Chapter 085: Basement
Alive? Both of them were shocked, not only were they alive, but they were also fresh when they heard the strength of the impact.
"Could it be that they locked the people of the Xu family underground?" Mu Zhaoyun was puzzled: "Why are you locked underground?" Is it because it's too dangerous? But if it's so dangerous, why not just get rid of it, or abolish his martial arts? What is the reason for being locked underground? ”
The two looked at each other, obviously neither of them could answer the question.
Ning Yue said: "I don't think even the guards outside may know, this question may only be answered by Steward Jiang and Shen Qingyan." ”
"But they don't necessarily say." Mu Zhaoyun said this fact that hurt his self-esteem very firmly: "They are guarding against me." ”
"No, it won't." Ning Yue was stunned: "Now that Master Hou is not here, you are the master of the house in Black Wind City." Steward Jiang and Shen Qingyan said that Qiandao is just a subordinate, so he won't guard against you, but he has been busy with the plague in the past few days, and he hasn't asked. ”
"If you don't guard against me, you don't need me to ask." Mu Zhaoyun said: "Think about it from another angle, if Jiang Xingyuan is here, do you need him to ask what happened?" As long as it is a major matter, Jiang Xingyuan and Shen Qingyan should report it in detail as soon as they go back. ”
Then you are not Jiang Xingyuan after all, Ning Yue thought about it and kindly did not pour cold water on her. What's more, it is obvious that he has a bad relationship with Steward Jiang, and he doesn't take Shen Qingyan very seriously, how can he expect people to take the initiative to report the situation?
Mu Zhaoyun didn't think too much about it: "Actually, they are guarding against me, why am I not guarding against them, and I am cheating, it's not a big deal." They don't say, I can look for myself and look to see if there is an entrance to the basement. ”
Ning Yue actually felt that their current behavior was a little bad at this moment, but seeing that Mu Zhaoyun had already started to look for it, he was really curious in his heart, so he didn't stop it, and followed to find it together.
And Mu Zhaoyun's temperament can be regarded as a point or two, where can she do what she wants to do so easily to stop.
Mu Zhaoyun even jumped on the ground and said, "Listen to the sound, the underground is empty." ”
If the scope of this basement is as large as the scope of this courtyard, or it accounts for most of the area of this courtyard, then this basement is not small, and the Xu family has been doing it for so many years, what are they doing, it makes people feel creepy to think about it.
It's just that the two of them searched all over the vicinity of the rockery, and they didn't find an entrance that could enter the basement, so they didn't seem to be very good at this.
I was standing in the middle of the yard thinking about it when I suddenly heard footsteps outside.
"Someone came in." Mu Zhaoyun looked around: "Hide first." ”
Saying that, she took the lead and went to the side of the room, although Ning Yue felt that they would not be so sneaky, even if they were discovered, there would be nothing, but she still hid according to her words.
Mu Zhaoyun is quite skilled in this matter, and he has done this kind of thing before.
The door of the room is hidden, maybe there is nothing inside, maybe because the outside has been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, so the door inside is not so concerned.
Fortunately, the room is not empty, there are a bunch of things in a mess, and there is no problem in hiding two people.
Mu Zhaoyun immediately pulled Ning Yue to shrink in the corner of the wall, and took a few rags to cover his head.
Ning Yue covered his lips and coughed lowly, only then could he hold back a laugh, but his expression was still a little distorted.
"What's wrong?" Mu Zhaoyun said: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"No, nothing." Ning Yue pursed his lips: "It's just that I haven't dodged like this before, I think this experience is quite interesting, and I see that your movements are very skillful, as if you are used to doing it." ”
It's not a good thing to hide so skillfully. Mu Zhaoyun thought about it and smiled: "Look at what you said, in fact, I am also the first time, and I am not skilled at all." ”
Ning Yue nodded, and did not force the correct answer, and was very kind to help Mu Zhaoyun protect that meager face.
It was easy for the two of them to get right, and sure enough, I heard footsteps coming in from outside, and it sounded like there were four or five people, in a hurry.
"Master Hou, this is it." Someone said something and pushed the door open.
Mu Zhaoyun paused for a moment, there was only one Hou Ye in Black Wind City, and Jiang Xingyuan came back.
Ning Yue also heard this, and also glanced at Mu Zhaoyun. At this moment, his mood was more complicated.
I didn't think about it so much just now, but now I think about it carefully, if the two of them are discovered, because Mu Zhaoyun is here, probably no one will think that they are trying to harm people. But probably other things are not clear.
For example, why did the two of them appear here together, a lonely man and a widow, Jiang Xingyuan's face can be imagined to be very exciting.
Ning Yue didn't want to offend Jiang Xingyuan at all, but seeing that Mu Zhaoyun was really so calm, he felt that he was a villain if he thought about it a little more. And it's come to this, it's too late to retreat.
Ning Yue could only breathe with Mu Zhaoyun as if he didn't exist.
Fortunately, Jiang Xingyuan was also in a hurry after they entered the house, and it didn't seem that they had met Steward Jiang, or they didn't know why the news that they had mixed in was not connected to the outside, so no one suspected that someone had mixed in.
Someone said: "Master Hou, it's here, it's dark inside, be careful." ”
There was a bang, and something was lifted.
Mu Zhaoyun glanced at Ning Yue, it turned out that the authentic secret door was inside the house, no wonder they searched around outside and didn't find it. But fortunately, Jiang Xingyuan and they went directly into the house, if they also stayed near the rockery, maybe they could find the traces they just left, such as freshly broken branches or something.
When all the people went down to the basement, the room fell silent.
Mu Zhaoyun leaned over a little and said in a very low voice: "Wait for them to come out in a while, let's go down and see." ”
Although Ning Yue couldn't understand why Mu Zhaoyun wanted to avoid Jiang Xingyuan, it was really embarrassing to think about it now, so just avoid it. Don't bump into each other on the spot, maybe it's better for everyone.
There were some indescribable voices from the ground, and after a while, there was a movement in the corner of the wall, and Jiang Xingyuan and they came out.
Say as you go.
"Master." The subordinate said, "How to deal with these things?" ”
Jiang Xingyuan probably shook his head: "I really didn't expect that someone would do such a thing in Black Wind City. If it weren't for this plague, I don't know when it would be discovered. ”
"Yes." The man said: "This time it is really thanks to Madame, if Madame hadn't rushed to the Jiaoyuan Cemetery overnight, she would not have been able to reveal their secrets." ”
Jiang Xingyuan didn't speak, probably not commenting on this matter. I didn't want to evaluate it in front of outsiders, so I paused and said, "Is Madame in the house now?" ”
"......" The man hesitated: "It should be there, this subordinate doesn't know very well, Master Hou is not in the mansion, who dares to ask about Madame's affairs?" ”
