One hundred and ninety-seven, the eldest princess took refuge in the mansion
Hu Jian and dozens of guards under him gathered together in order to come over, although those guards were well-trained, they still could not withstand the impact of Xiong Da. Xiong Da is also a very shrewd person, seeing the flaws of these guards, and also seeing that the situation of the large number of people is beneficial to him at this time, so he took advantage of the opportunity of Yan Cang's frequent restrictions to attack the guards who came over.
Although there are many guards, they can catch some little robbers who steal chickens and dogs, and when they encounter a master like Xiong Da, they will break through the defense line for him after a while, and escape without a trace.
At this time, Hu Jiancai woke up like a dream, knowing that the situation just now was that there were too many people and caused an unfavorable situation, and in the face of his self-defeating, he said to Yan Cang with apologies: "Yan Daxia, because I couldn't wait for you to send a signal for a long time, I thought that you were in some trouble and came out to arrest him, but who knew that it gave Xiong Da a chance to take advantage of." ”
Yan Cang sighed and said: "It's okay, Master Hu, it's Xiong's great martial arts that are too powerful, I fought with him for more than a hundred rounds, but I couldn't get the upper hand, and he was also bent on escaping, so I gave him an escape." ”
"In this way, I ordered my subordinates to seal the exit from Weicheng to the outside, and report as soon as there is news, you are still temporarily living in the county government these days, and take us to investigate in detail."
Yan Cang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay, I can also help with the reconnaissance." ”
"With Yan Daxia's help, it is estimated that Xiong Da is also difficult to fly."
In this way, Yan Cang returned to the county government with Hu Jian. Weicheng is the capital of the Qin Dynasty in the old days, the north is against the mountain, the south is the confluence of the Wei River and the Jing River, here is surrounded by water on three sides, one side is against the mountain, it is really an old city with beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery.
On both sides of the Wei River, there are also dense dwellings, bluestone paths, willows, and exquisite huts, just like a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.
It's true: Weicheng is light and dusty in the rain, and the guest house is green and willowy.
Yan Cang and Hu Jianxin were walking on the edge of the Wei River, chatting about how to search for Xiong Da as they walked, and suddenly, a majestic mansion in the distance came into Yan Cang's eyes. I saw that the mansion was very deep, extending from the Wei River to the north, compared with the low buildings next to it, it was really much magnificent.
"Whose house is this?"
Yan Cang felt that this should be the house of a big family, so he asked curiously, Hu Jian hurriedly said: "Yan Daxia, you often come to Weicheng and don't know whose courtyard it is, just look at this style, you know that this is the mansion of the eldest princess." ”
"The Eldest Princess's Mansion?" Yan Cang thought about it for a while, and finally understood, and said with a smile: "The eldest princess is Weicheng, and it is estimated that she rarely comes to live here." ”
"I used to be here a lot, and now I'm the master of the harem, and of course I don't live here; In the past few years, they have rarely been here, but it is very strange that during this time, Ding Wenxin, the son of the eldest princess, often came over, and heard from his subordinates that there are many people in and out of the eldest princess's mansion these days, and they are not ordinary people looking at the costumes. ”
Yan Cang began to be a little alert, and hurriedly asked, "Can you guess who they are?" ”
"Listening to the reports of his subordinates, they should be people who are either rich or noble, they are all rich in money, and they are very conspicuous."
"It seems that Ding Wenxin should make a big move, I think, Xiong Da will not hide in the eldest princess's mansion."
Hu Jian felt that what Yan Cang said made some sense, but he was also helpless, because it was the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and he was also beyond the reach of the whip, so he sighed: "If it is hidden inside, then we can't do anything about him, we don't dare to break into the Eldest Princess's Mansion, if I can't find it when I go in, my life may not be guaranteed." ”
Yan Cang also felt that what Hu Jian said was right, he only had a Weicheng order, how could he dare to break into the eldest princess's mansion, and besides, the eldest princess is now the master of the harem, even the emperor has to respect her, as long as she speaks out, your little Weicheng order will be shattered. So Yan Cang had his own idea, and hurriedly said: "Master Hu, I have an uninvited request, let me solve it by myself, I plan to sneak into the eldest princess's mansion tonight, secretly search for whether Xiong Da is inside, and then come to plan, it is best to lure him out, and we will solve him outside." ”
Hu Jian thought for a moment, thinking that the most powerful light skill today is Yancang, it is most suitable for him to sneak into the Eldest Princess's Mansion to search, and he feels that the current situation Yancang's plan is also feasible, so he said: "It's okay, it's best not to act rashly before you figure it out, I have a person under me who is familiar with the terrain in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, I called him over and told you the layout of the mansion clearly, so that you can search." ”
Yan Cang said with a smile: "This is very good, quickly call him to come and draw the layout of the eldest princess's mansion." ”
It was already evening, Yan Cang had already changed into a night suit, carrying the layout map of the eldest princess's mansion in his arms, and quietly came to the eldest princess's mansion on the edge of the Wei River.
The eldest princess's mansion is close to the Wei River, surrounded by pink walls outside the mansion, and green willows hang around. The powder wall is very high, ordinary people can't climb up, Yancang climbed up in the northwest corner with superb light skills.
The northwest corner is close to the hillside, which is the backyard of the mansion, which is relatively secluded, so Yancang chose to climb up here to the safest. Soon they went up to the roof, and the tiles on the roof were as dense as fish scales, thick and heavy, and Yan Cang felt that he was walking on the ground as if he were walking on the ground, and there was no sound at all.
The verandah of the mansion is copied on all sides, the courtyard is connected with the road, the mountains and stones are embellished, the whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, the garden is splendid, clear and exquisite.
Yan Cang walked along the roof, and came to the atrium of the mansion unconsciously. The backyard of the mansion seems to be very quiet, there is no light at all, it is dark, so Yancang is not afraid of someone finding out, and he walks quickly. But in the atrium, it is different, it is brightly lit, and the verandah wings are all servants active, although it is not very lively, but it also feels like a reception.
Yan Cang felt strange, it was already the middle of the day, why were there so many people.
So I went to the roof of the middle hall and looked down, and there were many lights around the hall, and they were very bright, and there were seven or eight people sitting in it, as if they were talking about something. Yan Cang leaned down to look clearly, only to see Xiong Daye, in the middle sat a young man in his twenties who looked very thin and graceful, at this time he saw several servants bring in a jar of wine, one of the servants handed the full wine bowl to the young man, and then said respectfully: "Childe, please use it slowly!" ”
Yan Cang understood that this young man was the owner here, Ding Wenxin, the son of the eldest princess.
Ding Wenxin is meeting guests at home, so why are he still discussing things so late, what are the important things being discussed? And who are these people?
Yan Cang thought that if he went down to arrest Xiong Da at this time, he would definitely startle the snake, and the consequences would be unimaginable, so it was better to listen to what they were talking about first, so he decided to sit quietly on the roof and listen to it.
