Chapter 17: The Eight-Way Formation
After returning to the inn, Yu Chengan sat at the table and drank tea slowly, Hua Jiu on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and a series of questions threw at him.
"Didn't you say that Washington also has 2,000 soldiers and horses, why did I go there last night only to find that there were less than a few hundred people?" After thinking about it, he added, "And there is no treasury." ā
An expression of 'you deceived me' made Yucheng An smile helplessly, and replied, "It seems that you didn't steal the gold bars." ā
"There's no vault at all!" She pouted dissatisfiedly, and propped her cheeks on the table with both hands into revenge mode.
Yu Cheng'an shook his head calmly, and then said to the second girl on the side: "Second girl, please prepare paper and ink." ā
After hearing this, the second girl hurriedly went downstairs to find the shopkeeper to borrow it, and Hua Jiu asked in confusion:
"What do you want paper and ink for?"
"You'll find out in a moment." He took a sip of his tea, looking mysterious.
After a while, Er Niu took the paper and ink, and after he picked up the pen, he rolled up his sleeves and began to draw something on the paper.
Hua Jiu leaned his head over curiously, only to see that his brows were tightly furrowed as if he was trying to recall something, and then he dipped the ink and brushed it twice on the paper, and after half a pillar of incense, he saw a map appear.
"Isn't this Washington?" She suddenly saw it and said hurriedly.
Yucheng'an drew it in great detail, and no corner was left behind, and the entire map of Washington was instantly spread out on the table, like a real map.
The second girl looked at it with admiration, but Hua Jiu asked puzzledly:
"Why are you drawing a map of Washington?"
"Didn't you see anything here?" Yu Cheng'an pointed to the small area of the Houfu and said, "Look at the houses here, they are all facing one place. ā
Hua Jiu's eyes widened for a long time, but he still didn't understand, and then asked, "Isn't there anything wrong with not all facing the gate?" ā
"These windows are all facing the main house, which is Hua Yu's dormitory."
"That's right...... So what? ā
Hua Jiu still looked confused, which made Yucheng An wonder if she was Duan Jinkong's apprentice, how could she be like this...... Stupid. After holding his forehead and sighing, he could only explain in detail.
"There is an eight-in-one mechanism array in Xicheng, created by Lone Bi Qiu, its array is extremely hidden, can accommodate thousands of people, the array is divided into eight directions, the northeast and northwest are empty. If you don't guess wrong, the entire Houfu has been set up by Hua Yu. ā
When Hua Jiu heard this, it suddenly dawned on her, no wonder there were a few vacant rooms next to Hua Yu's dormitory, at that time she wondered why there were vacant rooms next to the main house, and now she knew that it was a lineup.
Yu Chengan continued: "Presumably, there are thousands of people who should be hiding in this underground. "Anyway, the food grid is between the main house and several other courtyards.
"So that means the vault is down here?" Hua Jiu's eyes lit up again, as if he saw a pile of white flowers and silver beating in front of him at this time.
She is not greedy for money, but when she thinks of the endless flower chicken, her heart surges, and she just has to pay back the forty-five taels of silver in Yuchengan.
Seeing her look of intoxication immersed in her own world, there should be signs of acting again.
Yucheng An shook his head helplessly, presumably this girl didn't know the power of the Bahe Array, so she reminded: "The Bahe Array is windless and automatic, and it takes about two hours to change positions, and it is easy for people who enter this array to get lost and be trapped." ā
Hearing this, Hua Jiu remembered last night with a little fear, fortunately he came out within two hours, otherwise wouldn't he be trapped in it?
"That'...... Will there be dead people? She suddenly leaned towards Yucheng'an's side and asked nervously, this was what she was most worried about.
"The Eight-in-One Formation will only trap people, and it won't hurt anything." He replied.
"That's good." Hua Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, she had already left a shadow on the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, Lou Xiaoyue's eyes, movements, and that terrifying aura, she still remembered it vividly at this moment, and now she has to think about life and death before anything in the expedition.
"That means it's okay to come out of the formation within two hours?" She looked towards Yucheng'an, and when she saw him nodding, she asked another important point.
"Where's the entrance to this formation?"
But Yu Cheng'an asked rhetorically: "If you were Hua Yu, where would you put that wealth?" ā
"Of course, I put it on my body." Hua Jiu replied without thinking.
"Can you fit that much gold?" Yuchengan immediately gave her a roll of the eyes, and kept saying that she was really stupid.
Hua Jiu pursed his mouth, his heart was devastated, and he muttered in a low voice: "I'm not him, he likes to put it wherever he likes..."
At this time, he said again: "The gathering place of the Bahe Array is the entrance, that is, in the main mansion, I suspect that there should be a hidden mechanism in Huayu's dormitory to enter." Today I went to his house and went to his study and bedroom, but I did not observe it carefully because of the urgency of time. ā
"It seems that you have gained a lot from going to Washington today." Hua Jiu began to admire him a little, and with this information, she could now steal gold bars as long as she found the agency.
Thinking of this, she began to touch her chin and ponder about going to Washington again tonight. At this time, Yucheng Anti yƬ went with her, she couldn't ask for it, and the two of them had a good response.
However, entering the Huayu dormitory, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. can think of setting up a hidden vault, Hua Yu is definitely not simple, and he is a person who has been fighting for a long time, his vigilance must be very strong, and stealing under his nose is a bit tricky.
However, no matter how tricky it was, the lure of gold bars made Hua Jiu not stop there. She went to prepare a few props to facilitate the crime, and her small figure instantly disappeared into the flow of people. Yucheng An went to prepare a set of night clothes, and the only remaining two girls stayed in the inn to take care of the white tiger.
Xiaobai roared, as if complaining that he was hungry. The second girl prepared a lot of food for it, but this guy always seemed to be underfed, and there was not much silver left on her body at this time. The white tiger itself eats a lot, and the Western Regions is a country with high prices. She thought to herself that if she couldn't steal the gold bars this time, she was afraid that the three of them would not even be able to afford to live in the inn.
At this time, she could only silently pray that Hua Jiu and Yucheng An would succeed tonight.
