Chapter Forty-One: Suddenly Missing the Man in the Iron Mask
During this period of time, Huangfu Hongfei, in addition to circling Huangfu Tianao every day, missed the Iron Masked Man the most.
In the night sky, twilight fell, and there were scattered twinkling stars on the sky. Huangfu Hongfei sat on the steps of Chaofeng Palace with his hands on his chin, looking up at the dark sky, he couldn't help but think of her and Tie.
During the time we spent together with each other, I asked, "Hey, where have you been? The security in the palace is not very tight for you? Why haven't you shown up yet?"
When she thought of the man in the iron mask threatening herself that if she disobeyed, she would endanger the life of the prince's brother Huangfu Tianao, Huangfu Hongfei always felt that the man in the iron mask was omnipotent and would never guard the small palace.
In sight
But half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the man in the iron mask has not appeared once. Has he disappeared?
Huangfu Hongfei couldn't think of any clues or answers. He could only hold his chin up and look up at the sky, muttering to himself.
To be honest, Huangfu Hongfei was determined not to believe that the man in the iron mask would not show up because of the mere guards in the palace. The only reason why he didn't come was that he had his own things to be busy with and couldn't even bother to look for him in the palace.
Own
The more Huangfu Hongfei thought about it, the more likely it was that he felt it was possible. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt. Although he had never called the Iron Masked Man master, at least he and she had a half-master-disciple relationship. Why did he suddenly disappear?
What about a notification?
Angrily, he clenched his fists and waved them in the air twice. Huangfu Hongfei cursed in his heart that when they meet again next time, he will definitely not let the man in the iron mask have an easy time. Recently, he was dizzy due to the homework arranged by the palace.
I wanted to see the man in the iron mask to relieve my emotions, but that man just didn't show up.
At night, Huangfu Hongfei wanted to sneak out of the palace to stretch his muscles. Unfortunately, the security of Feng Palace was much tighter than that of Helian's family. When she was still a princess, she naturally dared not to guard against the patrolling guards.
In general, even if you are discovered, you will most likely be scolded by your father and mother for being naughty. But the situation is different now. If you are accidentally caught by the guards, you will probably be punished by the emperor and empress.
Once I get through, let alone the opportunity to follow Huangfu Tianao every day, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in even inside the palace.
After thinking about it for a while, Huangfu Hongfei felt that it was too unworthy to take this risk.
It was another boring sleepless night. Huangfu Hongfei was lying on the bed with her clothes on. She blinked at the curtain above her head and looked at the decoration inside the Feng Palace. It was as noble and elegant as ever, even for her, the youngest daughter of the Helian family.
The side hall was also decorated in no way inferior to the east side hall where he lived before. With his legs crossed, Huangfu curled his lips weakly and muttered again: "Hey, I don't know about that cold-faced and cold-hearted man in the iron mask."
When will he be able to think of me? If he doesn't come again, my efforts will probably be wasted."
With no private time to practice the martial arts taught by the Iron Mask Man, Huangfu Hongfei could only find opportunities to ponder the essence of those skills in her free time. Now, no matter where she goes, there are always people following her. What's even more disgusting is,
She can't blatantly leave those people behind and sneak away. If that's the case, the supervision of her in the palace will probably become stricter.
Entering the palace as the youngest daughter of the Helian family, Huangfu Hongfei had long thought that his father and mother would be careful to guard against it. However, despite this, Huangfu Hongfei was still overjoyed to see Huangfu Tianao every day.
"Hey, little girl, do you miss me? Why, you don't get along well with your prince brother?"
Inside the room, another voice sounded softly.
Huangfu Hongfei jumped up from the bed reflexively, and stared at the person who suddenly appeared in the room with his eyes widened in disbelief, "Have you finally remembered that there is another me?"
After struggling for a while, Huangfu Hongfei immediately launched an army to investigate. Although he did not seem to have the position or qualifications to mobilize an army to investigate.
The iron-masked man's eyes fell lightly on Huangfu's red face. He was not annoyed and she just responded in a funny tone and said: "It seems that you really don't get along well with your prince brother? In this case
, I will find an opportunity to take you out of the palace? What do you think of this idea? "
The man in the iron mask clearly came here to see Huangfu Hongfei's jokes. Seeing as she had obviously got her wish, seeing Huangfu Tianao every day, why did she still sigh? Seeing as she had obviously gone back to her old days, why was she still here talking about it?
What about yourself?
Huangfu Hongfei rolled his eyes, drooped his little head feebly, and said: "What do you mean? You know that I don't want to leave here at all, and you deliberately provoke me? At worst, I won't ask you why you haven't come for so long.
Hey, who cares to know?"
Playing with his fingers depressedly, Huangfu Hongfei wondered if his IQ had deteriorated after leaving the Iron Mask Man, and he might slowly be planning to secretly reveal the inside story of the Helian family, or he could think about what to do.
