Chapter 518: The Secret Passage of the Chen Mansion

On the fifth watch, the dew was heavier, Zhu Qing sneaked into the city, and the night wind carried the dew and unconsciously soaked the cloak on his body, the cold air was pressing, and people didn't want to show an inch of skin.

At this time, in Zigong West City, the guards of the city gate buried their heads in their arms, leaned against the wall with spears and took a nap. The patrolling soldiers, although occasionally squirming around the walls, were tightly wrapped around their bodies, revealing only their two eyes.

Only exposing two eyes is far from enough to prevent Jinyiwei, and it is easy to block the view on both sides if the ears are wrapped, and there will be no afterglow to form a dead end. Especially for Zhu Qing, who is in sight of the legendary dragon, he does not pose any threat.

Even so, Zhu Qing still didn't enter through the door, which was too risky. During the day, he had already looked far away on the hill outside the city, and spotted a large tree on the edge of the city wall, which was undoubtedly a ladder to enter the city.

After the patrol passed, Zhu Qing climbed from the big tree into the city with almost no effort. But he knew the tree wouldn't be around for long......

In Zigong West City on the fifth watch, a night bird's cry suddenly sounded, which seemed very ordinary. But two dark shadows were already sneaking towards this side.

In the corner of a darker alley, the two men whispered, "General, you're here...... it's the brocade guard scouts.

Zhu Qing nodded, "How's the situation?" Although he didn't expect any unexpected answers, Zhu Qing still asked, hoping to know more than he knew outside the city.

"The front of the Chen Mansion is still heavily guarded, and it is difficult for the reconnaissance battalion to penetrate...... "The Jinyi guards who returned did not dare to raise their heads, because this showed that their abilities still needed to be improved.

But Zhu Qing didn't reproach and nodded, "Are there any other discoveries?" ”

"Chen Wuyong came out of Chen's Mansion once, went back to his mansion, and hurried back to Chen's Mansion, and he hasn't seen him until now......"

What Zhu Qing was waiting for was such an unexpected answer......

"Chen Wuyong must have gone back to get something." Zhu Qing guessed, "You continue to investigate at the front door, and once Chen Wuyong comes out, keep an eye on him for me, and you must find a way to dig something out of him......"

"Understood! But ...... Chen? ”

"The Chen Mansion will be handed over to me. Later, the mobile team may move, and if something is wrong, you will have to help. Zhu Qing instructed, he did not tell his subordinates about his actions, and he himself was not sure whether his actions were feasible. That's just a piece of information from Xiaoqi, and I can't tell the truth from the false.

"Yes!"

Zhu Qing bypassed the alley and sneaked towards Chen's mansion.

However, Zhu Qing did not go straight to the gate of the Chen Mansion. Xiao Qi just revealed to him that there was a secret passage behind the Chen Mansion! This secret passage was left by Chen Jiujin when he met Xiaoqi privately. It is said to go straight to Chen Jiujin's study. It is unknown why it leads to the study and not directly to the bedroom. In addition to being interesting, the two of them are also quite elegant......

Zhu Qing learned a few more bird calls on the way to the secret passage, and immediately attracted several black shadows to accompany him.

"Come with me first!" Zhu Qing didn't have time to explain, and several Jinyi guards of the mobile group didn't ask, and followed Zhu Qing closely to sneak to the secret passage.

The group came to a fork in the road. Suddenly, I found that the side of the courtyard wall was indeed lush with vegetation, and few people set foot in this backyard.

Even so, outside the backyard walls at this time, there were still several figures walking. Needless to say, this is the guard sent by Xu Dingguo to monitor Chen Jiujin.

"Xu Dingguo is really vigilant, and he almost does it without leaks...... Zhu Qing observed a few times and said.

The reason why he said almost, is because he found a loophole. There were two rows of broad-leaved potted plants between the fork and the courtyard wall, and if he led the three guards to the right, he could sneak through from the left.

Zhu Qing glanced at the four brocade guards beside him, and made a hidden gesture towards the potted plant on the right, and the three of them sneaked over. Then Zhu Qing then pointed to one of the remaining brocade guards, and the guard nodded, and did not sneak into the bushes on the right.

"Who?!" These people are really very awake masters, and some wind and grass can attract their attention. A man had already come over.

When I came to the bonsai on the right and looked into the bushes, I suddenly jumped into the bushes!

But apparently, it wasn't him who jumped into it, it was the brocade guard who was lying in ambush under the potted plant and dragged it in, needless to say, his neck had been twisted.

