It was getting late, and the chirping of insects in the mountains was not yet complete. The two of them climbed over the top of the mountain, and then came down the mountain without any danger. They happened to be at the city wall of Fenghuang Mountain City.
A city similar to Phoenix Mountain City, which is not a military fortress, is not an economic hub town. The city wall is only two feet high. Thanks to the small size of the two dogs, Ye San easily picked up a few of them and jumped onto the city wall.
I was originally worried that some guard soldiers would find out, and there would be a lot of talk, but when I climbed up the city wall, I found that the usually tight guard with one post every five steps and one post ten steps away was now empty. There was not a single guard anywhere in sight. Not found.
In the middle of the night, I looked up at the sky and calculated the time accurately. The city that was just peaceful now was eerily silent. There were a few scattered lights that flickered on and off, making it even more weird.
Sensing something fishy, Midnight had some doubts in his mind, but he couldn't figure out the reason. He made a clear distinction between north and south, and took the two dogs along the city wall to Xingluo Villa.
The villa was built at the foot of the mountain away from the city. It is located in a remote and quiet place. Unlike other places in the city, it is actually brightly lit from a distance.
Ye San, who already had some concerns in his mind, became even more careful and disappeared. He carefully led Ergou, who was bragging about going over to find out, to touch him. He could hear people shouting in the village even a dozen feet away. He didn't even have to go there. You can hear the noise right in front of you.
Not only did Ye San Geng frown slightly, he couldn't say how well he knew Qi Mo Yan, but more or less Ye San Geng also knew some of Qi Mo Yan's habits.
Just like the name Qi Moyan, the most important thing to pay attention to when playing chess is to watch the chess without saying anything. There should be no sound around. What is important is to be calm.
Over time, Qi Moyan instinctively developed a dependence on this quiet environment. Not only when playing chess, but also in daily life, the servants in the mansion were prohibited from making any excessive noise.
Mo Yan Mo Yan, don't just don't talk. Looking at the current noisy situation, you can hear the noise from far away. How can you not be suspicious in the middle of the night?
They carefully arranged for the two dogs to find a secret place to hide outside the villa. At midnight, they took a long detour and sneaked into the villa quietly without entering the main entrance.
Sneaking all the way, I found that the originally heavily guarded villa did not find a single guard at this time, and even the few hidden sentries that I had discovered in the first few days were gone.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, so I am secretly cautious at midnight, not daring to slack off at all. In the middle of the night, Ye San was tiptoeing around on the eaves of the house. The backyard was completely silent, and there wasn't even a place to light a lamp, which made Ye San feel even more uncomfortable.
A loud voice came from the front, shouting and drinking, and at midnight, he had his own plans. He abandoned the suspicious backyard and followed the voice to the central hall of the village.
Naturally, he didn't dare to take it lightly. He still hid on the roof and carefully watched who was making trouble in this supposedly deep and quiet manor.
At this time, there was a large round table in the hall compared to a few days ago. It was crowded with people, sitting or standing.
On the third night of the night, I listened carefully. The words of this group of people were vulgar, and they had the demeanor of bandits who robbed homes and cut off roads and plundered. Looking at their careless behavior, they looked even more like them.
Looking further inside, there is a man and a woman sitting on both sides of the Eight Immortals table under the north wall. Needless to say about the men, it was Qi Moyan. The woman was wearing a beige robe with a veil on her face. She was also turned sideways so that no one could see her appearance.
Sitting on the guest seat next to the masked woman was Bilanpo, wrapped in a black robe. Her eyes were as sharp as knives, staring at Qi Mo Yan, the Lord of Phoenix City.
In the middle of the night, his eyebrows were furrowed, why were the two of them still sitting together? Where did this come from? There was so much noise in the hall that one could not hear the conversation there in the middle of the night. One man and two women could only see their lips moving, and Qi Moyan had a rather impatient expression. He turned his head to one side, obviously not wanting to interact with them too much. comminicate.
Even in the middle of the night, I didn't dare to move too far forward, for fear of shocking the people below and exposing my feet. It’s still unknown how good or bad other people are. Just a Bilan Po, and she has to face it with all her energy in the middle of the night.
Relying on his familiarity with Xingluo Villa, he ducked into the backyard in the middle of the night. Afraid of alerting others, he groped for a while in the middle of the night, walking up and down on the roof. Using the skills he had learned from his dog uncle who was very good at tracking people, he found the one who was locked in the kitchen. Servant, maid, old lady.
In the middle of the night, he checked again and again that there was no one around. He couldn't help but secretly sigh that these people of unknown origin were too naive. Then he carefully pried open the window and ducked into the kitchen.