Let Huangfu Tianao and others gradually believe that they are Huangfu Hongfei. But why did I miss him inexplicably during the period when the Iron Masked Man left?
After thinking about it, Huangfu Hongfei couldn't come to a conclusion. The only possibility he thought was that maybe he was drugged without knowing it? That's why he became abnormal? That's why he became more and more stupid?
The more he thought about it, the more Huangfu Hongfei felt that it was just that.
"Tell me, why did you suddenly think of me again today? I knew that these guards in the palace must not be taken seriously by you. With your skills, you can walk inside and outside the palace with ease?"
Ever since she started learning kung fu from the Iron Mask Man, Huangfu Hongfei has been very good at it. The Iron Mask Man's martial arts ability can fly over walls, be silent, and be invisible. She would be envious of her to death. If the Iron Mask Man wasn't so powerful,
, she is too lazy to learn from him
The man in the iron mask spread his hands and handed Huangfu Hongfei a dagger. "This is what I carry with me. Now I give it to you for self-defense. Remember, this dagger cannot be seen by anyone. Anyone who sees it will suffer the consequences."
There is only one, and that is death. So, the more people you value, the less likely they are to discover the existence of this dagger. Otherwise, even if you don't kill them, I will do it myself."
With a serious voice and a solemn expression, Huangfu Hongfei suddenly felt that the dagger had been cursed. She hesitated, not daring to reach out her hands to pick it up. She could promise not to show the dagger to anyone intentionally, but
But there is no guarantee that in some unavoidable emergencies, if her brother the prince accidentally discovers that she carries a dagger with her, wouldn't it harm him?
Huangfu Hongfei hesitated and bit his lip, "Can't you change to a less evil dagger? Everyone you see will die? Isn't that too unreasonable?"
She once lived in a legal society, but she had not yet learned to treat human life as insignificant as an ant, and had not yet learned how to easily kill any human life. Now she was suddenly asked to carry around a dangerous dagger that could kill anyone at any time. She
It’s really not acceptable
The Iron Masked Man turned over his hand and put the dagger on the table without pressing Huangfu Hongfei, "There is no way I can take back what I sent out. If you want to change to a dagger, you must first learn how to hide this one."
dagger"
His words, cold and emotionless, told Huangfu Hongfei the fact that he did not force Huangfu Hongfei to take the dagger now, but she could not escape that the dagger was given by him, and it would be her future responsibility.
If it is not hidden well, many people will be killed.
Huangfu Hongfei was very depressed. He climbed out of bed and walked to the table with bare feet. He stepped on the chair neatly and reached the table. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the dagger. His eyes were full of anger. "Why should I insist on what you gave me?"
Do you want to accept it?"
The coldness of the Iron Masked Man aroused the restless factor in her body. If it weren't for protecting Huangfu Tianao, why would she be threatened by the Helian family? Why should she look at the Iron Masked Man's eyes here? Isn't it just the same?
A broken dagger? She could just throw it away?
Turning around, Huangfu Hongfei grabbed the dagger and rushed out. Before he could take two steps, the man in iron mask pulled him back by the collar, "If you want to throw it away, it's not impossible, but, when you encounter
When you are in danger, you have nothing to defend yourself and save your life. Moreover, your brother, the prince, might also get into some trouble because of your current impulsiveness."
The man in the iron mask said lightly, and there was no hint in his comfortable eyes that he was threatening Huangfu Hongfei. Huangfu Hongfei's whole body froze, and he slowly retracted his steps, his unyielding eyes falling on the dagger.
, carefully looking at the things that the man in the iron mask forced on him even if he threatened Huangfu Tianao's life.
Ancient patterns, some kind of energy that she couldn't describe, was swimming in the copper-green gaps. The top of the dagger handle was inlaid with a pure black gem. If you stretched out your hand and touched it, you would feel bursts of coldness. In the past, Huangfu Hong
Fei knew more or less about luxury jewelry. She looked at the gemstone closely and guessed that it was probably obsidian with unusual hardness. She carefully played with the dagger. Huangfu Hongfei suddenly raised his head and looked at the Man in the Iron Mask.
"Is this dagger without a scabbard?"
The man in the iron mask curled up his lips and smiled. Outside the mask, the cold light was so cold that nothing could be seen. "Scabbard? When you are in danger, someone will wait for you to take out the dagger, and then pull it out of the scabbard."
Come out? Little girl, what I give you is not a toy, but something that can actually kill people and save lives. Do you think that all daggers are like what your father gave you? The gorgeous appearance exceeds its own meaning? "
Huangfu Hongfei suddenly remembered that the dagger was still in the convoy going to Tianyun.
"Since you know that I carry a dagger with me, why didn't you take that dagger with you when you kidnapped me?"
That dagger was important to Huangfu Hongfei not only because it was transported by Huangfu Qi, but also because if it hadn't been for that dagger, how would she have come to this world?
The more Huangfu Hongfei thought about it, the more unhappy she became. If she had the ability, she would definitely find the dagger.
