Chapter 245: Encountering Outsiders
Sima Hongyan knew that his internal strength was not as deep as Nan Xunyan's, and he was also shocked in his heart, and after squatting down, he looked at the door from the gap in the broken cabinet, wondering if there were guards hidden all around, if this was the case, it would be even more difficult to escape. But it's not a matter of being trapped in this warehouse, the bodies of the third and fifth sons will be found sooner or later, and it will be more dangerous to stay for a moment.
It's useless to be anxious now, Sima Hongyan is looking forward to the fact that the person on the roof is just a passing secret guard, and after he leaves, he and Nan Xunyan will want to leave this place first, and then talk about it, if it is really not good, it is okay to find a place to hide first. This place is so big, there are so many houses, it is really hidden, and it is not so easy for two people to find it.
Secretly making up his mind, Sima Hongyan prayed in his heart that the people on the roof should leave quickly, and not waste time here, because the jailers in the passage behind him might rush out to chase them at any time. The smell of being blocked before and after this is heartbreaking.
After a few more soft noises from the roof, a faint figure was reflected on the door in the moonlight. The occupants of the room jumped down and stood just outside the door.
Sima Hongyan and Nan Xunyan glanced at each other, and both saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes, and the two didn't dare to move for a moment, holding their breath and staring at the black shadow outside the house.
After waiting for a while, the figure was still standing motionless at the door, Sima Hongyan was very curious about what this person meant by standing at the door like this, could it be that he and Nan Xunyan were discovered? After thinking about it, it was unlikely, and he and Nan Xunyan didn't go out of this room again.
Just when the two of them couldn't figure out the intention of the visitor, they heard a "squeak" sound, Sima Hongyan looked fixedly, only to see the door slowly pushed open from the outside. However, the man outside seemed to be afraid of making a noise, and the action of pushing the door was extremely slow.
It seems that this person is coming in, Sima Hongyan doesn't know if this person is coming for himself and Nan Xunyan, if so, then a fierce battle is inevitable, thinking about it, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and found that his palms were full of sweat.
This kind of waiting is a kind of torment, and Sima Hongyan was worried that the two corpses in the black prison would be discovered, and the chasing soldiers would come in a while. But here again, a strange black shadow outside the door blocked this room, there are enemies in front and behind, it seems that it is really not an ordinary difficulty to escape safely today.
When the door was opened to a gap that was enough to be a person's width, the figure flashed, and the person outside the door instantly entered. After entering the house, the man was short, and he crouched down, and then stopped moving, as if observing the situation in the house.
Sima Hongyan looked through the gap in the wooden cabinet and saw that the person who came in was dressed in black, and even his eyes were covered with transparent black veils, and he should be a man.
Dressed like this, Sima Hongyan immediately felt that this person should not be a hidden guard, but like an infiltrator. Especially looking at his cautious movements, it has nothing to do with the secret guard.
The man surveyed the room, and then took out a piece of paper from his bosom to examine it by the moonlight that came in through the room. Then he looked out of the house from time to time, as if he was comparing himself with the piece of paper. This time, Sima Hongyan was even more sure that this person was also an outsider, and that action was clearly looking at the map to determine the direction.
It's really strange today, I got out of the cage so easily, I had a chance to escape, and I just caught up with a guy who was going to come in in the dark. Such a coincidence, Sima Hongyan also felt speechless.
After checking the map, the man in black stuffed his hand into his arms, stood up and went straight to the back room. Sima Hongyan thought secretly in his heart: "It seems that this person is here to find the entrance to the dungeon!" Fortunately, Sister Nan closed the door when we came out, otherwise we would have been exposed immediately! ”
Sure enough, the man went to the wall where Sima Hongyan and Nan Xunyan came out with a secret door, looked up and down, and pushed back and forth on it with his hand. After a few pushes, he found the secret door, and the man listened carefully to the door for a long time, and after confirming that there was no one, his body disappeared behind the secret door in a flash, and then he heard the sound of the secret door being closed.
