Ye Yinfeng and Li Xiaoyao were walking on the way back to the inn. Li Xiaoyao seemed to be thinking, and did not have any conversation with Ye Yinfeng along the way. He looked worried, his expression was solemn, and he was tightly locked.
His eyebrows indicate that he senses something serious is about to happen.
Ye Yinfeng, on the other hand, did not notice the change in the expression of the fat Taoist priest at all. At this moment, his heart was very peaceful, like a deep ancient well.
The two of them walked forward like this without anyone speaking.
After arriving at the inn, Ye Yinfeng noticed something strange about the fat Taoist priest. He quickly asked him: "What's going on? Such a serious expression, it seems like someone is about to die."
Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes at him and did not reply. He was still immersed in his own thoughts.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Ye Yinfeng did not continue to ask any more questions. He was just surprised that the fat Taoist priest usually talked a lot, but he didn't say a word after coming back from the village today. Since the other party didn't say anything, it was hard to continue.
Asking again, he threw the long sword on the wooden table and prepared to meditate on the bed for a while.
Before he could reach the bed, he was stopped by Li Xiaoyao.
"I'm going to visit Zhang's Mansion tonight to see what treasures are hidden in Zhang's Mansion. It actually attracted so many people to focus on the Zhang family. Even if the Zhang family really has the legendary 'Apocalypse'
Yu', then that old man Zhang shouldn't be brought into the coffin either."
Li Xiaoyao suggested to Ye Yinfeng that since they had nothing to do anyway, they might as well go to Zhang Mansion tonight to explore and see what was in the heavily guarded Zhang Mansion.
Ye Yinfeng didn't have any objection to this, but they were not familiar with the terrain in Zhang Mansion. What if they were accidentally caught and revealed themselves, this was what Ye Yinfeng was worried about.
But Li Xiaoyao kept saying that it was okay, that he didn't have to be afraid of anything with him, and couldn't help but despise Ye Yinfeng, saying that he was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and that he didn't even have the courage. He kept talking about how he remembered back then.
When he was alone, he went around to steal money from the homes of some dignitaries, etc., and there was nothing wrong with him.
Although Li Xiaoyao strongly promised that nothing would happen, Ye Yinfeng was still a little worried about him. He could not afford the crime of breaking into a private house that night. Not to mention the courtyards of ordinary wealthy people, if he was caught, there would be chaos.
If you are beaten with a stick, you will be slightly injured in the better case, seriously injured in the worse case, and even your life will be lost.
And the Zhang family in Raozhou City is not just the richest man in Raozhou City on the surface. The Zhang family seems to be hiding a bigger secret. It is possible that the master Ruyun in the Zhang family is lurking and waiting for someone to fall into his trap.
Li Xiaoyao kept saying that the flowers were coming, but Ye Yinfeng just refused to go, and in the end there was no way to go.
The fat Taoist priest only said one sentence, and Ye Yinfeng had no choice but to follow him obediently. However, he did not take his sword out. He felt that he was just touching the bottom of the Zhang family, not fighting.
That's why I came out without a sword.
Taking advantage of the thick darkness of the night, the two of them took advantage of the darkness and ran straight towards the Zhang family. They did not change into night clothes or anything like that. After all, it was such a dark night, even if they changed into night clothes or something like that, it would be the same thing.
Yes and no are exactly the same.
It is already the end of the month, and in a few days it will be the twelfth lunar month, and the temperature at this time is unusually cold.
In general, there are very few pedestrians on the streets of Raozhou City. The shops on each street have closed early and have taken refuge in their warm homes. There are a few sparsely lit lanterns on the streets, and there are also
The street seemed less dark and desolate. However, the street was still relatively deserted. No one would pay attention to the two teenagers walking hurriedly on the street.
Passing through a small street, in front of you is a wide avenue paved with bluestones, large enough for four carriages to travel side by side.
On the other side of the bluestone avenue is the Zhang family's mansion. Two bright red lanterns hang high on the main entrance of the Zhang family's mansion, like two big eyes of a giant beast in the dark, staring ahead.
