The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

While Xu Yao was stunned for a moment, the masked man broke free from the shackles, took out a white round bead and smashed it on the ground. Suddenly a cloud of smoke rose. Xu Yao dodged it, and when he looked back, those men had already escaped.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Xu Yao had no choice but to run to another alley, but was quickly attacked by someone.

When Xu Yao saw the other person, she immediately took out a piece of cloth and wrapped her face. When she turned around, the man was already in front of her, blocking her way.

The person who came was none other than Pei Shuo, who worked in the Palace Front Department.

I don't know how he got such a job of patrolling the streets. Now Xu Yao has blocked him in the alley, which gives him a headache.

Pei Shuo didn't care what she thought. The man's back alone made him feel familiar. It seemed that the person he was chasing last time was this person.

So he drew his sword to stop Xu Yao and forced her to surrender.

Xu Yao was too lazy to talk nonsense. He just defended instead of attacking, looking for a chance to escape.

It's not that she can't beat him, but this guy's status is there. If she hurts him, the matter will definitely get out of hand. At that time, the whole city will be hunting him down. She doesn't want to get into such trouble.

Seeing her dodging everywhere, Pei Shuo chased her relentlessly.

Seeing that he had cornered the man with no way to retreat, Pei Shuo had no time to be happy, as Xu Yao struck back and cut off Pei Shuo's belt with the sword in his hand.

In an instant, Pei Shuo felt a chill down there, and when he looked down, he found that his pants had fallen off.

Xu Yao's eyes were filled with teasing and pride. While Pei Shuo was pulling up his pants, he used the force to step on the wall and fly away.

The slender figure overlaps with the moon, drawing a soft arc.

Based on this figure, Pei Shuo concluded that the other person was definitely a woman.

Unfortunately, Xu Yao disappeared from the roof in an instant. When his men caught up with him, Pei Shuo ordered them to chase him while borrowing a belt from someone and putting it on, then followed them with gritted teeth.

The look in the woman's eyes just now was full of ridicule towards him. He had never felt so embarrassed in his life and he swore in his heart that he would catch that person.

However, when I ran out of this area, there were people coming and going on the streets, and there was not even a figure on the roof, so I completely lost track of the person.

Pei Shuo was so angry that everyone looked like a thief to him.

"Sir, are we still chasing?"

Before Pei Shuo could say anything, someone came running after them, shouting for help. The group had no choice but to change direction and go see what was going on.

Bai Lingzhi had been busy all day, taking stock of the accounts of the Bai Family Silver Shop and removing all those disobedient nails. He finally had a chance to rest for a while, so naturally he went to bed early.

But halfway through his sleep, he felt his neck was a little cold.

He raised his hand and touched something cold, and immediately opened his eyes.

He saw a man sitting in front of him, with Xu Yao's sword on his neck, looking at him with a smile.

Bai Lingzhi paused for a long time before forcing out a smile. "Madam Xu, what are you doing?"

"Have I got my household registration and travel permit ready?"

Bai Lingzhi instinctively glanced in the direction of the cabinet, and then said: "I wonder if Madam Xu can get what I want?"

Xu Yao: "I got it, but I can't give it to you now."

Hearing her say this, Bai Lingzhi raised his hand and gently moved the sword, then sat up. "My clothes are in disarray, so it's really inconvenient for me to entertain guests. Why don't you go out first, Madam Xu, and wait until I change my clothes before talking to you?"

Xu Yao stared at him with a strange look in his eyes.

Bai Lingzhi had the illusion that he was being targeted by a flower thief, and he coughed uncomfortably.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yao swung his sword, scratched his chest, and slid down little by little.

Bai Lingzhi tried to stay calm and said casually, "What is Miss Xu doing?"

"Mr. Bai didn't tell the truth."

"how do I say this?"

Xu Yao lifted his collar, revealing the man's strong but fair chest. Two bright red spots were suddenly exposed to the air. For a moment, Bai Lingzhi instinctively wanted to raise his hands to cover himself.

"do not move."

Bai Lingzhi thought about it and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, Madam Xu, I would be happy to have a romantic encounter with you."

When he smiled, his peach blossom eyes were really charming but not greasy.

Xu Yao sneered: "Mr. Bai tricked me into stealing from Mingqian Tower, but the things were not there. Do you want me to steal for you, or do you want to use someone else to kill me?"

Bai Lingzhi was slightly surprised: "Not in Mingqian Building? That's impossible. That thing is so valuable. I sent several groups of people to look for it. They came back and told me that it was something that Ma San was carrying close to his body. There's no way it can be wrong."

Xu Yao paused, and said with a half-smile: "If that's the case, then you should clean up your people. No wonder they have failed seven or eight times. I'm afraid someone has been deceiving you for a long time."

When Bai Lingzhi thought of this possibility, his heart sank slightly, but he continued to smile.

"Thank you for the reminder, Madam Xu. I will conduct a thorough investigation tomorrow to see who betrayed the master."

Xu Yao snorted coldly, "Your information was inaccurate, and I almost lost my life. I was also hunted down by Yuan Qingzong's people. It's interesting, I only took 10,000 taels of silver from you, why do you have so many assassins? Mr. Bai, do you have any important news that you haven't told me?"

Bai Lingzhi's eyes were evasive, and one could tell from his expression that he was guilty.

"It's not that I don't want to say it, but there are some things that the more you know, the more disadvantageous it will be for Madam Xu. It's better to keep the transaction between you and me simple, what do you think?"

"That makes sense. You are not comfortable talking about those things. What exactly is the Yuanqing Sect? You can always tell me. Don't say you don't know."

Although Bai Lingzhi was slightly surprised when he heard these words, he did not feel unfamiliar.

This time it was Bai Lingzhi's turn to wonder: "How did Madam Xu offend Emperor Yuan Qing?"

Xu Yao shook his head naturally: "I have never heard of this thing. I only know from them that Yuanqing Sect is the world's largest assassin sect. Now I have gotten into such a big trouble because of your unreliability. You should at least tell me where the other party came from and how I should deal with it."

Bai Lingzhi thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, Yuanqing Sect is indeed the world's number one assassin sect. Anyone they target will surely die. But I think Madam Xu doesn't need to worry."

"how do I say this?"

"Mrs. Xu, you don't know that Yuan Qingzong is not only in the business of killing people, but also works as a bodyguard. They will only kill people if they are paid enough. Miss Xu is just stealing. They don't even know who you are, so naturally no one will spend a lot of money to take your life."

At this point, Bai Lingzhi paused and asked tentatively: "Did Madam Xu get chased while investigating Mingqian Tower?"

"Didn't I just answer you?"

"What I mean is, if you just happen to be caught, you don't have to worry about being hunted down. Yuan Qingzong's goal is to protect Mingqian Tower. As long as you don't go there again, there will be no danger."

Xu Yao frowned. Those people were not only Yuan Qingzong, but also people from unknown backgrounds. He could only blame himself for being soft-hearted and not killing those killers outside the city that day, which brought him into trouble.

"Even though you said that, I still feel uneasy. Why don't we exchange the money and the goods, and I'll take the goods and leave here early, so as to avoid any more troubles at night."

Bai Lingzhi was surprised when he heard her say that.

"Miss Xu has the key?"

"That depends on whether your household registration is there."

As she spoke, she glanced at the cabinets in the room.
