Follow pet
The flat-faced man stood up from the ground with stiff limbs and walked around several times before finding his way.
He walked forward unsteadily, step by step, until he reached the top of the room where the goddess was visiting. Then he paused and sat down.
Jiang Nian:?
Is this really controlled by You? Why does it look a bit strange?
Jiang Nian held his breath and looked at the outline of the flat-faced man for a while, while listening to the music downstairs, and then began to look for places around him that could be considered blind spots in the flat-faced man's vision.
Inside the mezzanine, there was nothing but a pile of wooden boxes and this flat-faced man.
The music downstairs was melodious, still the Xiaoxiang tune that I had heard before in Zhuyu Pavilion.
Jiang Nian was trying to find a suitable eavesdropping position before the music ended in order to obtain intelligence. He looked around and suddenly found a blind spot.
If I climb up from this level of wooden boxes, and then use the wooden boxes on the upper level to walk to a position closer to the ceiling of the goddess's visiting room, I might be able to find the perspective of the flat-faced man.
Then you can just climb down to the designated location and listen quietly.
Jiang Nian estimated the feasibility of this plan, and quietly stood up from the ground, touched the surface of the wooden box, and pressed the side of the box, roughly feeling whether this type of box could support her to climb up and walk to the other side.
If the box is of poor quality or does not contain much stuff, it would be embarrassing if it collapses and falls in front of a flat-faced person.
While feeling fortunate that the original owner's body was indeed petite and light, he tentatively stood in a good place and found that there was no noise at all.
Jiang Nian's tense heart relaxed a little. He climbed to the top of the wooden box with both hands and held on to it. Then he used the force to prop himself up. Then he crawled forward a little and landed on the wooden box on the first floor.
She raised her hands and patted her palms gently, then stood up by holding the side of the next box stacked on top of her, and bent down to wipe the dust off the maid's uniform.
The warriors gave her two spare sets of this costume.
In addition to the maid's uniform on the first day that was completely stained with perfume, the one she wore today was the second one that was partially stained with perfume.
As for the first set, before going to bed last night, Jiang Nian couldn't bear to sleep on the bed with the clothes that had been lying on the floor and covered with a thin quilt, so he summoned the maid and secret guard again as if summoning a magical assistant.
After dealing with her two or three times, the maids and secret guards became accustomed to her sudden behavior of calling them.
Therefore, when Jiang Nian handed her the dirty clothes and asked her to wash them or fill a basin with water for her to wash, she frowned and chose the first option.
Now it seems... except that this room lacks a place to wash, life is still the same.
Jiang Nian moved her eyes away from her skirt and looked up at the wooden box on a higher level.
The houses on the top of the first layer of wooden boxes are connected together, so dense that their outlines are solid, and black lines spread from top to bottom like interlaced fish scales.
I wonder if there will be more dust on the wooden box above.
She bent over and took a few steps forward, subconsciously looking back at the ceiling of the goddess' room.
The flat-faced man was still sitting there quietly, not moving at all.
I don't know if the person monitoring the rooftop is offline.
Jiang Nian grumbled inwardly, then continued to look for a suitable place to stay at the bottom of the big wooden box, and then climbed up.
Because of the height problem of the mezzanine.
Although the second wooden box could be stuffed into this mezzanine, there was not much space left for Jiang Nian to move around.
To be precise, you should crawl or crawl to a suitable place if you can't walk upright.
Jiang Nian stepped on the foothold of the wooden box and looked up at the top of the box. He caught a glimpse of a black object out of the corner of his eye.
“…”
She knew that there must be some furry little animals with many legs in this kind of interlayer.
Jiang Nian hesitated and ran to the top of the second box, and then came down with small animals hanging all over his body.
This idea is too terrifying.
So even though I had just constructed it in my mind for a moment, it was shattered by her.
Jiang Nian's arms, which were holding onto the second box, felt numb. They had been bearing the weight of his body, and he was now feeling a little tired.
She lowered her head and tentatively reached for the ground with her feet. When one foot was steadily landing on the top of the first layer of wooden boxes, suddenly another human-like silhouette appeared in Jiang Nian's peripheral vision.
Glancing at the flat man No. 2 who was patrolling on the first layer of the wooden box and was about to sweep over here, Jiang Nian immediately kicked his legs and exerted force with his arms, and quickly stuffed the whole person into the flat space between the ceiling and the top of the second wooden box.
How many of these dolls are there?
What a hassle.
Jiang Nian had no choice but to go up to the second layer of wooden boxes. He didn't plan to stay there for long. His eyes had already gotten used to the darkness of the mezzanine, and the positions of the nearby wooden boxes became clear.
While Flat-Faced Man No. 2 was passing by the wooden box below, Jiang Nian figured out how to get close to the ceiling of the goddess, got off the box again, avoided the forked road made up of wooden boxes that the Flat-Faced Man had taken, and collapsed through the "road" on the other side.
The wooden boxes were placed quite compactly. Jiang Nian paid attention to the attention of the flat-faced men on both sides, lowered his eyes and returned to the mezzanine floor from a slightly remote place.
“…”
Is it really possible for such a person to walk on a wooden box?
And no sound was made.
So strange.
A hazy thought flashed through his mind. After standing firmly on the ground, Jiang Nian didn't know how much dust was on his body. After tidying up his clothes roughly, he sat down in front of the wooden box of Flat Man No. 1.
The music downstairs faded and gradually stopped.
The voices of the goddesses talking below came through the wooden planks with incredible clarity.
—
"Did you find it?"
