Chapter 411: City Lord's Mansion
Taking advantage of the night, Chu Nian came out of the already dark water prison, and the prisoners in the depths of the water prison seemed to hear Chu Nian's footsteps, and there was a small cry in the darkness, and the vaguely audible words seemed to be insolently reminding the guards outside that someone was going to escape.
Walking to the door, Chu Nianfang glanced back at the depths of the water prison, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then looked outside the water prison, compared with the inside of the water prison, the outside of the water prison was quiet like another world.
After confirming that it was safe, Chu Nian walked out of the door of the water prison, and immediately closed the prison door, and the voices behind him who couldn't see the good of others were suddenly locked back in the water prison, and Chu Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether the city lord was a good city lord when he was not used to bear children, in short, those who were imprisoned in the water prison were definitely not good people.
After settling down, Chu Nian heard a sound of neat footsteps not far away, and as soon as her figure flashed, she hid in a shadow under the huge sycamore on the side.
A group of barbarian soldiers walked through the corridor in front of the door of the water prison where Chu Nian was staying, passing by the door of the water prison, and seemed to hear a shout from inside, one of them kicked the door fiercely, and roared something, seeing that there was no sound in the door of the water prison, he nodded with satisfaction, and gradually walked away with this group of patrol soldiers.
When the neat footsteps completely disappeared around the corner, Chu Nian came out from behind the tree, his eyes narrowed slightly, and turned around and walked towards the path in the other direction.
This city lord's mansion is really not small, even with a large number of gardens, the plants and vegetables in the garden are all precious, if you compare the Chu family, I am afraid that half of the Chu family's mansion is not worth a garden in the city lord's mansion.
Walking through the path in the garden, Chu Nian walked straight in the direction of the backyard, at this time, Chu Nian realized that the lord of Wucheng was really not afraid of her escaping at all, even if she got out of the cold dungeon, there were no less than a hundred barbarian squads composed of ten people in this huge mansion, Chu Nian was about to meet a group of barbarian soldiers almost every two steps, but fortunately, although these barbarian soldiers were numerous, they were not very careful, as long as Chu Nian avoided them in advance, he could still dodge.
It wasn't until she met a group of patrol soldiers again that Chu Nian frowned and turned around, walked into a rockery in the roadside garden, and immediately threw herself through the gap in the rockery, watching the group of soldiers stay in her original position for a moment before leaving.
At this stall, Chu Nian felt a cool and cool wind behind him, there was an inexplicable rancid smell in the wind, and it smelled like the smell in the water prison, Chu Nian frowned slightly and turned around, and saw a tunnel on the ground behind him that only one person passed, and there was a boulder on the side of the tunnel, because there was a huge pond next to it, the surrounding land was very wet, and there were moss on the rockery roots on the side, and the bottom of the boulder was clean and seemed to be spotless, look at this appearance, The boulder seems to have been used to block the entrance to the tunnel.
Chu Nian's eyes suddenly lit up, according to his previous experience, there is a good chance that the entrance of the cave in front of him is the place where the City Lord's Mansion is used to keep important belongings, but how does the Wu City Lord look like a careless person, so he inadvertently forgot to block the secret passage, and it looks like something he can do.
Thinking that this might be a big windfall, the corners of Chu Nian's mouth rose slightly, and he walked down the secret path without hesitation.
The minds of the barbarians have never been so complicated, and they didn't even bother to set up any mechanisms after building a "treasure house", Chu Nian walked smoothly all the way to the depths of the secret passage, and the depths of the secret passage were brightly lit, and only half of the candles burned by the wall - obviously, I was afraid that when the city lord went out, he even forgot to extinguish the candles.
Chu Nian looked in the direction of the candlelight, and saw a huge mahogany cabinet on the wall, there were hundreds of small boxes on this cabinet, Chu Nian opened the first box in the bottom corner of the far left, and inside was a box of air-dried herbs contained in a mahogany box, which seemed to be very precious, Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, then took off the robe on his body, put the dried herb in the robe, and immediately raised his head again, aiming at the box on the other side, his red lips were slightly hooked, began this sweeping of the treasure house of the Rucheng City Lord's Mansion.
Row after row on the left, the robe that Chu Nian used as a burden was quickly filled, and Chu Nian felt a little difficult when she lifted it, so she put the things down, wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, and turned her eyes to look at a box in the upper right corner that was not very dusty.
Almost all the other boxes were covered with some amount of dust, but on that one, a large piece of dust seemed to have been brushed off by someone's hand.
Chu Nian looked around, the city lord obviously got some kind of treasure, so he was so carried away that he even forgot to extinguish the candle, but maybe it was because the city lord was really relieved of the guards in his house, but today he still didn't stop asking Chu Nian to sneak in.
If you don't do it, anyway, the treasure house of the city lord's mansion has been moved by her, and taking one more piece from this stall will not make the city lord's heartache much less. Chu Nian looked at the stone pier in the corner of the wall, stepped forward and wasted all his strength to move the stone pier to the bottom of the wooden box, so he stood on tiptoe, and finally opened the box.
