Chapter 172, Siege
Xiao Yan stood at the door and was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought that the person who told the Pan family that there would be immortals in this courtyard was afraid that he would not be happy.
It's just that that night it was a coincidence that the people of the Pan family met Xiao Yan after they came, and there were many changes later, those people from the Pan family were not attacked by the filthy life, and died on the spot, and Xiao Yan also triggered a mission.
However, no matter what the result was at that time, at least one thing is certain, those who tell the Pan family that there are immortals in this mansion at least know what is in this house, and most of them also know where Mrs. Pan's illness came from.
In other words, this person probably knows about the distribution of all the stoppers in the entire capital, if not all, but at least most of them.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's right hand shook slightly, feeling happy for his new discovery, at this moment, Yuan Daotong's hand suddenly leaned out from behind the threshold, grabbed Xiao Yan's right arm, pulled it hard, and pulled Xiao Yan into the courtyard, and at the same time whispered: "Are you crazy, when are you not thinking about it, why are you in a daze here?" ”
Without waiting for Xiao Yan to respond, Yuan Daotong said again: "Those patrols in the back, the Jinyi guards came too quickly, as if they were ready early in the morning, plus the crossbow arrow just now, most of them are still involved in the forbidden army, don't stay too much at the door, go in and talk about it." ”
Xiao Yan frowned again, and then realized that in this capital, it was not necessarily the emperor's first and second Dongchang, and the undercurrent was surging more and more complicated than he imagined.
The two of them bypassed the shadow wall, quickly walked through the first courtyard in front, and entered the second courtyard from the middle gate converted from the main house, and arrived here. Yuan Daotong closed the door with his backhand. Glancing at the door frame. Nodding slightly, he said, "It's just a patrol, Jinyiwei, don't get close to this courtyard." ”
Without waiting for Xiao Yan to reply, Yuan Daotong had already taken a few steps back, and two huge stone lions turned out from the flower bed not far away, and he didn't know who had moved these two stone lions from the gate here, they looked heavy and abnormal. However, such a weight does not seem to be worth mentioning to Yuan Daotong.
With a slight force of his hands, he had already grabbed the lion, and his fingers were directly buckled into the stone, and the stone chips fell down the lion's head.
When Xiao Yan saw this, he had thoughts in his heart, but this thinking had nothing to do with the courtyard and this trial shijie, what he thought was that if Yuan Daotong went to London to try shijie and fight with Jack, he didn't know what the result would be at that time.
In Xiao Yan stunned time. Yuan Daotong had already stacked the two lions behind the main entrance, in this case. Not to mention a few brocade guards, even if a large group of people come, they don't need to go to the hammer, and don't think about opening this main gate for a while.
After cleaning up, Yuan Daotong turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and said: "You go to the back to investigate, I am here to look at you, if there is something, I will only call you out, remember, don't mess around, if there is anything, just see it in your eyes, at this time, I can't wait to be attacked before and after." ”
Xiao Yan smiled secretly again, and had the heart to say that he was a natural unlucky king, even if he didn't cause trouble, things would get into trouble, but this kind of thing was useless at this time, he nodded, Xiao Yan said: "I'll go to investigate, you should be careful." ”
After speaking, Xiao Yan stopped being verbose, turned his head and walked along the corridor towards the third mansion.
The stopper is not necessarily in the courtyard at the back, but the small lotus pond is mostly in that courtyard, and if you want to find any clues, you need to start from the small pavilion next to the lotus pond.
Pushing open the small wooden door that was concealed, Xiao Yan walked into the third courtyard, and sure enough, as he expected, not far from the corridor, there was a small pond, and on the edge of the pond, it was the pavilion where he stayed when he came to this trial, at this time, although during the day, the air death wind lanterns hanging in the four corners of the pavilion were still bright, and he didn't know how long the lanterns had been burning like this.
Although he knew that the lantern was different, but it was obviously not enough time to just check the lantern, Xiao Yan did not enter the pavilion, and took a look around the pavilion, and sure enough, he saw a few rows of footprints, his heels were facing the direction of the pond, and his toes were facing the direction of the pavilion, wet, although the sun was shining on his head, but these footprints were under the shade of the trees, and they were not dry for a while, and they were actually left on the bluestone steps, and he didn't seem to know when he left.
Xiao Yan didn't bend down to take a closer look, just sniffed with his nose, and sure enough, these footprints exuded an extremely strong smell of blood, which was no different from the smell emanating from those hellish creatures, obviously, these footprints did not dry up, not entirely because they were blocked by the shade of the trees, most of them had a lot to do with the bloody breath in the footprints.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the lotus pond, glanced at it, his head suddenly became dizzy, and somehow, he actually saw that under the sparkling water, there was actually a pool of viscous blood floating, these blood didn't know how heavy it was, and it had been sinking to the bottom of the water without floating.
