Meng Suige hurriedly lit the lantern and came closer, watching Yao Yao bring out a strange thing.
He asked curiously: "What is this?"
Yao Yao shook his hand and said simply: "Key."
Meng Suige was stunned for a moment, the key, how could there be a key that looked like this? It was as sharp as a knife, and the thin blade and body were covered with countless bumps and shapes of different shapes.
She held the box close to the lantern and looked at the keyhole carefully. The keyhole was extremely small. In other people's eyes, it was just a dark gap. But in Yao Yao's eyes, there were twists and turns of light and dark inside, as well as several imperceptible obstacles, casting a dark shadow. shadow.
This kind of lock is specially made. If an inappropriate key is put in, once it hits an obstacle in the keyhole, the mechanism in the box will be triggered and the contents in the box will be destroyed.
Yao Yao took a deep breath and steadily put the strange key into the keyhole.
This key is extremely thin and flexible, and very cleverly avoids obstacles in the keyhole.
The key was gently picked and hooked at the end of the keyhole, and then slowly turned for half a turn, and then it could no longer turn.
But the lock remained motionless and showed no reaction.
Meng Suige and Gu Chen looked at each other in surprise.
Gu Chen smiled: "Ah Yao, it's not like you haven't slipped the door to pick the lock for so long, your skills have been wasted."
Yao Yao snorted, glared at Gu Chen, lowered his head and continued to open the lock.
She looked calm and unhurried. She hooked the key on the bulge at the end of the keyhole and turned it half a turn in the opposite direction.
There was only a "click" sound, like the sound of nature, and the lock was released.
The three heads immediately came together and looked at a key lying quietly in the open iron box.
After a moment of silence, Yao Yao suddenly whispered: "Why hasn't anyone come yet?"
Gu Chen knocked Yao Yao on the back of the head and smiled: "You really want to fight!"
Meng Suige said in a deep voice: "Coming soon, someone will follow us as soon as we leave the Governor's Mansion. Even if we have to crawl, we should be here by now."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clanking sound coming from the door, as well as a short and shrill scream.
The three of them seemed to have expected it. Meng Suige quickly grabbed the key and put it away close to his body, while Yao Yao locked the iron box and held it tightly in his arms.
As soon as they finished doing this, the door was violently smashed open. A group of men in black broke in with swords, and many dark heads were exposed on the wall.
The leader saw the iron box in Yao Yao's arms at a glance. He shook the big knife in his hand, and the iron ring on the back of the knife made a clanging sound.
This knife must have been old. The dark moonlight fell on it, and the light was gray.
The leader had his face covered, his eyes were small but energetic, and his eyebrows were filled with a ferocious look. He shouted sternly: "You bitch, hand over what you have in your hands, and I will spare your life, grandpa."
Yao Yao arched his eyebrows and cursed with a smile: "Oh, your uncle, if you can die in our hands, you, an old boy, are really smoking on the ancestral graves, but reincarnation is a technical job, You have to be careful in your next life, if you end up with a pig fetus, who will you talk to to explain it to you?"
Gu Chen chuckled: "Pig fetuses and dog fetuses are pretty good, but if this old boy does too many evil things and ends up in the eighteenth level of hell and will never be reborn, then there will be no place to cry."
The leader was choked by Yao Yao and Gu Chen's barrage of words. It took him a while to realize that he had been scolded. He was so angry that he didn't notice anything wrong with the relaxed and calm appearance of the three people in front of him. , only thinking about chopping them all up, he swung his sword with force and rushed towards Yao Yao.
One person moved, and the others' tense nerves were also broken, and they rushed over immediately.
But when they rushed over, they discovered that the three people in the yard were so calm that they didn't even move their faces. They looked at them coldly, as if they were looking at a group of dead people.
The leader was also shocked, but there was no turning back.
He swung the knife in his hand wildly, and afterimages made ripples in the night.
At this moment, the sound of fluttering arrows resounded, and dozens of feather arrows shot through the air.
These feather arrows were fired in a very orderly manner and did not hurt anyone. They only pierced into the ground one after another, blocking the way forward and retreat of the man in black.
The leader was shocked and angry. He was furious in the arrow forest and yelled: "You are so fucking shameless. You are conducting a sneak attack. If you have the guts, you can fight me with real swords and guns."
Yao Yao smiled brightly, with a sarcastic look on his face: "We are here to save face for you, do you understand? This is a big mess for nothing. You can't even beat us with a real gun or a sword. You can't beat us anymore." It would be so boring to vomit blood and die because of anger."
The leader's cheeks trembled and the corners of his mouth twitched. When he saw Yao Yao's shining eyes, he became furious and wanted to chop her into pieces with a knife.
Meng Suige didn't give these people any time to think, and only said two words coldly: "Take it."
The group of men in black suddenly felt something ominous, and panicked and opened their posture to defend against the enemy, but they had already lost the opportunity.
For a moment, swords and swords were flying, and arrows were falling.
There was no wailing sound, they were all captured alive, and they were taken down without even giving them time to crush their fangs.
