Chapter 024: The Secret Passage
The woman is in a hurry, is this something that she is reluctant to do?
It's a matter of whether she will go to jail or not, how can she be careless.
But the woman was stupid, anxiously thinking about how to refute Mrs. Wang, and when she saw Gao Huaiying giving her a look, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "One hundred taels, I won't sell it for a penny." ”
"A hundred taels? Are you wronged by me? Wang Niangzi was so angry that she turned her head to leave, but she was reluctant to see Gao Huaiying's handsome and chic appearance.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, took out a silver ticket and stuffed it into the woman.
The woman took the silver ticket, and before she could speak, Wang Niangzi dragged Gao Huaiying into the room next to her.
In the woods two miles away from the stockade, Sang Muwan waited anxiously, seeing that the night was getting darker and darker, but there was no movement inside, her heart became more and more panicked.
"Do you know who lives in Ziyang Mountain? Dare to agree with Gao Huaiying's suggestion to put your own son in danger. A familiar voice came from not far away.
Sang Muwan looked back, and under the sunset, Pei Lianbai walked towards her angrily.
"I don't care who lives here, as long as they do something illegal, they should be arrested and punished as they deserve, as for Yu'er, she is my own child, I naturally love him and worry about him."
"Didn't the prince also say that he is a boy, he can't stay in the rich nest all the time, and the decision to be a bait is made by himself, although I am his mother, I have to respect his opinion."
"And why is the prince so angry, please remember clearly, we are just a cooperative relationship, no matter what decision I make, it has nothing to do with the prince."
Sang Muwan was panicked in her heart, and after listening to Pei Lianbai's words, her heart became more and more uneasy.
As soon as she felt uncomfortable, she wanted to quarrel with someone, and Pei Lianbai was the annoying one, so she naturally became her target.
"Ignorant women and children, Changfeng, you come to make it clear with her." Pei Lianbai looked to the side angrily.
Changfeng stepped forward, first briefly introduced Yangshan, and then talked about the bandits in the village, "There are four bandit leaders in this village, each of whom carries dozens of lives, and he is a person who has been wanted by the government for a long time. ”
"Miss Sang doesn't want to know, why didn't the people in the government arrest people when they knew they were here?"
Sang Muwan was indeed curious, and at the same time, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
"It is said that they have a thing called gunpowder in their hands, that thing, after throwing it out, it will have a huge lethality, the prince tried to attack it before, but after seeing the power of gunpowder, he asked everyone to withdraw."
"The bandits here are becoming more and more arrogant because of this."
Sang Muwan frowned, "Is there no other way?" You can't let them do evil for the rest of their lives because of this. ”
Gunpowder? The people here actually make gunpowder.
Wait a minute, Yu'er and cousin......
Oops!
Sang Muwan's face changed greatly, he turned around and ran towards the door of the cottage, Pei Lianbai saw this, and flew forward to stop him, "Let them come out at this time, it will only startle the snake." ”
"Why did the prince stop me? Does the prince want me to watch my son and cousin die inside? The prince has no relatives inside, so he can naturally stand here calmly and say cool words, but I can't. ”
"Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire here, I will definitely go in and protect them."
Sang Muwan wanted to bypass Pei Lianbai, Pei Lianbai frowned, then suddenly reached out and hugged his waist and flew away.
After a while, the two came to a remote courtyard in the cottage, the cottage was very large, Sang Muwan came in for the first time, he didn't know the whereabouts of Sang Ziyu and Gao Huaiying, and it was not good to find someone to inquire, so he was a little anxious for a while.
Pei Lianbai took out a map from his arms, opened it and took a quick look, and then pointed in a direction.
"It's the most remote location, and it's the best place for Tibetans."
"The prince is familiar with this place?" Sang Muwan followed, and along the way, he saw that Pei Lianbai accurately avoided the patrolling guards every time, and the tension dissipated a little.
"Today is my cousin and I have not thought about it, thank you for the prince's special trip to remind us, if a few of us can get out safely today, I will definitely thank the prince."
After Pei Lianbai once again pulled Sang Muwan to evade the pursuers, the two came to a separate courtyard, "Don't worry, with this king here, none of you can die." ”
Is this a domineering president?
As Sang Muwan was thinking, a familiar voice came from the room.
"Cousin."
Sang Muwan pulled Pei Xiaobai to the window, gently pushed open the window, and looked inside.
Wang Niangzi was drugged by Gao Huaiying, which would lie on the bed weakly, Gao Huaiying stood by the bed and said condescendingly, "If you don't say where those children are locked up, don't blame me for being unkind." ”
"How do you want to? Kill me, you are so bold, you dare to come to Ziyang Mountain to find someone, you are not afraid that the four masters will fry you into a meatloaf. ”
"I don't know if this official will die now, but you must have died earlier than this official." When Gao Huaiying lost patience and was about to knock people unconscious, Sang Muwan rushed in with Pei Lianbai.
"Don't be in a hurry to knock people out just yet."
