When twilight officially falls and there is no one around, it is the right time to spy on the news.

There was still candlelight in Wei Shaoguang's study, and a small blurred silhouette could be seen from the window.

Xiahou Ming wore a black night suit, covered his mouth and nose with a scarf of the same color, and held his own saber in his hand.

He was about to go out, and when he walked downstairs, he couldn't help but glance up at the second floor, and unsurprisingly saw the unextinguished candle flame.

Childe is still studying.

He lowered his head, his heart was a little complicated, Childe was only fifteen years old, he was so hard, and he had already carried too many things before he was weak. Although he has been in contact with Childe for less than a month, this time is enough for him to learn some things about Childe, even if Childe doesn't say it, he can guess that Childe must come to Huairou City alone for big things, and from his performance, it can be seen that Childe is a person with a strategy. But Childe is a gentle and kind person, and he treats the people in this house very politely and gently, which is incomparable to others.

In order to keep Childe's gentleness and trust, he can't be sorry for Childe, tonight's action is very important to Childe, and it must be successful!

Xia Houming clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, took one last look at the window of the study, and then turned his head into the night.

Merging with the night, he quietly slipped into the Li Mansion and hid in a big tree, holding his breath to check the situation outside.

The Li Mansion was very quiet, most of the places were pitch black, only a few places were still lit with candles, and the guards in the mansion were much stricter than Li Zhengyuan, only for a while two teams of patrols had already walked under the tree where he was hiding.

Xiahou Ming squatted on the tree and silently counted the time they exchanged, using his internal force to feel the hidden human hands around him, and finally saw an opportunity to quickly prepare to sneak into a room.

Unexpectedly, the door of the house was locked, and he hung on the beam, calmed his breath, and then took out a dagger, quietly pried open the window, and slid in along the lattice.

After settling down, Xia Houming took advantage of the faint light emitted by the lanterns hanging in the corridor outside to check the situation inside the house.

Luck is not bad, this is a room with miscellaneous items, there are rows of wooden shelves in it, there are many items on the shelves, and there are many wooden boxes on the ground, Xiahou Ming walked over, did not dare to reach out rashly to touch it, just stood in front of the wooden frame, looked at it quietly for a while, smelled a faint fragrance in his nose, Xia Houming immediately held his breath cautiously.

He took out his dagger and stirred Dongzi on the shelf, and judging from the voice, it should be something wrapped in paper.

Xiahou Ming made a decision in his heart for a moment, and decided to flip it with his hand to take a look.

He reached out and carefully picked up the packet, and when he let go of his breath, the smell came out of his hand and into his nose.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger.

Xia Houming carefully distinguished the taste and determined that this was a medicine. What he could smell was a few of the medicines, most of them were used to treat bruises, but the others were not.

To be on the safe side, he cut off a small piece with a dagger and wrapped it up, ready to take it back for Childe to see, maybe there would be an unexpected gain.

So, the things in this room should still be of some use.

Xiahou Ming thought about it, flipped it softly in the room again, took some of these things, and brought them back to Gongzi.

After looking at this room, Xia Houming stuck to the window and listened attentively to the movement outside, preparing to choose another time to go out and take a look around, and find out some really useful news.

The outside was quieter than just now, he looked out through the window paper, and the lights he could see clearly were much less than just now, this was the outermost place of the Li Mansion, he wanted to go to the place inside, but the guards of the Li Mansion were obviously very tricky, and he had to find a way.

Xiahou Ming went around to the inside of the room and opened a window, which was facing the back, and he opened a trace of Feng, patiently observing the situation outside through this gap.

Outside the window was facing a lake, and on the shore were planted two or three weeping willows, which were now stretching their young leaves with the night breeze, and the willow trees were not very thick, and their branches were curling and weak, and under the trees there was a clump of delicate shrubs, pruned in shape.

No matter how you look at it, there is no suitable place to hide, and from time to time there will be night patrols walking around the lake, a team of five, changing every moment.

Xia Houming squatted at the window, slowly waiting for the two teams to exchange, and then quickly and silently slid out of the window, standing against the wall, low behind the bushes, the windows of the original hiding room were properly closed, and Xiahou Ming took advantage of the cover of the trees all the way to the inner courtyard quickly.

In fact, there is a method he originally thought of, which is to directly stun a guard and then sneak in to find out the news. But there is a drawback to this, if you do this, the Li Mansion will know that someone has infiltrated the mansion, and the situation will be even worse at that time, and the most important thing is that tonight's action must not be taken by surprise, otherwise Gongzi's plan will be hindered, and he does not want such a thing to happen.

Therefore, Xia Houming felt that he could be more careful and try not to leave traces, as for the news about the Li Mansion, it was naturally the most important.

Xiahou Ming hid again in a tree, this tree was in the inner courtyard, the branches were lush and thick, and he squatted on it just enough to cover himself. But he still didn't dare to let go of his breath, for fear that there would be someone else on this tree.

