"Hey! Are you alone?"

The maid's tone was obviously anxious. Her task was to keep an eye on Master Fang Huan and Miss Yuan Bei and prevent them from running around. This was the imperial palace, and it contained important secrets of the Gou Longbang clan. If they ran around and got wind of something, wouldn't that be a big mistake? But she knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it. Could it be that Fang Huan and Yuan Bei had left, leaving only this little monk alone?

"Everyone is here!"

The little monk was not very good at lying. He was anxiously pacing around the round table in the room. How could he answer? He couldn't imitate the voices of Fang Huan and Yuan Bei. He gradually became anxious and prayed in secret, "Please come back quickly, otherwise the matter will fail."

"If you don't open the door, I'll ask the guards to bang on it!"

The maid's attitude was very clear. She didn't respect these guys. She was usually humble and servile just because she had to do her job. But now the mission was about to fail, so why should she be polite?

"You stay here!"

The maid ran away with a fierce look on her face. In order to give them enough space, there were no guards in the inner courtyard of the Golden Pavilion, but there were guards outside. The maid ran very fast. The maids in this palace were not toys for others to play with. They were guards hidden in the open. After the woman left, the woman who stayed behind held the door with one hand, and no one could get in.

When the guards break open the door, the truth will be revealed. At that time, even if Monk Xuyun is there, they will have to get out of the palace and stay in Guyun Tower. If they live there directly, not close to the palace, how can there be so many problems? But these guys always have evil intentions.

“Good opportunity!”

Seeing the maid walking away, Xia Xiao urged his energy to drag Ah Zhu with the wind, circled the Golden Pavilion, and entered through the back window. Although this place was not connected to Ah Zhu's room, he could just use his energy to break through the wall, which was not a big deal. The wind dragged the bricks, so the sound of them falling was not loud. In front of the door, the maid came back and said hurriedly:

"Bump it open!"

The guard with the shield pushed the door open twice. The little monk rushed to block it, his face flushed as if he had done something bad and was exposed.

"You can't go in!"

Each room has a decent living room. Go inside and turn a corner to find the bedroom. The little monk stood in front of the maid who rushed in front, not letting her go any further. But the maid raised her slender legs and kicked the little monk in the chest, making him roll on the ground for several circles.

The little monk was stiff, and although he coughed a few times, he quickly got up and followed the two maids and the guards, but he was stunned by the scene in the bedroom. He took a look and was completely dumbfounded. What...what was going on?

The young monk felt that he had violated the precepts and turned around quickly, but the maids were also stunned and felt that they were in big trouble.

The bedroom floor was full of clothes, including some private clothes. At the other end, the thin gauze of the ** was pulled up, and Xia Xiao, who was standing outside, was wearing a pair of loose pants. Judging from the shape of the pants at the waist, it seemed that they had just been pulled up, and because they were not worn properly, the bulging external oblique muscles on both sides of the lower abdomen were exposed.

"So many people, what are they doing?"

Xia Xiao put on his best cold look and stepped forward, as if he was going to kill those guys who spared his pleasure. A drop of sweat fell from Xia Xiao's forehead, which made him look more realistic. The maid panicked. It was obviously unwise to interrupt such a thing, but she quickly explained:

"Let's make sure you're there."

"The little monk didn't say anything?"

The short and dark monk said that he had said it many times. Xia Xiao stood in front of the maid, getting closer and closer to her. This kind of approach is the best way to defeat a person's defense. And this barbaric maid who had been knocking on the door before no longer had any of her previous arrogance.

Xia Xiao raised his chin towards the little monk, as if he wanted to seek justice. He could see that the little monk had been kicked.

"He already said we were here, how dare you barge in?"

"We were abrupt."

"Do you know what a guest is?"

Xia Xiao's sudden roar made the woman's body tremble slightly, and her chest with animal skin and animal patterns trembled even more violently. Xia Xiao raised his palm and slapped the maid in the face. With the crisp sound, the guard was stunned, and the little monk was even more stunned.

Xia Xiao seldom hits women, but if he tolerates it forever just because she is a woman, he is a real wimp.

Two guards stepped forward. A foreigner dared to fight in Gou Longbang's house. He was really tired of living. But before they could raise their shields, Xia Xiao had kicked them away. They penetrated the wall and completely smashed the wall that Xia Xiao had previously made a hole in.

The maid was a little cold when she saw him doing this, but Xia Xiao's face was calm and he only said one word.

"roll!"

The maid hurried out, and the guard was in a worse state, fainting and falling behind the attic. Xia Xiao pulled up his pants, put on some clothes casually, and told Ah Zhu that he could come out.

Pulling aside the veil, Ah Zhu cleverly stuck his head out. Although the room was in a mess, with several holes on the north side and a brick falling down, once the maid left and the guards outside the attic were also moved away, the room became unprecedentedly quiet.

"Did you slap her?"

Now that the danger had been averted, Ah Zhu began to care about this. Xia Xiao shrugged, with an expression that said he would just slap her.

"If she didn't kick you, then she wouldn't have slapped you. But she touched you, why are you so soft-hearted?"