"Hello? What's going on? Another person was suspicious.

"I didn't ...... It's okay, I accidentally stumbled for a moment...... "The sound is not very similar, but the people outside think that Wei hurts."

"You keep guard here, I'll go over and take ......a look," one of the guards said to the other, and walked towards the potted plant on the right, pulling out the knife at his waist as he went, thinking that he did have some ability, no wonder, the scouts of the brocade guard were difficult to approach, the backyard was still like this, and the wide front door was even more difficult to penetrate.

In fact, there are monitors around the courtyard wall of the entire Chen Mansion, except for the backyard, which is very secluded, and people pretend to pass by from time to time on other roads.

Zhu Qing looked at the situation on the right, and felt a little bad in his heart, this second person would definitely expose the Jinyi guard who was ambushed under the potted plant, as long as the one on the other side of the courtyard wall found that something was wrong, he would definitely shout for help, in this way, not only could he not enter from the backyard, but he might even be chased and killed by the whole city in an instant!

With this in mind, he stretched out two fingers from the gap in the potted plant to the brocade guard on his right, and then gathered his fists again. The person on the other side nodded slightly......

At this time, Zhu Qing took advantage of the guards who came over to just cross the left side of the line of sight, and touched forward.

"Hey, you...... What do you think? ......" The guard who walked over stirred his knife into the potted bushes, and asked in horror.

"Fu ...... Give me a hand...... Ah......" A brocade-clad guard who was lying in ambush behind a potted plant stepped forward.

After all, it's dark, and this hand can't see clearly whether it's friend or foe. The guard hesitated, but reached out anyway. Unexpectedly, as soon as he was halfway out, he was suddenly pulled by the hand inside, and the whole person fell into the potted bush.

"......" Before the guards on the other side of the courtyard wall could scream, their mouths were covered!

Zhu Qing suddenly jumped up from the side of the potted plant on the left side, rushed towards the guard on the courtyard wall, covered his mouth with one hand, pressed the top of his head with the other, and twisted it hard, and the guard couldn't make a sound.

Looking at the side on the right, the guard who drew his sword was really a little difficult to handle, and one of the two brocade guards held his hand, and the other covered his mouth, and fluttered for a while before completely subduing the enemy......

Zhu Qing looked around, fortunately he didn't attract enemies, he breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted softly, "Clean up and wait for me here!" ”

As he spoke, he walked along the courtyard wall, and after a while, he really found a well in the dead wood and weeds!

Zhu Qing turned around and saw that the brocade guards had not only dealt with the guards, but also quickly changed into their clothes and came over to pretend to stand guard, so he opened the manhole cover with confidence, sniffed it gently, and found that there was no abnormality......

After entering the wellhead, Zhu Qing found that this secret passage was really as clean and transparent as Xiao Qi said. It seems that Chen Jiujin took great pains to meet Xiaoqi for a tryst...... But why can't a couple be together legitimately? In addition to Xiaoqi's father's situation, there should be an unknown reason for the Chen Mansion......

But now is not the time to inquire into personal issues, Zhu Qing is not a paparazzi, there is no need to dig up Chen Jiujin's scandal. He just wanted to see Chen Jiujin as soon as possible now, so that Jinyiwei would be able to grasp a lot of the situation in Zigong City!

Zhu Qing walked for a long time with the fire fold, from the fire fold shaking to calm and then shaking, Zhu Qing made no less than three turns, and occasionally found some small potted plants along the road, all of which were shade-loving vegetation, but it seemed that it had not been watered for a long time, although the flowers were alive, the soil was a little dry, it should be that Chen Jiujin rarely went down the secret passage after being monitored.

"It's also quite interesting for Boss Chen and Miss Xiaoqi to date in this place......" Zhu Qing thought and couldn't help but smile. A plot suddenly appeared in his mind, and he thought of the secret passage of the Bright Top, which seemed to be a good tryst place......

"Will there be a great shift of the mind here? Even the one-armed god and nun appeared......" Zhu Qing couldn't help but stretch out his fire fold and look up, but there was nothing else on the rock wall except for some moss ferns. Obviously, Zhu Qing, who was alone in the secret passage, thought too much......

But it was precisely because he was thinking and walking that he unconsciously walked to the innermost. At this time, the flame in his hand shook violently, indicating that the air flowed well.

"This is the exit, isn't it?" Zhu Qing looked up and saw a few steps, and there seemed to be lights coming in from outside. Zhu Qing was afraid that someone outside would be discovered, so he quickly blew out the fire fold in his hand.

