Chapter 31: Accidental Exposure
The square courtyard is divided into the main house and the houses on the left and right, the main house is where the head of the Sol family lives, and it is also the first place that Sun Tian enters. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was a lock hanging on the door of the main house, and Sun Tian, who had long considered this situation, took out two small metal rods and inserted them into the door lock, and held the metal rods with both hands and said goodbye abruptly.
Syllable! There was a soft sound as the door lock was opened, a slight sound that seemed a little sudden in the quiet environment.
Sun Tian walked to the gate of the courtyard and leaned on the crack of the door to look at the light at the small pavilion in front of him, two shadowy figures were still sitting there, and the light sound did not alarm them.
Gently pushing the door of the main house open a crack, Sun Tian flashed in and then turned to close the door.
There was no light in the room, and it was really impossible to see the five fingers.
Sun Tian took off the backpack behind him, fumbled to open it, and took out a fist-sized box from the backpack.
After fiddling with the box a few times, a beam of light suddenly emitted from Sun Tian's hand and shone on the ground in the room.
This is a 'flashlight' that Sun Tian assembled himself, first a small box that can just hold the magic illumination stone, and then digging a small round hole the size of a thumb in the box.
After putting the lighting stone into the box, the light of the lighting stone will shine through a round hole the size of a thumb, so that it will not be easily noticed, and when not in use, you can seal the small hole in the box with something.
With a flashlight, Sun Tian doesn't have to search in the dark, and he is not afraid of bumping into something and making a sound.
After scanning around with a flashlight, Sun Tian found that this was a living room and dining room, with a large area of nearly fifty square meters.
The topographic map provided by Ah Shui did not have any annotations on the interior of the main house, so Sun Tian could only search every room.
There shouldn't be any money hidden in the living room, only the bottles and cans and a few paintings hanging on the wall, but Sun Tian didn't understand these and couldn't judge which ones were valuable.
The things in the living room did not move for the time being, Sun Tian walked into the room on the right side of the main house, this is a bedroom, the decoration is very simple, but both the furniture and the items on display reveal a low-key luxury.
This room is likely to be the bedroom of the head of the Sol family, and the bedroom is usually a place to hide money, starting with the cupboard at the head of the bed, and opening each cabinet to fumble around.
Whether it is money or jewelry, as long as they are found in the backpack, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, and even knocking on the bed to see if there is a mezzanine, only to find a money bag in a drawer, which contains a dozen gold coins.
Checking the money bag, Sun Tian smiled bitterly, at least this time he will not lose money.
Walking out of the bedroom, through the living room, to the room on the left side of the main room, I pushed the door and entered, only to find that it was a study, and four or five bookshelves were full of books.
Obviously, it was impossible to hide money here, so Sun Tian simply looked for it and gave up.
There is nothing to gain from the first floor, so he can only go up to the second floor, but Sun Tian has a hunch that at least tonight here in the Sol family may have to return in vain, maybe he will have to go to the mansions of the two nobles next to him.
Follow the stairs of the living room to the second floor, where there are four rooms in total, all four of which are bedrooms, and all of them are women's bedrooms.
They searched one by one and found nothing, not to mention the gold coins or even a piece of jewelry, apparently they were well prepared and packed up before leaving.
This situation made Sun Tian scratch his head a little, although he had thought about this possibility before, but it was still a little uncomfortable to really appear.
Smack! A faint voice suddenly sounded.
Well! Sun Tian suddenly stopped all movements, covered the light of the flashlight with his hand, stood still and listened, but heard nothing.
Is it a delusion? Sun Tian was a little skeptical.
Squeak! The sound of the door opening told him it wasn't a delusion.
Through the window of the room, I saw a light coming in through the courtyard door, and then there was the sound of footsteps.
Could it be the guards of the night watch who came to patrol?
Worst! Sun Tian suddenly sounded that the lock that he had picked off was thrown next to the door of the main house, and the lock of the door that should have been locked was gone, which can be found by a little serious inspection.
Sun Tian pushed the window open a crack slightly, and through the gap he found that it was not as simple as a vigil patrol, and six fully armed guards carried magic lamps into the courtyard.
Behind the six guards there were two more people, a middle-aged man in fine armor, of medium height, with a slightly handsome face under his short black hair, but his tense face and a hint of worry between his eyebrows looked preoccupied.
The other is an old man dressed in a strong suit holding a war knife, some emaciated bodies seem to be able to be blown down by a gust of wind at any time, although he is old, his face is ruddy without a trace of wrinkles, and his long hair is neatly combed, which looks very energetic.
Six guards stood at the foot of the steps of the main house's main door, and the other two stood a little farther away, apparently spotting an intruder.
It's been discovered!
Sun Tian couldn't figure out where he was showing his horse's feet and alarming the guards.
But now is not the time to think about this, what to think about is how to break through.
Fortunately, the guards didn't rush in directly, giving him time to prepare, probably they didn't expect the intruder to be such a master as themselves.
In Sun Tian's opinion, those heavily armed and menacing guards were stronger than those apprentices of the Four Seas Martial Arts Pavilion Liu Pavilion Master, and at most they were first-class warriors, so they didn't cause him much trouble.
The middle-aged man in exquisite armor should be a member of the Thor family, his combat power is inferior to the six guards, the only thing Sun Tian can't see through is the old man with the battle knife, it is likely to be the top combat power of the Thor family, a two- or third-level warrior.
If there were only guards or that old man, Sun Tian's only choice was to break through and leave, and by the way, ransack the two noble mansions next to him, but the addition of someone who was suspected to be a member of the Sol family gave Sun Tian another choice.
Capture him, hold him hostage, and threaten him for ransom.
As soon as various thoughts flashed through his mind, Sun Tian decided to try to catch the middle-aged man first, and if there was a lot of resistance, he would break through directly.
After making up his mind, Sun Tian put away his flashlight and walked downstairs gently, standing behind the door of the main house, ready to launch a surprise attack.
Tearing off the black cloth wrapped around the iron sword, he remembered where the six guards stood outside the door.
Sun Tian raised his right foot and kicked heavily on the right side of the door, bang! The door panel suddenly flew out and slammed into the door.
Sun Tian jumped out of the door and rushed to the guards standing on the left.
The flying door panel slammed into the two guards, disrupting their encirclement and attracting everyone's attention.
From a distance of several meters, he rushed in front of one of the guards in two or three steps, and slashed at the guard's chest with a sword.
Bang! The sword was blocked by the armor on the guard, but the guard was slashed away by the force of the sword, and he retracted his sword and kicked a guard who rushed at him with his sword.
The encirclement laid by the six guards was beaten by Sun Tian in two or three strokes.
Breaking through the encirclement, Sun Tian rushed towards the middle-aged man with his sword in his hand, while staring closely at the old man holding the sword.
"Uncle Zhong still asks him to spare his life, he still has some effect?" Suddenly, the middle-aged man said hurriedly, but the words he said surprised Sun Tian.
Before the words fell, he saw that the old man holding the war knife suddenly moved, and for a moment in front of him, Sun Tian was suddenly lifted by someone by one hand around his neck, leaving only his toes still touching the ground.
Sun Tian, who was shocked by this scene, forgot to breathe, the hand holding his neck could break his neck at any time, and his life and death were already in the hands of others.
How so? How could the Thor family have such a master, even if he met a fourth- or fifth-level warrior, it was impossible for him to be powerless.
Could it be that person? How can it be?
