Chapter 055 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang Wenxue

"Fang Yingkan has not replied. The people who monitored him said that he also left for Beijing shortly after the King of Taiping left."

"The defeat of Xingguo is a matter of time. No matter how hard the King of Taiping resists, it will be in vain." Wanyan Honglie said lightly, "Go tell Cai Jing to help Fang Yingkan, so as to set an example for others and tell them that whoever the Jin Kingdom wants to save can be saved."

System: [Too much!]

Xue Chen: [Yes! Too much! Why is it named "Daxing"? Xingguo sounds weird!]

System: [???]

Is your point a bit off?

Xue Chen pondered: [Are the people of Xingguo called pedestrians? 】

System: 【Now that you put it that way...it's really weird...But isn't Wanyan Honglie really too arrogant? You're not angry when he says that about your father?】

Xue Chen: 【Why

are you angry?】System: 【You get angry when I say bad things about your father.】

Xue Chen: 【That's because I have to work with you for the rest of my life. I have to let you know when I'm angry, so that you can change and get along more happily in the future. Who is Wanyan Honglie to me? What does he have to do with me? Why should I waste my emotions on him?】

The system was moved when he heard him say that. For a moment, it was not clear whether Xue Chen treated itself like this because he really wanted to get along with itself, or was PUAing it.

Wanyan Honglie's subordinates took the order and left, closing the door when they left.

Liu Yixuan squatted on the roof of the house opposite the study.

He made full preparations before coming. He wrapped his hair with black cloth, covering his forehead, and covered his face with another piece of black cloth, covering the lower half of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes, staring into the room from afar.

Wanyan Honglie was unaware of anything. He dealt with some documents and placed them on the table. After finishing all of them, he put some of them in the bookshelf and left the other part on the table without moving.

As the night deepened, Wanyan Honglie came out of the room and went to the front yard.

As a distinguished prince of the Jin Dynasty, he naturally would not live with Bao Xiruo in that farmhouse cottage. He had another residence in the front yard.

Liu Yixuan was subject to many restrictions during the day. Even if he could move around the palace, he was limited to the backyard and could not access the front yard.

Now he finally understood the layout of the front yard, memorized Wanyan Honglie's residence, and silently calculated the intervals between the guards' shifts outside.

The system was moved by his seriousness and suddenly felt a little excited: [What is the goal tonight?]

Xue Chen: [Know the way, calculate the number of guards in the palace, and plan an escape route.]

System: [Aren't you going to take action?]

Xue Chen: [Please, my Qinggong is only level 3, which is an average level. It's easy to be caught.]

Liu Yixuan jumped to another rooftop, lay on the eaves, and continued to observe the movements below. He changed several places in this way and basically determined the number of guards in the palace.

He tugged on the black cloth that covered his face, returned to the study, waited for the guards to change duties, jumped off the roof, ran to the front of the door, and took a look at the copper lock hanging on the door.

Xue Chen: [Tong'er, light up [unlock] for me. ]

The system gave him points without hesitation: [Why do you need to spend skill points to unlock this? 】

Xue Chen: 【The movement caused by direct smashing is too big. The computer in the study requires heavy space and the lock used is of good quality. If I don’t have some skills, I won’t be able to open it by myself.

[I am undercover, not an assassination. I don’t know how long I will stay here. It is best to steal the information quietly and restore everything after the operation. Even if Wanyan Honglie discovers something is wrong, he will not be able to determine when the problem occurred. 】

He will often encounter this kind of situation in the future, and learning the lockpicking skill is very cost-effective.

System: [I see. ]

After turning on the lockpicking skill, Liu Yixuan's skill points were cleared again.

He used his newly acquired lockpicking knowledge to observe the lock, took out a silver hairpin from his pocket, bent the tail end slightly, poked it into the hole, and fiddled with it left and right, but the lock did not open.

Liu Yixuan acted decisively, took back the silver hairpin, stuffed it into his pocket, jumped to the roof with light skills, and stepped lightly on the tiles.

He bent down and looked quietly into the distance.

System: [What did you find? Why did you run away suddenly? 】

Just as the words fell, footsteps were heard from afar, and a team of guards turned the corner and came from a distance.

If Liu Yixuan stayed where he was just now, he would be seen by those people the moment he heard the sound. Even if he could escape their pursuit, he would expose his existence.

System: [Multitasking, so amazing.]

Xue Chen: [It's all thanks to you. I've learned how to use a vest.]

The attempt just now has confirmed that the level 1 [Lock Opening] skill cannot open the copper lock safely.

Today's goal has been achieved. Liu Yixuan decisively returned to his residence, took off the black clothes and threw them under the bed.

