious, but it seems that the poster expected. The King of Wu is now working together with the other six countries and has no time to correspond to the King of Huainan. After the victory and defeat with the court in the future, it is inevitable that he will come to Liu Xi again."
"Liu Bi doesn't have that chance," the man in white robe continued after sneering for a lifetime: "A nephew of Liu Bang, even if he queues up to rebel, it's not his turn. Things are too ugly, and they are crazy..."
While speaking, the candles were lit in all the houses in the village. The man in the white robe had walked towards the largest house, but halfway through his way, he suddenly thought that he had picked up someone on the way back. He turned around and waved to Yang Xiao, who was a little uneasy, and then said to Shangguan Yang: "Let him find something to eat. It's best to have meat. I have something to ask him later, don't treat my guest slowly..."
After hearing the instructions of the man in white robe, Shangguan Yang respectfully took Yang Xiao to a house next to him and found wheat cakes and some air-dried bacon. Yang Xiao could not wait for Shangguan Yang to heat him up. He grabbed the wheat cakes and stuffed them into his mouth. Just as he was chewing hard, another man walked in along the position where Yang Xiao and the man in white robe came in.
