Chapter 109: One More Move

Dugu Aoxue's mansion is very large, but it seems that there are few servants. It's not too late, but it's already time to turn off the lights and rest. Ye Sheng was lying on top of the mansion gate, looking at the fact that there were only a few lanterns lit in the courtyard of Dugu Aoxue, which was a little deserted, and he couldn't help but wonder, could this Dugu Aoxue be very poor?

Flying into the courtyard, Ye Sheng didn't see much of the courtyard, and after a small turn in the courtyard like a flying breeze, after finding Dugu Aoxue's door, Ye Sheng stood outside the door and knocked lightly three times, but no one responded. Could it be that you're already asleep? Then this vigilance is too bad.

After all, it was an uninvited guest, Ye Sheng still had to be a little polite, and knocked on the door three more times with heavy force, but there was still no response in the dim room. Ye Sheng frowned impatiently, pushed the door in, was in the dark room, clasped his hands into fists and said, "I took the liberty to visit, I just want to talk to the Dugu City Lord, about Tang Yan'......"

There was no movement in the room, not only that, but Ye Sheng felt that there seemed to be no one lying on the bed, and there was a sound of needles falling in the room, not like someone was sleeping. Ye Sheng frowned, approached lightly, and vaguely saw only an empty wooden bed. What about people? I didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, and I ran outside to wander around!

Being in Dugu Aoxue's room, Ye Sheng couldn't help but stretch out his hand and grope for a while, wanting to find something valuable and precious. Dugu Aoxue, as the lord of a city, has a lot of family, and he must not care about losing a few thousand taels! Dugu Aoxue's bedroom is very clean, just like his face, white and spotless.

Not only did Ye Sheng not find any messy and messy place, but he also didn't find a penny, he was very disappointed to stay in this dark room, Ye Sheng looked up at the calligraphy and painting on the wall, a hundred birds and a phoenix, although I don't know who painted it, but I'm afraid it's the only thing of value, right?

Ye Sheng raised his hand to take off the painting, but he didn't expect the painting to be stuck on the wall, Ye Sheng's wrist twisted hard, and the painting was not taken off, but he accidentally touched the mechanism to open a secret door. The wall behind the painting swells, and when the scroll is crooked, the seemingly solid wall tilts open a gap. Ye Sheng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect his luck to be so good, could it be that he opened the door of Dugu Aoxue's private small vault crookedly?

Ye Sheng probed in, glanced down the steps along the gap in the secret door, and after feeling that there was no danger, he squeezed into the secret door and walked down the steps step by step. The ground was shady, Ye Sheng frowned a little uncomfortably, and then exhaled a breath of hot air and stepped on the ground.

In front of him was a long corridor with an oil lamp lit every ten steps. Although he didn't know where to lead, Ye Sheng was bold and tiptoed forward. Compared with the intricate secret passages under the Phoenix Mountain of the Ming Sect, the secret passages in this Dugu Aoxue room are much simpler and safer.

The hallway was short, and after fifty paces came to the end and came across a closed stone door. Ye Sheng first carefully lay on the stone door and listened for a while, and after not hearing any signs of people, he pushed the stone door with both palms to slowly open. Click, the stone door opened from the outside to the inside, and Ye Sheng was not used to the darkness in the secret room. When he looked closely, he found that in the dim stone house, there was a pair of bright eyes staring at him expressionlessly.

Ye Sheng was startled, and his figure immediately jumped out, and he couldn't wait to go towards the exit. Rumble! Touching the mechanism, the stone door closed in response, and Ye Sheng suddenly had no way out. Leaning nervously on the cold stone door, Ye Sheng turned his head to look, and saw that the light of those eyes still fell on him, Ye Sheng laughed dryly, and hurriedly clenched his fists and asked, "I sleepwalked in the second half of the night, and I came here unconsciously, dare to ask Brother Tai where is this?" ”

"Did Tang Yan teach you this excuse? It's stupid and unbelievable! The voice of the person sitting in the darkness was powerful and low, Ye Sheng heard it sincerely, and immediately recognized the person, hurriedly bent down and clenched his fists, and said politely, "It turned out to be the Dugu City Lord." "There is about to have a severe competition with Ji Wu, and it is naturally impossible for Dugu Aoxue to sleep tonight. He was in the secret room and was about to retreat and cultivate, but he didn't expect a rat to run in.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Dugu Aoxue stared at Ye Sheng's vague figure in the corner with an indifferent face, and said, "You came to harm me in the middle of the night?" Ye Sheng hurriedly smiled and shook his head, this Dugu Aoxue has a good temper, if he were someone else, he would have been killed the moment he broke in.

"The Dugu City Lord has misunderstood, in Xia Ye Sheng, this time I came to do it for the Dugu City Lord, but not to harm you." Ye Sheng patted the black belt tied to his clothes, "There is only a black belt martial arts person below, how can he have the ability to harm the Dugu City Lord." ”

"You're here on Tang Yan's orders?" Dugu Aoxue sat in the same place and never moved, the two were in the dark room, they couldn't see each other completely, and they were dangerous but safe. In this way, Dugu Aoxue was sure that she would be able to kill Ye Sheng with her backhand at the first time, "Or do you have anything to bring?" Zai Xia didn't plan to get involved in the affairs of the imperial court, let Tang Yan die. ”

"Dugu City Lord guessed wrong again." Seeing that there was no danger to his life, Ye Sheng's waist straightened, and he spoke much more calmly, "In the next day, King Lu doesn't know, it's all in the next person's meaning." Dugu Aoxue stared at Ye Sheng at the stone gate without blinking, the two were ten steps apart, Dugu Aoxue was completely sure that he could kill Ye Sheng with a sword, but now, he wanted to wait and listen, "You and I met for the first time today, I don't know if there is anything you need to sneak into my mansion in the middle of the night to tell me?" ”

Ye Sheng smiled, touched his nose and said, "Dugu City Lord's swordsmanship is rare in the world, even if he can't compete with Na Ji, he will definitely win." "It's nature." Dugu Aoxue raised his eyebrows, "If you have something to say, don't beat around the bush!" ”

"If it's just a pure contest between the Dugu City Lord and Ji Wuli, the Dugu City Lord will definitely win. But in today's matter, the Dugu City Lord has one less person, and that is Tang Yan, the king of Lu. Ye Sheng clenched his fists with both hands, completely exposing his bare hands in front of Dugu Aoxue, "I heard from King Lu that the imperial court wants to increase efforts to rectify the rivers and lakes and subdue the martial arts, Chen Feng is the first martyr to disobey, and the Dugu City Lord is obviously the second person, the times are coming, under the suppression of the imperial court, the Dugu City Lord thinks that his own strength can shake the imperial court?" ”

Ye Sheng stared at Dugu Aoxue and said word by word, "Even if the Dugu City Lord is a noble person and cleans himself, what about the subordinates in the Dugu City Lord's Mansion who have served for many years? They are just ordinary people, as long as they give some money, they may be able to sell their ass and their lives, so if the Dugu City Lord is powerless against King Lu and Ji, he has no chance of winning! ”

"You mean, Tang Yan wants to bribe the people in my mansion to poison me?" Dugu Aoxue raised his mouth and smiled, in the dimness, Ye Sheng could see his white teeth, "I have already thought of this, and I am also ready to watch out." You went to great lengths to sneak into my mansion and into my secret chamber just to tell me about it? ”

"...... "So tonight was a waste of energy?" Ye Sheng's face was unnatural, too, since people can become city lords, they naturally have different thinking and skills, and they came here to make smart advice to others, which is undoubtedly to take off their pants and fart - it's just a big move!