Zhu Qing walked up the stone steps softly and slowly, but when he reached the top, he found that the exit was in front of a bookcase!

"It's hiding the mechanism and the secret door behind the bookcase, can you be a little creative?" Zhu Qing looked at the bookcase blocking the exit, and sighed helplessly in his heart. I was about to reach for the switch, but suddenly I heard someone walking around the room, and it seemed that he was rummaging through something. I'm already on my way to the bookcase.

Zhu Qing couldn't help but shrink the rope and flash it behind the door frame, and was about to hold his breath, but was attracted by a fragrance. Zhu Qing sniffed lightly, "Female? It's not Boss Chen...... Could it be that Boss Chen has another woman? They also use this secret passage for their tryst? Zhu Qing muttered in his heart, the beauty of the beautiful people in Zhu Qing's heart was almost shattered, and the man was not at ease with a few money!

Zhu Qing is getting ready, once the people outside come in, he won't say a word, let it down first, after all, he stole in, and he came for business, no one can sabotage his actions!

But when Zhu Qing moved his wrist slightly, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside, "What are you doing here?" Who let you into the young master's study? The woman who spoke was obviously an old woman, and she could hear that she was surprised and angry when she saw someone appear in Chen Jiujin's study!

"Old lady, it was the young master who asked me to come in and get paper, they don't have enough writing paper outside......" The woman in front of the bookcase was obviously a young girl, listening to that voice, she knew that she was very scared, she should be a maid.

"Get out of here! If you have nothing to do in the future, don't just enter the young master's study! The old lady shouted angrily.

"Yes......" replied the maid, reaching for the paper roll in the lattice, and hurried out.

A "click" sound came from the bookcase, and the old lady thought that the maid had knocked down the book, glared at her, and scolded lightly, "A subordinate, hairy...... Hum! With that, he closed the door of the study and left.

After Zhu Qing listened to the secret passage, he guessed that this old lady should be Chen Jiujin's mother, listening to this temper, no wonder it was so difficult for Chen Jiujin and Xiaoqi to meet, and they had to secretly enter and exit the tryst from the secret passage......

"Hey, brother, I'm really sorry for you......" Zhu Qing couldn't help but sigh secretly for Chen Jiujin.

At this moment, the bookcase suddenly moved! After a while, the bookcase blocking the entrance of the secret passage moved to the other side.

Zhu Qing was puzzled and cautiously probed out, and only then did he walk out of the secret door after making sure that there was no one in the study.

He walked to the bookcase and looked, and saw a convex spot in the somewhat scattered paper roll grids, Zhu Qing tentatively reached out and twisted it, and the bookcase really moved! Zhu Qing smiled secretly, "It must have been the maid who accidentally touched this mechanism when she was holding the paper roll just now." Hey, Mr. Chen, you're too careless about this organ, aren't you? ”

After closing the secret door, Zhu Qing walked around Chen Jiujin's study, there didn't seem to be anything special, it was just an ordinary study, why was the old lady so nervous? Is there really a big secret here?

Just when Zhu Qing was thinking about whether to rummage through this kind of brother's study, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and he walked closer and closer, and he was walking towards the study.

In order not to scare Chen Jiujin, and even more so as not to make too much noise, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the guards outside Chen's mansion, Zhu Qing decided to find a place to hide first, and then come out to greet Chen Jiujin when he saw the situation.

Zhu Qing went into a corner in the dark, and there was also a bookcase over there, but compared to the bookcase here, that one looked a little inconspicuous, and even emitted a smell of camphor. Zhu Qing couldn't care so much, and the door of the study had been gently opened from the outside......

As the door of the study slowly opened, Zhu Qing's body hid inside, and then he touched a piece of wood, but immediately moved his body away, because it was a piece of camphor wood, which should be placed in the study to prevent insects. Zhu Qing twisted his nose and scolded in his heart with some disgust, "The insects are not dead, people are almost smoked to death......"

After the person who entered the door turned around and closed the door of the study, he walked straight to the table of eight immortals in front of the window, took out the fire fold on the desk, gently blew the flames, and lit an oil lamp. The light instantly illuminated the study, and sure enough, it was Chen Jiujin!

Unlike the old lady, after Chen Jiujin entered the study, he did not look at the bookcase over there, but at the bookcase here. Chen Jiujin saw that the grid on the bookcase was a little messy, and his face couldn't help but be shocked, and he hurriedly stepped forward to check, and after reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief and comforted himself, "Hey, this Fluttershy, it's not easy to take a paper roll, but fortunately it wasn't found......"

