The palace maids looked at each other, not quite understanding the rules he was talking about. The Xuan Shuang said, "You still don't understand? For example, a rich guest of a brothel is in a room surrounded by a group of girls. He blindfolded himself and groped around, trying to see which beauty he could hug. What a scene of a butterfly playing with a flock of flowers! Right now, it's just an exchange of male and female identities, do you understand? "
The group of palace maids blushed when they heard him use the brothel girls as a comparison. The Xuan Shuang originally wanted to say that some emperors also did the same when they teased their beloved concubines. However, if word got out and people gossiped about it, it would be hard to avoid being disobedient. He didn't want to take this risk for a group of palace maids who didn't know anything, so he changed his words at the last minute.
A small girl smiled and said, "A guest chasing ten girls is much easier than ten girls chasing a young master. If we all blindfold ourselves, who would know where you are standing? "The Xuan Shuang said," You're afraid that I'll take the opportunity to run away, right? You're really a loyal servant. This prince doesn't understand. You're happily staying in the Snow Song Palace, eating, drinking, and playing every day. Instead of living in paradise, you're always thinking about running away. What's wrong with you? "
The palace maid said angrily, "I'm just asking about the rules, yet you're so fierce." The Xuan Shuang said, "What, you're tired of listening to this prince's scolding and want to become the master, so you're here to lecture me, isn't that right?" The palace maid stuck out her tongue, not daring to argue with the Xuan Shuang.
The Xuan Shuang didn't give up and said, "If you can think of the problem, how can I not?" He took out a small bell from his sleeve and tied it on his belt in front of everyone, saying, "I'm wearing this bell. It will ring and show you the way. Are there any questions? Can we start now? " Some of the palace maids closed their eyes and memorized the sound of the bell. Then, they giggled and covered each other's eyes with handkerchiefs.
The Xuan Shuang glanced at them one by one, nodded, and snapped his fingers, indicating that the game had officially started. Then, she held the bell with two fingers and swung it vigorously. At the same time, she advanced and retreated among the palace maids. After a few turns, her feet didn't stop, but her hands began to move. She slowly untied the bell and stealthily moved towards the inner chamber of the hall. Just then, a palace maid stretched out her arms and felt her way over. Her Xuan Shuang flashed behind her and used two fingers of her left hand to pinch her long braid, pulling it down to distract her attention. Her right hand quickly cooperated and tied the bell to the knot on her sleeve.
He had secretly practiced this technique several times, and was extremely skilled in it. Success was achieved in the blink of an eye. As soon as he finished tying a dead knot, he immediately used his lightness kungfu and slid to the corner of the hall without touching the ground. Using the 'Gecko Wall Climbing', he climbed up the corridor pillar and onto the roof beam. Then, he spread out his limbs and slowly crawled to the center of the hall. He held his breath and carefully observed the movements in the hall.
The palace maid who had been 'framed' by him felt her braid being pulled so hard that her scalp hurt. She guessed it must be the Xuan Shuang playing a prank on her. She immediately turned around and threw herself forward with open arms. But she missed. Her movement was so large that the bell on her sleeve rang. She heard the incessant ringing of the bell and thought the Lord Baylor Ling was hiding on her right. She staggered several steps to the right. The palace maids couldn't distinguish the sound of the footsteps, so they could only rely on the bell. When they heard the sound, they all threw themselves toward the source of the sound.
The Xuan Shuang had promised that if they performed well, she would reward them. The palace maids worked hard every day, and their monthly allowance had to be carefully calculated and spent sparingly. They all wanted to make a small fortune, so they worked extra hard. Not too long afterwards, five or six people cheered together, "Caught it! Caught it! " Even those who didn't manage to grab it also clapped their hands and cheered. One after another they took off the blindfold. As soon as they looked, they were greatly disappointed. They saw a palace maid standing in the middle of the hall. Her eyes were still covered with a handkerchief, her hands were raised horizontally. She was staring blankly, not knowing what to do. One person hugged her waist, three grabbed her arms, two grabbed her legs. It was a spectacular sight.