Seeing an outsider coming in, all the maids huddled together in panic, and the servants were also silent and shivering. Fortunately, the housekeeper Qi Yuan saw clearly who the person was, and felt a little calmer, so he calmed everyone down in a low voice.
In the middle of the night, he reassured the dozen or so people and asked in a low voice the butler who was said to be Qi Mo Yan's distant relative, "What's going on?" I have been much depressed in the past few days, and I am still in shock. Now I am extremely frightened even when I see the midnight watch. My voice is hoarse and I say: "We don't know what the situation is now. Last night, a woman came from outside and wanted to see the city lord. We have important matters to discuss. Originally, I asked her to wait in the concierge while the city lord was taking a nap, but this woman said it was about you and the second lady. I didn't dare to delay, so I sent someone to send a message to the city lord. I didn't expect to meet this person. The woman used force to control the city lord, and let in a large group of people, who beat us up like bandits, and then locked us up here until now." Ye Sangeng heard this and wondered, why is this nonsense? Fucked two of his siblings?
"Why are you arresting Qi Mo Yan?" The housekeeper also looked confused and shook his head: "I don't know." He paused and recalled: "But this morning I went to deliver food with the cook in the village, and I heard that woman at the door. I mentioned the names of the third young master and the second young lady, but the woman was very cautious and didn’t say anything when we entered."
"Do you know that woman's name?" The housekeeper fell into deep thought again and said: "The greeting card was written at that time, but I just took a cursory glance at it, and I only remembered that the surname was very rare, so what was it called?"
"General Zhiyu." The one who interrupted was actually the young maid Luhua. At this time, she was timidly staring with her big eyes, nestling in the corner and being submissive.
"Who?" Ye Sangen stared in amazement, with a stupefied expression, staring at the girl who could hardly finish her words.
"General... General Zhiyu." Lu Hua was also startled by Ye Zangeng's movements, and became a little stuttering, stammering,
"I...I went in to send a greeting card to the city lord." Probably because he was too scared, there were some choking sounds in the darkness,
"I'm just... I'm just curious, what is the name of such a beautiful woman? I... I just took a peek." Ye Sangen burst out laughing, not because he blamed Lu Hua for not knowing the rules, but because this person who doesn't belong to Da Zhou name.
Fuying etiquette stipulates that a woman must bear her husband's surname after getting married. General Zhiyu is the mother of General Zhengzheng, his cousin who just graduated from the third class, and married Ningzhiyu from General Fuying's family.
The housekeeper Qi Yuan in front of him naturally didn't know what he was thinking at this time, nor did he understand the reason for his expression. He just glared at the panicked Lu Hua and blamed her for talking too much.
Luhua showed even more fear and shrank back cowardly. He happened to be caught in the middle of the night. Looking at Qi Yuan, he knocked on the mountain and said to the tiger: "You have been following Qi Mo Yan for so long. You are not as considerate as the girl below. Don't you know the name?" With his hands tied, The housekeeper almost knelt down, his voice filled with tears,
"Third Young Master, I didn't even know this would happen. How could I have imagined that this woman has such abilities..."
"Okay, okay." Ye Sangen was very impatient with people like this who acted according to the prevailing circumstances.
"Now is not the time to pursue this kind of matter. We must first find out what she means by seizing your city lord." After a glimpse, he can know the whole picture. Naturally, being a housekeeper is not only because of the family relationship, but also his ability to observe people's behavior all year round. Hearing these words, he also guessed something in his heart. The housekeeper carefully tried to guess and asked, "Does the third young master know who this person is?" Ye Sangeng laughed out loud. This is not just acquaintance, it is simply a half-brother. Sister.
But why did she tie up all these people? Also coerced Qi Moyan? His mind was spinning, thinking about his niece's attitude towards him in that small town at that time, and he couldn't figure out what was going on in the middle of the night.
He also understood the housekeeper's little thoughts, so he didn't reply to him at midnight, and asked again: "Do the prefect of the city and Captain Zhechong who is responsible for the defense know what is going on here?" The housekeeper looked embarrassed and said, "I really don't understand this. Got it." It was understandable that the incident happened suddenly. In the middle of the night, his heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "Where are the two great monks?" Qi Yuan was also stunned,
"The two masters of Yishan and Yishui are gone. I heard that the city lord is looking for you. Don't you know?" In the middle of the night, where did he go to find out what medicine Qi Moyan and the two monks were selling in the gourd? He still has a vague idea of what plans he and his eldest sister have made.
Without saying a word or lingering, he calmed the crowd and let them feel at ease for a while, and would come to rescue them later. Then he quietly left the kitchen, jumped up, and quietly left the villa.
Little did he know that at midnight, as soon as he left, a thin man appeared from the side of the kitchen and followed him away.
In the hall, under the white veil, the corners of Ningzhiyu's mouth were slightly raised.