.There is also the ten-foot-high gate and the ten-foot-high wall that blocks the world's sight, allowing people to see any scenery inside. Occasionally, there are a few branches that exceed the wall. In this dark night, the cold wind suddenly rises.
At that time, it made a whining sound.
There were no guards arranged in front of the main gate of the courtyard. Only the two tall stone lions guarded the home like guards who stood firm at their posts.
Ye Yinfeng and Li Xiaoyao stood at the end of the small street, constantly looking at Zhang Mansion. They had come to check out the environment outside the wall at noon, and inside the high wall was
What it's like, they don't know.
Except for the two large lanterns hung high in front of the main gate of the Zhang family's mansion, it was pitch black inside the wall and nothing could be seen.
The wall that is more than ten feet long is not difficult for the two of them. With their current martial arts skills, they can jump up to the top of the wall in one leap. They only jumped behind the top of the wall. What will happen behind the wall?
danger, so they had to think carefully about how to sneak into Zhang's mansion smoothly.
Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and made a suggestion. His suggestion was that the two of them should act separately. In this way, there would not be too many targets and a wider search could be carried out. This suggestion was immediately firmly rejected by Ye Yinfeng, and he
I have never had any experience in this area. Although this mansion is not a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, who knows what kind of dangers there are. The courtyard of this mansion is not as simple as it seems.
Looking from a distance, the huge Zhang Mansion looked like a ferocious monster in the dark night, waiting to devour everyone who entered. Thinking of this, Ye Yinfeng suddenly felt creepy, and the feeling of terror was even...
It surpassed the feeling I had in Yizhuang that night.
Li Xiaoyao did some ideological work for him again. Anyway, his words were worn out, but Ye Yinfeng refused to agree. At this time, the fat Taoist priest had no choice. He had already used the previous trick, and he would use this one again.
It seemed that he was at the end of his rope. He rolled his eyes and seemed to have thought of another way.
He didn't know where the fat Taoist priest came from so many colorful intestines. He approached Ye Yinfeng and said: "I think it's better for us to act separately. It's definitely not just the two of us who will come to this house tonight. Maybe then
Nangong Xianchen will also come, don’t you want to meet the goddess in your heart for a while?"
"You haven't told me who she is and why she came to Raozhou City. If you want to leave me, just tell me. Why go around in so many circles."
Ye Yinfeng said quietly. He felt that the fat Taoist priest came to this house to leave him behind. He didn't know what the purpose was, so he had to tell the fat Taoist priest directly.
Li Xiaoyao was very thick-skinned, and he didn't feel embarrassed. Now that the other party had pointed it out, he couldn't wander around anymore. So he explained to Ye Yinfeng some common sense of precautions in the mansions and courtyards of wealthy families.
, what kind of traps, etc. The main thing is to escape the traps and alarm bells in the dark, as well as the dogs with a very sensitive sense of smell, and the guards who patrol around.
Ye Yinfeng understood what he was saying and didn't talk nonsense. He just urged him to go about his business.
After Li Xiaoyao told him to be careful, he crossed the bluestone avenue and walked straight to the wall. With a leap of his body, he flew over the wall like a big roc, and disappeared in a flash.
Ye Yinfeng's eyes disappeared into the pitch-black night.
Ye Yinfeng was not in a hurry to jump up to the wall. He walked around the wall for a while, listening quietly to the sounds coming from inside the wall. Regarding the guards who were walking and patrolling within the wall.
He could clearly hear the footsteps coming from outside the wall, and there were also other slight breathing sounds. They should be wolf dogs or other animals raised in this house.
There was silence all around. In the dark night, only the sound of the cold wind could be heard, and even the chirping of birds was rare.
Ye Yinfeng always felt that there were always some unknown dangers waiting for him in this dark night, but at this time, the Zhang Mansion seemed unusually quiet. There was no noise inside, not even the voices of the people in the mansion.
No, this is too weird. There is not even a trace of conversation in Ruoda's Zhangjia residence. This makes Ye Yinfeng's heart tingle. He feels that the interior of this residence is much better than that of Raozhou City.
