After Jian Zheng quickly explained the current situation, he didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly said goodbye and left after handing over a pass waist card to me.

In the evening, it began to drizzle in the sky, and soon the rain began to rain rapidly, and soon it turned into a torrential rain.

Lin Yi and I stood under the eaves of the corridor, looking at the white rain curtain and thinking thoughtfully. Just now, I have received the news sent by Lin Tong, Guo Zhun, Lin Tong, Liu Huang and his entourage of nearly 200 people have all safely entered the Lin family's mansion in the city with the help of He Shoujie, and the manpower of the Lin and Guo families has not yet entered the city except for the more than 100 people led by Lin Duo, and the other arranged manpower has all been in place. Now everything is in place, only the east wind is owed. But whether this most critical east wind can be borrowed smoothly is still uncertain.

Qian Shitang should be attending the meeting of the Xuanfu Embassy now, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return. Moreover, according to the news that Liu Huang and Le Meng came back from inquiring, the Qian Mansion is now heavily controlled, and there are more than a dozen guards with bright armor outside the gate, and there are mobile checkpoints around to patrol back and forth, and all people entering and leaving must be strictly and carefully inspected, and those who do not carry waist cards are not allowed to enter or exit.

It seems that Sun Decheng is still not at ease with Qian Shitang, and in order to prevent any changes in Qian Shitang, he even sent his own cronies to closely monitor him.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi frowned, and said to me thoughtfully: "Now we can't afford to think of a perfect plan anymore." I thought of a way to do it, but I didn't know if it was feasible. Since the guards are so tight, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me, a student of Gong Qian, to enter the Qian Mansion, but we only have a pass waist card in our hands, and it is too late to ask Jian Zheng for it. Why don't we take advantage of the heavy rain and the guards are lax, I will enter through the gate by virtue of the waist card and the identity of Qian Gong's students, while Liu Huang and Le Meng will assist Master Li to climb over the wall from the garden on the west side, where the wall is not very high and can be climbed in, and I will answer in the courtyard. If all goes well, let Lemon and the two of them wait in a secret place outside, and come back to meet us in two hours. ”

My heart moved, and I nodded and said, "Hmm! Time is running out, it seems that there is no good way to give up this, I think this is how to arrange! It's just that it's inconvenient to ride a horse in the dark, so it's better to hire a big car, and the four of us will be hidden in it, and sneaking back and forth will save a lot of trouble. ”

When Lin Yi heard this, he couldn't help nodding yes, and immediately asked Liu Huang to go out to arrange a vehicle, and Le Meng went to ask the store for rain gear.

After a while, the two of us had made arrangements for the report, and the four of us went out of the toilet car at the door of the store, indicating where we were going, and the owner of the car waved his whip, and the car creaked into the heavy rain.

The carriage traveled northward in the storm, turning a few intersections and coming to a wider east-west street.

Not far from the car, a mansion shrouded in smoke and rain appeared in front of us. The lights in front of the door were bright, and the plaque above the lintel was written with the two big characters 'Qian Fu', and more than a dozen soldiers in brocade clothes and bright armor sat under the porch, probably idle, laughing and scolding each other unscrupulously.

Lin Yi instructed us a few more words, put on a hat and a robe, quickly climbed off the carriage, and walked briskly towards the gate of the Qian Mansion. Liu Huang instructed the owner of the car to drive the carriage on, and after bypassing the wall of Qianfu, he went north for dozens of meters before stopping.

The three of us put on rain gear, jumped off the carriage in turn, Liu Huang took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the car owner, and asked him to come back to pick up people in two hours.

The three of us came to the garden wall on the west side of the Qian Mansion in the dark, Le Meng saw that there was no one around, and quickly climbed up the wall, as vigorous as a cheetah, he first looked around the courtyard, saw that there was nothing abnormal, turned around and waved to us, signaling Liu Huang to hold me up on the wall.

Liu Huang was about to make a move, but I waved my hand to stop. Depend on! This is only about one and a half meters high low wall, how can I stop me, a perennial training rock climber, if you expect others to hold up the wall, will not tarnish my reputation, at this time to show my difference, how can they not look flat.

I gently pushed away Liu Huang's outstretched hands, then bowed and jumped, climbed the wall with both hands, rose up with the help of the strength of my waist, climbed over the wall directly, and then gently landed on the soft ground in the courtyard. Looking back, the look of surprise and admiration of Le Meng and Liu Huang, who were lying on the wall, could be faintly seen in the darkness. I smiled and waved at them, then groped my way towards the moon gate in the garden.

