I'm a professional

Bai Mu finally watched the child enter the mansion, seeing the little figure disappear into the dark, Bai Mu also turned his head and left in peace.

But Li Lianyu seemed to have sensed it, and turned his head suddenly, but the place just now was already empty.

His heart was also empty.

For many years to come, this scene seemed to be seared in my mind.

He has been regretting: why... at this moment, why didn't he stop that person?

The progress of Bai Mu's side is quite smooth. After all, it has been prepared for so long. Although the system navigation is temporarily lost, it has little impact.He easily bypassed the patrols in the imperial city - the army was pushing in, and the palace was in chaos, so it was not difficult to do so.

If it's troublesome, he just took a little time to find Li Tanyi's position.

The door of the remote temple was closed, and the windows were all locked.

Unlike the palace servants who heard the noisy movement outside, lit the candles and screamed, this palace was quiet and without a ray of light. Against the withered grass outside, it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

—but there are people in it.

The window was fastened from the inside, but this small problem did not bother Bai Mu. He easily opened the window from the outside, and landed on the ground quietly without making a sound.

An old eunuch hunched his back, shivering tremblingly in a corner, closed his eyes, and muttered silently.

——It’s Eunuch Cui.

The last time Bai Mu saw him, he was still middle-aged with a red face, but now he looks old.

Although he was sighing, Bai Mu didn't want to disturb him. He walked silently into the side hall, saw Li Tanyi who was locked on the couch, but couldn't help frowning... Does this look familiar?

Bai Mu stepped forward to make a rough check, and there were no physiological indicators at the moment, and Bai Mu could only get a preliminary diagnosis by relying on his pretentious observation and inquiry: Li Tanyi was also suffering from intoxicating dreams.

Bai Mu frowned even more tightly.

——That day... he obviously blocked it?

But now is not the time to worry about these things, the most urgent thing is to get people out.

But in Li Tanyi's situation, it's impossible to move on his own.

Bai Mu sighed silently, secretly thinking about trouble, and then quietly left the bedroom, stood in front of the curled up old eunuch, and called out in a low voice, "Eunuch Cui."

Eunuch Cui trembled, and tightened his grip a little more, covering his ears, muttering something.

Bai Mu got closer and heard vaguely, "Your Majesty blesses you, the spirit of the real dragon blesses you... The demons and ghosts are gone... Our family didn't hear anything..."

Bai Mu poked a black line on his forehead: Where does this come from? !

He stepped forward to give Eunuch Cui a push, and then called out a little, "Eunuch Cui."

This time, Eunuch Cui reacted even more, trembling like sifting chaff, crying, and kowtowed, "I don't know if the Immortal Lord is coming... believers, believers are not well prepared, every day, the next day... there will be offerings... ..."

This situation is a bit funny while speechless.

Bai Mu pushed the person hard, and leaned forward, "Eunuch Cui, it's me... Pei Baimu."

Only then did Eunuch Cui raise his head with tears in his eyes, wiped his eyes twice with his sleeve, and said dully, "Lord Pei?"

Bai Mu nodded, thinking that the matter was over, and was about to explain to him, but Eunuch Cui paused, kowtowed again, and tried his best——

"...Master Pei knows about this old slave..."

"The miscellaneous family has already taken care of all the gossipers in the palace... But in Beijing, the capital... the miscellaneous family are really beyond their reach..."

"If you have nowhere to go...on the ten-mile mountain in the outskirts of Beijing...the old slave has already bought the land...and invited incense to worship..."

"My lord may not look down on those shallow incense... But, but this old slave will burn incense and paper to worship every day after going out, and will never wrong my lord... Please excuse me..."

Bai Mu: "..."

This old tortoise doesn't act in comedy, it's a shame.

Eunuch Cui cried until he was emotional, and took a few steps on his knees. He hugged Bai Mu's leg and cried a few more words before he realized that he had feet. Isn't that the soul of Mr. Pei? Son……?

He finally regained his senses, raised his head tremblingly, and met Pei Baimu, whose face was rarely darkened. He didn't know where his usual slick tongue had gone, and he asked in a daze, "Are you still alive?"

Bai Mu: Bah... I'm not alive, is this the underworld? !

After such a long delay, the sound of searching outside could be vaguely heard, obviously approaching.

Bai Mu didn't have time to explain to Cui Gonggong at this moment, so he just stuffed the road map, "The well in the courtyard of Kangle Palace is the entrance to the secret passage, and it will be sealed when you pass it. You can only go once...not bad Safe...you take His Majesty out there...then follow the directions on this map and send His Majesty to that other courtyard..."

While listening, Eunuch Cui couldn't help but stare blankly at the movements of Bai Mu's hands.

I saw Bai Mu dipped something in his hands, and wiped the emperor's face a few times, seemingly casually, but the face was different, like...

He couldn't help but look up at Bai Mu...

If it could only be said that the two were alike before, now it can be said that they are almost identical, even if he served in front of His Majesty every day, he could hardly recognize His Majesty.

Bai Mu didn't have all the materials here, so he could make a simple disguise first, but fortunately, it was dark and he could get away with it.

He finished wiping the sleeping bastard on the bed, and started tidying himself up.

While melting, he realized that there was no sound from the side all the time, so he couldn't help but glanced at Eunuch Cui, "Is there anything I don't understand?"

He felt that he had made it clear enough.

Eunuch Cui came back to his senses after being asked this question, and Nuonuo replied: "No...no..."

However, he was terrified. In the look just now, even his demeanor was somewhat similar to His Majesty's.

