There are three floors in the Windward Inn, and red lanterns are hung on the corridors of each floor. However, there are bursts of mourning and crying sounds coming from inside, accompanied by white cloth floating out from time to time, which makes people's hair stand on end at this night.
Outside the inn, there are groups of guards standing. Judging from their clothes, they must be from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Now that Qi Yuanhao is dead, if another accident happens to the Crown Princess, Northern Qi may go crazy.
I just don't know if these imperial guards have any surveillance mission.
Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but feel troubled. Judging from the fluctuations coming from the guards, it was not easy for him to break into Yingfeng Inn quietly, let alone not knowing which floor Su Zhilan was on.
If he alerted the Northern Qi masters again, once his traces were leaked, at this sensitive moment, he might not know how he would die. For a moment, he regretted not coming a few days ago, and now he couldn't see anyone even if he wanted to.
Zhuo Mufeng was not willing to give up. He hid patiently in the corner and waited for half an hour, but still did not find any chance. Just when he had no choice but to give up, he suddenly sensed a wave of waves approaching quietly from behind, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Pretending not to know, Zhuo Mufeng suddenly turned around and flew into the air at lightning speed. Before anyone approaching could utter a cry of surprise, he touched the opponent's mute point with one finger in the air.
The next moment, he landed in front of the other party and easily controlled the other party. Looking at her through the moonlight, he found that she was a pretty little maid who was less than ten years old. And he seemed to have seen her before somewhere.
The little maid's eyes were filled with fear, as if she was afraid that Zhuo Mufeng would do something bad to her. She opened her mouth to make a sound, and her eyes rolled around to indicate something.
"If you don't want to die, just be smart and cooperate, you know?" Zhuo Mufeng said via voice transmission. To this day, with his internal strength, he has already been able to use the method of transmitting voice into secrets.
The little maid nodded like garlic.
Zhuo Mufeng unlocked the opponent's mute point, but still held the opponent's wrist with his hand, which could break his heart veins at any time.
The little maid wanted to withdraw her hand, but found that it was clamped by iron pliers, so she had to whisper: "Young Master Zhuo, I came to find you on the order of the empress."
Zhuo Mufeng was horrified, and then he remembered that the little maid in front of him was the person next to Su Zhilan, whom he had met at the palace banquet a few days ago.
Hearing what the other party said, Zhuo Mufeng frowned and said, "How did Su Zhilan find me?" If even Su Zhilan saw him, then where was the master of Northern Qi?
The little maid smiled and said: "Don't worry, Young Master Zhuo, the empress guessed it. She said you would definitely come! So I waited for you in another place in advance, and we happened to see you."
Zhuo Mufeng felt a sense of dissatisfaction in his heart, and sneered: "You guessed it? She is really clever." He turned around and wanted to leave.
Seeing that he looked strange, the little maid quickly said: "No, my queen has been waiting for you these past few days. She doesn't leave until almost early in the morning every time. She looks very haggard."
Zhuo Mufeng hummed: "Stop talking nonsense and take me to see her!"
The little maid stuck out her tongue, thinking that this Young Master Zhuo was very cruel, but she didn't dare to make any mistakes, so she led the way with her head down. After walking for a few minutes, the two of them turned to the back door of a house.
But he saw the little maid stopped outside the door, using her hands to create formations. Immediately, a formation fluctuation was exposed. Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help being secretly frightened, because this formation fluctuation was very subtle, and it was suspected that it was not in the core formation of the Blood Demon Flow.
Under the law.
If he didn't sense carefully, he wouldn't be able to discover the mystery here, and it would be even more conceivable if it were placed on other people.
Since it was already past midnight, there was no one around, and the formation was unique, so no one noticed them. Under the guidance of the little maid, Zhuo Mufeng led her to the second floor, opened a certain window, and
Jump in.
An oil lamp swayed on the small table, dancing in the wind. In the limited dim light, a flash of white caught Zhuo Mufeng's sight, making him freeze for a long time.
As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you must be filial. Zhuo Mufeng didn't understand it in the past, until he saw Su Zhilan at this time.
This woman who combines nobility and charm is sitting dignifiedly on the edge of the bed. She is dressed in plain white and has a mourning scarf on her head. Her delicate skin, which is already covered with frost and snow, appears to be as smooth as jade in the uncertain dusk.
, white enough to reflect light, making the whole simple room shine a lot.
Hearing the noise, Su Zhilan turned her head, with a hint of sadness in her brows, which added to her charming temperament. When she saw Zhuo Mufeng, she stood up and smiled softly: "Little thief, you are finally willing to come.
!”
The sound of a little thief seemed to return to that wonderful journey that only belonged to the two of them. Zhuo Mufeng forced himself to keep a cold face and say nothing.
The little maid closed the window, looked at the two people in the room, walked out obediently, and closed the door for them. The room suddenly fell into silence, except for the flickering of candlelight.
Su Zhilan was the first to laugh and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, little thief, why have you become so raw?"
Zhuo Mufeng did not look at her, but said coldly: "I think the empress has misunderstood. In the past few days, you have been writing to me. I came here just out of curiosity. Now you can tell me your purpose. Don't
Delaying each other’s time.”
Hearing this, Su Zhilan held up her skirt with both hands, sat down on the chair, picked up two cups, and filled them with tea. She picked up one cup and drank it, and said, "Don't you like seeing me?
