Finally rushed out of the dense forest, in front of which was an open area, under the cover of sparse forests and low grass and trees, five figures appeared and disappeared from time to time, jumping and turning frequently, and quickly moving to the high ground on the west side.

"Stop!"

Yun Niang shouted an order, Lu Xiyao and nearly twenty followers stopped their feet one after another, and the strong man in front of him leaned forward, his front legs were extremely tight, and his hind feet were half lifted off the ground, and his eyes were staring at the figure moving on the west side.

The velvety clouds in the sky slowly cracked, and the golden sunlight poured down, reflecting the outline of a manor house on the distant heights.

Yun Niang is quite familiar with that manor!

When she was working in Jinyun Pavilion, every time she received an order, she would secretly go to this manor, walk into the small building shaded by the bamboo forest, find a wooden frame, open the No. 5 wooden drawer, take out a piece of paper, remember every word on the paper, and then burn the paper to ashes.

When she was done, she would come to the manor again, leave a letter in the No. 5 drawer, and then she would not linger or wander, and would have to return the way she had come when she left the building.

As for the legendary mysterious owner of Jinyun Pavilion, the one who secretly gave orders, it has always been the dragon who sees the head but does not see the tail, only hears the sound of the stairs, and does not see the person who goes downstairs. Yun Niang has never had the opportunity to meet her.

Seeing the five figures moving farther and farther away, Lu Xiyao moved to Yun Niang's side. Under the background of the blue scarf, her eyes appear brighter, and the clear eye waves flicker in the vast wilderness, reminding people of the twinkling stars of the Milky Way in the middle of the night.

"Although the people in the capital are very good and the thieves are extinct, the five people who have gone away are clearly thieves. It's rare to be populated here, let's go back, and wait for Shuntianfu to come and arrest it! ”

Yun Niang must be hesitant there.

The five figures in front of them had already appeared on the high slope, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the manor.

Actually entered the manor? Could it be that the manor is their hiding place?

That's right, the five really entered the manor! After taking a closer look and thinking about it, Yun Niang was shocked.

Yun Niang's face is obliquely illuminated by the sun, and the delicate outline is clearer. His eyes fell into the shadows, and his gaze was full of deep meaning.

"Sister Lu, if Yun Niang said that I often went to the manor in front of me back then, how would you feel?"

Lu Xiyao's eyes widened, "He······ King Yue once said that there is a hidden place in the capital called Jinyun Pavilion. ”

"Jinyun Pavilion!"

Yun Niang sighed faintly, and a hint of determination appeared in the corners of her eyes, "Since it is the territory of Jinyun Pavilion, how can Yun Niang not go to find out?" Sister Lu, you are an outsider, you don't have to follow me into danger, I will immediately order someone to send you back to Beijing, otherwise, if you have a bad pool, King Yue will not eat Yun Niang alive! ”

Lu Xiyao's expression was slightly dazed, and she muttered, "However, Xi Yao is ······ to Jinyun Pavilion Also a little curious. What's more, I'm not an outsider, and I really want to know how the Zhou family hurt me in secret back then! ”

······

The open courtyard gate is about a zhang wide, and on both sides of the courtyard gate, the heavy courtyard wall is gray and mottled, and unknown weeds are displayed on it.

Entering the courtyard, but seeing the small pond, rockery, nursery, and flower forest lined up from left to right, bursts of lushness hit, stained with clothes and sleeves, refreshing people's hearts.

On the east side of the small pond, a bamboo forest occupies the entire east courtyard. Looking over the bamboo tips curling in the wind, the spire of the small building can be faintly seen.

Yun Niang once heard that this manor is called Willow Garden, and the small building in the bamboo forest is called Shulou, as for who "Willow" refers to, and what "Shu" means, she doesn't know anything.

Thinking back then, Yun Niang had been in it countless times, although she had never seen a person or heard a word here, but at that time, she only needed to listen to the wisps of piano that floated from nowhere, her eyes touched the gurgling water, and then with the faintly audible snort not far away, she could detect that there were mysterious masters living in the courtyard who were not passed down to the world, and there were a group of subordinates who hid in secret places and never showed their faces easily.

