Chapter 407: The Rescued Non-Human
Hua Qingyu was puzzled by Xiao Tianhe's reaction: "Today is Jiachen Day, yes, didn't we open the prison door just now?"
In this regard, Xiao Tianhe explained: "Indeed. But I guess it shouldn't be that simple this time. When I was in the Heavenly Flame Continent, I once consulted with two friends who studied formations for relevant knowledge, and the Ganzhi Occult Art originated from the observation of celestial phenomena. That's why it's used for timekeeping. When setting up the formation, it is also necessary to observe the yin and yang of the sky. The late night is already cloudy, and it coincides with the full moon when the sky is looking at the sun, which is heavy yin, and the buildings are all sitting in the north and facing south, and the south is yang. Therefore, my guess is that the counting column should be reversed, starting from the yang direction, i.e. .asxs. at the bottom right. ”
"So there is such a mystery...... That cave house must be the one in the first column from the right and the fifth row in the bottom row?"
Xiao Tianhe actually shook his head again: "As the saying goes: '** is short', but Ji Yuqiu's wedding only started late at night, don't you think it's a little too late......?
Hua Qingyu slapped her palms: "When the wedding is over, it will be tomorrow, so Yi Si day is auspicious! B ranks second in the heavenly stem, and Si ranks sixth in the earthly branch, and the second and six are even numbers, which is also consistent with the auspicious meaning of the marriage of men and women 'in pairs'!" But she quickly hesitated again: "However, if tomorrow is auspicious, then why put the wedding in the middle of the night? Wouldn't it be better to postpone it until tomorrow day?"
"In the mystic art of yin and yang, the man is yang and the woman is yin, and the marriage of the two symbolizes the harmony of yin and yang. Among the 12 hours of the day, the first two quarters of the sub-hour belong to the first day, which is yin, and the last two quarters belong to the second day, which is yang, so it is the only one that can be called 'yin and yang'. Judging from the way Ji Yuqiu laid out the prison organs and planned the layout of the backyard, he was an extremely strict person. It is only natural to choose an auspicious day to get married. In short, our target is the small building in the second row from the right and the sixth row from the bottom!"
It is understandable to get married and get lucky. can choose the auspicious day of the stem branch like Ji Yuqiu, then choose the odd and double numbers, choose the full moon phase, and also choose the yin and yang good days, and finally project it on the layout of the backyard, I don't know whether to say that he is painstaking, or whether to say that he is pedantic and paranoid.
After determining the goal, the two quietly touched the front of the small building. The first and second floors of this small building are lit up. Xiao Tianhe took a deep breath, gently pushed the door open a gap, and flashed in. Hua Qingyu followed, and the cat's waist leaned against the wall and headed towards the stairs. Luckily, they didn't seem to trigger any magic circles.
When the staircase was close, the floor under their feet suddenly creaked, and at this moment, from the room on the right side of the hallway, the light was suddenly heard!
"Hey, what sounds seem to be out there?" said a shrill voice.
Xiao Tianhe and Hua Qingyu didn't dare to come out, leaning against the wall, and moved towards the dark place under the stairs little by little.
"Really, why didn't I hear that?" a deep voice replied, "You must have misheard. The feast outside is still over early, so come, let's do this first!"
"!"
It seems that the two are drinking. Xiao and Hua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The shrill voice in the room said, "It's just the two of us drinking here that we're pretty boring." There is not enough wine, there is not much food, whether it is morning or night, but it is the turn of the night to be on duty, but it is really unlucky. ”
"Be content. Compared to the place where I used to be, the work in this Red Emperor's Mansion was already easy and leisurely. If it weren't for the Great Emperor's ability to form formations, how could we be so relaxed?"
Xiao Tianhe raised his eyebrows at Hua Qingyu, judging from the conversation between the two in the house, they should be the guards of the Chixi Emperor's Mansion. The gate of the Chixi Emperor's Mansion is not defended, but there are guards on duty here, which makes Xiao Tianhe even more convinced that his previous speculation should be correct.
"The Great Emperor is also a legend, his strength is strong, his formation is superb, and even his daughter-in-law is better than others!" sighed in a deep voice.
"Haha, aren't you jealous of the Emperor's glamorous fortune?"
"Don't you envy that beautiful lady upstairs, you and I have seen it with our own eyes, tsk...... In the future, if I become an emperor, I will marry a few more wives and concubines......"
The bride is on the second floor, yes. Xiao Tianhe didn't want to hear the next words. The two went up the stairs to the second floor, and the innermost room was the only one on this floor with the lights on, and the door was still hung with red silk and the word "double happiness" pasted. Xiao Tianhe slammed open the door and rushed in, and the bride covered with Xipa was lying flat on the bed. He also had ropes tied to his body. Hearing someone enter the house, she writhed and cried out, as if something had been stuffed into her mouth.
"Don't be afraid, we're here to rescue you!" Xiao Tianhe comforted. He was about to step forward to help the bride untie him, when he heard a loud shout from behind him: "Stop!
