"Oh, don't wait until we get back. Why don't you just tell us briefly?" Hei Lu'er thought of Ah Piao's taboo just now, "Otherwise, let's go back through the secret passage first. After you take a bath, we can come back." .”
"Perhaps there should be a new bathtub specially prepared for guests. Mugwort is also ready-made, and you can also bathe here." His Highness blinked at Ah Piao, "I'm not used to you being so far away from me."
"I'd better go back and wash it. I'm not used to using the things in here, and I don't know if it's really clean."
"There is no need to pay attention to these things at this time!" His Highness couldn't help but hold his forehead, dumbfounded.
"Don't forget, there are people waiting for us outside! We still have to go back eventually, and we have to divert their attention, right?"
"Yes, I almost forgot about them."
"Besides, I'm not going back simply to pay attention to something. I'm going to interrogate those people with Master Wu Shudan tonight. If there's anyone who doesn't take advantage of me, go back and get my little bag." Seeing His Highness nodding, she turned around and looked at those few people. A guard said, "Seal this room completely and guard the door to prevent anyone from entering."
"Yes, Master A'Piao!"
Ah Piao stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation, asking His Highness and Hei Lu'er to walk in front of her, while she followed slowly behind.
"Sister Xiaopiao, please introduce to us first, what is this sacrifice about?" Hei Lu'er looked back at Ah Piao, "Maybe I am ignorant, but I really haven't heard of it before." He looked at it Your Highness, "Your Highness, have you heard of it?"
"Xiao Hei, are you confused?" His Highness rolled his eyes, "Didn't I just tell you before? Our clan also does this kind of business, so of course we know about it."
"Oh, yes!" Hei Lu'er patted his forehead, "But His Highness also said that it is different, right?"
"Yes, but there are such things, but they are not so complicated." His Highness thought for a while, "I remember that the elders of the tribe also made sacrifices, but they were just a few animal bones. The others..." She said lightly Shaking her head lightly, "I've never seen it before. However, this kind of sacrifice is usually held on auspicious days. Its function is probably to pray for good weather and peace in the family." She looked at Ah Piao, "This kind of ceremony is indeed inappropriate. Yes, and, as far as I know, this shouldn’t be done in one go, right?”
"Your Highness is wise and has good eyesight. This is indeed not done in one go. Every year, a little is added, and every year, a little is added. This lasts for at least ten years before we can reach what we are now. It's a pity, as I just said As it has been, the person who made this sacrifice is just a dabbler and has only a half-knowledge of such a sacrifice."
"No, things like immortality and eternal youth are really not nonsense?" Hei Lu'er raised an eyebrow, "Didn't I always say before that those pills and the like were all lies? I remember myself I caught a lot of these scammers."
"Those are indeed liars, oh, no, it should be said that the vast majority of them are liars. But..." Ah Piao paused, "You can't deny that there are indeed a very small number of people who have real materials. They can either use the elixir you just mentioned or use this kind of ritual to achieve what some people only dream of." She paused and glanced at Hei Lu'er, "Sir, what do you think? Mr. Just because most people are liars doesn’t mean that no one is telling the truth, right?”
"That's true."
After hearing Ah Piao's words, Hei Lu'er couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The two young masters in their family and the old man from Tantai in Xijing City were all living examples. It's just that A'Piao has never met them and has never been back to Xijing, so she doesn't know about it at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't just say this.
He sighed silently in his heart. Fortunately, the secret passage was not bright enough to see his face at this moment, otherwise, he would definitely be exposed. The two people around him are good at observing people's words and have a keen eye. As long as they take a look, they can see through his little thoughts.
The secret passage was not long, and they were different from the cautious way they came. When they went back, they walked quickly and returned to the house in a short time.
"There should be no other secret passages or chambers." A Piao looked at His Highness, then at Hei Lu'er, "Your Highness, should you stay here and continue waiting for news, or should you go back to the palace?"
"Ishibu and I will go back with you and ask the people in the dining room to prepare some good things that suit your taste. Then you can send them back to Xiao Hei and Xiao Dan." His Highness thought for a moment, "You must prepare the people here today. After all the trials, there will be a result.”
"In this case, please ask Mr. Ishibu to send His Highness back. It's okay for me to go back and take a bath after interrogating the women. After all, those women are delicate and frail and cannot endure that long."
"When did you have the idea of pitying women and cherishing jade?" His Highness looked at Ah Piao curiously, "Tell me, what bad idea do you have?"
"Your Highness, I just thought of a question that can substantiate the so-called rumors." A Piao looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Isn't Master Qiku outside the city?"
"You mean to ask him to explore the royal tomb? To confirm whether the royal tomb has been stolen?"
"Yes, if Mr. Qiku confirms that the royal tomb was stolen and that the late king was buried with him, Wanyan Qingmu may not be able to escape."
"Okay!" His Highness nodded, "You are right. I will contact him and ask him to take a look. Compared with us, their people are more convenient and less likely to arouse suspicion."
"That's what I think." A Piao nodded, and she and Hei Lu'er sent His Highness to Ishibu, "Sir, His Highness is in your hands. Please take His Highness back to the palace, and we can continue to do our own thing. It’s a job.”
"Don't worry, I will send His Highness back properly."
"Okay, don't make me unable to protect myself, okay?" His Highness rolled his eyes, "My kung fu is also very good. I can kill three people with one punch."
"Safety is the most important thing." A Piao thought for a moment and waved to Ishibu, "Sir, please be sure to watch your back."
"Is someone following you?"
"Yes." A Piao nodded, "I feel ashamed to say that they are the people who ran out of the palace before. Your Highness means not to leave them alone for the time being to see what they want to do. There are ours behind them. People are following you secretly, you only need to pay attention to the safety of His Highness, and just be careful not to let them get close."
"I understand, leave it to me!"
"I'll leave everything to you, sir!"
