Yan Ziqing refused to listen to her, so she was acting out of anger.
But this time Yan Ziqing did not intend to follow her. Although he knew in his heart that Chen Hongnian's affection for him was true and he really liked Chen Hongnian, he was unwilling to establish a relationship with Chen Hongnian too early before his matter was settled. , after all, until their family's case is overturned, her brothers are afraid that they will not allow Chen Hongnian to marry him. Even if the case is overturned, he is not sure whether Chen Hongnian still loves him, or whether she will regret it.
Thinking of these variables, he felt that he would be irresponsible to Chen Hongnian if he could not have deeper contact with Chen Hongnian.
Therefore, he just silently patted the soiled pillow and placed it on the stool beside him. Then he sat in front of the table and fell asleep on the table.
He blew out the candle, and the inner room was filled with moonlight.
After a while, there was silence in the inner room. However, there was only a sweet smell suddenly ignited in the inner room. Sensing that the smell was wrong, he immediately covered his mouth and nose and took out something from his clothes. I bought a bottle of antidote and drank it for myself.
After that, he immediately looked in the direction of the door with vigilance. He saw only a hint of scarlet at the door, and only a wisp of fragrance burning. It was obvious that the fragrance was coming from the direction of the door, and the people in that direction were not the only ones in that direction. There was no one else but Madam, so he just quickly moved in the direction of Chen Hongnian. He didn't know what Chen Hongnian's situation was now. However, when he came to Chen Yannian's side, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the bed tent. At the same time, the man pulled Yan Ziqing into the bed tent with just one hand.
When the bed curtains swayed and the moonlight fell, the two people who shot at the same time could clearly see each other's faces.
Chen Yannian, who was covering his lips with one hand and holding Yan Ziqing, breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yan Ziqing put an extra pill he had taken out into Chen Hongnian's lips. He explained to Chen Hongnian in a very low voice, "This is the antidote. Swallow it quickly."
Chen Yannian nodded slightly when he heard this.
For a moment as the moonlight swayed, tiny points of light fell into each other's eyes.
After Chen Yannian chewed the antidote, she stood up and held Yan Ziqing's arm. Then she whispered, "Ziqing, the man outside doesn't know what to do. You lie down here first so that we can set up an ambush." "
After hearing Chen Hongnian's words, Yan Ziqing naturally understood that the other party was not talking nonsense, so at the moment he just cooperated and lay beside Chen Hongnian.
A moment later, after the aroma filled the whole room, the door suddenly creaked quietly, and then there was a small rustling sound from the friction of clothing.
Yan Ziqing was lying on the edge of the bed. Although he pretended to be still asleep, his whole body was tense at the moment, just like a sword about to be unsheathed, or like a bow being fully drawn with arrows. As long as the other party made the slightest movement, He must directly shoot the dart in his hand into the opponent's body.
The thin voice sounded closer and closer to them. However, after waiting for a moment, the person outside the bed did not open her bed curtain. She just sighed, and then opened the curtain that Tanliang had just opened. The window closed again.
After doing all this, the man turned around and closed the door.
Now it seemed that this person did not want to harm them. He might just want to see if he was staying in the inner room as he wished.
Then, when the man left, Yan Ziqing immediately stood up. However, as soon as he stood up, there was a loud bang outside the room. At the same time, the ground in the entire room trembled faintly, and even with this tremor, the room The fine dust on the beams just fell down. At this moment, people almost thought that there was an earthquake.
Yan Ziqing immediately subconsciously protected Chen Changnian, but a moment later the whole world fell silent again.
"It's okay. It seems like there's some movement outside. I'll go take a look." Yan Ziqing suggested.
However, Chen Yannian hugged his arm and said, "If you want to go, take me with you! Otherwise, I won't let you go!"
Hearing Chen Changnian's words, Yan Ziqing could only say helplessly, "Okay, let's go together, but you have to promise me that no matter what you see, you can't be impulsive."
Chen Yannian just nodded immediately.
Seeing Chen Hongnian nodding in cooperation, Yan Ziqing also said to Chen Hongnian
He said, "Please wait in the room first."
Chen Yannian only nodded when he heard this, and then Yan Ziqing gently opened the door a crack.
At this time, I saw a stick of incense burning on the eaves of the door. It seemed that Mrs. Li Zheng was a cautious person. In order to prevent her from checking her room again in the middle of the night, Yan Ziqing decided to treat her the same way. She was a human being, so he directly pushed a scent-sniffing powder into her room.
