When Ye Yinfeng walked out of the underground secret palace, it was already dawn, and the whole Zhang family was busy. No one paid attention to the sudden appearance of a fifteen-year-old boy next to the eldest daughter of the Zhang family.
The eldest lady of the Zhang family looked coldly at the busy people of the Zhang family without making any move.
When the tenth carriage slowly drove out of the gate of the Zhang family, the number of people in the Zhang family suddenly decreased a lot, leaving only some old, weak, women and children.
Most of the warriors guarding the courtyard of Zhang Mansion followed the carriage that drove out, leaving only a few warriors walking around in the courtyard.
There was no crisis in the Zhang Mansion during the day, and those who were spying on the Zhang family's property or Zhang family's treasures did not want to come blatantly during the day.
Among the crowd outside the mansion, there were people who were secretly following a carriage. Why those people followed the carriage heading in different directions was unknown.
There are fewer and fewer people watching in the Zhang Mansion. Some people are still very patient. Of course, there are also some local people from Raozhou who really come to see the excitement.
Ye Yinfeng and Zhang Lingyan were in front of a house, from which they exited the underground maze. This house was Miss Zhang's boudoir, and the exit was in Zhang Lingyan's boudoir.
.
There is a dry pool in front of the door, and a nine-curved covered bridge crosses the top of the pool. This is a small side courtyard. The low wall is not as high as a person. At the end of the covered bridge is a small round arch. From the short
Several small fan-shaped windows in the wall can clearly see the busy people outside.
"Let's go," Zhang Lingyan said calmly,
She led Ye Yinfeng forward, passed the small round arch of the low fence, and then there was a quiet path next to the fence, leading directly to the backyard.
The path was lined with small trees that had already lost their leaves, and under the trees were all withered weeds.
Ahead was the main house of the Zhang family. People kept coming out of the main house and heading straight for the main door of the Zhang family.
They did not go towards the main house, but bypassed the low fence and went straight to the backyard.
There was also a closed gate in the backyard, and it was also isolated by a low wall.
Zhang Lingyan walked over and opened the door and walked in.
Ye Yinfeng followed closely behind, and after entering the gate, he discovered that there was another cave in the backyard.
In the backyard, there are green trees and shades, including evergreen trees that do not lose their leaves in winter, waterside pavilions and rockeries, promenades and winding bridges, and there are some unnamed flowers everywhere, which are blooming in full bloom, exuding bursts of fragrance from time to time.
gas.
The whole backyard seems to be bathed in the breath of spring, which shows that this house has put a lot of effort into this backyard.
Zhang Lingyan said nothing and kept leading Ye Yinfeng forward.
Only then did Ye Yinfeng know where the eldest lady of the Zhang family was. The six or seven-foot-tall tower was in front of them, and the road they were on was the only way to that tower.
There is a hazy mountain peak behind the tower, which is a hundred feet high. The peak is full of rugged rocks and cliffs, with a few green pine trees growing tenaciously on it.
Could it be that the mountain peak is the mountain peak on the cliff where I and Zhang Lingyan went up from the underground secret palace just now? According to this geographical location, it should be. Because there is only one hundred-foot-high mountain peak in this mansion, and only Ye Yin
Feng felt that the mountain peak seemed to be missing something, and it felt weird no matter how he looked at it.
"For a while, just watch and say less, do you understand?"
Zhang Lingyan suddenly stopped and ordered Ye Yinfeng.
Ye Yinfeng was stunned. Although he didn't understand what the other party meant, he nodded subconsciously.
The eldest daughter of the Zhang family saw him nodding, said nothing more, and walked forward again.
Less than five feet in front was the tower that was six to seven feet high. Ye Yinfeng kept raising his head and looking at the tower while following behind the eldest daughter of the Zhang family.
The tower is just made of very ordinary bluestone. It is divided into six floors, each floor is about one foot high. The tower on the upper floor has eight exquisite hooks.
There were several small copper bells hung at the corners of each floor of the tower. Ye Yinfeng took a closer look and found that each floor was covered with thin silk threads, densely surrounding the tower.
I really can't find the thin thread.
