As soon as Gu Yuan and the others climbed in, they arrived at a side hall in the east courtyard of the main house.
But as soon as he settled down, he saw two guards standing guard next to the pillar at the door of the side hall.
There were actually people standing guard in the middle of the night, and Gu Yuan and the other four were really shocked.
The main house is not like those side houses. At this time, the lights in the house are all out. I don’t know if everyone inside is asleep, or there is no one at all. There is a brightly lit lamp hanging in every corridor corner of the main house.
big lantern.
Therefore, they climbed in. Although it was impossible for the two guards to see clearly, at least four people could be seen climbing in.
The two guards did not speak, and there was silence all around. Gu Yuan and the other four were ready to attack, but they found that the two guards seemed to have no reaction.
What's happening here?
The four people approached cautiously. When everyone stood in front of the two guards, the two guards did not respond. Everyone could even hear the breathing of the two guards clearly.
A closer look revealed that the two guards were actually leaning against the pillars in the corridor, holding weapons in their arms and standing there dozing off.
This scene made the four of them feel happy, and at the same time, a little absurd.
The patrol team outside was obviously so vigilant, and the secret guards were surrounding the courtyard in layers. How come after actually entering the main house, the guards were able to doze off holding their weapons?
Do you really think that no one can break through the layers of guard blockades and sneak into this location silently?
But seeing the situation in front of them, they were no longer polite.
The four people stepped forward and secretly approached the two dozing guards. After listening carefully that there was no sound of anyone in the side hall, they rushed over without politeness and broke the two men's necks with two clicks.
Then he pushed open the door to the side hall, shut the body in, and closed the door again.
After carefully observing that there were no other guards or secret guards in the courtyard of the side hall, he followed the side hall toward the dungeon in the west garden of the backyard.
Compared with the area of the entire other courtyard, this main house is not large, but both the materials used in the house and the flowers, plants and trees that can be seen everywhere are more exquisite than those outside.
Likewise, the number of guards has been greatly increased.
It can be said that every time you pass through a courtyard, there will be guards guarding the door.
There are no hidden guards in the main house. No one will stand on the treetops, no one will lie on the tiles, no one will hide behind the roof, and all the guards will stand in plain sight.
Post.
This caused far more trouble for the four people's actions than the total trouble they would have encountered if they sneaked in from the outside.
Because although the guards here are scattered and lax compared to the guards outside, there are simply too many of them.
Walking from the courtyard of the side hall to the Moon Gate across the courtyard, I found that there were actually two doormen outside the door.
Moreover, there are two guards at every door of the main courtyard, not only the moon gate in the west courtyard, but also the main and wing rooms. There are two guards at every door.
In this way, it is not difficult to attack and kill these two guards just like the two guards just now, but it is completely impossible to not alert the other ten guards at all.
These guards were very lazy, mainly because they didn't realize that someone could sneak in here silently.
This does not mean that they do not have any professional qualities. People who can become guards here are generally more elite than those outside.
Gu Yuan and the other two were not discouraged. They climbed up to the roof of the side hall and walked on the roof ridge to observe the layout of the entire main house. They found that the west garden in the backyard was very close to them.
However, the number of guards there was the smallest. The layout looked like a loose pocket on the outside and tight on the inside. Gu Yuan was a little confused, could this West Garden be a trap?
I'm afraid that once they pass by, the people who are really guarding them will appear.
Maybe Gu Yuan is overthinking, but he must be careful.
They stepped on the ridge of the main house of the other courtyard and walked all the way from the side hall to the side room of the main hall. Every time they moved, they listened carefully to see if there was any breath or sound of living people in the room.
Go all the way to the bungalow that spans the courtyard in front of the back garden.
Gu Yuan clearly heard that there were many voices inside.
There were sounds of breathing, soft conversations, and even the sound of sharpening knives.
Gu Yuan listened for a while. What they talked to each other was useless nonsense, but if he listened carefully, he could tell that there were at least twenty people.
Is this a place for the guards to rest, or a place specially designed to ambush them?
Or are there only so many regular guards here?
Gu Yuan didn't know this clearly, but there were only four of them. Although they could kill all of them if they rushed in, they were afraid of making any noise and delaying the rescue.
After all, the most important thing now is to rescue people.
Gu Yuan gestured for Li Cheng, Little Eagle and Zuo Zhan to go to the West Garden first.
When everyone arrived at the West Garden, they happened to see a big stone being moved away from the rockery, and several people wearing black robes came out. Their black robes were all of the same style, with dark embroidery on them.
Tattooed skull.
Zuo Zhan lowered his voice and said, "These people should be disciples of Taiyin Sect. You see, they are all wearing Taiyin Sect's robes.
Even if it’s not a dungeon, there must be secrets in that cave.”
Gu Yuan nodded slightly, "These people are obviously different from those guards. Two of them are already in the late stage of foundation building. If Mo Ming is not found soon, we will capture them."
Through the large hole where the stones have been removed, you can see that the inside of the hole is a sunken design, with stone stairs winding downwards. There are evergreen lanterns hanging on the walls on both sides of the stone stairs, which cannot be seen from inside.
The man in black robes came out of the cave and pressed a raised stone on the rockery. The big stone moved over and covered the entrance of the cave. There were no flaws around the entrance. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that there had been a cave here.
Then, these people who came out of the hole went to the wing rooms around the west garden.
Everyone waited patiently for a while, but these people never came out.
The little eagle was a little impatient waiting, "In my opinion, let's not wait any longer. These people may go to bed. There are beds in those wing rooms."
Zuo Zhan whispered: "Do you think there is a dungeon down there?
Since they haven't come out, I want to go in and have a look."
Gu Yuan said: "In my opinion, there is most likely a dungeon down there. Let's disperse first and go to the side room to see if there is any ambush."
Li Cheng and others dispersed, and at the same time went to the roofs of the other three directions of the rockery dungeon, listening carefully to see if there were any such ambush guards inside.
