Chapter 404: The Unjust Creditor
This night is destined to be a turbulent night in Luoxia City.
There were two guards inside the gate of the Gu Mansion, resting against the door.
The doorman on the right, who is a little older, tells his dozing companion: "Hey, don't fall asleep!"
The doorman on the left replied without opening his eyes: "I didn't sleep, close my eyes and recuperate." ”
"Just take a little rest, don't go too far. The right doorman looked uneasily into the courtyard, and the lights in the main hall were dark. Looking into the distance, there are not a few lights on the slopes of Qingyun Mountain.
The left doorman scoffed at the cowardice of his companions: "Oh, how can the master come back so quickly when he goes to the Heavenly Prison? The young master has been transferred to a foreign land, and the young lady has died in Huangquan again, you are worried about a ghost!"
"You people, the master is not there, he is lazy in every possible way, there are only two of us left in the guards of the outer four and the inner two, if the city lord comes back suddenly, even I will accompany you to suffer!" In contrast, the right doorman is more loyal.
The left doorman said loudly: "Captain, the city lord will not come back in the middle of the night, just make a show during the day, we will work in two or two shifts at night, if you don't want to rest, then be on duty, I promise that everyone will not object." ”
"Hey, you call that 'rest'? a bunch of people who get drunk gambling all day long. My captain is too soft-hearted and attaches too much importance to friendship, otherwise, hmph, how can you be so foolish?"
The left doorman said haha: "Okay, captain, don't you just have to make trouble, the city lord's mansion is not an ordinary place, how can there be so many things? ”
"It's best if it's okay! I'm always feeling restless with my eyelids jumping today. The captain opened the small window on the gate and looked left and right at the deserted street outside.
The left doorman felt that the captain was too roundabout, so he simply ignored him and continued to lean against the door and dozed off.
At this time, Yin Liping was leading a group of entourage, and he rushed straight to Gu's mansion.
The captain, who was still sober, was more perceptive, and when he heard the chaotic footsteps on the street, he pushed his companion: "It seems that someone is coming outside!"
"Oops! fuss......" The left doorman impatiently flicked the captain's arm.
"How can there be so many people in the middle of the night?" the captain was suspicious, and was about to open the small window to look out, only to hear the door "clang" sound.
This sudden loud noise also startled the confused left doorman, and the anger also "soared": "Okay, you dare to smash the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and want to rebel?"
The two never expected that the small window opened by the captain turned out to be the face of the Yin family's son: "Open the door!"
The captain glared at his reckless companion and quickly opened the door.
"See Yin Gongzi!" The two hurriedly saluted, and the disrespectful left doorman was trembling with fright, and was thinking about how to make amends to Yin Liping, but Yin Liping ignored the two and went directly to the main hall.
"Yin Gongzi, my lord is not in the house......" The captain chased after him.
The left doorman, who remained in front of the door, breathed a sigh of relief. "I heard that Yin Gongzi didn't go to the frontier to be punished at all, and sure enough. But which of his tendons is wrong?What are you doing in the middle of the night when you come to the City Lord's Mansion to make a fuss......" He muttered in his heart and closed the door.
Yin Liping, who often comes to the Gu Mansion, naturally knows the layout of the mansion well, and although the main hall is not lit, he still uses the moonlight to smoothly pass through the front hall and atrium and come to the backyard.
"Young Master Yin, the old man has gone to the Hun Tian Prison, and the young master is not at home, I don't know why you came late at night?" asked the captain of the garrison who came after him respectfully.
"Hmm...... Which is Uncle Gu's study?" Yin Liping replied. In the past, he mostly came to Gu Mansion to find Gu Wanting, and he had never been to Gu Shenglin's study, so he only knew that the study was in this courtyard, but he didn't know which one.
The captain instinctively became vigilant: "Young Master Yin, what are you going to do in the master's study?"
Yin Liping scolded impatiently: "Looking for the letters that my father and Uncle Gu used to exchange from before, tell me which one it is!"
"It's just for letters. Then when the master returns, I will report to him......"
Yin Liping said angrily: "My father is in a hurry now, I can't wait!
Yin Liping thought that he could scare the other party by yelling and drinking, but the captain had a backbone and refused solemnly: "I'm sorry, Yin Gongzi." The lord has an order, no one can enter the study without his permission!"
At this time, the guards in the mansion gathered a lot after hearing the movement, and when they saw that it was Yin Liping with a large group of entourage, they didn't dare to step forward, and they all stayed at the gate of the courtyard to watch.
