The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

"It's really surprising." Xue Zhiyi said.

Faced with this change that had never happened in her previous life, she was very much looking forward to the next development.

After thinking for a while, she added: "In this case, investigating Fu Wei would save us the trouble of long and arduous journey."

"That's right." Huo Wuyou agreed.

As he spoke, he stood up and stretched lazily: "Let's go, while it's still early, go out for a walk."

"Where are you going?" Xue Zhiyi asked him.

Huo Wuyou smiled brightly: "Of course you agreed to hang out with me and have fun."

Seeing Xue Zhiyi was unmoved, he asked, "Why? You haven't left the palace for so long, don't you miss the freedom and bustle outside the palace at all?"

After thinking about it, Xue Zhiyi realized that he hadn't been to the streets of Huajing for a long time, so it would be a good opportunity to buy some things.

Before she agreed, Huo Wuyou thought she wanted to refuse again, so he leaned over, propped his elbows on the table, and looked Xue Zhiyi in the eye: "I will be taking up my post at the Dali Temple soon. I will have less free time like this. Go for a walk, just for me."

After saying that, he winked at her with a smile.

"..."

Xue Zhiyi: I originally wanted to go.

"It's so stuffy to always wear a veil outside."

Seeing her raise her hand to take the veil, Huo Wuyou quickly snatched it away.

"you……"

Before Xue Zhiyi could get angry, Huo Wuyou said, "You just said that the two of us cannot appear at the same time. You think the veil is stuffy, but I don't. It doesn't matter who wears it, right?"

Xue Zhiyi hesitated: What kind of nonsense is this?

Before she could object, she saw Huo Wuyou put the veil on her face and tied a knot behind her head.

With the lower half of Huo Wuyou's face covered, his sharp jaw could not be seen, and his pair of phoenix eyes seemed even more colorful, less heroic and more bright.

She was also wearing a woman's veil...like a prostitute.

Xue Zhiyi couldn't help but chuckle, but quickly stopped.

Seeing her smile, Huo Wuyou was not displeased, but laughed with her.

"Let's go?" he said.

Having said this, Xue Zhiyi's mood subtly improved. Unable to find a reason to refuse, he could only nod.

When walking out of the teahouse, Yangui looked at Huo Wuyou as if he was looking at a ghost.

Huo Wuyou winked at him, and Yan Gui understood what he meant. He could only lie helplessly, "My Lord, it's time to feed your horse. The horses and the grooms are hungry too."

Huo Wuyou nodded: "I understand, you guys go back home first."

Yan Gui bowed and said goodbye, and took the coachman away.

Xue Zhiyi looked at her and thought to himself: What a coincidence, she feels hungry just by listening to that.

She didn't reveal it, but just wandered around aimlessly with Huo Wuyou.

On the street, Huo Wuyou was excited in his heart and in his body. He walked with light steps and was half a step behind Xue Zhiyi.

The veil still had a faint scent of rouge, and the area stained with a little lipstick seemed to lightly touch his lips, causing a little bit of an itch in his heart that was hard to touch.

Xue Zhiyi also planned to take the opportunity to buy some things, so she went into a shop. While she was picking things, Huo Wuyou was beside her.

When Xue Zhiyi didn't notice, Huo Wuyou's eyes changed quietly.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he vaguely felt that someone's eyes were lingering on him.

But this shop is big, and there are a lot of people coming and going inside. To avoid alerting the enemy, Huo Wuyou just quietly observed while picking things out.

The waiters in the store were introducing this year's new arrivals to their respective customers, but there were two people who seemed to be listening absent-mindedly, with wandering eyes, as if they were looking for someone.

There were two men wearing veiled hats. They pointed at the inkstone in Xiaoer's hand and said, "We want this one. Wrap it up."

The waiter went to pack the things with a happy look on his face. One of them muttered to the people around him in some foreign language, "I clearly saw him enter the teahouse just now, and he disappeared when he came out. We wanted to ambush him outside the teahouse, but we didn't expect him to be so cunning and even masked his face. We almost lost him. Fortunately, I was sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, so I didn't let him escape."

The other person glanced at Huo Wuyou who was picking things around calmly, and whispered in a foreign language: "Wait until there are fewer people. It's crowded here and it's hard to get away."

On this side, Xue Zhiyi had picked out the things and was about to pay when Huo Wuyou handed his purse to the shopkeeper.

Xue Zhiyi was stunned: "No need, I can pay for it myself."

Huo Wuyou smiled, picked up a carved bronze mirror, put it in the pile of things Xue Zhiyi had, and said, "I bought this for A Yu. Please bring it to her for me. The rest is your reward for running errands for me."

Before she could refuse, Huo Wuyou stuffed his purse into the store owner's pocket and said without hesitation, "Pay the bill."

After paying the money and walking out with several bags of various sizes, Xue Zhiyi whispered, "Marquis Lin'an, there is no need to be like this. My salary is enough. Now that you have paid for me, I have no choice but to give all this to the princess."

Beside him, Huo Wuyou complained: "Why do you bother with me so much? I can spend my money on whoever I want."

Xue Zhiyi wanted to say something, but suddenly, Huo Wuyou grabbed her wrist.

She raised her eyebrows and saw that Huo Wuyou, who was teasing just now, now had a pair of eyes exposed outside the veil, which were as sharp as cold light.

Huo Wuyou once again felt the sense of being watched. He said to Xue Zhiyi in a deep voice, "Someone is watching us. Let's go!"

Not wanting to argue with him about a few taels of silver, Xue Zhiyi nodded lightly, followed his pace, and quickened his pace.

Huo Wuyou held her hand all the way to the bustling downtown area, squeezing into places where there were many people, trying to shake off those people.

Xue Zhiyi moved her body closer to him to ensure that Huo Wuyou could hear her words.

"Did you get rid of it?"

"No." Huo Wuyou said coldly.

No one knew who the person following them was, nor which one of them he was targeting, but they knew he had bad intentions.

If we cannot get rid of them, we can only lead them away first and not let them mingle with the crowd, otherwise they may hurt the people.

Xue Zhiyi understood this principle himself.

So after Huo Wuyou whispered "let's go", Xue Zhiyi followed without hesitation.

They went around to the back of the street. Unlike the crowded downtown area, this place was much quieter, with only a few scattered civilians. They could escape in time when a disturbance occurred. Not only that, this place was along the river bank with a wide view. If anything happened, people on the other side of the river would notice it quickly, allowing the people from the Imperial City Bureau to arrive in time.

"Zhi Yi." Huo Wuyou said softly.

Xue Zhiyi hummed.

Huo Wuyou put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist: "If they come for me later, find a place to hide."

Xue Zhiyi could clearly feel that Huo Wuyou was holding her hand, and his palms were sweating.

She knew that she didn't know how to fight, so it was enough for her to not drag down Huo Wuyou, so she just said, "Be careful!"

Hearing her words, Huo Wuyou chuckled imperceptibly: "Got it."
