Chapter 172 Short Sword and Hidden Arrow Night Visit to Gaofu (2)
And clothes like this, as long as those black spots will be made, because these people will not reveal their address, but they will reveal their identities, and when they meet, they will cover their faces.
After Li Yan left the Tang Mansion in his night clothes, he saw a person not far away in his sight. This person was also dressed in a black night suit, and after Li Yan came out, he appeared in Li Yan's sight, this person was Chen Meng.
The two agreed to meet at the end of the first watch. And Chen Meng always had to wait for Li Yan to come out a quarter of an hour in advance.
And in order not to let those who pass by here see themselves wearing a night suit, they are all waiting in a dark corner. Therefore, those people who passed by Chen Meng couldn't find out at all that there was actually a person in the place where they had just walked.
If some people find out, or know, no one knows if they will scare people to death, or be stupid or crazy.
Li Yan came to Chen Meng's side, glanced around and said, "Let's go around the Gaofu first to step on the idea to see if there is anything abnormal, or someone is on guard, if not, we will climb over the wall and go in." ”
"Well, that's exactly what I mean." When Chen Meng heard Li Yan's words, he nodded without an opinion.
Chen Meng's thoughts are the same as Li Yan's, and he also wants to step on it first, investigate and investigate, and see if there is anything.
After all, a cunning person like Gao Qiang, at such a very moment, a very critical time, no matter what he does, is very careful, the purpose is not to show a trace of flaws.
You must know that what Gao Qiang did was to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, if this was discovered, it would be a capital crime if he was caught, and it would still be a capital crime, and it would still be a punishment for several clans. So for his own safety, he will be careful, and be careful.
He didn't want to be exposed at the end, everything he did fell short, and all the planning and planning were all in vain.
Both of them had the same opinion, so they both went in the direction of Gaofu. The roads that the two of them took to Gaofu were places with fewer people, more remote places, and both of them went to dark places.
Bi Jing basically makes it difficult for people to fall asleep because of the hot weather, so since he can't fall asleep, it is better to come out, make an appointment with his friends, prepare a pot of good wine, talk and laugh together, and talk about the world.
However, at the end of the first watch and the beginning of the second watch, there were very few people. After all, when you go out to drink, chat, go shopping, or something, there is nothing else to play.
And the food stalls during the day, after dark, are already closed, so it is not easy to eat a little snack or something. Since there is nothing to play, when it cools down, they all go back to their own homes and rooms one by one.
After all, this is an era of lack of entertainment facilities, and basically there is nothing else except piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, there is another place that can be entertained, and that is the Qinglou, and a place like the Qinglou does laughter and skin business.
It is regarded as an indecent place and a place of immorality by those who feel good about themselves and clean themselves. Therefore, elegant people will not go to such a place. And women can't go to such a place, if they go and are known, they don't want to marry in the future.
After walking for some time, the two came to the wall of Gaofu Mansion. Chen Meng glanced at Li Yan, took out a dagger from his arms, handed it to Li Yan and said, "This is the dagger you asked me to bring." ”
Li Yan saw Chen Meng handing him the dagger, but the dagger looked up and down, this dagger was a short sword. This short sword is about a little more than a foot long and a little more than four inches wide, and this is the scabbard of the short sword hilt.
Li Yan took the hilt of the short sword, and pulled it slightly, revealing a few inches of the sword body, the sword body emitted a faint cold light under the dim light, looking at the blade of the short sword, it was also extremely sharp.
When Chen Meng looked at the short sword by Li Yan, he said, "This short sword, I brought it from the capital, has not been used yet. The dagger was made by the finest craftsmen and was extremely sharp. Although it is said that it cannot be done to induce hair breaking, it is more than enough for self-defense. And the quality is also very good"
After Li Yan looked at it, he nodded with satisfaction, and when he heard what Chen Meng said, he put the dagger into his arms and said, "Well, that's enough, as long as it's killing people." ”
Chen Meng heard that Li Yan had no opinion, smiled slightly, and went to the next strangely shaped thing from his wrist, the whole body was made of fine iron, handed it to Li Yan and said:
"This is a sleeve arrow, and it is also used for self-defense, as long as you encounter an invincible person, during the period when he is not paying attention, or close, in a surprise, launch this sleeve arrow, so that you will turn defeat into victory and protect yourself."
"And this sleeve arrow can fire four short arrows at a time, and its range is about fifteen meters, but the effective distance is only about ten meters, as long as it exceeds this range, the power is greatly reduced, and the accuracy is also a lot worse."
