Chapter 399: Missing It
Xia Houran agreed to the conditions proposed by the mysterious man and was able to regain his freedom. The first thing he did after leaving the prison was to eat a big meal and eat hard.
The food he ate in the prison was just for pigs. If he wasn't afraid of starving to death, he would never eat it.
"One more bowl." Xia Houran finished the entire bowl of white rice and handed the empty bowl to the person next to him for use.
The man was a little dissatisfied, but he still had to serve Xia Houran the rice. He kept muttering in his heart: What kind of prince is he?
Xia Houran knew that what he was doing now was a bit inappropriate, but he was really hungry and couldn't care about that much. He just wanted to be full first, so he ate five bowls of rice before putting down his chopsticks and taking a look.
The person next to him could tell from his clothes that he was just a ploy, so he said contemptuously: "Let your master come and talk to me about business."
"My master is currently unavailable." The man also spoke in a contemptuous tone, not taking Xia Houran seriously at all.
They were originally hostile to the imperial court, and even if Xia Houran was still the prince, he would not take Xia Houran seriously.
Xia Houran felt angry because of the man's disrespectful attitude and asked him: "What do you mean?"
He had had enough of this kind of cynicism in the prison, and he didn't want to suffer it anymore when he was outside.
"Isn't what I said clear?" The man was not frightened by Xia Houran's question and warned him in turn, "You'd better stay here peacefully, otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will
Take it upon yourself, I can guarantee that as long as you leave this door, you will be captured by Xia Houyuan. I remember that the late emperor once issued such an imperial edict. If you escape from prison privately, Xia Houyuan can execute you."
"Believe it or not, I will kill you?" Xia Houran was very angry. He clenched his hands into fists and wanted to strangle people, but his reason prevented him from such impulse.
Now he has to rely on others to stand up. Even if he gets angry again, he has to endure it. At most, he can only say a few angry words.
However, the man seemed to have understood this truth for a long time, so he was not afraid of Xia Houran's attack on him, and even intensified his provocation, "You want to kill me, right? Come on, kill me!"
"you……"
"Humph, you are no longer a prince, but a wanted criminal, a deposed prince. If the Lord hadn't saved you, you would still be in prison! So you'd better not put on any airs in front of me.
Otherwise, it will be easy for you."
Xia Houran glared at the man in front of him. Even if he was angry again, he knew what the truth was. He tried hard to hold back his anger. It took a long time to calm down, and he asked other things in a huff: "When will your Lord come back?"
"How can a little person like me know what the Lord is doing?" the man said sarcastically. The implication was that he was a little person among the Lord, let alone Xia Houran.
"Then he should have left something for you to convey to me, right?" Xia Houran continued to endure, deciding not to argue with such a small person.
He is now helpless and has no strength. If he doesn't want to suffer a loss, he can only endure his anger a little longer. When he turns over, he will make those who have bullied him pay the price.
"The Lord told you to hide here obediently for a few days, to avoid the limelight first, and then talk about it after a few days."
"How many days do you mean in the next few days?"
"The Lord only said a few days. As for the specific days, only the Lord Himself knows."
"Who is your lord?"
"When our Lord is willing to tell you, you will know." The man didn't tell Xia Houran anything. After waiting for him for most of the day, he lost his patience, so he didn't want to pay attention to Xia Houran anymore, so he turned around and left.
Xia Houran was very angry. Although he still had questions, he didn't want to condescend to ask a small person. He could only hold it in and sit there alone sulking. He was just eating and didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment. Now
It wasn't until I calmed down that I noticed it, feeling disgusted in my heart.
The environment here is not much better than Tianlao. It is even the same as Tianlao. It is dark and humid. Staying there gives people a feeling of darkness.
It was entirely the fault of Xia Houyuan and Jimo Wuxuan that he had fallen into this state, and Qian Diewu, after he turned around, he would definitely make these people pay ten times the price.
However, the person who can help him turn around is the mysterious man, so now he has to listen to the mysterious man's arrangements and avoid the limelight first.
Xia Houran kept comforting himself, forcing himself to accept this harsh environment, and speculated about the mysterious man.
Who is this mysterious man who helped him?
A mysterious man in black robe, like a ghost, stood in a hidden corner of Mo Castle to inspect the terrain. He also covered the upper part of his face with a black robe and hat. From the front, only he could be seen.
Smooth chin, nothing else can be seen.
The mysterious man stood for a long time, seemingly unable to understand the topography of Mo Castle, so he took out a square piece of cloth and looked at the map on the piece of cloth to find the target. When he found the path, he was about to start walking, but unexpectedly
When you hear other people's voices around you, be alert immediately and be ready to take action.