Could there be any important treasures in this tower, he couldn't help but think to himself.
In front of the tower door stood two rugged men, like two door gods, saying nothing and looking forward with cold eyes.
Zhang Lingyan walked straight in, but to Ye Yinfeng's surprise, the two big men stopped him.
"How presumptuous, he is my lady's attendant, why can't he go in?",
When Zhang Lingyan saw this, he couldn't help but frown, and shouted loudly at the two big men.
"I'm sorry, the head of the family has an order and you must not disobey it." One of the big men said to her with fists in his hands, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't seem to be very respectful to the eldest lady of the Zhang family.
When Zhang Lingyan saw this, she didn't force herself again. She turned around and said to Ye Yinfeng, who was standing in front of the door: "Please wait here for a while. Remember what I said and don't run around."
Although her words were relatively ordinary and she was just giving instructions to her entourage, her underlying meaning could only be understood by Ye Yinfeng. There was also some secret threat in her tone, suggesting that he remember their cooperation.
At the same time, she also warned Ye Yinfeng that even if he wanted to escape, he would not be able to escape from her grasp.
How could Ye Yinfeng not hear what the other party meant? He quickly bowed to the other party and said, "Young lady, I understand. Miss, please excuse me."
After Zhang Lingyan heard this, the coldness in her eyes softened. She walked directly into the tower without saying anything more.
After the eldest lady of the Zhang family left, the two big men guarding the tower looked at Ye Yinfeng who was standing more than ten steps in front with great interest.
They didn't understand how virtuous and capable the young man in front of them was, that the eldest lady wanted to bring him into the tower. Apart from this young man's face being relatively more handsome than theirs, they really couldn't tell that he had anything.
What's so special about it makes that young lady stand out in a new light.
Thinking about himself, this young lady has never looked at him directly. On the contrary, the young man in front of him has always been taken by the young lady. But this young man is relatively unfamiliar. Could it be that the young lady brought him back from outside.
After thinking about it, the eyes of these two big men began to show evil looks, and they kept staring at the young man closely.
Ye Yinfeng also felt the unkind gazes of these two big men, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He knew that these two big men must have misunderstood him, but there was no explanation he could do, so he could only remain silent and said nothing. His eyes also
Instead of looking at the two big men, he looked around.
It was not that he had not thought about escaping from Zhang's Mansion at this time, but Zhang Lingyan's tone seemed to be so sure that he was convinced, which made him secretly have no confidence in his heart. It was not that he had not thought about what Zhang Lingyan might do.
Various methods were used, but every method was rejected by him.
What could make her suppress him tightly? He thought of poison, but he had only been with her for one night. If the other party wanted to poison him, he would have noticed it already, and the "too pure Qi" in his body
"It can remove some ordinary poisons. He carefully thought about every detail of his relationship with the eldest lady of the Zhang family, but he still didn't have any clues.
Just when Ye Yinfeng lowered his head and fell into deep thought, the two big men standing in front of the tower looked at each other, with the light of a vulture shining in their eyes.
Although Ye Yinfeng doesn't want to cause trouble, some things won't happen just because he doesn't want to.
He had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Thinking of this strange trip to Zhang's house, the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.
Ye Yinfeng raised his head and looked at the gray sky,
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the rolling dark clouds shrouded the land, making the city of Raozhou particularly depressing.
The cold wind howled by, causing waves of coolness to flow out of his heart like a tide.
"Hey, boy, what's your relationship with the eldest lady?"
A rough and unreasonable voice came to his ears. Ye Yinfeng turned around and found that one of the men in front of the tower was staring at him with an evil look in his eyes. The other man had a look on his face.
With expressions of gloating on his misfortune, these two men obviously had bad intentions towards him.
"It doesn't matter. I'm just the eldest lady's entourage. What do you call the two eldest brothers?" Although Ye Yinfeng was unhappy, he still pretended to be respectful to the two people, with a shy smile on his face.
Say it to them.
When the two people saw the harmless look of the young man in front of them, they couldn't help but sneer in their hearts. It turned out that this young man was really a gun with a wax head, but it was useless. After being frightened like this, that boy was not
Do you have the utmost respect for our brothers?
