Lung Hing Street runs across Lu Province, and there is a shop called Zangxiang Pavilion on the street, which is a shop that sells high-end rouge.

Zhu Chuba and Zhang Ying followed these sneaky nightcrawlers all the way to Longxing Street, which was empty at night, and the shops on the street were closed. Several nightcrawlers walked straight to the door of the Incense Pavilion. As if knowing that someone was visiting, the door suddenly opened, revealing the light of the candles in the store. Several nightcrawlers looked around cautiously, and then walked into the Tibetan Incense Pavilion one after another. The candlelight was cut off by the heavy gate, and only the cold moonlight remained on Longxing Street.

"Brother Zhu?" Zhang Ying tilted her head and glanced at Zhu Chuba.

"Wait for me here, I'll come when I go." Zhu Chuba carefully observed the surrounding environment, flew close to the Zangxiang Pavilion, and then turned sideways into a pitch-black alley next to him.

A moment later, Zhu Chuba returned to Zhang Ying's side.

"You can go in there, come with me."

Zhang Ying grabbed Zhu Chuba, who wanted to leave again, and her eyebrows furrowed, "Brother Zhu, this is the Lu Mansion, we don't need to inform the people of the Lu family first?" ”

Zhu Chuba stopped, turned his head to look east, and saw Longxing Street, which had no end in sight in the dark night, lying in front of the two. He thought for a moment and said, "It's too late. The West Chamber, which is already sparsely populated on weekdays, takes a long time to get to the Lu family's residence from here, and by the time we informed the Lu family's people, these night walkers of unknown origin had already run away. ”

Zhang Ying was still not at ease, "But we are outsiders after all, so it's not good to meddle in the affairs of the Lu Mansion." ”

Zhu Chuba turned to look at Zhang Ying, who exuded a hazy beauty in the moonlight. Zhu Chuba gently patted Zhang Ying's forehead and said with a smile: "Don't you want to gain the favor of the Lu family?" Perhaps, this is an opportunity? ”

Zhang Ying was stunned and seemed to be moved. Although Zhang Shicheng has the support of Wu Xing Shen behind him, what he wants to do is to compete for the world's major events after all, and with one more strong supporter, the chance of success will always be greater.

Zhu Chuba turned his head, "Don't hesitate any longer, let's go." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Ying nodded and followed Zhu Chuba's figure.

The storefront of the Zangxiang Pavilion is not large, but there is a large area connected to the back of the storefront, which looks like a place where the owner and staff are staying. The door of the Tibetan Incense Pavilion was closed, and no matter how powerful Zhu Chuba was, he couldn't do it without alarming anyone to sneak in. But the residential area behind is different, it is surrounded by walls. Although the wall is high, it is difficult for people like Zhu Chuba and Zhang Ying to be superb.

The two sneaked in front of the wall, and with the help of the wall on the other side, they jumped into the residential area behind the Tibetan Incense Pavilion.

Behind the fence is a small courtyard, which is very delicate and full of flowers. Where Zhu Chuba and Zhang Ying landed, there was a peach forest. As soon as the two of them landed, they saw a group of people walking in front of the courtyard, led by a woman in a green dress who looked like a maidservant, followed by several nightcrawlers from before.

The two hurriedly squatted down and hid their bodies under the cover of the peach forest.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please go this way, Madame has been waiting in the inner compartment for a long time."

The maid in the green dress led the nightkin forward, and when she reached the middle of the courtyard, she groped for a moment at the trunk of a large tree that was thick with three people hugging each other.

In the silence of the night, there was a piercing sound, and a layer of dust rose from the open space in the courtyard, and the stone slabs cracked in response, and a passage appeared on the ground out of thin air. Several Nightcrawlers, led by the Maid in the Green Dress, gradually disappeared to the ground.

Silence returned to the courtyard, the shrill sound of the machine again, and the passage in the open space slowly closed.

Zhu Chuba and Zhang Ying hid in the peach forest motionless, and after a long time, the two got up and walked to the big tree where the maid stayed before.