"Hmm... it's such a good wine! Hiccup... the wine here is so good that I can't even bear to leave... hiccup..." Mr. Xie was lying on a roof, holding the wine in his hand as usual.
He was drinking a pot of wine, burping drunkenly, and talking nonsense. He lay there lazily, not deliberately looking at the mysterious man in the corner.
"Xie Tianxing." The mysterious man recognized the other person at a glance and could even name him, but his vigilance was also heightened.
"Xie Tianxing... this name sounds a bit familiar. Where have you heard it before? Hiccup..." Xie Daxia was very drunk and muttered.
"Hmph." Regarding Xie Tianxing's pretense of stupidity, the mysterious man just sneered, seemingly not surprised, and then said grimly: "Old friend, long time no see, how are you doing?"
"Old friend, do I know you?"
"Whether you recognize him or not is entirely up to you. If you say you don't recognize him, I won't force you. I have something important to do in Mo Castle today, so you'd better not hinder me."
"Hmm... your voice sounds familiar. I should have heard it before." Xie Tianxing answered the question incorrectly. He was still drunk and spoke incoherently.
But the mysterious man did not let down his guard because of this, nor did he panic. He responded calmly, with a hint of ridicule, and said coldly: "It seems that you are already on Jimo Wuxuan's side and want to hinder my affairs."
"What's this over there? You're really weird in what you say. There's so much fine wine here. Of course I'm here. Do you have any fine wine over there?"
"I don't have the wine you want."
"Since there is no such thing, then there is nothing to say."
"Hmph." The mysterious man snorted again and warned coldly: "You'd better stay out of my business, otherwise I will be cruel to you even if you are from the same sect."
"My fellow disciple, when did I have a fellow disciple?" Xie Tianxing sat up, still drunk, tilted his head, looked at the mysterious man below, squinted his eyes and said, "My master is my only disciple, where did I come from?
Fellow disciple? You guys actually dare to pretend to be my fellow disciple, you are so courageous!"
"Whether it is yes or no depends on whether you admit it or not? Senior brother, people in the world call you a magic machine. Then can you tell me where Jimo Wuxuan hides his account books?"
"Senior brother, who is your senior brother? Don't get too close?" Xie Tianxing lay back again, continued drinking, paused, and said lazily: "Well... you will never get the account books of Mo Castle, even if you get them
It’s no use even when we arrive.”
"As long as you don't stop me, I can get it. All the masters of Mo Castle have entered the palace, and there is no one to defend here. If you don't mind your own business, I will definitely get the account book." The mysterious man was very confident.
In order to achieve the goal, I had to persuade him, "Senior brother, for the sake of seeing that you are in the same class, just leave this thing alone and enjoy your beautiful bar. How about that?"
"Don't worry about me, senior fellow apprentice. My master is my only disciple, so I don't have any junior disciples. As for the account book you mentioned, I advise you to be less interested in it, because you have no connection with it."
"What if I have to get it?"
"I said, you have no connection with it. Even if you get it, it won't do anything to you. Before the owner comes back, you'd better disappear as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very troublesome." Xie Tianxing changed to a more lazy one.
posture, close your eyes and go to sleep. Before going to sleep, you should say, "Well... I seem to have drunk too much today. It's time to have a good sleep."
"Humph." The mysterious man snorted in displeasure, and continued to study the map in his hand without listening to Xie Tianxing's words, and then walked towards the accounting room.
Account books, as the name suggests, should be kept in the accounting room.
As soon as the mysterious man left, Xie Tianxing opened his eyes again, glanced at the direction in which the mysterious man left, and sighed: "He is really disobedient. This man will not be sensible unless he suffers a big loss. Let him suffer the loss."
Bar."
After Xie Tianxing finished talking to himself, he closed his eyes and went to sleep. The cold wind in winter had no effect on him, and he could sleep soundly no matter how cold it was.
People in Mo Castle were already accustomed to Xie Tianxing's weird behavior, so they didn't bother to care about him.
The mysterious man followed the map, coupled with his own exploration of Mo Castle, and soon arrived outside the courtyard where the accounting room was located. Although the security here was tighter, he was still able to sneak in quietly and rummage inside the accounting room.
try to find.
The two guards guarding the courtyard gate felt a strange gust of wind blowing by. They paused for a moment, both feeling strange, but they couldn't put their finger on what was strange.
"Did you have a strange feeling just now?"
"Yes, there seems to be a strange wind blowing."
"Will something happen?"
"Don't make a fuss. The weather is so cold, and it's normal for there to be some weird wind. We are guarding the accounting room, and there are many mechanisms inside. People without certain skills will not be able to get out alive."
"That's right."
