The wind was slightly cool in the middle of the night, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance left in the air, which Chu Nian didn't notice.

At this moment, she was like a predator, completely hiding her figure in the dark, and a pair of crystal eyes stared closely at the sneaky figure not far away - he was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in Chu Nian's room, probably because he felt that the owner of the room was not there, and his actions became more and more unscrupulous, and his subordinates crackled and smashed a bunch of very valuable ornaments.

The candle flame flickered, and the man in black seemed to be more and more anxious, he had been rummaging here for half an hour, but he still did not seem to find what he was looking for, but he seemed to be sure that what he wanted was in this room, but he did not know where it should be.

The guards in the other corner of the room seemed to be a little impatient, and those pairs of eyes stared at the back of the man in black, as if they would immediately rush up and catch the sneaky little mouse as long as Chu read the order.

But Chu Nian obviously didn't mean to make a move, and his eyes were still staring at the prey not far away with interest, like a cat that had caught a mouse.

At this stall, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, which alarmed the little mouse who was rummaging in the house for food, and he got under the bed with a cat's waist, and the whole movement went smoothly without the slightest hesitation, as if he had been ready in the morning.

The cats lurking in the dark glanced at each other, and they all saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes, and then they heard a woman's cautious voice coming from outside the door: "County Lord? The county lord is already asleep? ”

Chu Nian in the dark frowned slightly, and saw Yan Shan sneaking into the door, fortunately, when the little mouse entered the house, he was afraid of causing too much noise, so he didn't dare to close the door, and at this moment Yan Shan walked into the house to swagger.

She poked her head into the quiet room for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then, under the gaze of several pairs of eyes in the darkness, she walked to the table not far away, which was almost turned over by small mice.

Seeing the mess on the table, Yan Shan's face turned pale, as if her beloved things had been stolen, she carefully sorted out the porcelain fragments, and then turned her eyes to look at the corner - there was a wooden box in the corner, which was properly placed, and it seemed to be able to hold a brush, probably because it was too small, so the little mouse did not notice, and the wooden box was now placed in the corner unharmed.

Chu Nian in the dark obviously saw that the personal maid of the city lord showed an inexplicable look of relief on her face, and then, she took a step forward and carefully moved the box away, and then she heard a slight "click" sound, and a gap large enough for one person to pass through suddenly opened in front of Yan Shan, and she carefully probed around before she dared to get into the gap.

As the figure sank into the crack, there was a "click" again, the crack closed, and the wall returned to its original state, as if the flexible wall had never swallowed a large living person.

The secret guards couldn't hold it back, but fortunately, the dark one was still reasonable, he glanced in the direction of Chu Nian, and saw that she still didn't move, so he held down the other two, and still honestly hid in the dark.

But if they can hold it, it doesn't mean that the little mouse can hold it, and at this moment, they can see Yan Shan's figure, and he has a spirit from under the bed.

A few people in the dark obviously saw that the little mouse's small eyes narrowed into a slit slightly, and he seemed to be extremely angry, he swaggered past Chu Nian and went straight to the secret passage.

The passage opened again, and the little mouse disappeared into the crack in the wall.

The dark guards were suffocated, let out a sigh of relief, and walked out of the darkness, and in the shadows opposite them, Chu Nian's figure fluttered, and at this moment she was staring at the gap that devoured the two big living people, and the complex meaning in her eyes was unclear.

"Lady, should we follow up too?"

"What are you going to do with it, won't they come out? Let's wait for the rabbit and it's over. ”

Dark three asked, Dark One was too lazy to take it for granted, Chu Nian glanced at the two living treasures with a smile, and then said: "I think it's better to follow up, looking at their appearance without worries, it is obvious that they don't plan to come out of us again, and it is very likely that there is another way out behind the secret passage." ”

Leaving these words, Chu Nian stepped forward slowly, stretched out his hand and touched the mechanism that was disguised as a wooden box, and the dark two, who had been silent on the side, frowned slightly, "Lady, will there be any mechanism behind this?" ”

Dark Er has always been calm, and this statement also successfully paused Chu Nian's hand not far from the wooden box, but after thinking about it for a long time, Chu Nian still reached out and touched the wooden box, "If you don't figure out what tricks they are playing today, I'm afraid you won't be able to figure it out in the future." ”

Hearing this, the secret guards looked at each other for a while, and then saw Chu Nian press the wooden box, and the wall cracked instantly.

Looking at the corridor that appeared behind the gap in front of him, only one person passed, and a hint of playfulness flashed in Chu Nian's eyes.

The little mouse was obviously in a wrong state when he saw Yan Shan, either an acquaintance or a ...... Yan Shan had what he wanted.

