You are awesome
"Stop, I have something to tell you."
Bai Miaoke took a deep breath and this time covered her face with the quilt, leaving only her furry hair exposed.
The voice came out muffled through the quilt:
"Actually, I'm a killer."
"Yeah." Lu Yu responded softly.
Bai Miaoke felt a big warm hand touching her head through the quilt. She opened the quilt a little and saw through the gap the profile of Lu Yu that had made her heart beat faster countless times.
"Don't you have anything else to say?" Bai Miaoke couldn't understand why he reacted like this. Shouldn't he be surprised, horrified, or even angry that he was deceived?
"Yes, Ke'er, you are really awesome." After saying that, he lowered his head and pecked her on the forehead.
Bai Miaoke finally reacted, pulled back the quilt, pinched his face, and said in a pretended vicious tone: "Okay, Lu Yu, did you know this a long time ago?!"
There was not much extra flesh on Lu Yu's face. Bai Miaoke tried to pinch him for a long time but couldn't find a comfortable angle, so she simply dragged him to the bed and pressed him down.
"How did you know? When did you know it?!" Bai Miaoke found it hard to accept that she had been struggling for so long over whether to confess, but in the end he already knew it.
"I just found out about this a few days ago." Lu Yu was pressed down on the bed, with her clothes and hair in disarray.
After hearing what he said, Bai Miaoke probably guessed that it was that idiot who had guessed her identity, but she was still a little dissatisfied.
"You believed what he said? You didn't even come to ask me?" Bai Miaoke said angrily.
"I love you as a person, not your identity or anything else."
"You can tell me when you want to. We still have a long time. I won't be in a hurry."
Lu Yu was pinned down like this, unable to move, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Miaoke, and every word he spoke was clear and firm.
Bai Miaoke was instantly comforted by his words. The tension caused by confessing her identity as a killer disappeared completely, and she collapsed on him as if she had no bones.
The two hugged each other across the quilt.
"Although I'm a killer, I don't kill many people." Bai Miaoke defended herself weakly, but cleverly did not say that the reason she didn't kill many people was that her appearance fee was really expensive, and she only liked difficult and challenging tasks.
Lu Yu felt the weight coming from her, and gently ran a hand through her dark hair that she had just messed up, and whispered, "Well, it's okay."
This matter has been a secret known only to Xiao Heng and a few good friends in Yueying Pavilion. Bai Miaoke had not even told her father and brother, but she revealed it to him at this time.
Bai Miaoke wanted to share all the pain and happiness she had experienced over the years with him.
Is this what it feels like to love someone? Bai Miaoke thought to herself as she listened to his regular and strong heartbeat.
"My mother died when I was very young. Since then, there were only me and my father left at home. Later, I rescued Xiao Heng and we often sneaked out to play together."
"In an abandoned yard, we found an old man who was blind. Later we learned that he was not only blind, but also had his tendons in his hands and feet cut. He could only sit there and wait to die."
"We found someone to rescue him and went to talk to him every day to cheer him up."
"Only then did I know that he was a martial arts master, but he was eventually betrayed by his own wife, which led to his fate."
"Afterwards, he taught us martial arts and many life lessons, but he insisted on not accepting us as his disciples, saying that he no longer wanted to have anything to do with anyone in the world."
"One day, he disappeared. On an ordinary morning, we searched the entire Bai Mansion but couldn't find him. I really don't know how a person who can't see and walk could leave quietly."
Bai Miaoke suddenly stopped talking here, and Lu Yu couldn't help asking, "What happened next?"
"After that, I never saw him again." After saying this, Bai Miaoke closed her eyes tightly, not wanting to let the tears flow.
Lu Yu said nothing, but put his arms around her, as if hugging the little girl who was devastated by the disappearance of her master across time and space.
The two of them just hugged each other quietly, as if the world had stopped.
Listening to his steady heartbeat, Bai Miaoke fell asleep quickly. When she woke up, it was already getting dark. Lu Yu lit a lamp and sat at the table.
Bai Miaoke quietly opened her eyes and watched him writing something seriously. Before long, she met the man's gaze.
"Are you awake? It's time to eat."
Bai Miaoke exclaimed, slowly got up and rubbed her eyes, and was surprised to find that all the traces of her secret crying before going to bed were gone. It must be that he wiped them for her. She didn't expect that the Prime Minister would be so attentive.
She walked to the table and sat down beside him, leaning against him as if she had no bones, and looked up at what he was writing. She found it was a letter, which detailed the things that needed to be investigated and the people who needed to be careful.
"Who is it written for?" Bai Miaoke asked.
"To the Patriarch of the Xu family." Lu Yu replied.
While the two were talking, someone brought in food. Bai Miaoke sat up straight and said, "Can't you just tell him in person? Why do you have to write a letter?"
"I've packed it for you. You can leave tomorrow." Lu Yu said as he wrote the final signature, folded the letter and put it in Bai Miaoke's hand.
Bai Miaoke took the letter, looked up at his expressionless face, and finally said, "Eat first."