Yizhuang also wanted to make him feel weird.
He didn't want to go in at first, but when he was aroused by the fat Taoist priest, he couldn't help but cheer up secretly. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the fat Taoist priest. He wanted to act alone, but why did he have to drag him forward, and then again?
He would not sneak into Zhang's mansion by himself. He always felt that the fat Taoist priest must have an ulterior motive in doing so.
He walked around the corner of the wall and found that there was nothing unusual inside, so he decided to enter from here.
Ye Yinfeng lightly jumped onto the wall with his feet. As soon as he climbed onto the wall, he bent down and looked around.
There was deathly silence all around, and the buildings in front were like ferocious beasts hidden in the dark night. People could only see the lit lanterns hanging high, bright red, and the faint lights swayed to illuminate the huge sky.
mottled shadows of houses.
This mansion is really not that big. It's pitch black in front. Except for a few lit lanterns, I don't know how many houses are in that dark night, and I don't know how many dangers are lurking in that dead silence.
After practicing "Tai Qing Jue", Ye Yinfeng's eyesight was extremely good. Even in such a dark night, he could clearly see everything within a hundred feet in front of him.
The houses in this mansion are spread out in large pieces, but they are arranged in an orderly manner. The main rooms and guest rooms are distributed very regularly. There are some covered bridges connecting the houses, and some have rockery pools. It’s just that there should be more houses in a row.
It was the backyard of Zhang's mansion. It was pitch dark in the backyard and nothing could be seen.
But vaguely, Ye Yinfeng felt that a hazy tower-like building stood in the backyard. The tower was about six feet high. There were no lanterns hanging high, and it was just pitch black.
The tower should be the tallest building in this mansion, but why does this mansion have a tower? This makes Ye Yinfeng very puzzled. This sudden and obvious tower gave Ye Yinfeng an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.
He felt that the tower stood in this mansion like a magic sword, emitting a terrifying aura.
There happened to be a row of houses near the wall where he was standing. Under the wall were several small trees that were not too big and had already lost their leaves. He lay on the wall and took a closer look, and found that these small trees had lost their leaves.
There were no thin wires among the trees, so I confirmed that there was no alarm bell set there. If there were any thin wires or the like and accidentally touched those thin wires, the alarm tied to the thin wires would be triggered.
The alarm bell will ring loudly, and you will have to run away immediately.
Ye Yinfeng jumped down from the wall and stepped on the hard ground. There was a row of houses in front of him, but it was dead silent and there was no sound. There should be no one in this row of houses for the time being. Look at this
The structure and location of the house should be where the servants of the Zhang family lived.
He crouched and quickly rushed to the house. He felt that the house was not interesting, so he ran straight forward from the row of houses.
There was a nine-curved covered bridge ahead, and there were several pavilions at the end of the covered bridge. Ye Yinfeng ran over without hesitation.
At this time, a burst of neat and orderly footsteps came from another row of houses towards the covered bridge. It should be the patrolling guards of the mansion who were patrolling here.
From the sound of those steady and powerful footsteps, those who guard the hospital should be just ordinary warriors, and their cultivation has not reached the internal strength stage.
Ye Yinfeng jumped up on the top of a pavilion, and lay on the top of the pavilion, holding back all his breath.
Not long after, a team of five people came to the covered bridge holding torches, then walked straight to the row of houses, circled the houses, and then headed to other places.
Ye Yinfeng rolled over from the top of the pavilion and landed on the ground. Looking at the leaving figures of the five people, a bold plan suddenly appeared in his mind.
He closely followed the five patrolling officers, carefully sticking to their backs, silently and closely following them like a ghost.
He is not familiar with this environment. He only follows these patrol officers who are not very high in cultivation and can visit the entire residence of this family. However, he has to be careful of the secret sentries hiding in the dark and always follow them.
Even with five people, there is no long-term solution.
While following these five people, he secretly paid attention to the lurking whistle everywhere, and at the same time, he was looking for a better way.
