Chapter 293: Breaking into the Xiao Mansion Alone
"No matter who you save, I'll be with you." Meng Li's eyes were resolute.
"You shall not go with you."
Meng Li's tone was a little raised due to uneasiness: "Why?"
"It's too eye-catching for you to go with you." The reason Mu Yunyi said was indeed very reasonable, after all, there were countless eyes staring at Meng Li in Hyunyin City now.
"This ...... Okay, you wait for me, I'll go back and dress up. Meng Li still didn't give up, and rushed to the entourage outside and said, "Hurry up and return to the official post!" ”
"Ah Li." Mu Yunyi grabbed Meng Li's wrist, calm and with a hint of seriousness: "You believe me, I can go by myself." ”
Of course, Meng Li didn't have any doubts about Mu Yunyi's skill reaction, but he ...... Now that he has accepted the identity of the son of the Taqiu clan, in order to be able to protect Mu Yunyi, how can he see Mu Yunyi in danger alone?
But Mu Yunyi's temperament, he couldn't be clearer, although the tone just now was not harsh, but it also clearly told him: There is no room for negotiation.
Meng Li was helpless, so he had to change the topic first, "Then who is the person you want to save?" ”
"Xiao Ye."
"Xiao Ye? Do you know where he is now? Meng Li was surprised, these days Xiao Ye seems to have disappeared, no one knows where he went, the queen mother and the emperor at the top have never asked, and no one at the bottom of the court dignitaries dares to mention it on the surface, only dare to talk quietly in private, some people say that Xiao Ye was sent to the sea to guard and lead the troops, and some people say that Xiao Ye offended the queen mother and was sent to the border, and some people say that Xiao Ye has been secretly executed at all, although there are different opinions, but everyone believes that Xiao Ye is not currently in Hyun Yin City, but at this moment Mu Yunyi said that he wanted to save Xiao Ye?
"Yes, he's in Hyun Yin City." Mu Yunyi knew Meng Li's doubts, and he didn't sell it, so he answered him bluntly: "It's in the Xiao family's old house." ”
"Is it empowerment?" Meng Li immediately understood that if what Mu Yunyi said was true, it must be inseparable from the exercise of power.
"Yes, I got the news before I entered the palace this morning, and I don't know what method Shi Quan used to imprison Xiao Ye in the Xiao family's old mansion."
When Meng Li heard this, he immediately raised the inappropriateness: "That power is treacherous and cunning, since he imprisoned Xiao Ye, now the Xiao family's old mansion must be guarded like an iron wall inside and out, it is too dangerous for you to save people." ”
"Xiao Ye's absence in Hyunyin City is a false news deliberately spread by Shi Quan, and now everyone is convinced, Shi Quan would not have thought that anyone would know that Xiao Ye is still in Hyun Yin City, or even in his ancestral mansion."
When Meng Li saw Mu Yunyi like this, she knew that she had made all the plans and plans, but even if she couldn't stop her, she had to test it one last time, "Do you have to go?" "After all, this Xiao Ye is not a person under Mu Ting's command.
Mu Yunyi replied almost without thinking: "Yes, you must go." ”
"His position is too delicate, and after being rescued, it is not known whether it will be good or bad." Meng Li furrowed his brows, a little worried.
"I understand that there are too many uncertainties in Xiao Ye's person."
"Now that you know, why do you have to save him at this time, now more is better than less, and you must not make any extraneous branches."
"Yu Gong, Xiao Ye has excellent ability, the Xiao family is the number one military general family in the West Dome, and his influence should not be underestimated, although he has never stood on the side of any force, but I can be sure that he is a loyal general who cherishes the West Dome family and country, this is ...... privately" Mu Yunyi paused, exhaled and continued: "If I can really save him, I don't ask him to appreciate it for my use, but I hope that at least I won't resist Yun Duo in the future." ”
The first reason, Meng Li thought of it, although the Xiao family and Prince Shun's mansion have little personal relationship, but Mu Yunyi, as the daughter of the royal family, does always have the West Dome in her heart, and she has always cherished the virtuous and loyal people, as for the second intention...... Only then did Meng Li understand that Mu Yunyi was desperate to take risks at this juncture for the sake of her younger brother, Mu Yunduo.
According to the plan, if this major event is successful and Mu Ting's whereabouts are still unknown, then Mu Yunduo will become the new monarch of the West Dome. The succession of the new emperor will inevitably be hindered, and Mu Yunyi is paving the way for Mu Yunduo like this, hoping that his road to the new monarch will be smoother.
Mu Yunduo was in the Xia Villa at the beginning, and insisted on going down the mountain to find Mu Yunyi despite the fact that the poison had not healed, and Mu Yunyi had always been willing to sacrifice his life for his younger brother.
In the end, Meng Li asked his entourage to park the carriage in the depths of an inconspicuous alley, and after making sure that there was no one around, Mu Yunyi got up and got out of the carriage alone.
At the moment when she lifted the curtain, Meng Li opened her mouth behind her: "I'm waiting for you to come back at the post house." ”
"Okay."
Although the Xiao family's old mansion is strictly guarded at the moment, for Mu Yunyi, it is not a problem to sneak into it, and the sky is getting dark in the evening, and Mu Yunyi has already seen standing in the shadow of the corner of the corridor.
Before she came, she had already taken the drawings of the inner courtyard of the Xiao Mansion and engraved the layout clearly in her heart, she knew that the Xiao family had a secret room and a secret prison, and after analyzing the topography of the Xiao Mansion, she was sure that the secret prison should be under Xiao Ye's study.
Mu Yunyi dared to break into the Xiao Mansion single-handedly It was not unprepared, now that the Queen Mother was sick, and the little emperor Mu Huan was not in charge of government affairs, he often summoned his cronies and courtiers into the palace to discuss important matters for the country. And when Mu Yunyi left the palace today, he accidentally learned that Shi Quan was announced by the emperor into the palace again, and he was left to have dinner in the palace.
Mu Yunyi approached Xiao Quan's study and was about to put down the guards inside and outside the door, but before he could make a move, he found that several guards at the door had fallen to the ground.
Mu Yunyi was shocked, looked left and right and found that there were no other suspicious people, and stepped forward to probe the snorts of those people, who were already dead, but there was still residual warmth on their bodies, and they should have just died.
"What's going on?" When Mu Yunyi sneaked into the Xiao Mansion just now, there was nothing abnormal in the rest of the courtyard, it seemed that they didn't know what was happening around this study, so who could do it so quietly and without anyone noticing?
Suddenly, Mu Yunyi felt a stirring in his heart: he made a move outside the study, which means that this person is also coming to the Xiao family's secret room, in other words, this person is also coming to Xiao Ye! So does he want to rescue Xiao Ye or kill him......
Without thinking too much, she leaned into the study. The door of Fangcai's study was closed, and the half-lit candle on the table inside flickered and dimmed, at first glance, everything in the room was neat and normal, if it weren't for the fact that a few people at the door were indeed dead, Mu Yunyi even felt that no one had broken in here.
Walking to the inner room, Mu Yunyi found the possible entrance to the secret passage, and the next step was to see how to activate it.