Yao Yao and his party did not come simply to get the key. They mainly came to capture a few people from the Four Saints Sect. To get the key was nothing more than hunting rabbits.
The hall of the Governor's Mansion was brightly lit and filled with the aroma of wine. King Xie Mengxia of Han Dynasty's loud voice even drowned out the sound of dancing and music, and he was faintly drunk: "Master Yuan, Governor Yuan, the banquet you set today is very suitable for me. Hiccup..." He let out a big belch and continued drunkenly: "It's very much in line with this king's wishes."
The big slaps hit Yuan Zhengrong's shoulders one after another. His shoulders were so painful from the slaps, and his body became smaller little by little. He was a well-educated civil servant, and someone like Xie Mengxia had a weak stomach. The reckless man who only had a few ounces of ink and could only shout and kill was different. He couldn't bear his big slap. He smiled awkwardly, but there was a little contempt and disgust hidden in the depths of his eyes: "These are the duties of a humble minister." As long as your highness is happy, your humble ministers will be happy."
Xie Meng Xia Le's eyebrows were squeezed together, and his eyes were almost slits from laughter. He let go of the maid's hand and held Yuan Zhengrong's hand tightly without letting go. He opened his mouth and poured in the hot wine. He slapped on his face: "Old Yuan, I really fell in love with you at first sight." As he said that, he touched Yuan Zhengrong's hand twice.
Yuan Zhengrong was so disgusted that he almost cried. He wanted to be killed. He couldn't shake off Xie Mengxia's dishonest hands, so he turned around to look for rescuers. At a glance, he saw Han Changmu, who was having a drink with Wang Cong. and Leng Linjiang.
He shouted ecstatically: "Young Envoy Han, Mr. Leng Shaoyin, come on, come and have a few more drinks with His Highness."
Han Changmu and Leng Linjiang had already seen Xie Mengxia's cunning and Yuan Zhengrong's embarrassment. They turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to Yuan Zhengrong's voice. They both seemed to be drunk and continued to laugh and drink with a confused look on their faces.
At this moment, a maid came into the hall carrying a fruit plate, placed it carefully on the dining table, and bowed.
Han Changmu raised his eyes and glanced at the maid, and saw the maid nodded slightly, and he smiled knowingly.
Within a moment, Han Changmu swayed and leaned his head on Leng Linjiang's shoulder, looking like he was about to vomit after drinking too much.
Leng Linjiang quickly pushed Han Changmu away and curled his lips in disgust: "Jiuzhao, what do you think you can do if you can't drink enough? You're going to vomit. Hurry up and stay away from me. My newly made clothes, my hair Once you get up, don't get it dirty by me."
Wang Cong gently put down the wine cup and smiled: "Young Master Han is too drunk. I will accompany him to the side room to rest for a while."
Leng Linjiang smiled and nodded: "Then I have Deputy Lieutenant Lao Wang. I'll have a few more drinks."
Wang Cong nodded, stretched out his hand to pull Han Changmu, and put his arm on his shoulders: "Don't worry, Leng Shaoyin."
Wang Cong supported Han Changmu and walked out of the hall heavily. When he walked outside, the cold wind blew and Wang Cong's head hurt a little.
He also drank a lot of wine today in order to make excuses. The drunkenness on his face was originally 70% fake, but when the cold wind blew, he was 78% drunk.
His steps staggered a bit. He still had things to do now and he couldn't really get drunk. He braced himself and helped Han Changmu into the side room.
The wing outside the hall had been prepared a long time ago, so that officials who had drunk too much could have a place to rest and sober up during today's meeting.
In the season of ice and snow, there are no flowers that are pleasing to the eye in the northwest area. There is an incense burner in the corner of the wing, and a wisp of green smoke swirls out, and the faint and sweet fragrance is diffused.
As soon as you enter the door, there are two small beds and a dining table. A two-fold flower and bird screen blocks the front of the hot bed. The hot bed is covered with thick mattresses. If you lift the mattress, you can reach out and feel the extremely hot heat of the hot bed.
Han Changmu was already very drunk, his eyes were slightly squinted, his cheeks were red, and his hot breath had a strong smell of alcohol.
His body was limp and allowed to be manipulated by Wang Cong.
Wang Cong took off Han Changmu's leather boots and placed him on the kang. Seeing that he was still asleep, he thought about it and thought of his brother's words. Wang Cong hesitated for a moment, then untied Han Changmu's belt and loosened his robe. Throwing it on the ground, he shouted toward the door in a low voice: "Come in."
There were two stamping sounds from outside the door, and then a tightly wrapped girl in a cloak and hood walked in, with a pair of goose-yellow embroidered shoes stained with a little mud.
Wang Cong said calmly: "Take off your clothes and lie down next to him."
The girl hesitated for a moment, then took off her cloak and put it aside. She lowered her head and stared at her toes without moving.
Wang Cong couldn't bear it and handed over a bottle of wine: "Drink some wine first, so you won't be afraid when you get drunk."
The girl bit her lower lip fiercely, took the wine, tilted her neck, and poured more than half of the bottle of wine. A trace of redness appeared on her face, and her bright eyes were a bit misty.