It is precisely because of these blood and water that this pool is so withered, Xiao Yan looked at it carefully, and the drowsiness in his mind became even heavier, but he vaguely saw that those scattered lotus stems existed, and what were the bones that were not human beings floating on the surface of the water?
Xiao Yan shook his head vigorously, his eyes suddenly became clear, the pool water was still shining, the lotus stalks on the water surface were still the same, completely calm and natural, where were those bloody human bones?
Xiao Yan was secretly shocked in his heart, this kind of dizziness in the past was a precursor to him seeing the strange shijie, this feeling has been with him for a long time, until recently he often entered the trial shijie, thinking that the problem of seeing the different shijie had disappeared, but where did he think that in such a trial shijie, it would actually reappear now.
However, this feeling is still the same as before, but it is hard to find, and when you really need this kind of vision, you often can't do it, and you don't know when, it will appear on its own.
Xiao Yan shook his head, took a closer look at this pool, turned around the pavilion and looked again, and then retreated, already determined in his heart that this pool was most likely the mission goal that came to this trial shijie, and it seems that this task has not been triggered, so it has been kept until now.
However, Xiao Yan doesn't plan to trigger the task here now, although it is broad daylight, and the intense light has a strong weakening and killing effect on those hellish creatures, maybe he can easily complete the task here without Xiao Yan using Lux's gratitude, but it will take at least 2 hours to complete this kind of main quest, and 2 hours of time, what Yuan Daotong who is guarding the middle gate may encounter, is not something that Xiao Yan can know.
Just like Yuan Daotong said, at this time, the most feared thing is to be attacked from both sides, even if the level of the opponent who is caught on both sides is not high, once it becomes chaotic, it will make people scramble, and even lose their lives, not to mention, once the task is taken on this side of the pool, the monsters that appear are at least level 3 creatures, as for the brocade guards and patrols on the side of the middle gate, most of the levels will not be too low.
Tasks can be triggered at any time in the future, but safety is a priority now.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan didn't continue to wander around the pavilion, retreated a distance, searched briefly in the main room of the wing in this backyard, didn't see more problems, turned around and left the backyard, and returned to the middle courtyard.
Seeing Yuan Daotong sitting cross-legged on a stone table from a distance, Xiao Yan walked over and asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”
"No, if you want to know, just go up to the roof and take a look, but don't be surprised and scared."
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, did not hesitate, stepped on the thick trees planted by the side of the wing, and jumped to the roof of the wing house in the middle courtyard after a few verticals.
Looking down, Xiao Yan couldn't help but gasp, in the front yard, it was densely packed with people, for a while, Xiao Yan almost thought that he had come to the Nine Cities Governor's Division, but look at these governors, occasionally mixed with some people wearing brocade guards flying fish suits, these people are standing there, whispering from time to time, not daring to take the initiative to hit the wooden door in the middle, as if they are afraid of something, and seem to be waiting for something.
"What do you think?"
I don't know when, Yuan Daotong was already standing behind Xiao Yan, with the help of the canopy around him, the people in the front yard did not notice anything abnormal for a while, and the conversation between the two was not afraid of being heard.
"Good thing," Xiao Yan suddenly said: "A thousand days to prevent thieves, there are always omissions, and now these people are gathered together, isn't it the most haode opportunity?" ”
When Yuan Daotong heard this, he also smiled slightly, and said, "You can think about it, but you forgot something?" Dongchang and the forbidden army fought against those monsters last night, regardless of success or failure, the vitality is already a big injury, even if you want to wipe out these people in front of you, I'm afraid you can't. ”
Xiao Yan was quiet for a while and said, "Dongchang can't, the forbidden army can't, there are always capable people." ”
Yuan Daotong glanced at Xiao Yan in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "Borrow a knife to kill someone?" ”
Xiao Yan glanced meaningfully at the courtyard behind him, and replied: "That's right, the Dongchang Forbidden Army has fought with those monsters, and this time everyone else must also be killed and injured together, so as not to make anyone stand alone." ”
Yuan Daotong stroked his palms and smiled, and said: "You are a neat and eclectic person, but I like it very much, if you stay for a while, I am willing to talk to you for a while, and my heart is also refreshing." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and were about to speak, when they suddenly heard a few horses running into the door outside the door, and the school official who ran in front shouted: "There is a holy decree, there are people in this house who bewitch the people and do that bad thing. ”
There was a commotion immediately among the many patrols, and someone asked loudly: "The little fairy of Baiyunguan is also in this house, don't you say that the little fairy is also a demon to confuse the public?" ”
The school officer smiled coldly, took out a sign and shook it, and said, "What do you have to say, do you dare to say it?" (To be continued......)
