Chapter 22 Secret Path, Madame Treasures
This trip to Shen Mansion, Du Mi did not bring spring flowers.
Although Chunhua grew up with her when she was young, she accompanied her to catch fish and shrimp in the trees and rivers, but she didn't accompany her to practice fighting, resulting in Chunhua still being a powerless woman, and waiting for her to go will only increase the burden.
She went to the Shen Mansion alone.
Before almost being bumped apart, she rushed to the street where the Shen Mansion was located, turned over, dismounted, and tied the horse to a tea shop at the corner of the street.
Xiao Er thought about it for a while, and then said, "Yes, yes! I guess I went in for more than two hours. β
More than two hours?
Didn't she go in after she had slipped out?
Du Mi hurriedly asked, "Then did you see him come out?" β
"I haven't seen it before."
Du Mi's eyebrows jumped, and her heart suddenly panicked, "Are you sure?" β
Xiao Er smiled, "It's not good to say, Xiao Er's job has to have the eyesight to watch people get off the plate, so how can I be wrong, I can't be wrong!" β
As soon as Xiao Er's words fell, he saw Du Mi running all the way towards the Shen Mansion with his legs.
Xiao Er didn't know what was important, but he smiled at Du Mi's back and shook his head, "Now the girl in Chuzhou is getting more and more frizzy." β
Du Mi's temperament is frizzy or not, she doesn't care about herself, she only knows that she is going to die in a hurry right now.
Li Mu entered the Shen Mansion for more than two hours and did not come out, he didn't believe that Li Mu would be so speculative with the people in the Shen Mansion, and if he could stay for such a long time, something must have happened.
But Li Mu is extraordinary, most of the guards in the Shen Mansion are scattered, if it is really tough, Li Mu will not lose.
But the Shen family is a medicinal herb merchant, and people who talk about yin are unguardable!
Du Mi was afraid that Li Mu would be injured a little, and he wanted to count the injury on Jiang Hou's head, so he was very anxious, and he was less cautious between actions.
On the way to the Shen Mansion, she thought twice about where to start after entering the Shen Mansion.
In the huge Shen Mansion, she was scurrying around like a headless fly, afraid that she would be found before she found Li Mu. After several considerations, she still slipped into Shen Changfeng's courtyard.
First, she didn't understand what Shen Changfeng's actions in the Jiang Mansion that day meant.
The second is that in the entire Shen Mansion, she can't find a second person who can start.
She cated outside the courtyard wall for a while, and finally waited until Changsheng and the others came out of the bedroom, and then gently pushed the door and flashed into the house.
The room was pitch black, and Shen Changfeng should have fallen asleep with the lights out.
Du Mi was about to tiptoe to the bedside, when suddenly a beating flame lit up in the corner of the room, and behind the flickering flames there was a pale face.
Du Mi's eyes widened and she screamed, "Ahhh
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough to hurriedly cover her mouth with her hand before the sound dispersed.
Shen Changfeng walked to the round table with the fire fold, bent down, lit the candlestick, and then straightened his waist, and looked at the woman standing at the door with a frightened little face, and said in an easy-going tone, "Madam, are you coming back to get this thing?" β
With that, he took something out of his sleeve and gently placed it on the round table.
Du Mi was so frightened by him that she almost went out of her body, and after seeing the scary face clearly, she stroked her chest and kept panting, not putting her mind on Shen Changfeng at all, and said angrily: "I'm coming back to find you!" Andβfrom today onwards, after you order Changsheng to tie me up, I will not be your wife, and the book will be sent from Jiang's mansion in the near future. β
After hearing this, Shen Changfeng only smiled slightly.
He tilted his head slightly, exhaled lightly, and blew out the fire.
As if the smoke had choked him, he coughed several times before stopping, and his voice was slightly panting: "Since I didn't come for this thing, I'm afraid that Madame is forβ" He sat down slowly with his hands on the table, and spit out a few words lightly, "Your lord is here." β
Du Mi looked at him in astonishment.
"Is he really trapped in the mansion by you?" Du Mi couldn't believe it, walked two steps to the round table, and his eyebrows twisted: "Your father trapped him?" Stuck where? How did you trap him? β
She asked again and again, her tone full of nervousness.
Shen Changfeng raised his eyes, and his eyes were lifeless: "Madame cares about an outsider like this, it's really jealous for her husband." β
After getting along for the past few days, Du Mi has long been accustomed to his oily and smooth temperament.
It was only at this moment that when she heard this, she felt a little angry in her heart for no reason, and said angrily: "Do you know who he is? Your Shen family is doing this-"
In Du Mi's questioning, Shen Changfeng suddenly laughed.
The weird laughter made Du Mi stop.
"The son of the current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a capital crime to disrespect the royal family, and the unauthorized seizure and murder of the royal family is a capital crime for the nine clans." Shen Changfeng said this sentence very blandly.
There was a dead silence in the room.
The silent breath seems to be a pair of hands that are holding the lifeblood of a person.
"So you really all know......" Du Mi was terrified by the crazy facts she knew, what a crazy family she was facing, "why do you do this when you know it!" It won't work out at this point! You-you Shen Mansion are destined to pay the price! β
Her voice trembled slightly.
