The villain has been playing badly for ten years

Outside, a crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the night breeze was cool. As soon as Dan Yulang left the wing room, three people hurried in to inquire.

Ning Xiusu looked at Hua Jianbai's concern, which didn't seem fake at all. He couldn't help but wonder, if he was a martial artist with great martial arts skills, why would he go through so much trouble to deal with him?

On the contrary, the one who didn't know what was going on was the real weird one.

When Hanamibai saw Liu Erlang leave the room, the prince fell silent and asked curiously, "Big villain, have you been made mute?"

Ning Xiusu asked in return, "How did I fall into the lake today?"

"Who knows you? You suddenly went berserk, smashed someone's Xianrenzui, and then jumped in. That's not right..." Hua Jianbai looked at him: "You don't have any recollection of it at all?"

Pu Boyu spread his hands and said, "This matter has caused quite a stir. Now there are rumors that you are possessed by evil spirits."

Ning Xiusu was embarrassed: "Then who pulled me out?"

Hu Xiaoxiao reminded softly, "It's Dan Yulang."

It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but as soon as she did, she got angry. "Hua Jianbai, so you were just watching the fun from the boat, right?"

After hearing what he said, Hua Jianbai shrugged and said, "You can't blame me. You know I'm a good swimmer. Besides, with your physique, you don't need anyone to worry about you in the water, okay?"

"..."

Ning Xiusu felt that what he said seemed to make sense.

Hu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw the moon frost falling, so she tried to smooth things over and said, "Since the prince is fine, let's enjoy the moon together tonight."

Hua Jianbai was displeased: "It's not the fifteenth, why are you admiring the moon?"

"Sister Xiao Hu, if they don't go, we will go." Pu Boyu responded happily.

Ning Xiusu's clothes were stained with moon frost. Suddenly, he thought of something and his eyes fell on the side of Hua Jianbai's face: "Oh, there's something I need you to do."

"What?"

Hua Jianbai turned around and saw Ning Xiusu handing him the time travel manual.

"Please help me return this thing, otherwise those old stubborn people in the underworld will use this as an excuse to make trouble."

Despite the kind words, Hua Jianbai still raised his chin and looked down on people arrogantly: "Am I your subordinate? I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"

This guy only responds to soft words and doesn't take hard words, so Ning Xiusu had no choice but to soften his tone: "Of course not, I owe you a favor."

Hua Jianbai folded his hands and said, "You owe me a favor, and you must pay it back in the future!"

Ning Xiusu sighed, as if to agree, and Hua Jianbai then took the booklet.

He ran very fast. After a few jumps, he disappeared into the night. Only Hu Xiaoxiao and Pu Boyu were left in the pavilion in the backyard to watch the moon.

After a whole day of hard work, Ning Xiusu was really tired, so he yawned and went back to the east bedroom alone.

As soon as Ning Xiusu returned to the bedroom, he changed into a silk robe with a very fine drape, lay down on the soft couch, and looked at the key.

The faint chirping of insects penetrated the window lattice. Under a glass lamp, the fingers were stained with the color of candlelight, and the keys also shone brightly.

But if you look closely, you can see that it is clearly made of old copper, and there are hollow dark patterns engraved on the handle. It can't be said to be ordinary, but it is extremely strange.

Ning Xiusu was completely baffled, wondering why Dan Yulang had given me a key. And why had he even invited me to Wuzipo? In the novel, that Wuzipo was a mass grave...

I don’t know if it’s a scam. Should I go or not?

He was struggling with his thoughts when suddenly the door was pushed open with a "whoosh". He was startled and saw Pu Boyu running into the room in a panic and pulling him away without saying a word.

"What's the matter?"

"Oh no, Sister Xiao Hu is going crazy again!"

Ning Xiusu had no choice but to put the key in the drawer, grabbed a thin cloak and put it on, then hurried out of the bedroom.

Following a sharp scream, he and Pu Boyu quickly walked to the backyard.

In the dim shadows, I saw Hu Xiaoxiao standing next to the pavilion, with her black hair loose and the green scales on her body rising again.

The guards gathered around her in a commotion. She formed her five fingers into claws and swung them out with strong winds and waves, instantly creating a gap. Then she touched the water in the pond with her feet, stepped on the lotus leaves, and flew up to stand on the roof.

She seemed to be looking for someone, and suddenly looked in the direction of Pu Boyu with her white pupils, and attacked him without saying a word. Pu Boyu screamed "Ah!" and hid in the bushes.

Hu Xiaoxiao immediately changed the target of her attack, and with her sharp claws, she rushed straight towards Ning Xiusu. In this busy situation, there was no place to hide, and it was a terrifying moment.

Suddenly there was a "bang" sound, and it was a wine gourd that blocked her hook.

The man who came was as strong as an ox, wearing plain clothes and with yellow hair. It turned out to be Li Ba. Ning Xiusu was overjoyed when he saw him and asked, "Why is Mr. Li here?"

His eyes were gleaming as he spoke loudly, "I was just passing by. I never imagined the palace would be so bustling today!"

When the guards saw Li Ba, they suddenly became energetic and surrounded Hu Xiaoxiao again.

"Get out of here, you blind pawn!" Hu Xiaoxiao looked around and cursed coldly.

"It's over, it's over. Sister Xiao Hu is sick and my aunt is not here. What should we do?" Pu Boyu curled up in the bushes and shivered, muttering to himself.

Ning Xiusu walked steadily, but he was very nervous inside. However, he was in charge of the palace and could not show any fear.

