Chapter 427: Mountain Villa (1)
The silver moon is at the top, and the birds are silent.
Alimu was sent away that night, and Yuechen was curious: "How did Miss choose Alimu?" ”
Gongsun Lan was also a little tired, sat back by the campfire, and said: "Some of these people who follow Sna are dead soldiers, and after strict training, this kind of person can't ask anything. Among the rest, the older ones are rich in experience, and they will not be easily provoked to become Sna's enemies. Another point, this Alimu, who has been the person who has done his best to protect Sna from the beginning, is afraid that he has great hopes for coming out this time. ”
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and this is the easiest time to break his psychological defense.
Yuechen looked at Gongsun Lan's eyes full of admiration, and said, "The news in Alimu's mouth is of great help to us when we go to Shubei this time. Sending him to the Fifth Prince is also an excellent choice, and the odds of victory on both sides of us are better. ”
"The three princes vied with each other, which not only plunged the Baimeng into a more fierce competition, but also promoted the turmoil between Yasukuni and Daan from the side." She looked up at the cold moonlight in the sky and sighed, "And the competition between the three princes has become more complicated and difficult. Also, the eldest prince's behavior is really incomprehensible. ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and they all felt that this trip to Shubei could not be good. Yuechen said: "No matter what, the subordinates will protect the safety of the young lady, and the prince ordered before coming that the young lady must not be left without a single hair." "Even if the prince doesn't command, even if they don't live, we still have to ensure the safety of the young lady.
"Everyone rest early to conserve their strength, and tomorrow morning, we will start searching for the location of the Hidden Mountain Villa nearby."
As for the matter of the wheel guard, it was not Gongsun Lan's turn to worry about it at all, so everyone agreed and went their separate ways.
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, everyone had already packed up, some people stayed in the camp, and some people were ready to follow Gongsun Lan to find someone.
Gongsun Lan took out the fire flying squirrel that he had raised for more than a month from the carriage. The little thing probed into the brain, the shiny fur was smooth and soft, and the spine was very beautiful with a fiery red line. It was not afraid of life at all, and its dark eyes looked curiously at the crowd of onlookers.
In order to familiarize Squeak with the taste of Gongsun Xian, he deliberately untied the bracelet that Gongsun Xian had brought and put it on its neck, and the blue one made it more vibrant.
The more Yuexi looked at it, the more she liked it, but she couldn't help but worry: "Look at this eccentric appearance, will it run away without a trace as soon as it is released?" ”
"No, the fire flying squirrel is very emotional, and after being tamed, it will never leave its owner." Gongsun Lan looked at Squeak with a smile, and obviously liked its cute appearance very much, and said: "But after we find the villa in the county, we can rely on it to find the fifth brother." ”
Everyone sighed for a while, admiring how spiritual this little thing was.
Gongsun Lan took the squeak out of the grass basket and put it in the grass, it walked east and west to see, but it did not go far, only within two feet of Gongsun Lan, everyone was relieved when they saw this, and ten people were dispatched to follow Gongsun Lan to explore the location of Shenyin Villa.
Shenyin Mountain Villa is revealed in Gongsun Xian's secret letter, where he is at this time.
Gongsun Lan and Yang Zheng couldn't help but be confused when they came to a conclusion. What is Hidden Hills? I've never heard of it. But after the two went to see Yan Hong in prison, they gradually became eyebrows.
Yan Hong was guided by Gongsun Lan, and the symbols and locations revealed made the two of them feel a little clue.
It turned out that before Cui's death, he not only handed over the secret talisman to her, but also secretly told him that in fact, there were still people in the Boling Cui family back then, which was a retreat that had been done a long time ago.
After Yan Hong knew this secret, he never revealed half a sentence to anyone, which was used as his last hole card.
But of course, Yang Zhen and Gongsun Lan will not let Yan Hong, who is in prison, have another chance to turn over. directly blocked his contact with the outside world, and used that symbol to lead out the informant, and roughly understood the matter of Shenyin Villa. Moreover, Gongsun Xian vaguely expressed in the secret letter that Shenyin Mountain Villa has underground passages and mechanisms, and it is not easy to break in. Only then did Gongsun Lan think of the fire flying squirrel, and ordered someone to catch one and come back.
The mountain is not steep, and the trees are beautiful, but although this place is beautiful, it is not easy to move around it, and it is very tiring. Gongsun Lan led people through the mountains, and for a whole day, he saw that the sky was getting dark again, but he couldn't find the location of the villa for a long time.
Returning to the camp tiredly, Yuechen said: "Miss, don't worry, after all, the location given by Gongsun Xian is also an approximation, this mountain is really not small, and the people in the mountain villa deliberately avoid the world, it will definitely not be so easy to be found." ”
Of course, Gongsun Lan understood this truth, so he said, "Well, it's okay. We'll look for it again tomorrow. ”
However, the next day, before the group had yet to leave, others appeared near the camp.
