Chapter 23 He Yunxiao, the reward amount is fifty taels

The morning in Yin Jingcheng was as peaceful as ever.

Jiang Wuyou got up early, walked lightly past the man sleeping outside the bed, and then got down lightly to put on clothes and make-up.

It's not an ordinary dress, but a gorgeous costume that will be worn at the eldest princess' coming-of-age ceremony.

After everything was tidied up, Jiang Wuyou ordered people to cook and boil water, preparing to wait for He Yunxiao to get up, dress, wash and eat.

Like many maids in the Hou Mansion, Jiang Wuyou actually has no status in the Wu Qing Hou Mansion.

But the servants of the Hou Mansion are not fools.

This Miss Jiang is now extremely favored in the Hou Mansion. Not only does the young master stay by her side every day, but even the Master and Madam of the Hou Mansion also like her very much.

Despite this, the servants of the Hou Mansion were not jealous of Jiang Wuyou.

I really can't get jealous.

With her face, breasts, buttocks and slender waist, it’s no wonder that the young master likes her. Even the maids who are also women can’t help but be attracted to her.

He Yunxiao was startled as soon as he got up.

"Are you? My sister Jiang?"

Jiang Wuyou covered his mouth and chuckled: "What? Can't you recognize me?"

He Yunxiao looked at the makeup on Jiang Wuyou's face, the slender eyebrows, eye shadow and sexy red lips, and he really couldn't recognize Jiang Wuyou.

Jiang Wuyou took the initiative to explain: "The dancers are far away from the audience, so they have to wear some heavy makeup. Don't you like it?"

He Yunxiao stood up, hugged his Wuyou lady and said, "I like you no matter how good a good lady you are."

Jiang Wuyou was not a defenseless Mengbao. She was not shy about He Yunxiao's affectionate words, she was only happy.

"Go, don't wrinkle the clothes I just changed..."

He Yunxiao whispered: "Sister, I still owe today's 'interest'."

Jiang Wuyou widened his eyes and said, "It took a lot of effort for me to..."

On the yellowish leaves in the early morning of November, a huge drop of dew bent the slender branches. Moistened by the early morning frost, the branches and leaves were much more tender than last night. But the trouble of the branches did not lie in the cold weather.

In winter, the reason is that the moist water vapor beside the pond is so frosty every night, there is really too much water.

He Yunxiao was sitting in the carriage of the Marquis Mansion, holding the mirror for Jiang Wuyou.

Jiang Wuyou is touching up her lip makeup.

He Yunxiao doesn't need to replenish his makeup. He has his own way of replenishing his makeup. For example, he kisses the moisture remaining on the beautiful branches and leaves like a bird, and bends the branches. The more he replenishes water, the drier his mouth becomes.

There are two carriages in the Marquis Mansion, one is occupied by the Marquis and his wife, and the other is occupied by He Yunxiao and Jiang Wuyou. If He Yunxiao wants to sneak into Meng Qingqian's coming-of-age ceremony, he cannot get along with those from the Wuqing Marquis Mansion.

Everyone moved together, and when they were approaching the palace, He Yunxiao found an excuse and drove away from the carriage.

Wu Qinghou's Mansion was still considered the power of the Prime Minister. In this case, He Yuanhao was inconvenient to attend the eldest princess' coming-of-age ceremony. He just went to the Ministry of Etiquette out of boredom and personally greeted Li Gongqin on Jiang Wuyou's behalf.

"Li Shangshu, I will leave my girl to you."

Li Gongqin looked at the Hou Mansion, which was mobilizing troops, and Jiang Wuyou, who looked innocent, and said mechanically: "General, don't worry, Li Gongqin understands."

As one of the few people who knew the inside story, Li Gongqin naturally understood He Yuanhao's pun. The so-called "my girl" refers to both "Jiang Wuyou" and "Meng Qingqian" who has not yet married.

As for the matter of running against the Prime Minister, they have not yet communicated with Wu Qinghou. They will have to wait until after today's lunch banquet and Xiaoyue's "fake death" is successful. By then, the major event has been decided and there will be no resistance. What's more, we don't talk about feelings, just about military affairs.

, the prime minister can't stop the Yan army. It will be much easier to talk about it in a day or two when things become clear.

Li Gongqin sent He Yuanhao away and said, "Li Jin, take Miss Jiang to the first-class guest room to rest."

Li Jin would naturally not be absent from such an important event as his cousin's coming-of-age ceremony.

As soon as his father greeted him, he ran over and said, "Sister-in-law, come with me."

This sudden "sister-in-law" attracted the attention of officials from the local rites department and many other actors who came to perform.