The next morning, Liu Yixuan picked out an apricot-yellow long skirt, used the [Makeup] skill to roll up her hair, fixed it with a hair ornament inlaid with jade, went to the kitchen, made some vegetarian porridge, and prepared a few side dishes, and brought them to Bao Xiruo.

Bao Xiruo saw that he was dressed so gently and brightly, and she liked him more and more: "Will you accompany me for a walk?"

Liu Yixuan tilted her head, expressing doubt.

Bao Xiruo came to the dressing table, opened the drawer, picked out a white jade bracelet, took Liu Yixuan's hand, and put it on his wrist.

Bao Xiruo: "I was too lazy to walk around, but when I saw you looking so young and beautiful, I felt that autumn had become cheerful. If I don't go out and take a look, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

She seldom dressed up, and only wore fancy clothes when she went out or met guests, so as not to lose face in front of Wanyan Honglie.

When she was at home, Bao Xiruo wore the most ordinary clothes and combed her hair in the simplest way, which was no different from when she was in Niujia Village.

Time was especially kind to her. After more than ten years, her appearance had hardly changed at all. She still had that beautiful face, and even plain clothes and old clothes could not diminish her charm.

Liu Yixuan nodded and pointed to the bracelet on her hand.

Bao Xiruo: "I don't like this. These jewelries are hidden in my drawers and never see the light of day. Seeing that you are so plain, I can't help but want to put on some makeup for you, but the jewelries I have are a bit old-fashioned and not suitable for a girl of your age. Only this bracelet is acceptable."

Liu Yixuan shook her head and wanted to take off the bracelet.

Bao Xiruo stopped him: "It's nothing for a mother to give jewelries to her daughter."

Liu Yixuan had to accept the gift.

System: [Why don't you want it? Are you trying to maintain your image?]

Xue Chen: [Stupid, this thing is obviously given to her by Wanyan Honglie. Do I think my life is too long if I wear it?]

System: [How do you know it's not her original one? 】

Xue Chen: [That makes more sense. She even kept Yang Tiexin's iron plow and wouldn't let anyone touch it. She would never give away old things. And I'm worried, will she pierce my ears on a whim? I haven't pierced my ears before. Will it hurt? Was the technology for piercing ears in ancient times very backward? What if it gets inflamed? 】

System: [……]

You've thought it through so thoroughly, I would have thought you were actually looking forward to it.

Bao Xiruo was getting ready to go out, so of course she couldn't dress like a peasant woman anymore.

She sat in front of the mirror and untied her hair. Liu Yixuan came over to help her do her makeup.

He identified the bottles and jars on the dressing table: [I've never even seen these things before. The first time I use them is in such a grand manner. 】

System: 【Well... as long as Bao Xiruo's face is not painted like a monkey's butt, it shouldn't be a big problem with her looks.】

Bao Xiruo was born with fair skin, so she didn't need to use powder to whiten it. Liu Yixuan only applied a layer of facial rouge on her, used black powder to shape her eyebrows, spread rouge on her cheeks to add color, spread lip balm on her lips, and mixed some powder to dot on her neck and wrists.

Xue Chen gradually realized the fun of it: 【It's like painting, it's quite interesting. Level 2 skills don't seem to be enough. I feel I can do better!】

System: 【Calm down.】

Xue Chen: 【Don't worry, after getting the skill points, I will definitely add life-saving skills first. If nothing unexpected happens, makeup will definitely be the last thing to add. 】

The system just felt relieved when he heard him say: [Should I also put on some rouge and powder? 】

The system was shocked: [Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid that your father and your brother will find out? 】

Xue Chen was speechless: [What are you thinking about? I'm talking about Xiao Liu! Of course, the original body must maintain a good personality. I really don't plan to immigrate to Mars! 】

System: [……]

Xue Chen: [Xiao Liu's appearance can only be described as androgynous. It's all because of women's clothing and this weak body that people think she is a girl. If she can use makeup to modify it, she won't be afraid of being seen by those sharp-eyed people. 】

System: [Is that so? 】

Xue Chen: [What else? I find that you are getting more and more perverted. You keep thinking about all kinds of things in my mind all day long. My brain is about to become a garbage dump. 】

System: [……]

After dressing up Bao Xiruo, Liu Yixuan pointed at the cosmetics, then pointed at her own face, and looked at her embarrassedly.

Bao Xiruo smiled slightly: "Just use them."

Liu Yixuan picked out a few of them, used light-colored Hu powder to modify the contours of her face, drew eyebrows and eyes, and lightly applied lipstick. Her pale face had a little more color, and was set off by the apricot-yellow long skirt, as bright as peach blossoms.

The princess's trip was very grand, even if Bao Xiruo did not plan to leave the city, but just strolled around the nearby streets.

Butler Jian prepared the carriage, and two teams of guards followed behind, a total of forty people.

