Chapter 516: Traps and Ambushes
After discussing with Xue Xiaoqi, we let Mengmeng take it and walked towards the place it said.
At this time, Xue Xiaoqi's wine strength and I have already woken up, I have to say, the wine that Chen Xiangzhi gave us to drink, the stamina is really great, even if the wine wakes up, this head still hurts a little, if it wasn't for Meng Meng to wake me up, I would definitely have to sleep until dawn this night, I don't know if Chen Xiangzhi did it intentionally, the purpose is to pour me and Xue Xiaoqi, if he does anything again, we won't notice.
Chen Xiangzhi and Li Yuanyao's house is very large, all of them are antique buildings, during the day, we are accompanied by their couple, not even a third of the way has been completed, if it weren't for Meng Meng told us that there is a very large courtyard in the backyard, we don't know this place.
Meng Meng hid her figure, and at present, it can only be seen by me and Xue Xiaoqi, it floats in the air to show us the way, Xue Xiaoqi and I instead point to the thief on tiptoe, cat waist, and cautiously walk towards another courtyard.
In such a big house, there are very few people in their family, at present, in addition to the Chen couple, there is also a hunchbacked old man, as for whether there are other people, anyway, I don't know.
The whole courtyard was quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and the slight footsteps of Xue Xiaoqi and I as we moved.
No matter where you go, the yard is always filled with the smell of flowers, which can relieve the tension.
At this time, Xue Xiaoqi and I turned a corner and came to a courtyard with a closed gate, and Mengmeng told us that the cellar was in this courtyard.
I gently pushed the door and found that the gate of the courtyard was closed, but these ordinary portals couldn't stop me and Xue Xiaoqi.
I asked Meng Meng if there were any other people in this yard to take care of, or if there were dogs or something.
Meng Meng shook her head and said no.
Since there is none, this is easy to do, Xue Xiaoqi and I glanced at each other, and with a shake of our bodies, we each climbed over the wall and landed lightly in the courtyard.
When we came down, we quickly hid behind a dense bush of flowers, glanced at our surroundings, and saw that there was no danger before we dodged out.
This is also a very large courtyard, at least there is a hundred square meters, the ground is paved with thick stone slabs, Meng Meng floated to a stone slab in the corner of the yard, telling us that those children are hiding under this stone slab.
Xue Xiaoqi and I walked over quietly, I reached out and knocked on the slate, making a muffled sound of "dong dong", the bottom is hollow, if there is really a cat, I and Xue Xiaoqi joined hands and lifted the slate together, I thought that the entrance was immediately below, but after the slate was lifted, Xue Xiaoqi and I were dumbfounded, but I saw that there was a heavy steel plate under the slate, which directly sealed the hole, and there was a mechanism on the slate, which was a hole, It's just like Chen Xiangzhi's studio.
I originally wanted to reach into the hole and see if there was a way to open this mechanism, but Xue Xiaoqi grabbed my arm and said: "Xiao Jiu, don't be reckless, this mechanism is very exquisite, the nine locks below are linked, as long as there is a link wrong, your arm will not be pulled out, and it will be directly shattered inside......
Hearing Xue Xiaoqi say this, I was immediately taken aback, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoqi, how do you know?" ”
"I've heard Chen Xiangzhi say before about the power of this mechanism, he is a master of casting, how can it be so easy for ordinary people to break his mechanism......" Xue Xiaoqi said helplessly.
"Then what should we do, since we want to save people, we must break the mechanism first......" I said a little anxiously.
Xue Xiaoqi pondered for a while, as if thinking of countermeasures, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of slight footsteps behind us, which startled us, and when we turned our heads to look, we found that a person suddenly came out of the shadows, it was the hunchbacked old man who Chen Xiangzhi called Second Uncle Chen.
The old man looked at us gloomily, and suddenly said, "Two distinguished guests, what are you doing here without sleeping at night?" ”
As soon as we saw this old man, Xue Xiaoqi and I were stunned, we thought that there was no one here, but who knew that this hunchbacked old man was actually guarding here, thinking that it was like this, such an important place, no one would look at it.
However, Xue Xiaoqi had an idea, stood up, and said with a smile: "Second Uncle Chen, Brother Xiao Jiu and I just woke up and went out for a stroll, why haven't you slept yet?" ”
The hunchbacked old man snorted coldly and said, "My master treats you very well, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, doing this stealing of chickens and dogs in the middle of the night, and ran to our forbidden land, what are your intentions?" ”
"Second Uncle Chen, you can misunderstand us, we don't know about the forbidden place here, we just wander around......" Xue Xiaoqi said again.
But Second Uncle Chen's face became more and more gloomy, and he said angrily: "Two, didn't you see that the door was locked outside?" Since the door is locked, outsiders are not welcome to come in, you must have climbed over the wall, right? The descendants of the dignified Xue family and the Wu family, so rude, the old man really thinks highly of you......"
The hunchbacked old man sneered, and I was a little breathless, and then I said in a weird manner: "I think the famous refining heroes are nothing more than that, full of morality and righteousness, but behind the scenes they do that dirty and unseemly deed, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, what is hidden under this cellar, dare to open it?" ”
Hearing me say this, the hunchbacked old man's face immediately changed, and he said in a panic: "What is hidden here, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?" Why do you want to see it, and the old man will open it for you? But it doesn't hurt to tell you, this cellar is full of fine materials for refining weapons, and they are very valuable, so you can't come here to steal things, right? ”
I sneered and said, "Which magic weapon on my body is not worth more than what you have here, and you still need to steal it?" I look at the person hiding under the cellar, right? ”
At the same time as I was talking to Second Uncle Chen, I glanced at Xiao Mengmeng floating in the air, and Xiao Mengmeng immediately reacted, pinched her hand, shook her body, and slammed into the back of the hunchbacked old man.