Jiang Wuyou blushed in rare shyness.

"Master Li, I am not. I am not married yet."

Li Jin didn't care about this. He thought Jiang Wuyou was being modest. "It doesn't matter, sister-in-law, getting married will happen sooner or later. Don't be embarrassed."

Although Li Jin had never even held the little girl's hand, he seemed to understand it better than He Yunxiao at this moment.

After arriving in a separate lounge, Jiang Wuyou said to Li Jin: "Master Li, please go to the palace guards to get me the sword I need for sword dancing. When I entered the palace with my parents, I was detained by the guards.

"

Li Jin patted his chest and said, "Put it on me," and never came back.

The person who gave Jiang Wuyou a sword was another unfamiliar official from the Ministry of Etiquette. The sword he gave was not her own iron sword, but a wooden sword.

"Miss Li, your highness is not allowed to bring swords to the stage during your coming-of-age ceremony. You can use this sandalwood sword. Sandalwood is very heavy, and its use is similar to the girl's iron sword."

Jiang Wuyou stared blankly at the wooden sword in his hand.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: How to stab with a wooden sword?

Sandalwood?

Jiang Wuyou sniffed the strong sandalwood scent on the sword, which was very similar to the spices she often used.

Aren't ordinary wooden swords made of peach wood? Why is this sword made of sandalwood?

Jiang Wuyou was worried, but he remembered what He Yunxiao said last night: No matter what situation you encounter, sister, just go on stage and dance the sword, and leave the rest to your Xiao'er.

With a faint smile on her lips, Jiang Wuyou simply gave up. Since she moved into the Hou Mansion, there has been no worst outcome in her life.



The palace where the coming-of-age ceremony is held is much stricter than usual. At this time, it is almost impossible to climb over the wall and get in.

He Yunxiao seemed to have only two options left, either to enter through the main entrance, or to find other ways to sneak into the palace in a low-key manner.

When making preparations yesterday, He Yunxiao had no idea how to sneak into the palace during the strictly guarded adult ceremony. But soon, He Yunxiao discovered that he was still narrow-minded. If he wanted to sneak into the palace, it would definitely be Yan.

The national assassin is good at it!

When he climbed over the wall and entered the palace late at night, He Yunxiao could barely avoid being discovered by the palace guards by relying on his peerless lightness skills. However, those seventh- and eighth-level assassins were able to sneak into the palace just like him.

There must be something fishy!

Think about what Yan Guo’s assassins would do!

Changle Casino!

It is said that after He Yunxiao drove away from Jiang Wuyou's car, he immediately went home and changed into an inconspicuous outfit and headed to Changle Casino. Because his face was so recognizable, he could only wear half a mask to cover his face.

.

After checking it out yesterday, He Yunxiao's trip to Changle Casino went smoothly today.

After walking past the noisy crowd, He Yunxiao stood in front of the counter of the casino and said mysteriously: "The world is far away."

The maid over there understood it and said, "The temple is so high. Guest, please come with me."

The underground level of Changle Casino is the underground level of the entire Yinjing Jianghu, which belongs to the kingdom of assassins.

Before reaching the real underground level, you need to pass through a very narrow passage. Because the identity of the assassin is kept secret, only one person is allowed to pass through at a time. Both sides of the passage wall are covered with various reward notices. He Yunxiao even saw it here

He and his father He Yuanhao.

He Yuanhao, the reward amount is 100,000 taels. He Yunxiao, the reward amount is 50 taels.

Gan!

He Yunxiao walked through the long passage, and at the end was a brightly lit room with simple furnishings, only three wooden doors, a tea table and a girl.

The girl was sitting at the table, making tea for He Yunxiao: "You were here yesterday, are you still here to kill Meng Qingqian today?"

He Yunxiao nodded and said: "Exactly."

"Have you thought about it? The assassins from Changle Gambling House who go out to kill Meng Qingqian will not survive."

He Yunxiao thought: Stop talking nonsense and let me go.

"It doesn't matter, there is a blood feud and I have to kill him."

The girl nodded, no longer asked, but stood up and opened the wooden door behind her.

"Whoever takes Meng Qingqian's head will receive two hundred thousand taels of silver. If he kills the person who was killed, the owner of the money will pay five hundred taels of silver."

He Yunxiao nodded to express his understanding of what he said yesterday, and then he said: "Well, can I ask who put up the reward for He Yunxiao."

The girl smiled but said nothing.

Seeing that she had no intention of saying anything, He Yunxiao waved his hand and walked through the door.

After He Yunxiao left, the girl took out a notebook and added another stroke on the counting chart of the character "正" behind the character "九".
