Seeing that there was no one around, Qi Xiaotong asked calmly: "Uncle Huang, do you know why I need to help you out today, niece?"
Huang Fei's answer was honest, and he directly said what was in his heart: "You, what else can you do? You must be asking for something from me."
"Requesting is just one of them. In addition, there is another reason. That is, with Uncle Huang's sanctimonious image, it is a pity not to wear a long gown." Xiaotong said with a smile that seemed to be true.
Huang Fei took a look at the robe he was wearing and said: "To tell you the truth, Uncle Yu, I was originally a martial artist, but since I followed your father, I have gradually become tainted with the aura of ink. However, I also have self-awareness. Although I appear to be a suave person, I am still far from being a true moral gentleman, so I am not worthy of being sanctimonious."
After a pause, Lao Huang said calmly: "Girl, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. What does it have to do with you whether I wear a robe or not?"
Qi Xiaotong smiled and said: "That's right. I have a special guest who needs a shrewd and capable person to assassinate him, and Uncle Huang, you are just right. If you don't wear a robe, how can you show etiquette?"
oh? What level of guest is it?
You actually need me, Lao Huang, to take action in person?
Although he hasn't asked his name yet, he has already guessed that this guest is not simple.
Why do ordinary people need to calculate like this?
"I wonder who this distinguished guest is?"
"No one else but the king of Korea!"
What? Want me to pay homage to Lord Bangzi?
The relationship between them and Dafeng has been at loggerheads. If I go to visit them, wouldn't I be suspected of collaborating with the enemy?
Qi Xiaotong shook his head and said: "Uncle Huang is not an outsider. He has some inside information. I will tell you about it."
"What's the inside story? Tell me quickly!" Huang Fei couldn't bear his curiosity and asked hurriedly.
"Is such that……"
"..."
Next, Qi Xiaotong briefly told Huang Fei his plan to go north, cutting out the details.
She also made no reservations about the military arrangements and spoke frankly.
"Oh...it turns out you were using the gimmick of seeing off a bride as a cover to secretly rescue her!"
"There is nothing I can do. My father insists on doing this. How can I not cooperate?"
What Qi Xiaotong said was the truth in his heart.
She didn't attach much importance to the emperor's life or death, but her father's orders could not be violated and must be strongly supported.
After hearing the explanation, Huang Fei praised the eldest lady for being filial and sensible, and his flattering laughter kept ringing his ears.
However, the next second, his smile couldn't help but crack.
Xiaotong deliberately told herself the secret. Doesn't that mean that he was forced to board her pirate ship?
In this way, it is impossible to refuse.
However, Huang Fei was able to take it and put it down.
Since he couldn't get in the way, he simply faced it calmly: "Miss, you asked me to pay homage to the King of Korea. I don't know why you beat me?"
Xiaotong said: "The reason for my happy event is the beginning."
"How...how do you say this?"
"First of all, you have to figure out my identity. For Goryeo, I am not only the eldest lady of the Qi family, but also the founding head of the country of Great China. My majestic monarch is going north to get married, can you not give them a wedding candy? "
Huang Fei scratched his head and said, "Is this appropriate?"
"Of course it's appropriate!" Qi Xiaotong first affirmed, and then explained: "Unlike Da Feng, I, Dahua, have not had an enmity with Goryeo, and have even opened up trade in timber with each other. Such a good Since we have diplomatic relations, how can I not offer some wedding candies?"
Having said this, Huang Fei suddenly understood.
When going to give wedding gifts, you must wear a simple and elegant robe, and you must not end up dressing up. It is no wonder that Qi Xiaotong would help him.
Okay, this problem has been clarified, but new confusions arise one after another.
Going on missions and giving gifts are the professional expertise of civil servants. If so, why did she choose to be a martial artist instead of a Confucian scholar?
This is seriously illogical!
Ahhhhh...
Could it be that she wanted to imitate Jing Ke and give a gift to assassinate Qin?
This life is a life of narrow escape!
Oh no, it should be said that there is absolutely no return, and moreover, it will end in a tragic death.
Huang Fei subconsciously wiped his cold sweat and said: "Miss, if this matter had happened in the past, Huang could still have gritted his teeth and killed him! If you die, you will die. Eighteen years later, we will be a good man again! But now, it’s different, Qianhe is already pregnant, and I don’t want the child to call others daddy after he’s born.”
Qi Xiaotong laughed at him and said: "Uncle Huang is overthinking. Even if you want to be a great hero like Jing Ke, I can't bear to push you out! To tell you the truth, sending you here is not an assassination operation." , just a simple gift."
Say this...do you believe it yourself?
If that's the case, just anyone can do it, so why bother asking me for help?
If I can't even understand this kind of trick, wouldn't my career as a guard be in vain?
Seeing that the deception failed, Qi Xiaotong had no choice but to admit it and said: "Of course, my gift is a little special."
"What's so special?" Huang Fei said with a smile that said, "It's just as I expected."
"Among my many wedding gifts, there is something special. It seems to be the same, but I have secretly poisoned it that is not easy to detect. The purpose is naturally to plot against the King of Goryeo. In view of this, I urgently need a A shrewd man who is eloquent but also brave and courageous is going to Yucheng, and uncle, you just meet this condition!"
"You poisoned the gift?"
"Um!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Fei waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "I advise you, you should give up this intention! This kind of thing can't be accomplished?"
Xiaotong smiled lightly and said, "What's the basis?"
"You have never stayed in the palace and don't understand the institutional guarantees. The monarch's meals and pastries are all subject to strict checks and multiple inspections, and even live people are used to taste them. As long as the food shows the slightest abnormality, They will be rejected from the royal meal. Therefore, your method goes against the system and is completely unworkable."
Qi Xiaotong smiled and said: "My poison is extremely special. No matter how brilliant the imperial doctor is, it is impossible for him to detect the abnormality, let alone the ordinary people used in experiments. For this, I dare to guarantee it with my life!"
What? Is there such a magical poison in the world?
real or fake?
Huang Fei, who claims to be a master of poison, couldn't help but be startled after hearing this.
However, Qi Xiaotong risked his life as a guarantee, so what else could he have to question?
In other words, this should be true.
Huang Fei calmed himself down and showed a serious expression.