Bao Xiruo took Xiao Liu through the garden of the palace and stepped on the white jade slabs to the gate of the palace.

Wanyan Kangzheng came back from outside. He was wearing a red robe, a golden crown on his hair, and a golden belt around his waist. He looked very noble. When he saw Bao Xiruo, he asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

Bao Xiruo: "The weather looks nice. I want to go out for a walk with your sister Liu'er."

Liu Yixuan bowed slightly.

Wanyan Kang's eyes fell on him, and he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do, can you take me with you?"

Bao Xiruo: "Don't you want to learn martial arts with the master today?"

Wanyan Kang: "I have to hurry before the master comes. When the master asks, I will tell him that I went out to accompany my sister. I am also polite and considerate, and the master will definitely not blame me."

Bao Xiruo: "You are used to being lazy. Taoist Qiu is strict with you for your own good. It will not hurt to learn more skills."

Wanyan Kang smiled and said, "If the master doesn't make sense and still punishes me, you must plead for me and say a few good words."

As he said that, he climbed into the carriage.

Bao Xiruo and Liu Yixuan also got on the carriage.

Liu Yixuan was a little reserved in front of this noble brother, but when she saw him staring at her, she smiled softly.

Bao Xiruo held Liu Yixuan's hand: "Kang'er is most afraid of his master, but he is also very naughty and always likes to make his master angry."

Wanyan Kang is only thirteen or fourteen years old this year. He is very short and looks small. He has a lively expression and looks like a naughty child.

He complained to his mother a little unhappy: "Save some face for me in front of my sister."

System: [Why is he like a different person? When we first met, wasn't he very jealous of you?]

Xue Chen: [He is a beauty hound. 】

In the original novel, Wanyan Kang had no special feelings for Mu Nianci at first. He found that Mu Nianci was very beautiful, so he wanted to take her body. After he succeeded, he planned to coax her back to his hometown and let her wait for him to come and marry her. It would be best if she waited for a lifetime and never saw her again.

Unexpectedly, Bao Xiruo and Yang Tiexin committed suicide for love, and his identity was exposed. He changed from a noble little prince to what he called a "lowly and humble man in the world". Mu Nianci still didn't leave him, and Wanyan Kang treated her with a little more respect.

Wanyan Kang was very well-behaved in front of his mother. He behaved properly and looked at Liu Yixuan curiously: "Are you a noble lady from a certain family?"

Liu Yixuan smiled and shook her head.

Wanyan Kang: "I saw that you had a very refined temperament, and I thought you were one of my uncles' relatives. I hope you won't blame me for saying some unkind things to me when we first met."

Liu Yixuan nodded.

Wanyan Kang: "Are you sick and can't talk?" Bao Xiruo

: "Kang'er."

Wanyan Kang said to his mother in a coquettish way: "I am concerned about my sister. I am not angry. Don't you agree?"

System: [Why is he like this?]

Xue Chen: [In the original book, he is already eighteen years old, but he is still like a child in front of Bao Xiruo. I can only say that Bao Xiruo is fooled by this. I guess she really treats him as a child. She always thinks that his badness is that the child is ignorant and his nature is still good. That's why she can't bear to treat him harshly. He is fooled by his coquettish and silly words.]

The system understands: [This method works every time. He always plays the role of a child who has not grown up in front of Bao Xiruo to avoid punishment, and then enters an endless cycle of coquettishness.]

Liu Yixuan looked at him and nodded gently.

[Beep - the synchronization rate actually increased at this time! ] The system felt the sarcasm that Xue Chen had said before.

[How much did it increase? ]

[A full 5 points! The current synchronization rate is 43%, and there are 5 skill points to use.] The system said, [Will you tolerate this little green tea for the sake of synchronization in the future? ]

[How can you say tolerate? It's easy to control him, so there's no need to get angry with him. ]

When Xue Chen was talking to the system, Xiao Liu sat upright in the carriage, smiling lightly, with clear eyes. He seemed to have no ulterior motives and could be seen through at a glance. It seemed that he really didn't care about Wanyan Kang's offense at all.

Wanyan Kang asked: "Where is my sister from? Is there anyone else in the family?"

System: [Is there any deep meaning in his asking this? ]

Xue Chen: [See if she is a noble or a commoner, so as to decide the attitude towards her. Bao

Xiruo: "Your sister Liu'er's family members are all dead. I adopted her as my adopted daughter. You and I are her family members. Be good and don't be naughty, otherwise I will have someone send you back to the mansion and let your master teach you."

Wanyan Kang nodded: "I will definitely be obedient. I finally got out, don't send me back. If the master knew that I was hiding from him, he would be so angry that he would whip me."

Xue Chen: [……]
