Chapter 184: Exploring the Dark Pavilion at Night
The night was like ink, a few stars hung sparsely in the sky, the moon quietly hid in the clouds, except for the chirping of unknown insects, the whole city of Wucheng was in the silence of the summer night.
Two black shadows flashed quickly on the dark roof of Wucheng like ghosts, and flew all the way to the towering mansion in the center of Wucheng.
The two of them were dressed in black night clothes, lying dormant on the eaves of the highest part of the City Lord's Mansion, and the pattern of the entire City Lord's Mansion was unobstructed.
Shangguan Jiyue looked at the dark buildings below, and frowned. I saw almost identical courtyards next to each other, and houses next to each other. Looking down from afar, it looks like a modern "hollow-shaped maze". If it weren't for the ever-bright lights lit on the promenade in the courtyard, almost nothing would have been clear.
Mo Yi obviously saw it too, his eyes flashed, he raised his eyes to look at Shangguan Jiyue beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qi, there are so many rooms in this city lord's mansion, where is the dark pavilion?" ”
When Shangguan Jiyue heard this, she couldn't help but focus on the City Lord's Mansion again, carefully looking at the houses that looked exactly the same, as well as the guards who patrolled regularly.
"Brother Qi, why don't we go our separate ways and look for them one by one?" Mo Yi asked again.
"I look for them one by one, and I can't find them at dawn!"
"What then?"
Shangguan Jiyue slowly closed her eyes, carefully recalling the words of the big man who was going to kill her. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly opened her eyes, and said quickly: "Find the two-story small building in the center of the City Lord's Mansion!" ”
"A two-story building?!"
"That's right! Although the city lord's mansion is large, most of the periphery is tiled houses, and there are not many two-story small buildings in the main courtyard, right? Since the things in the dark pavilion are so important, there must be guards to focus on guarding them. ”
Mo Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and his eyes were concentrated on looking around the main courtyard for a two-story building.
After about a pillar of incense, they found a total of nine two-story small buildings, and when they looked closely, these nine small buildings were evenly distributed, as if someone had deliberately arranged them like this. If it weren't for the fact that they looked down from the top, they really wouldn't have been able to find this detail.
Moreover, the guards of this patrol are basically the most closely patrolled around these nine small buildings, so this dark pavilion must be one of these nine small buildings.
Shangguan Jiyue and Mo Yi exchanged glances, and the two flew down, avoiding the palace guards, and acted separately. After another two incense sticks, the two returned to the distance again, shaking their heads at the same time, indicating that they had found nothing.
"Impossible! Obviously, the drunk man said that the dark pavilion is a two-story small building, and it is impossible not to have it. ”
Mo Yi sighed and said in a low voice: "Brother Qi, there really isn't, every two-story small building has a name, and none of the small buildings are signed by the Secret Pavilion." ”
"Is there anything else I didn't think of?"
Shangguan Jiyue pondered for a moment, her deep black eyes shining in the night, and she watched closely at the route of the guards.
Finally, her eyes lit up, pointed to a two-story building in front of her, and said softly: "Moyi, look! All the guards passed by that small building the most times during their patrols, and that small building was the only one without lights, and the other eight small buildings all had faint lights, what does this mean?! ”
"What does it mean?" Mo Yi was a little puzzled, "Maybe the candles in that small building just burned out?" ”
"No!" Shangguan Jiyue denied Mo Yi's guess, "If the candle just burned out, then there will definitely be someone on duty to go and relight it, but half a day has passed since we came here, and it is still pitch black, which means that that the small building is a place that people will not enter casually on weekdays!" ”
"That's right!" Mo Yi slapped his thighs vigorously, and a pair of peach blossom eyes exuded a strange brilliance, "Brother Qi is really observant, if you don't say it, I really haven't noticed." It seems that this small building must be a dark pavilion! ”
Shangguan Jiyue's eyes flashed slightly, and she pulled the black scarf up again, covering her mouth and nose, revealing only a pair of eyes, and whispered: "We only have this chance tonight, it is a matter of the lives of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, we must be careful in everything, and we must not be careless, once the drunk man is discovered tomorrow, the formation map will inevitably be transferred." If you want to find it again, it's a needle in a haystack! ”
"Mo Yi understands!"
Mo Yi nodded solemnly, pulled up the scarf and was about to fly down, but Shangguan Jiyue suddenly stopped: "Wait a little longer!" ”
"Why? Now that you know the location of the Dark Pavilion, what are you waiting for? ”
"Wait a minute."
"Wait a minute?!"
Shangguan Jiyue looked up at the sky, hooked her lips and smiled: "We waited until the moment before dawn to do it, when the night has passed, the dawn is coming, the nerves of the guards who have been nervous all night will suddenly relax, it is the time when they are the most sleepy and tired, and it is also the time when the defense is the weakest, we will do it at that time!" ”
Although Mo Yi couldn't fully understand Shangguan Jiyue's words, and he didn't know what nerves were, he also roughly understood what Shangguan Jiyue meant, and nodded: "Okay!" Mo listened to Big Brother Qi! ”
The night was destined to be unpeaceful.
Another corner of the City Lord's Mansion.
In the dimly lit living room, the slender figure of the man stood in front of the window, slightly raising his head to look at the dark sky outside the window, silent, his eyes were as bright as stars in the dark, and he was not sleepy.
Lu Weihe, who was on the side, glanced at the sky outside the window, and asked with some uncertainty: "City Lord, it's the fourth watch, will they still come?" ”
The man's figure did not move, and his tone was light and affirmative: "Yes, she knows very well that she only has this chance to get the formation map, and she will definitely take risks." ”
"If you don't come again, the sky will be bright." Lu Weihe was middle-aged, and he couldn't help but feel sleepy, and couldn't help yawning, "Could it be that they haven't found the dark pavilion until now?" After all, the little bit of information we revealed was too subtle. ”
"If we reveal too much, I'm afraid she will be suspicious, even if General Tian Wei reveals only a few clues, with her cleverness and wit, she will definitely find the secret pavilion."
"Then why haven't they shown up yet?"
The man's eyes were misty and profound, and he was silent for a long time and said, "Maybe she is somewhere in the mansion now, waiting for the time she thinks is most appropriate......"
The night is still dark.
After waiting for more than half an hour, until Mo Yidu was almost impatient with waiting, and he couldn't stand the sleepiness and was about to doze off, Shangguan Jiyue said in a low voice: "Action!" ”
Mo Yi woke up as soon as he was excited, and Rourou's hazy eyes were about to rush out.
Shangguan Jiyue grabbed his arm, looked at him fixedly, and said solemnly: "Mo Yi, everything must come first with your own personal safety!" If you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood, nothing is more important than your life! ”
When Mo heard this, his heart warmed, and he nodded heavily: "Brother Qi, you are the same!" ”
After speaking, the two of them gathered their strength, flew down, and swept towards the small building in front of them on the left like a gust of wind.
At this time, those patrol guards, after nearly a night of suffering, the formation is far less neat than at midnight, and some people yawn from time to time, and in a daze, they only smell a breeze blowing, and they are completely unaware that there are two more people on the eaves at this time.
As soon as the patrolling guards left, Shangguan Jiyue and Mo both flew down from the eaves and landed silently.
"Brother Qi, look!"