The guards came to report: "Miss. Two people came, and they mentioned 'Villa' in their mouths. ”
Gongsun Lan got up violently: "Let's go, go over and have a look!" ”
The two men that the guards said were resting under the big trees at the moment. One of them was tall, dark-skinned and fierce-looking, dressed in a short cloth shirt, and spoke with a local town accent, and said coldly: "It's a pity that this time, I want a little white face with clear eyebrows over there!" Otherwise, I won't be able to say anything to let your kid take advantage of this! ”
The other man was indeed handsome, dressed in an indigo robe, dressed as a scholar, much more attractive than his companions, but unfortunately his eyes were obscene, and the bird's nest was blue, and he looked like a wine-colored hollowed out. "That's wrong, when the little brother had good things, he didn't forget the old brother, didn't you?"
The black-faced man's cold face was better when he heard this, but he still advised: "You have to remember, after the things explained by the employer are done, don't get entangled." The money will be given to you when the time comes, if you have a crooked heart and break my path, be careful that I can't eat and walk around! ”
The man in the long shirt hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, rest assured!" ”
The two of them didn't say anything else, rested for a while, then got up and went forward.
"Keep up with them." Gongsun Lan beckoned, and the group dispersed, each finding a place and following forward.
The more you walk in the mountains, the quieter it becomes, only the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves being blown by the wind, compared to Gongsun Lan and others, those two are just three-legged cats, everyone follows behind in a muffled voice, and the other party can't find it at all.
The physical strength of the man in the long shirt is obviously not as good as that of the black-faced man, and after walking for more than an hour, he can't keep up, and the black-faced man frowned and said: "Why are you so useless, don't let the little mother-in-law get it yet, she will lie down first!" ”
In fact, the man in the long shirt is far less serious than he said, but his steps are a little heavier, and he is definitely not comparable to the black-faced man who has been crawling in the mountains all year round. When he heard this, his face was not good, and he knew that the other party was not in good spirits, so he deliberately arranged himself, but unfortunately he still expected the other party to take the silver, so he said in a low voice: "The little brother's trick is naturally not comparable to the old brother...... Please also take care of my brother. ”
Gongsun Lan followed closely, and when she heard the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows again and again, looking at the fact that there were a lot of dirty things in this Shenyin Villa. I just don't know who hired someone to kill whom?
The mountain villa didn't seem to be close, and it wasn't until it was dark that Gongsun Lan saw traces of human activity on the surrounding mountain roads.
After a while, the two of them also stopped, found a big tree surrounded by three people, climbed up, took out dry food from their arms and ate it slowly, as if they planned to rest for a while and wait for dark. The black-faced man said: "The villa is in front, and when you go by yourself, someone will pick you up." When you're done, come back to me! ”
The man in the long shirt hurriedly agreed and asked, "I don't know where the elder brother knew about this villa, and the younger brother also lives at the foot of the mountain, why did he never know?" He looked curiously in the direction of the villa, and seemed to be a little curious about the villa he had never heard of.
"Curiosity kills cats." The black-faced man said coldly, and the man in the long shirt shut up.
Gongsun Lan raised his hand to let everyone stop as well, and said in a low voice: "Leave two people here to keep an eye on him, and the rest of the people will follow me to find the villa." ”
Yue Xi said: "Miss, such two useless things, just leave one person." ”
Gongsun Lan shook his head: "It's not that I'm afraid of them, in case something else happens, the two of them will have a good response, so it's better to be cautious when going out." ”
Yuechen thought of the Sna group he had met before, so he ordered two people to stay here and look at the man.
The group followed the traces of people's activities and groped forward, and found Shenyin Mountain Villa in about a stick of incense.
The sky is low and the night is scarce. Under the dark sky, lights were lit up all over the village, illuminating the mourning flags that filled the courtyard, and sometimes yellow paper money was swept into the air by the night wind.
This situation and this scene in this deep mountain and old forest are indescribably weird.
The moon breath suddenly was a trembling. "Miss, isn't this a haunted house?"
Gongsun Lan was also stunned, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that someone in the villa is dead and is doing a funeral." ”
"Someone died, and there are still people in the villa who bribed bandits to do some indiscriminate things, and it seems that things in this villa are also messy."
Gongsun Lan said: "It's not strange, where there are people, there is competition, and where there are women, intrigue is indispensable." ”
Yuexi's eyebrows trembled, and her young lady was afraid that she didn't mean to treat herself as a woman.
As soon as the three of them jumped onto the tree, they had a panoramic view of the terrain of the villa. Gongsun Lan swept his eyes and said with a smile: "It seems that the person who built the house knows a lot about feng shui. ”
Yuechen took a closer look at the mansion in the villa and said, "There are guards everywhere, and they seem to be very vigilant, and ordinary thieves are afraid that they will not be pleased." ”
"After all, the Boling Cui clan has gone through great difficulties, and it is common sense to be on guard at all times."
Yuechen nodded, pointed to a courtyard with extremely bright lights and said, "Miss, that courtyard, could it be the courtyard of the family?" ”
