The night after the snow seemed to be even colder, and there was a long and two short sound on the street in the distance, "knock, knock", and the third watch arrived.

At this time, most of the people were asleep, except for a house on the east side of the outer city, which was still shining with shadowy lights.

This is a typical two-in, two-out house, with a large carriage placed in the middle of the shadow wall of the outer courtyard, which was supposed to be an inverted seat room where the subordinates lived, but it was transformed into a stable, with several horses tied inside.

At this time, the light was on in the west wing of the inner courtyard, and there was a faint sound of talking from inside, the sound was not loud, but it seemed to be arguing about something.

"Master Nunnery, the amount of money you gave is not right," a low male voice said.

"How is it wrong? I'll tell you the hall master that this amount is good, and after deducting the money that has been given last time, that's all for the rest. A female voice rang out unhurriedly.

"The last time the money was counted as the last time, although we lost last time, but we also lost a brother, the two are even, isn't it? This time, you need to pay a lot of money. The man said.

"Lao Liu, are you slandering me? The last time it didn't work out, it was your own business, but it has nothing to do with me. The female voice said lightly.

"Master of the nunnery, it's not right for you to say that, we have cooperated so many times, your affairs, which time did our brothers not handle it well? Shouldn't you compensate for an occasional mistake? How can you be so unkind? "The man was a little angry.

"Lao Liu, don't be so angry, it's not impossible to give some compensation, but this must be made clear, I have a lot of friendship with your hall master, for your hall master's sake, these are considered compensation for your brothers." The female voice continued.

"Do you think we're called Hanako? This little silver is not enough to drink the northwest wind. Another man raised his voice.

"If you want it, don't want it and don't force it, don't want to be long." The other woman's voice said in a salty voice.

"You stinky bitch." The other man was just about to scold, but he was stopped by the man with the hoarse voice before, "Third brother, don't be impulsive, let's go and reply to the hall master, and don't take this job in the future." ”

"Big brother, let's go, I can't understand the theory with these girls, it's really fucking breathless to stay here." Another male voice said.

"In that case, we won't send it, everyone is good to go." The woman who was called the head of the nunnery said.

There was a sound of Soso packing up, and then the door of the west wing was pushed open, and five men came out, who went to the stables to pull the horses out of the door.

Outside the door, one of the short men said to the other tall man, "Big brother, we got silver taels today, why don't you go to Peach Blossom Cave to be happy and happy first, and then set off back tomorrow?" ”

"Third child, did you forget what the hall master explained? If you want to cause trouble and attract attention again, you will chop up the troublesome thing on your body. Listening to the voice of the eldest brother, it seems that he was the person who was called Lao Liu before.

The other three laughed, and when the short man heard this, he trembled with fright, couldn't help covering his lower body, and hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, big brother, whoever orders that peach blossom this time, my brother will never cause trouble again." ”

"And believe you, it's not impossible to go to a brothel, but my brothers should be honest with me." The old willow said.

When the rest of the people heard this, they all nodded busily, and there was no reason why they shouldn't be, and the five of them immediately got on their horses and galloped towards the Peach Blossom Cave.

Unexpectedly, on the roof of the east wing of the inner courtyard, there were actually two black-clothed masked people, these two people saw those people riding away, and couldn't help but glance at each other, one of them made a few gestures to the other, the man nodded, and flew down towards the peach blossom cave brothel. The other continued to lie on the roof and look towards the west wing.

"Master, these guys go back and talk to their hall master, but it matters?" The female voice that was not salty or light before spoke at this time.

"It doesn't matter, their hall master is a delicate person, how can he make a guest like us." It seems that the owner of the nunnery is speaking.

Not long after, the lights in the west wing were blown out, and the figures of two women came out, and in the darkness I saw the two of them slim, but they were also dressed as nuns. They didn't light the lights, they seemed to be familiar with the way, and walked directly into the east wing in the dark, and there was no sound after half a ring.

The man lying on the roof waited for a long time, and when he saw that there was silence inside and outside the courtyard, he quietly jumped out of the courtyard, and listened to the window of the east wing, and there seemed to be no sound inside, so he poked a small hole in the window and looked in, but found that it was dark and he could not see anything.

The man was quite puzzled, and could not help but move to the door of the wing, and pushed his hand to the door, but the door was bolted from the inside, and he thought about it, and took out a dagger from his waist, and reached into the crack of the door, and actually picked the door bolt open.

He gently pushed open the door, and looked in with his excellent eyesight, but still found no one, and he reluctantly went in, and took out the fire fold from his bosom, and looked around, and found that there was an oil lamp on the table, and he gladly stepped forward and lit the oil lamp with the fire fold.

Suddenly, the room lit up, and he looked at the room carefully, and there was only a table and a chair in the room, and there was a large bed against the wall, and the rest was empty.

"What about people? Didn't you go through the secret passage? He thought to himself.

But where is this secret passage? He moved the table and chair, and seeing that there was no response, he went to the edge of the bed again, and saw that there was no futon on the bed, only an empty bed. He stepped on the bed and patted the edge of the bed, but there was no movement.

He secretly cursed a few words, and scolded his stomach, secretly thinking that he would not let his helper leave if he knew that Dao, that person was a good hand at fiddling with the mechanism.

What he was looking for here was boring, and when he wanted to give up, he suddenly stopped the movements of his hand, did not turn his head, and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency has been looking at this for a long time, is it time to show up, it is freezing outside, why don't you come in and avoid the cold?" ”

A low chuckle came from outside the door, and another black-clothed masked man walked in, but this person was quite tall, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and he said, "Your Excellency has good ears, but you can't figure it out at all, how can you find the secret path?" ”

When the previous person heard this, he was quite touched, nodded and said, "What you said is good, why don't you try it?" ”

The man who appeared behind didn't care, walked up to the person, watched for a while, and then without saying a word, jumped directly on the bed, lay down on the bed, and patted the outside of the bed with his hand, and said, "You lie here." ”

The man was stunned by the man's actions before, and then immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly lay down with the man, and the man's eyes showed appreciation.

At this moment, the bed pedal "creaked" and moved to the side, revealing a hole, which was still pitch black.

The two of them didn't say a word, they both jumped up from the bed, and swept into the cave in turn, and after the two of them landed on the ground one after the other, the cave was lit up, and it turned out to be the person before, and he grabbed the oil lamp on the table before jumping down.

After the two jumped down, the hole squeaked and closed again.

The man's eyelids jumped, and he took the oil lamp and shone it, and found that it was a passage, and he did not know where it led, and both of them were beaming with joy on their faces, and they walked forward in unison.

The passage was quite dry and warm, but after only walking for a while, the passage came to an end, but seeing that there was a handle-like mechanism on the wall at the end of the passage, the two of them did not dare to go up and pull the handle.

The first man took out the dagger just now, pointed at the later man, and gestured to the ground, and the man immediately fell to the ground in a conscious manner, and the man then fell down, and threw the dagger in his hand with his hand, and the dagger hit the handle accurately.

Fortunately, there was no hidden weapon or anything like that, only a "click", and a hole was opened on the top of the wall, and the two straightened up, both of them sighed, and jumped out of the hole one after the other.

The entrance of the cave closed again, and the two of them secretly said that this passage was magical and abnormal, and they felt that the person who designed the mechanism of the cave entrance must be a person of whimsy.

After admiring this, they didn't know where they had come, and the person before shook the oil lamp around, and then both of them were stunned.

This is an empty room with only three walls.

They opened the door and looked out, not only stunned, but also after glancing at each other, they both laughed out loud, and they couldn't help but say, "It's actually here"!
