The members of the Xuanming Sect outside the courtyard just looked forward with eager eyes, trying to see what was going on inside through the crack of the closed courtyard door.
Because Cui Yujin was in a hurry and suddenly closed the courtyard door tightly, it was difficult not to make people suspicious.
The ox-headed horses looked at each other, but they didn't know what Cui Fujun was doing inside.
What important matter can a mere tomb robber have to discuss?
Therefore, the two of them did not interfere with the low buzzing behind them. They just stared at each other and obeyed Cui Yu's order, waiting quietly outside the door.
Because of this, the old bustard in the Cuihong Building next to him was frightened.
These men blocked the alley, and the guests from outside could not get in. The guests inside were also clamoring to escape through the back door.
But I couldn’t care less...
At this moment, the double wooden courtyard door was suddenly opened a crack.
The Xuanming Cult team, which was originally a little noisy, fell silent in an instant.
"Master Fu..."
Seeing Cui Yu's figure walking out of the crack in the door that was only half closed, the bull-headed horse-faced man who was looking at each other instantly bowed to greet him.
The two of them were about to look through the crack in the door, but they saw Fujun coming out and covering the courtyard door with his hands.
Cui Yu's face was just gloomy and uncertain. She was stroking her beard with one hand and her narrow eyes were slightly closed.
Under the astonished gazes of the two brats with a bull's head and a horse's face, they muttered after a long time.
"Let's go, take your own people back."
Ma Mian was dumbfounded for a moment: "But Mr. Fu, those two suspicious people haven't been found yet..."
Cui Yu just squinted his eyes and said coldly: "What suspicious people! Those two people are actually members of my Xuanming Sect, but they are not your responsibility! Are you questioning my judgment?"
Being squinted by the majestic eyes, Ma Mian immediately shuddered, but Na Na did not dare to say anything more.
Niu Tou, however, wanted to be calmer, bowed and handed over his hand: "According to the Lord's words, how should we repay for our troop deployment this time?"
Cui Yu flicked her wide black gold sleeves, put her hands behind her hands and walked towards the alleyway.
"I will handle it on my own, just rest assured."
The remaining members of the Xuanming Sect just looked at each other. They had been busy for so long, but they ran away in vain?
Niutou patted Ma Mian's shoulder, but he quickly caught up with Cui Yu.
As an adult, I am always very strict with the people below me, but I have no choice but to endure it...
…………
Jin region, Taiyuan.
Unlike the other places in the south that suffered from the cold for free, this important city controlled by King Li Keyong of the Jin Dynasty had heavy snowfall early on.
The white snow covers the palace walls of blue bricks and black tiles.
The only remaining branches on a few small trees finally failed to bear the weight of the heavy snow and broke apart. Snowdrifts hit the floor made of bluestone, making a dull sound.
The palace man who was taking a nap in the corridor was instantly awakened by the noise. When he saw the snowdrift under the tree, he hurried up with a broom.
The light snowflakes falling straight down instantly covered the blue-gray palace clothes on his shoulders with white.
But the palace man could only endure the cold and trembled as he swept the snow aside.
A burst of soft footsteps came from the corridor behind him, and the palace man's ears perked up instantly, and he turned around to look hurriedly.
I saw a gray-white figure wearing a heavy cloak, surrounded by a group of actors with various makeup on their faces, turning from the corridor in the distance.
The octagonal palace lanterns under the eaves are hung with colorful ribbons, which further accentuates the strangeness of this group of people.
The figure in front of him who was wearing a heavy cloak also had heavy makeup on his face, but compared to the other actors, it was different.
Her cheeks were all white, and there were two bright red blushes on both sides of her mouth, which looked very strange.
But he is the servant of His Royal Highness, the Mirror Heart Demon.
The palace man hurriedly lowered his head, shook his body and shouted loudly from a distance.
"I've met the adults..."
However, the Mirror Heart Demon just kept his eyes open and walked along the corridor surrounded by actors.
From beginning to end, he didn't even look at the palace people.
After all, his status in the prince's palace of Jin Dynasty is second only to the prince Li Cunxu.
…
Under the heavy snow outside the corridor, the Mirror Heart Demon quickly led a group of actors outside a side hall.
Different from the quiet scenes in other parts of the Prince's Mansion, there were bursts of operatic sounds coming from the side hall.
The corners of Mirror Heart Demon's mouth raised slightly, and as he stretched out his hands, the palace attendant standing outside the palace door came over, took off the heavy cloak on his body, and then handed it over to another palace attendant who specialized in managing clothes.
Mirror Heart Demon's body bent slightly, a clown smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand to push open the palace door.
"Your Highness, do you think what the slave has brought you?"
In the side hall, under the baking of the furnace, there is a strong warmth.
Several small actors were singing the opera to the accompaniment of music behind the curtains on both sides.
Behind a rosewood arch in the hall, a young man wearing an actor's mask with his hair disheveled behind his head was just lazily leaning on the seat.
Hearing the voice of the actor singing opera being suddenly interrupted, the young man was not annoyed and just raised his head and looked towards the palace door.
The pair of eyes that were calm at first suddenly flashed when they saw the more delicate actors behind the Mirror Heart Demon.
The body that had been lazily leaning on the cushion also straightened up.
"Mirror Heart Demon, where did you find a good man for me?"
Different from the young man's tall and thin body, the sound coming out of his mouth was also the sound of Yi Ya like a opera singer.
His slender fingers also pinched an orchid finger.
But the temperament on his body is not as feminine as ordinary people's. It is just an aura of wealth and wealth that hits his face.
By this time, His Highness was ready to appear.
It was Li Cunxu, the legitimate son of King Li Keyong of Jin and the second-ranked prince of Jin among the thirteen eunuchs.
The Mirror Heart Demon smiled slightly, flashed to the side, and sang the same song.
"Your Highness, these are the actors from the Southern Tang Dynasty. They have been trained since childhood, and they all sing well..."
Li Cunxu was obviously very satisfied. He took off a pale blue actor's mask from the wooden pillar where a dozen masks were hung and covered it on his face.
"Mirror Heart Demon, go down to receive the reward later."
The Mirror Heart Demon took advantage of the situation and knelt down to bow.
"Small slave, thank you, Your Highness..."
Li Cunxu made a happy sound, but waved his hand, letting all the actors in the hall and the entrance of the hall exit together.
"Mirror Heart Demon, come forward. I have something important to discuss with you."
After hearing his words, the Mirror Heart Demon immediately stood up, and after all the actors came down one by one, he moved towards the arched bar.
The cold eyes behind Li Cunxu's mask suddenly turned cold.
"What's going on in Tongwen Hall recently?"
