Chapter 14 Being Played(1/2)
Bai Qi carried his baggage and followed the master of An Palace. After saying goodbye to Bai Yu, the master of An Palace took Bai Qi away from Zizhu Residence and headed to An Palace.
The moonlight is very good tonight, so I can see the ground clearly without the help of firelight.
When the two of them entered the city from the north gate, the master of the dark hall took out a token and threw it to Bai Qi.
"Here's this for you, maybe you'll need it in the next few days."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of the Dark Hall grabbed Bai Qi's collar, jumped up and disappeared.
Bai Qi felt like the world was spinning for a while. When he came back to his senses, he found himself outside a majestic and splendid palace.
And the Lord of the Dark Hall has disappeared.
Bai Qi looked around and couldn't help cursing in his heart.
At this time, he was in a huge square, with a majestic palace complex in front of him and the gate of the palace behind him.
Could this be the dark palace?
Bai Qi scratched his head. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. He didn't see anyone in such a big palace.
After hesitating for a moment, he came to the gate of the palace ahead and looked up at the plaque on the gate, but because it was night, he could not read the words clearly.
"There's an assassin!"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind him. Bai Qi trembled with fright. He quickly turned around and saw a group of patrolling soldiers.
This group of soldiers immediately rushed up to surround Bai Qi, pointing their spears at Bai Qi. As long as Bai Qi moved, they would stab Bai Qi's throat with the tip of their spear without hesitation.
"What, I'm not an assassin, I was left here..." Bai Qi quickly replied.
Being pointed at by so many people with weapons, Bai Qi was still very scared, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
At the same time, he scolded the Lord of the Dark Hall in his heart.
The soldiers in this group ignored Bai Qi's words, and some even looked at him like he was an idiot.
No one believed that anyone had the ability to enter and exit the heavily guarded third prince's palace at will. Even if he did, he wouldn't do such a boring thing.
After a while, the door of the palace behind Bai Qi opened, and two people walked out, a man and a woman.
The man is the owner of this palace, the third prince.
The woman was wearing a white dress, her waist-length hair was hanging behind her back, and her pretty face had no expression.
During the day, I noticed that this woman had no left arm and was a woman with a broken arm.
"What are you arguing about?" the third prince said calmly.
"Go back to your highness, we caught an assassin outside your palace!" the soldier replied.
"oh?"
The third prince glanced at Bai Qi in surprise. This was the first time he saw someone paying his attention.
After the woman next to the third prince saw Bai Qi's appearance, a flash of shock flashed in her eyes, and she returned to normal instantly.
Why is he here?
While the third prince was sizing up Bai Qi, Bai Qi was also sizing up the third prince. His first impression was that this man was very sinister.
"There are scars on his face. He is not a good person at first glance. Take him out and chop him!" After a moment, the third prince waved his hand and said.
"Wait!" the woman with a broken arm suddenly stopped her.
The third prince turned to look at the woman beside him and asked in confusion: "Does Hall Master Ning know this person?"
Hall Master Ning nodded.
When the third prince saw this, there was a hint of surprise on his face.
"Did you arrange him?" the third prince asked in a deep voice.
Hall Master Ning frowned slightly, wondering why she couldn't understand the meaning of the words.
"Don't get me wrong, Your Highness, I just know him, but I don't know how he appeared here."
"He is from Hexu Village in Dark Moon City. He is a distant relative of mine. He will never be an assassin. I believe that His Highness will not slander the common people."
The third prince smiled and said, "This is natural."
"Since Hall Master Ning knows him, I won't kill him today, but he has to explain to me how he came to my Huayu Hall?"
Upon hearing this, Hall Master Ning walked up to Bai Qi.
Let him tell everything about how he came to Hua Yu Palace.
Although Bai Qi at this time
Ran was curious as to why the woman named Hall Master Ning wanted to speak for him, but knew that now was not the time to ask.
So he told the story exactly how he appeared here, and he had forgotten about the token.
After hearing what Bai Qi said, the third prince immediately sent people to search the entire Huayu Palace.
In the end, nothing was found.
The third prince stared at Bai Qi with confusion in his eyes.
He could tell that Bai Qi didn't look like he was telling lies, but his appearance outside Huayu Palace during this extraordinary period would inevitably arouse suspicion.
"Do you know the person who left you here?" the third prince asked.
Bai Qi shook his head. From the beginning to the end, he didn't know the name of the Lord of the Dark Hall, let alone her identity.
The corners of the third prince's lips curled up, he naturally didn't believe Bai Qi's words.
But since Hall Master Ning knows him, this matter is beneficial to him.
"Hall Master Ning, for your sake, let's forget about this matter today." The third prince said after thinking for a moment.
"Thank you, Your Highness! I forgot that Your Highness was aware of the incident in Thousand Faces Hall." Hall Master Ning replied quickly.
After saying that, he cupped his fists and saluted the third prince, and then left with Bai Qi.
After Bai Qi and the others left, two men in full armor withdrew from the Hua Yu Palace with two groups of soldiers.
"Your Highness, are you going to let her go like this?" One of the men looked at the door, feeling unwilling to do so.
"put?"
A sinister smile appeared on the third prince's lips.
"My night pearl has been stolen. I hope to see you bring it back tomorrow!"
…
Bai Qi followed the woman known as Hall Master Ning. From the appearance, she was only about twenty-six years old, but there was absolutely no such person among the young women he knew. Why would the other party say that he knew him?
"Tell me honestly, why did you appear outside the third prince's palace?" Hall Master Ning asked after he stopped and made sure there was no one following him.
Bai Qi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I was really thrown in..."
"Who lost it?" Hall Master Ning asked.
"Have you ever heard someone call her Xiao...Xiao Hei?" Bai Qi said tentatively. He had heard Bai Yu call the woman Xiao Hei.
Hall Master Ning frowned slightly, when did the Dark City have a person named Xiao Hei?
"By the way, she gave me a token and said I might use it in the next few days."
Bai Qi slapped his forehead!
Suddenly he thought of the token that the Lord of the Dark Hall had given him before, and quickly took it out and handed it to the other party.
After receiving the token, Hall Master Ning's pupils instantly enlarged and a look of shock appeared on his face.
"The person who gave you the token is a woman?" Hall Master Ning asked tentatively, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Bai Dian nodded.
After receiving Bai Qi's answer, Hall Master Ning felt that his hanging heart finally dropped.
I have been waiting for this moment for too long, it seems that the palace master has finally made up his mind!
Later, Hall Master Ning returned the token to Bai Qi and said, "My name is Ning Xiaoxue. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Ning or Sister Xiaoxue!"
"Do you know her?" Bai Qi asked after putting away the token.
Bai Qi could still feel Ning Xiaoxue's attitude before and after seeing the token, so he was sure that Ning Xiaoxue knew him.
"Well, you should be able to see her in a few days, but these days may make you suffer." Ning Xiaoxue looked at Bai Qi, feeling unbearable.
An ominous premonition arose in Bai Qi's heart, thinking that the woman who threw him in the prince's palace must have some ulterior secret, and maybe she used him as bait...
Thinking of this, Bai Qi already knew the seriousness of the problem, so he turned around and ran away, but how could Ning Xiaoxue let him go?
I saw her grabbing Bai Qi and dragging him back.
"Boy, you are quite smart, aren't you?"
Bai Qi showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and let Ning Xiaoxue drag him with his heart.
On the way back to Ning Xiaoxue's residence, Bai Qi asked the question he had been wanting to ask since the beginning.
To be continued...
