Pinching the things in his hand, he walked out of the study with the lantern and plunged into the darkness.

Lu Chen, who was staying on the roof, didn't pay attention to Zhi Lian, he looked at Qu Huaiyun who was closing his eyes and recuperating below, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of disdain.

Zhi Lian carried the lantern and slowly walked towards a remote courtyard.

This courtyard is a forbidden place in the house, no one has been here for so many years, and the wild grass in the yard is almost one person high.

In the dark and silent night, Zhilian stepped into the deserted courtyard with a lantern.

The heavy black shadows of the overlapping trees in the moonlight make people feel creepy.

In the middle of the night, someone walked in this deserted courtyard with a lantern, which made people feel very weird.

This yard has a story, but that's not the point. Zhi Lian didn't come to this courtyard tonight to enjoy the scenery, let alone to experience this mysterious atmosphere, he naturally had a purpose.

"Mingyan, it's time!" Gu Chengyu listened to the sound of the watch coming from far away, and felt that the time was almost up.

"Yes!" At this time, Ming Yan had already changed into a black robe, and he turned around without hesitation.

Outside, he jumped to his feet, jumped up to the treetops, and ran off into the distance.

Lu Chen thought that he had thrown off Mingmo, and was waiting for Qu Huaiyun to check the treasure map. But Qu Huaiyun didn't move for a long time, and his heart couldn't help but become anxious.

Mingmo won't be there for long, I'm afraid I'll come back to him soon.

This Qu Huaiyun was still sitting still, and even picked up a pen and wrote the paper.

Zhi Lian walked through the half-man-high grass and came to the dilapidated main house.

Holding the lantern higher, Zhilian saw clearly that there was a rusty copper lock hanging from the door in front of her.

Zhi Lian sneered and took out a key from her sleeve. This key was the one he had taken from Qu Huaiyun just now, and there was not much time left for him.

The chain of this lock was rusty on the outside, but Zhilian easily used the key to get the copper lock.

There was no damp mildew or dust in the room, and Zhi Lian didn't waste any more time when she came in.

He came to the moonlit spot and looked at the tiles.

He had secretly followed Qu Huaiyun to this place because of curiosity before, but he didn't dare to approach.

He wasn't sure which bricks would come loose, so he hurriedly crouched down and knocked on the bricks.

"My lord, it's all deployed!"

"Hmmm! Let's get started! ”

The corners of Liao Cheng's mouth hooked up a sneer, the people sent by the master are all good hands, and tonight he will let Qu Fu present the treasure map with both hands.

When Yi Yanshan sent the other half of the treasure map, the entire treasure map was in his hands.

Qu Huaiyun thought that he could be on the list of Xia Qing by relying on him, but he didn't know that Xia Qing was a dog slave who worked hard for the court in the eyes of that person.

This treasure map is his name, and for such a great achievement, the master must be rewarded.

Liao Cheng seems to have seen his promotion and fortune, and his appearance is infinite.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, tonight was a good time for him to rise to the top.

"Let's go! Let's go meet the Qu patriarch. Liao Cheng flicked his sleeves and walked out of the study in a very happy mood.

One after another, black shadows quietly entered the Qu Mansion, and as soon as they landed, they all disappeared without a trace.

Lu Chen was on his way back, and Qu Huaiyun hadn't moved yet, and he estimated that he wouldn't be able to find out anything tonight.

Lu Chen was hanging his head, but he might as well have a strong wind behind him.

He hurriedly turned around and struck with his palm, and there was a man in black in front of him. Lu Chen was taken aback, what was going on?

What about his people? He was ambushed by someone outside Qufu, so where did these people come from?

The two palms struck each other, and the opponent was defeated and took two steps back.

Seeing that this person was not Lu Chen's opponent, he turned around and ran, and Lu Chen hurriedly chased after him.

"Knock knock!" The sound of the floor tiles in front of her was different from the others, and Zhi Lian's heart was suddenly relieved.

He used the previous key to pry the floor tiles open, revealing a mahogany box inside.

Seeing the lock on the wooden box, Zhi Lian thought about it, came to the outside of the courtyard, and found a large stone.

He wasn't sure it was a treasure map, so he had to smash it open and take a look.

It didn't take much effort to smash the small lock, and Zhi Lian slammed it on the small copper lock.

With a bang, the lock fell.

When he opened the box, he saw the parchment, and the small hole in the top that had been burned.

Yes, that's it! Zhi Lian was overjoyed, put the treasure map directly in his arms, and then quickly walked out of the courtyard without looking back.

His time was running out, and it wouldn't be long before Qu Huaiyun would find out that the key was missing.

Zhi Lian panted and ran all the way, and the place he ran to was the East Wing, where Gu Chengyu was temporarily staying.

He was very scared now, he didn't want to stay in the agreed place and wait, it was too dangerous, and he could only feel at ease if he ran to the place where Master Gu was.

At the place where Ming Yanda and Zhi Lian agreed, as soon as they stopped, they were attacked by the oncoming man in black.

Ming Yan was shocked, what the hell is going on? Could it be that this person is Lu Chen, and Lu Chen attacked himself in order to win the treasure map?

This person's moves are sharp, and after two moves with Ming Yan, he took out a nine-section whip from his waist and threw it over.

In Hejian Mansion in October, the coolness of the night can soak into the bone marrow. Zhi Lian was thinly dressed, but at this moment, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Zhilian!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind him.

Zhi Lian was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she was about to fall to the ground. But he immediately suppressed the fear in his heart and ran faster than before.

"Zhilian, you still don't stop? You have to think clearly, who is this? ”

Zhi Lian suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, he stopped running and turned around to look.

It was the Outer Courtyard Steward Qiu who called him, and the person next to him was not his mother, so who was that?

But what made his eyes tear was that at this time there was a sword around his mother's neck.

"Mother!" Zhilian's tears could not stop flowing any longer, and he gasped for breath.

"Zhi Lian, the master treats you well! If it weren't for the master, where would you come to the days of fine clothes and fine food? Your mother's illness is a disease of wealth, and it can't all be raised by the master? ”

Steward Qiu snorted coldly, there was a little pity for Zhi Lian in his eyes, but more indifference.

When Zhi Lian heard this, her body trembled uncontrollably.

He hates! But he couldn't speak, he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but vent the grief and anger in his heart.

He lied to his mother before saying that the master appreciated him and wanted him to study and do things for the master in the future.

His mother believed it, and he never dared to tell the truth.

"Steward Qiu! Please, let us go! Zhi Lian's pleading eyes fell on Steward Qiu, the old man did not come, and he still had a trace of luck.

Steward Qiu shook his head, "Zhilian, you should know why I'm here. The master still has some affection for you, you did such a wrong thing this time, and the master just asked me to take you back. Don't worry, your mother's sick man won't let it go.
