Chapter 16: Good Talent
The moon was full of stars, and You Ziji took advantage of the change of guards to avoid them and sneak in.
The courtyard of the yamen is not big, it is already the middle of the night at this time, the courtyard is deserted, and there is no one in sight.
In the distance, you can hear a commotion from the side garden, the lights are bright, and it is obvious that someone is drinking and having fun.
If you look closely, you can find a sparse figure next to the corridor in front of the courtyard, which should be a sentry officer.
A figure flickered, flashed over, and came to the study, where there was no one to guard, and it was really lucky.
At this time, it was early summer, the weather was hot, and the window of the study in front of me was open, supported by a bamboo stick, and breathed by the cool breeze of the evening.
You Ziji was afraid of making a noise when he opened the door, so he alarmed the guards and went to the window to try. He was still a teenager, thin and small, and he had already turned over into the study.
In the study, facing the door is a desk, on which the official documents are stacked and neat and clean.
You Ziji is now sensitive to five senses, even if he doesn't use magic tricks, he can see things in the dark, he carefully rummaged through the documents on the case, but most of them are some official documents, You Ziji can't understand it.
There are indeed records of people who came and went in this stack of papers, but they are today, and the records of the past are not here.
It seems that I can only go to the archives to see, the archives are near the prison, which is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to sneak in, so I can only give up tonight.
He tidied up the papers and put them back in their place from memory, saving them from being discovered and causing unnecessary trouble.
You Ziji was still a little unwilling, he took a few turns in the study, and found that there seemed to be something behind the screen in the corner. He walked over, and a three-foot-six-inch guqin came into view.
The piano doesn't seem to be precious, and it's rare to think that this kind of thing can be found in this poor country. It should be used by Lord Sikou for his own amusement, otherwise he wouldn't be hiding here.
You Ziji doesn't know the piano, but he is very curious, and he carefully looks at the inside and outside behind the screen, maybe he can find out the special preferences of Lord Si Kou, and it is really fascinating to peek at other people's little secrets.
This toss, by mistake, You Ziji really discovered the secret, he found a mechanism under the case, and a secret door appeared after opening it.
He walked in and found that the space was not inferior to the study outside, but it was very cramped.
The darkroom was littered with bookshelves, half of which were empty and the remaining half were crammed to brim.
You Ziji took out a copy and looked at it, and some boring events were recorded on it, such as which official in Jiaozhou was promoted because of something, and for example, the king of the demon country now superstitious astrological sacrifices, and from time to time he calculated his fortune. It seems that there is still some important criminal, who ran from Qizhou to Longzhou and was not caught.
Looking at the paper mark on the bookshelf again, the word "current affairs" was written on it, which was not what You Ziji wanted, and he continued to look for it according to the paper stick.
Sure enough, he found the "official business" slip, but the bookshelf recorded the big and small things handled by the Damian Lake Yamen, and it took a lot of effort for the wanderer to find the record of the flow of people.
He looked through the records of the past month, page by page and carefully searched, until the last page, at the beginning of the writing "Zhu Ji", and then looked down, the three words "Gou Pengyi" came into view, the wanderer Jideng was overjoyed, Xiao Gou was really fine, look at the record on this page, it should be the record of the day before yesterday, it turned out that he and Xiao Gou have been staggered.
You Ziji put the book back in its place, and thought in his heart that he would keep inquiring along the way in the future, and maybe he would be able to find Xiao Gou. There is only one intersection in the direction of leaving Damian Lake and going to Longzhou, and tomorrow I will go directly to ask the leader of the pass, he has also seen Xiao Gou, and may know where Xiao Gou went.
Wait a minute.
Damian Lake will not allow untransformed monsters to leave, how did Xiao Gou go? Could it be that he has already been shapeshifted? No, Xiao Gou's strength will not rise so fast, this is not logical.
You Ziji couldn't figure it out, so he had better leave the yamen first, find a safe place and think about it.
As soon as he came to the secret door, before he had time to activate the mechanism, he heard a sound outside, which made You Ziji stop his movements and put his ear on the wall to listen to the movement outside.
A black shadow, like You Ziji, also came in through the window, and saw that the man's clothes were wide, and he couldn't hide his original slender figure, and he didn't look like an adult. He had a clear purpose, went straight to the desk, took out a pen and paper and wrote a few words, searched around for a while, took out a seal from the bookshelf on the side, stained it with red clay, and pressed it down on his piece of paper.
He then didn't leave, rummaging around aimlessly, as if looking at the layout of the place.
After a while, he came to the screen, but he didn't move again. After a long time, he raised his arms and floated on the guqin with his hands in the air. His fingers moved slightly, as if plucking the strings, and he was playing a piece of music without sound.
After a song, the man in black put down his arm, knelt in front of the guqin, stretched out his hand to touch the strings but was afraid of alarming outsiders, and never touched the strings.
How did the wandering Ziji in the dark room know that the man in black was here, he couldn't listen to the wind through the stone wall now, but probably heard that there had been no sound outside for a long time, and felt that the person had left, so he opened the secret door.
Looking at each other, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and You Ziji helplessly showed a wry smile, but he was still discovered.
