In the southeast corner of Chang'an City, there is a pond, named "Qujiang", and the pond side is the royal palace, named "Furong Garden".

Quchifang is named after the pool, because of the geographical convenience, the people who live are all dignitaries, of course, it is located near the city gate, a corner of the city wall, it is not suitable as a main house, but it is a partial courtyard.

As the sister of today's favorite concubine, Mrs. Qiu Guo also has an annex here, occupying the position of the pond, pushing the window to see the scenery, which is beautiful.

The courtyard leads the water to the pond, and there is a painting boat docked in the water, if you are interested, you can board a boat and play in your own home, but it is winter now, and it is not a good time to visit the lake.

When the sky is dark, the doors of the house are closed, the bells are gradually stopped, and there are no pedestrians in the streets, only the lanterns hanging in front of the house gate, which are shining in the cold night.

When a team of patrols passed, Liu Ji quietly slid down from a big tree, and the coat he was wearing before had been taken off by him and hidden on the branch, covered in a black coat, revealing only a pair of eyes.

The courtyard not far from the big tree is the location of Tian Qianzhen's confession, and after three days of investigation, it has been determined that its owner is Mrs. Qiuguo.

Liu Ji didn't want to rely on speculation to judge, he had to see for himself.

The height of the courtyard wall is about four meters, it is difficult to reach the height in situ, the big trees are too far apart, and he can't jump over with his strength, so he can only think of another way, fortunately, there is a corner at the back door of the courtyard, Liu Ji patiently observed for a while, and determined that the patrol would not walk through at least a quarter of an hour or so, so he immediately got up to run, used the support of the corner, stepped up, and grabbed the lower edge of the courtyard wall at once.

Instead of rushing to turn over, he carefully propped his head out and looked down.

The purpose of this is to prevent obstacles on the top of the wall, although there is no power grid in this era, and glass is also a rare thing, but the ceramic pieces can be the same, sure enough, the first thing he saw was the densely inserted broken porcelain pieces, if he grabbed it rashly, he couldn't keep his hands.

Secondly, it is necessary to determine the courtyard below, where to stay, what to hide, and whether there are patrols coming and going.

This corner is the side of the backyard door, below is a small yard, it looks like a miscellaneous yard or a manger, the yard is piled up with a lot of sundries, the most important thing is that the front hall will block the whole way, to pass, you have to take risks, the hall is lit with lights, and there are faint human voices.

He did not go down, but climbed up the courtyard wall with his hands, supported the edge with both hands, crawled down all over, and climbed forward little by little with the sharp broken porcelain pieces under him, and bypassed the small courtyard from the courtyard wall, and came to a place that looked like a garden, at this hour, of course, there would be no one in the garden, not even the patrolman was nowhere to be seen, he crept down the wall and stepped on a bush.

Can there be flowers and plants in winter, it must not be ordinary, Liu Ji observed for a while, flashed out of the grass, leaned on a mountain rock, and slowly groped forward, according to the ordinary pattern, the front should be a place to live,

The round door in front of the garden was closed, Liu Ji tried to push it, it should be tied from the inside, fortunately, the courtyard wall here is not too high, he dived to the corner of the wall, stepped on a stone, slowly propped it up, and the situation inside was unobstructed.

Sure enough, it was a huge courtyard, with lanterns lit in the corridors below, and the corridors were crowded with people, whether they were climbing over the courtyard wall or sneaking into the courtyard, there was great danger.

He took a closer look at the wall, and the courtyard below should be the residence of the maid and maid in the courtyard, not the master, if the inference is correct, through this house, it should be the master's courtyard, because his own courtyard is like this.

He slipped off the wall helplessly, hanging in the air with only two hands to support his whole body, extremely tiring, and he was not an iron man, so he had to take a breath.

There is no hope on the front, the night detective is not a clear break, and he does not plan to alarm anyone until he finds the target's residence, otherwise even if he asks, he will inevitably detect the target and bring variables to the subsequent actions.

You must know that Yan Zhuang is not an ordinary person, as the mastermind of An Lushan, the most important thing is to be secretive, he is doing such a thing now, prudence is inevitable, and expecting the enemy to be careless is not the thinking that a staff officer should have.

Liu Ji calmed down, looking at the layout of this garden by the moonlight, since there are mountains and rocks, there will be flowing water, and such a yard must be living water, he suddenly had an idea.

He went to the side of the mountain rock, looked at it, and sure enough, there was a dark river on the side, Liu Ji stretched out his hand to try it in the water, and he could feel that the water was flowing, this small river must be through the Qujiang Pond, he did not hesitate to take off his coat, hid in the rock crevice of the mountain rock, and only cut a short hakama on his body, and suddenly felt a chill.

Liu Ji plucked a reed, pinched the head and removed the tail, it became a snorkel, he dodged into the water, moved in the water in a semi-submersible way, and soon crossed the garden, came to the courtyard he saw, quickly bowed his head, hid his body in the water, and the speed of the water was also reduced.

There was a light above his head, and the voices of various women came into his ears clearly, and he listened intently for a while, all of them were parents, there were no valuable clues, and no one mentioned any uninvited guests in the hospital, it seemed that the discipline here was very strict, or the news was very completely blocked, and they didn't know anything at all.

Liu Ji walked slowly in the water, and when he swam through the courtyard, the front was dark again, he slowly peeked out of the water, this is actually another garden, the area is much larger, because the front is far away, you can see the fire, since there is no one on it, he doesn't want to soak in the water, so he climbed up from the shore, the water droplets on his body were blown by the wind, so cold that he hugged his arms and shivered, and had to run a few steps quickly, hoping to feel some heat.

Running wet against the wind, the heat evaporated quickly, and he felt that his limbs became extremely stiff, Liu Ji ran for a while, felt that this was not good, and wanted to pull some grass blades to wipe his body, at least wipe the water dry, he found a larger space between the mountains and rocks, and rubbed his body busily, and by the way avoided the wind, at this moment, there was a sound in his ears, and before his stiff limbs reacted, his upper body was hugged by someone.

Liu Ji's hair stood up suddenly, and his heart was broken, he couldn't even hear that there were people nearby, this was an unforgivable mistake.

But what made him even more frightened was that there was an extremely soft touch on his body, and the embrace with body temperature made him not resist at all, and what he smelled between his nose was a mellow woman's breath, and his ears were tickled by the warm breath, and an extremely coquettish voice went straight into his mind.

"Dead ghost, you're here."
