The alleys here are deep and winding. Because it is humid and rainy in the south, many places have attic rooms. Almost every household has a two or three-story building. This will block the sunlight in the alleys, making them appear dark and deep, making people feel a little...
Depressed.
Where did Yelufei go?
Shen Mingfu was very anxious, how could it disappear in a blink of an eye?
She looked back and saw the palace towering behind her, and solemn music could be heard from inside, indicating that the ceremony was about to be held.
"I'd better go back and talk to my sister." Shen Mingfu didn't find Yelu Fei, so Shen Mingfu thought it would be better not to go out and wander around by herself.
As a result, when she turned around, a black shadow also fell in front of her. She screamed, and then she felt a pain in her neck and lost all consciousness.
Two figures appeared silently in front of and behind her, one person held her on his shoulders, and the two immediately flew out of the alley. A few rabbits disappeared somewhere.
All this seems to have not attracted anyone's attention. After all, this is the northwest of Miyagi City. It is in a remote location. The few alleys leading out are some residential areas and commercial areas, which are more prosperous.
And now that it's time for a grand ceremony to be held in the palace, people will go to the square to join in the fun, making the alley even more deserted.
In addition, this is an alley outside the palace, because it is close to the imperial city, so even if no one is walking around, it is very quiet and safe on weekdays, and no one will do anything illegal here.
Therefore, no one would notice Shen Mingfu disappearing here, and the person who robbed her obviously knew this a long time ago and was so bold.
Solemn music sounded in the palace, and the music flew over the high wall and entered a building in the imperial city.
It was a noble and elegant mansion, and it looked like it should be a duke's palace from the outside. The principals of the palace had all gone into the palace to attend the ceremony. The front yard and the back house were all quiet, each in their own yard.
In one of the inconspicuous courtyards, the door was ajar, and a few servants seemed to be cleaning up the courtyard leisurely, but in fact they were paying attention to all the movements around them.
Soon two men who looked like servants came in carrying a sack. It was always a bit strange to do this in broad daylight.
The person inside the door answered them and asked, "Hasn't anyone seen it?"
The two said: "We always do things very neatly, so naturally we won't be seen."
The person who responded immediately said: "Come in, the master is impatient to wait."
The two nodded and immediately entered the main hall.
They entered the house, turned right, entered the second room on the right, and then turned back again.
It turns out that the house is very deep, and one room can be divided into two rooms, the north and the south. The second room on the right has a big kang in the south by the window, a partition in the north, a dark corridor in the past, and a quiet room separated by the partition in the north.
The two of them went in carrying sacks, and immediately someone who looked like a girl pulled a bookshelf to the side, and then revealed a door.
The girl turned on the mechanism, and the door slid open automatically. She didn't say anything, just nodded, and the two of them bent down and walked in.
This was a secret passage, pitch black, but as they entered, the lights gradually lit up inside.
The two of them walked in without saying a word, and walked zigzag in the secret passage for a while. Then they came to a carved wooden door.
