On the eaves of the west wing that separates the Crescent Lake, a tall, slender man with a sharp mouth, a monkey's cheeks, and a rat's eyes is lying on it, secretly looking around the Crescent Lake. His eyes are spinning around, as if he is looking for it. who.

Under the roof, another man with a bloated body and pockmarked face pulled out a folded wide-mouthed string sack from behind and handed it to the tall and thin man. He said in detail: "Huangpi, this sack is for holding treasures. You should be more prompt when the time comes!"

"Brother Mazi, just put your heart in your stomach, can we still walk together?"

The pock-marked man looked at each other and he smiled: "Yes."

With that said, the two people crawled towards the roof deep in the Governor's Mansion.

Under the eaves of the house in the west wing, Pockmarked pointed at the innermost room and said, "That's the government warehouse."

"We'll talk about it after it's done while it's still dark!"

"Okay!" The tall and thin man nodded.

The people in front of them were about to leave Crescent Lake and go to the warehouse. Xu Zongwen and Zhang San had noticed the strange movement long ago. When they saw the two people, they followed them. The two followed them and jumped down one after another at the lake.

Xu Zongwen: "Where is the person?" The moment he fell, Xu Zongwen found that the person suddenly disappeared!

Zhang San's face changed drastically, and he lowered his voice and said: "Going so fast? Impossible!"

"There!" Xu Zongwen looked around and found a short man in the corridor on the left. He called Zhang San and ran straight away regardless of the situation.

Xu Zongwen and Zhang San were leaning against the stone wall behind the door, and there were sounds of fighting inside.

The pockmark-faced man and the tall and thin man who had fallen from the roof were heading towards the warehouse with sacks. Two guards behind them suddenly jumped out when the two were not paying attention. They drew their knives and were about to slash at them. The tall and thin man was unprepared and was hit. The handle of the knife was knocked unconscious and had to be dragged away.

When they reached the corner, the two men began to move their fists towards the pockmarked face. Although it was dark, Pockmarked Face heard movement and saw no companions, so he naturally felt a crisis. Suddenly, he felt faint pain in his body!

The fist wind roared, and at this moment two more voices suddenly came from outside the sack.

His expression changed, the guards became more powerful with their fists, and the cries of the pockmarked faces gradually disappeared...

The pock-marked face felt an overwhelming force coming from him. He had been plotted against him and was seriously injured. The blow after blow was like flowing water without stopping. It directly made his chest feel tight, his throat felt sweet, and he spit out a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth!

Not long after, the sack was motionless. The guards lifted the two of them towards the wall of the west wing. Xu Zongwen was about to leave, but Zhang San accidentally knocked over a potted plant. With a "pop-" sound, the guards immediately pulled the guard over. Led over.

"who is it?"

"There are still thieves, go and gather people to catch the thieves!"

On the bluestone road, the bright moon hung high like a mirror, and the night was as cool as water. Xu Zongwen passed by the stone lanterns along the road one after another, letting the faint light shine through his eyes.

Xu Zongwen tightened his eyelids and lazily refused to open his eyes. He was feeling sleepy and his steps began to become unsteady.

Zhang San ran faster than him, and his shadow disappeared like a gust of wind, leaving him far behind...

Xu Zongwen looked towards the path under the west wing and the Crescent Lake corridor, not knowing where to go.

It's not that he had any other agenda. Just half a quarter of an hour ago, when he passed by Crescent Lake and was about to follow the pockmarked face and the tall and thin man, he suddenly remembered the conversation between the two people on the eaves, talking about the warehouse, and his heart Feeling suspicious, he turned around and headed west.

He had been holding it in his crotch for a long time, and the urge to pee came over him. It was really uncomfortable! But what was even more uncomfortable was that who knew that he could not find a toilet even after turning several turns on the bluestone path under the corridor of Crescent Lake!

"A living person cannot be choked to death by urine!"

Xu Zongwen had made up his mind to find a deserted place and deal with it casually. The guards of the Governor's Mansion were searching with great fanfare. It would be a bad idea to delay it any longer!

He spotted a small door in front of him, looked around and saw no one, so he was ready to push it in without hesitation, but after trying several times, he couldn't push it open. He thought: "What the hell is this place locked so tightly?" I want to go in and have a look!"

The courtyard wall next to the small door was quite high, more than three feet by visual inspection, slightly higher than the courtyard wall that separated the east and west wings from the Crescent Lake. He held his breath and concentrated.

