After Wang Junlin finished speaking, he glanced around again, and finally whispered to Shen Guang: "Go back and tell Zhan Peng, let him bring the others without rushing over, and take the three-day living utensils for me and the guards around me. Send it here first. In addition, you go to the Nighthawk envoys to ask for their help, and search for Zimo and Guoer with them."
Wang Junlin vaguely felt that the other party was hiding nearby and watching him, but he could not block the market and could only ask Shen Guang to search nearby.
"I remember my humble duty."
Shen Guang bowed and agreed, and was about to leave. Wang Junlin suddenly remembered something and said, "Secretly watching Sun Simiao."
Shen Guang was stunned when he heard this, his face showed anger, and he shouted: "When I get back from my humble position, I will lead someone to capture the old man and torture him to extract a confession. I am not afraid that he will not tell the truth."
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "No, I just suspect that the demon who kidnapped Zimo and Guo'er is related to Sun Simiao, but there is no evidence, so you must not be rude to Sun Simiao."
"I understand." It was about the safety of his sister. Shen Guang felt a little dissatisfied with Wang Junlin's approach, but in the end he chose to obey.
Wang Junlin saw Shen Guang's anxiety and said, "Don't worry, these demons are here for me. As long as I live, they will not hurt Guoer and Zimo."
After speaking, without waiting for Shen Guang's reply, Wang Junlin turned around and walked towards the depths of this huge manor. Niu Jinda nodded to Shen Guang and followed with a group of guards.
Among the crowd watching the excitement in the distance, there was an old couple supporting each other. As the crowd gradually dispersed, after they turned an alley and entered a small courtyard, the old woman with a stooped body stood upright. He straightened his body, rubbed his face a few times, and the mask was taken off as thin as human skin. Then he wiped his face with a wet cloth a few times, took off the hood, and it immediately became A beautiful woman in her thirties and another old man behaved the same way, only to become an old man with a ruddy face and eyes as cold as stars.
"Tao Zun, this Wang Junlin is really not simple. He cracked our Beast King Liquid easily. He originally planned to make the guards around him panic, but it seems that it is not possible now. However, speaking of it, the horse beside him The horse and the lynx were not frightened by the beast king liquid and climbed down, which is really surprising." The beautiful woman said to the old man with some regret.
"Kunlun Yin Lord died under the thunder punishment in a daze. Sun Simiao was actually attracted by him. He claimed that he was unwilling to leave within three months. He said that this boy explained clearly to him what thunder punishment was, and he also said that he would learn anatomy from Wang Junlin. The corpse. There is also that strange object called the abacus, which is simply a divine object. It can increase the efficiency of arithmetic by more than dozens of times. In addition, it is said that he poisoned tens of thousands of Turks with a barrel of venom. Now it seems This boy is definitely the same as us. He comes from the Immortal Yin Sect, and he is probably from the inner five sects. I didn’t want to be troublesome at first, but you insisted on showing off, but now Wang Junlin is eyeing him. They are all experts from outside. We He is from the outer five sects. Logically speaking, it is not a good thing to offend Wang Junlin, but since he has been born and serves as an official in the court, there is no need to worry about the revenge of the Immortal Yin Sect where he belongs. The reputation in the Hidden Sect has become great, and Huaxu City will be opened in three years, and maybe there will be one more place." The old man said faintly with a strange light in his eyes.

This royal manor is very large, with pavilions, pavilions, bridges and flowing water. You can tell at a glance that it was built by a famous master. The reason why it is deserted, or the reason why no royal family is willing to live here, according to Yang Lihua, is because
This was originally the villa of a prince from the previous Northern Zhou dynasty. When Yang Jian usurped the country, this prince first pretended to surrender to Yang Jian, and then planned to assassinate Yang Jian. However, in the end the plan was exposed, and Yang Jian wiped out his entire family.
More than 700 people died in this manor. Although the bodies and blood stains were cleaned afterwards, the founding heroes and the royal family were not willing to live here at that time, so it was left deserted.
He chose a defensive room in an attic next to a small lake in the middle courtyard and ordered several guards to clean it. Wang Junlin took the blood-maned horse and lynx Maomao and started wandering around the manor, while Niu Jinda and the guards
Several old eunuchs from the manor went to meet them. After that, they took a few guards to check everywhere to see if there were any unknown dangers hidden.
It took half an hour to walk around the yard. It was so vast that the blood-maned horse and Maomao were very excited, especially because there was a racecourse sent by Yang Guang next to it.
Maomao likes this place mainly because most of the manor has not been inhabited for a long time. There are actually many small animals living here, such as little rabbits, little foxes, and some wild dogs. These living creatures will all become Maomao.
Just now, Maomao killed a wild dog that dared to bark at him.
