The villain has been playing badly for ten years

As the sky gradually darkened, the hustle and bustle in one corner of the downtown area gradually died down, but the lights in the restaurants were still brightly lit.

At the entrance, there is a row of green bamboos, and the bamboo leaves sway in the wind.

The three of them found a corner to sit down and ordered a table full of delicious dishes, as well as tea, fruits and snacks.

Hua Jianbai kept asking, "Xiaoxiao, weren't you in the Forbidden Palace? How did you escape?"

Hu Xiaoxiao just said: "I met a strange man in prison, and he brought me out of the Forbidden Palace."

"Who is that person?"

"All I know is that he is a Yanren, and he entrusted me with a task."

Yanren...

Ning Xiusu looked at Hu Xiaoxiao: "What's the matter?"

"I promised him, I can't tell you now."

Ning Xiusu was originally suspicious and wanted to ask further questions.

Hanamizuki said quickly, "Then why are you here acting like a charlatan?"

"I am a fugitive and cannot return to Dayan, but I need to make a living."

Hu Xiaoxiao spoke softly, tenderly, tenderly and melodiously.

"That's why I found a few of my own kind and used the guise of a snake fairy. But, this was also a last resort."

Ning Xiusu pressed down the lid of his teapot. "Miss Xiaoxiao is very clever. Disasters often plague Nanzhao. Making porridge with sorghum and minced meat may not cure illness, but it will at least fill your stomach. Of all the diseases in the world, hunger is the most difficult to cure..."

As she listened to Ning Xiusu's words, she suddenly corrected him, "Your Majesty, my name is Youlai, not Xiaoxiao."

Ning Xiusu was interrupted, but he didn't get angry. He continued, "It doesn't matter what the girl's name is. What's important is that this Yangluo fruit grows in bitter and cold places. Besides repelling insects, it can also strengthen those who have been ill for a long time."

He looked at Hu Xiaoxiao, his eyes full of gentle smile, but with an undetectable deep inquiry in them.

"Yangluo fruit is not easy to pick, and it doesn't belong to Nanzhao or Dayan. Did that Yanren give it to you?"

"No."

“…Is that the Poison King?”

"..."

Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly fell silent.

Hua Jianbai was completely confused and could only ask, "Xiaoxiao, do you have any secrets that you are deliberately hiding from us?"

"I promised the person who saved me not to tell."

"Oh, there's nothing we can't say. We are friends after all."

Hu Xiaoxiao said, "Hua Gongzi, although you saved me, it seems like we just met by chance. What's more, I really don't remember you."

Well, in that case, Ning Xiu Sushun interrupted and asked:

"You should know the Poison King of Black Prison Mountain. I wonder if he has ever looked for you..."

"It's been a long time since I've been with him, Your Majesty. Why are you asking this?"

"Xiao..." Hua Jianbai saw that she seemed unhappy, so he changed the subject and said, "You Lai, do you know anything about Gu?"

She nodded in acknowledgment, "I was in prison, and that strange man taught me a little, but not much."

Hua Jianbai said: "Many people in Nanzhao are infected with poisonous insects. Why don't you come back to the residence with us and help me take care of my nephew."

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't know who he was talking about, so she just said, "I'm a fugitive, and that kind of place..."

"Oh, that's easy. You've already put out your sign, so why not just put on the mask?"

As Hua Jianbai was speaking, he suddenly spread his hands towards Ning Xiusu and asked for something.

Ning Xiusu was stunned for a moment before realizing that he wanted money. He took off the purse from his waist.

Hua Jianbai pointed at the purse and said, "You want money? I'll hire you to see a doctor. That's fine, right?"

……

The moonlight is like water, the evening breeze is hot and humid, and there are faint chirping of insects.

The lanterns in the building were still lit, and many officials had not rested and were even still busy.

In the small courtyard, Luo Buzhi and Li Ji were coming and going, holding a lot of heavy registers and files, looking a little hurried.

Ning Xiusu happened to be walking towards him, so he stopped and called out, "Your Highness."

Ning Xiusu took a step forward and asked casually:

"Has your Lord Meng not returned yet?"

"Your Highness, Lord Meng is still in the government office. There was a fire in the warehouse today and some problems occurred."

Ning Xiusu was slightly startled. How could a fire break out out of nowhere?