Who knew that he had just walked to the moon gate more than ten steps away, but the crescent moon door suddenly 'squeaked' open, and two figures walked in one after the other, two people each holding an umbrella, and a person in front of him carried a rainproof yarn lamp to lead the way in front, looking very much like two women.

I didn't dare to take a breath, so I quickly shrugged down and hid behind the shadow wall, and with the help of the faint light of the lantern, I saw two girls in gauze skirts looking down for something.

I only heard the girl with the lantern say, "Miss, do you remember that you fell around here?" ”

"Yes! I haven't been anywhere else, I remember sitting in the garden for a while, and when I got back to the embroidery room, I disappeared, and I searched for a long time in the house and didn't find it, so I must have fallen here. Another girl said anxiously.

"Miss, how much is a pearl flower worth, isn't it given by that Lin Gongzi? Let's just buy another one another day, why bother braving such a heavy rain to find this Rausch, in case I catch a cold, the old lady will scold me to death. Hee-hee! I see that Miss, you are not lost in Zhuhua, but in soul! The girl with the lantern grinned.

"You...... Okay, you rotten little Cui, you... If you say that again, I will ignore you again. ”

"Alright, alright, my eldest lady, I won't talk about it, right! The beads are here! The two of them fumbled back and forth for a while, and the one named Xiaocui was holding a small object in his hand and said in surprise.

"Give it to me, give it to me."

"Wow! Miss, how can you thank me for finding your sweetheart? ”

"you, I'll clean you up when I go back, huh!" The young lady reached out and snatched the object, then took out a handkerchief and wiped it so carefully that she didn't even bother to use her umbrella.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was another sound of footsteps, and two people quickly walked into the garden, both of them were wearing ponchos, and they couldn't see the specific appearance clearly, and the person behind them was vaguely Lin Yi. When they saw the two girls in front of them, they heard an exclamation from the man in front of them.

"Yikes! What's going on, sister! It's raining so hard, what are you doing here? A young man's voice said.

"I ...... I...... I lost something, maybe it was drop... Dropped here, I... Let's find out. ”

"What is so important, not even an umbrella, what if you get cold? Xiaocui, take the young lady back to the house. It's just that Lin Gongzi is here, if he is seen by outsiders, this ugliness will be a big loss. ”

"Ahh Forest... Lin Gongzi! The young lady had already hurriedly hidden the beaded flower wrapped in the handkerchief behind her, and although she could not see her expression clearly in the dark, she also felt her embarrassment and shyness. I was secretly amused in my heart, it seems that 'Lang is affectionate, and the concubine is intentional', this young lady of the Qian family has already secretly planted Lin Yiqing, but she is just ashamed to express it, if I have the opportunity, I will do their good deeds.

At this time, Lin Yi leaned over and picked up the umbrella that the young lady had lost, handed it to her, and said warmly: "With such a heavy rain, it will be troublesome to get drenched, Miss Hui should hurry back to the house and rest!" ”

The young lady Hui took the umbrella in shame, said 'thank you' vaguely, and ran out of the garden gate with Xiaocui in a panic.

When they were far away, I detoured to the stone path, and as if I had just arrived, I quickly walked in front of them.

Lin Yi was surprised and delighted to see that I had arrived safely, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lin Yi made this decision, but the adults were wronged," and then pointed to the young man and said to me, "Lord Li, this is Qian Cong, Qian Yunsheng, the son of Lord Qian, he heard that the adults are coming, but I don't know how happy he is." ”

That Qian Cong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I admired the name of the adult in the morning, but I hated not to have a chance to meet, and I had the fate to see it today, and I asked the adult to give me more advice." However, this is not the place to talk, so please come to the living room to serve tea. ”

I said, 'Disturb, 'Disturb, 'Disturbance' and followed them towards the front yard.

After entering the living room, I took a closer look at Qian Cong and saw that he was not as weak as an ordinary scholar, but a tall and rough young man, with a pair of bright eyes, which showed his shrewdness and ability.

Qian Cong saw that I had an extraordinary bearing, and his eyes also showed admiration, and after letting us to the back hall, he hurriedly gave me a seat and served tea.

The three of us had just sat down, but they heard someone shouting outside the door: "The master is back" The three of us all stood up and looked at the door through the carved screen, but saw a middle-aged man wearing a poncho walking in from outside the hall, and his expression should be Qian Shitang.

He took off the poncho on his body and handed it to the family who greeted him, and after turning to the hall, he saw our group, especially when his eyes turned to me, his face was slightly surprised, but then he swept by, and said in a deep voice to Qian Cong: "There are guests at home, and you don't welcome me out, you are becoming more and more disagreeable." ”

Then he turned to Lin Yi and said, "Pingzhi, is this guest here with you?" I don't know which guest it is, why don't you introduce it! ”
