Chapter 156: Sneaking into the night with the wind

Seeing that Xi Xiunan got off the car, he had his own eyeliner and went to report to Shi Zhiyi. Shi Zhiyi, who had been wandering around the south gate of Kyoto for a long time, quickly left the city after receiving the news and disappeared into the vast night.

As the only prosperous city on the mainland with a population of 10 million, Kyoto has more than 100,000 people entering and leaving the city every day, and Kyoto is located in the hinterland of the human race, and has never been invaded by war for tens of thousands of years, so there are not so many security concerns, so compared to most cities, the city gate is closed much later every day.

When Shi Zhiyi left the city, it was already dark, because it was a cloudy day, and he couldn't see the moon, so after leaving the brightly lit south city gate, the surroundings soon fell into darkness where he couldn't see his fingers.

Shi Zhiyi was in a secluded place, changed into a full set of dark night clothes, and put on a black mask, wrapped in dark black all over his body, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. In order to deal with the possibility of a battle, he must give it his all without leaving any hands behind.

When Shi Zhiyi finished changing his clothes and passed the time of tea, he saw the huge south gate slowly closing from a distance. In this way, unless Daxi Xiunan went to the eldest prince to get the prince's personal token to go out of the city, he could only spend the night in Kyoto City.

Turning over the horse, Shi Zhiyi ran in the direction of the detention village in the dark. The snow horse under his crotch was also purchased through secret channels, extremely fast, and there was no sign on his body, in case it was lost in the detention village, Ren Daxi's hands and eyes were all over the sky, and its origin could not be found.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Shi Zhiyi had approached the manor, which was located southeast of Kyoto. In the dark night, even though Shi Zhiyi's eyes could see at night, he couldn't see clearly, only the shadows of the houses were visible, like a giant beast crawling on a plain.

Tethering the horse in a small forest, Shi Zhiyi unfolded his body and approached the detention village. Detention Village covers an area of nearly 100 hectares, and it is naturally impossible to fortify everywhere, so Shi Zhiyi chose a secluded corner and climbed over the wall.

On one side of the manor is a wilderness, and a small river winds its way through it to a small lake that should be used for daily horseback riding. On the other side, there are hundreds of houses and thousands of houses, which look like a huge labyrinth from afar.

With so many rooms, if you look for them one by one, let alone one night, even if you give Shi Zhiyi half a month, it may not be enough. However, Shi Zhiyi had already used the information of Wangjianglou before, and eliminated the courtyards, kitchens, toilets and other locations where those servants and maids lived, and targeted the main courtyard, stables, back gardens, and a suspected water prison.

The daily defense level of the detention village is not high, because this is just a courtyard of the Daxi family, and although the manor is large, there are actually not many valuable things. But now that the second son, Da Xi Xiunan, lives here, the level of defense has also been raised by more than one notch, and from time to time you can see a team of patrolling guards passing by with knives and guns.

However, for Shi Zhiyi, the threat of these guards who are generally not in the marrow washing realm is not great. Even if there are a few captain-level martial artists who are in the Dawn Breaking Realm, it is difficult to find Shi Zhiyi, who is dressed in black at this time, moves quickly, and uses the Star and Moon stealth method to shuttle short distances from time to time.

Of the several suspicious places, the one that appears to be a water dungeon is undoubtedly the most likely. However, the location where Shi Zhiyi came in was very far away from that place, so Shi Zhiyi had to start from the stable closest to him.

The reason why the stables are listed as a key object of suspicion is that there is a huge warehouse next to the stables, where some of the transported goods are directly unloaded, so as to reduce the trouble caused by secondary transportation, and at the same time, it can also play a role in the secrecy of some of the more important goods.

There was no one to guard the stables at night, only nearly a hundred horses and more than twenty pack rhinos, the pack rhinos were fine, mild-mannered, even if they saw strangers, there was no sign of panic or uneasiness, and among those horses there were some psychic fellows, smelling the breath of strangers, and began to snort anxiously from afar.

However, when Shi Zhiyi approached, the trace of dragon breath contained in his bloodline began to become clear, although this breath had no effect on the human race and was almost imperceptible, but for these horses and pack rhinos and other animals, it was suppressed from the depths of the bloodline, and suddenly all trembling and lying on the ground, the atmosphere did not dare to make a sound. Shi Zhiyi smoothly passed through the middle of the stable and came to the front of the barn.

On the iron door of the barn hangs a copper lock with a thousand springs, the key of this lock is extremely difficult to imitate, and more importantly, the master key used by some clever thieves does not work at all for it, so it is very secure.

But in front of Shi Zhiyi, these are not problems. One force will drop ten, and in front of his tens of thousands of catties of huge force, the thousand-spring copper lock that is the size of two palms of an adult is directly broken into two.

The shaft of the barn's door was apparently regularly maintained, and there was no sound when the door was pushed open. Shi Zhiyi got in through the crack in the door and closed the door from the inside.

The warehouse was naturally dark, Shi Zhiyi took out a night pearl from the ring, and a faint layer of light suddenly sprinkled all over the space of five zhang square beside him. This night pearl was originally picked up in the cave of the giant dragon Baichen in Wenxu Mountain, and at that time, a total of two of them were picked up and given to the county lord of Yi Ning, and later Yi Ning stuffed one of them to Shi Zhiyi.

Hundreds of huge spruce trees are stacked in the barn, as well as pieces of cut and shaped star rock, and the number is in the thousands. Both of these are good building materials and should be used to build houses. In addition, there are tens of thousands of boxes of various medicinal materials needed to refine pills, which are stacked in the warehouse, although Shi Zhiyi does not have time to check them one by one, but estimates their value, I am afraid that it will not be less than millions of taels of gold.

Although the Daxi family is the overlord of the medicinal materials industry in Kyoto, such a huge amount of medicinal raw materials still shocked Shi Zhiyi. In line with the principle of receiving what is coming, he received all the items in the warehouse into his ring space - now he and the Daxi family have become like fire and water due to the previous battle in Puzhou and the different positions on the matter of establishing the prince, and the mercy to the enemy is tantamount to cruelty to himself.

After collecting the things, the whole warehouse was empty, and the walls were visible. Not to mention hiding a living person, not even a mouse has ever seen one. Shi Zhiyi was not at ease, and carefully checked the ground and walls again, and after confirming that there was no secret room, he closed the door and left quietly.

The inspection of the main courtyard is much more troublesome than the stables. Because this is the place where the princes or elders lived when they came, if Daxi Xiunan was there at this time, he would have lived here. Therefore, the defense here is tighter than the rest of the manor, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and there are maids and servants coming and going from time to time.

Although Da Xi Xiunan did not come back, the cleaning and tea supper and other processes were as usual. Shi Zhiyi tried his best to check several rooms in the main courtyard.

With his knowledge of the structure of the room and his own experience, he finally found a secret room behind the bookshelves in the largest room, but all that was stored in it was gold and files, and there was no sign of anyone at all. Just as he was about to go out, he heard footsteps coming towards the room, and hurriedly restored the bookshelves to their original state, while the man hid in the closet.