Although what Xia Xiao said was right, the young monk didn't care about her kicking him, and didn't want Xia Xiao to slap her. In the final analysis, this matter was their fault. If it wasn't for the master, the young monk would definitely refute Xia Xiao. This wrong idea is not about flexibility, but about principle. The maid was performing her duty. If she was treated violently like this, wouldn't it be too unfair?

Seeing the little monk's face turn red, Xia Xiao didn't care. On the way to the royal court, he also observed this little monk. He was not good at expressing himself and was a bit stubborn. It seemed that Xia Xiao was destined to have no affinity with Buddha. He couldn't care so much. It was not that he couldn't observe it, but that he didn't want to care.

"Where's the Master?"

When Ah Zhu stood up and his excited heart gradually calmed down, the little monk finally spoke. But Xia Xiao did not give an accurate reply, he just said:

"On the way back."

The young monk patted the dust off his clothes and walked out. It was a mess here, and he wanted to wait for his master to come back. He always felt that he had done something wrong, but the real right and wrong had to be judged by his master.

"What's wrong with him?"

Ah Zhu picked up the clothes on the floor, shook off the dust and put them in the closet. These were all clean clothes. If Xia Xiao hadn't wanted to create such a scene before, she wouldn't have left the clothes on the floor. Farmers' children take extra care of their clothes and often sleep naked to avoid wearing out their clothes.

"have no idea."

Xia Xiao put on his clothes and poured himself a cup of tea. A ten-year-old child, imitating Buddha's way of thinking about the wilderness every day, was tiring to think about, but he must have enjoyed it.

Holding a cup, Ah Zhu ran to Xia Xiao and asked:

"How do you know this method can scare them?"

"Monks are most averse to beauty, and this is a more serious problem than meat and wine. If they find out we are having sex, they will be horrified. Moreover, we have asked the little monk to guard the door outside, which is equivalent to knowing the emperor's embarrassing things and facing the emperor's assassination at any time. Even if they are locals and the masters of this land, they are afraid of getting into such trouble. Do you understand?"

Xia Xiao bit the edge of the teacup and roughly understood it.

"You didn't do that in the princess' room?"

Ah Zhu dragged out her words and said that she didn't have any. She wasn't a real pig and knew that she couldn't leave any clues to prove that they had been there. Xia Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Things weren't as bad as he thought. Soon, the official in charge came with the maid to apologize.

The previously arrogant maid had her hair disheveled, and her red and swollen face had lost all traces of her delicate and wild beauty, obviously having been slapped hard. The steward was weird and like a eunuch, but eunuchs had never appeared in the Gou Longbang clan. That kind of existence was greatly criticized by the Gou Longbang clan, but what this steward did was not as good as the eunuchs.

The steward handed the rope tied around the maid's neck to Xia Xiao, as if from now on, he was the master of this woman, and he could trample on her as he pleased. Xia Xiao was not interested, but felt that this matter was too much, so he explained a few words and said that he did not want to make a big deal out of it.

Xia Xiao's attitude was a good thing for the steward, otherwise if it got to Lord Long Xuxiao, he would be punished. The steward was submissive and led the woman away. Soon after, someone came to repair the wall, and Xia Xiao and Azhu sat in another room, waiting for the senior to come back. The little monk was more anxious than them, and he went to meet Monk Xuyun as soon as he stepped into the door of the Golden Pavilion.

The young monk first confirmed the authenticity of the task Xia Xiao had mentioned, and then recounted the story one by one. He didn't know when Xia Xiao came back, probably a few minutes before the maid came in. The fat monk comforted the young monk. Although he usually disciplined the young monk like an abuser, he was very patient in this matter. Only when the fat monk promised that he would not let the young monk participate in such things in the future, could he continue to practice with peace of mind.

The little monk sat cross-legged outside the door, breathing, and looked like he was about to become a practitioner. When Xia Xiao was his age, he was also struggling to become a practitioner. Although he was successful now, he had also become a jerk.

"Senior, we have to find a way to get the necklace back openly."

"Tomorrow, when I boil medicine for the princess, I will suggest to Longgu that the necklace has a bad effect on the princess's health and bring it back."

Xia Xiao thought it was feasible. With Long Gu's unusual concern for the princess and the problem with the necklace itself, he would definitely be able to bring it back. He had a chance to get it before, but if he took it back secretly, there was a chance that he would be discovered, so he had to find a long-term plan so that he could conduct research openly.

Xia Xiao pondered for a long time at the table, his frowning brows not relaxing for a long time.

"I always feel that there is something fishy going on in this palace. All the people of the Goulongbang clan are in disguise. The lions, tigers, eagles, falcons, and dense guards inside are not protecting the people in the palace at all, but are on guard. There may be something underground that makes them dare not disguise easily. They can only send out an extremely exaggerated number of people to guard every corner."

The fat monk Xuyun listened to it and said something meaningful.

"The underground is not necessarily hell. Besides the countless corpses, there are also colorful caves with stalactites. The sky is not necessarily paradise. It is still a place where countless people flock. But the world is definitely hell. Human greed is the starting point of all disasters. As human beings, we cannot reveal the secrets of heaven and cannot eliminate greed. We can only face the consequences of greed and then try our best to erase them."
