Su Mo's musings didn't last long, and the group made their way through the city and alleys, finally stopping in front of a secluded courtyard near the roots of the imperial city.

This courtyard looked nothing unusual from the outside, just like the most ordinary courtyard of ordinary people's homes, and Su Mo could even hear the cooing of chickens eating in the courtyard. If it weren't for the old eunuch nodding to him firmly, Su Mo suspected that they had gone the wrong way.

The fat man approached Su Mo vigilantly, his two small eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked around secretly, he always felt that there was a smell that made him uneasy. As for the reason, I can't say, in short, it's too ordinary, *quiet.

"Young Master. He whispered at Su Mo and gestured with his eyes.

Su Mo bowed slightly, and then shook his head slightly. He has extraordinary sensing and God's perspective skills, and he is much clearer than the fat man's mysterious intuition.

This is indeed a very ordinary courtyard, but there are many people hidden in the courtyards next to each other.

What is this, Hongmen Banquet? Trap? For example, when the cup is smashed, the knife and axe hands swarm out at the sound of an order?

Su Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, stood in place and didn't pay attention to the old eunuch's gesture of reaching out to invite, but just looked around, and his mind was running rapidly.

The old eunuch seemed to have finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and his face was no longer as nervous as before, and he was a little less humble. If you look closely, you can even find a faint sense of pride and contempt.

"Master Su, please. He bent over and extended his hand to Su Mo again.

Su Mo retracted his gaze, raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and said with a smile on his face: "Yo, it seems that he has really arrived at the ground, and Grandpa Yao has even strengthened his anger." But I said, are you sure we're not going down the wrong path? I'm a countryman, and I don't know much about reading, so don't fool me. ”

Father-in-law Yao's cheeks twitched, and he laughed dryly twice, and said, "Master Su said that he was laughing, the old slave and the old man, how could he say anything arrogant." However, although the old slave is old, he is not yet confused, and he does not dare to make mistakes in this way. Our governor is in the house at the moment, so let's invite the son in to meet him. ”

Su Mo took a deep look at him, but the fat man next to him suddenly started, and only one dodged to the old eunuch's side, and the probe pinched his throat.

The old eunuch was suddenly grabbed by the vital point, and suddenly he was like a chicken pinched by the neck, his face was flushed, and he desperately broke the hand that choked his throat with both hands, and struggled vigorously. There was a voice that didn't know the meaning in his mouth, but his eyes looked at Su Mo hard, showing a look of horror and pleading.

Su Mo smiled slightly, and his eyes swept around a few courtyards again, and then patted the fat man's arm.

The fat man understood, the strength in his hand was slightly restrained, but his eyes swept coldly at the two panicked brocade guards, and Sen Han's killing intent swept over unabashedly.

The two brocade guards felt cold, as if they were being targeted by some fierce beast for a moment, and the spirit spirit shivered, and unconsciously took two steps back. But then as if he thought of something again, his face suddenly showed a decisive look, glanced at each other, and then clenched the embroidered spring knife, his body arched slightly, and made a gesture of pounce.

Over there, the old eunuch Father-in-law Yao was able to let go and coughed again and again. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the posture of the two brocade guards, and waved his hands again and again in a panic, asking the two to step back.

After the two brocade guards retreated like an amnesty, they looked relieved, turned their heads to look at Su Mo, and said hoarsely: "Su ...... Vice-Envoy, this ...... Why is that?"

Su Mo shrugged, glanced back at the courtyard that had been silent from beginning to end, and said in a manly voice, "Well, it's nothing, it's all a misunderstanding." My brother is naturally timid, and he can't be stimulated the most. If you get the slightest bit of trouble, it's easy to go crazy. Anyway, there is a little uncalm in these four times, it's really no wonder that he is, and I ask my father-in-law to be considerate. ”

As soon as these words came out, the fat man and Father-in-law Yao rolled their eyes together. Father-in-law Yao naturally doesn't believe this kind of nonsense at all, uncle, he really doesn't know anything about miscellaneous families. The two guards were quite powerful masters among the guards in the inner court, but in front of this dead fat man, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move. Your sister, such a big master, you told me that he was timid? Why can you be more serious about nonsense?

And the fat man rolled his eyes, but he listened to the young master's words, and what was wrong. What does it mean to not be stimulated, and what does it mean to go crazy at the slightest movement? Are you sure you're talking about me, not a mad dog? According to this young master's unscrupulous record in the past, the fat master will never hesitate to use the most vicious mind to figure out this.

Not to mention that these two people have their own thoughts, but the old eunuch Yao Gonggong doesn't want to be like a chicken all the time, pinching his neck and carrying him.

At that moment, he called out for injustice: "Deputy Envoy Su, Ancestor Su, Little Master, you are not an unjustly killed old slave." Where is the unrest here? Please, this squire Song, old slave, ahem, old slave is about to run out of breath, ahem, ahem, ahem......."