"Xiaoxiao, are you used to resting in this mansion these days?"

He looked at Hu Xiaoxiao, hoping that she could remember something and restrain her murderous intent.

But Hu Xiaoxiao was now mentally disturbed and said coldly: "I am the Second Palace Master Meng Ke, not some Xiaoxiao!"

"Okay, Second Palace Master, it's really hard for you to talk from such a high place. Why not go to such lengths and fight? Why don't you just sit down and talk?"

"I remember you," she tilted her head and glanced at the people below, as if she remembered something: "Your cakes are delicious..."

"There's plenty more if you want to eat."

"Really?" Unexpectedly, she smiled coldly: "Cakes are only sweet when paired with human blood!"

After she finished speaking, she swung out her claws, and her five fingers, like hooked blades, dug towards Ning Xiusu's eyes.

Ning Xiusu was horrified and tilted his head back. As he dodged it narrowly, a gust of cold wind blew past his ears.

Hu Xiaoxiao turned her wrist covered with blue scales, and her nails just happened to scratch her cheek, leaving a bloody mark and burning pain.

Li Ba watched the excitement from the sidelines and said, "I wonder how the prince's hidden mistress will end now?"

Ning Xiusu didn't care about his manners and scrambled to hide behind him: "Master Li, please help me!"

Li Ba's drunken fist was famous throughout the martial arts world. He was a man of honor. He swung his fist and hooked the opponent's attack, suddenly blocking Hu Xiaoxiao's claws. Hu Xiaoxiao swung out a wave of air like crazy.

The wine gourd turned 180 degrees in the air like a weapon, and suddenly knocked Hu Xiaoxiao away with a "bang".

Hu Xiaoxiao struggled for a few times, but was unable to get up from the ground. Li Ba was about to step forward when suddenly a sharp frost blew in the air, and someone came with a silver light in his hand.

Li Ba quickly threw out the wine gourd, and with another "bang" sound, the wine gourd broke into two pieces. He couldn't help but be horrified: "The sky and water are cold!"

This is the name of a sword. According to the setting in the novel, the owner of this sword should be Ning Xiusu.

But... he has given up. Tian Shuihan now belongs to Fang Jinchuan, but how could Fang Jinchuan, who is already the emperor, appear here?

Could it be Fang Xingye, the eldest son of the male and female protagonists?

When Ning Xiusu looked up, he saw a young boy who was still childish falling from the sky.

With his hair tied up with a golden crown and dressed in a black gold robe with a red cloud edge, he looks luxurious on the surface. Except for a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, he looks like a replica of the male and female protagonists.

What does this little brat eat to grow so fast?

Ning Xiusu silently counted on his fingers, adding the time he was not outside the Great Wall, thirteen years... That's right.

He was no less shocked than Li Ba. After all, even passers-by in this remote area were in chaos, so the situation in Beijing wouldn't be in chaos as well!

Fang Xingye seemed to have a somewhat domineering temperament. When he met his uncle who had lived outside the Great Wall for a long time, he did not even observe the court etiquette.

He just raised his eyebrows slightly and opened his mouth to ask for someone: "I want to take this woman away."

Ning Xiusu scrambled to his feet in a panic: "...Uh, what do you mean?"

"I'm not here to ask for your permission."

Well, he is just as tough as his parents, but if I really let him take the person away, how am I going to explain it to Hanamibai?

Ning Xiusu complained inwardly, but he smiled and said, "Alas, my nephew, why are you so distant? After all, I'm your fifth uncle..."

He interrupted rudely: "Fifth Imperial Uncle has caused chaos outside the Great Wall. These matters should be handed over to Tianzhao Mansion."

Ning Xiusu then discovered that the little brat had the token of Tianzhao Mansion hanging around his waist.

The so-called Tianzhao Prefecture is the law enforcement agency of the imperial capital, which takes on cases from all over the country. Once upon a time, he was exiled to the border because he beat up the previous Tianzhao Prefecture governor.

It seems that Fang Xingye is already an official with real power at such a young age... What else can he say? Ning Xiusu could only watch him take the person away.

Pu Boyu tutted his lips beside him: "The characters in this novel are really impressive."

Li Ba recovered and continued, "What novel are you talking about?"

Ning Xiusu quickly changed the subject and asked him, "Master Li, why isn't Divine Doctor Yin with you?"

"He was summoned to the capital, saying someone had a heart attack that seemed similar to the one suffered by the Three Flowers Temple."

Ning Xiusu was startled when he heard this, and pretended to chat casually asked, "Oh, what a coincidence, then who is the one who is sick?"

"She seems to be the daughter of Prince Sheng, only five years old. But for some reason, she suddenly became speechless and appears to be mentally retarded."

He is only five years old, about the same age as the young emperor, so how could he have a heart disease?

Ning Xiusu wanted to ask more, but Li Ba waved his hand and said, "I don't know about those palace affairs."

After chatting for a while, I couldn't get any useful information. I guess it has nothing to do with Hu Xiaoxiao's arrest.

Li Ba was also bored. Seeing that nothing was happening in the palace, he clasped his fists and asked him for some good wine.

Ning Xiusu had no choice but to give up a few pots of Liutingzui. He took a few sips, grinning from ear to ear, and when he left, he did not forget to praise the man for his good reputation.

Ning Xiusu understood. It seemed that Li Ba's coming here was not a coincidence. If he did not return the booklet today, he would probably not help.
