Shi Quan walked out of the Xiao Mansion generously and got into a carriage. Exercising power is an abandoned son for Empress Dowager Xi, and Empress Dowager Xi will naturally give Xiao Ye this favor - let him handle the power by himself. So although there are now Empress Dowager Xi's people staring inside and outside the Xiao Mansion, seeing that Shi Quan is leaving like this, they did not show up to stop it, after all, their goal is to ensure that Xiao Ye's every move is in full view.

Xiao Ye stood beside the carriage and secretly told the old steward, "Send a few capable people to send him out of the city." ”

"I'll tell a few of them to force the words out." The old steward asked.

"If he wants to say it, he can say it, or if he doesn't say it, just let our people come back."

The old steward was surprised, Xiao Ye released his power this time, it was nothing more than because of Rong Yue, how could he appear "That Rong Yue girl is ......"

But when he saw the undoubted gaze in Xiao Ye's eyes, he didn't say much, and bowed down to say yes.

Xiao Ye watched the carriage until it disappeared at the end of the alley...... Since Shi Quan has betrayed Xiao Ye, even if he lets him go as promised, he may not tell him where Rong Yue is according to the agreement, and as Shi Quan said, Rong Yue is willing to be arrested in order to see him, then she should be in Hyun Yin City.

In fact, when Shi Quan said that Rong Yue was in his hands, Xiao Ye's heart had already calculated a few places where Rong Yue might be trapped, and letting Shi Quan go at this moment was just to make him take it lightly, so as to buy himself time to find Rong Yue.

Although Xiao Ye no longer dares to say that he can see through the exercise of power, after all, he has followed him for decades, and Xiao Ye knows a fatal point in him - the gambler character. As long as you want to do anything, you will dye your hands, and enjoy the joy of the winner with a small profit.

It can be said that there have been countless times, Shi Quan has made great contributions because of this gambler's character, and he has also failed several times.

And this time, Rong Yue is the talisman of power, and power will inevitably control her within the scope of her control, so Rong Yue should really be in Hyun Yin City. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, so ...... Xiao Ye looked up at the north side of Hyun Yin City, in the direction of the Xiao family's old mansion.

Just after night, Xiao Ye, who was dressed in black, came to the outside of the old mansion. This house is the mansion given to the Xiao family by Emperor Wanxian, covering a huge area, close to the imperial city, not to mention, the courtyard decoration and ornaments inside are even more luxurious, this was originally a symbol of status, but it is a burden for Xiao Ye, who leads troops and fights on the battlefield all the year round. One is that Xiao Ye has never had a family, so there is no hostess to manage the inner house, even if there is an old housekeeper to take care of the mansion, but Xiao Ye is always troubled by the things in the house, and the other is that the old house is in the north of the city, and the distance is not close to the military camp in the southern suburbs, and it is very inconvenient for Xiao Ye to travel back and forth between the house and the outside of the city.

So Xiao Ye bought a house in the south of the city, although it was not as luxurious and luxurious as the old house, Xiao Ye lived more comfortably. After moving to the new mansion, some old people in the mansion were left behind in the old mansion, and then Xiao Ye rarely asked about the old mansion, and now it seems that the nominal Xiao family's old mansion is actually completely outside Xiao Ye's control.

Xiao Ye didn't want to startle the snake, so he found a corner door and sneaked in.

Looking at the familiar old mansion, Xiao Ye smiled bitterly and helplessly in his heart, he never thought that one day, he would return to the Xiao family's old mansion but he would have to be so cautious and sneaky.

Pacing in the shadows, although the scene is the same as before, the surrounding atmosphere is so unfamiliar, Xiao Ye expected it to be good, and now the "lining" of this old mansion has been completely controlled by others.

But it's no wonder that others, Xiao Ye blamed himself, in the end, he was dedicated to the court and the barracks, and after moving to the south mansion, he was negligent about the old mansion, so he was able to let Shi Quan use the old mansion for his own use.

If Rong Yue is really locked up here, then she must be in the secret room.

There are more or less little-known secret grids or dark rooms in the mansions of the nobles of the Gaomen to hide the secrets or heirlooms in the family, and the old mansion of the Xiao family is no exception.

The entrance to the secret room of the Xiao Mansion is in Xiao Ye's study, this secret room was originally used by Xiao Ye's grandfather to collect heirloom weapons and the art of war, and after Xiao Ye inherited the Xiao Mansion, he kept the secret room, and added a passage that one person could pass through, and the end led to a more hidden secret room, and here Xiao Ye used to imprison key people. If it is not easy to deal with it clearly or there is key information, Xiao Ye will activate this secret room.

And this secret room, apart from him and the old steward, is only known to Shi Quan.

If you want to enter the secret room at this moment, it will naturally not work to enter from the study, and Shi Quan should have sent a lot of people to monitor it, but about that secret room, there are also things that Shi Quan does not know - there is also a passage under the floor tiles in the north corner of the secret room, which leads directly to the Xiao family ancestral hall.

This was originally repaired by Xiao Ye later as a precaution, and even the old steward didn't know about it, but now it has become the key to saving Rong Yue.

Perhaps the ancestral hall of the Xiao family enshrines the tablets of the loyal souls of the generals of the Xiao family, so this ancestral hall always faintly exudes a shocking spirit, except for the people who come to clean in the morning, the people in the house rarely take the initiative to approach here.

Xiao Ye entered the ancestral hall in the dark, and was often punished by his father to kneel here when he was a child, so he was very familiar with every brick and tile of the ancestral hall. Jing walked to the side of the tablet incense case, and easily found the key wall tile.

"Knock, knock."

Knocked three times on the wall brick according to the law, a floor tile in front of him collapsed, and there was no abnormality or gap in this floor tile on weekdays, this was the first time that the passage of the ancestral hall was started in reverse, Xiao Ye did not expect that the "cage" he dug and built was now trapped in the person he valued the most.

Xiao Ye jumped into the tunnel without hesitation, more than two feet deep below, slid to the bottom, and he got up and walked inside.

Rong Yue, I'm here to save you.

When there was no road at the end of the passage, Xiao Ye listened quietly, it was quiet inside, and there seemed to be no one, but suddenly there was a faint sound of chains colliding inside.

Sure enough, someone was imprisoned here, Xiao Ye couldn't care much more, and pushed directly to the middle of the brick wall, the brick wall began to loosen, and after a few more strokes, a thick brick was pushed away, and he leaned into it and came to the secret room.

Then, Xiao Ye saw a figure hanging in the air with his hands and feet bound by chains.

And Rong Yue also heard the movement behind her, but she couldn't turn back at the moment, and she couldn't know who was breaking in behind her until she heard the anxious voice.

"Rong Yue!"

It was him, the one who kept her in suspense day and night.

"General!"
