This sudden greeting startled Li Jiangyao.
He was not worried about his own safety, but he felt a little frustrated and depressed after being so busy for so long and being discovered so easily.
The patrol team in front also stopped immediately, turned their heads from a distance, and looked towards the place where the sound came from. Li Jiangyao was caught between these two groups of people, one behind the other, looking both abrupt and helpless.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a man came from behind and waved to the team in the distance: "You patrol your night, I will only use him."
The gang members who patrolled the courtyard agreed, turned around and continued walking forward. The person who spoke patted Li Jiangyao on the shoulder and ordered: "Miss Qiao San has something to see the eldest son. Please lead the way to the main castle."
"Uncle Laofu." A clear and loud female voice sounded from the other side.
"Third girl, don't blame me for being rude," the man known as Uncle Fu said with a smile, "I happen to have something to do, otherwise I would take you there myself."
Miss Qiao San responded: "Then why are you embarrassed? You are the chief steward of Perak Hall, and you need to take care of everything. I have troubled you enough by disturbing you all night."
Uncle Fu said: "Miss Qiao San also knows that the building we build here is like a maze, and there are many anti-theft mechanisms. When guests come, they can't always see the way. I'm really sorry. Let this little brother take you there. , The eldest son should not have rested yet."
After that, he stepped in and saluted the other party and left.
Uncle Fu is gone, but Li Jiangyao is embarrassed.
Let him lead the way? If he knew the way, would he still need to go through such trouble?
Li Jiangyao raised his head and glanced at Miss Qiao San, who happened to be looking at him as well, with a pair of beautiful eyes shining brightly under the light of the torch.
I just heard the maid next to me say: "Hey, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and lead the way."
Li Jiangyao smiled awkwardly, nodded and said hello, and then walked into the Thunderbolt Hall.
Just after passing through a moon gate, Miss Qiao San behind her couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Li Jiangyao suddenly secretly screamed that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Miss Qiao San stopped him by calling out: "Hey, you...where are you going?"
"Go to...the main castle."
"Main Castle?" Ms. Qiao San asked doubtfully, "I remember that you should go to the left to go to the Main Castle. Isn't there a Soul-Destroying Crossbow on the right?"
Li Jiangyao smiled awkwardly: "Oh, yes, I was in a daze just now and almost made a mistake. Please forgive me, girl."
Miss Qiao San didn't say anything, she just motioned for Li Jiangyao to continue. Unexpectedly, after walking a few dozen steps forward, she called out to Li Jiangyao again: "Aren't you going to go on the bridge? Keep going forward, it will be a trap. If you fall in, you will die."
"Uh... Oops, I got distracted. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
At this time, even the little maid next to Miss Qiao San saw that something was wrong, and couldn't help but hum: "I wonder if you have any skills? Do you not know the way?"
Li Jiangyao really wanted to slap the two women in front of him unconscious with one palm, but before he could do it, he heard Miss Qiao San laughing and saying: "I guess he is also a newcomer to Perak Hall, so he is not familiar with the road yet." . Fortunately, I come here often and have already memorized the path here. It doesn’t matter if I take it with me or not.”
With that said, she asked Li Jiangyao: "You don't have to lead the way, but there is something I need to ask you about. Do you know where the hall master and the second young master are being held?"
Following these words, the little maid suddenly pulled out a dagger and put it directly on Li Jiangyao's neck: "Speak honestly, or I will kill you!"
Li Jiangyao never expected that the two young girls in front of him would fall out with each other as soon as they said they had a falling out, and they were as fierce as little tigers, and he almost laughed out of anger.
With his skill, there were at least nine ways to bring down these two people. However, he heard something unusual in Miss Qiao San's words, so he decided to continue to act stupid first in order to learn more about the situation.
He pretended to be scared and said tremblingly: "I, I know, but I can't describe the specific location. Girl, why are you asking about this? Could it be... could it be..."
Miss Qiao San interrupted: "I am only allowed to ask you, but you are not allowed to ask me. Do you understand?"
"Do you understand?" The little maid thrust the dagger forward and repeated fiercely.
Li Jiangyao closed his eyes and nodded silently.
Miss Qiao San continued to ask: "Is he okay during the thunderstorm?"
thunderstorm? Li Jiangyao immediately realized that the eldest son was called Lei Yun, so Lei Yu was probably the second son.
He said nonchalantly: "No, not very good."
"Stop hesitating, what's wrong?" The little maid asked, "Did something happen to the second young master?"
Li Jiangyao said vaguely: "What's the point? He's in jail, so he won't be much better. It's a pity that I want to save the hall master and the second young master, but I am unable to do so."
"What? You want to save them too?" Miss Qiao San was very curious.
Li Jiangyao nodded: "I was recruited into Perak Hall by the Second Young Master. Of course I must repay my kindness."
Miss Qiao San asked doubtfully: "What's your name? Which movie is it from? Who is the owner of the incense?"
Faced with these questioning, Li Jiangyao couldn't help but complain secretly. The name is easy to make up, but what part it is and who the owner of the incense is, but I can't just make up nonsense. As soon as he opens his mouth, his secret will be revealed.
