Chapter Eighty-Three: Calling for It
Accompanying Jing Yu all the way was a young boy who was younger than Jing Yu, who looked like he was not yet twenty years old, and his name was Xin Gan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He passed through the agency by himself, it seems that he was once a homeless orphan in a famine, sold to a sideshow troupe by human traffickers, but he lived a life of not having enough food and clothing, and was often beaten, and then escaped, and was taken in as a handyman by the shop under the "undercurrent", the name Xingan was also changed by himself later, which should mean that he is fortunate and willing! Later, Xingan entered the "undercurrent", and he already had such outstanding achievements at a young age.
Jing Yu's impression of Xin Gan at first glance was: he was a little thin, his complexion was a little dark, and he seemed to be a little shy, but his eyes were good, so he could consider recognizing a little brother! Hehehe......
After the two of them dived into the woods, they didn't spend much energy halfway up the mountain, but moved directly and quickly to the top, maybe the closer to the top of the mountain, the greater the danger of being discovered, but the more information they could get, if they didn't enter the tiger's den, they would get the tiger.
But unlike what they imagined, the whole mountain forest was quiet, there was no other movement, and everything was normal.
Could it be that they were wrong in the first place? Or does it mean that the king's power is not on this mountain at all, but somewhere else? Jing Yu didn't understand this, and Liu Yu, who chose to go straight up without any gains like Jing Yu, didn't understand either.
Although they have begun to doubt, they still firmly believe that Su Jin's speculation will not be wrong!
Soon, Su Jin's speculation had been confirmed.
They saw a road, it was not very wide, and it was lined with dense forests on both sides, but it was clear that it was a very frequently traveled road. So the question is, how can there be a forest road that is used so frequently in such a deep mountain forest? Where does it come from so much and so much stampede?
Just when Jing Yu and Xin Gan were about to go along the road to find out, a group of people in Tsing Yi suddenly appeared silently in the distance, and through the faint moonlight under the shadow of the tree, they could vaguely identify that there were about thirty of these people in total, each of them had a sharp sword at their waists, it was obvious that it was a training factor, and it was obvious that these were not ordinary people!
Seeing that the distance is getting closer and closer, it is impossible to retreat, once the slightest noise may expose them to these people in an instant, if it is only the two of them, it is easy to say, but now there are other people in this mountain, their exposure will not only put themselves in danger, but also cause others to fall into danger together. Xin Gan and Jing Yu both looked pale, and immediately decided to lie down on the spot, holding their breath and condensing, boldly speaking.
Fortunately, even if this group of Tsing Yi people passed by them closely, they were not able to find them who only relied on a sparse bush for cover.
They did not go to the road, but went along the woods at the edge of the road, so to speak.
Sure enough, they found something.
This is a cave that looks inconspicuous from the outside, the entrance of the cave is about the height of two people, the four walls outside are crawling with dense, intertwined old vines, there seems to be nothing special on the surface, but this is the end of this road, where the more than thirty people in Tsing Yi left just now. Then, this cave, which looks ordinary on the outside, is unlikely to be as simple as it seems.
In this hole, there must be another article.
Without any hesitation, Jing Yu decided to enter the cave to have a look.
As soon as they approached the entrance of the cave, they saw an anomaly, there was a faint fire in the cave, and there was no place in the cave to hide, which meant that once they encountered something unexpected in the cave, they would face it head-on, and there was no way to avoid it, and even if someone entered the cave from behind, they would not even have a way out.
It is obvious how irrational and even stupid it is to go into the hole in such a situation.
Jing Yu was silent for a moment, but still decided to enter the cave, this risk is worth taking.
Of course, he didn't intend to let Xingan continue to go in with him, he asked Xingan to stay outside the entrance of the cave so that he could answer when he came out. Second, if there are people coming behind, then if you can block it, you can block it, and if you can't block it, you can drag it out.
He actually made Xin Gan have a way out in a critical moment, even if he really ran into trouble, it would be much easier for the people at the entrance of the cave to get out than the people in the cave.
Xin Gan is not a stupid person, of course he understands that Jing Yu is leaving a way out for himself, but where did Jing Yu give him a chance to object, he threw the long sword in his hand into his arms, and replaced it with a delicate and light short sword, his figure flashed, and in the next moment, the person had disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
........
