Chapter 42: A dagger that kills people if it is unsheathed
The man in the iron mask also heard the urgency in Huangfu Hongfei's words, but he asked her more calmly, "What would happen if you, Helian Qiqi, carry a dagger symbolizing your princess status with you?
?Do you want His Majesty Hua Chaoguo to believe that you are his daughter Huangfu Hongfei? Or do you want him to doubt what your He-Lian family did to the princess, and then get this dagger by the way? You also deliberately asked you to bring it
Entering the palace and wandering back and forth in front of their eyes?"
After a pause, the Iron Masked Man continued: "Don't forget, your current identity is Prime Minister Helian Yi's youngest daughter, Helian Qiqi."
Huangfu Hongfei, whose head was about to turn into a mess, glared at the man in the iron mask hatefully. This man saw everything too clearly. In front of him, she seemed to be naked, and she felt really uncomfortable.
Huangfu Hongfei had to admit that after coming here, his IQ was really getting lower and lower. People said that the authorities were obsessed with it. Could it be that he was also obsessed with it?
If you can't figure it out, just put it aside for the time being. That's what Huangfu Hongfei is like. Since you can't figure it out, it's better not to think about it for the time being.
Continuing to play with the dagger given by the Iron Masked Man, Huangfu Hongfei always vaguely felt that this dagger was not that simple. Why can't it be seen by anyone? Why must everyone who sees it die? There must be some reason for this. "
Why did you single out this dagger to me?"
Huangfu Hongfei didn't even raise his head and continued to study the dagger in his hand.
When I asked the man in the iron mask, I wasn't in awe. He always felt like he was being set up.
I don’t know if it’s my own misunderstanding or something else.
This feeling of uncertainty has been surrounding Huangfu Hongfei, making her feel very unhappy.
"It is suitable for you. As for other things, I want you to find out slowly in the future. When there are things you should know, you will naturally know them."
The Man in the Iron Mask knew very well that Huangfu Hongfei had begun to be obsessed with the dagger in his hand. This was his purpose. As long as Huangfu Hongfei carried the dagger with him at all times, even if he died, that would be fine.
As for other things, it’s not time to reveal everything yet. Maybe he will let Huangfu Hongfei know in person later.
Looking up at the Iron Masked Man suspiciously, Huangfu Hongfei frowned and asked, "Are you just waiting for me to show off this dagger everywhere? Then you can justifiably go on a killing spree in the palace?"
She almost wondered whether the man in the iron mask deliberately used this dagger to harm others with his own hands.
However, this dagger cannot be retreated now.
I can't accept this hot potato unless I accept it.
"Haha, little girl, you think too much."
The iron masked man's sullen voice came out from under the mask, mixed with a little helplessness. He had long known that this girl was very defensive, but he didn't expect that such a dagger could make her think of such a ridiculous question.
"Since I can easily control Huangfu Tianao's safety, do I still need to borrow this dagger to make a fuss? Does it matter if they can't see this dagger and whether they die or not?"
The man in the iron mask asked helplessly. He obviously wanted to protect the little girl in front of him, so he told her not to let anyone see the dagger. However, it seemed to have been misunderstood.
"No matter what, it's a little inappropriate for a child like you to have a dagger on your body at all times, or in the palace? Aren't you afraid that someone will say that you harbor evil intentions? Or, are you not afraid of being suspected by your brother, the prince, when you enter the palace?
Did you come for an ulterior purpose?"
If it weren't for the mask, the man in the iron mask would really want to rub his eyebrows. He really couldn't understand what this girl was thinking.
What is inside that little head? Sometimes, people think she is terrifyingly smart. Sometimes, people think she is stupid. In short, she gives people the impression of being full of contradictions.
Huangfu Hongfei pouted his mouth angrily, his teeth itching with hatred, but then he thought about it. The Iron Masked Man gave him a self-defense weapon, hoping that he would have a trump card to save his life when he was in danger? Forget it, I won’t care about him so much.
"You came here tonight simply to give me a dagger?"
It seemed that it was not worth the fuss over a dagger, so Huangfu Hongfei simply changed the subject.
Seeing that she did not continue to pester him, the Iron-masked Man followed her wishes and stopped talking about a dagger. "I came here tonight, of course, to discuss with you your training at night. Don't think that after you enter the palace, you will
The training is over, hum, it’s still early.”
While speaking, the Iron-masked Man gestured towards the window with his hand. Huangfu Hongfei immediately followed him with understanding and climbed out of the window neatly.
After leaving Chaofeng Palace, Huangfu Hongfei followed the Iron Masked Man, dodging the patrolling guards and carefully walked towards the depths of the palace.