He coughed like a dehydrated fish, twitching and writhing all over, and his tongue was about to spit out.

The faces of the two brocade guards who had just been drunk changed greatly, and they subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife again, and they were about to rush up to stop it.

This father-in-law Yao is very powerful, if he dies in front of him like this, the two of them will never escape their lives when they go back. Although the boy and the fat man are terrible, since they are dead on the left and right, they still have to worry about something, so they simply fight.

The fat man looked at it coldly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cold arc. His eyes were faintly aimed at the two of them, and there was a cruel look in his eyes.

"Ahem, since the guests are here, why don't you go in and talk about it? If my unsuccessful subordinates have any offense, please raise your noble hand and be lenient. ”

The tension between the two was about to start, and in the courtyard that had been silent for a long time, an old voice suddenly sounded.

As soon as this voice came out, Gonggong Yao, who was still struggling for his life, and the two brocade-clothed guards showed a look of relief at the same time. The two brocade guards took half a step back, and at the same time put away their knives and knelt down, facing the small courtyard, and they actually didn't look at the fat man who was a great threat to them;

And Father-in-law Yao also stopped his futile struggle, desperately turned his head to look at the courtyard, and hissed: "Old ancestor ......"

Su Mo and the fat man glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces were unmoved, but their hearts sank at the same time, and they secretly added a little solemnity.

As soon as the person in the courtyard spoke out, he didn't even care about his life, which shows the weight of his prestige. In this remote and strange place, the consequences of facing such a character are unpredictable.

"Alas......"

The people in the courtyard listened to the movement outside, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and did not respond to Grandpa Yao's call, but just let out a long sigh.

With the sound of sighs, the door of the small courtyard, which was originally closed, creaked, and a man in a green shirt was standing quietly at the door at the left and right openings.

As soon as this person appeared, the two prostrate brocade-clothed guards lowered a few points further. Su Mo stared at it, but saw that this person was about fifty or sixty years old, wearing a wingless net hat, a blue straight jacket, and dark cloud soap boots, his face was fair, but he had a bit of a baby's flush.

The slightly slender eyebrows, black and white, are the same as the hair that appears under the brim of the hat. This is why Su Mo is not sure of his age.

And the most concerning thing is the eyes under this person's long eyebrows. Those eyes were calm and waveless, as if the moon was reflected in an ancient well. At first glance, it seems to be clear and thorough, but when you look closely, there is a sense of trance, giving people an extremely strange feeling.

"Old ...... Ancestor ......" Father-in-law Yao called again, but this call was like a murmur, revealing a little uneasiness and fear.

This is Xiao Jing? Su Mo's eyes shrank suddenly, like the tip of a needle. He could feel that the old man in front of him did not have any strong strength in his body. But it was extremely strange, giving him an indescribable threat, and this contrast was extremely strange.

And what made him feel even more strange was that if he didn't know clearly that the person in front of him was a eunuch, he would almost think that this was really an ordinary person. The ordinary ones are exactly the same as the old people who don't grow beards in later generations.

"Alas!" Xiao Jing sighed lightly again, looking at Su Mo. "Master Su, can you give the miscellaneous family a thin noodle, and let Yao Chong go first?"

This Yao Chong is obviously the name of the old eunuch Yao Gonggong. Su Mo groaned, his gaze wandered around the left again, but he didn't respond immediately.

has suffered a big loss a few times, and it would be stupid for him to be so heartless. Although he expected that he would have some dependence, he would not give authority to others so easily. Regardless of the outcome, multiple hostages in the hands are always a few points safe.

Xiao Jing looked at him indifferently, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he glanced at him deeply, but surprisingly didn't ask for more. On the contrary, after a little silence, he turned slightly sideways and said indifferently: "In this case, please invite Su Gongzi to come in and serve tea." After that, he ignored Su Mo's reaction, and simply turned around and walked in.

Su Mo's face was cloudy, he squinted at his back and didn't enter the door, and after a little thought, he also stepped forward to follow.

The fat man was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "Young master!"

Su Mo paused, but then waved his hand without looking back, and then calmly stepped in. He didn't call the fat man to go in together, so if something happened, it was equivalent to that there was someone outside who answered. Coupled with the hostage of Yao Chong in his hand, there shouldn't be any big problems.

As for Xiao Jing's room, he had just quietly spied it from God's perspective. There was no ambush or anything like that, only two people on the east side. It's just that they sit and lie down, and the breath of life is also strong and weak. Obviously, the weak one should be a sick person, and it seems to be on the verge of dying.

Who would be stupid enough to hurt someone and get a patient next to him? That's why Su Mo dared to follow up so calmly. Moreover, he faintly realized the reason why Xiao Jing came to him.