After fully playing the excuse of "performing singing and dancing", the goddess glanced at the extremely light footsteps gradually receding from the door, and looked indifferently at the guest in front of her.
The distinguished guest from Donglan smiled and spread out his hands: "How could it be?"
"My Lady Goddess, that antidote is extremely precious. I gave you two, but fate played a trick on me and I lost it along the way. There's nothing I can do about it."
The guest's nails seemed to be very long, and the sound they made on the table was a bit harsh.
"Think of another way."
"I can't help you."
“…”
The goddess was silent for a short moment, then spoke again, "Have you searched carefully along the way?"
"Your letter arrived in Donglan too late. Didn't you ask others about the recent changes on the border between Xuanmo and Huandu?"
"After the Third Prince took over, he strictly controlled the entry and exit of carriages and horses."
"Your cargo—"
The guest dragged out the tone and suddenly laughed: "He must have discovered it, right?"
The goddess remained silent and did not continue speaking.
The guest hadn't finished talking yet and kept insisting, "If the Third Prince finds out about this, wouldn't that be considered good luck?"
"If 'those people' find out, we won't be able to get far."
He crossed his legs, swaying up and down. He felt thirsty from talking, so he took a sip of water from the table and said, "Let's find a way to go another way. This one is completely dead."
"——Isn't your plan about to start? Take advantage of this time to find a replacement."
“…………”
The goddess did not respond to his suggestion, but returned to the previous topic and continued to ask: "Where did the person who delivered the goods go?"
"I don't know?" The customer spread his hands, his tone exaggerated with helplessness. "Maybe he encountered thieves along that stretch of road. He wanted to rob the goods, but found that they had no use for any of them. In anger, he killed the transporting attendants. Or maybe he did?"
Seeing the goddess's lowered eyelids, unable to discern the silent thoughts on her face, the guest continued, "Anyway, the servant was completely devastated when we found him. The border route itself is very chaotic. You should have been mentally prepared."
“…………”
During that period, the Wu Mi people kept a close eye on her, especially after she took the initiative to propose returning to Donglan to preside over this mission. Those people already had doubts about her loyalty, and the doubts became even higher when the mission was mentioned.
No one who could even remotely talk to her could bring the antidote in person.
But it was also dangerous for the two antidotes to stay with the Donglan Wumi people. In order to prevent people from escaping, they would search their residences from time to time. Although the two pills were small, if they were discovered, she and everyone related to her would be doomed.
I think about it day and night but cannot do anything to interfere with the hiding place of the two pills. My life depends on the two antidotes. If I don't think about it, it will be like avoiding the problem, which may accelerate my death.
After much calculation, the goddess had to take a step back. She mixed the antidote into the talisman paper and found an excuse that Zuihualou needed more talisman arrays to control the servants and maids, as well as the guests entering and leaving Zuihualou, and sent the batch of talisman paper and antidote from Donglan.
She also thought that she might be the luckiest person.
That's why he has been able to survive among the Wumi people until now.
The group of people who were sent to the Wumi clan with her were either killed or caught on the way to escape and tortured to death.
Only she, with her beauty and a little medical skills, was able to cure several high-ranking people in the Wu Mi sect and gain the favor of the leader. From then on, she began her journey to the top by stepping on corpses.
But the Wu Mi people restricted her too much.
Many of the people who came with her at that time wanted to escape. Who wouldn't suspect that she would also find a chance to run away?
The deeper she gets into the Wumi tribe, the higher her status becomes in the tribe, but the leader becomes increasingly suspicious of her, and the control and restrictions he places on her become more and more severe.
Even if he wanted to find a chance to escape, it was like finding an exit that was different from the nature of the layout in that perfect layout, and then tearing it apart without being discovered by others, to find a place to catch his breath and see the real dawn.
The guest waited for the goddess to speak, but the goddess seemed to have completely realized her own doom and just clenched her fingertips tightly.
The skin on her fingertips turned from red to white, and finally blood oozed out. Her empty, inorganic eyes did not even come back to her senses to realize that her emotions had already found a gap somewhere else and swarmed out.
The goddess sighed, her life was about to end. The guest pondered for a moment, then asked, "I heard there's a very nice little hamster hanging out in Zuihualou. Why not ask her?"
The turmoil in her heart subsided again. The goddess lowered her eyes and caught a glimpse of the gray fingertips that were clenched so tightly that they were bleeding. She suddenly relaxed her strength and let go of her hand.
"What good can she do?"
"Just provide me with some leisure entertainment."
The guest laughed. "There's no need to distinguish between friend and foe right now, right? It's a dead end wherever we go anyway."
"Look at the maid standing outside the door."
He suddenly shifted his gaze away from the goddess and glanced towards the door.
"If I hadn't stood outside and listened to the movement of your music until I gave up the thought of continuing to verify whether you had betrayed the Wu Mi people, then I would have left."
The various factions in Zuihualou.
The goddess glanced at the door indifferently, her expression becoming dull and desolate again, and she said without sadness or joy, "It is worry that has arrived."
"He's quite loyal."
The guest exclaimed in admiration, then added: "Think about it carefully. If you want to be with him... then you have to find another way out."
Noticing that there was another person beside him, the guest did not let down his guard even though he admired the tea. He concealed the true identity of that "him" and then raised his teacup to take another sip.
"That's all I can offer."
The goddess watched him walk out the door, her expression gradually growing colder.
The coldness in his eyes was thick.
Is this the only way?
At the moment of worry, they stopped talking.
It's just that she herself doesn't trust You.
A child whose next move is difficult to predict is the best child to her only when he does nothing.