The man in black reacted violently, he was chased and killed all the way, and his spirit was tense, but it was those who were chasing and killing him, and he immediately killed him.
I saw the man in black turn his hand and hit out with a palm, hitting You Ziji's jaw, who knew that You Ziji moved faster, stretched out a hand to grab the wrist of the man in black, and performed the half-hung wolf diagram that Gao Caijie had learned.
The man in black didn't want to be restrained, so he flipped his wrist and changed four or five tricks in a row, so that You Ziji couldn't take it, which shows that this is a very profound palm technique.
You Ziji couldn't tell which was real and which was fake at this time, and his body was in the corner of the wall, so it was not easy to play, so he had to attack the opposite door with his empty palm, forcing the man in black to retreat, and taking the opportunity to jump to the center of the room.
The man in black chased after him, the two palmed each other in the air, the air waves rolled, and You Ziji gradually fell into the downwind. Neither of them wanted to be discovered by others, and they were afraid of making a sound, so they didn't use all their strength, but the black-clothed man's palm technique was a combination of virtual and real, and the palm power was unpredictable, and he was free to retract and release, but it was the first time for You Ziji to fight in such a situation, and his splitting palm was still not subtle enough compared to the man in black after all.
The more the two fought, the more anxious they became, and the palms collided more and more closely, which allowed You Ziji to take advantage and gradually keep up with the rhythm. It's just that the faster the palm, the more they need to resist, and the two gradually can't resist and jump away.
The black-clothed man's palm said that he would withdraw, even if the palm power of the fight could be withdrawn, but You Ziji was difficult to do, he couldn't control it, and after all, he still hit the thing and made a sound.
The man in black on the opposite side was worried that he would be discovered, so there was no shadow on the ground, leaving only a "stupid".
You Ziji blushed and knew that he was in trouble, so he immediately escaped.
As soon as the two left, an old figure appeared in the study.
This person had been in the house just now, and You Ziji and the man in black didn't even notice it. She had an old complexion, a rickety body, and was dressed as an old woman.
She looked at the figure of the man in black in the distance, and sighed: "It's really a good song, it's a good talent, but it's a pity that I have anger in my heart, and it's not suitable for this song." ”
…………
But said that You Ziji left the study and wanted to go further, and suddenly slashed out in the oblique ground, straight to the throat, You Ziji reacted surprisingly quickly and turned over and dodged, just saw a silver-armored sergeant in front of him, pinching his hands, the knife in the distance trembled slightly in mid-air, and You Ziji could feel the power of the knife.
He's going to kill me! You Ziji was at the time of life and death, no longer kept, his right hand cast the star vein, and a palm stabbed out, only to hear a click, breaking the sergeant's throat.
Then, You Ziji used his body to quickly flee before the others could come. After a few dodges, he was gone.
The bigwigs in the side garden heard the movement here and came out to watch.
Among them, a sturdy man mocked: "The Chinese army is still the same as before, the fighting spirit is used to raise their voices, do you only review, a bunch of straw bales." ”
Captain Liu Zong was furious, but seeing that the person who spoke was once a captain of the border army, it was not good to have a seizure here, "Wu Sikou, this kind of security in Damian Lake, it is better to listen to my advice and immediately close the city and arrest the criminals." ”
After speaking, he didn't return to the banquet, and left with his men, he had to quickly heal the wounded soldier, otherwise his life would be in danger.
The man in the purple brocade robe stood still in front of the crowd, he did not give an order, but just dispersed everyone, leaving only Wu Sikou and the strong man who had just spoken.
When everyone was about the same, an old woman came from a distance.
Several people bowed respectfully, and the old woman smiled and nodded, and said, "Master Hou, what do you think of these officials from Tianfu, what are their purposes." ”
The purple-robed man shook the folding fan lightly and pondered carefully. Although his cultivation is worse than the old woman in front of him, his status is not bad, and he is the marquis of the Northern Wilderness who was canonized by Tianfu.
"Mother-in-law, I always feel that it is an illusion that Tianfu is chasing and killing a fugitive, and it takes such a big battle to kill someone, and so many forces have been alarmed along the way, and even the patrol envoys are involved."
"After all, only the remnants of us in the Big Face Lake are worth such a big battle, someone must have done something against us!"
The old lady nodded, agreeing with his words.
She and the few people in front of her were all squeezed out by other big forces in the world, and it was hard to guarantee that no one would want to get rid of them, but as long as they were united, no one would really touch their brows.
"It's impossible to lock down the city, what does he think this is?"
"Also, tomorrow, let those people from Tianfu leave, stay away and kill them, and teach them a lesson."
The old woman was so murderous that she wanted to kill all those Tianfu soldiers directly.
"Mother-in-law, and that little girl......" The Marquis of the Northern Wilderness was a little confused about the old woman's thoughts, he didn't think that the person in front of him would
I don't know the identity of the little girl.
"The little girl is very good." That's all the old woman said.
The Marquis of the Northern Wilderness immediately understood the meaning, and arched his hand: "Congratulations to my mother-in-law for finding a good talent." ”
