The happy life of a prodigal

That is to say, from today on, no matter what they do, they must always maintain a state of walking on thin ice, as if they are facing an abyss, and vigilance is always the best protection.

I didn't sleep all night, and the next day, it was just dawn.

Fang Xiu put on the tattered padded jacket from before.

Before he said that he had nothing to do, he was actually lying to Zhao Yan...

Because this morning, before dawn, he was going to see someone.

Chapter 566 Sachet

There is no doubt that this person is Xia Yixue...

As for where to meet her, of course it can't be the British government, and it's not sure how many spies from the Secret Service are nearby.

"If you are sick, you can go to the medical clinic near the Kyoto government office..."

In Fang Xiu's mind, the words relayed by Lin Wanqing could not help appearing.

There are several medical clinics near the government office of the capital, but Fang Xiu and Xia Yixue have both been to only one.

Fang Xiu thought so, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked out.

In the morning, it was just dawn.

A beggar appeared in front of a house near the Yamen of Kyoto Prefecture.

This beggar looks no different from other people, but if you observe carefully, you can find the sharpness hidden in his eyes.

This is the place where the imperial doctor Bianchi used to practice medicine.

In the beginning, nearby residents and people would come here to see the former style of Imperial Doctor Bian.

But after a long time, Imperial Physician Bian never came back here after he lived in the Imperial Medical Office, so this other hospital was abandoned.

It's just that occasionally some people who have been favored by Bian's imperial physician come here to sweep the fallen leaves and dust, so that the plaque of Bian's mansion will not be covered with dust.

Fang Xiu was sitting under the plaque, waiting quietly. Occasionally, two passers-by saw him, cursed bad luck in a low voice, and then walked away.

For half an hour, there were not dozens of people coming and going, but there were more than a dozen people, but none of them stayed here.

Just as he lost his patience and was about to leave, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

Xia Yixue...she really came!

Xia Yixue was just like Fang Xiu remembered, cold and icy, wearing a head-catching soap suit, she looked heroic, with a fox fur on the outside.

Fang Xiu remembered that she used to disdain wearing sable fur or fox fur, but she didn't know why, but now she was wearing one.

After Xia Yixue walked out of the Kyoto government office, her eyes turned to his direction, and stayed on him for a short moment.

Then came over.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu wanted to get up, but seeing Xia Yixue winking at him, he didn't dare to move anymore.

At the same time, subconsciously looked around the government office.

He had been waiting here half an hour ago.

He clearly remembered that at that time, there were no small stalls or hawkers around here.

But just for a while, there was a lot more.

In just a split second, he understood what was going on, sat where he was, and stopped looking at Xia Yixue.

But after she walked in, like before, Qi Qiran mourned: "Who kind-hearted person, poor little one, give me a meal, give me a meal..."

Half an hour ago, every time someone passed by, he would shout this sentence.

So, don't worry about attracting others' attention.

I thought that when Xia Yixue walked past him, she would stop for a while.

However, he waited like this until Xia Yixue left, but nothing happened.

Not even throwing down a copper coin.

Could it be that Xia Yixue didn't recognize herself?

Was it just self-indulgence just now?

Soon, he dismissed the idea.

Fang Xiu thought he knew Xia Yixue quite well.

She doesn't care about other things except the official business of the government office, which is a bit of Liu Qing's shadow.

Therefore, it is impossible for a beggar to attract her attention.

And just now, it was obvious that she had winked at him.

It must be somewhere, I overlooked it...

What exactly is it......

Fang Xiu closed his eyes, carefully thinking about every movement, every expression, every look of Xia Yixue when he walked out of the government office...

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

It seems, probably, maybe... What Xia Yixue was looking at was not herself, but the plaque behind her?

Fang Xiu thought about it, and subconsciously raised his eyes to glance at the plaque of the medical hall.

With just one glance, one can see that there is a small sachet hidden behind the plaque.

It is not conspicuous, and it is only possible to see it when standing at the bottom of the plaque.

It turned out that she was already ready!

For the first time, Fang Xiu felt that Xia Yixue was not a female devil who only knew how to use force to solve problems, but a wise man.

At this time, another person walked by his side.

He lowered his head hastily, and said in a mournful voice, "Master, please, please, please..."

Like other passers-by, he ignored it and left quickly.

Fang Xiu raised his eyes and looked around.

