An Su's movements were very fast, and early the next morning, she went to Zhu Xuhou's mansion with Zhou Yafu. It took a long time for Zhou Ying, who had accepted her new name, to follow, but because she was doing something serious, she coaxed her to stay here alone. Xu saw her brother who had been absent for a long time, and Zhou Ying also became more coquettish, more like a little girl of her age.

The Mansion of Marquis Zhu Xuhou and Princess Lu Yuan are not far away, but it will take some time to walk there. An Su and Zhou Yafu had breakfast on the way, and then rushed over, when the sun was already high in the sky, and it was rare to be so warm in autumn.

"Who are you? What did you do in Zhuxu's Mansion? "There are more than twice as many guards at the gate of the Hou Mansion as usual, and there are even teams patrolling back and forth.

"This eldest brother, I am a friend of Zhu Xuhou, and it is rare to pass by here, so I want to come to visit." An Su said kindly.

The guard looked An Su and the others from head to toe several times: "You said that you are a friend of our Hou Ye, do you have any tokens?" ”

"Yes, Master Hou once gave me a token." Ansu said as he reached for the token on his waist. But the token that I had brought with me before going out couldn't figure it out at this time.

An Suzai carefully searched for several times, but it was indeed no longer on his body. She suddenly remembered the man who accidentally bumped into her while she was having breakfast on the side of the street. At that time, he was in a hurry, and ran away after apologizing to the person, An Su thought that he still had important things to do, and he didn't do much to investigate, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid he touched the token.

"Big brother, it's really unfortunate that we were robbed on the way here, and the token was also taken away. It's better for the eldest brother to report for us, and the Hou Ye will definitely see me. ”

The guard saw that she couldn't take out the token, and the previous peace was gone: "It's a swagger again, if you can't get the token, you will go away, what cats and dogs want us to report, won't Master Hou be annoyed to death by you and other young people?" Before I can make a move, get out! ”

"This big brother, we are not liars, please help us report it, and tell the Hou Ye that Shangguan Ansu of Changle Palace wants to see him, and he will definitely come out." Ansu still didn't give up.

"Go, go, dare to climb the Changle Palace! Something, get out of here. The guard, apparently impatient, raised his spear and pushed Ansu out.

This Hou Mansion is heavily guarded, and if you want to enter, you must go through the main gate. An Su remembered the trick she had used in Zuichun Building, and suddenly felt that if she concocted it in the same way, she might be able to lure Zhu Xuhou out.

"Liu Zhang—Liu Zhang—" An Su took a deep breath, and no matter what the etiquette was, he opened his throat and shouted in. It's a pity that this place is not like Zuichun Tower, although it is guarded, but with a spear in his hand, it is not easy to mess with.

"Bold! This is the Marquis of Zhuxu's Mansion, dare to be so noisy, looking for death! The guard really rushed towards Ansu angrily, and the spear bypassed in front of her, and Ansu quickly lowered his head, barely dodging this blow.

"Quickly arrest her, so that she will not make any loud noises to the Hou Ye!" The guard didn't hit at once, but he was easily dodged by a little kid, and he was annoyed and angry, so he had to make her suffer a little.

At this time, a group of people were patrolling the area, and when they heard the voice of the guard, they all rushed over. They are all trained soldiers, completely different from those servants in the princess's mansion, and they are also real swords and guns. An Su stayed in the deep palace, and he had never seen such a battle, it was good to hide alone, so many people came together, and they could only be captured.

But Zhou Yafu was not afraid that day, he used all the martial arts all over his body, easily dodged the attacks of those soldiers, and was distracted to take care of Ansu's safety. It's just that there are more and more soldiers coming from behind, and his physical strength is constantly being consumed, and he is slowly a little overwhelmed.

An Su hid left and right in the crowd, thinking that he couldn't help, and he couldn't make trouble for Zhou Yafu, but although his ideas were good, his actions were not satisfactory. A soldier's spear attacked head-on, and An Su went sideways to dodge, but a spear stabbed at the side, striking from both sides, it was really unavoidable.

Just as she was about to meet this shot, someone was hugged around her waist, An Su opened her eyes violently, and Liu Zhang had already taken her away from the spear in an instant. The people over there besieged only Zhou Yafu alone.

