Chapter 248: Before the Storm
Thinking of this, Lu Yue asked someone to deliver the news to Li Hu, and it didn't take long for Lu Yue to get the news from the shadow guard, saying that not only did the guards on Lin Zhiwen's mansion more than triple, but even there were many more guards on the master's mansion.
It's just that he may be afraid of Governor Zhao, for fear of attracting speculation, and after less than a moment of commotion in this mansion, the people dispersed again.
And what made Lu Yue's heart even more nervous was that the shadow guard came with news that most of those people were guarding near the latrine.
The speculation in Lu Yue's heart became more and more certain, and she had to find a way to explore Zhang's Mansion again.
On the night of the third day, "Boom! - Knock! Boom! ”
The sound of beating bangzi came from afar, the cold and unmanned street, the moonlight reflected down, rows of houses like ghosts and ghosts, the cold wind blew, the husband of bangzi shivered, and secretly muttered a few words in his heart, the Bodhisattva blessed, and continued to walk forward.
The husband struck the hammer with his hand, and when he glanced at it, he saw a light not far away, and then he looked at it, and a scream pierced the silent night sky.
"Ah, it's water~"
In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole street suddenly became noisy, and the guards patrolling the city at night heard the noise and rushed to put out the fire.
Lin Mansion, the little guy at the door knocked on the door.
"Adult, adult~" The little girl's voice was eager.
"What's the matter?" There was a sharp voice from inside the room.
Lin Zhiwen put on a robe, opened the door with a displeased face, glared at the little servant and said, "What happened?" ”
The little guy lowered his head and said in a timid voice: "Big.. My lord, there is water on the other side of the ancestral house. ”
"What did you say?" Lin Zhiwen stared at the little guy in disbelief, as if he couldn't wait to step forward and overturn the person, what did he say in the middle of the night~
The little girl's face was white, "Yes, it's true, adult~"
At this time, there happened to be a commotion outside, Lin Zhiwen's face changed slightly, he pushed the little guy away, stood and listened quietly for a while, his face suddenly changed, "Someone, someone~"
A few roars, and people rushed out immediately, "My lord~"
Lin Zhiwen's face was so angry that his face turned pale, "Go~" A few times he pulled his robe and ran out quickly.
The guards hurriedly followed.
In the deep street, a group of people held torches, the leader Lin Zhiwen was disheveled, and the little guy next to him was waiting, pulling a horse beside him, handing the reins to Lin Zhiwen, he jumped on the horse's back quickly, the whip fell, the horse neighed, and jumped out quickly.
"Driving~" The horse's hooves are flying, and the guards are running fast on the ground~
When the silence returned to the door of the Lin Mansion, at the mouth of the dark alley, two black-clothed people walked out, one was petite and the other was tall.
"I'll just say that this method works~" A familiar voice floated out, and out of the shadows, the moonlight shone on the man's eyebrows, and he smiled crookedly.
The voice was soft and crisp, it was Lu Yue, and Li Hu next to him nodded and said, "Well, there is still a way for Miss~"
The two looked at each other and smiled, no longer wasting time, and quickly jumped through several streets to Master Zhang's mansion, and the whole courtyard was quiet~
Li Hu took Lu Yue and ran down a few times, he pushed Lu Yue to hide in the dark, and went forward to investigate by himself, and after a while, Li Hu turned back and made a gesture to Lu Yue without incident, and Lu Yue hurriedly followed.
The two bypassed the arched flower gate, and soon came to the Zhangfu latrine, Lu Yue gestured, signaling Li Hu to stare outside, they had noticed something strange about this latrine, Lu Yue smeared into the latrine, she took out the fire fold from her arms, lit the fire, held her breath, raised it high, and swept her eyes inch by inch.
Time passed quickly, and Lu Yue's heart became anxious, and at this time, her eyes lit up and she stared at one place tightly.
There was a thin crack in the wall, and Lu Yue reached out and slowly groped on it, knocking it, making a thumping sound, and the sound was crisp.
The corners of Lu Yue's mouth bent, his subordinates touched a place, and pressed hard, and the wall in front of him had slowly opened, and a secret door appeared.
Lu Yue was overjoyed in her heart, called Li Hu, and the two hurriedly walked in, and the door behind them was firmly closed again.
I saw a long passage in front of me, and there were oil lamps on the wall, which were burning vigorously, and the two of them walked along for a while, and several forks appeared in front of them in an instant.
These passages were dark and long, and at intervals there were oil lamps on the walls, which could only illuminate the road below, and beyond that you could not see anything clearly when you looked at the pitch black.
The whole passage was terrifyingly quiet, and there was no movement at all, Lu Yue quietly asked Li Hu which one they chose, but Li Hu shook his head stupidly, daring to love that this secret passage is not a dark one~
Lu Yue had no choice but to rely on her intuition to choose the one on the left, and the two of them almost walked a cup of tea, and were stunned to find that the road in front of them was actually a dead end.
Lu Yue scolded secretly, reached out and rubbed his arm, what the hell is this? Why do you stay colder and colder?
"What now?" Lu Yue touched Li Hu's arm.
Li Hu was about to open his mouth to speak, when suddenly the voices of several people talking sounded in the passage.
The two of them instantly became nervous, looked around, and when they looked around, the sound was not coming from the passage, Lu Yue held her breath, and found that there seemed to be a thin slit on the stone wall on the left hand side, which made the sound clear and transparent.