"But if you want to be more powerful, you have to launch at a distance of two or three meters, even if this person is powerful, he will be hit, as long as he is hit, rubbing a little skin, it is difficult for this person not to die." When Chen Meng said this, he smiled sadly, his smile was very sinister and treacherous.
Li Yan took Chen Meng and handed him the sleeve arrow, he didn't care about Chen Meng's expression, but heard that as long as he rubbed a little skin, he would die, and he didn't understand, so he looked at Chen Meng and wanted to know what was going on.
Chen Meng saw that Li Yan didn't understand, and said with a smile: "On the tip of this arrow, it is a person who is coated with poison, as long as he is grazed by the arrow, his whole body will be weak for a while, and if there is no antidote within an hour, he will die." ”
Chen Meng said this, handed Li Yan a porcelain bottle and said, "This is the antidote." ”
When Li Yan heard Chen Meng's words, he saw the porcelain vase that Chen Meng handed him, and then put it in his arms. Although I understand what the reason is, I am a little worried in my heart, what if I am injured by mistake?
As soon as he thought of this, he took the arrow and looked at it. And Chen Meng saw Li Yan like this, as if he knew what Li Yan was worried about, and said with a smile:
"This boy doesn't have to worry about whether he will be injured by mistake, these four sleeve arrows are all inside the arrow tube, and they are not exposed to the outside, in order to prevent self-injury. And its firing device also has a safety bolt, in order to accidentally touch the switch, and only fire the arrow to hurt people. ”
"So as long as it's in a safe environment, as long as the son doesn't pull out the safety bolt, it's out of safety. When facing the enemy, as long as you pull the safety bolt and gently press the switch at the enemy, the arrow will be fired. ”
Chen Mengtu explained that Li Yan was also looking at what Chen Meng said, and sure enough, he saw that it was fixed by something at the switch, and after looking at it carefully, Li Yan saw that there was no problem, so he put the sleeve arrow on his wrist.
After bringing it, he looked at Chen Meng and asked shamelessly, "Do you still have such a thing?" If there is, give me another one, not just one hand. ”
When Chen Meng heard what Li Yan said, he was so arrogant and justified that people couldn't refute it, and he was immediately speechless, just now he still looked worried, and now he actually asked himself if he still wanted it, he had never seen shameless and shameless, he had never seen such a shameless face.
Ran still nodded directly and said: "When this thing came, I brought six, because I was afraid of damage, so I didn't change it." If Childe wants it, he will have someone bring it to Childe tomorrow morning, and he will add some arrows. ”
Since Chen Meng promised to give Li Yan another sleeve arrow, he would simply be a good person to the end and send some arrows, otherwise when the arrows are only used up, the sleeve arrow can only be a launcher, but without a weapon, it is completely an empty shell, and it is useless to keep it, and it is a pity to abandon it.
When Li Yan heard Chen Meng's words, he was in a good mood, nodded with satisfaction, and agreed with this approach.
After Li Yan packed up the hidden arrows and short swords given by Chen Meng, the two of them took advantage of the darkness of the night to check around the Gao Mansion, and when they saw that there were no suspicious people, and after seeing anything suspicious, both of them climbed over the wall and entered the Gao Mansion together.
After entering the Gao Mansion, both of them were amazed by the scene inside. Because they went in, a fragrance came directly from the pavement. And what appeared in front of them was a large garden, in which many rare and precious exotic flowers and plants were planted, and in addition to flowers and plants, there were also many precious trees.
At this time, the exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard are still in contention, but because it is night at this time, the flowers and plants that bloom during the day are also closed, but the flowers and plants that bloom at night are not a few, and there are at least 20 kinds of species.
There are even more flowers that bloom in the sky. Li Yan took a general look and made a rough estimate, to say the least, there are hundreds of kinds. This made Li Yan and Chen Meng sigh greatly when they saw this.
Mainly sighing that this is strong and rich, there were originally a lot of flowers and plants, which were all past the flowering period at this time, but now they are still in contention, which requires a lot of money to achieve such luxury.
In addition to maintaining the flowering period of these flowers, even the flowers and plants in this yard are also very valuable. Whether it's common or uncommon, the sheer variety of them is staggering.
Li Yan has seen the types of flowers and plants in the Tang Mansion, if he remembers correctly, plus the flowers that bloom at night, there are less than forty species, and the number of flowers and plants of each is not very large. And the number of each variety here is also tenth.
If this were for Tang Xiu's brothers and sisters, Wen Jing's sisters and brothers, Wang Yan and others to see it, they would be afraid that their jaws would fall in shock.
