Chapter 174 There are spies among us
Due to Mu Yun's arrangement, what happened that night was not spread. Except for those who participated, no one else in the South Palace knew about these things.
The next day, Shuifu went to the North Cave before breakfast as usual.
Seeing Shui Fu's hands empty, Cui Hengyue was curious: "Why didn't you bring food here today? Do you know that I will definitely win?"
Shui Fu stood in front of Cui Hengyue and looked at her with a gloomy face: "Did you get into trouble again?"
Cui Hengyue's eyes flickered: "...No."
"No?" Shuifu raised her eyebrows and said in a suspicious tone, "Then why did the master give the order not to allow any of us to bring you food?"
Did King Chu, this bastard, want to starve her to death?
Cui Hengyue was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Her calf, which had been whipped by the King of Chu last night, also began to hurt.
Shuifu saw her expression and confirmed her guess: "You must have gotten into trouble. Tell me, what did you do?"
"I......"
Cui Hengyue wanted to refute, but the words turned into a sigh: "Oh, I just released Xie Yu..."
"What?" Shui Fu exclaimed, "You actually let Xie Yu out? How could that cause a huge commotion?"
Too shocked, Shui Fu couldn't help but leaned forward and grabbed Cui Hengyue's shoulders with both hands: "What happened next? What did Xie Yu do out here?
"Did you go to assassinate the master? How about the master?"
When asked about this, Shuifu paused: "No, when I went to Shenyin Palace with my wife in the morning, everything in Shenyin Palace was normal.
"Crazy girl, let me ask you, where is Xie Yu now?"
Why are these people so nervous when mentioning Xie Yu?
Is Xie Yu really that powerful?
It's a pity that she didn't see with her own eyes the scene where Xie Yu faced off against the masters of the North Hall.
"Xie Yu was imprisoned back to the South Cave again." Cui Hengyue said calmly.
Shui Fu was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't believe this, and then breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's okay to be locked up."
After a pause, Shui Fu asked again: "What did Xie Yu do last night, and how was he caught?"
As far as she knew, Xie Yu was very powerful in martial arts, and almost no one in the North Palace could be his opponent, unless... the people in the North Palace joined forces.
Cui Hengyue looked confused: "I don't know either. When I arrived, I heard that Xie Yu had already been arrested."
"How could you not know? Didn't you let Xie Yu go? Then you should be with him."
"I..." Cui Hengyue turned away irritably: "I don't know."
Seeing this, a light flashed in Shui Fu's mind and she said in shock: "Oh, you must have been deceived by Xie Yu, right?"
Cui Hengyue's face froze: "You...how do you know?"
Shui Fu smiled: "Of course I know, because Xie Yu is such a person. He always crosses rivers and burns bridges without any sense of friendship."
"..."
It turns out that Xie Yu is such a person.
Cui Hengyue walked around Shui Fu with a cold face and walked straight out: "It's time to compete."
The two of them arrived in silence all the way to the side hall of Bodhi Pavilion.
Huo Feng had already been waiting for them in the side hall. There was a food box on the table next to him, and the aroma wafted out from it, making people salivate.
"Old rules, let's get started."
Huo Feng said something, then rushed towards Cui Hengyue and struck hard with both fists.
Cui Hengyue hurriedly avoided and attacked Huo Feng's lower body at the same time.
After ten moves, Huo Feng stood in the palace: "If you lose, the food will be mine."
After saying that, he picked up the food box and left the side hall.
Shui Fu looked at Cui Hengyue with sympathy: "Crazy girl, what should you do?"
"Don't look at me with that look. You won't die if you're hungry." Cui Hengyue kicked the stool angrily and walked out angrily.
...
Misfortunes never come singly, Cui Hengyue lost to Huo Tao again at noon and lost the lunch in the North Hall.
After going to the South Hall, she participated in the Ksitigarbha Pavilion competition with Song Zhuoxing and Li Bier, but lost again and did not get the food from the South Hall.
Everyone went to the dining hall to eat, but Cui Hengyue was the only one sitting on the stone steps of the big courtyard, all alone and looking very lonely.
"Bring the steamed cakes with you, don't let them find you."
After Song Zhuoxing finished his instructions, he stared at the surrounding guards warily, and quietly hid the steamed cakes in the bowl into his wide sleeves.
Runzhu also hid the steamed cakes in his bowl while the guards were not paying attention.
After eating, everyone left one after another.
"stop."
The guards stopped Song Zhuoxing and Runzhu: "Keep the food on you."
Song Zhuoxing and Runzhu's expressions suddenly changed.
They obviously didn't look here just now, how did they know?
Chen Guang came over: "Song Xiaolangjun, I advise you to hand it over obediently, otherwise it will not look good if you search yourself."
Seeing the people around him looking over, Runzhu lowered his head in shame and whispered, "Sanlang, let's..."
Only halfway through his words, Song Zhuoxing took out the steamed cake hidden in his sleeve.
Chen Guang looked at Runzhu again.
Their eyes met, Runzhu quickly handed over the steamed cake.
After handing over the food, Chen Guang let them go.
"stop."
Hearing this familiar voice, Song Zhuoxing stopped and looked back towards the dining hall, where he saw Li Bi'er and Su Biwen being stopped by the guards.
Faced with Chenguang's "body search" warning, Li Bi'er and Su Biwen handed over their food and then left in dejection.
"Sanlang, they..." Runzhu said in surprise: "They stole food, could it be because of Miss Cui?"
Song Zhuoxing did not answer. When Li Bi'er and Su Biwen came over, he suddenly said: "Ms. Li, Mr. Su, you just..."
Su Biwen turned away his face awkwardly and hummed: "We are not ungrateful people. The little lunatic won the table for us. We appreciate her kindness and naturally we cannot let her go hungry."
Sure enough.
Song Zhuoxing raised the corners of his lips slightly. Although he failed to steal food, Li Bi'er and Su Biwen took the initiative to care about Cui Hengyue, which proved that his efforts these days were not in vain.
"There is a spy among us." Li Bi'er said coldly.
Several people's expressions suddenly changed.
Su Biwen looked at Li Bier: "Why do you say that?"
Li Bier glanced at the dining hall: "Let's go to the courtyard and talk."
So, several people came to the big courtyard, but when they saw Cui Hengyue sitting alone on the stone steps, they stopped in their tracks.
"I'll go over there, you guys wait for me here."
After Song Zhuoxing finished speaking, he ran to the stone steps: "Miss Cui..."
Hearing Song Zhuoxing's voice, Cui Hengyue raised his head and looked at him with shining eyes.
Facing those expectant eyes, Song Zhuoxing felt guilty and felt ashamed to face her.
He lowered his head and said, "Ms. Cui, I'm sorry. We originally helped you get steamed cakes, but when we left the dining hall, we were discovered by Lieutenant Chen."
The light in Cui Hengyue's eyes disappeared instantly, and she said with a lonely expression: "It doesn't matter."
The next moment, she smiled again: "However, I still want to thank you and Runzhu for everything you have done for me."
Seeing the smile on her face, Song Zhuoxing felt even more guilty: "It's not just Runzhu and I, in fact, Li Bi'er and Su Biwen also brought food for you.
"However, they were also discovered by Lieutenant Chen."
Cui Hengyue was shocked: "Li Bi'er? Su Biwen? How could they..."
Stealing food for her?
