Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Enchanting Courtyard

I tried to look through the crowd, but I didn't see Xin Yi.

In the midst of all the noise, it was extremely dangerous and unrealistic for me to dive in.

After all, none of the guests in Jiu'er felt that they were weak with the aura they exuded, at least they were all more powerful nobles, and if they wanted to dive over and eavesdrop on what they said in front of everyone, it was obviously too unlikely that they would not be discovered.

I was lucky enough to follow a waterway to the end and didn't swim to the branch, otherwise it would have been very likely that I would have broken into the artificial lake and been discovered.

Dozens of meters away, and in the dark rockery, I was still sure that I would not be discovered by them.

While the group was in the midst of their drinking, I saw that I had risen out of the water and climbed over the low wall next to the rockery to another courtyard.

I was completely new to this place, and it was much quieter than the brightly lit courtyard where the banquet was being held.

I originally wanted to find out Xinyi's whereabouts here, and of course I didn't mind walking to every yard.

So, under the cover of this darkness, I began to explore around Jiu'er's temporary home under his nose.

After carefully passing through three courtyards in a row, I didn't find anything, such a big mansion, so many rooms, obviously there are people in each room is unrealistic.

Of the three courtyards that I had explored, two of them were deserted courtyards, and the other was supposed to be the dwelling of the people, for in them I saw several people who were already resting.

I left in a hurry, but I retreated.

After all, it is not efficient to break into Jiu'er's house like this headless fly, and if there are any taboos that accidentally break in, I will appear very passive.

Besides, this house is so big, and the various gardens and courtyards are intertwined, and when it is so dark for the first time, it is not necessary to get lost.

And these subordinates who serve Jiu'er are obviously familiar with this mansion, I thought about it, these subordinates are the strength of ordinary civilians, I can completely take away a subordinate without knowing it, at least first understand what the structure of this mansion is, and what kind of people live here, it is better than me breaking here.

As for what to do afterwards, I haven't thought about it yet.

Just as I was thinking and weighing the pros and cons, there was a sound of footsteps from the courtyard next to me, and listening to the footsteps, it was clear that they were coming towards the courtyard of this subordinate.

I immediately found a secret place to hide, and within two minutes I saw two women hurrying to the courtyard with oil lamps and trays.

"I don't know how long this feast will last? I've been a constant guest since last night, and I was on duty last night. One of the women looked tired, clearly complaining.

"Let's not talk about that. It's not that you don't know the temper of your master, and others think it's a great blessing to be able to serve Jiu'er Gongzi. But "in the face of the complaint of the first female subordinate, the other female subordinate was much more careful, she persuaded the first female subordinate, but when it came to the key point, she consciously lost her words, and couldn't help but subconsciously cover her mouth with her arm.

The first female subordinate obviously knew what she was going to say, and also whispered: "I know it in my heart, you be careful." This courtyard was done by the servants who did the rough work during the day, and although they did not know the key to it, it was miserable to hear what was heard and reached the ears of their masters. ”

"Yes. But it should be okay, after all, the master is about to be happy, and he shouldn't punish us much. The other woman comforted herself.

But I subconsciously feel bad in my heart, what is Jiu'er's great joy is coming? Is it Hexinyi? But didn't the news to the outside world say that Xin Yi would be judged? I feel like I've done the right thing to find Xin Yi in advance, and I seem to know something by mistake?

Just like there is a blessing from heaven in the dark, this time the operation to Qinglong City was relatively smooth.

Just as I was about to analyze something from the words of the two female servants, the first female subordinate spoke again: "Indeed, this happy event is what the master is looking forward to. It was okay before, although the master's character was a little ruthless, but it was not unpredictable, since the one came, the master was like a different person, and all the moods went with the attitude of the one. You said that the master should be happy that this happy event is near, but in my heart, I am always careful, because the attitude of the master does not follow the master's wishes. ”

"Really?" Another female servant hurriedly asked.

While the two were talking, they were already in a hurry to get out of this courtyard, and I intuitively felt that there was important information in their conversation, how to miss it, so I quietly followed.

These two female subordinates are different from those who have slept in the courtyard, judging from their aura, they actually have the identity of nobles, so I am still twelve points careful to eavesdrop on their conversations at close range.

And in such a cautious situation, they even talked all the way, and they did not find any trace of me.

From their conversation, I know a little bit of the situation, probably Jiu'er's mood or something, the mood is changed by the attitude of someone in this mansion towards him.

In addition, among these two subordinates, one of them has served the person who affected Jiu'er's mood, and the information revealed in her words should be that person's attitude towards Jiu'er has not changed much, although Jiu'er's happy event is approaching, but the mood is not as happy as it seems.

It is easy to deduce from the words of the two daughters that the person who wants to marry Jiu'er is obviously the one who affects Jiu'er's mood, and that person doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic about Jiu'er.

I don't know if my analysis is correct, but my mood has become a little excited, who else is such a person but Xin Yi?

If it was really Xin Yi, then she should be in this mansion.

It's a pity that I don't know where she will live in this mansion, and the two women are already discussing, all the way to another brightly lit place, it turns out that this is the kitchen, and it seems that they should have come here to serve wine and food to Jiu'er's banquet.

At this point, there are still many people in the kitchen who are busy, because there is a trace of important clues about Xin Yi, I originally wanted to take a risk to take a subordinate hostage, directly find the courtyard where Xin Yi is, and take Xin Yi away to end everything.

But I didn't do that, because in the dungeon I didn't just take Xinyi with me, there was nothing else to do, I couldn't take any chances.

I also want to help Ye Xiao fulfill his wish, this is what I personally promised the Ye family's mother and son, and I also promised Ye Xiao in my heart.

Therefore, I was not impulsive, but quietly withdrew from the kitchen, still planning to be careful and personally find out which courtyard Xin Yi was in.

With this in mind, I began to look around the courtyard again, and with a little memory and a good sense of space, I did not get lost, nor did I take any repetitive paths, and finally I felt a little different when I found the 11th courtyard, which was closest to the center of the mansion.

This is the largest of all the courtyards, with a large garden and a lotus pond on its own.

I don't know what method they used to grow water lilies in a place like a dungeon? You know, this is not the same as the fake jungle behind the rockery that is piled up with dry branches, it is a real water lily, and the whole mansion is the only place with such a luxurious arrangement.

Supposedly, this should be the owner's courtyard.

However, Jiu'er was clearly drinking in that water pavilion, and this courtyard should be dark, but this courtyard was not dark, and the house behind the pond was still lit with warm yellow lights.

I don't know why, but when I saw this warm yellow light, my mood naturally began to feel a little warm, and there was an indescribable nervousness.

There was a faint fragrance wafting throughout the courtyard, just like the warm fragrance of a woman, all of which made my originally vigilant heart slowly relax.

Almost unconsciously, I walked out of the secret place where I was hiding, and by the time I realized it, I was very close to the lighted house.

This discovery made me break out in a cold sweat, how could I act so presumptuously? Even if Xin Yi is inside, I shouldn't be so careless? Fortunately, the mansion was quiet at this time, otherwise I would have retreated cautiously, for when I was awake, I felt the Ten Thousand Souls Flower in my soul swaying gently.

If nothing else, how could Ten Thousand Souls Flower react like this? The battle two days ago seemed to have also caused Wan Soul Flower to fall into a state of exhaustion, otherwise this kind of alertness to me should have come more timely and strongly.

Hiding in a secluded corner again, I quickly gathered my mind and carefully observed and sensed the courtyard, and after only a moment, I frowned.

Why is this compound shrouded in a special energy field? To be exact, there is an aura of charm wafting throughout the courtyard.