However, at this moment, there was silence in the courtyard, and even the spring by the rockery seemed to be congested with debris, and there was no longer a bubbling sound of spring.

Looking around, I realized that this place didn't look like a human being.

"Let's split up and search carefully!" Yun Niang whispered to her entourage. Yan Bi turned her head to look at the small building in the bamboo forest, she knew that there was a winding path by the pool that led directly to the small building.

"Don't waste your energy, those five people have long since escaped, and there is no second person in the entire Liuyuan except me!"

An abrupt voice floated over, and Yun Niang and Lu Xiyao were taken aback. Several of the attendants who had burrowed into the forest quickly withdrew when they heard the sound, and guarded the two of them with a guarded face.

Everyone heard it clearly, this voice was a female voice, it seemed to come from the small building, with a little vicissitudes, listening to the voice to distinguish people, it can be seen that the voice should not be young, but the speech is quite clear, far from the old age of tooth loss and tongue fatigue.

Yun Niang was the leader, and everyone walked quickly around the small pond and came to the winding intersection leading to the small building. At this time, the man's voice sounded on the side of the small building again.

"Man stand down! No man has ever come near this building, and you can't wait for it! ”

That man is really in the small building! Yun Niang was both happy and surprised, and was stunned for a moment, thinking that the person who spoke was just a female streamer, so she didn't have to worry about accidents! immediately waved his hand to signal the entourage to retreat, and then walked on the winding path with Lu Xiyao.

The path has nine twists and eighteen bends, making people's minds dizzy, Rao is Yun Niang is familiar with the road, and the two of them still spent a lot of effort to avoid the traps formed by countless forks, pass through the ecstasy array, and successfully arrive in front of the small building.

It is a two-storey pavilion with three rooms in width, and excluding the raised spire, the height of the building is probably no more than three feet higher than that of ordinary single-storey houses.

A circular wooden staircase leads up to the second floor, facing a half-hidden moon door. In Yun Niang's impression, the moon door never seemed to be closed, and it was always dark inside, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Yun Niang habitually glanced at the Moon Gate, and then looked at the main entrance on the ground floor. She knew, of course, that there were two rows of wooden shelves inside the main entrance, where there was the number five drawer that she had ordered to be ordered by paper.

"Who's the Honorable Driver?"

Yun Niang couldn't figure out where the person was, so she asked each other loudly, hoping to wait for the other party to respond before listening to the voice.

"Stop thinking about Drawer Five, it's not yours anymore."

The sound is coming from upstairs? Yes, it must have come from inside the Moon Gate! Yun Niang and Lu Xiyao raised their eyes one after another to look at the end of the stairs.

"Your name is Yun Niang, and I have seen you enter and exit this building through this door countless times, or be ordered, or reinstated. You should call me Pavilion Master! ”

Pavilion Master? Yun Niang was taken aback, and when she came back to her senses, she suddenly realized that she had been peeped at by a hermit in the dark countless times, and it was not pleasant.

Fang wanted to salute, and suddenly remembered that he had already turned his back on Jinyun Pavilion, so why should he pay tribute to the pavilion master he had never met? So, Yun Niang clenched her fists and made a faint salute to the Moon Gate.

"Don't salute, lest you look awkward! I don't want to see you, I just want to see this girl next to you. Alas, he did not attract him, but he attracted the bitter master of the past in front of Tanzhe Temple! ”

The voice paused, but when he saw the fire flickering inside the moon gate, there seemed to be a pale yellow candle lit inside, and the candlelight was dim, which was not enough to dispel the endless darkness in between.

See me? He? Tanzhe Temple? Bitter Lord?

Lu Xiyao was stunned for a long time, unable to come to her senses. His gaze slowly left the bamboo shadow and moved to Yun Niang's face.

"I'm with you." Yun Niang raised her hand, "Or bring my long sword!" ”

The voices of the people upstairs echoed in my ears, and I felt a gentle charm and an irresistible temptation!

"No!"

Lu Xiyao shook her head at Yun Niang.