At this moment, more than half of the small stalls and hawkers who appeared before disappeared without a sound.

Needless to think, they knew that these were all spies sent by the secret spy department to monitor Xia Yixue, or to monitor the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture.

There are so many people.

In the past, I heard that the secret agents under the Qinjun Mansion were haunted, and they could appear anywhere except in the palace, so I didn't take it to heart.

When things really happen, or when you become the target of the Secret Service, you can truly experience the horror of the Secret Service.

Because it is not sure whether there are any secret agents in the vicinity.

Fang Xiu sat here for a whole day, until night fell, everyone had already left, and the curfew was about to start.

He just got up from the ground, found a branch nearby, and took off the sachet behind the plaque.

Ignoring the contents of the sachet, Fang Xiu put it in his arms and left after making sure that no one around saw this scene.

dong dong dong-

"who is it?"

It was Pearl who spoke.

Fang Xiu didn't give a clear answer, but said, "I'm here to find Miss Wanqing..."

The door opened slowly.

Zhu'er poked her head out, glanced at him, and after confirming that it was him, she breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Mr. Fang, where have you been?

How did we come back, we are all worried to death..."

"I'll explain to you later."

Fang Xiu casually responded and walked into the courtyard.

Except for him, the other five people were all there, and they sat around the stone table.

Hearing the movement, they looked at him in unison, even Liu Qing was no exception.

When Fang Xiu saw their eyes, he subconsciously felt a little... scared.

"You clearly agreed to stay here, why did you run out by yourself?"

The one who spoke first was undoubtedly Fang Ru, a small chatterbox.

Zhao Yan and Lin Wanqing at the side didn't ask, but their eyes clearly told Fang Xiu.

Fang Ru asked what they wanted to ask.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu sat down, took out the sachet from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "I'm going to see someone, a very important person.

Because I was afraid that you would worry, I didn't tell you...

I didn't expect that it would take such a long time. "

"A very important person?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan looked at the sachet, her expression gradually turned cold, and she murmured.

Chapter 567 Map

Seeing this, Fang Xiu hurriedly explained: "It's Xia Yixue, and I haven't seen it. This sachet was found behind the plaque in the Bianchi Medical Hall, so it should be left by her."

Hearing that it was someone she knew, Zhao Yan's expression softened a little, and she asked, "What's in the sachet?"

"I haven't seen it since I got it..."

As Fang Xiu said, he opened the sachet, and saw a piece of faint yellow paper inside.

Spread it flat on the table, there is nothing on it, not a single word!

"Brother, you have been a beggar for a day, and you got back a blank sheet of paper?"

Seeing this scene, Fang Ru once again used her special skill - poisonous tongue.

It has to be said that Fang Ru's ability to make up swords has been practiced to the first-class level, and just such a sentence gave Fang Xiu the urge to let her experience the dangers of the world.

He took a deep breath and said, "It can't be just a blank piece of paper. You should use other methods to see what's on the paper."

After he finished speaking, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, he looked at the curious Zhu'er beside him, and said, "Zhu'er, bring the oil lamp here."

"what?"

Zhu'er was slightly startled, as if she had thought of something, her face showed a look of hesitation, and persuaded: "Mr. Fang, after all, it took you a whole day to get it back, so there is no need to burn it."

"..."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he felt in his heart that ten thousand alpacas were galloping past.

"It's not about burning... Hey, bring the oil lamp here, and you'll know."

He still remembered that a popular science program he had watched once described ancient methods of keeping secrets, one of which was to dissolve alum in water and write on paper.

The characters written in this way are invisible, and only after being roasted by fire will the characters appear.

He doesn't know the specific chemical principle, but it does exist, and it's not a random fabrication in novels and TV dramas.

Therefore, someone like Xia Yixue should also know some similar methods.

He had already figured it out, if it didn't work after the fire, he could only try water.

If the water is not enough...

Just pretend you never got this sachet.

As Fang Xiu thought about it, Zhu Er had already brought the oil lamp over.

"Master Fang, here you are..."

Pearl handed Fang Xiu the already lit oil lamp.

After Fang Xiu took it, he put the paper on the flame of the oil lamp, kept a certain distance, and roasted it for a while.

Except for Liu Qing, the other four looked at this scene in puzzlement, not understanding what he was going to do.