Even a small garrison captain dared to contradict himself, Yin Liping suddenly felt that he had lost face, so he raised his hand and slapped it, shouting: "Bastard, you have delayed a big event, can you afford it?" Come on, open every room for me to see which one is the study!"
"Go and invite General Zhou and Marshal Huang!" "The captain of the garrison shouted at the door, drawing his sword and blocking the door of a room, "Yin Gongzi, I disobeyed the master's order, and the little one can't afford it either, please don't embarrass the villain!"
At the door, two Gu Mansion guards who were watching the excitement had already run to report the news.
"What are you doing in a daze, go chase it!" Yin Liping yelled at his entourage.
Two attendants hurried to chase the messenger.
Yin Liping smiled and said to the garrison captain: "Okay, okay, you dare to show your weapon in front of me?" Then he ordered his entourage behind him, "Kill him for me!"
Yin Liping's fear of reporting the news aggravated the suspicion of the garrison captain: "The villain abides by the master's orders, what a crime!"
At this time, the leader of the Yin Mansion's entourage stepped forward and whispered to Yin Liping: "Young Master, this person is the garrison of the Gu Mansion
Chief, it's hard to explain how to kill him......"
"I'm afraid of it!" Yin Liping glared at him fiercely, and scolded in his heart: "That old thing surnamed Gu has already died, what is there to explain!" But he couldn't say it at this time, so he ordered again, "The room behind him must be a study, hurry up and get him out, I want to go in!"
Seeing that Yin Liping didn't mention the word "kill" again, those entourages rushed up, and the captain of the garrison was invincible with both fists, and he was disarmed in a few strokes, and he was beaten and screamed again and again.
"Brothers, follow me with backbone, protect the captain!" Finally, some of the Gu Mansion guards at the door couldn't stand it, and with a shout, a group of people surrounded them "hulala", and the two groups of people did not rush to use weapons, they were all bare-handed, and the two sides pulled me and pulled me, picking their noses and gouging their eyes, so lively!
Not to mention, there are really "spineless" among the guards of the Gu Mansion, who still stay at the gate of the courtyard and watch.
Yin Liping has a noble status, and no one dares to touch him, but the two gangs of people are blocking in front of that room and fighting in a group, and he can't get in at all.
Li Cuiyan, who was hiding in the dark shadow in the distance, couldn't help but smile when she saw the embarrassment of the two groups.
"Childe, go to the roof!"
"That's right!" Yin Liping laughed out loud after being reminded of this, jumped to the roof, opened the roof with a fairy sword, stomped his foot out of a big hole, and fell into the room.
After a while, Yin Liping came out of the hole again and scolded: "His grandmother actually deceived me!
It turned out that the room was not a study. The clever captain of the garrison deliberately stood in front of this room in order to stall for time.
But no one can stop Yin Liping anymore, and it is only a matter of time before he finds the study. After breaking open the doors of the three rooms, Yin Liping finally found the study.
He lit the candle on the table, picked it up and walked to the bookshelf on the west side of the room. There are quite a few books on the shelves. He pushed all the books on the second row of shelves to the ground and shone them with a lamp, but found no mechanism. "Huh?" Yin Liping felt strange, "Could it be that my father remembered it wrong?" He tapped the wall with his knuckles, and his voice was clear, obviously there was a dark room behind the wall!
"Dad doesn't know clearly, what kind of organ it is......" Yin Liping muttered, stroked the shelf of the bookshelf, and the bumpy touch of the carved patterns on it suddenly attracted his attention, "Could it be ......"
A small flower was engraved on the shelf, and Yin Liping carefully touched each petal and leaf, and finally, found a small circle in the center of the stamen. The circle was slightly concave than the surrounding stamens, and was not visible in the not-so-bright candlelight. He touched his body, found a bottle of elixir, smashed the bottle on the table, picked up a piece of fragment, and poked it hard with the tip of the small circle, with a soft "click", the small circle sank.
"Ha! I'm so smart!" Yin Liping, who was complacent about finding the mechanism, did not perceive the danger at all, and only heard a string sound of "boom" in his ears, and six short arrows suddenly shot out of the hidden small holes in the walls of the north and south sides. He was so startled that he didn't have time to dodge, and all the arrows were shot at his head!
A white light flashed through the room, and the short arrow fell to the ground with a "crackle". Looking at the "Northern Spirit Bird" flying in front of him, the Night Dance Youchang Mirror, Yin Liping broke out in a cold sweat and said to himself: "Good guy! Gu Shenglin's old fox is really cunning, if it weren't for this treasure, I'm afraid I would have to explain it here!"