Zhu Qing looked at Chen Jiujin's worried look at the grid, and knew that he was worried that the secret passage would be discovered. In this way, Boss Chen has not forgotten Xiaoqi's mother and daughter.

Zhu Qing nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help touching the confidant jade on his waist, such a friend is a deep friend......

Who knew that the emotion was excessive, and when I accidentally pulled the cloak when I carried the handle, the cloak fell into the gap of the bookcase, stuck, and with a "hiss", the cloak was torn open!

"Who?" Chen Jiujin suddenly looked at the bookcase here in shock, and even picked up the inkstone on the desk and walked over cautiously, he hoped it was a mouse or something......

But when Chen Jiujin walked in, he found the corner of the cloak that was stuck in the gap!

Just as Chen Jiujin was about to shout out, an unsheathed knife suddenly swung out, hitting Chen Jiujin's left shoulder with a blow. Chen Jiujin raised his hand and stopped the inkstone that was about to be smashed out in mid-air, without even closing his mouth, and the whole person suddenly froze!

After making sure that Chen Jiujin had been pointed, Zhu Qing walked out from behind the bookcase, he pulled the stuck cloak hard, and scolded secretly, "It's really troublesome!" ”

After the whole person came out, Zhu Qing looked at Chen Jiujin, who couldn't help but be a little funny, and smiled faintly, "Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I'm afraid that you will alarm the spies outside by shouting, so I can only point your dumb hole." I'll untie it for you now, but you must not scream, I'm really a green dragon. Oh, look, this is the piece of jade you gave me......" Zhu Qing said, taking the confidant jade given by Chen Jiujin and walking forward, reaching out to unlock Chen Jiujin's acupoint!

Chen Jiujin suddenly relaxed, and the whole person pounced, almost not standing firmly, after all, he wanted the inkstone to smash the person behind the bookcase just now. At this time, the acupoint was solved, and the fingers did not grasp the inkstone steadily, and the inkstone suddenly fell!

"Ouch, that's bad!" Zhu Qing screamed softly, hurriedly slid forward, and stretched out his hand to intercept the inkstone in midair.

Seeing that the inkstone did not land, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm scared to death, Brother Qinglong, is it really you? I've finally got you here! After coming back to his senses, Chen Jiujin held Zhu Qing's hand and was excited.

Zhu Qing put the inkstone back on the desk, nodded, and didn't wait for Chen Jiujin to say hello, he picked up the two teacups on the desk and poured it full of tea, picked up a cup and signaled to Chen Jiujin, and drank it with a grunt.

After drinking it all, Zhu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Chen, the smell of camphor in that bookcase over there is too strong, right?" I almost didn't know how to stun it. ”

After hearing this, Chen Jiujin smiled faintly, "Brother Zhu doesn't know, that bookcase does have a mystery." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Qing wondered.

"Brother, come here, brother, I'll let you see what this mystery is......" Chen Jiujin said, and led Zhu Qing over again.

Zhu Qing covered his nose slightly, watched Chen Jiujin walk to the corner where he was hidden just now, grabbed the camphor wood in the corner with his hand, turned left three times, pulled back, turned right three times, and finally pushed forward. I only heard a "rattle", and the bookcase with a strong camphor smell suddenly moved slowly. After the bookcase was moved, Chen Jiujin took out a key from his waist, walked to the wall, and knocked lightly on the six bricks, and actually took out the bricks at once. After taking out the sixth piece, Chen Jiujin signaled the key to Zhu Qing, put the key into the hole, twisted his wrist slightly, and then there was a "click", and a wall slowly fell, revealing a hole in the door after a while!

"Your secret door is a little chic, it's actually closed from the bottom up." Zhu Qing knew that this was another secret passage, and he didn't care what it looked like, so he joked.

"It's also for the sake of releasing water. Others like to open from the bottom to the top, as soon as the door is opened, once the water is waded on the ground, it will all be poured in, my door is opened from the top down, I can control the height, Ning Yuan raised his foot and went in, and he didn't want to open the door to the ocean. Chen Jiujin said, stroking his not-so-long beard proudly.

After Zhu Qing heard this, he nodded, this Chen Jiujin is really smart. No wonder you're so good at business.

"Excuse me. Raise your heel, brother, go in and have a look......" Chen Jiujin asked Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing hesitated for a moment, what is it here, hidden so secretly, Chen Jiujin still dares to show it to himself?

"Please!" Under Chen Jiujin's guidance, Zhu Qing stepped into the second secret passage in Chen Jiujin's study......