At this time, Liu Yu and another subordinate had come to the periphery of the garden where King Ming lived on the top of the mountain, and there was still no special discovery, as if this was just an ordinary mountain, the only special thing was that there was a prince living on this mountain, so other ordinary people could no longer go up the mountain casually.
It shouldn't be this way!
The subordinate was about to enter the garden to take a look, but Liu Yu stopped him, intuitively, this mountain must not be so simple, one thing he knows very well, often the calmer the surface, the more unpredictable what is hidden behind it.
At this moment, two maids in Tsing Yi came out of the side courtyard, each carrying a food box, which should have come out of the kitchen. But the two maids did not go to the atrium or the back garden with the food box, but went to the back garden, and then after a while, Liu Yu and the others faintly heard some dull sound coming from that direction, and it was two, exactly the same, but there was a short interval in between.
The suspicious point is that the two maids sent food to the back garden at night instead of sending it to the master's residence, and such a sound was faintly heard even by Liu Yu and the subordinate who were so far away, so other people in this courtyard must have heard it, but the courtyard was still quiet, as if the voice they heard was just an illusion and did not exist at all, which was difficult not to make people suspicious.
Liu Yu, who was already suspicious, jumped several times in a row, and after a while, he had already appeared on a tall and luxuriant old sandalwood tree outside the courtyard wall, and all the scenes in the back garden were unobstructed.
The area of this garden is very large, the area is almost twice the size of the whole brocade house, during which the rockery and the lake, the pavilions and pavilions are all available, and the elegance is extreme. Strangely enough, there were four guards with knives guarding the entrance to the garden. Although this is on the mountain, it is also a place where a prince lives after all, and it is naturally not uncommon to have guards, but it is not unusual for a mountain where no one petitions to take such strict precautions, not to defend the outside, but just a back garden. And there is no longer the shadow of the two maids in Tsing Yi who just entered this garden!
There must be something wrong with this back garden!
Liu Yu motioned for the subordinate to bypass the line of sight of the guards at the gate and sneak into the park from the other direction, while he first observed in the same place for a while.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for that dull sound to appear again, and at that moment, Liu Yu had already determined the source of the sound: a rockery that looked very ordinary on the outside magically opened a crack at this time, and slowly opened to both sides, and a secret door appeared, and there was obviously the light of the candle inside, and the two maids in Tsing Yi who suddenly disappeared had also walked out of the secret door, only to see one of the maids walking to the rockery on the side of the secret door, I don't know what was touched, Then the secret door behind him slowly returned to its original illusion.
Liu Yu smiled coldly: It seems that the article in this back garden is this secret door.
After the two maids in Tsing Yi left, Liu Yu quickly dodged and came to the rockery, just by that glance just now, he had already remembered the location of the mechanism that activated the secret door, but the moment his hand touched the mechanism, he suddenly reacted, he almost did what a stupid thing to kill himself.
There was a sound when the secret door was activated, and when the two maids in Tsing Yi started just now, no one responded outside because everyone outside knew the reason, but now the two maids have left, if the secret door is activated again, isn't it clear to tell the people outside that someone has broken in?
How can you open this secret door without alarming the people outside?
Liu Yu whispered two words in the subordinate's ear, and then the subordinate's figure quickly disappeared into the dim night.
About half a pillar of incense at the end of the time, there was a sudden commotion outside the garden, and someone hurriedly shouted: Quickly put out the fire, Xiye Pavilion is out of the water!
So everyone was alarmed, and they all rushed to the side of Xiye Pavilion.
At this time, who could have known that in the easternmost back garden of the entire garden, a secret door hidden from people with rockeries had been quietly opened.
Inside the secret door is a staircase that goes down, and further down is a small underground dark room, where faint candlelight fills every corner of the dark room.
But what Liu Yu never expected was that he would see a woman here.
I saw only one woman, and nothing else of value.
The woman in front of her was dressed in a lilac plain dress, her hair was just casually draped over her shoulders, and most of her face was blocked, but it was still obvious that this was a beautiful woman with excellent appearance. She stood upright on the ground, looked at Liu Yu with a shocked face, and said faintly with some joy, "Are you the one who came to save me?" ”
Liu Yu's approach is what any reasonable person would choose in such a situation: he quickly stepped forward and turned sharply behind the woman, and in the blink of an eye, a short and light dagger had appeared on the woman's neck, followed by Liu Yu's cold voice standing behind the woman:
"Tell me, who are you?"