Even if no one lives in the royal manor, there are naturally people inside who are guarding it. It’s just that the guards are very old and the manor is so big that they don’t bother to look at most areas, so it becomes like a wild zoo today.
After learning that Wang Junlin, the new landlord, had arrived, three old eunuchs and eleven elderly palace guards came to say goodbye and prepared to pack up and leave. They had received notice from the palace a few days ago that as long as Wang Junlin arrived,
They evacuated as soon as they came, but when Wang Junlin saw that it was getting dark, he asked them to stay for one more night. Naturally, the old eunuchs and old guards were very grateful. They had lived here for at least four or five years, and their daily utensils and
I have a lot of personal assets, so I have to tidy them up and find a carriage or something.
In addition to the dinner that Zhan Peng sent over, there were also three plump roast rabbits and two large pots of dog meat hot pot. These were all the work of Maomao and the blood-maned horse. Wang Junlin graciously invited the three old eunuchs and
Eleven imperial guards came to dine together, making the latter burst into tears of gratitude to Wang Junlin.
Wine was naturally indispensable. After these people drank a little wine, under Wang Junlin's deliberate guidance, they revealed all the secrets about the manor, such as various dark rooms, underground passages, etc.
In the end, these fourteen eunuchs and imperial guards, aged between forty and sixty years old, begged Wang Junlin if he could talk to the palace and take them in as trash. Wang Junlin hesitated for a moment and said he would wait for the dispatch tomorrow.
When someone asked, the fourteen old guys were so happy that they knelt down and swore allegiance to him loudly.
The fourteen of them have been thrown into this manor over the years. They are all the worst in the palace. It is a kind of disguised distribution. In addition, they have been a little unfamiliar with the life in the palace for many years. Now they return to the palace.
, it sounds beautiful, but in fact, we have to start over again walking on thin ice, intrigues, and a slave life with no freedom. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is miserable.
After eating, Niu Jinda led a group of guards to set up security outside. Wang Junlin closed his eyes in the room to rest, thinking about the fight in the letter from the demon who kidnapped Yu Zimo and Guo'er.
What is "fighting" and what kind of fighting? He absolutely does not believe that there are really ghosts, gods, magic and the like in this world. Even though he came from time to time and now has inner strength and true energy through cultivation.

The sky has turned completely dark. The wind is blowing in the bamboo forest outside the house and the lotus flowers in the small lake. Coupled with the rustling of reeds in the distance, for some reason, it seems that all the crows in the capital have come here and squat in the small lake.
The big trees by the lake were screaming incessantly, making Niu Jinda and the guards feel like they were in danger, because during the meal, Wang Junlin specifically told them that something strange might happen tonight, and asked them to be very careful.
Be extremely vigilant, once the thief is found, he will be killed without mercy.
Niu Jinda was upset by the crows, so he sent someone to chase the crows away. However, after the four guards who chased the crows came back, two of the guards fell asleep, as if they had been cursed by the crows.
The others couldn't wake up no matter how they shook or screamed.
According to what the other two guards said, these two guards shot a crow to death with bows and arrows respectively. During this period, they did not see any attack on the two guards.
Such a strange thing made Niu Jinda and all the guards feel anxious, so they naturally wanted to report it to Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin carefully inspected the bodies of the two sleeping guards, and finally found a small, almost invisible blood-red dot on each of their ears. He said with a gloomy face: "They were hit by the legendary ox-hair needle. The needle should be poisonous."
.”
Niu Jinda and the guards were stunned when they heard this, but they breathed a sigh of relief. Niu Jinda even said: "It's not like I was tricked by some ghost."
After a pause, he continued: "However, the thief was able to let our brothers be hit with a hidden weapon silently without any notice. This method is terrifying."
Wang Junlin nodded, expressing his agreement with Niu Jinda's words, and then put his nose on the blood-red dot and smelled it. There was a faint pungent sweetness, which reminded him of a chemical. His pupils shrank and he breathed a secret sigh of relief.
, thinking to himself: "Is this an ether injection? No wonder I fell asleep and couldn't wake up. However, I will wake up tomorrow, don't worry."
Then Wang Junlin remembered something, but his expression changed and he lost his voice: "Isn't ether a chemical product? How could a thief have it? How could it be possible?"
"Could it be...could it be that they also came from time travel?" Looking at Niu Jinda and others who looked confused after hearing Wang Junlin's words, Wang Junlin exclaimed in his heart with a look of disbelief.
Waving his hand to let Niu Jinda and others go out, Wang Junlin was shaken and couldn't calm down for a while.
When he regained his composure, he raised his head and looked out the window. He found that it was pitch dark outside and he couldn't see his fingers. The guards who were patrolling around with lanterns just now were nowhere to be found. Even Niu Jinda, a master in the stagnation period, had disappeared.
