The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 161: Strange Things in the Theater (9)

Chun Tao was very clear-headed and asked quickly, "Master Jing, do you mean that the scrolls you stole happened to record the history of Huajing and Xicheng?"

The others were startled, and then looked at Jing Chen. He was confident: "In order to force him to stop fabricating history, I specifically snatched away the part that was not so glorious for Huajing. This part is considered a top-secret record. There is a scroll in it, and the seal says 'Xicheng'."

"Great, that's it." Mu Hanxing was delighted. "Have you seen it? Do you have it with you?"

Jing Chen nodded: "Don't worry, I have these important items with me, but I haven't opened them yet."

After saying this, he looked a little lonely.

At this time, probably only Mu Hanxing could understand his expression.

Jing Chen loves his hometown very much. Along the way, he was angry at being abducted by a female devil at the beginning, and then he became eagerly looking forward to it after being trapped in Fuyue City. He hoped that the people of Huajing, whom he protected, would come to rescue him when he was in trouble. Even if he was unable to do so, he still wanted to do his best.

But later, he didn't wait, but what he waited for was that Emperor Ning ordered Funing to lead troops to attack the city, completely disregarding his life or death. He was officially declared to be a discarded pawn.

In this life, you are either a pawn or a discarded piece, and no one feels good about it.

Later, when he returned to Huajing, he learned that Emperor Ning was bewitched by treacherous ministers and was obsessed with coveting things that did not belong to him. He was not a wise man and was not virtuous. He was disappointed again and again. He beat up the historian and took away the volumes of books, which probably recorded the complaints of countless people, which were too numerous to list.

He didn't dare to open it, nor did he dare to look at it, for fear that he would see something he didn't want to know and then lose control and personally kill the emperor of his homeland.

"You didn't kill Emperor Ning, right?" Mu Hanxing asked.

Jingchen looked at her, his eyes filled with complicated emotions that he couldn't explain for a moment, so he nodded.

"How about this, give me the scroll from Xicheng, and I'll take a look." Mu Hanxing stretched out his hand.

Jing Chen stared at her intently. At this moment, he felt that he was a little pretentious and not as good as her. He thought for a while and said, "No need. Only children would deceive themselves and others. I will come to see it in person and will not hide anything from you."

She immediately withdrew her hand. She knew the principle of not employing people who are suspicious, and employing people without doubt, so she said generously: "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. It may not be good for us to act rashly in the dark sky. Moreover, I have read a lot of secret books given by my junior uncle. They all say that for evil spirits of this level, it is best to break the eye of the formation and dissipate its magic power first. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to deal with. My spirit core has not yet recovered completely, so it is not advisable to take risks. Therefore, I want to find a place in the city without a wellhead during the day tomorrow to reduce the range of the eye of the formation."

"City Lord, I'll go with you and help you calculate at any time." Gong Yu volunteered.

"Then I will continue to stay in the inn and take care of other ordinary people." Chuntao said.

Mu Hanxing nodded: "Okay, Gong Yu will follow me, Chun Tao will take care of the people in the inn, Jing Chen will study the scroll, and Feng Xiao? What do you think?"

Feng Xiao had already thought about it, and said: "I think there should be another reason to leave the city. I need to test it myself. If the guard agrees, we will send one person away first. I think we can only send one person away for one reason at a time."

Mu Hanxing frowned: "If I test it frequently, I'm afraid it will anger the guards. This is a gamble with my life and there are risks."

Feng Xiao shook his head: "I won't look for the same person. As far as I know, the city is roughly divided into four areas. The guards in each area are different, and the way they speak and answer questions are also different. I need to test them thoroughly."

Although she was a little worried, she could only rely on Feng Xiao. She nodded heavily and said, "Okay, then you should be careful. Let's recuperate tonight and prepare our spiritual and physical strength."

Everyone nodded.

Afterwards, Mu Hanxing whispered to Chuntao and the others about how the junior master was poisoned and needed an antidote, as well as some of the old stories of the Wenxin Sect, just as if she was complaining to her favorite minister.

After chatting until midnight, they prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.

At this time, a person who had quietly come down from the second floor to eavesdrop saw the people who were discussing on the first floor getting up to go back to their rooms, so he hurried back to his room.

There were still many vacant rooms in the inn, so each person chose a room and went in to rest.

Feng Xiao had just closed the door when he heard footsteps passing by. He thought it was the city lord who came to see him in the middle of the night. He showed a little joy on his face and quickly opened the door.

But as soon as the door opened, his face fell: "What's the matter?"

Standing outside the door was the young lady who looked like she was from an aristocratic family. She held a bag tightly in her hand and looked at Feng Xiao cautiously and asked, "Can I come in?"

Feng Xiao said coldly: "No."

The city lord lives next door to him. What if they are seen, alone with their partner in the middle of the night? How will he explain it?

She was startled, then lowered her voice and stood at the door to speak briefly: "I am Su Miaoying, the daughter of the imperial merchant of Ningguo. You can find out by asking around the Su family in Ningguo. I brought a lot of money with me this time, as well as a land deed. I want to make a deal with you."

When Feng Xiao heard that she was from Ning, she thought there might be other clues, so after thinking about it, she stepped back and let her in: "Come in and talk."

Once the door was closed, there was silence all around. A candle was lit in the room, but the light was very dim, making Feng Xiao's face look a little gloomy.

He said calmly, "You are from Ningguo? Do you know what happened between Ningguo and Xicheng?"

Su Miaoying was questioned by him first, but she had learned how to do business from her family since she was a child, and everything was about the exchange of interests, so she did not answer him. She kept it a secret and said, "I can tell you about Ningguo and Xicheng, and I will give you all the silver and land deeds in my hand, but in exchange, you must take Xiaoli and me with you tomorrow. If there is only one chance to leave the city every day, you have to give it to us tomorrow. Anyway, you are so capable, and you can find a way to get a new password to leave the city the day after tomorrow."

Feng Xiao's eyes darkened: "Have you been eavesdropping from behind?"

Su Miaoying had a calm expression and looked at him calmly.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you heard it." Feng Xiao said coldly.

It turned out that the daughter of the imperial merchant wanted to use money and land deeds to exchange for the opportunity to escape first. If someone heard it, she would probably be targeted by others, right? She also wanted to follow him in person, because she was afraid that the password he gave her to leave the city would be false? How shrewd she was.

Feng Xiao thought about it for a while, and then asked her funny question: "But if only one person can leave the city every day, who will leave first, you or your maid?"

This question really made Su Miaoying hesitate for a moment.