As soon as Lu Yue's subordinates made a move, the stone wall actually pushed, and as soon as she poked her head out, she saw several black shadows flashing.
She looked around and found that the passage was now leading in all directions, Lu Yue walked out quickly, Li Hu followed closely behind, and the two followed those black shadows.
Lu Yue and Li Hu quietly followed behind the black shadow, carefully dodging from time to time, for fear of being detected by the black shadow.
The two of them held their breath and followed lightly far behind.
The two of them quietly followed a corner, and they saw the black shadow, there was more than one of them, it was five or six men in black, and they were actually holding seven or eight young strong men.
Looking at the appearance of the dress, it should be the ordinary people in the city.
The young men were all shackled with prisoners on their hands and feet.
"Let's go, let's go, why don't you go?" The man in black said fiercely, waving his hand was a whip.
"Ah~" The man howled in pain, leaned forward with his whole body, and almost fell on the person in front of him, the handcuffs and shackles made a crisp sound in the silent passage, accompanied by heavy breathing, giving people a strange feeling of heartbeat.
The clothes of the screaming man were torn, and a blood mark was instantly printed on the flesh and blood, and blood beads were splashed.
"Damn, howl and go~" The person wielding the whip was fierce and vicious, and his mouth kept cursing.
Lu Yue was angry when she saw it, these people in black simply didn't treat these ordinary people as human beings, they were just beasts.
If it weren't for Lu Yue's remnants of reason, she wouldn't have been able to help but go up and beat the man in black hard.
The black-clothed man in front was pressing these people forward, and Lu Yue and Li Hu followed quietly.
As soon as he walked through a corner, there was a "bang" in the team in front of him, and a young strong man fell directly to the ground.
", what's going on?" The leader of the man in black showed a fierce light, and stepped forward to whip the person a few times, "Ah~" The people around him were so frightened that they flickered in panic~
"Ah~" A sharper and more terrifying voice pierced the silence of the entire passage.
"Ah~" The knife flashed, and the person who was screaming in his throat just now had fallen in a pool of blood, and blood came out of his neck.
The fallen man still held a mask on the face of the man in black,
The mask on the face of the man in black next to him was torn off, and everyone was stunned.
Among the panicked people just now, the unlucky ghost who fell may have accidentally grabbed the mask of the man in black in a panic, and was killed by the man in black as an attack.
After a long time, they reacted, and looked at the man in black who showed his true face in horror, and even Lu Yue's eyes widened so wide that his mouth didn't close in shock.
The black man's face was terrifying, his eyes were dull, there was not a trace of whites in his eyes, and his head was like dyed ink, thick and black, and it looked quite strange.
There were pustules of pus, large and small, some of them looked like they were bleeding, and they didn't look like people, and they were even a little more terrifying than the evil spirit.
The head of the black-clothed man in front of him turned around, with a bloodthirsty evil smile in his eyes, walked a few steps to the person whose neck was wiped, lowered his head and flicked the person's head with his feet, and found that the neck had been broken, and said with a hint of disgust in his eyes: "It's really unlucky, I can't help it, throw the person away~"
As soon as the words fell, the man in black next to him immediately stepped forward and dragged the person to the side in the dark, and after a while, he returned.
"Why are you afraid? Afraid of what? You will be like him. The man in black danced the whip in his hand, his eyes jumping with excitement.
The whip in his hand was pointed at those who were already pale with fright, and there was a look on their faces that wanted to faint, and they trembled and shrank together.
Seeing these timid people, the head of the man in black seemed to have lost any interest in his eyes, and said sharply in a blink of an eye: "Go, go immediately~"
Those people were so frightened that they trembled, and immediately returned to their original formation, the hatred in Lu Yue's heart, it turned out that they had been catching ordinary people to refine poisoners, and this plague must have nothing to do with them.
Her heart was as heavy as a boulder, and her hand unconsciously grasped a raised stone in her hand, and there was a crisp "click".
Lu Yue secretly screamed badly, and Li Hu behind him quickly dodged with Lu Yue, and the dark arrow flew from the air.
"It's not good, someone is following up~"
"Someone!" When the leader of the man in black saw that someone had broken in, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he pulled out his knife and chased in the direction where Lu Yue and Li Hu had escaped.
Li Hu took Lu Yue and turned around in place, and when he saw the man in black chasing after him, he immediately pulled out the knife at his waist to block the angry blade of the man in black.
For a while, the two were inseparable in the dark passage, Lu Yue did not have any weapons in his hands, and in an instant, several more men in black joined the battle, Lu Yue was terrified on the sidelines, no, if this continues, more and more people in black will come, and she and Li Hu will definitely not be able to escape at that time.
Lu Yue's eyes looked at the battle situation fixedly, ah, not good, the knife of the man in black was about to shout and cut Li Hu, as soon as Lu Yue grabbed the sleeve arrow on his arm, the short sword flew out, "Ah~" The head of the man in black screamed, and the knife in his hand lost his strength and fell to the ground.
The black-clothed man's eyes instantly stared at Lu Yue bloodily, "Catch her for me~"
Li Hu reacted, swiped the knife on a person's neck, eliminated one, and jumped towards Lu Yue in a few steps.
The next moment, with a "bang", there was a smell of explosives in the air, which frightened the man in black and flew with his head in his head, and a thick smoke filled the air, blocking everyone's view.
