Chapter 104: Human Skin Mask
r mind, you were worse than a dog, but the smile on her face became even brighter. She smiled and raised her hand, her fingertips gently touching his cheek, saying: "Your Highness, I was wrong. Would..."You little rascal! Are you intentionally trying to scam people Our carriage was following the right path, and you suddenly dashed out in front of us. I wouldn't blame you for startling my horse, but you're blaming me instead" The coachman was furious, raising his whip as if to strike Er Ya.
"Enough!" A voice, laced with authority, echoed from within the carriage. "We've just arrived in Fengqi City. It's best to avoid unnecessary trouble. Besides, we haven't got time to waste here."
The coachman, upon hearing this, begrudgingly lowered his whip. “You’re lucky today, bumping into my master on a good mood. Otherwise, you’d have had a rough time.”
The coachman drove the carriage forward, and the few carriages following behind gradually passed out of Er Ya's sight.
Er Ya was still somewhat indignant. She turned her eyes, but Qin Luo Yan’s figure was nowhere to be seen. Just as she was getting anxious, she saw Qin Luo Yan emerge from the crowd. However, her gaze lingered longingly on the distant carriage.
"Miss, do you know those people" Er Ya looked at her with strange eyes and couldn't help but ask.
Qin Luo'yan gave a faint smile and shook her head, "I don't know."
It's impossible not to know, this whole family was once very kind to her. However, Qin Tiancheng was actually transferred back to the capital This twist of fate has given Qin Luoyan a glimmer of hope for the future. After all, she's someone who holds grudges. She and Wutong almost died at the hands of the general's wife, this debt must be repaid.
The two of them rented a carriage at the city gate. The carriage wheels rolled, and the carriage moved further and further away from Fengqi City. Inside the carriage, Qin Luoyan couldn't help but lift the curtain to look back. What would Fengqi City be like six months later when she returned
In the Wuxuan Prince's Mansion, someone sent a white tiger. The tiger was confined in an iron cage, its fierce eyes glaring at those around it.
Fu Zi Mo took a piece of bloody flesh from his attendant's hand and threw it into the cage. The tiger gritted its teeth and snatched the meat, devouring it in large bites.
"My lord, Miss Qin has left the capital," Jinmu walked in from outside the courtyard, seeing the white tiger without changing his face.
Fu Zi Mo let out a cold snort. "She couldn't wait to leave."
"Qin girl has only been gone for half a year, she'll be back soon." Jin Mu also imitated Fu Zi Mo's action and threw a piece of meat into the cage. But the tiger didn't even glance at it, walking straight to the other side of the cage. "Oh, this beast has some spirit"
"Of course, or else how would I have accepted it" Fu Zi Mo ordered someone to clean the fresh meat that the tiger refused to eat. Only then did he pick up a white cloth beside him and wipe his hands. "Six months Do you think this King could wait six months"
"What did the Wangye mean by letting Qin Girl leave" Jin Mu became even more puzzled.
Fu Zi Mo wiped his hands clean before heading to the study. "We've been searching for Tianji Pavilion's nest for so long and haven't found it. Do you think following Qin Luo Yan would make finding it easier"
Jin Mu's steps faltered, he stared in shock at his master's retreating figure. So that was what all this was for He quickly followed after him and asked, "Has the master already sent someone to follow"
"Someone was following us, but as we approached the Tianji Pavilion, they became useless. It's said that the Tianji Pavilion is surrounded by intricate mechanisms. Do you think those people could get in" Fu Zimo smiled calmly, walked to the bookshelf, and pressed an unknown mechanism. The bookshelf slid open on both sides, revealing a secret compartment inside. He took out a box from the compartment.
Inside the box lay a human skin mask. He picked it up, the mask, thin as a cicada's wing, was very light and finely crafted.
Jin Mu looked over in astonishment, then suddenly came to his senses and exclaimed in alarm, "Your Highness is planning to go yourself"
"The secrets of the Tianji Pavilion are also suitable to be made public. I said before, if they can be used by me, of course it is best. If they cannot be used by me, then they must not be left to the enemy." Fu Zimu covered his face with a human skin mask. The mask seemed to have an automatic stretching function, quickly adhering to his skin, instantly presenting a completely unfamiliar face. "This is also good, at least this time going to the Tianji Pavilion can still have a beautiful companion."
Jin Mu remained silent. The beauty kept him company only because she was Qin Girl. If it were anyone else, would the King be so interested
This sentence, Kaneki couldn't say out loud. Some things, when even the person involved isn't sure, saying more from others only invites trouble.
The location of Tiangji Pavilion is over 800 miles away from Fengqicheng. The nearest city is Yucheng, which is not very prosperous and is an ordinary inland city. There is a large river running through the center of the city, and mountains surround it on all sides, with many handsome peaks and picturesque scenery. Therefore, Yucheng is also a popular place for literati to visit.
The carriage took five or six days to reach Yucheng. Qin Luoyan prepared to rest in Yucheng with Er Ya for a night, and go to Tianjigu the next day. After all, once they reached Yucheng, Tianjigu wouldn't be far away, and they should be able to arrive within a day.
After visiting several inns, they were told that all of them were fully booked. This surprised Qin Luoyan. How could all the inns in a city that wasn't particularly prosperous be full Could there be some major event happening in the city
Finally finding an inn with a vacant room, Qin Luoyan and Er Ya were exhausted to the point of collapse. Seizing the opportunity while the shop assistant delivered hot water, Qin Luoyan voiced her question that had been lingering in her mind.
"Little Second Brother, is there some big event happening in this city Why are almost all the inns full"
The shopkeeper lad set down the hot water and answered with a grin, “You two must be first-timers in Yucheng. But have you heard of Tiangji Pavilion It’s the famous Tiangji Pavilion known for its intricate mechanisms and weapons”
"The Celestial Mechanism Pavilion, of course I've heard of it. So, how is this matter related to the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion" Qin Luoyan asked nonchalantly.
"Of course! The Tianji Pavilion recruits disciples every three years, and in a few days it will be the day of recruitment. Naturally, there are quite a few people who have come from all directions to participate. Every craftsman who comes out of the Tianji Pavilion is a sought-after talent by various forces. If I were a craftsman, I would also go for a try. Once I enter the Tianji Pavilion, I would be one step closer to success!"
The shopkeeper looked envious and shook his head, "It's a shame, I know nothing about that side. I don't even know which lucky ones will enter the Heavenly Machine Pavilion this year."
The shop assistant shook his head and walked out of the room. Er Ya poured hot water into a basin to prepare for Qin Luo Yan's wash, suddenly Qin Luo Yan was lost in thought, "Miss What are you thinking about"