When the palace maids around her realized they had grabbed the wrong person, they pushed her away and called out, "What are you doing here? Where is the Lord Baylor Ling? " The palace maid was inexplicably grabbed, she even nearly cried out, "Help!". When she heard the Xuan Shuang had been caught, she thought her sisters were deliberately obstructing her so that they could monopolize the reward. She was anxious to reason with them. As soon as her arms were free, she hastily pulled down the blindfold. She looked around the hall, but the Xuan Shuang was nowhere to be seen. The palace maids were staring at her with their eyes wide open. She was completely confused. "Why did you catch me?" She asked curiously, "Where is the Lord Baylor Ling?"
Everyone stared at each other for a long time. Finally, a palace maid with a round face and sharp eyes pointed to her sleeve and said, "Look, isn't this the Lord Baylor Ling's bell? Just now we heard this sound … "Everyone thought it was right. The short and small palace maid said," The Lord Baylor Ling is playing with us! Aiyo, don't tell me it's the golden cicada shedding its carapace trick? "
The oldest palace maid was relatively calm. "Everyone, don't panic," she said, "Perhaps the Lord Baylor Ling hasn't played enough and is hiding in a corner. After a long time, he fell asleep. Besides, we didn't hear the sound of the door panel just now. He definitely hasn't run out yet. Let's do it this way, let's split up and search this hall inside and out. Let's not disturb the Noble Consort Yun first. "
The palace maids were worried about being punished, so they were all hoping to find the Xuan Shuang before Shen Shiyun learned about it. They ran around the hall and called out, "The Lord Baylor Ling! The Lord Baylor Ling! "A few of them went under the table, a few of them went under the window, a few of them opened the cabinet door and called out repeatedly.
Xuan Shuang leaned on the beam and thought, [After a long time, I will fall asleep in a corner, won't I? What nonsense! Do they think I'm a little kid? Look at their posture, they are like a group of ducks being chased by a crocodile and running away in all directions. 'Quack quack quack, quack quack quack.' " He was used to telling jokes only to himself, but his imagination was vivid. What he saw in front of him was really a group of ducks. "Pfff!" he burst out laughing. He quickly covered his mouth with both hands and tried hard to hold back his laughter until his face turned red.
After a short while, a group of palace maids gathered in the hall and reported that the search was fruitless. The short palace maid had the worst temper. She said angrily, "I've said it before, don't spoil the Lord Baylor Ling too much and play these games with him. Now that we've lost him, who can bear the blame? Humph! I don't want to die with you! " Before anyone could stop her, she rushed forward and pulled open the two doors. She screamed, "Not good! Someone come quickly! The Lord Baylor Ling has run away! Someone come! "
The Imperial Bodyguards guarding the door were also shocked when they heard this. They rushed into the main hall with their spears and looked around. They said anxiously, "The Lord Baylor Ling was closely watched by all of you. How could you let him run away?" The round-faced palace maid stammered and explained the situation. The Imperial Bodyguards were anxious and angry. They also helped to conduct a carpet search in the hall. An Imperial Bodyguard rushed out of the room and shouted, "I saw the window of the Lord Baylor Ling's room was wide open. I'm afraid he ran away from there!"
The leader was furious and shouted, "Then why aren't you chasing after him?" She turned around and reprimanded the palace maids, "Noble Consort Yun told you to keep a close eye on the Lord Baylor Ling. How did you do it? You can't even keep a close eye on a little child? I'm telling you, if this time he goes out to stir up trouble, Her Highness will blame you. You'll all be ready to be flogged! "
The short palace maid felt indignant. She muttered in a low voice, "It's not our fault. Xiao Ah Ge has his own hands and feet. Who knew he could be this cunning?" The older palace maid glared at her and said, "Don't say anymore! Right now it's more important to find him. "The palace maids and the Imperial Bodyguards did not have time to discuss. They rushed out of the main hall like a tide, searching in all directions while shouting and shouting.
The Xuan Shuang's face was happy. He said in his heart, "Go! Go and find me! When you are all gone, Ye will slip away. I won't play with you anymore. " Unexpectedly, the noise below gradually died down, but there were still two palace maids in the hall. They were looking outside, not leaving.
The Xuan Shuang thought, "What are they doing?" After waiting for a long time, he finally saw that the two were guarding the main hall, waiting for news. The Xuan Shuang thought, "They are really stupid. If I run away, do you think I will come back and walk right into their trap? This won't do, I have to deal with them as soon as possible. " He looked at the two palace maids' position and gently exhaled, blowing a cloud of dust from the beam. The two palace maids' posture did not change at all, as if they did not feel anything.
