Thinking that he would encounter many guards along the way, Ye Zi walked very carefully. As a result, the gates of the two courtyards were successfully sneaked through, and except for the ignorant maid ring servant hiding behind the door and whispering, the shadow of half of the guards was not seen.

Ye Zi thought about it, and then was relieved.

This is the backyard of the city lord, where all the women and children, concubines and children live, and it is not a heavy treasury, and the guards usually only patrol outside the courtyard. If it is late today, the guards will focus on the main courtyard and the storeroom, and they will not go this way. In addition, now there is an old man Huang on the other side of the warehouse who has the intention to lure, and the guards are flocking away to show their loyalty and meritorious service.

Successfully touched the outside of the city lord's bedroom, and the two young servants chatted and looked around.

Ye pinched up two leaves, infused spiritual power and hit the two people's acupoints, and the two of them didn't even blink their eyes, and they fainted to the ground.

She stepped forward and moved the two of them to the bushes next to them, and quietly sneaked into the city lord's bedroom. The room is quite large, with a spacious main room in the middle, and a square sandalwood bed against the wall. On the left and right sides are side compartments, standing with multi-treasure grids of different shapes, and jade objects are placed in the grid, as well as some pill bottles and unknown ornaments with strange styles.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Ye Zi hurriedly squatted down and hid behind a screen. Soon, two voices came faintly--

"I heard that someone broke into the warehouse at night and wanted to steal the treasure, but fortunately the guards found it in advance."

"I don't know who is so bold that even the City Lord's Mansion dares to break in. Oh, Ah Zai and Ah Shi are not good looking, where did they go? ”

"Needless to say, I must have gone to the front to see the excitement! We hurried to find them and come back, and by the way, we went to have a look. ”

"This ......"

"What are you afraid of? When someone found out, we said that we were going to find Ah Zai and Ah Shi. ”

"Okay, let's go."

As soon as the two walked away, Ye Zi quickly got up and walked quickly to the sandalwood bed, and touched along the three sides, but there were no grooves.

Old man Huang said that this is a machine bed, and there is a treasure hidden in the belly, where is the mechanism that can be opened?

The head of the bed, the edge of the bed. I've checked them all, but none of them. There is still one side that has not been identified, but that one is close to the wall, if the mechanism is there. How hard does it take to open the mechanism? This bed is nearly a zhang wide and weighs a thousand catties, and it is difficult to move it by one person.

Ye Zi lifted the futon on the bed again, and the bed surface was polished smooth and smooth, and nothing was found.

Odd! How could you not find it?

She is not dead and careful. I checked inside and out, and I really didn't find anything, not even the extra patterns, and the whole thing was polished and smooth, like a giant sandalwood box.

Time passed bit by bit, approaching the deadline given to her by Old Man Huang.

I finally came in for a trip, and I couldn't just give up.

The leaves put their last hope on the side against the wall. Pushing, moving, kicking, all kinds of methods, this bed did not move at all.

Also! According to her cultivation strength, the maximum weight bearing does not exceed three hundred catties. And this bed is more than a thousand pounds.

At this moment, Ye Zi noticed that someone was coming this way, with a light breath and steady steps, and he was a person who had cultivated to a high level!

Could it be that the lord of the city himself has returned?

Ye Zi was in a hurry, and hurriedly restored the mattress to its original state. As soon as she turned around, she thought again: If she goes out at this time, she will definitely bump into her, and according to her strength, it is absolutely impossible to escape under the double attack of many guards and the Baiyang City Lord.

Hide first. Before the countermeasures were thought of, Ye Zi's mind had already reacted in time. Dodge into the space.

"Squeak......

The door was pushed open, and the person who came suddenly tightened his face, walked quickly into the house, walked around, and finally found nothing. I couldn't help frowning in confusion.

"Huh? I obviously feel the breath of a stranger, how can I ......"

People who come don't give up, inside and out, up and down, even under the root of the window and the outer wall, really don't find anything. before returning to the sandalwood bed.

This person is about fifty years old, with a square face, sword eyebrows and thin eyes, plus a black brocade robe embroidered with gold edges, the whole person exudes an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

It seems that he is the Lord of Baiyang City.

The leaves quietly watch everything outside in the space. I don't know if it's because her cultivation is too low, or if there are any restrictions on the black jade pendant itself, this kind of probing can only last for ten breaths.

If you want to inquire again, you have to wait three hours.

However, in the last two breaths, Ye Zi saw the people outside putting their hands on the incense burner in front of the sandalwood bed.

When I went back to the room, I didn't do anything, I didn't even drink a sip of tea, but what did I do when I touched the incense burner?

Ye Zi carefully recalled the appearance of the incense burner he saw just now, but unfortunately he was in a hurry, and only glanced at it, and vaguely remembered that the incense burner was about half a person high, with three legs on the ground, and the top of the furnace was engraved with dragon patterns, and the dragon's eye seemed to be inlaid with two red and black gemstones.