The two guards on the first floor actually appeared in the doorway.
Hua Qingyu had an idea, and slashed the candle light on the table with one palm, and the whole room suddenly fell into darkness. There was a "clang", the side window on the west wall was knocked open, and a black shadow jumped down with a person. Two guards rushed to the bedside, and the bride was gone! There should be one more person in the house at this time, but they can't care about it, and the bride is the big deal.
In the darkness of the night, the two guards chased after the figure in front of them, heading straight for the wall under the rock to the east. They chased and shouted, "Stop!"
The black shadow in front of him was holding a person horizontally, and his speed was not slow at all, and he maintained a distance of about ten zhang between him and the guards, and he never shortened. Seeing that he was about to flee under the wall, one of the guards slashed a wave of swords and struck the shadow in the back. The black shadow seemed to have noticed it, and took a few steps sideways to avoid the knife wave.
"Damn!" the guard was about to release a second sword wave, but was stopped by his companion's slasher: "You are stupid! if a hole is opened in the wall, won't he escape more easily?" "Ahh
The shadow let out a cry of pain, slowing down, staggering as if the knife had hurt his ankle. The wall in front of it is about three or four feet high, and it is almost impossible to climb over it with a person with a foot injury. As a last resort, the black shadow had no choice but to throw the bride out of the wall, and he fled north along the wall.
One of the guards immediately turned to continue the chase, while the other climbed out of the wall to find the bride. It was only at this point that the guards breathed a sigh of relief, and in any case, there should be no problem in retrieving the bride. But when he crossed the wall, he was dumbfounded, and it turned out that it was not the bride lying under his feet, but a quilt!
The guard's mind was a little hard to turn for a moment.
In the cave room earlier, the bride had indeed disappeared from the bed, and in such a short time, it should not have been too late for all the ropes on her body to be untied, so she could not escape by herself. Since the black shadow just chased was holding a quilt, where would the vanished bride be?
"Ahh When he climbed back inside the wall, his companion who was chasing the shadow returned. With a hint of luck, he asked, "What about that person?" Although he lost his bride, if he grabbed one of them, he would have an explanation. However, the companion spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Running fast, chasing to the wall and suddenly disappearing, the emotional injury just now is faked!
"It's over...... It's over......" The guard sat down on the ground.
At this time, Hua Qingyu had fled to the west side of the wall with her bride on her shoulder, and Xiao Tianhe happened to return. Hua Qingyu smiled and gave him a thumbs up. The strength of those two guards must be higher than that of Xiao and Hua, and even if they are undefeated, they will easily cause trouble. Just now, when he was in the room, Xiao Tianhe was in a hurry, and his strategy of pretending to jump off the building and escaping was perfect, so the two guards must take pursuit as the first priority, so the movement was much smaller. Although Xiao Tianhe's inspiration was not agreed with Hua Qingyu in advance, Hua Qingyu immediately understood it at that time, and took advantage of the darkness to pick up the bride and hide behind the door, and when the guards chased her out, she immediately carried the bride out of the small building.
At this point, the bride can finally be freed from bondage.
"Woo woo", the bride writhed uneasily.
"Miss Ye, don't worry, I'll loosen your ties for you. Xiao Tianhe cut all the ropes, and Hua Qingyu removed Xipa. When Xiao Tianhe raised his head and was about to take out the gag cloth for the bride, he was stunned.
The person in front of him is not Ye Linglong!
The first thought in Xiao Tianhe's heart was: "Fooled again!" The knife was immediately on the woman's neck. "Who are you?" he asked.
The woman's frightened eyes flashed with tears, and her gaze wandered between the two, pitiful.
"What are you doing, even if it's not Miss Ye, don't scare people!" Hua Qingyu pushed Xiao Tianhe away and reached out to take the cloth ball from the woman's mouth.
Xiao Tianhe stopped and said, "Sister Qingyu, beware of fraud!"
"It's all tied into zongzi, what kind of fraud is there?" Hua Qingyu said angrily, "Even if there is fraud, you have to let people speak!"
"It's all loosened, she has her own hands!" Xiao Tianhe was still very vigilant.
The woman trembled and took out the gag cloth and gave a blessing to the two: "I am not from the Red Emperor's mansion, don't kill me...... hero"
"Look! Put the knife away!" Hua Qingyu scolded.
Xiao Tianhe bowed slightly at the woman: "Girl, I'm sorry." The Red Emperor is very methodical, and I have to be cautious. ”
"Thank you both for saving your life. I really don't want to marry Ji Yuqiu, but he threatens my father's life, and I have to go to the dungeon to save my father and mother from the two of them! The little woman has nothing to repay, and from now on she is willing to be a cow and a horse to serve her son!" The more the woman spoke, the more sad she became, and finally knelt in front of Xiao Tianhe with a "poof".
Xiao Tianhe hurriedly helped: "Girl, please get up quickly." In that case, what's the difference between me and Ji Yuqiu?"
"If Childe doesn't agree, I won't get up. The woman shook her head. This is like a person who has been drowning for a long time grasping a life-saving straw, how can he let go easily?
