Daisy Assassin

"Xiao Fei, do you know the way back?" The housekeeper took a deep breath and threw away the rope in his hand.This night pearl was given to the empress by the former emperor, and given to herself by the empress later so that she can take care of her when she gets up at night.As for the reason for this reward, it is too complicated.

"I don't know the way." Meng Xiaofei shook his head naturally, let alone in this completely unfamiliar place, he could get lost even at the door of his own house.Nature cannot lead the way.

"My lord, what are you looking at?" Seeing Meng Xiaofei's bewildered face, the butler was a little troubled, obviously not intending to ask his lord to help.But looking at Bai Yanting, he stared blankly at the front and said.

However, Baiyan Pavilion was attracted by one of the cave entrances, and saw that there seemed to be something radiant inside: "There seems to be something shining in that cave."

"It can't be the eyes of the mountain ghost." Meng Xiaofei took a deep breath and said, this mountain beast is no easier to deal with than humans, those guys are all desperate beasts!

"I don't know." Bai Yanting shook his head, seemed to be planning to go in directly, but suddenly stopped and turned to ask the two of them, "Why don't we go in and have a look?"

"I'll go in first, the butler is behind me, and you are behind the butler." Meng Xiaofei felt that there was no way to find the way back anyway, so he simply followed Bai Yanting's instructions, and maybe he could make a fortune hunting for treasure.

"My lord, stand in the middle." The housekeeper always favored Bai Yanting, so he naturally let Bai Yanting stand in the safest seat.This kind of natural reaction can be regarded as a kind of slavishness, after all, there is still something about the butler who has been a servant protecting the master all his life.

"No, you stand in the middle, if those things attack from behind, I can still protect you." Bai Yanting directly rejected the butler's words, directly and Meng Xiaofei are both strong young men, only the butler is old and put the butler in danger I will feel sorry for myself.

"The old man is fine!" the housekeeper said persistently.Feeling the only light source in one hand, he stood proudly in front of the two of them.

"You call yourself an old man, and you still want to be brave?" Bai Yanting directly pulled the housekeeper in front of him and said.

"Let's go." Meng Xiaofei stood at the entrance of the cave spontaneously early on, drew out the dagger at his waist, and walked forward slowly against the cave wall cautiously.

"Wait a minute." Bai Yanting stopped Meng Xiaofei's movements.

"What do you want to do?" Meng Xiaofei asked impatiently.

"You take my sword, what's the use of your little dagger." Bai Yanting pulled out the saber from his waist and handed it to Meng Xiaofei.

"I don't know how to use a sword, you should protect yourself well." Meng Xiaofei glanced at the shining sword, a little surprised but more puzzled.

Meng Xiaofei insisted on refusing to take the sword, Bai Yanting had no choice but to follow behind.

Walking steeply all the way up, the road surface is potholed, and small stones are kicked from time to time.Several people had to hold on to the cave wall and walk forward slowly.

"Crack." Meng Xiaofei stepped on a small column-like thing on the ground.The silent tunnel immediately echoed the sound.

"What is this?" Meng Xiaofei lowered his head and looked at a bone under his feet.

Bai Yanting stepped forward to check and saw the skeleton lying on the cave wall, the butler held up the night pearl at the right time to shine a light on the skeleton.But he looked at the dead body in a strange manner, and the bones of his legs were covered by a Taoist robe.

"Could it be the Taoist priest who came here to do what Mung Dou said and didn't come back alive?" Meng Xiaofei said as soon as he saw the Taoist robe, he thought of the story Mung Dou told.

"Look, his bones are pitch-black, and he died of poisoning." The butler looked at the skeleton, and then said after taking a closer look.The bone was rotten and clean, without a trace of rotten flesh on the bone, but some dead bee-like insect corpses fell around.

"This mountain ghost can still poison?" Meng Xiaofei was very surprised when he heard the butler's words.If the beasts in this mountain can even use poison, wouldn't it be impossible for him to protect himself!

"The mountain ghost's claws are powerful enough. What are they poisoning for? Your expectations for these things are too high." Bai Yanting, however, did not have that frivolous look, but squatted down to use it with a serious face. The sword in his hand peeled off the Taoist priest's clothes.

"Since that's the case, then this person followed the mountain ghost in, and then died of poison?" Meng Xiaofei blinked his eyes after hearing Bai Yanting's words, and then guessed.

"It's also possible that it was poisoned in this hole." Bai Yanting did use the hairpin on his head to cover the robe, poking down some jerky that looked like it had been dried by the wind.Seeing the silver hairpin turning black.

"Why are you so sure?" Meng Xiaofei is not a fast-track detective, so he naturally felt that this was just a skeleton that died in an accident.As for how he died, Meng Xiaofei couldn't tell at all.

"I agreed to let my aunt invite this person to the mansion to do it." Bai Yanting took out a piece of silver fruit from the bag under the humanitarian robe.The bottom of the fruit is engraved with a word "Yong", which looks like a peach.This was given to Bai Yanting by the palace for his birthday, and was later used to reward this Taoist priest to work hard and put down rumors.Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest absconded with the money even though the haunted rumors were still alive.

"Then you watched him come in with your own eyes?" Meng Xiaofei muttered to himself as he looked at Bai Yanting's dark face.

"I was on a tour at the time, not in the capital." Bai Yanting just glanced at Meng Xiaofei, and then began to look at the figure of the Taoist priest carefully. All the flesh outside the clothes of the Taoist priest was gone, and the body covered by the clothes The covered place turned into jerky.Although there was no sign of being bitten by a ferocious beast, there were dense insect eyes on the bone.It's no wonder that Meng Xiaofei stepped on his leg bone and broke it.

"Your concubine is dead, why don't you come to the funeral?" Meng Xiaofei was still reeling in Mung Dou's story.

"I just took that woman back because I saw how pitiful that woman was. I didn't think he would escape death." Bai Yanting didn't raise his brows, but carefully observed the Taoist robe covering the Taoist priest's body.The Taoist robe was extremely fragile, like chaff.But looking at this style of material, it should be a new style in the past few years, and it is more than that.

"It has nothing to do with you that that woman is not a concubine?" Meng Xiaofei looked at Bai Yanting's unfeeling and ungrateful appearance, and looked down into Bai Yanting's eyes.

"He is the woman I sworn brother to, how could I have anything to do with her! Besides, why am I explaining so much to you, he is just an assassin." Bai Yanting did not go to see Meng Xiaofei, but stretched out his hand to pat Meng Xiaofei's head aside , Then carefully flipped through the things in the Taoist bag, and some yellow bottles containing sulfur were empty and scattered aside.