"Master Hou, that person is my friend, we have no malicious intent, please be merciful." Ansu hurriedly asked him to stop those people from fighting any further.

Liu Zhang stared at that side and shook his head: "Miss Shangguan is too worried, looking at the battle situation, you should go and persuade your friend to let him show mercy to my soldiers." ”

An Su followed his gaze with hindsight, and Zhou Yafu had already knocked down nearly half of the people, and the other half was also out of breath. And although Zhou Yafu received a few blows on his body, it was not a deep wound, so it seems that he did have the upper hand.

Liu Zhang looked at them with interest, he didn't mean to stop at all, and An Su was not in a hurry, he probably wanted to take a look at Zhou Yafu's ability.

When both sides were exhausted, Liu Zhang was finally willing to step forward. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers understood what he meant, and lined up and retreated. A few of them were seriously injured, but they were also supported by the people around them and limped down. Ansu looked at them like this, and compared with the previous swaggering appearance, it looked very funny.

"Zhou Yafu, how are you?" An Su walked over and squatted beside Zhou Yafu to ask, he seemed to be a little tired, but just looking at the injuries on his body, it didn't matter.

"The girl is worried, I'm fine." Zhou Yafu stood up on the ground and shook twice before standing firmly. He walked straight towards Liu Zhang, "The grass people visit the Hou Ye." ”

"Grass people? Do you recognize Ben Hou? Liu Zhang personally helped him up, his eyes were full of appreciation, and An Su felt that he had half succeeded in this trip.

"Hou Ye's British name, grass people often hear about it." Zhou Yafu took the opportunity to stand up, "Caomin asked the Shangguan girl to introduce him this time, just because he wanted to join Hou Ye's army, and he would not abandon Hou Ye to take him in." ”

"Yes, Master Hou. Zhou Yafu is very yearning for your prestige, and he wants to join the army but has no way, I see that he has some martial arts, so I want to help him meet the Hou Ye. Ansu was also on the side to help.

Liu Zhang had already seen that Zhou Yafu was good at kung fu in the fight, and naturally wanted to include him in his army, but it was shallow with just a good kung fu.

"You first welcome the Shangguan girl into the mansion and entertain the good students." Liu Zhang commanded the maid who followed behind him, and welcomed Zhou Yafu away.

Thinking that they might have to talk for a while, Ansu followed the maidservants into the house and waited. Thinking that if Zhou Yafu was in Liu Zhangjun, he would definitely not be turned away because he had no money and no power.

The maidservants of the Hou Mansion are much more casual than the princess's mansion, and the hospitality is quite respectful, but they don't know where to go after pouring tea and serving snacks. Maybe it's because Marquis Zhu Xuhou has always been informal, and even the servants in the house have done this. However, this saves a lot of expenses in the house, and the girl who serves tea and water can also have time to clean the courtyard, and the guests are more free to wait in the house.

Thinking like this, Ansu really couldn't sit still, took a piece of snack and finished eating, and got up to look at the decoration in the house. This Hou Mansion is very simple, and there are almost no decorations that can be said, which can be regarded as consistent with Zhu Xuhou's temperament. I heard that he was obsessed with the court and wanted to help the emperor regain power from the queen mother, so he naturally didn't have the heart to focus on these details.

There was nothing to see in the house, so Ansu turned to the yard. It's a pity that the yard is the same as the house, and it's even more desolate. An Su felt that at Zhu Xuhou's age, it stands to reason that there should be a lady to help him take care of his housework. That eldest lady Lu Xi of Lord Lu Lu's family, if she didn't have the intention of murdering him, she would be the right person to marry.

Walking around the courtyard, Ansu came to the entrance of a small path. This trail is very hidden, and if you don't look closely, you really can't see it, but An Su walked aimlessly, and found this trail by mistake.

Looking in along this path, it is all dark and dull woods, far away and there is no end in sight, and it seems that it has been out of the Hou Mansion, and I don't know where it is connected. An Su is really curious, but he also knows that in other people's homes, places that seem to be secrets should not be touched at will, so as not to cause any trouble. What's more, this is in the Hou Mansion, and the secret in it is not something that ordinary people can live after they know it.