Of course Mrs. Li Zheng had not fallen asleep at this time, but this incense powder was different from the choking smell of ordinary incense. It only exuded a gardenia scent. Mrs. Li Zheng had a gardenia at home. , so when Mrs. Li Zheng smelled the fragrance of flowers, she didn't have any unnecessary thoughts or alertness. She just thought it was the gardenia blooming outside the window.
So after smelling the fragrance of the flowers, she gradually fell into a deep sleep.
And Yan Ziqing was obviously a rigorous person. After he estimated that the fragrance of flowers was almost diffused, he only deliberately made some noises that were loud enough for Mrs. Li Zheng to hear. If Mrs. Zheng was still awake here, she would probably hear this sound. He got up, but at this time the wife here didn't respond at all. It seemed that she really fell asleep. Yan Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then he turned around and came to Chen Hongnian. He said to Chen Hongnian, "That's it." ,Let's go."
After hearing Yan Ziqing's instructions, Chen Yannian also quickly jumped out of the window, and then the two of them approached the direction of the sound at the same time.
The moonlight was like flowing water, and the two of them were running quickly on the roof. At this time, every house here was almost deserted. Compared with the crowd when they first entered the village, the silence at this moment was just like a huge tomb.
At the same time, there was only another loud rumble from the Forbidden Mountain not far away. At the same time, they seemed to be able to see a fire in the depths that almost shattered the moonlight.
This kind of sound, this kind of fire light, feels like a firearm, and this firearm is probably quite powerful.
For a moment, Chen Hongnian seemed to understand something. Among the people, let alone firearms, even weapons were not allowed to be forged privately. Not only did everyone here have weapons, but they also seemed to be tinkering with firearms.
How dare ordinary people tinker with this? After all, tinkering with this is a capital crime and an attempt to rebel.
But these people have no taboos about this, so what kind of place could this be?
For a moment, Chen Changnian seemed to completely understand what Yan Ziqing meant.
This is indeed not a suitable place.
However, the more this happened, the more dangerous Yan Ziqing was at the moment. For a moment, Chen Changnian was just glad that he was by Yan Ziqing's side. .
When Yan Ziqing saw Chen Changnian's eyes falling on him, he suddenly turned around and said, "What's wrong with Ah Chang?"
"It's nothing, just what you said to me just now, you have to be careful yourself and don't act rashly now." Chen Hongnian only caught up with Yan Ziqing and said the same thing.
Yan Ziqing smiled and replied, "That's natural."
The two of them immediately gave instructions to each other, then immediately used Qing Kung and headed towards the forbidden mountain of the village.
The two then walked all the way through the treetops, and they didn't know how long they walked before they got close to the place where the fire started.
Except for the vast forest outside the Forbidden Mountain here, most of the trees in the middle area have been cut down. These trees were harvested from the local area, and many tree houses were built during this period. Many people in the house were busy here. Some of them are forging iron, some are burning iron, and some are busy forging various iron weapons.
With the sound of ding-ding-dong-dong, this place seemed to be a huge weapons forge.
Unexpectedly, this village, which seemed very ordinary during the day, would look completely different once night fell, and it was obvious that many of these people did not look like ordinary villagers.
But thinking about it, there seemed to be no complicated procedures for them to enter the village, and they would hardly check the origins and backgrounds of the people who entered the village. As long as they could hand over twenty taels of silver, they would almost always let them in. This method of entering the village almost eliminated the possibility for most ordinary people.
After all, who would have to choose Yunhu Village, which is not recognized by the court, unless they are desperate? And most people can't afford twenty taels of silver.
Therefore
No matter how you think about it now, it seems that it can only prove that many people in Yunhu Village are desperadoes.
And continuing forward, they can find that there are many mines here, and many people transport iron ore out of the mines in a steady stream.
Not far from the mine, there was a cannon. The fire just now seemed to be caused by the cannon blowing up the mine.
Many miners just stood not far away and waited. After a while, the dust and gravel broke apart, and everyone saw the newly opened mine gradually appearing.
It turned out that they were not making firearms, but mining iron ore, but even so, looking at the scale of their manufacturing, Chen Hongnian could not take it lightly.
After observing the general situation of the Forbidden Mountain, Chen Changnian was ready to leave here with Yan Ziqing.
After all, the two of them are just here to explore the secrets of the Forbidden Mountain. Now they have probably seen the secrets of the Forbidden Mountain clearly, and with the strength of the two of them, it is obvious that they cannot catch all these people and kill them. Control, so there is no need for them to stay here anymore.
Just as Chen Changnian and Yan Ziqing were about to leave, a beautiful woman wearing a white skirt and filial piety suddenly walked up not far away.
There was only a scar deep enough to show bone on the woman's left cheek.