"Evening, why did you come in?" Yu Guang swept over Pei Lianbai, and Gao Huaiying pursed her lips in disgust, "Why did the prince come over, but the official heard that the prince has a great relationship with the four bandit leaders of Ziyang Mountain." ”
Sang Muwan wondered, why is there such a big gap between Gao Huaiying and Changfeng's rhetoric?
Who of them is telling the truth.
"Don't talk so much about it, go find Yu'er first." When Sang Muwan dragged Gao Huaiying and was about to go out, Gao Huaiying grabbed her with her backhand, "This person hasn't been dealt with yet." ”
Sang Muwan then remembered Wang Niangzi, remembered the purpose of coming here today, and then looked at the current situation, after she hesitated repeatedly, she tore off her purse, took out a porcelain vase and walked quickly to the bed.
"This pill won't kill you, but it can make your life worse than death."
Not long after Sang Muwan gave Wang Niangzi poison, Wang Niangzi rolled on the bed in pain, but Wang Niangzi was a backbone, and she was so painful that she refused to tell the truth.
Seeing that it was getting late and late, Sang Muwan's patience was about to run out.
"Since you're not afraid of death, then keep suffering." Sang Muwan gave Wang Niangzi two more poisons, and before leaving, he told her, "This pill can make you unable to speak, you can't hold a pen in your hands, and even if your master comes, you can only watch you be tortured to death by the poison." ”
"However, for you flower thieves, such an outcome is not torture."
Leaving the house, Sang Muwan asked Gao Huaiying, "Where did the woman take Sang Ziyu?" And why you're here. ”
Gao Huaiying scratched his nose in embarrassment, in fact, he asked the woman to sell him to Wang Niangzi in order to inquire about the things in the cottage, who knew that this woman was a hard bone, and after so long, he didn't say a useful word.
Now that even Sang Ziyu's whereabouts have been lost, how can he be worthy of Sang Muwan's entrustment.
"I'm sorry, I ......"
"Cousin, you know ......" Sang Muwan was worried and anxious, but now is not the time to hold him accountable, "Forget it, let's not talk about it yet, Lord Wang, you help us think about it, there are no other hidden places in the cottage, maybe Yu'er is here for you now." ”
After Pei Lianbai turned his head and looked around, he shook his head, "No." ”
So what to do? The cottage is so big, where are they going to find Sang Ziyu?
Sang Muwan's mood at this time was even darker than the sky outside, no, Sang Ziyu must not be fine, she is the only hope of the original owner, since she has become the original owner, she has the obligation to take care of Sang Ziyu.
Moreover, she promised Sang Ziyu that she would definitely find him and take him home, and she would never break her promise.
"This annex is more than this room, and Gao Huaiying also said just now that the woman brought Sang Ziyu here, which shows that this is a very important place."
Pei Lianbai walked down the steps and turned his head to look around, but he didn't see any difference.
Sang Muwan didn't have Pei Lianbai's calmness, she saw that Pei Lianbai concluded that this place was not ordinary, so she randomly chose a room to open the door and quickly looked for it.
Seeing this, Gao Huaiying also hurriedly followed, the other courtyard was not big, there were only five or six rooms, and after a while, a few people searched for it, and the three of them came to the last room, like the other rooms, it was also empty, just like Sang Muwan's mood at this time.
"Pei Lianbai, are you sure this courtyard is a good place for bandits to hide things?" Sang Muwan asked Pei Lianbai again to confirm.
"Yes."
After receiving the affirmation, Sang Muwan began to rummage through the cabinets, not letting go of anything in the room, and a quarter of an hour later, with a bang, a crack suddenly appeared in the wall of the inner room, and then a secret room appeared in front of the three of them.
"Chamber of Secrets."
Sang Muwan glanced at Pei Lianbai, then took the candle on the table and was about to go in.
"Wait a minute." Pei Lianbai grabbed her and walked in first, Sang Muwan followed, the secret passage was very long, fortunately, there was a candlestick in the secret passage, and it was not so terrifying after it was lit.
At first, the passage was a little narrow, allowing only one person to pass through, but the further they went, the more spacious it became, and after walking for about a cup of tea, they heard the slight sound of running water.
"How can there be the sound of running water in the secret room?"
Sang Muwan was puzzled, Pei Lianbai didn't speak, but his expression was obviously much more dignified than just now.
"Follow me."
After another quarter of an hour, the secret passage suddenly brightened, and soon the three of them left the secret passage and came to a bamboo forest, and there was a small stream not far from the bamboo forest, from which the sound just came from.
"Why didn't I see a figure, the people in the cottage went to great lengths to dig such a secret passage, it shouldn't be just to see the bamboo forest."
Pei Lianbai glanced around and nodded approvingly, "You're right, this secret passage is indeed not for appreciating the bamboo forest, but for the secrets in the bamboo forest." ”
Sang Muwan was about to ask what the secret was here, when he saw dense arrow feathers flying in the sky.
"Be careful."