"Swish, swish, swish." Soon Xu Zongwen kicked his upper body against the courtyard wall, then climbed up with both hands, and in a dozen breaths, he turned over and landed in the courtyard.

"What on earth is this place? It's so elegant?" Xu Zongwen leaned against the courtyard wall to relieve himself and walked around the courtyard. He couldn't see clearly the layout of the courtyard and was surrounded by a bunch of flowers and plants. After a while, he couldn't help but I climbed up the wall to find out.

There was an elegant room and several side rooms in the middle of the courtyard. When he looked carefully, he found that there were two people standing straight in front of the elegant room, guarding the door!

Xu Zongwen couldn't help but feel that the courtyard was a bit strange, but there was no moonlight, so he couldn't see clearly what the two people were wearing, and it was difficult to identify their identities.

He stopped being curious, lowered his body, and was about to climb over the courtyard wall to go back. When he raised his eyes and took a closer look, two tall figures appeared on the wall in front of him. They were staring directly at him!

Xu Zongwen then moved back with his hands and feet, and after a short distance, there was a "bang" on his back. His feet fell, and he was already unstable.

Xu Zongwen said in his heart: "No! It's a trap!" Sure enough, after saying this, his body lost its center of gravity and fell downwards...

"Langjun?" Zhang San kept running forward, suddenly remembered that there was someone behind him, and immediately turned back to look for Xu Zongwen. When he heard the voice, he immediately rushed to the direction of the small courtyard, but Xu Zongwen had already climbed over the wall to the next courtyard. As he leaned forward, he happened to see Xu Zongwen suddenly disappear from the ground. Only Xu Zongwen's shout was heard, and he rushed over to find out.

"oops--"

Zhang San was so anxious that he didn't look carefully. He missed his footing near where Xu Zongwen fell and fell down.

"It seems like there was movement just now, and then it suddenly disappeared."

Near where Xu Zongwen and Zhang San fell, they suddenly appeared. They saw that their feet did not touch the ground, but stood lightly on the top branches of the trees in the small courtyard!

Both of them were tall and had extraordinary hearing and eyesight. Xu Zongwen climbed over the wall and was admitted to the hospital before making noises. They heard a slight rustling sound and then followed them, but they did not expect that there was still no one around after searching for a while...

Xu Zongwen turned over and sat up. He suddenly felt that half of his body was in terrible pain! Shaking his head, he squinted his eyes and pushed himself up - ah, so hard! What's down here?

"Huh--" Zhang San took out the fire folding bag from his body, unscrewed it and blew lightly, and then the light of a fire suddenly lit up in the darkness.

What appeared in front of Xu Zongwen's eyes was a cellar that was sealed on all sides. He didn't expect that there was such a cellar underground in the small courtyard of the Governor's Mansion?

"Lang Jun, what should we do now?

"You ask me? I don't know, what the hell is this place?"

Zhang San followed suit, holding the fire folding piece, and walked slowly towards a corner. He walked to the open corner and started to fiddle around. Then he reached out and groped around on the dark wall, but there was no progress. He did not find the exit.

"Is there an exit?"

Zhang San raised his head again and looked at the cellar entrance above his head, which was at least a dozen feet away. Below the entrance fell a pile of everlasting flower petals and fallen leaves of the silver qiong tree, as well as a wooden board that had been broken for a long time.

It must be that the wooden board was too rotten to bear the weight of Xu Zongwen and Zhang San, so Xu Zongwen accidentally fell in.

Having said that, if it weren't for the soil under the cellar, he might have broken half of his body!

Xu Zongwen turned his back to the darkness of the cellar, and his back was getting more and more painful. He stretched out his hand and rubbed it gently. When he was about to take his hand back, he accidentally touched a wall. He felt it was loose and couldn't help but press it down. When he turned around, At that moment, a small rectangular door appeared deep in the secret room. A thick iron door slid sideways silently as it was pressed, and a dark room appeared in front of him.

"This is not a cellar, but a secret room!"

"Mr. Lang, it's dangerous!"

"Whatever you are afraid of, come down and go in and find out."

Xu Zongwen carefully bent down and got into the iron door, then reached out and pressed on the side of the small door. A soft light immediately flashed inside the dark small door.

Zhang San looked at the secret room, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he also bent down and got into the secret room.