Huangfu Hongfei followed the man in the iron mask without saying a word. The more she walked, the more frightened she became. The places she passed felt strange even to her. Why was the man in the iron mask as leisurely and comfortable as if he was walking in his own courtyard?
His familiarity with the palace is amazing?
Huangfu Hongfei continued to silently follow the man in the iron mask, going deeper and deeper, becoming more and more gloomy. In fact, some of the houses they just passed by could hear shrill cries, which made Huangfu Hongfei's hair stand on end.
If she was really only five years old, she would have been frightened by this eerie and terrifying environment and would have cried and screamed.
She was a little confused now, wondering if the place she just passed by was the legendary Cold Palace?
However, since she has grown up, she has never heard that her father sent anyone to the cold palace? Could it be that they were people who lived in the palace a long time ago?
As Huangfu Hongfei walked, he was thinking wildly and the light in his eyes was obviously a little messy.
Suddenly, the man in the iron mask stopped and stared at her solemnly. This incident made Huangfu Hongfei's heart beat faster.
In such a gloomy and dark place, she has no idea what will happen next. Since even things like time travel and rebirth can happen, then if someone tells her that there is something like A Piao here, she will believe it without a doubt.
of
"Reached?"
Huangfu Hongfei looked around and found that this place was just an open space surrounded by woods. He couldn't see what it looked like outside. Of course, he couldn't see what kind of unique world this place was from the outside.
The Iron Masked Man nodded slightly, answering Huangfu Hongfei's words.
The training place had to be both hidden and not too far away, so he could only choose this place.
In fact, there is a better and more secluded place in the palace, but it is a pity that it is an island in the middle of the lake. Huangfu Hongfei's small arms and legs cannot row a boat there, and her Qinggong is only half-baked, even more so.
Not to mention standing by the water
In this way, we can only choose to stay in such a deep and hidden place for the time being.
"Is it safe enough here? What if someone discovers it?"
Huangfu Hongfei still felt uneasy. After all, this was the palace, not Helianyi's Prime Minister's Mansion. If someone discovered them, there would be no one to protect them.
After walking around the open space twice, the man with the iron mask said slowly: "After tonight, this place will become another maze."
When a man with an iron mask does anything, he will make perfect preparations first
His words made Huangfu Hongfei understand immediately that he had already planned everything.
After listening to his words, Huangfu Hongfei was even more sure. His familiarity with the palace was really shocking. It also made Huangfu Hongfei even more sure of one thing. Before he was still young, he must not be under the control of the Man in the Iron Mask.
A little clue is revealed in front of me, otherwise, the man in the iron mask will definitely find out something by following the clues.
"Then, I'll be waiting for you at Chaofeng Palace every day, and we'll come together then."
It was another maze. She was not in the mood to walk through the maze by herself. When she was at Helian's house, she was tortured by the man in the iron mask. It was better not to be clever here.
To Huangfu Hongfei's expectation, the man in the iron mask actually shook his head, and a deep voice came out from under the mask at the same time, "I am only responsible for setting up the maze array this time, and you are the one who really does it. So, if you, the fabricator,
If no one in the formation can leave, does that make sense?"
Huangfu Hongfei was startled, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily. She stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek, grinning in pain, "You mean, you want to teach me how to set up a formation?"
It was impossible not to be excited. Huangfu Hongfei was so happy that she almost jumped up. Many things in this world were like the legendary ancient times in her memory.
The detachment standing on the water, the magic circle that can spread murderous intent is really too strange and too tempting.
She knows that if she is not proficient in these words, she will be a rookie in this world. If she wants to protect someone, it can only be empty words that can never be realized.
The man in the iron mask nodded and continued to walk back and forth around the open space, "So, from tonight onwards, this place will become a maze. This night, I will teach you how to set up the formation, and this maze formation is what you learned at the beginning.
I don’t care how rough the maze formation you set up is for the first formation, but you must slowly improve it in the future."
When she was teaching Huangfu Hongfei, the Iron Masked Man never put any pressure on her to push forward, but he made her feel in her heart that if she didn't study hard, she would be sorry for the Iron Masked Man's good intentions.
As time went by, Huangfu Hongfei gradually became accustomed to the style of the Iron Mask Man. Although he did not force himself to learn, he would make himself feel pressured from some details.
Huangfu Hongfei nodded heavily and looked at the Iron Masked Man with longing, "Then, let's start now."
She had long wanted to study this labyrinth array, but unfortunately she had no clue, so she didn't know where to start. Now, the man in the iron mask actually said that he would teach her this in person, which was really unexpected.
She didn't understand why the man in the iron mask suddenly wanted to teach her these things, but she didn't care so much. As long as the man in the iron mask taught her, as long as she thought it was useful, she would definitely try her best to learn it.
