Chapter 199
Under the guidance of Xiao Naizi, Huo Lian's carriage drove in the direction of Beicheng.
There is an old saying in Kyoto, that is, "The east city is rich, the west city is expensive, the north city is poor, and the south city is cheap." If the south city is full of slaves and servants, then the north city is a proper slum, the most chaotic place in the entire Kyoto.
No matter how affluent the place is, there are people at the bottom struggling to survive in the haze of backlight.
The carriage drove into an alley, and Xiao Naizi finally signaled Qixi to stop.
Qixi looked at the surrounding environment. A small alley was densely packed with more than a dozen families. He always felt that there were eyes in the shadows secretly watching them.
He had long known that something was wrong here, but the eldest young master did not give any instructions to stop, so he rushed the carriage here anyway.
"When did the second prince have such interest and come here to show sympathy to the people?" Huo Lian opened the curtain, not caring about that in a place like this, and jumped out of the carriage lightly.
Xiao Naizi guided Huo Lian into a house in the alley. The wooden door was already tattered by insects. It definitely could not function as a door should. It looked like it could be broken into pieces with just a kick.
"Master Huo, please come in. The second prince has been waiting for a long time." Xiao Naizi bowed respectfully.
"Let's get straight to the point. Who is here?" Huo Lian took out his Qianlong fan and fanned himself like a playboy.
Xiao Naizi's expression froze: "Master Huo is joking, besides the second prince, who else can it be?"
Huo Lian covered his face slightly with his Qianlong Fan and chuckled: "Although the servants around the Second Prince are all named after fruits and vegetables, the thing that the Second Prince hates the most is Nai. If you bear this name, I don't believe you are really here." Serve at the Second Prince’s side.”
All the doors in the alley opened a crack. Amidst the creaking sound of the door opening, countless pairs of eyes looked out from the cracks. The alley, which was not exposed to sunlight, suddenly felt a bit cold.
“Interesting.” Huo Lian put away his folding fan and clapped his hands.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Countless secret guards poured out from all directions, and the sound of "knock bang" kicking on the door was heard endlessly. The fight started instantly at a time when Xiao Naizi did not expect it. The people hiding in the darkness did not expect it to be so sudden, so that they had a slight disadvantage from the beginning. .
A secret guard found a free moment, respectfully returned an inconspicuous ring to Huo Lian, turned around and threw himself back into the fight.
"The place chosen is good. Indiscriminate use of spiritual power in such a small alley will definitely cause widespread damage to the house. When the time comes, it will be blamed on the second prince. Wouldn't it be in vain to offend His Majesty?" Huo Lian leisurely fanned the wind and said One hand was behind his back, as if he was watching some scenery.
"As expected of Mr. Huo, but I heard that Mr. Huo is the most loyal -" Xiao Naizi quickly reached out and grabbed Qixi's neck with his skinny hands like sharp claws.
Unexpectedly, he had two brushes. His speed was so fast that Qixi couldn't react for a while and was captured alive.
Huo Lian's eyes darkened: "I advise you to be kind."
Xiao Naizi smiled sinisterly, grabbed Qixi and quickly retreated into the house.
Huo Lian immediately chased after him. As soon as he entered the house, he felt as if the darkness had turned into reality and was overwhelming, making people lose their vision in an instant.
The fighting outside was so lively, but inside it was as quiet as being isolated from the rest of the world.
The Qianlong Fan, which had a somewhat imperial aura, actually dimmed here!(End of this chapter)
