098 Return (5)

After whispering a few words in the third grandmother's ear, the third grandmother's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that such a thing came out of the mouth of the worry-free, and later she understood that it was all for Li Xiang! sighed carefree and affectionate, and then took a bite to Щщщш.. lā

After dinner, the Taishou Mansion was quiet again, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest, at this time Peng Hu slept well, turned over and sat up, his eyes shining with deep light in the dark.

After waiting for a while, he gently came to the door of the house, listened to the movement outside, and waited for the patrolling soldiers in the house to pass by, Peng Hu pulled the door of the house, and his body jumped out violently, and he did not forget to close the door again, and then a harrier turned over and went to the roof, without making a trace of movement.

Don't look at his tall and strong, but his movements are light, I really can't imagine that he has such good light skills.

On the roof, Peng Hu lay down again and did not move, carefully observing the movements of the Taishou Mansion and studying the terrain.

Lying on the roof like this for more than an hour, he was motionless all his life, and this concentration alone was enough.

The lights in the various houses of the Taishou Mansion gradually went out, and occasionally there were one or two lights, all of which were far away, and it was estimated that the families in the mansion got up at night.

Peng Hu moved, he looked at a room in the backyard, flew up and down on the roof, and when he encountered a night watchman passing by, he immediately fell down again, and in a few breaths he had already reached the vicinity of the house.

There were four soldiers patrolling non-stop outside the house, and Peng Hu observed the time of a stick of incense again, and decided to take a detour to the back of the house, but when he arrived at the back of the house, he was dumbfounded.

I don't know how the Taishou Mansion was built before, but behind this row of houses is actually a vacant lot, and several small courtyards are built irregularly around the vacant land, and there is a small door leading to the backyard.

He had planned to approach the room from another room, but now it seemed that the plan would not be carried out, the open space was too big, and he would be discovered as soon as he appeared.

After thinking about it for a while, Peng Hu decided to look for an opportunity to go into the house from the front. Turning back to the front again, he found that there were only two guards left at the door, and the other two did not know where they had gone.

He stabilized his mind and quickly reached the roof of the target, hooked his feet to the eaves, leaned backwards, and pressed his hands on the edge of the window, and the whole person quickly turned over and down, and stood there close to the edge of the window.

At this time, the other two patrols turned around, and the two of them nodded and continued to walk to the other side. Peng Hu stuck to the edge of the window, waiting for the patrol to pass again, then slowly took out a very thin dagger from his belt with his hand, inserted it horizontally into the crack of the window above the window edge, and gently flicked it left and right, with an extremely faint click, and the wooden wedge on the window was picked open by him.

Peng Hu didn't go in immediately, but pulled the window out a little and looked into the room through the crack. It was dark in the room, but Peng Hu's eyesight was excellent, and there were only two tall bookshelves, a long desk and a few chairs in the whole room, and nothing else.

Taking a deep breath and seeing the patrolling soldier walk in front of him for the second time, Peng Hu quickly opened the window, lightly rolled into the house, and easily restored the window to a closed state. It was only because of the wedge that there was a small movement.

The soldiers outside immediately found the source of the sound, and the four of them all approached closely, and they were about to reach out to check the window. The four soldiers were immediately relieved, it turned out to be a night cat making trouble, looked at each other, and went on patrol again.

It's dangerous! Peng Hu could hear the sound of his heartbeat, and secretly sighed that his ability was really a little rusty, thinking that even if he entered the palace of Emperor Yang of Sui, he was like walking on the ground, but today he almost missed here, and he must practice hard after going back.

The most dangerous time passed, Peng Hu stabilized a little, and began to search the house. In fact, Song Zixian sent him for two purposes, one is that if he cooperates with him without worry and agrees to his conditions, then it is easy to say anything, even if it costs a little silver, as long as the two Maitreya Buddha statues can be taken back smoothly.

Second, if Wuwu doesn't cooperate, then he can only ask Peng Hu to continue his old business and steal the two Maitreya Buddhas.

Peng Hu was a master of empty hands when he was young, and he was the number one person in their circle. It's just that he followed Song Zixian later, and there is not much use for it, so he turned his craft to practice martial arts.

Today's carefree attitude during the day let Peng Hu know that this matter cannot be solved if it is estimated that it cannot be solved by negotiation, and it is better to repeat the old trick and simply steal it.

So he didn't see Gao Shilian and the others during the day, and he fell asleep by himself, in order to make it easier to move at night.

