Chapter 453: The North and South Compounds

It is said that Chang'an Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, the eyes around the Zhong Family Inn are not only Cao Anmin. Chang'an City in the dark night was filled with a strange and evil smell, which made the strong Chen Long also shudder.

Chen Long turned light into darkness, returned to the Zhong Family Inn after putting on makeup, and finally found some clues. In the dark night, Chen Long felt that there was a lot of darkness, and he didn't know the arrangements in the night, so he couldn't help but have the idea of breaking into Weiyang Palace and Wang Yun's Mansion overnight.

Back then, because of Chun Yuqiong's arrow, he once broke through the palace of Wang Yun in Luoyang at night, and met the peerless beauty Diao Chan. Wang Yun's mansion in Chang'an is the old mansion of the Wang family, and Chen Long does not know the depth. But even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, can it be more dangerous than in the palace?

Chen Long found an opportunity to join Lu Chang behind him, and Lu Chang was behind him and didn't find anything. Chen Long told him about the plan to visit the palace and Wang Yun's mansion at night, Lu Chang was a belligerent, and after listening to Chen Long's plan, he rubbed his hands excitedly and agreed in one breath.

Lu Chang has always been known for his light skills, and he is Chen Long's best partner. Although he has always been by Chen Long's side, he is very low-key, good at hiding, and coupled with various disguises, he has not been noticed by the enemy, so he can always become a surprise soldier.

The two took advantage of the darkness to explore the surroundings of Weiyang Palace first. The palace defense arranged by Jiang Ji was in order, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and Chen Long did not dare to break in rashly if he couldn't see the layout. Lu Chang said: "Lord, it seems that the palace is heavily defended now, why don't you go to explore the old mansion of the Wang family first, and then come to the palace to investigate late at night." ”

Chen Long nodded in approval, and the two of them disappeared, walked through the wall and cornices, and came to the side of the Wang family's old mansion located in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, without attracting anyone's attention.

The two came to the roof of a high-rise building and looked at the Wang's old mansion from afar. The old residence of the Wang family spans two main streets, so it is divided into two courtyards in the north and south, the ancestral ancestral hall and the place of daily worship and gathering are located in the south courtyard, and the daily residence is in the north courtyard. Lu Chang looked at the black pressed tile roof in front of him, scratched his head and said, "Where to start?" Lord. ”

Chen Long is not an ancient architect, but Niu has a super light brain in his head, and after hearing the words, he searched and said: "The wealthy and prosperous families are generally highly respected, old, and pampered, and the places where they live are all sitting on the north, and the places where they are treated are all in the hall, that is, the main house. Therefore, the north courtyard should be inhabited. ”

"There is a big road between the south and north courtyards, there is no door to communicate, and there is only through the street to go from the south courtyard to the north courtyard, if they all enter and exit from the gate, it is not very convenient. Therefore, it is always necessary to open a few hidden small doors, which outsiders do not know, not only can they enter and exit conveniently, but also in case of an accident at home, the female dependents and children can leave first from the small door. ”

Lu Changxi said: "Then as long as you search the street between the north and south courtyards, you should be able to find those inconspicuous small doors." ”

The two of them followed the shadow of the wall and entered the north and south courtyards along the street, and when they walked for a short time, Lu Chang had already found the small door at the root of the wall of the north courtyard, and it was really unguarded.

Lu Changgang was about to start unlocking the lock, but Long Chen grabbed him and said, "You should pick the lock on the opposite side." As he spoke, he pointed to the small door under the wall of the south courtyard opposite.

Lu Chang was surprised: "Lord, didn't you say that the north courtyard is the one who lives?" ”

Long Chen smiled and said in a low voice: "Do you have a good brain, follow my resourceful lord, how can your intelligence still be at the level of a pig?"

Lu Chang looked like he was thinking seriously, but he still didn't figure it out, and said: "The lord is wise and martial, don't go around the bend and scold your subordinates." ”

Chen Long nodded: "If you are a normal member of the Wang clan, you will naturally live in the north courtyard. But if there is any secret person who is afraid of being seen, should he put it in a place where no one usually sees it?"

Lu Changmeng reacted, nodded and gave a thumbs up, quickly twisted his body and walked to the small door of the south courtyard, took out the lock-picking equipment he carried, and skillfully opened the small door lock. The two entered the dark south courtyard and walked cautiously along the courtyard path.

The south courtyard of Wang's old mansion is mainly a family ancestral hall, with a symmetrical layout of the axis. There are clouds in the ancient book: "Where to build the ancestral hall for the home temple, the first three doors (mountain gate), the second thing and west walking corridor, and the second big place, after the Ming Building, the tea pavilion, the pavilion is the dormitory. "The courtyard space of the ancestral hall is composed of three or four entrance buildings, that is, the gate, the instrument gate, the enjoyment hall, the dormitory, and some ancestral halls also set up a garden at the back. Many ancestral halls are equipped with theatres, marking the strengthening of the nature of ancestral halls as public buildings. Xiangtang is the main hall of the ancestral hall, also known as the sacrificial hall, which is the place where the sacrificial ceremony or clan meeting is held, so it is generally the largest in the building complex, the most exquisite materials, and the most ornately decorated building; The dormitory is a place where ancestral shrines or memorial objects are placed, and there are shrines at the back of the building.

Chen Long looked up the format of the ancestral hall in his light brain, and immediately distinguished that the largest building in the center was the main hall of the ancestral hall, and there were several small courtyards in front and back of the hall, all of which were dark and dull without light.

Chen Long pointed to a few small courtyards behind the main hall, Lu Chang understood, and was about to go over to check, Chen Long grabbed it and hid it in the darkness.

Sure enough, there was a sound of opening the door behind him, and an old voice sounded: "These boys, careless, why is this door unlocked?"

Another young and majestic voice sounded: "Father, because people enter and exit this small door frequently during the day, it is normal that there are often people who come and go late at night. ”

The old voice said: "Gai'er, you have to defend those family members, I knew that they were lazy and slippery, you are so indulgent to them, I will clean them up sooner or later." ”

The man named Ge'er held an open flame lantern, and the two walked along the path to a side courtyard in front. There was no family in the whole courtyard, obviously they didn't want to attract people's eyes, Chen Long and Lu Chang glanced at each other, thinking that they really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get them, so the two quickly followed the old and the young, and quietly followed away.

The lights flickered, and he entered a dark and inconspicuous courtyard, and he did not see the entrance door, and he had to illuminate the window lattice of a hut for a while. At that moment, the divine power was transported to his ears, and he just heard Gai'er's voice ringing: "Gai'er greets Uncle Shi." ”

The person who was called Uncle Shi snorted vaguely, which was counted as an answer. But Chen Long's ears were so dexterous, his heart tightened, although the voice was vague, it was definitely Wang Yue, and he couldn't imagine that he was recuperating here.

Gai'er is called Uncle Wang Yueshi, naturally a child of the Wang family, Wang Yun has a son called Wang Gai, it seems that the three generations of the core of the Wang family, the old, middle and young, actually gathered here tonight.