Just when Li Jiangyao was considering whether to use offense as defense and simply counterattacked the two little girls, another group of patrolmen happened to come from a distance. Fortunately, the three of them were located close to the wall and were not seen by the other party for a while. However, as long as you make any noise, it is bound to be noticed by the other party.
Miss Qiao San was even more nervous than him, and she quickly lowered her voice and said: "Since you are from Leiyu, then cooperate with us!"
After saying that, she signaled the little maid to put away the dagger, and walked over to meet the patrol.
"Who?" the leader of the patrol asked first. After the light of the fire lantern illuminated Miss Qiao San clearly, he immediately showed a flattering smile: "Oh, it turns out to be Miss Qiao. What are you..."
Miss Qiao San responded calmly: "I'm here to see the eldest son."
The leader nodded and glanced at the maid and Li Jiangyao behind her. When he saw that Li Jiangyao was wearing the robe of a member of the Perak Hall gang, he couldn't help but look puzzled.
Miss Qiao San misunderstood the other party's meaning and thought that the leader was wondering why the Second Young Master's people were with her, so she quickly explained: "Uncle Fu asked him to accompany me to the main castle."
Although Li Jiangyao looked very unfamiliar and the clothes on his body did not fit well, since Ms. Qiao San said that this was the arrangement of the housekeeper Lei Fu, the leader of the night watch did not dare to ask any more questions. After nodding, he followed The other party said goodbye and continued to greet his men to patrol forward.
When those people were far away, Li Jiangyao said first: "Girl, let's not waste time. We don't know what trouble we will encounter later. Let's leave quickly."
Seeing that Li Jiangyao did not reveal himself to the patrol, Miss Qiao San had already believed most of his identity, so she nodded slightly and said: "Well, with one more helper, I will be more sure of saving people, let's go!"
She led the way, leading Li Jiangyao and the little maid through many twists and turns, passing through tree walls and courtyards one after another. As the housekeeper Lei Fu said, this Perak Hall is like a maze-like Bagua House, and outsiders can't even tell the direction when they come.
Taking advantage of this moment, Li Jiangyao deliberately said in a cliché: "Girl, I haven't been here long, and I don't know what happened. Tell me, why are my old hall master and second son under house arrest?"
"Why else?" the little maid Caiju hummed next to her: "That guy Lei Yun defected to the King of Jin and planned to go against the Zhenjiang Army. The second young master has always admired Li Jiangyao, the Grand Protector, and hoped to join the Zhenjiang Army. Their brother The two argued endlessly, and finally Lei Yun became so angry that he colluded with several incense masters to rebel, and arrested both the old hall master and the second young master."
Li Jiangyao was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "After the rebel navy was defeated, the imperial troops and horses had already crossed the river one after another. Li Zhanglao Jianhua was about to be doomed. Why did Lei Yun still go to the rebels at this time? What? Is there something wrong with your head?"
Caiju glanced at the young lady walking in front and lowered her voice: "You don't know this? Our master is the governor of Suzhou appointed by the King of Jin. Lei Yun decided to join in order to compete with the second young master for our young lady."
Li Jiangyao was stunned when he heard this. Unexpectedly, the girl Qiao San in front of her was actually the daughter of the rebel Suzhou governor Qiao Dengliang.
He asked doubtfully: "Since... since you have this relationship with Master Qiao, do you still want to save the second young master?"
Miss Qiao San suddenly stopped and said firmly: "My father is my father, and I am me. Just because he is willing to join the rebels does not mean that the Qiao family is weak. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and the first thing I learned is loyalty. Martial ethics. Qiao Xi disdains to be associated with rebellion!"
Caiju also said: "So what our young lady really likes is the second young master Lei Yun. The young lady and the second young master had already discussed that they were going to join the Zhenjiang Army, and I wanted to go with them. It's a pity that Lei Yun got there first and trapped him Got him."
Li Jiangyao was very interested and couldn't help but ask: "Are you going to join the army too? What can you do in the army?"
Caiju pouted her lips: "You actually look down on me? Let me tell you, my kung fu is passed down by the young lady. I can beat you like this, two or three are no problem. There are many heroines in the Zhenjiang Army, don't you want us to participate? ?”
Li Jiangyao smiled and was about to speak when Qiao Xi, who was walking in front, suddenly said: "Keep your voice down, we are here!"
Hearing this, Li Jiangyao quickly turned his head to look, and sure enough, a brightly lit three-story stone castle suddenly appeared in front of him.
Under the stone castle, there were about a dozen Perak Hall gang members holding swords and guns, looking heavily guarded.
Qiao Xi asked in a low voice: "Where is Lei Yu imprisoned? In his own room on the second floor? Or in the dungeon inside the stone castle?"
This question stopped him. It is not good to talk nonsense and delay the important task of saving people in the end. So Li Jiangyao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Girl, it doesn't matter where the old master and the second son are being held. What matters is where the eldest son is?"
Qiao Xi was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"
Li Jiangyao replied: "You can't escape from the Thunderbolt Hall simply by rescuing people. Only by capturing the thief first and capturing the king and catching Lei Yun in his hands can we have a chance to force him to release the old hall master and the second young master."