After taking the box off the cabinet, Chu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and when he got down from the stone pier, he opened the box, and his eyes were stunned.
At this moment, there was a transparent gauze in this box, and the fabric was as cold as water when he reached out and touched it, Chu Nian quickly collected similar items from his memory, and frowned.
At this time, the ice water is in good faith! Chu Nian's brows furrowed more and more, some time ago, Ming Xiu Fang returned the Ice Water Heavenly Clothes to Western Chu Yue Ling, at this moment, how could the Ice Water Heavenly Clothes appear in the barbarians?
Could it be ...... This ice water heavenly clothes, there is more than one in the world?
Chu Nian took out the ice water clothes from the wooden box, and then carefully put them into his chest, and then put the empty wooden box back again, and then calmed down, then turned around and carried the burden made of outer robes, the plain white clothes were already covered with dust, and they were not so conspicuous in the dark night.
Following the path that came to Shiji, Chu Nian walked cautiously all the way, and once again avoided countless patrol teams, Chu Nian found the back door, at this stall, there was a sudden sound of loose footsteps on the side, she frowned and hid behind the big stone on the side, and heard a conversation from that side.
"Lord of the city, you have to keep the things I gave you."
A hoarse voice sounded first, but this voice made Chu Nian feel inexplicably familiar, after a while, she concentrated slightly, and heard the sound of the city lord rubbing his hands from that side, "That's natural, if Mr. can hand over such treasures to me for safekeeping, that is trusting me, I will definitely not easily live up to Mr.'s trust in me!" ”
There seemed to be a sneer from the other side, Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes in contemplation, and his voice sounded again: "If the city lord wants to use it, it's not that he can't use it, but don't destroy this thing, I got this thing from Xichu all the way, and there is no second thing in this world." ”
When these words fell, Chu Nian's eyes suddenly sank, sure enough, this ice water robe was stolen from the hands of West Chu Yueling? At the moment, they are still counting on Mr. Liang to use this ice water coat to make more ice water clothes, and this only template has been stolen, how does Mr. Liang make ice water clothes there?
Chu Nian frowned slightly, and the Wu City Lord's repeated assurances had already sounded, and after a while, the Wu City Lord cautiously spoke: "Today we caught a Da Liang woman in the tavern, and when they entered the country, they were a man and a woman, through my daughter's description, I think those two are very similar to the two people that Mr. is looking for, this ......"
Hearing the question of the Wu City Lord, the hoarse voice seemed to be silent for a while before he said: "There is no need for the Wu City Lord to worry about this matter, I will find the person I want to find, I will find it myself." ”
Seeing that the other party didn't appreciate it, the city lord of Wu had no choice but to say yes in a row, at this stall, he saw that the hoarse voice sounded again, and his voice seemed to be dyed with a little pleasure, "That's it today, I'm just here to send the ice water clothes, since the city lord of Wu has put away the ice water clothes according to the requirements, I have nothing to say, I will arrange for the king to reward the city lord of Wu when I go back, and the city lord is waiting in the house." ”
"Yes, yes...... That's so thankful sir. ”
The sparse footsteps sounded again, and the man seemed to be far away, accompanied by the brisk footsteps of the Wu City Lord, Chu Niancai walked out slowly from behind the stone, looking at the back of the two of them leaving thoughtfully.
When Chu Nian came out, the owner of the hoarse voice had long since disappeared, and there was only the back of the Wucheng Lord on the road, who was happily humming a little song towards his bedroom, but he didn't know that the treasure he had placed in the treasure room had already been included in Chu Nian's small baggage.
Chu Nian, who was standing in place, thought for a while, then turned around and walked towards the wall behind him.
When he walked to the edge of the wall, Chu Nian put down the burden in his hand, and immediately groped for the side of the wall to find a depression - on the eve of the city lord's entourage, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu were not idle, they secretly came to the courtyard of the city lord's mansion and went around with great difficulty to find this special corner.
She turned her eyes to look at the plane tree that almost stretched out of the wall, hooked the corners of her lips slightly, and stepped forward, shaking the trunk vigorously, and soon, there was a sound of Suo Suo from the wall, and she saw an inky figure turn over the wall, looking down at the girl who was smiling in embarrassment on the ground.
Ming Xiu frowned slightly, and a deep voice came out.
"They're bullying you?"
Chu Nian lifted his cuffs and wiped a handful of sweat, shook his head lightly and said, "How come, Your Highness is underestimating me too much?" ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and pointed to the huge burden beside her, "I got some treasures, I can't pull them away alone, you help me." ”
Seeing the huge burden on the ground, a strange color flashed in Ming Xiu's eyes, and he had no choice but to jump off the wall helplessly, carrying the big package behind him effortlessly, and then turned his eyes to look at the embarrassed woman who was tiptoeing and looking at the wall and frowning slightly.
"Can't you go up?" There was an inexplicable hint of playfulness in Ming Xiu's voice.
This made Chu Nian blush, she raised her eyes to look at Ming Xiu, pouted her ruddy little mouth moistened by sweat and said, "Your Highness, I'm tired enough to carry so many things out." ”