The two burly men looked somewhat similar. They were probably brothers. Ye Yinfeng pretended to be respectful, but he couldn't help but look at each other.
They are wearing the uniforms issued by the Zhang Mansion, but their clothes are more gorgeous than those of the night watchmen last night. Their identities seem to be more noble than those of the night watchmen, but how noble are they?
He is also a servant of Zhang Mansion.
It's just that Ye Yinfeng is a little strange. Judging from the tone they used towards the eldest lady of the Zhang family just now, it seems that they don't have the kind of respect from the bottom of their hearts for her, but rather they are perfunctory.
He also felt that there were strong zhenqi fluctuations in these two people's bodies. They should have reached the inner strength realm, and they were masters who had reached the late stage of the inner strength realm.
Although he was not afraid of these two big men, he still pretended to be more respectful to them.
"Listen up, the uncle's name is Zhu Rulong, and that uncle is my brother Zhu Ruhu."
One of the men walked over from the door of the tower. His iron tower-like body stood in front of Ye Yinfeng, like a giant. After he said his name, he pointed to the door of the tower behind.
The man introduced his name.
"I have met two elder brothers Zhu. The two elder brothers are really extraordinary in temperament. One look at the two elder brothers' powerful and majestic figures, and I know that the two elder brothers must be martial arts masters with strong martial arts skills."
Ye Yinfeng's flattery made the two brothers feel like spring breeze, which made the two brothers feel so proud that they almost soared to the sky.
"Hahaha, this little brother is really good at talking. No wonder the eldest lady keeps you with me."
Zhu Rulong burst out laughing, and he stretched out a bear paw as big as a fan and slapped Ye Yinfeng on the shoulder. From the boy he was originally called, he became a little brother after being slapped indiscriminately.
The two brothers' views on this young man have also changed a lot. They seem to be more and more pleasing to their eyes, and they have completely forgotten that their original intention of looking for this young man was to cause trouble for each other.
Zhu Rulong's huge palms slapped Ye Yinfeng so hard that he gritted his teeth for a while. He was a rough man, and he didn't know how serious it was. He almost broke the bones of Ye Yinfeng's shoulders with one slap.
Ye Yinfeng endured the pain in his shoulders and asked Zhu Rulong: "Brother Zhu, what kind of treasures are placed in this tower? Why do you bother experts like the two elder brothers to guard it here?"
"Hahaha, you are the eldest lady's attendant, and you are also a member of the family. In fact, there are no treasures here. In fact, it is just the real corpse of the old master of the family placed inside. In order to prevent outsiders from approaching, I sent my two brothers to guard it.
.Actually, there is nothing in the tower. This tower is the central mechanism area of the underground palace of this mansion. The underground stone chambers are all controlled by the mechanisms in the tower. All the air circulation in the underground stone chambers is controlled by the mechanisms in the tower.
This tower controls it."
"Oh, that has given me some insight. No wonder so many people can live in that stone room, and the air inside is flowing smoothly. It turns out that all of this is the central mechanism in the tower at work."
At this moment, there was no one else in the backyard except the three of them. Zhu Ruhu didn't know what was going on, so he also stepped forward to chat with Ye Yinfeng.
He flattered Zhu Ruhu for a while, and it was very satisfying to flatter the two brothers.
While Ye Yinfeng was probing the two brothers' mouths, he would flatter the two brothers from time to time, until the two brothers wanted to tell everything they knew about the house.
In fact, he just casually dealt with the two brothers at first. He just said it casually without thinking. He didn't expect that the two brothers were so good at talking, so he had no choice but to talk nonsense with the two brothers.
It's just that the two brothers never said what the jade pendant buried with the old man of the Zhang family was. Ye Yinfeng also mentioned it slightly, but they really didn't know or something, so they didn't say it out.
Just when the three of them were chatting enthusiastically, there was a sound of slight footsteps. The two brothers suddenly looked shocked and quickly asked Ye Yinfeng to stay aside for a while.
And they also regained their cold expressions and stood motionless in front of the tower door.
Ye Yinfeng looked toward the footsteps, and when he saw the person clearly, he was stunned.
