Late autumn looked up in confusion. Under the moonlight, Ke Zheng was laughing maniacally, to the point of even somewhat nervous and terrifying. She had never seen such a fearsome master. In her impression, the boss of the "broken sword cliff" had always been a calm and reserved person. Even in front of Yue Hua, he had always been a kind and gentle father.
After feeling that it was too dangerous, she lowered her head, not daring to look at it any longer. However, a sense of ominous foreboding rose in her heart.
In the distance, his Jian Qiuying's brows were slightly knitted. His expression was solemn as he looked at the berserk and trembling Ke Zheng, his gaze carrying an undetectable depth. It was just that he had always been calm and expressionless, so it was customary for him to be expressionless.
"Good, good, good. You did well." Ke Zheng stopped laughing, and repeatedly praised Late Autumn.
"Your subordinate's responsibilities lie, so I didn't dare to claim credit for it. Now, little …" Right now, the Second Manager is still in the mansion. This subordinate wants to take advantage of the darkness to hurry back so that she won't find out. " Late autumn was confused by Ke Zheng's praise, but her heart was clear like a mirror, and did not become confused and disoriented like the others.
"What for?" Ke Zheng's attitude really changed as he said those words, and immediately restrained his smile and sternly said, "Moonlight, whether or not you can come back with us will still depend on you."
"My lord, I am just an ordinary servant in martial arts. Besides my medical skills, I can still see it. I really don't know where else I can use it."
"Didn't you say that Yue Hua is your blood sister?" Ke Zheng reminded him out of good intentions.
"Your subordinate is slow-witted. You are just an ordinary servant in late autumn. You cannot take on such a big task." It was natural that she had heard the meaning behind Ke Zheng's words. The Lord had precisely planned to use his Xiao Sui's trust in her to lure her out of the Fourth Prince Palace.
"You're really as dumb as you seem to be. You don't even understand the hint." When Ke Zheng heard this reply, she did not get angry, and only thought that she did not understand what she meant, "You can go back tonight, but you need to bring a letter."
Ke Zheng searched everywhere, and then came to a realization: "I came out in a hurry, I forgot to bring ink and paper."
"Without this paper and ink, how would this letter be written? "Late autumn, what do you think?" The gaze of the Ke Zheng was cruel and cold, as though it was trying to swallow a person whole.
After a while, she tore off a piece of fabric from her dress, bit her finger, and started writing on it.
Ke Zheng looked at the woman who was crouching on the ground with satisfaction, and nodded his head, "As expected of someone from my broken sword cliff. Remember, killers are always this decisive, and for the benefit of the cliff, doing this is obviously the wisest choice."
He turned around and ignored the woman's tottering, emaciated body, "Go on." I look forward to the good news tomorrow. " With that, he disappeared into the pitch-black night.
Tonight, the moonlight carried a tinge of blood-red, destined to cause some people's hearts to be restless.
She didn't know how she managed to return in the late autumn, so she avoided the guards at the door and agilely landed in the Xiao Sui's room. The girl on the bed had a blush on her young face. She was sleeping soundly, and knew nothing about what was going to happen the next day.
"Miss, I'm sorry. Please forgive me, but it was all my fault." She stood in front of the bed for a long time as if she was sculpted from stone before she hurriedly left until the sky lit up in the east. But this time, when they met again, she would not be the late autumn in Xiao Sui's heart.
They rushed over to the agreed location, and Ke Zheng was already there.
"How is it?"
"Everything will be done according to Master's orders. The letter has been delivered."
"Not bad, we'll do as we planned in the afternoon. You did well in this matter, Evening Autumn. You will be rewarded greatly when you return. If you want anything, just let me know. Hahahaha."
"I want kinship. Master can afford it." However, she naturally did not dare to say these words, and only lowered her head even more respectfully. She restrained the pain and regret in her eyes, "Thank you, Master, for making such a contribution to broken sword cliff, this subordinate has done so for you."
The next morning, Xiao Sui was awoken by the sun as he blurrily got up from the bed. Looking at the irritating sunlight outside, Xiao Sui stretched his body, "Strange, why hasn't autumn come to wake me up today?"
"Late autumn? Late autumn? " He sat on the bed and called out a few more times. In the past, if he called out Xiao Sui like this, then autumn would appear in front of him at the first moment. Today, other than the irritating chirping of birds, nothing else happened.
"How preposterous! That girl, late autumn, she's slacking off again." He got off the bed and put on his shoes, "How boring. She clearly told me to wake up in the middle of the night, but she just overslept." His mouth was parched from the previous calls and he casually poured himself a few cups of cold water from the water bottle on the table for the night. Xiao Sui suddenly noticed the torn fabric under the water bottle.
"What is this? The color of the cloth is so strange?" Doubtful, he put down the cup and picked up the piece of cloth. With a single look, he realized that it wasn't some strange flower that was walking around. It was clearly a small word written in blood.
"Miss, come and save me." These few blood-red words caused Xiao Sui's eyes to pop out of their sockets, but they still endured the anxiety and continued to read. Below them were a few small words, and they were written at a certain location, Black Street South Alley!
Xiao Sui put away the cloth, his heart was in turmoil, it seemed that the black clothed people were really coming for him, they were even willing to kidnap him for the sake of him.
"No, late autumn is innocent. Her background is already very pitiful. I can't just leave her alone!" What kind of place was Black Street in South Lane? One could tell by the name that it was not a good place. Everyone in the capital seemed to have seen a ghost when they talked about it.
Not even beggars would be willing to go to that dark alley, and there was also a deserted cemetery a few miles away. There was not a single soul in the area, and this place was not in the city, but in the suburbs.
The letter had mentioned that he would only let her go, or else he wouldn't be able to guarantee his life in the latter part of the autumn. This made the Xiao Sui very upset.
Wouldn't it be like sending a sheep into the mouth of a tiger if he went alone? However, his Shi Jinchen was no longer in the Palace and his grandfather, the butler, was an outsider as well. Furthermore, he was already too old, so it would be best to not let him get involved as well …
She turned around and stuffed the pillow back into the blanket, pretending that she was still asleep. She found out that she was wearing autumn clothes, and then took them out from the rear window.
Avoiding the patrolling guards, he carefully shook off the hidden guards behind him and finally left the Fourth Prince Palace. Xiao Sui looked at the high wall in front of him as he gently pursed his lips, then turned around and left without a shred of reluctance.