The Xuan Shuang thought, "Ay, that's right. These two have never practiced internal energy, they can't hear the sound of the dust falling. I used the method of attracting the attention of a Wulin master to deal with them. Even holding my breath is superfluous. "After searching his body for a while, he finally found two marbles in his trouser pocket. He crawled behind the two palace maids and placed the marbles on the tip of his index finger. He aimed at the empty space in front of the two palace maids. With a push of his thumb, the two marbles' whiz, whiz! 'flew out and hit the ground, bouncing up a little.
As the marbles fell, the Xuan Shuang also circled his legs and with a push of his arms, he leaped down and quietly landed behind the two palace maids. Taking advantage of the fact that their line of sight was distracted by the marbles, he raised his palms and accurately chopped the back of their necks, one on each side. Seeing them fall to the ground, he stepped forward to pick up the marbles and put them back into his trouser pocket. He did not forget to sigh and say, "The evil you bring upon yourself is the hardest to bear. If the two of you were willing to come to me obediently, nothing would have happened, and you wouldn't have to suffer another palm strike for no reason. Why do you want to stay here and wait for the rabbit? I am not a rabbit! "Looking up, he saw nobody in front of the door, so he ran away.
He ran around the courtyard several times, occasionally hiding behind the flowers and trees. He saw palace maids and Imperial Bodyguards searching everywhere. He heard voices shouting, "Lord Baylor Ling? Hurry up and come out! "he shouted. The Xuan Shuang thought, "It was not easy for me to escape, I must be cautious in handling things. I must not be caught again."
Seizing the right opportunity, taking advantage of the blind spot, he dashed out from his hiding place and ran several steps. Seeing the uniform of the Imperial Bodyguards and palace maids' uniforms swaying, he thought, "I am really stupid. Why didn't I think of stripping that palace maid's clothes to cover myself? Who would recognize me? "But if he went back now, he was afraid that he would be blocked in the Hall. It was not a good idea. First, he loosened his hair and moved forward stealthily.
He arrived at a simple and crude wooden house. It was Li Yijie's residence when he first entered the Palace. After several years, it was vacated and became an empty house. The Xuan Shuang had never paid attention to this dilapidated wooden house. He was just about to go around when he heard shouts coming from behind him. Anxiously, he bent down and hid behind the fence. He saw a group of Imperial Bodyguards patrolling nearby in neat formation. For a moment, he did not dare to get up.
After waiting for a short while, he had no choice but to crawl to the front of the wooden house while the guards were turning around. He pulled the door open and dashed in. He hastily bolted the door, leaned his back against the door, and let out a long sigh. Then he leaned close to the door and looked outside. He saw the Imperial Bodyguards pacing back and forth endlessly, without any intention of leaving. The Xuan Shuang was anxious. He thought, "This dilapidated wooden house has been in disrepair for many years. They can't come here to search. I wonder if there is a back door here? "
As soon as this thought came to his mind, it was as if a ray of light shone through a hole in the ground. He could not sit still any longer. He turned around and walked into the depths of the wooden house. The lighting in the room was very poor. It was pitch-black and blurred. The Xuan Shuang had only taken a few steps when he tripped over something. The object seemed to be quite big. He heard a low groan. The sound was muffled, but it was especially clear in this eerily quiet wooden house.
The Xuan Shuang was startled. After he steadied himself, he hastily flicked his torch and looked forward. He saw a person lying on the ground. Although he was a person, he was motionless, no different from a corpse. His body was badly mutilated. His white robes were almost completely soaked in blood. His legs were strangely twisted. His body was bound by iron chains and his shoulder blades were pierced. There were several bloody wounds on his neck caused by steel wires. Several large chunks of flesh had been cut off from his right forearm, exposing his white bones. A section of bloody intestines was hanging out of his lower abdomen.
The Xuan Shuang was surprised that such a terrifying corpse was hidden in the Snow Song Palace. He had not known about it at all. He turned his head and saw that his hair was disheveled and his face was dirty. His face was also stained with blood. He mustered up his courage to check his breathing. Before he could calm down and feel the circulation of his breath, the person's eyes suddenly opened. Two sharp blade-like gazes shot straight at the Xuan Shuang.