Because he didn't know the location of the study of the Li Mansion in advance, Xiahou Ming couldn't find a similar place like the study all the way, and he couldn't stay in the mansion for too long, so why don't you change your target and go to find out the situation of Master Lotus Mirror.

After making up his mind, Xiahou Ming stretched out his hand and gently picked up the leaves, looked down at the courtyard of the Li Mansion from a high place, and saw a place where there was still light, where there were more guards, and there were three teams patrolling back and forth in a quarter of an hour.

The guards are so strict, there must be a cat, let's go and see first.

Xiahou Ming knew that his martial arts were not as good as his son, but he also had his own strengths, and he had been bought and accepted the most rigorous training since he was a child, and spying on news was the most basic skill, which was not difficult for him.

Xiahou Ming fell from the tree to the ridge next to him, and when he landed, he was soft and soft, and he couldn't let the tiles make a sound, otherwise he would be easily discovered.

After a few starts, they arrived in the courtyard where the candle was still lit, and Xia Houming leaned down on the roof to carefully check the situation below.

I saw that there were figures walking back and forth in the yard, the little maids were busy, they were holding trays with medicine bowls on them, the black medicinal juice shook with walking, and some of them hurriedly walked into the house with copper basins and hurriedly walked out of the house.

The strangest thing is that the yard is so busy, but they don't see any sound, no one dares to speak, they shut up one by one, come in and go out in silence, busy in silence.

There was a thin smell of medicine wafting out and burrowing into Xia Houming's nose, he distinguished it, but suddenly found that this smell was the same as the medicine he had encountered in the room he had entered by mistake, although there were still a few different smells, but this one really couldn't be wrong.

Who exactly? Why did the Li Mansion take it so seriously at such a late hour, and why did it use so much medicine? The most bizarre thing is that I haven't heard of anyone in the Li Mansion being seriously injured recently, let alone seeing that the Li Mansion has invited a doctor into the mansion.

Or did the Li Mansion completely hide this matter and cut off all news, so it didn't hear any news?

If that's the case, isn't it......

Xiahou Ming chuckled in his heart.

Sliding down the roof and hugging the roof beams, Xia Houming poked a hole with his fingers, and the whole person hung upside down on the roof beams on the corridor outside the house, hiding in the shadows, looking at the situation in the house from the broken window paper.

Due to his line of sight, what Xia Houming saw was a bare head, and after being surprised for a moment, he realized that this might be the Lotus Mirror Master.

That's indeed the Lotus Mirror.

When Xia Houming was still lying on the roof, Lianjing had already discovered him, and when he was about to spy on the situation in the house at this time, Lianjing made a move.

A black Buddha bead struck Xia Houming with a strong force through the window paper, and he snorted and fled quickly from the courtyard.

In the house, Li Baichuan, the current head of the Li family, nervously asked Lianjing, "Virtuous nephew, but what happened?" Is someone sneaking into the house, do you want me to send someone to investigate? ”

Lianjing stretched out his hand to make a Buddha salute, his expression was calm and indifferent, "Master Li Shi doesn't need to be nervous, it's just an ignorant bird, and the poor monk has already driven him away." Also, the poor monk is already a monk, and I ask the donor not to call him the wrong name again. ”

"Okay, good, thank you Xian, ah, no, thank you master." Li Baichuan smiled dryly and responded to the words of the lotus mirror, and returned a Buddha salute decently.

Lianjing smiled silently, sat on the side by himself, gently twisted a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, the white monk's robe had clear lines of warp and weft, and the corners of the clothes were blown up by the wind, which was almost transparent in color.

Li Baichuan didn't care about him anymore, glanced at the people on the couch not far away, he beckoned to a little servant, and after a few words of explanation, the little guy was ordered out of the courtyard and led people to conduct a strict search in the entire mansion.

Besides, on Xiahou Ming's side, he was momentarily relaxed because the scene he saw was too incredible, and he didn't dodge the blow of the lotus mirror, and with the injured arm, he escaped from the Li Mansion as quickly as possible.

Now he is hiding in a big tree outside the Li Mansion, squatting on the tree with his arms crossed and staring.

As expected, there was soon movement in the Li Mansion, lights were lit up everywhere, and people were crowded, although there were no chickens and dogs jumping, but it was noisy enough.

Only then did Xia Houming dare to confirm the authenticity of the scene he saw at that glance just now.

He turned around and jumped out gently, stepped on the roof ridge and returned to Lizheng Garden, and after making sure that there was no tail behind him, Xiahou Ming climbed over the wall and returned to the Barge Garden.

The situation was urgent, Xia Houming went directly to the first floor, he stood outside the screen, and called softly, "Childe, it's me." ”

Wei Shaoguang woke up from his light sleep in response, sat up in his clothes, "Xiahou Ming? Come on in. ”