Although he didn't know if what he wanted was the so-called artifact that was inadvertently obtained by Yu Rong, it was clear that what he wanted was in Yan Shan's hands.

In other words, Yan Shan must have lied.

The reason why Chu Nian found it interesting was because this was the first time that someone had lied in front of her, and it was successful, and the lie of "no treasure in his hand" made by Rong Rong and his handmaid was self-defeating, so what are they covering up?

Regardless of the truth of the matter, it is necessary to find out first.

Thinking of this, Chu Nian took the lead in taking the step, and when he walked into the gloom, there was wind under his feet, and several dark guards behind him did not hesitate to follow, and the dark three tried to walk in front of Chu Nian, but because the road was too narrow, and they had just entered this gap, the entrance was automatically closed, and now they wanted to string but there was no gap to use for stringing, not to mention, there was no way out.

"The lady is right, there must be an exit."

With the help of the candle flames around him, he glanced back at the tightly closed wall and swallowed.

"This secret passage has been in the lady's room all along? Hasn't someone been in and out more than once? ”

Dark Er suddenly looked at a footprint on the ground, in front of him was Chu Nian and a few secret guards who walked first, but so many new or old footprints were obviously not left by a few of them.

Chu Nian in front frowned slightly, she touched the wall on her side, wet, it seemed that it was still new, probably before they moved in, so since Yu Rong knew that there was such a secret passage here, why did he arrange them to live here?

Don't...... This secret passage is the master of the servant girl's own self-inflicted work?

The two behaved intimately, maybe the maid of this generation of city lords really had the right to repair the city lord's mansion, so this so-called treasure was also concealed?

The group continued along the winding road, the future was dark, except for a small piece of the wall illuminated by the faint light of the candle flame on their side, several people were barely visible, and their feet were still slippery, and they didn't know what insects had crawled over the wall, leaving behind the sound of the rope and a string of sticky footprints.

Dark San was obviously uncomfortable, he covered his mouth and breathed in a muffled voice: "Lady, why is there a strange smell here......"

Chu Nian in front of him paused slightly, but it was only for a moment, and he continued to walk forward, and his head did not respond in a low voice, "Hmm." ”

"It smells like something rotten."

The faces of the first few secret guards turned slightly pale, not that they were afraid of the dead, they had followed the prince from birth to death so many times, and they didn't know what it meant to be afraid, but if there were really dead people here, it was very likely that there was a mechanism, and they just came in and didn't know anything, if there was no prevention, it would be a big trouble.

Chu Nian was still calm in front of her, and when she saw the corner not far away, she hooked her red lips slightly.

"Here we are."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a cave in front of me, but compared to the previous Yongdao, this cave was much bigger.

It's still dark, but it's still clear, at least not yet, there's no mechanism or treasure or anything like that.

Yiran didn't see Yan Shan and the man in black who had already come in, until Chu Nian, who was at the front, suddenly stopped, and the secret guards heard the sound of a fight coming from the cave not far away.

Yan Shan and the man in black seemed to have encountered, the fight was very fierce, accompanied by the sound of stones falling to the ground, Chu Nian and the secret guards quietly hid behind a stone, and an extremely annoyed Yan Shan appeared in front of him, and there was a man in black who was ruthless and left no room for it.

The man in black seemed to have some kind of hatred for Yan Shan, and he still had the eyes that were only exposed, and the cold blade under his hand refused to stop, and there seemed to be a cold knife in his eyes, stabbing straight at Yan Shan on the opposite side.

But Yan Shan is not a vegetarian, in the face of the speed of the man in black, her subordinates are still at ease, except for a little panting, it seems that she suffered some minor injuries because of the last confrontation with Chu Nian, and her wrist does not obey the call, and she looks a little powerless.

It seems that if she is at her peak, she will definitely be able to deal with the man in black in front of her.

And not far from them, there was a night pearl on a stone platform, the secret guards had never seen such a big night pearl since they had grown up in the palace, and at this moment their faces were stunned, and Chu Nian's eyes narrowed slightly.

The shape of the night pearl is round, the size of a fist, exuding a faint white light, this white light is not dazzling, but gentle, so people can't help but want to get close, although there are a few night pearls in the palace, but it is only half the size of this night pearl, can have the night pearl, most of them are the emperor and the queen mother, and then there are harder concubines in the harem, now such a big night pearl, if it is born, I am afraid that it is a lot of wealth.

Chu Nian finally understood why Yan Shan wanted to hide this "treasure" carefully, and he didn't even let Yu Rong know, but there was a scream at this stall.