A dragon actually used two gems of different colors to set in the eyes, is it ......

Alas! Ye Zi sighed regretfully, why didn't he think of it just now?

Wei Zhong, the city lord of Baiyang, checked that there was nothing unusual in the sandalwood bed, so he really relieved his heart and called someone to come and ask.

"What about the servants who are outside?"

The respectful old housekeeper's face froze, and he hurriedly replied: "I have already sent someone to find it just now, but it is just ......"

Wei Zhong's expression was sharp, and he shouted: "Stealing and playing lazy things, find it and get me out directly, and in addition, find a few honest and obedient people to come over." ”

The old butler hesitated slightly, and then suggested, "Do you want to send a few powerful guards over to guard it?" ”

"Not necessarily!"

Wei Zhong refused without thinking about it.

The guard has a cultivated body, and he can easily find out everything in his room, so isn't it easy for the secret of the sandalwood bed to be exposed to people?

After sending the old butler away, Wei Zhong sat down on the futon in front of the incense burner and pondered. Who is it tonight? On the side of the storeroom, he carefully looked at it with his spiritual sense, but found nothing, and the double prohibition outside the storehouse was also intact.

Three hours later, Ye Zi inquired again, and saw the Baiyang City Lord sitting in front of the incense burner with only a shirt, cultivating.

Ye Hesheng and Ye Yuguo carefully surveyed the room where Ye Zi lived, looking for any possible clues. Ye Fang stood outside the door with a panicked expression and watched the two of them busy, but his eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, the two of them examined every inch of the place, and found nothing.

"You come in." Ye Hesheng pointed at Ye Fang, and his tone was not very good.

Ye Fang walked in obediently, and looked at Ye Hesheng with shrunken eyes, "Uncle Hesheng, Uncle Yuguo." ”

"You really didn't hear anything last night?" Ye Yuguo asked.

Ye Fang hurriedly shook his head, "No." I—I've been practicing, but then I accidentally fell asleep. When I woke up, it was just dawn, and Gao Zu was not in the room, so I thought she had gone out for breakfast again, so I didn't care. ”

Ye He sighed without a trace and asked, "Did Gao Zu have anything else strange last night?" ”

"Nope. After Gao Zu and I returned to the cave, we chatted casually, and Gao Zu also told me not to take half a step out of the cave. ”

Ye Hesheng nodded, "What about later?" ”

Ye Fang bit her lip and replied with some annoyance: "After we went back to our rooms, because I was too tired the night before yesterday and didn't cultivate, I thought about using last night to make up for the cultivation I had lost, but as a result, I still fell asleep later." ”

Ye Yuguo shouted suspiciously: "Have you told the truth?" When cultivating, the sea of consciousness automatically moves with the power of heaven and earth, how can you fall asleep? ”

Ye Fang shook her head a little panicked, and replied: "I, I also feel strange, I have never encountered this situation before, maybe, it may be the reason why I have been in a hurry for the past few days." ”

When Ye Hesheng heard this, he suddenly frowned, turned around and walked quickly towards Ye Fang's room, and as soon as he entered, the whole person froze.

Ye Yuguo then came in, saw his figure paused, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Hesheng didn't answer immediately, closed his eyes and sniffed carefully in the room, and suddenly said, "There is a very faint smell of medicine in this room." ”

"Medicinal smell?" Ye Yuguo was stunned, then shrugged his nose vigorously, and frowned blankly, "I didn't smell any peculiar smells." ”

Ye Hesheng glanced back at him, looked at Ye Fang's room carefully, and muttered, "It's very light." If I hadn't smelled it before, I probably wouldn't have noticed it. ”

"From this point of view, Ye Fang fell asleep last night because of external factors? Did someone do something and then take Gao Zu captive? Ye Yuguo boldly speculated.

Ye Hesheng was a little confused, "It's hard to say." There is no sign of destruction at the entrance of the cave, so it is possible that Gaozu went out by himself and encountered an accident, or was lured out. ”

"Phew."

Ye Yuguo slammed the table angrily, and said angrily: "Yesterday, we have repeatedly told us not to take half a step out of the cave, how can that woman make trouble like this?" ”

"Be careful." Hearing this, Ye Hesheng glanced at Ye Fang, who was still outside the door, Ye Fang's shoulders shrank in fright, turned around and hurriedly ran out of the cave.

Ye Hesheng turned his head and stared at Ye Yuguo warningly, "Presumably I don't need to remind you that the wall has ears, she is the ancestor of the Ye family, and it is the result of the unanimous agreement of the ancestor and the six clan elders, what will you think when outsiders hear your words?" If we don't unite and don't respect ourselves, how can we get the favor of others? ”

"Hmph." Ye Yuguo turned his face away quite unconvinced, and stopped saying nothing as if he knew that he was wrong. (To be continued.) )
