Chapter 720: Medicinal Herb Cellar

Since Xu Mo's family is the richest man in Hejian Mansion, he will not be just a small general, maybe he was taken advantage of by that general when he first entered the city, but Jin Rensenran's class system will not give him such benefits for a long time.

In addition, there are not many generals in the huge right-wing army, and to put it bluntly, they are worthless, how can there be so many people to guard?

Xu Zizhen looked as far away as he could, there were no less than fifty people standing around the building, almost all-round protection without dead ends, Xu Zizhen's heart moved, could it be that the bastard of Wushu came to Hejian Mansion and lived here?

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Xu Zizhen decided to take a risk to see what happened.

Xu Mo has already let himself out now, nodded and said, "Okay." As he spoke, he detoured along a side path that was almost unwalkable.

But in the end, the two still couldn't get close, the guards of the building were too tight, and there was a torch shining every ten steps, let alone entering the building to inspect, even if they took a few steps closer, they would be immediately discovered.

Xu Zizhen said secretly hatefully: "Damn, is it still in vain?" I really don't believe it! ”

The front of the small building can't be approached, so touch it from the back to see, usually the guards at the back door are relatively weak, I don't know how it is here.

However, when Xu Zizhen went around half a circle and touched the north side of the building, he was still disappointed, because the guards here were no less than the other three sides, and because they were carrying the moonlight, the torches here illuminated a radius of dozens of meters.

Xu Zizhen was completely dead, gestured to Xu Mo, gritted his teeth and turned around to leave, but at this moment, his figure stopped, pulled down Xu Mo and asked, "What is that place?" ”

Xu Mo looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that it was a vacant lot, and a simple wooden house was built in the center, and there was not even a tree planted around it, it was so bare, but there were the same dozens of golden soldiers guarding such a place, and it was obvious that the importance of this place was no less than that of the characters in that building.

"Oh, that's my family's medicine cellar, and the way down is in that house."

Xu Zizhen raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously felt a little strange, a cellar of Tibetan medicine, does it need so many people to guard?

Xu Mo was not stupid, he reacted as soon as the words came out, and said in a lost voice: "Could it be that they locked people up here?" ”

"Possibly." Xu Zizhen only said these three words and was silent, just his eyes were scanning around to see if there was a chance to touch in and find out.

As soon as he thought of this, he heard Xu Mo call him: "Big brother, let's go down and have a look?" ”

Xu Zizhen said helplessly: "Didn't you see so many people? How to go down? ”

Xu Mo smiled: "My cellar is different from other people's homes, don't you know that the place where the medicinal herbs are stored must be kept ventilated?" ”

Xu Zizhen suddenly heard the meaning of his words, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "There is still an opening to enter?" ”

"Yes, and they don't necessarily notice it." Xu Mo smiled proudly, "Big brother, come with me." ”

Xu Zizhen followed Xu Mo to the southwest of the building, here is a wide pond, it is early winter, the pond is so clean that you can't even find a root of aquatic plants, but there is a small artificial island in the middle of the pond, the area is very small, and only a dozen or so trees are planted, nothing else, it looks like a layout of feng shui.

This place is not close to the place guarded by the Jin people, but there is no one, Xu Mo cautiously looked left and right, came to the edge of the pond and gently slid into the water.

Xu Zizhen understood, there must be a mystery on that island, and he couldn't care about it at this time, so he gritted his teeth and followed into the water, the cold and biting feeling made him almost cramp in his calves, and his whole body trembled, but he still endured it and swam towards the island with Xu Mo one after another.

Both of them were as careful as possible not to make a sound, but fortunately they came to the island not long after, Xu Mo was so cold that he couldn't speak, and he forced the teeth of the fight to get into the middle of a few trees, and he didn't know what was being done on the ground, and suddenly set off a bamboo grid that was more than a foot square.

"Brother Xu, just ...... This is the next ...... Go down, and I'll give it to you...... Look. ”

Xu Zizhen was also frozen enough, and without saying a word, he went into the hole, Xu Mo continued to cover the grid, and dodged behind a tree to be on guard.

With a bang, Xu Zizhen fell onto a pile of messy debris, fortunately, there were no hard objects, just some stubble things that hurt his buttocks, Xu Zizhen struggled to get up, and found that it was just a few brooms and a dun cloth or something, and nothing could be seen in the black rumbling around him, only some light was faintly reflected in the distance.

Xu Zizhen secretly screamed a fluke, just now he was so cold that he couldn't stand it and jumped down regardless of it, fortunately it was just some sundries, if Jin Bing piled up some weapons here, it is estimated that there would be several more holes in his body.

He came back to his senses and cautiously leaned out a few steps, and found that there was a long passage in front of him, less than a zhang wide, and there were small compartments without doors on the left and right, some of which were piled up with large bags of things, smelling a smell of medicinal fragrance, it seemed that the medicinal materials of the Xu family had not been evacuated by the Jin people.

The whole cellar was unusually quiet, and no human voice could be heard, Xu Zizhen snorted, thinking that Jin Ren was not stupid, no one could stand the smell in the cellar, even if he wanted to close people, he would not accompany him below, which was good and convenient for him.

He walked up while thinking about it, and there was a torch in the cellar from a long distance, and the light was very weak, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and he found that there was a compartment not far in front of him that was actually equipped with an iron fence, and he glanced at it carefully, and the cat bent over and touched it, and came to the outside of the fence and looked inside.

Rumble!

A monstrous anger rushed out from the bottom of Xu Zizhen's heart.

This compartment is really locked up with people, and it is really the Xuanyi Daoist who is closed, but the current Xuanyi Daoist is completely different from the previous indifferent dust, I saw that she was covered in blood and her hair was scattered, her hands and feet were shackled, and she was lying in the corner like this, not moving, and I don't know if she was still alive.

At this moment, Daoist Xuanyi seemed to sense that someone was coming, moved slightly, raised his eyelids to look at the door, and asked with a faint breath, "Who is it?" ”

Xu Zizhen endured his anger and grief, and said in a trembling voice: "Dao Chief, it's me." ”

Xuanyi Dao Chang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she could see his face clearly in the dark, but she could hear the voice.

Xu Zizhen? It turned out to be Xu Zizhen?

She couldn't believe it: "Zizhen? You...... How did you end up here? ”

"I'm here to save you." Xu Zizhen didn't say anything, he was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, he couldn't help but rush out and kill the golden soldiers here, even if he would die here, he had no scruples.

As he spoke, he pulled out the Tang knife from his lower back, and when he touched the lock, he was about to cut it down, and it was not a problem to cut such a lock with the sharpness of the Tang knife.

But Xuanyi Dao Chang said lightly: "Zizhen, no! I can't go. ”

Xu Zizhen's hand stopped in mid-air, and he was stunned: "Why?" ”
