Chapter 140: The Moon is Black and the Stars Are Rare
Night shrouded the city of Doan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
A shallow moon hung over the dark sky, sparsely dotted with a few stars. The faint light passed through the cracks and leaves of the branches, smearing the trees and buildings on the ground with a dim color, and everything became black, and people wandered in the middle, becoming one with the shadows, and it was difficult to distinguish from each other.
Mao Yong and Ao Bao were dressed in black night clothes and masks, revealing only a pair of eyes, revealing a faint light in the night. They all had swords pinned to their waists.
From the middle of a small alley, the two climbed over the wall into the East Courtyard of the West Gate - that is, the compound of the original Ming Zhu firm, which was familiar to them and was not difficult.
After entering the courtyard wall, the two of them hid behind a tall and towering thick tree, and stretched out their heads to look around to find out the situation.
Ao Bao stretched out his hand and gently touched Mao Yong's arm, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Mao, you see that there are so many guards here, and Miss should be locked up here." You're a little more familiar with this place than I am, and you guess in which building they're going to keep the young lady in? ”
Mao Yong shook his head and sighed lightly: "It's hard to say. There are four buildings, dozens of wings and pavilions, and it is possible to lock people up anywhere. I can't say for sure. It's better for us to look for it building by building. ”
Ao Bao raised his hand and pointed forward, and whispered: "You see that there are lights in the two buildings in the middle, and it is more likely to be locked up in these two buildings." ”
"Makes sense! Let's start with the two buildings in the middle. Mao Yong nodded.
The two crept between the roots of the trees and the rockery to reach the building in the middle.
The east courtyard of the west gate is wide and spacious, and there are four main buildings, all of which are palace-like buildings, and there are countless wings and pavilions, like the stars and the moon, and they stand around the building.
The houses facing the street were dark, and the two buildings in the middle were lit with oil lamps, and the light came through the doors and windows, casting the figures of the family members standing and guarding the doors onto the trees on the far wall, stretching very long, swaying, intermittent, and extinguishing, like a flying phantom.
The two looked at each other and smiled, in fact, in the dark, even if they were face to face, they couldn't see each other's eyes and faces, they just responded to each other by feeling and feeling.
In a few moments they were at the foot of the wall on the west side of the building in the middle. The highest part of this building is five zhang high, and it is the building of the corner type of the cornices hall with two outer and three inner floors. The silhouette of the eaves sticking out of the house is also very conspicuous in the night.
The two of them looked up and took a quick scan of the wall from the foot of the wall to the roof. The wall is a wooden and brick structure, and a tall column stands in the middle of it every less than a zhang away, reaching to the roof and supporting the beams and rafters on the roof.
"I'll go up first!" Ao Leopard wiped his hands, tightened his belt, jumped lightly, jumped more than a man high, hugged the big pillar in the middle, and climbed up to the roof smoothly, more agile than an ape, lighter than a squirrel, and did not make a sound at all.
After going up to the roof, Ao Leopard shook his hand downward. Mao Yong nodded and smiled, replied with a gesture, jumped up, flew up the wall, and then climbed onto the roof.
From the rooftop, the view is more open, and although you can't see too far, you can see the scenery of the courtyard and the condition of the front and back rooms more clearly.
The two buildings are about two hundred steps apart in the middle, and in the middle is a spacious courtyard.
At this time, a few lights came out of the window of the building in front of them, and although they were not very bright, they could see the figure in front of the window shaking.
The two of them found a better position on the corner of the eaves that jutted out, and sat quietly, their eyes looking down at the movement in the window in front of them through the cut-out holes in their masks.
I could only see the figures swaying under the lamps in front of the window, but I couldn't see people.
Suddenly, from inside the building in front of him, there was a sound of talking, although two hundred paces away, but in the silence of the night, any slight sound would be magnified exponentially. So they didn't have to come close to hear the sound clearly.
A male voice rang out, his voice crisp and magnetic, but his tone was full of contempt and impatience: "I don't care about my business!" ”
Followed by another male voice, the voice was immature and crisp: "Hmph, I don't want to care about your business!" But when it comes to Sister Mingyu's affairs, I'm in charge! ”
Magnetic male voice: "Mingyu is my person now, I can do whatever I want, can you control it?" ”
The immature male voice sounded again, and his tone was full of reproach and anger: "You dare to do something to Sister Mingyu, I will never spare you!" ”
Magnetic male voice: "Humph! What can you do with me! ”
At this time, I heard the sound of "pop", as if it was the sound of a palm hitting the face.
"Oops!" The person who was slapped in the face screamed in pain, and then stomped his foot and scolded angrily: "It's the other way around! How dare you hit me! ”
"What's the matter, I'll beat you!" The immature male voice snorted provocatively, "I'm beating a shameless person like you!" ”
"Come on, blast him out of here!" The person who was slapped in the face was obviously covering his face and talking, and his voice was a little urn-like, "In the future, he will not be allowed to come in without my permission!" ”
"Yes!"
After a while, I saw a few people pushing a person out of the house and pushing him out of the building in front of him.
"Ximen Yun! You can't be foolish! The immature male voice was pushed, and his mouth cursed, "If you dare to come nonsense, I will never let you go!" ”
The sound grew farther and thinner, before finally disappearing into the night sky, merging with the silence of the darkness.
"Brother Mao, what's the situation?" Ao Leopard rubbed his ears, as if he didn't believe the words he had just heard.
Mao Yong turned his face to Ao Leopard, lowered his voice and said to Ao Leopard, "From the conversation, it can be heard that the child who was pushed out just now should be Ximen Yu." The one who was beaten should be Ximen Yun. ”
Ao Bao sighed softly: "According to this view, this Ximen Yu still has a good conscience. ”
Mao Yong shook his head and sighed lightly: "Alas, Ximenyu is a good child, but it's a pity that he gave birth to the wrong person." ”
"I always thought that the Ximen Liu family had a nest of snakes and rats, all of them were bad guys, but I didn't expect that there were good people in their family!" Ao Leopard looked up at the crescent moon in the sky and muttered to himself.
Mao Yong patted Ao Leopard's shoulder and smiled, "Human beings are inherently good. Now he is still young and has a clear conscience, but he has been nurtured in such a vicious family environment, and it is difficult to say what will become of him in the future! ”
Ao Leopard squinted at the light moon in the sky, a dark cloud gradually approached the light moon, and after a while, it became obscured by the moon, and the night became darker.
Ao Bao said thoughtfully: "Yes! Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black! I'm also worried about Simon Rain! ”
Mao Yong said lightly: "Hey, why are you bothering about him?" How he changes in the future is his own business. If he becomes good, it is his creation, and if he becomes bad, he will be punished! ”
Ao Leopard nodded, withdrew his gaze from the moonlight, and looked down at the flickering lights in the building opposite, "So it seems that Miss should be in the building in front." Shall we go over and peek in? ”
Mao Yong shook his hand, "It's enough to know which building the young lady is in, you don't have to go over." Besides, where is Ximen Yun, if he is alarmed and strengthens his defense, he may miss the rescue event, which is not good! Let's hear it right here. ”
Suddenly, a soft and complaining female voice came from the front building: "Get out!" (To be continued.) )