Sima Hongyan and Nan Xunyan looked at each other, unable to guess what had just happened. It seems that there are still many people in this hidden dungeon, maybe the man in black just went in to save people.
Sima Hongyan was afraid that the man in black would be found out and cause a commotion after entering, and he must not stop here. Gently pulling the corner of Nan Xunyan's clothes, the two slowly crept out from behind the cabinet. After making sure that there was no one else outside, the two slipped out of the door one after the other.
Fortunately, both of them changed into soldiers' clothes, and when they went out of the room, they straightened their clothes, pretended to be patrolling soldiers, and walked forward along the path. Although the two of them didn't know where the gate of this place was, they both felt that the farther away from that dungeon was better, and every step forward made them feel a little more secure in their hearts.
This mansion is really big, and the two of them walked along the wall for about a stick of incense, and came to a garden, where there are all kinds of rockery and lake pavilions, and there is a small white stone bridge over the small lake in the middle.
The two men were not in the mood to take in the view, and walked quickly through the garden, and were about to continue on, when they spotted a group of soldiers patrolling this way. Although he was wearing the same clothes as them, Sima Hongyan didn't dare to face the night patrol directly, so he pulled south to look for geese, and the two hid behind a rockery.
Sima Hongyan looked out from the hollow of the rockery, just waiting for the group of night patrol soldiers to continue to move forward, but what he didn't expect was that before the patrol came, a person suddenly came out from behind a room on the other side.
Sima Hongyan could see clearly behind the rockery, this person was also dressed in night clothes, his eyes were also covered with transparent black gauze, and his dress was exactly the same as the man in black he saw in the utility room just now.
This person looked left and right, as if he was also thinking of avoiding the patrols who were approaching, and after looking around a few times, he immediately ran towards the rockery where Sima Hongyan and Nan Xunyan were hiding.
Sima Hongyan said in his heart What is the matter tonight, is the black-clothed people gathering? Why did so many men in black come here? You say come on, and you always meet yourself unexpectedly, either blocking your way, or hiding in a place with yourself, I really don't know if I am a murderer of the man in black!
However, the rockery where he was hiding was quite big, and Sima Hongyan and Nan Xunyan were hiding in the corner, Sima Hongyan felt that as long as the man in black did not hide with him, no one could see who was the best. Anyway, as soon as the patrol passes, this man in black will definitely have to leave, and then it will be better not to interfere with each other and go their own way. Besides, I don't know who these black-clothed people are, and if they fight face to face, it will not be beneficial to anyone if they are all exposed.
Although Nan Xunyan's martial arts are high, but the experience in the rivers and lakes does not seem to be very much, and after walking for half a day, she is completely let Sima Hongyan lead the way, she has no opinion at all, she will follow wherever Sima Hongyan goes, without the slightest hesitation. At this time, Jean hid, and she sat down in the corner, not worried about what to do next.
But luck was not bad, the man in black ran from the other side, and naturally hid on the other side of the rockery, Sima Hongyan was secretly relieved. Seeing that the patrol had not passed for the time being, Sima Hongyan turned around and sat down, resting with Nan Xunyan for a while.
Nan Xunyan didn't see any panic at this time, and sat there without saying a word, just raising his head and looking at the moon in the sky. Sima Hongyan didn't know what she was thinking, but it seemed like she was self-absorbed, so she didn't bother.
After sitting for a while, Sima Hongyan suddenly remembered something, looked left and right, slowly pulled out the dagger from his boots, lifted the military uniform he was wearing outside, found the corner of the clothes inside, and gently cut it on it with the tip of the knife, and immediately cut a hole in the corner of the clothes.
Nan Xunyan saw Sima Hongyan's strange movements, so she no longer looked at the moon, but stared at Sima Hongyan curiously, not knowing what she was doing.
At this time, the two of them tried to keep quiet as much as possible, without verbal communication, and Sima Hongyan didn't seem to want to explain anything to Nan Xunyan, so she was busy with the things in hand, but she was very careful and didn't make any sound.