She was a little absent-minded while eating. It seemed like there were two little people fighting in her heart. One said that Chun Xing was still waiting for her in Gusu and she had to go and check on her; the other said that it was too dangerous to leave Lu Yu here alone.
However, Bai Miaoke has never been an indecisive person, and she made a decision after the meal.
After taking a nap in the afternoon, she changed into a nightgown, said goodbye to Lu Yu, and went out by herself.
When he came back, he brought back two masked men who were also dressed in black.
"I will leave early tomorrow morning. Come to Gusu to find me when the matter is settled."
Then he pulled two people in front of him and introduced them: "This is Ying Qi, and this is Ying Ba. Both of them are top-notch masters. Let them protect you first."
The two nodded, without looking at Lu Yu, they just clasped their fists towards Bai Miaoke and said in unison, "Don't worry, Second Master."
Bai Miaoke nodded and arranged for the two to live next door.
"Are these two also killers?" Lu Yu asked after they left.
"Yes, but they will also protect people. They are all reliable, so you can use them without worry." Bai Miaoke just ran two blocks before finding the two killers sent in advance by Yueying Pavilion.
After saying that, Bai Miaoke took out something mysteriously from her arms and handed it to Lu Yu.
This thing was long and looked a bit like gunpowder. Lu Yu took it, looked at it, and asked, "What is it used for?"
"This is a smoke bomb. It's used to escape. Once it is lit, there will be thick smoke all over the sky. Then you just need to run away." Bai Miaoke pointed out the location of the guideline to him.
Before Lu Yu had time to put it away, Bai Miaoke took out a small porcelain bottle from somewhere and handed it to him.
"This is a drug that has a strong effect. If a person inhales even a little bit, he will become weak and powerless, or even faint."
Lu Yu took it with his empty left hand, but before he could say thank you, he saw Bai Miaoke take out another needle-like object.
"This is a Blood and Bone Burial Flower Needle. It is extremely poisonous. If you are unfortunate enough to be caught, you can secretly stab him with the needle. As long as it pierces the flesh, he will die for sure."
Lu Yu no longer had hands to take it, so he looked at Bai Miaoke helplessly and lovingly. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes clearly showed "you are very worried about me."
He put the things away properly, then held Bai Miaoke's hand and said, "Thank you, my lady."
Bai Miaoke couldn't help but laugh: "You need to find me soon."
"Okay, go ahead."
…
On the second day, Bai Miaoke, as planned, took the bag prepared by Lu Yu and left Huzhou on a fast horse.
Gusu is the largest town under Huzhou and is not too far away. It took her less than half a day to reach Gusu City.
Without much rest, Bai Miaoke went to an inn according to the message left by Chun Xing.
At noon, the waiter of the inn was lying drowsy beside the counter. Bai Miaoke asked straight to the point: "Waiter, have you seen a girl with phoenix eyes, a little shorter than me, with double buns and yellow clothes?"
"No, no, I see so many people every day, how can I remember?" The waiter's attitude was very perfunctory.
Bai Miaoke took out a piece of silver and put it on the table and said, "Think about it again."
The waiter's eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, there is, but it's no use telling you, you'd better not look for it."
"Why?" Bai Miao saw that he was still keeping it a secret, so she threw down another piece of silver.
The waiter leaned in and whispered, "That girl came here half a month ago, and she was accompanied by a few burly men. They stayed in my shop for a while, then got into trouble and were arrested."
"What do you mean? What kind of trouble did you get into? Who caught you?" Bai Miaoke asked. If the waiter was talking about Chun Xing, then the people with her were most likely Rong Qing and others.
"I don't know about that." The waiter put away the silver and prepared to go back to be lazy.
Bai Miaoke grabbed his collar to prevent him from leaving. With her other hand, she quietly put a dagger against his waist and threatened, "Tell me everything you know."
"Well, well, well, after they arrived, they searched the streets for someone, and finally alerted the prefect, and they were captured by a group of soldiers. The only one left was the girl you mentioned."
"What about her?" Bai Miaoke's hand holding the knife moved an inch closer.
"Hey, don't worry. That girl left on her own two days ago. I don't know where she went. She must have gone to find someone to rescue the group of people who were captured."
"Maybe he has been arrested by the government now."
Bai Miaoke rolled her eyes and thought that with Chun Xing's personality, it was most likely that she would ask someone for help, so she asked, "If you were to ask me, which family in Gusu City could get the prefect to give face and release the person?"
"That should be the Xu family."
Bai Miaoke realized that he couldn't get any more useful information out of the man, so he let him go and went out in the direction of the Xu family.
He touched the bundle, trying to find the letter that Lu Yu had written specifically to the Xu family, but unexpectedly he found the fish symbol with a piece of it cut off inside the bundle.
Touching the heavy Prime Minister's Fish Talisman, she wondered what Lu Yu had given her for. She couldn't just exchange it for money. She had no idea, so she put the thing away and decided to find Chun Xing first.
While thinking about his problems and asking for directions, he soon arrived at the gate of Xu's mansion.