……

The sound of a search outside was approaching, and the sound of "search" almost exploded in front of the main hall door. Eunuch Cui trembled and almost couldn't stop, he quickly asked for help and looked at Bai Mu, "Lord Pei..."

Bai Mu made a silent gesture to him.

——There is also an attendant's room next to the palace. When he came, he saw that it was lit with lights. If ordinary people want to search, they must search from places where there are people.

But time is running out.

Bai Mu also didn't care about changing Li Tanyi's clothes, so he took off Li Tanyi's pajamas and put them on for himself. The night clothes he changed into were stuffed under the bed, and he took a blanket for Li Tanyi. Tan Yi wrapped himself up, threw the person to Eunuch Cui, and made a "go away" gesture.

With Li Tanyi on his back, Eunuch Cui kowtowed deeply to Bai Mu.

Bai Mu almost couldn't help kicking people: It's such a time, and these nonsense come here!

Finally driving the people away, Bai Mu hurriedly buckled the pile of chains that had just been untied from Li Tanyi's body on himself, and before he finished buckling them, the voices from outside approached.

Bai Mu stopped his movements immediately, and his breathing became calm the next moment, as if he was in a coma.

The door was not tied, but the group of people searched all the way, and they must have gotten used to kicking the door. With a "bang", half of the door hit the ground directly, but Bai Mu didn't even change his breath, as if it was real. Passed out.

Those who were sent to search these side halls were not elites. It is estimated that most of these people had the idea of ​​searching for some money, and they probably didn't care whether they found anyone or not.

I was still a little dazed by the sudden credit for being hit on my head, and it took me a while to remember to go forward to confirm my identity.

The system has left, and Bai Mu can't (cross out) cheat (cross out) a harmonious shield with it right now.He was also prepared to suffer for a while.

— After all, you can’t expect how polite these people are to the captives.

It didn't hurt anyway, and Bai Mu wasn't in a panic.

But Bai Mu felt that he was still young after all, it was normal to pull his hair and arms, and it was normal to get knocked.

But... What does spitting mean? !Also, can't you be more disciplined with your hands? !

Just when Bai Mu felt that he might be passively shielded, he suddenly heard sharp piercing sounds in his ears, and there were more than one.

This voice... Hidden Arrow?

Is it Li Tanyi's hidden guard? !

No, if it is... Then why didn't he respond when he came in just now?

The smell of blood diffused in this space, some people chased the direction of the arrow, and some stayed behind.

Although Bai Mu's thoughts changed sharply, it was of no use. He had to continue to pretend to be dead.

But after a while, several muffled sounds of bodies falling to the ground sounded almost at the same time. It was because the person who did it was so fast that he couldn't tell the front and back of the fall.

Someone else came.

Thinking about it, Bai Mu still tried his best to breathe calmly.

Who is it this time?Although he closed his eyes, he concentrated on feeling the movement around him.

This feeling, is...? !

Bai Mu's breathing stagnated for a moment, and he realized that he was being picked up carefully.

Such a big movement here has long attracted the attention of the large troops. The shouts and shouts gathered together with the sound of armor marching. Obviously, they were surrounded.

The person who came was not afraid, except for the moment when he was picked up, his heartbeat was always steady.

……

Bai Mu felt the weightlessness of jumping, and the sound of the chase fading away.

He was surprised to find that they were about to break through? !

——This is impossible! !

Bai Mu couldn't pretend to be dead now, so he quickly opened his eyes.

But the current situation made him slightly dazed.

Chasing and fleeing in the dark, he was hugged by someone...

This familiar feeling of deja vu made the fragments hidden deep in the memory bright for a moment, but soon dimmed again.

Bai Mu blinked and came back to his senses, but he was facing a pair of clear eyes.

The man didn't expect Bai Mu to wake up, so he met his gaze suddenly, his whole body froze, and his originally flexible dodging movements stopped suddenly.

Seeing the unstoppable arrows heading straight for his right shoulder, Bai Mu quickly grabbed the man and pressed him aside.

The arrow with cold light brushed past his arm, and it really was only a hair's breadth away. The strap on the forearm was broken by the sharp edge, and the wrist guard fixed on it fell off.

Zhong Ang had already come to his senses, jumped on the slender branch under his feet, and escaped the next wave of arrows unscathed.

But Bai Mu's gaze could not help but focus on the back of his hand for a moment. There was a large scar on it, which seemed to be ages old.

The pursuers gradually fell behind.

Zhong Ang was not as focused as before. Seeing Bai Mu staring at the back of his hand, he quickly hid it behind his back.

"It's not a scar," he explained, "it's a birthmark... from childhood."

Bai Mu responded, and then asked another question, "Why are you in the palace?"

Zhong Ang suddenly remembered that he seemed to be hiding a lot from this person in front of him.

This unexpected exposure made him visibly panicked, and he did not see the indifference of being hunted down by thousands of people just now.

"Ah uh, uh... I, I..."

Zhong Ang began to stutter and explain his identity - the eldest son of Xiping Hou Zhong's family.

After finishing speaking, he emphasized again and again, "I didn't lie to you... I really didn't lie to you!"

Bai Mu: "..."

To cheat is not to cheat, but to selectively conceal a part.

——The art of speaking, this Mr. Zhong may be able to get full marks.

Zhong Ang explained for a long time at a loss, carefully observing Bai Mu's expression, he did not see any angry look from it, so he was relieved.

Then, finally remembering to ask, "Why are they chasing you?"

Bai Mu: "..."

"........."

He looked down at the bright yellow pajamas he had just changed, and then at Zhong Ang.

Unable to control it, this thought popped up again: This kid, can't he be a fool?