"
A lonely man and a widowed woman, the other party was the Crown Princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Not only did she take the initiative to meet Zhuo Mufeng, but she also said such ambiguous words. Zhuo Mufeng couldn't even think about it.
The scene of the other party joking with Qi Yuanhao flashed before his eyes, as well as his previous indifference. Zhuo Mufeng felt angry in his heart and said with a smile: "How many men have you said this to, and how many have you successfully deceived?"
He did not look at the expression of the demon concubine, but the room was silent for a long time. It was so long that Zhuo Mufeng thought that the demon concubine was leaving, and then he heard her proud laughter: "Little thief, it turns out you are jealous!"
Zhuo Mufeng was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He suddenly turned his head and happened to see the demon concubine's smile that made Baihua feel ashamed and her charming eyes. He immediately retorted: "You are self-righteous. I'm afraid you are thinking too much."
The demon concubine's smile faded and she sighed: "That day in Songya Garden, Gongyang Jin deliberately humiliated you. The reason why Zhilan didn't speak was because she was afraid of exposing your relationship and being noticed by Lu Jing, which would harm you. In the palace
At the banquet, you defeated Gong Yangjin, and Zhilan was even happier than you. Little thief, do you believe it?"
Zhuo Mufeng's heart was in turmoil, and he wanted to say he didn't believe it, but looking at the demon concubine's beautiful eyes that did not dodge, he couldn't say the cruel words for a while, so he had to hum and continue to stand proudly.
Su Zhilan asked him to sit down and talk, but she pretended not to hear anything and just said indifferently: "If you come to me just to talk about these useless nonsense, then I won't keep you company."
Su Zhilan whispered: "Zhilan's thoughts are useless in your heart, little thief?"
Zhuo Mufeng's expression did not change, neither admitting nor denying, giving people the impression of being as cold as iron.
The little maid outside the door heard anxiously, what's going on with this Young Master Zhuo? Your Majesty has expressed her feelings so obviously, why is he still clumsy like a piece of wood?
How many men in the world admired the empress, but the empress took huge risks just to ask him to meet here. In the end, this ruthless man looked indifferent, which was really annoying!
This time the room was silent for a long time.
Su Zhilan said: "The situation is unpredictable now. If there is no movement after tomorrow, Zhilan will have to leave. So today and tomorrow are the last opportunities for you and me to meet. Zhilan thought you wouldn't come, little thief."
."
These words almost made it clear that I have been waiting for you, but Mr. Zhuo still didn't respond. The little maid was so anxious that she wanted to push the door open and come in to see if this guy was missing any muscles. She held it back for a long time.
She is well aware of the situation of the empress these days. She finally expected Zhuo Mufeng to come, but with this result, it would be better not to come!
Everyone has dignity. What a status and arrogance the empress is. It is unprecedented for her to speak to this extent. If she still doesn't get a response, I'm afraid she will have no choice but to give up no matter how much she likes her.
The little maid had already anticipated what would happen next. She gritted her teeth and sighed secretly. It was in vain that she and the empress had been waiting for so many days. It was really not worth it for this kind of person!
The room was filled with unspeakable depression.
During a suffocating wait, Su Zhilan felt disheartened. When she opened her mouth, she suddenly heard the little thief's response: "What will happen to you if I don't come?"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Zhuo Mufeng immediately regretted it. Didn't this reveal his thoughts in disguise? He wanted to slap himself.
As expected, the demon concubine's eyes were bright again, and her face, which had been extremely gloomy, suddenly blossomed like a hundred flowers, and spring returned to the earth. It was so beautiful that the candlelight in the room lost its luster. It was a pity that the little thief did not see it.
The demon concubine smiled sweetly and said, "If you don't come, Zhilan will definitely hate you for the rest of her life, and then she will write a hundred scolding words for you every day until your conscience finds out."
The little thief snorted: "You scold me, how do I know?"
The demon concubine said proudly: "Zhilan will spread these words of scolding you throughout the world. Maybe people in the world don't know who is scolding you, but you will definitely know."
Zhuo Mufeng glared at Su Zhilan fiercely and sneered: "Okay, so you admit that during that time, you deliberately wrote those curse words in front of me to seduce me."
The demon concubine held her chin in her hands, looking as quiet and beautiful as an immortal under the candlelight, and said without blinking: "Yes, Zhilan is deliberately seducing you and trying to attract your attention. How are you going to punish Zhilan?"
A ball of fire surged up from Zhuo Mufeng's lower abdomen, causing his brain to explode. All sense and calmness were gone. Zhuo Mufeng could no longer remain indifferent to this situation.
He impulsively took a few steps and pulled Su Zhilan up from the chair. Before the demon concubine could scream, he had already put one hand on her back and the other around her waist. He lowered his head to block the source of the sound in advance.
A series of vague whining sounds sounded in the room.
When the little maid outside the door saw the silhouette on the door, she let out a low voice and hurriedly covered her face with her hands, but her fingers were widely spread apart. Her big eyes stared at the silhouette for a moment, and she soon turned red and embarrassed.
It's hard to describe the shame.
The movement in the room lasted for a full cup of tea before the little thief reluctantly let go of the demon concubine in his arms.