At this moment, a dull lock sound came from the wall, and the entire western wall moved a gap.
In fact, Gu Shenglin's mechanism requires two conditions to be opened safely, one is to press the small circle on the shelf, and the other is that his feet must stand on two specific floor tiles. If you press a small circle of light, a cold arrow will be thrown suddenly.
The mechanism was broken, and Yin Liping walked sideways into the dark room. As Yin Nianhong said, there are a lot of good things in the room. Gu Shenglin has a soft spot for unique swordsmanship and body law classics, and has spent a lot of effort collecting them all and trying to practice them all, gathering the strengths of hundreds of schools, so in addition to immortal cultivation items such as fairy swords and magic weapons in the dark room, the most are classic books, which are neatly placed on several bookshelves. The quality of the fairy swords collected by Gu Shenglin was also very high, and Yin Liping was unceremonious and put all the fairy swords into the storage magic weapon. There is also a row of shelves with several valuable magic weapons, and the lower layer is a pile of high-level charms. In addition, there was a large wooden box in the corner of the room where the pills were stored. These things add up to a lot of money, and even more so that they can't be measured in money. Yin Liping was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and now he could make a lot of money.
Gu Shenglin did a lot of evil things for these treasures. Whatever he likes, he will do everything possible and unscrupulous to get it. It's also to blame him for his rigid brain, and he always feels that he doesn't feel at ease when he puts these good treasures in the storage ring and carries them with him, so he has to store them in the secret room. It's a pity that the room full of rare things he painstakingly collected ended up being cheaper for others.
After looting the dark room, Yin Liping returned to the study contentedly, pushed the wall back as it was, and locked the mechanism again. Fearing that he would arouse suspicion in the future, he carefully put the books scattered on the ground back in their place. After tidying up, Yin Liping blew out the candlelight. It was only then that he realized that the noise of the fight outside had stopped at some point.
"What, have you stopped?" Yin Liping pushed open the door with doubts.
The retinue of the Yin Mansion and the guards of the Gu Mansion were gone, and the gate of the courtyard was closed.
Under the moonlight, in the courtyard, on a chair that had been moved at some point, a man was sitting with his head down, his elbows on his knees, his hands clenched, and his chin resting under his chin.
Because the man was carrying the moonlight and lowering his head, Yin Liping couldn't see his face clearly, so he didn't dare to step forward and asked from a distance: "Are you ......?"
The man raised his head, and his voice was quite low: "Don't come to harm, Yin Liping, my 'good brother'!"
Yin Liping heard who that person was, and then his heart was seven
Tumbling up and down. "Who is my Dao, it turned out to be Brother Gu. Tonight, my father had an urgent matter and ordered me to come to pick up the letter, but those subordinates did not allow me to enter the study, so I had no choice but to make this decision, sorry! After Uncle Gu returned, I would come to the door again to apologize. He pretended to be calm and apologized.
It turned out that this person was Gu Wanting's brother, Gu Wanxing!
Gu Wanxing said: "Oh, where is the letter?"
"Uh...... I, I searched for a long time, but I didn't find it, so I want to go back and report to my father......" Yin Liping was a little incoherent.
"Oh, you went into the study and lit the candle, and after a while, the light in the room was gone, and after a while, the candle came back on. Brother Yin really has good eyesight, and would rather look for something in the dark. When he spoke, although Gu Wanxing was laughing, Yin Liping felt that the laughter was creepy.
"This ...... I...... The candle lights burned out...... Later...... "Yin Liping panicked and didn't know how to justify himself."
Gu Wanxing suddenly raised his voice: "You stole something from my father, hand it over!"
"No, no, no! I, no, no......"
Gu Wan got up happily, showed the fairy sword with a "brush", and said angrily: "You don't want to walk out of this courtyard today!"
"You, what are you going to do!" Yin Liping also took out the fairy sword, but he knew that he was not Gu Wanxing's opponent, at this time, he had already scolded that group of useless entourages in his heart ten thousand times, and he actually disappeared at the critical moment.
"What about Ting'er?" Gu Wanxing approached with a sword, and asked knowingly, just to make Yin Liping understand.
"Ah, Gu, Brother Gu, listen to my explanation, things are not what you heard!" Yin Liping hurriedly waved his hand, thinking about a plan to get out of his mind, "When I got married, I also sent a letter to inform you, but the road is far away, and you can't catch up with ......"