"The mechanism should be hidden in this tree." Zhang Ying said in a low voice.

Zhu Chuba nodded, and stretched out his hand to carefully examine the direction where the maid had just groped. Sure enough, there was a piece of uneven bark on the trunk that could be peeled off, and Zhu Chuba pulled off the square bark with all his might, and a neat square hole came into view.

"That's it." Zhu Chuba smiled.

Another raised gray stone block in the square cavity, Zhu Chuba tried to rotate, the familiar sound of the machine sounded again, and the passage reappeared in the open space in the courtyard.

The two glanced at each other, Zhu Chuba nodded, and walked in first, Zhang Ying followed closely behind Zhu Chuba, and also disappeared on the ground.

......

The so-called inner compartment is a secret room hidden underground behind the Tibetan Incense Pavilion. The underground chamber is silent and empty, and the slightest noise will make it loud. Fortunately, there was only one underground secret passage, and Zhu Chuba and Zhang Ying tiptoed through the underground secret passage and came to a closed stone gate and stopped. The stone door was heavy, but it couldn't close all the sounds inside the door, and there was still a subtle sound of conversation that came into the ears of the two of them through the stone door.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the concubine has been waiting for a long time."

It's a pleasant female voice.

"Madam, time is pressing, let's get to the point."

It's a rough male voice, probably one of the Nightcrawlers.

"Since this is the case, the concubine will speak bluntly."

The female voice paused for a moment, presumably to fetch something.

"These two small bottles, please hide them. Whether my lord can win the power of the Lu family depends on this little thing. ”

"What should I do?" The male voice asked.

"Just apply the contents of this red bottle before shaking hands, but adults have to be careful, remember to apply a layer of green bottle plaster before applying the red bottle potion, otherwise several adults will be like those masters, and they will die." The female voice chuckled softly.

Madame laughed, this matter has its own sense of proportion. It's just that Master Lu promised me a ......"

The girl laughed, the laughter was rampant, and the original pleasant feeling was no longer restored, "Don't worry, adults." The evidence of the right prime minister's guilt against the adult, the lord has already prepared. As long as the adults do a good job of this matter, the lord will have the power of the Lu family. The position of the right prime minister, I, the Lu family, will fully support my lordship. ”

"It was better to do so." The male voice snorted softly.

Outside the stone gate, the more Zhu Chuba and Zhang Ying listened, the more frightened they became. The news revealed by the conversation in Shimen is too palpitating, if they are allowed to succeed, the power of the Fan Yang Lu clan will have to be reshuffled.

"Let's go, let's get out of here." Zhu Chuba's expression was serious, and he took Zhang Ying's hand and stepped back.

Zhang Ying also knew that the stakes were high, and followed Zhu Chuba's footsteps and returned along the same road.

A few people in Shimen didn't know that their big plan had been listened to word by word by the two black stickers who came to Fan Yang for the first time.

......

West Wing Room, Zhu Chu Eight Rooms.

There was no one to serve in Zhu Chu's eighth room, only him and Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying put the soft sword on the table, poured a glass of water in shock, and poured it into the roar, "I'm afraid we heard something terrible." ”

Zhu Chuba's face was also solemn, "Yes." It should be the Lu family's struggle for power, which room of the lord colluded with the officials of the court to meet the ceremony, intending to poison the lord of the other rooms at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Lu. ”

The two were silent, originally only wanting to catch a few intruders with unknown intentions for the Lu family, but they never thought that they would be involved in the struggle for power in this thousand-year-old family.

As if you didn't hear it, don't you care about it?

Zhu Chuba and Zhang Ying glanced at each other, but saw the divine light in their eyes.

No, to put it another way, isn't this a great opportunity to get Lu's full support?

It's just that there is still a lot of planning and planning that needs to be done. For example, who is the adult who can take his place after the right prime minister falls......

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the night wind of the Lu family's old house was whistling. No matter what the outcome of this birthday banquet is, there will be an unprecedented storm in the Lu Clan's mansion......