In fact, he had already made preparations before he came, and he carried two identical Maitreya Buddha statues on his body, ready to steal beams and change pillars.

I just observed the situation of the Taishou Mansion, since Li Xiang felt that the two Buddha statues were treasures, he would definitely send people to guard them, but what made him depressed was that there were very few soldiers patrolling in the huge Taishou Mansion, and there were only a dozen people at night, and they were all mobile sentinels, and they were not fixed at all.

In this case, it will be difficult to find a place where Maitreya Buddha is hidden.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after waiting for nearly an hour, he finally found that there were now four soldiers standing guard at the door of this room, which was definitely heavily guarded compared to other rooms. That's why he ventured into the house.

But what made him strange was that there were two large bookshelves in the room, but there were not many books, and the tables were empty, there was nothing, and the whole room was like a storeroom that had been emptied.

He didn't need to look for it at all, and it was obvious that this place couldn't be a house where things were hidden.

Peng Hu, who calmed down, thought about it for a long time, it was still not right, there were four soldiers guarding here outside, it was impossible to guard an empty house, there must be something wrong with this room!

Thinking of this, Peng Hu carefully observed the furnishings in the room, which was no different from the ordinary study, but there was always something wrong. I touched the table with my hand, and suddenly I thought of something. I put my hand in front of my eyes and looked at it carefully, and there was no dust, indicating that this room was often cleaned. That shows that this is where it is more important.

At this time, Peng Hu had confidence and began to rummage in the house inch by inch, slowly looking for any hidden passages on the wall. Finally, between the two books on the bookshelf, Peng Hu found a small button, probably to open the mechanism of the secret passage.

He didn't touch it easily, the thieves all know some tricks, and a mechanism like this that doesn't know the situation always needs to be studied before daring to start it.

Peng Hu was worried that the button would make a loud sound when the mechanism was activated, which would attract the soldiers outside, and he was also worried that after the mechanism was opened, something like a hidden weapon trap would be set off, which would make him dangerous.

After thinking about it for a while, he still made a careful decision to deal with the four soldiers outside the house first. With an idea, he approached the door and listened carefully to what was going on outside. What made him strange was that the four soldiers outside didn't know when they were gone.

He thought he had gone to patrol somewhere, and after waiting for a long time and still not coming back, Peng Hu was dizzy, what the hell was going on?

Shouldn't these four lives be killed?

No, it's better to be careful. He waited for a stick of incense again, but there was still no movement of the four of them. Can't wait any longer, it'll be dawn any longer.

He decided to activate the mechanism now. Turning around, he threw the dagger in his hand directly out and touched the mechanism, and he himself quickly drilled under the desk the moment the dagger was released, in case a hidden weapon shot out after the mechanism was opened.

The button was knocked down, and then there was a crunch, and the two bookshelves slowly opened from the middle to the sides, and there was no imaginary hidden weapon coming out.

After the bookshelf was opened and stopped, Peng Hu waited for a while to confirm that it was really safe, and then he got up and walked towards the newly appeared secret door.

I don't know how deep the secret door is, but I can judge by the sound of footsteps that this should be a closed place, Peng Hu is worried that the secret door will close after he enters, and he can't find the button to get out for a while, so he put the dagger just now horizontally on the ground between the two bookshelves, so that even if the secret door is closed, it will be stuck by the dagger, leaving room for a person to go out sideways.

After everything was done, Peng Hu cautiously entered the secret door.

Behind the secret door is a passage of stone steps downward, and the walls on both sides of the passage are lit with pine oil lamps, which must be frequented here.

Walking down the stone steps slowly, Peng Hu felt an abnormality in his heart, why didn't this look like a place to hide things, but like a private cell?

Before he could finish thinking about it, he felt a gust of wind howling behind him, and with his years of experience, he knew that it was discovered and had attacked him. And this wind sounds definitely not something that a low hand can make.

To be on the safe side, he decided to dodge first, and then turn around to see how many people there were. Footsteps leaned forward, waist eyes rubbed hard and jumped three short distances to the front, just landed, I heard the person behind him make a "huh" sound, obviously a little surprised by his light skills.

Peng Hu had time to turn around and look at the person who attacked him, the black light was blind, and he could only see the general outline, this person was not tall, not fat or thin, and he was actually holding a handful of dust whisks in his hand, no wonder the wind was so loud just now.

Now is not the time to study this, since it has been discovered, there are only two results, either you will be caught, or you will defeat him, and you will quickly find Maitreya Buddha and go out.

He chose the second option!
