"Why is it so dark? Where are the people?"
A drunken voice sounded, and it sounded like it was a young man.
At this time, the candlelight in the hall had already been blown out by Xia Luotong, and the situation in the hall was covered in darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Sir, look, he's already lying on the soft couch waiting for you!"
A flattering voice sounded, it was the voice of the little eunuch Xia Luotong heard just now.
After the little eunuch helped the drunken young master into the side hall, he glanced around in the weak moonlight and immediately saw a figure in red on the soft couch. Although his face was not clear, he was definitely the target. The character is correct.
The little eunuch smiled sinisterly and pushed the young master, urging: "Young master, go quickly, don't keep the beauty waiting."
Having said that, the little eunuch immediately left the side hall, closed the door behind him, and did not leave. Instead, he carefully placed his ear on the door, preparing to eavesdrop and confirm that everything was done before leaving.
Xia Luotong's five senses were already sharp. Now in the darkness, after closing his eyes, he could hear all the subtle noises around him. He also knew that there were only himself and the drunken young master in the palace at this time. .
Thin footsteps sounded, which sounded a bit hollow, and they gradually approached her, followed by the strong smell of alcohol.
"Haha, beauty..."
Before the visitor finished speaking, Xia Luotong suddenly opened his eyes, sat up suddenly, and waved his hand at the young master who was approaching, and some fine powder was swayed out through his wide sleeves.
"boom!"
There was a sound of flesh hitting the ground. It wasn't loud, but it was painful enough.
Xia Luotong looked coldly at the young master lying on the ground, and suddenly found that he looked familiar. After careful recall, he finally remembered the identity of this man.
Isn't it Yang Hong'an, the young master of the Yang family who has a very bad reputation in Beijing? Under Jiang Xin's instigation, she attempted to tease her in the street, and it was because of that incident that she met Xi Menghan, who came to her rescue.
Even she had heard about Yang Hongan's bad reputation. She didn't expect to meet this man again today, so there was no need for her to be polite.
Xia Luotong waved her hand again, and a strange fragrance filled the air. The aphrodisiac fragrance she prepared was much better than the one in the teapot!
The dose of the drug she had just given was not large. Yang Hongan would wake up soon, and when he woke up, he would fall into the aphrodisiac fragrance he had planted again.
The smell of this aphrodisiac will last for a period of time in the air. During this period, anyone who enters this side hall will be infected.
The people who will enter the side hall at this time are most likely from Xu Caidi and He Jingyao. As for Lindong who may return, Xia Luotong is not worried that she will be tricked.
Lindong's own internal strength is very good, and it is possible to temporarily suppress the effect of the medicine. What's more, Xia Luotong has prepared antidote pills for her and asked her to carry them with her. Such ordinary medicine has the power to detoxify. Pills are enough to resist.
Glancing at Yang Hongan lying on the ground, Xia Luotong didn't even think about moving him to the bed, so he just let him lie there like this.
He quietly stood up and walked silently to the palace door. In the moonlight outside the room, Xia Luotong saw the sneaky black figure clinging to the palace door. It should be the little eunuch just now.
I didn't hear the sound of locking again just now, so the palace door should not be locked at this moment.
Xia Luotong raised a silent sneer, suddenly raised his hands, and pushed open the palace door!
"boom!"
There was another crash, followed by a painful cry of "Ouch!"
The little eunuch who was originally lying on the palace door was hit on the head by the sudden opening of the door. He lost his center of gravity and fell backwards to the ground.
He touched his forehead and was about to look up to see what was going on, but he only had time to see a man in red clothes. Before he could even see the person clearly, his vision went dark and he fainted completely.
Xia Luotong looked down at the little eunuch who was completely unconscious, and he had an idea in his eyes.
She turned around and closed the palace door, then she slowly dragged the little eunuch into the woods nearby.
This little eunuch might know something, even a little clue, so she had to keep a close eye on this person and wait until Lin Dong came back.
The side hall is surrounded by small woods. It is not very dense, but in this dark night, it is a good cover. People can easily hide themselves when entering it.
The grove is not big, with some gravel mixed in as a landscape. I don’t know where the other side of the woods leads.
Xia Luotong spotted the largest piece of gravel in the forest, which could completely cover her and the little eunuch's figures. As she was dragging it there, suddenly there was a loud noise from outside the forest on the other side.
Xia Luotong frowned and saw a lot of swaying lights and shadows. It was obvious that someone was walking back and forth outside the forest with a lantern.
She didn't know what was going on outside, but she must not be discovered. The little eunuch she was dragging on her hand was still useful.
She exerted all her strength and stepped a little faster. Her body's strength was still too weak. If she hadn't deliberately strengthened her training recently, she might not even be able to drag the little eunuch away.
After finally dragging the little eunuch behind the gravel, before Xia Luotong could take a breath, a strong wind hit behind him.
Someone!
She never thought that there was someone else behind the rubble!
Before he had time to think about it, Xia Luotong's body reacted subconsciously. He almost instantly avoided the attack from behind. At the same time, his body made a half-turn and went around to the side and rear of the person behind him. Without waiting for that person to attack again, After making a move, a silver needle with cold light was pressed against the man's neck.
Only then did Xia Luotong see this man's appearance clearly, but his eyes were full of surprise.
Still a child?
The man who had just tried to sneak attack him, but who was now stiff and afraid to move, was a thin young man who looked about ten years old. His clothes were old and ill-fitting, and he looked a little strange no matter how he looked at them. .
He is said to be a teenager, but in Xia Luotong's eyes, he is just a child. He is so thin and small, and he knows that his life is not good. Moreover, if he were at this age in modern times, he would really be a child.
"Don't move around, or something will happen, but don't blame me." Although the other party is still young, Xia Luotong will not despise him because of this.
After hearing Xia Luotong's words, the young man didn't give any reaction, but he also didn't make any other resistance move, he just stood quietly.
Xia Luotong's eyes glanced at the young man's clenched fists, moved slightly, walked around to the side of the young man, and saw his face clearly.
