This Yi family is more than just a capable person, he is no worse than his eldest brother.
Thinking of this, Yi Lanwen lost his former admiration and respect for Patriarch Yi.
Late at night, a street on the east side of Hejian Fucheng was blazing with flames, and the sound of gongs and drums seemed particularly noisy in this dark and quiet night.
"Old man! Listen, where is this sound coming from?"
An old lady selling cooking cakes on the street was planning to get up at this time to make cooking cakes. But as soon as she got out of bed, she heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from outside.
The old man was pushed awake and rolled out of bed. He opened the window and looked to the east.
But the scene over there shocked him. The fire was soaring into the sky, faintly illuminating the eastern sky.
"Ah! Isn't that direction the Yi Mansion? Could it be that the Yi Mansion is in trouble again?" The old lady also came up, and when she saw it clearly, she was extremely surprised.
Yes, that direction is exactly Yi Mansion, which occupies a small street.
The Yi Mansion had just escaped from the flood not long ago. Who would have thought that it would be flooded again today? This is surprising.
"I guess this matter is not simple. It's not peaceful recently. Let's not meddle in other people's business."
The old man closed the window. Nothing was more important than making pancakes.
Scenes like this happened in the streets and alleys of Fucheng, especially from people who were close to each other, and the sounds of fighting coming from Yi Mansion could still be heard.
"Here we go again. I don't know who this Yi Mansion has offended. These people are really persistent!"
Passerby A stood in front of his window, looking at the fire over there, listening to the clang of swords clashing, and couldn't help but sigh.
"You don't care who he offended, anyway, those wealthy families are not resting all day long. Close the windows quickly and don't let those people see us, otherwise they might silence us."
A female voice came from inside the house, and the windows were immediately closed. On a nearby street, no one was helping to put out the fire, and no one even came out to take a look.
"Sir! The two secret guards have been dealt with." Ming Mo entered the house and reported to Gu Chengyu.
The two secret guards were sent by Lu Chen to protect them. This is a nicer way of saying it, but they were actually here to monitor them.
The solution Ming Mo pointed out was not to kill the person, but to knock the person unconscious.
"Let's go and have a look. I don't know if Mr. Lu can handle it."
Gu Chengyu planned to take Ming Mo and others to join in the fun and see what Lu Chen planned.
After all, Lu Chen came with him. If Lu Chen was defeated, he would have to help.
There was still another half of the treasure map that he had not yet obtained, and he still needed Lu Chen to stand in front of him.
The three of them took off their robes and put them on inside out. This was clearly a night robe.
At this time, Lu Chen really felt that it was a bit difficult. He directed his subordinates to rush forward while fighting.
The guards in the Yi Mansion were indeed very strong, and he originally planned to sneak in during the shift change.
It's a pity that he made a wrong calculation. He is not the only one who is staring at Yi Mansion tonight.
I don't know which group of people broke in and started killing people and setting fires as soon as they came up, disrupting Lu Chen's plan.
Lu Chen suddenly felt something in his heart. This team was highly skilled in martial arts and had a large number of people.
The secret guards of the Yi Mansion had to resist the troops coming from Lu Chen's side, as well as another group of people outside, and it was very difficult to resist.
Naturally, those of them pretending to be guards were on top, and Lu Chen was also extremely anxious.
He was afraid that the treasure map would fall into the hands of others, so he could only get up and get entangled with these people.
Lu Chen struggled to deal with the secret guards around him, hid in a corner, put on a black veil, and ran towards the inner study.
He had to fight quickly, and as soon as he got the treasure map, he would lead his men to retreat.
But he wasn't sure whether the treasure map was in the study or the warehouse, so he might have to visit the warehouse.
When Gu Chengyu and the others arrived, they happened to see a guard running toward the inner study with his face covered.
Gu Chengyu guessed that it was Lu Chen. Lu Chen would not trust his subordinates to snatch the treasure map, he would definitely do it himself.
Watching this messy scene quietly, Gu Chengyu discovered that there were actually three parties here.
That’s not right! Who is the other group of people?
Gu Chengyu was thoughtful. It seemed that Lu Chen's plan tonight had come to nothing. However, even without the intervention of this group of people, Lu Chen had no hope of getting the treasure map.
Looking under the tree again, he suddenly saw Yi Lanshan and the others watching from the side.
There were three secret guards guarding Yi Lanshan, and he was jumping anxiously at this moment.
"Quick! Someone has broken into the inner study, go and stop him!"
Gu Chengyu was speechless, the acting skills of Patriarch Yi were so good!
It was obvious that the treasure map was not in the study, but he acted the anxious and helpless look in a very convincing way.
If Gu Chengyu hadn't glanced at the treasure map in the space before coming, he would have felt that Chief Yi had put the treasure map back into the inner study.
Lu Chen entered the inner study, and there was no need to worry about being discovered. He lit the candlestick and began to rummage in the study.
When another group of people saw someone entering the inner study, they were also very anxious. When the leader saw this, he flashed his sword and the arm of the man in black blocking the front was cut off with a sword.
He hurriedly entered the inner study and saw that the study was in a mess.
The books on the bookshelf were pushed away and fell to the floor, and the desks were completely cleared. There was almost nowhere to put a foot on the floor.
At this moment, Lu Chen was pulling a square seal hidden on the bookshelf when he heard a roar and a stone room opened behind the bookcase.
When the leader saw this, his eyes lit up.
He ignored Lu Chen and ran directly past him towards the stone room.
Of course, Lu Chen couldn't be willing to make wedding clothes for others, so he raised his sword and struck that person.
The man seemed to know that Lu Chen was attacking from behind, so he turned around and took the sword, and the two were soon fighting together.
When Yi Lanshan saw so much movement in the study, he was so distressed that he almost fainted. In order not to expose any flaws, he left the decorations in the study untouched.
Swords don't have eyesight, these people must have beaten his study to pieces.
There is also his stone room. He has only moved away some of the good things in it, but there is still a lot left in it!
The master said that money and wealth are all external things, and when this matter is done, he will never treat the Yi family badly.
If there weren't any valuable things in the stone room, how could those people believe in me?
Maybe he could see through that he was prepared and guess that these were the Dragon Gate Formation.
Although he doesn't want to be petty, what is the current situation of their Yi family?
Moreover, these are all Changfang's property, and these losses are all his own.
Although he also thought that those people's purpose was to hide the treasure map, he would not touch these things because it was too late.
But he didn't expect these people to be so destructive!
When he comes to see it tomorrow, the study will definitely be completely unrecognizable, and maybe all the treasures will be turned into rubbish.
