Chapter 17: Night Exploration of the Li Mansion
With a "boom", a bolt of lightning pierced the sky.
The sound of dripping came to my ears, and not long after, the rain poured down from the sky.
Late at night, it was pouring rain.
Chen Xiao stood alone on the eaves and looked up, feeling the quiet rainy night that was desolate to the bone.
It has been a week since crossing to the Yuntian Continent, and this is the first time it has rained. In the past seven days, Chen Xiao escaped death again and again, feeling the cruelty of this world.
After embarking on the road of no return to escape, Chen Xiao has no choice but to overcome obstacles and break out of his own world.
"It's time to go, the weather, to be honest, I don't like it, but it's still kind of useful. ”
In this kind of weather, the guards of the Li Mansion will definitely be a little lax, and who wants to be drenched in soup under the heavy rain! At this time, it will be easier than usual to enter the mansion.
On the west side of the wall, a dark shadow tumbled down.
The darkness gave the best shelter, and the guards who sheltered from the rain in the verandah were unaware of it.
After breaking into the Li Mansion, Chen Xiao was a little confused.
Who knows where the secret passage is! I don't know the layout of the mansion, if I break into a certain ancestor's room, it will definitely be a GG situation, and if I accidentally break into a certain lady's boudoir, it will also cause chaos.
"According to the layout of the courtyard, this side should be a wing, that side is the living room, and this side is mostly a study, so where should I start?"
The layout of the courtyards in the Yuntian Continent basically follows the rules of the old and the young, and there are different rules inside and outside, thus forming a huge space where the courtyards are deep layer after layer, and the courtyards are balanced and symmetrical.
Just thinking like this, a sneaky figure came into view, and Chen Xiao hurriedly hid in the dark.
"Hmm, who is this person? Could it be that like me, he discovered Li Changyang's secret and came here to explore the secret way?"
As soon as the drunken immortals lived, everyone went back to their own homes. But who can understand the thoughts of these old foxes? Chen Xiao can spy on the strangeness, and the rest of them are not unavoidable.
Therefore, this person's identity is suspicious, and he may not be from the Li family.
"It would be nice if someone found the way for me!"
Either way, just keep track of him and see what his purpose is.
Judging by the person's route of travel, it should be the backyard. Strangely, I didn't meet a single guard along the way.
"No, this person is familiar with the layout of the Li Mansion, and he is definitely not an outsider, isn't he bought by that group of old guys?"
After all, the guards and the family members are outsiders, and it is impossible for them to know about the existence of the secret passage, but these people have served the Li Mansion for a few months or decades, and they are extremely familiar with the layout of the Li Mansion, not to mention, they will also know many secrets in the mansion.
It is actually not difficult to buy such a person, as long as you promise benefits and threaten your family, you will basically compromise. Moreover, at this critical moment of survival, once the Li Mansion was told that there was a secret way out of the city, in order to survive, there was no need to force it.
Chen Xiao has observed the aura of this person, he is in his thirties, Ning Yuan Realm is cultivated, and he is dressed like a house guard, just like himself.
What is certain is that this person definitely has an ulterior secret.
There were no obstacles along the way, and Chen Xiao was also happy.
Walking to a room in the backyard, the man looked around and tapped lightly on the ring board under the door.
There was not a glimmer of light in the room, and it was obvious that the owner had fallen asleep, and his knock on the door was enough to prove that he had made an agreement with the people inside.
"It's strange, it should be the concubine room of the Li Mansion living here! Look at his appearance, it is definitely not an investigation or a thief's behavior, but like fornication. ”
In these big families, fornication is hard to imagine, and once discovered, it must be a tragic death on the spot.
But then I think about it, in this environment of three wives and four concubines, once you are left out in the cold, it is no different from being in the cold palace, and it is not uncommon for such a thing to occur.
"The answer will be revealed soon, if it is really an affair, after grasping this handle, the information of the Li Mansion will be at your fingertips. ”
In order not to startle the snake, no one in the Li Mansion can have an accident, Chen Xiao has to go quietly, and no one can be allowed to know.
After arriving at a safe place, let someone pass a word to Mu Qingqing, saying that he had left the city, and the catastrophe of the city slaughter could be resolved.
As for how to get out of the city, then the Li family can only be sacrificed, and the secret passage is shaken out, and Mu Qingqing will know the answer. And she will also have a step to attribute all this to the Li family.
People are selfish, and since the Li family is unwilling to confess the secret way, they must have the consciousness to bear the anger.
The door opened quietly, without making a sound, and a woman poked her head out, looked around, and immediately beckoned the man in.
It can be seen that this woman has been waiting for a long time. The action is capable, without a hint of procrastination, and it is by no means the first time.
As the man entered, the door closed quietly.
Inside, there were still no candles.
Chen Xiao smiled silently, he already had a conjecture in his heart, of course, all this had to be confirmed to know.
Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Xiao approached the door directly and eavesdropped outside.
The voice was very soft, but Chen Xiao heard it clearly.
From the conversation between the two, it was learned that the man's name was Jin Jie, who was the captain of the Li Mansion's guard and a distant relative of the older generation of the Li family. The woman is Li Changyang's concubine, named Yang Qing.
Yang Qing looked resentful: "I don't know what tricks the old hoof used, he fascinated the old man, but it hurt me!"
"Baby, isn't there still me? What is that old thing like me? Are you sure he won't come over tonight?"
Yang Qingwan smiled: "Coward, the master went to the big room tonight, and he definitely won't come to me." But you still have to be careful, if people know, the two of us will definitely die, you are good at everything, but you don't have the status and strength of the master, people have to be afraid every time. ”
"Who knows what will happen in three days, it's better to have fun in time. ”
With that, Ginger pounced.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Xiao picked the bolt of the door with the tip of his sword, and after covering the door, he put the sword on Jin Jie's neck.
Both of them were taken aback, but they did not dare to shout, they knew their situation.
Hurriedly turned around, only to see a man holding a sword dressed as a guard, but they had never seen it.
For a while, there were many doubts.
At this time, Chen Xiao spoke: "It's really funny, there is such a thing as fornication in the Li Mansion." Don't worry, I'm not interested in your business. ”
After giving the two of them a reassuring pill, Chen Xiao released his breath.
The man was quite surprised: "Spirit Sea Realm?"
He was only a cultivator in the Ning Yuan Realm, and after learning the strength of the other party, he immediately gave up resisting.
Grace and power are combined, but that's it.
The two of them didn't know Chen Xiao's identity, let alone his intentions, and judging from what they said just now, they were definitely not from the Li family.
It can be inferred from this that Chen Xiao must have a plan and sneaked into the Li Mansion late at night, like a thief. In other words, as long as his conditions are met, today's events may have a turning point.
Jin Jie took a deep breath and looked at Chen Xiao with some horror: "What do you want?"