Gu Wanxing gritted his teeth: "I couldn't catch up with you and forced Ting'er to death, did you?"
"No, no, I'm really going to marry her...... It's her who wants to kill herself......" Yin Liping said as he stepped back.
"Then why did she kill herself?" Gu Wanxing had already approached in front of Yin Liping, and Yin Liping had already stuck to the wall, and there was no way to retreat, "Do you really think I don't know? I rushed back thousands of miles, but Ting'er had already fallen, and Brother He was also imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, all of which was caused by you!" Gu Wanxing pointed at Yin Liping with a sword, Yin Liping's hand holding the sword kept trembling, but his mouth was still justifying: "Brother He's business has nothing to do with me, it's Uncle Gu and his ......"
"Suffer death!" Gu Wanxing didn't want to hear it anymore, and slashed at it with his sword, but Yin Liping moved before him, and took a step sideways and hid in the study.
Gu Wanxing kicked the door down, rushed in, and the two circled around the bookshelf in the room.
"Gu Wanxing, even your father didn't blame me, why do you want to be indiscriminate?"
Gu Wanxing scolded angrily: "I'm sorry! My father cares about the friendship between the two families, so I don't care so much! Today I must slaughter you, a bastard, to comfort Ting'er's soul in the sky!"
When he went around to the door, Yin Liping pulled the bookshelf, escaped from the study, and shouted: "Come on, come and save me!"
At this time, the voice of Yin's entourage came from outside the courtyard gate: "Childe, there are too many of them, we are all tied here and can't move!"
It turns out that during Yin Liping's entry into the dark room, the entourage was all arrested. These words also reminded Yin Liping that there were Gu Wanxing's people outside the courtyard gate, and they couldn't escape from there! Turning around, Gu Wanxing had already lifted the shelf and rushed out of the study, and Yin Liping immediately ran towards the east courtyard wall.
"Hugh go!" Gu Wanxing yelled.
The courtyard wall is right in front of Yin Liping's eyes, and you can climb out with two more steps!
Li Cuiyan in the dark said in her heart: "Since someone's brother has come to take revenge, there is no need to arrest Yin Liping and go back." Let me give him a helping hand. She pulled down the golden silk crescent pendant of the Mystery Fan and threw it in front of Yin Liping.
As soon as Yin Liping caught a glimpse of a golden light out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly mixed garlic under his feet, fell forward and hit his head against the courtyard wall. Youchang Mirror did not stimulate the protective effect this time, Yin Liping fell and his head was bleeding, his eyes were full of gold stars, and he couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south.
It's only that Yin Liping's strength is too low to take the initiative to use the Youchang Mirror, so the Youchang Mirror will only take effect when he is hit by a fatal attack. It's a pity that the Night Dance Youchang Mirror is one of the "Five Great Spirit Birds", but Yin Liping can only play a passive life-saving effect, which is really a tyrannical thing.
Gu Wanxing, who thought that he had seized the opportunity for revenge, raised his sword and stabbed Yin Liping's heart, this time, the Youchang Mirror worked, and with a "click", Gu Wanxing's fairy sword was broken into several sections.
Yin Liping, who had eased up a little, smiled proudly: "Heh, I have a divine mirror protector, you can't kill me!"
Gu Wanxing frowned, indeed, he was only at the four-elephant level, and his skill was not enough to destroy the body protection magic weapon, and the broken immortal sword was proof of it.
"Hmph, body protection, body protection, why are you still hitting a bloody face? blunt knife slashing flesh, still killing you!" Gu Wanxing quickly figured it out, took out a short sword from his waist, and slashed it on Yin Liping's arm, suddenly opening a deep gap, and Yin Liping screamed in pain.
"Ha, I'm sorry, I'm not a knife, and I'm not dull at all!" Gu Wanxing, who had discovered the method, laughed and cut off the little finger of Yin Liping's right hand.
Under such circumstances, the Night Dance Youchang Mirror has become a burden, and it is delayed to death by sword by sword, it is better to have a good time all of a sudden!
"Ahh
also blamed Yin Nianhong for being too greedy, and immediately began to plan to get these treasures collected by others after learning that his old friend had died, but he couldn't calculate it even after a thousand calculations, and Gu Wanxing, the last master of the Gu family, would suddenly return it this night.
"Huh?" Li Cuiyan, who was secretly watching the play, suddenly became alert.
Maybe Yin Liping should not be killed at this time, and the rescuers fell from the sky, and a loud shout resounded in the air: "Stop!"
