Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Xiao Chumo scattered the soldiers he brought in various courtyards of this mansion. Even outside the wall, people were sent to hide in the dark and wait.

Lin Wei had been following him, watching his movements, knowing that he was going to lay a net. So he proposed that the men at the gate of the house be replaced by soldiers from the army.

It's not because he relies too much on the manpower brought by Xiao Chumo. It's just that if the group of guards, who had already been frightened, stayed here, he was really worried that it would ruin the latter's plan.

Xiao Chumo could see that Lin Wei's move was not because of his own selfishness, so he didn't say much. Exactly before that, these guards had been guarding the door for several days, so it would be better for them to go down and rest.

The soldiers who came out of the barracks were more tenacious than ordinary people, both physically and mentally. The most important thing is that this group of people was trained by Xiao Chumo himself, and they are very loyal to their generals.

Therefore, even after learning that they were going to enter the "ghost house" that had recently caused a lot of uproar, none of them proposed to quit. All of them were arranged by Xiao Chumo and stayed in their respective positions.

After arranging everything, Xiao Chumo and Lin Wei returned to the hut where they had settled before, and told the latter about the recent rumors in Kyoto.

"Lord Hayashi is personally guarding here to investigate the haunted mansion, is there some neglect on the Kyoto side?"

Lin Wei knew that he was asking why he didn't send someone to suppress the rumors directly, so he quickly explained: "Xia Guan also thought about suppressing the rumors before, but I don't know why, every time it has little effect. That's why I stayed here directly, thinking of investigating the source of the rumors first. ”

This is not a lie, he did send someone to do it. But as if someone was secretly deliberately trying to make a big deal about it, no matter how it was suppressed, the rumors still intensified.

After hearing Lin Wei's words, Xiao Chumo couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. But now that the other person is not in Kyoto, there is no way to arrange for someone to investigate, so I have to put this aside for the time being.

Everything has been prepared, and now we are waiting for the so-called "dressing girl" to appear. Xiao Chumo stood in front of the door of the hut, staring at the mountains in the distance a little distracted.

In the words he originally asked Chu Lu to bring to Yu Panxi, he said that he would go back today. It's just that he didn't expect that Lin Wei didn't have a clue at all, as if he was in a stalemate.

Moreover, according to what Lin Wei said before, the shadow of the midnight grooming does not appear every night, and if he can't wait tonight, I don't know how long he will stay here.

"General, it's already dark, and the people below have made some food with vegetables from the vegetable field behind the house, can you eat some first?"

Lin Wei watched Xiao Chumo stay outside the house for a long time, and although he didn't want to disturb him, he still came out and shouted.

After checking the situation on the other side of the haunted mansion, the general in front of him began to arrange manpower, and it was not until the afternoon that he finally stopped. Although he knows that these side dishes may not be to his liking, he can't just make others hungry, right?

In fact, Xiao Chumo didn't have any appetite. You know, the food on the battlefield can fill your stomach, who will worry about whether it is delicious or not.

However, he didn't know that his uncritical attitude towards everything fell into Lin Wei's eyes, which made the latter admire a little more in his heart. After all, no one in a high position in the court can accept such a humble thing after enjoying the fine clothes and food.

Night soon fell.

Because he wasn't sure if the weird shadow would appear, Xiao Chumo didn't go to the mansion to guard it personally, but sat in the house and occasionally chatted with Lin Wei.

Seeing that a long time has passed, it is almost the second half of the night, but there is no movement from the side of the house.

Just when Lin Wei thought that the woman who was dressing up would not appear tonight, suddenly a soldier knocked on the door and walked in, looking a little nervous: "General, Lord Lin, that shadow has appeared!" ”

Witnessing such a strange scene, I couldn't help but feel a little shocked and nervous in my heart when I surrounded these soldiers who fought from the battlefield.

When Xiao Chumo and Lin Wei heard the news, they both changed their smiles when they were chatting and changed their faces with serious looks. I invariably said in my heart: It's finally here!

The two of them did not hesitate too much, immediately got up from the stool, and followed the little soldier who had come to report the news towards the side of the house.

The hut happened to be very close to the abandoned mansion itself, and in a few moments the group had already entered the main courtyard where they had been during the day.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xiao Chumo saw the main house lit by candlelight and the clear figure reflected in the window.

Such an obvious scene, Lin Wei naturally saw it. It's just that unlike the previous night, when he saw it again at this time, not only did he not feel the slightest fear in his heart, but he also felt a little ridiculous and angry. This is angry, of course, he is angry that he will be frightened by such a trick.

During the day, after Xiao Chumo's prompting, he had already discovered that something was wrong with this "female ghost". Although I really want to arrest this person who pretends to be a ghost and teach him a good lesson. But the former didn't speak, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Do you want to go in now?

Lin Wei couldn't speak, so he had to ask Xiao Chumo with his eyes.

The latter didn't squeak, but nodded directly, and took the lead towards the main house with the door closed.

"Bang!"

The moment the door was kicked open by Xiao Chumo, the candlelight in the house was extinguished in an instant, just like when Lin Wei came in that day. But this time, the latter did not panic at all, and when he saw this situation, he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, keep all the exits around, and not a single mouse can be released!" ”

He deliberately raised his voice when he said this, and in such a remote place, the night was already very quiet. After an order was given, the soldiers who had been arranged by Xiao Chumo in various parts of the mansion during the day rushed out in an instant, guarding the nearest exit from each other.

These things happen only for a very short period of time. But when the soldiers outside came in with lit torches and lit only half of the candles in the room, there was not even half a shadow in the room.

At first glance, the furnishings in the room seemed to be the same as what they saw during the day, but Xiao Chumo was staring at the dresser where the shadow had just appeared, and frowned a little.

Seeing this, Lin Wei hurriedly ordered a few soldiers who came in behind him, asking them to immediately lead people to search this mansion carefully. If you find any strange figure, just take it down.

Those soldiers looked at each other at his words, obviously not understanding Lin Wei's words. Aren't they here to investigate the haunted house, could there be someone else here?
