Uncle Nine

Chapter 45
"Where are you a Taoist priest?" Dongfang Yue asked.

Xia Yu smiled, "It's just pretending." Seeing him frowning, he hurriedly said, "There's nothing I can do about it." Seeing that he had finished both bowls, Dongfang Yue just looked at it and didn't eat a bite. Xia Yu was puzzled, "Old man, don't you want to eat?"

For some reason, seeing her smile, Dongfang Yue felt an unspeakable emotion.What emotion?Just can't get angry.That Yingying smile, if dyed with the color of the sun, is as warm as the warm sun in March.

Can make people warm to the heart.

He frowned, why did she love to laugh so much.

Pushing the wonton in front of her, Dongfang Yue glanced at her and didn't speak.

Xia Yu laughed, "Then I won't be polite."

Dongfang Yue got up and left, Xia Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes.

A man passed by Dongfang Yue, and Dongfang Yue's waistband had disappeared.Xia Yu stood up sullenly, "How unreasonable is that, dare to do something in front of the young master!"

Dongfang Yue lowered his head and saw that his belt had been stolen, and was about to get angry, but Xia Yu had already rushed forward.

She just brushed past the man, then circled back.

Her eyes were slightly cold, she struck so fast that even Dongfang Yue couldn't see what was going on, and the belt had already fallen back into Xia Yu's hands.Looking at her young age, she is unexpectedly a Lianjiazi!

"Here, I'm asking you to come back." Xia Yu spread out her palms, and her waistband lay intact in her palms, "There are so many people on the street, it's no wonder you don't get noticed by people with your outfit." Seeing him Standing still, she grabbed his hand and stuffed the waistband directly into his palm, "Put it away, don't lose it next time."

Dongfang Yue frowned and looked at her, his eyes were dark and unfathomable.

Xia Yu looked a little embarrassed, "They are also eating for nothing, so don't blame them. If life is not difficult, who would want to do things like stealing chickens and dogs. You rich and honored lords certainly don't know what it's like to be hungry and cold."

She turned around and left, Dongfang Yue followed behind her.

She looked back at him, "Old man, why are you following me? You—won't you get lost?" She pointed to her nose, "Want——shall I take you back?"

He looked at her and suddenly stopped laughing.

"Old man, you look pretty when you smile. What do you always do with a straight face? People who like to smile, good luck. I'll go first, see you later." She quickly ran into an alley and disappeared in front of him.

Dongfang Yue didn't chase after him, but why did that sentence sound so familiar?
I vaguely feel that more than ten years ago, some people also said: People who like to laugh are lucky.

But more than ten years have passed, and the final result is that no one can laugh anymore.Or, I have long forgotten what a real smile is.

------------

Xia Yu slipped in through the back door of Prince Rui's Mansion, and returned to Furong Garden with ease.

The dagger was extremely sharp, and Xia Yu carefully put it in his sleeve.Arrange the hidden dart weapons in your arms for easy shooting.The croton powder is stuffed in the sleeves, and the medicine can be given by shaking it.

Of course, her purpose is not to kill, but to prevent it before it happens, so it's better to put arsenic poison in the shoes and socks.It is best not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

With such full armor, I don't believe that Zhao Laojiu can still be mad.

When it was completely dark, Xia Yu changed into her servant girl's clothes and quietly ran out of Furong Garden.

The Yangxin Pavilion was as quiet as ever, Xia Yu lay at the door of Zhao Shuo and watched for a long time, thinking, Zhao Laojiu didn't seem to be there.The strange thing is that Li Gouqi didn't know where he went.

A guard stepped forward and handed a lunch box to Xia Yu directly, "Master Li ordered you to deliver food to the backyard."

"Backyard?" Monk Zhang Er was puzzled by Xia Yu, "Who is in the backyard?"

"You'll know when you go." The guard turned and left.

Xia Yu curled her lips, she was not familiar with the road, so she could only walk backwards based on her feeling.It's strange to say that Prince Rui's mansion is full of bustle and bustle, except Yangxin Pavilion, where there are often no ghosts to be seen.

Tonight was not like last night, the corridor was actually lit with lights.Xia Yu walked along the lanterns in the corridor, finally saw two guards outside the door of a room, and hurried forward.

Before she could speak, the guard looked at her lunch box and opened the door directly, "Hurry up and get out after the food is delivered."

Xia Yu nodded half-understood, and walked into the room carrying a lunch box.

The room was dim, with only one candle lit, and an iron cage could be vaguely seen in the room.Xia Yu snorted, "Zhao Laojiu is really crazy, does he raise big birds in the house? Put such a big cage, he will be full!"

However, there is a figure in the cage, with its back to the door.

"Hey, who are you? It's time to eat." Xia Yu shouted, and stepped forward to put down the lunch box.

Hearing Xia Yu's voice, the man seemed extremely excited, turned around and knocked on the iron fence desperately, and could not make any other sounds of "babbling" in his throat.

Xia Yu ignored him, and took out the food from the lunch box, "Hurry up and eat! I don't know why you offended Zhao Laojiu, but you were locked up like this."

After saying that, she raised her head, just looking up, the food box in her hand fell to the ground with a "click", "Tiger?"