Ansu turned to leave, but his hair was scraped on the branch, and the hairpin on his head fell into the path. This hairpin was given to her by Liu Le when she first arrived at the princess's mansion, and it is very important that she must not lose it. An Su hurriedly took two steps into the path, and was about to pick up the hairpin, but there was a voice next to her, it was the two maidservants who had brought her tea and water before.

In order not to be misunderstood by them, An Su took a few steps inside, just waiting for them to leave before coming out. But the two of them seemed to have nothing to do, so they stood under the tree next to them and chatted, talking about trivial things, and An Su really couldn't arouse his interest. It seems that they will not leave for a while, and they have praised the system of the Hou Mansion in their hearts before, but now they feel that this maid is really too idle.

Ansu's legs are sore from squatting, but if she stands up, it will attract their attention. After thinking about it in his heart, Ansu moved into the path, and after moving in, he stood up and moved his muscles, and it was also a good idea to come out after the two maids left.

But An Su really didn't expect that there was a different world in that path. From the outside, it looks like a shady area covered in a huge canopy, but the further you go inside, the more unusual it becomes. Ansu felt as if she was going underground, and after walking a distance, the voices of the two handmaidens were completely inaudible.

The walls of the ground have changed from dirt to copper, and it seems that you can only see it when you go to such a deep place, and the road ahead is rugged, and there are many forks in the road every few steps. Ansu was worried that he would not be able to go back after taking the wrong road, so he kept walking along the straight road, making a circular mark at each fork in the road.

Ansu walked for a long time, and after many forks in the road, she suddenly came back to her senses, she just wanted to come in and move her muscles. As soon as she thought of this, the idea of continuing to walk was swept away, and she turned back, thinking that the two maidservants had left, and she could return to the courtyard of the Hou Mansion smoothly.

But after retreating some distance, Ansu found that she could not go back to the same path she had been no longer able to walk back to. The marks she had just made appeared at the forks in the road, as if they had been copied on every road. An Su was a little flustered in her heart, she crouched down to carefully examine the marks, no, some of them were not drawn by her, but she couldn't completely tell which ones they were. In other words, she's trapped here.

An Su couldn't think of a good way to escape, so he could only walk aimlessly while he still had the strength, hoping to see a glimmer of light or hear some sounds.

After walking for a while, Ansu finally stopped those forks in the road in front of him, and a room appeared not far ahead. Ansu slowly approached the room, which had only one door frame, and there was no door on the frame, so she could walk in directly.

It's just that although this room is large, there is nothing, and when I go to the end, I find that there is a small room connected to the room. Ansu continued to walk into the small room, just like Fang Cai, there was a door in the small room, and when he opened the door and continued to go inside, a large fork in the road was revealed in front of him.

An Su was really helpless, she didn't have much strength anymore, she could only struggle forward, and she didn't know what she stepped on as she walked, she tilted her body and put her hand on the wall before she could barely stand firmly. But the sound was so strange that it sounded like the wall was hollow. Ansu raised his hand and knocked twice, and it was true.

After looking around the wall, Ansu found a button that looked like a mechanism. The button was embedded in the wall, and when Ansu reached out and pressed it, a door slowly moved open, and it was pitch black inside, and it was impossible to see what was there.

Anyway, he was already trapped here, but he was not afraid of being trapped deeper, so An Su stepped in without hesitation. As soon as she stepped in, the candles inside were lit up, and An Su saw clearly that there were exactly the same bronze mirrors around her, densely placed, and her figure was printed in each mirror, which looked a little terrifying.

An Su cautiously avoided the mirror and walked in, but after taking a few steps, she felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that she was not the only one who was printed in the mirror. She paused for a moment, pretending not to notice anything, but she kept an eye in the mirror, and sure enough, there was a man dressed in black.

Ansu slowly walked around the mirror, took a candle flame from the wall, and pointed it at the mirror with the light, and the man really reached out to block his eyes. An Su took this opportunity to push down all the mirrors around him, but fortunately, the mirrors were placed very close together, and one fell to the ground. The room suddenly became empty, and An Su was able to see the face of the man in black clearly.

"It's you!" Ansu exclaimed in surprise at the man.