His eyes fell on those registers and found that they were all related to the mine. As expected, they seemed to have been burned and had some damage.

First, the young ghosts attacked, and then the government office caught fire. I'm afraid someone doesn't want the matter of the mine to be made public.

He was thinking, when he saw several clerks hurriedly carrying a shrine box, and then they walked away with Luo Buzhi, saying to themselves:

"Minister Luo, today is quite good. We have been able to salvage quite a few pieces of evidence."

As they were talking, they busied themselves walking away.

Li Ji, leading a few officials, was heading behind Ning Xiusu when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Hua Jianbai leading a woman through the corridor.

The woman's face was completely covered by a mask, which had an extremely delicate butterfly pattern outlined on it, and tiny tassels hung down by her ears.

Li Ji was stunned when he saw it: "Guardian Hua, who is this?"

Hua Jianbai said anxiously, "Oh, the miraculous doctor in Jianghu, I asked her to come and see Pu Boyu."

As he spoke, he led Hu Xiaoxiao into the corridor, around the bamboo leaves, and into a room.

Although the officials were surprised when they saw this, they thought it was Guard Hua who came, so they didn't say anything.

Ning Xiusu then went to Pu Boyu's place, but since it was for treatment, if there were too many people in the room, it would only be crowded.

He stood outside the house and walked slowly to the lotus pond. His eyes fell on the water. Under the moonlight, he saw three or two very tiny fish swimming by.

Ning Xiusu always felt that something was amiss, including Hu Xiaoxiao's appearance, which seemed too coincidental...

Just as he was thinking, a silly laugh suddenly came from his ears.

"hey-hey."

Miemie came back at some point, and her footsteps seemed to reach him silently.

Ning Xiusu was surprised for a moment: "Mie Mie, where have you been these days?"

Perhaps because she heard the question, Miemie raised the corner of her mouth towards Ning Xiusu.

"Play."

"Where's your uncle?"

"Retreat."

Ning Xiusu quickly asked, "Is Senior Chen injured?"

Miemie shook her head, "All the evil ones have run away, hehe..."

Ning Xiusu always felt that the symptoms of this little girl's madness were similar to those of Pu Boyu.

"Mie Mie, give me your hand."

She put her fingers in her mouth and raised her other arm.

Ning Xiusu just took the pulse and found that the beating was clearly unstable, sometimes intermittent, sometimes rapid.

I couldn't help but be slightly startled...

Why do I also have the symptoms of taking Shifang Xuejie?

This spirit is formed by the gathering of souls. Although it has entered the ghost path, it is not a ghost. It just has no shadow under the sun, and its physique is different from that of ordinary people, so it should not have this kind of pulse.

Miemie noticed that the man had his fingers on his wrist, as if he was touching it.

She also imitated the movements, and suddenly turned her wrist and grabbed the other person's wrist.

Ning Xiusu had no idea this was going to happen. It felt a bit inappropriate so late at night, and he was about to pull his hand back.

"Destroy!"

Hanamibai saw the little girl from a distance and was originally very happy, but who knew he would see the next scene.

He came over aggressively, his eyebrows furrowed: "Ning Xiusu, what are you doing?"

"Uh, I found something... odd."

Ning Xiusu seemed a little panicked for no reason.

"Lord, who is she?"

Miemie suddenly pointed at the masked woman behind Hua Jianbai.

Hua Jianbai seemed a little angry: "Little girl, let me ask you, where is Old Man Chen?"

"Retreat."

"Why are you in seclusion when all is well?"

Hua Jianbai asked again and again, but Miemie just smiled at people foolishly.

"Why does she also have heart problems..."

Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly said something softly from behind, and the voice sounded like she was talking to herself.

Heartache...

Obviously, Hu Xiaoxiao was talking about the collapse of spiritual consciousness.

Ning Xiusu asked, "You mean, she was also a lawful person before?"

Hu Xiaoxiao said, "The one who saved me also said this, but I don't quite remember what a lawful person is."

Hanamibai has been in the domain for too long, and his mind is very confused, so he really can't figure out these things.

If Miemie is an orderly person, then she must be a time traveler, but she has never considered herself to be one. Isn't this the same as Hu Xiaoxiao?

"You all have this problem, why am I fine?"

As he asked the question, he heard a loud "bang", which seemed to come from Pu Boyu's room.

Everyone was startled and rushed into Pu Boyu's room.