Shen Changfeng, who had been calm all the time, suddenly shouted again, "No! β
The voice was so sudden, like a sudden outburst of emotion that a person had suppressed in his heart for a long time.
Suddenly exploded in this dark room.
Du Mi shook his shoulders in fright, and looked at Shen Changfeng with some surprise.
In the past few days, she had never seen Shen Changfeng have such a clear and angry tone, he was always lifeless and gentle, even when he was laughing, he was as calm and gentle as a pool of stagnant water.
Shen Changfeng's eyes were full of emotion, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the dagger on the table: "If someone hadn't ordered the Shen family to marry you, the Shen family would never have failed!" β
If she didn't enter the Shen family, the Shen family would not fail......
What does that mean?
Du Mi listened to his words, although he didn't understand what he meant, but these words only sounded shocking. When she wanted to ask, there was the sound of Suosuo's footsteps outside the door, and the servant's inquiry voice sounded through the door: "Young Master, is there anyone in your room?" β
It wasn't Changsheng who came to ask questions.
Candles are lit in the house, and the candle flame tends to cast a figure on the window paper, and the attentive person can tell at a glance that there is more than one person in the house.
Du Mi was afraid that Shen Changfeng, who was uncertain, would betray her, so she swept her eyes around, and a touch of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes when she saw the dagger on the table.
She stretched out her arm and clasped the dagger.
He quickly moved a few steps behind Shen Changfeng, pressed the tip of the dagger against his waist and abdomen with one hand, and threatened: "If you dare to say me, I will kill you immediately!" β
There was no reply in the room for a long time, which provoked the subordinate outside the door to ask: "Young master? β
The sound of footsteps approached the door, and the people outside the door faintly showed signs of opening the door.
Du Mi was flustered, his subordinates were getting harder and harder, and when he was about to urge him, Shen Changfeng was not afraid of her holding a dagger against her, clasping her arm with his big hand, and dragging her directly to the corner of the room.
The urging voice outside the door sounded once, "Young Master? β
Du Mi struggled and asked in a suppressed voice, "What do you want to do!" β
Although Shen Changfeng was sick and weak, he didn't know why his strength was so great that she couldn't struggle, and when the sound outside the door sounded again, Shen Changfeng's hand pushed it inside on a brick slab in the corner of the wall, and a bluestone slab under his feet sank impressively, revealing a downward tunnel under the faint candle flame in the room!
The tunnel descended up the stairs, very deep, and the air inside was humid and cold, making her shiver unconsciously.
Before Du Mi could react to the meaning of this move, he was pushed coldly behind him.
She happened to be standing in front of the tunnel, and after being pushed, her body was unstable, and she actually fell straight into the tunnel!
"What the hellβ"
She burst into fright.
"Shen Changfengβ"
She turned her head to look at the person standing above, only to see his thin back with his back to her, and when the bluestone slab slowly closed, a weak voice came from above, "Turn right at the second crossing." Precious, ma'am. β
The last four words, he said so gently.
The gentleness made Du Mi even lose her body, and the pain under her was forgotten in an instant.
"Da!"
The bluestone slab closed, completely cutting off his back.
Then there was the sound of two objects falling to the ground.
It's just that the tunnel is going down the stairs, she rolls down and sits on the steps at this time, and the tunnel is black and rumbling and she can't see her five fingers, her eyes can't see, so she can only grope with her hands step by step, until she touches a slightly hot object, she is happy in her heart-
The movements of the hands are very skillful and polish the fire fold.
The flames were faint, but they were enough to illuminate the ground beneath her feet.
She found the dagger that was thrown down by Shen Changfeng again, she looked down at the dagger lying in the palm of her hand, but the taste in her heart was subtle.
She......
I don't want to think about it, whether I blame someone wrong.
Is it to blame the wrong person?
After thinking about it, she immediately shook her head, driving all the speculation out of her head, this is not the time to dwell on these, rescuing Li Mu is the most important thing.
After rescuing Li Mu and questioning the Shen family, everything can be revealed.
After Du Mi adjusted his mood, he walked according to the path Shen Changfeng said.
She should be in the secret passage built by the Shen family for refuge, but the secret passage of the General's Mansion is not so complicated, it can be imagined that the Shen family is weak in heart, so they will put so much effort into the secret passage.
Du Mi's feet were very fast, and he walked very quickly in the long and narrow passage, which was extremely narrow, and could only allow three people to pass side by side.
The front and back were pitch black, and only the sound of her footsteps was infinitely amplified in the passage.
Shen Changfeng dared to push her down, it must have been because there was no one in the tunnel, but she didn't dare to rub it off, and almost trotted all the way to the second crossing he said.
After turning right, I entered another passage, but there was only a wall at the end of the passage.
Du Mi took a step back and looked for the candle flame on the stone wall, she didn't have hope, after all, the entrance to the dark room would not be so easy to find, but she saw a small knife mark on a brick.
She pulled out the dagger she had tucked up her sleeve and drew its blade.
Rubbing the surface of the knife with his index finger, he rubbed it with his thumb and index finger, and the stone powder was twisted between the fingertips.
