"Why are you looking for Concubine Li?" The woman who was being pinched by Yu Xiaoxiao bravely asked Yu Xiaoxiao another question after telling her where Concubine Li was.
"We take money to do our job," Yu Xiaoxiao said to the woman in a hoarse voice, "All the people of Chengzhou Li family must die, hehe."
Xiaozhuang raised his hand and knocked the woman unconscious. He said to Yuxiao: "Princess, I always thought that the people who lived in the Buddhist temple were nuns."
"Innocent," Yu Xiaoxiao pulled the quilt over the two women and said, "Didn't Li Xiaomei live in the Buddhist temple before she became a nun?"
The big boss saw the two guys doing the bad things so cleanly and neatly, and thought it was a pity that they were not bandits. Look at their ability to lie without blinking an eye. How embarrassed are these two guys for him, the bandit leader? Since entering the house, he could only stand by and watch!
"Let's go," Yu Xiaoxiao said to the boss, "Let's go find your true love."
Just as the eldest master was about to speak, his collar felt tighter and he was picked up by the princess again.
The Buddhist temple where Concubine Li was located was in the sixth courtyard. When Yu Xiaoxiao saw this remotely located temple, she found the same woman she had seen last time when she was standing outside the temple. Then she looked inside through the carved holes on the door and realized that this was the same woman who had been beating the wooden fish and chanting scriptures in the temple that night. Her skull had the same shape.
The boss glanced into the Buddhist hall, but couldn't tell who the woman with her hair tied up in a bun and wearing a gray monk's robe who was kneeling in front of the Buddha was.
"True love?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked the boss.
The boss shook his head.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked into the Buddhist hall again and expressed her understanding. The grey robe was too big and it didn't show her figure when she wore it. It was understandable that Xiongxiong couldn't see bones and couldn't recognize her true love.
Xiao Zhuang said, "What should we do? Should we rush in?"
The boss said: "Don't scare Miss Li!"
Yu Xiaoxiao gave the boss a blank look, reached out and pushed the door open, then walked into the Buddhist hall.
The woman who was kneeling in front of the Buddha and chanting scriptures heard someone entering the temple, but she remained indifferent. She didn't even turn her head, but continued to chant a verse and strike the wooden fish.
Yu Xiaoxiao called out to the woman, "Little Sister Li? Concubine Li?"
The woman stopped.
"Hi," Yu Xiao said, "Little sister Li, turn around and take a look."
The woman turned around.
When Xiaozhuang saw the woman's face, he couldn't help but let out a soft cry of "Ah".
Yu Xiaoxiao frowned when she saw the woman's face. A knife mark extended diagonally from the woman's left eyebrow to the right side of her nose.
When the boss saw the woman's face, he was shocked and just stared at her without saying a word.
When the woman saw Yu Xiaoxiao and the other two, she opened her mouth and wanted to scream, but she was obviously too frightened and couldn't scream out the first time.
"Stupid," Yu Xiao said, "Show your face now."
Xiaozhuang pulled the mask off his face, and seeing that the boss was still standing there, he reached out and pulled off the sleeves of the boss's shirt that were covering his face.
After seeing the boss's face clearly, the woman took several steps back. Her first reaction was to cover her face with her hands. Then she froze and quickly looked at the boss again, saying urgently, "Why are you here? Go away!"
The eldest master asked in a trembling voice: "Wan'er?"
Li Wan looked at the boss who was approaching her, stretched out her hand to push him and said, "This is the Imperial Palace, do you want to die? Hurry up and leave!"
Although Li Wan pushed him hard, the boss stood there motionless. He reached out to touch Li Wan's face, but he didn't dare to put his hand down. He cursed, "Damn it!"
"Let's go!" Li Wan cried.
The eldest boss opened his arms and was about to hug Li Wan, saying, "I'm here to take you away."
"Are you crazy?" Li Wan didn't let the boss hold her, but said to him in a hurry: "Hurry up and leave, this is not the place for you! This is the Imperial Palace, don't you want to live?"
"Wan'er!"
"Let's go!"
"Well," Yu Xiaoxiao saw that the two were busy talking about love, so she stood aside and said, "Little Sister Li, our time is limited. Let Xiongxiong kneel down and sing a song for you, and then we can get down to business, okay?"
The big boss yelled at Yu Xiaoxiao in a low voice: "Can you say something I can understand?!"
When Xiaozhuang saw the boss yelling at Yu Xiaoxiao, he became unhappy and shouted at the boss, "How dare you! Who are you talking to?"
"Let's not quarrel among ourselves at this time," Yu Xiao said, "Can we get down to business first?"
"You, who are you?" Li Wan looked at Yu Xiaoxiao with a look of surprise.
Yu Xiao: "How can you not recognize me?"
Xiao Zhuang whispered, "She has lived in the Buddhist temple since she entered the palace. She has never seen you, Princess."
"Oh," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Li Wan after hearing what Xiaozhuang said, "It doesn't matter who I am. I am not your man's true love. We are here to take you out of the palace. Do you have any luggage to take? Pack it up and we will leave the palace now."
Li Wan looked at the boss and said, "Are you crazy?" She was a concubine. How could a concubine leave the palace alive?
The eldest boss said, "Let's talk about it outside."
Li Wan raised her hand and slapped the eldest boss, and said anxiously: "Do you want my entire Li family to be beheaded?"
Yu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at the sky outside, then moved forward and came in front of Li Wan. In front of the boss, she raised her hand and slapped Concubine Li unconscious.
"Ah, you," the boss called out.
"You dare to say that you are her true love?" Yu Xiaoxiao said with contempt to the boss.
The eldest boss: "She is worried about her father and brother."
"Okay," Yu Xiao: "Take her out of the palace."
Xiao Wei put the corpse he was carrying on the open space in front of the Buddha and said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, are you going to set it on fire now?"
"I'm going to the library," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Xiaozhuang, "After an incense stick of time, you set the fire here."
Xiao Zhuang said: "And then?"
"Then we'll meet at the palace gate," Yu Xiao said, "I'll take you out of the palace. By the way, when you set the fire, just shout a few times and let the people in the Buddhist hall run out."
Xiao Zhuang was worried: "What should I shout?"
Yu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then raised her voice and whispered, "Murder, fire, run! Just shout this."
Xiaozhuang nodded.
"Run away while there is chaos," Yu Xiaoxiao reminded Xiaozhuang again.
Xiao Zhuang said, "I understand. Princess, please be careful."
"Okay, I'm leaving," Yu Xiao said as she walked out, and in the blink of an eye she disappeared.
Xiaozhuang sat down on the mat and started beating the wooden fish.
The boss hugged Li Wan and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xiaozhuang looked down on the boss and said, "If there is no sound of wooden fish in the Buddhist hall, what will happen if people become suspicious and come to see us? Have you really been a pirate?" It seems that this guy is not good at committing crimes.
The boss said, "You know a lot."
Xiao Zhuang said: "Sorry, I am better than you."
The boss's eyes twitched. Is this something to be proud of?