"Okay, okay, you get up first. Xiao Tianhe could only respond vaguely.
Hua Qingyu pulled him aside, and whispered eagerly: "You just agreed so casually? Good people are not so easy to do, you have to weigh it too!"
"I've got my own measure. Since there is still a dungeon in the imperial mansion, then Miss Ye must be in it. Xiao Tianhe explained. It turned out that he should have done so with this in mind.
Hua Qingyu sighed helplessly: "As soon as Miss Ye is involved, you will have a tendon." I thought she was a bride, and I tried my best to rescue her, but it turned out to be not. Until now, do you still believe the news that Miss Ye is in the Chixi Emperor's Mansion?"
"Miss Ye's whereabouts were told to me by two friends from the Elephant Gate. I did have some suspicions after we were imprisoned, but since I received a summons to tell me how to escape from prison, I am confident that their information will not be wrong. Miss Ye must be in the Red Emperor's Mansion, since she is not a bride, she must be locked up in a dungeon!"
Hua Qingyu suddenly said: "The person who sent you the message is a friend of Jixiangmen? I thought it was Wei Chifeng!"
"When we fell into the trap, the sound of the iron cage was so loud, Brother Wei Chi must have planned to rush to the rescue, but now I am afraid that I will be entangled by Ji Yuqiu, how can we tell us how to escape? The man in black in Yuyu Lane is one of the two friends of Jixiangmen. ”
"That'...... Why did he become Ji Yuqiu's guest again?" Hua Qingyu felt that the relationship was a bit messy.
Xiao Tianhe straightened out his thoughts: "It is estimated that he has a noble status, but because of his relationship with Ji Yuqiu, he can't help openly, so let's help secretly." All in all
A fierce battle is inevitable tonight. ”
"Tianhe, are you going to ......?"
"Hmm, all of them will go out and make a big fuss in Chixi Mansion!" Xiao Tianhe's eyes were extremely determined.
Hua Qingyu was helpless: "Alas, things have come to this point." That's it, if that's not the case, I'm afraid Wei Chifeng won't be able to get out so easily!"
Then, the two returned to the woman, and Xiao Tianhe said to her: "Girl, we are not familiar with the terrain of the mansion, do you know where the dungeon is?"
The woman was overjoyed when she heard this: "Thank you, thank you two heroes! The dungeon is under the front yard, and the entrance is behind the main hall screen! I'll take you there!"
"No need, now that you know the details, the girl doesn't have to risk her life anymore. You go and hide outside the Imperial Mansion first, and be careful not to be caught again. "Xiao Tian Dao. To break through the dungeon, the demon clans of Meng Zhang and the two realms of the prison soldiers have to be summoned, and it is always inconvenient to act in front of outsiders. Moreover, neither of them had the ability to protect the woman.
"Okay, I wish the two heroes success, and the little woman will wait for good news outside the house!"
Then, Xiao Tianhe and Hua Qingyu returned to the backyard buildings again. Suddenly, Xiao Tianhe slowed down and looked back, the wall in the distance was already shrouded in darkness, and the woman's figure was no longer visible. Xiao Tianhe's heart moved, and he called Liu Guiqiong out of the Meng Zhang realm.
"Young Master Xiao. Liu Guiqiong arched his hand.
"Miss Liu, I have something to trouble you. Then, Xiao Tianhe whispered like this, and Hua Qingyu was dumbfounded. In the end, Xiao Tianhe said: "I'm sorry, I just left this matter to Guan Lingyun, but she was injured a few days ago, so I had to bother you to go out." After all, Liu Guiqiong is Jin Chanyu's subordinate, so she naturally has to be polite when she is instructed to do things.
"Childe said and laughed, why bother? Then I'll go. Liu Guiqiong kicked under his feet, jumped on the roof of the building next to him, stepped lightly on the roof tile and swept backwards, and the figure in the moonlight flashed a few times and disappeared.
After witnessing her leave, Xiao Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
At this time, Hua Qingyu asked: "Tianhe, what's the matter, do you still think that girl is cheating?"
Xiao Tianhe smiled faintly: "It's not 'feeling', but being convinced!"
"Where is the fraud?" Hua Qingyu really couldn't figure it out.
"Sister Qingyu, don't be fooled by her weak and pitiful appearance. She is the person Ji Yuqiu wants to be his wife!" Xiao Tianhe's tone was serious.
"Don't sell it. Ji Yuqiu has always been forced to marry, and it is not a new thing, and it is very common to coerce her parents to force her to submit! I don't think there is anything wrong with her. ”
"The problem lies in the word 'wife'. Although the woman was as beautiful as a flower just now, Ji Yuqiu's kind of old pervert probably had already seen a lot of this, thirty-six concubines and seventy-two maids, none of them must be ugly, but there are only two wives, what does it mean? I am afraid that just because she is beautiful, she is not qualified to be his wife! The woman just now has to be bold or not, she has no ability to do anything, and she is scared and trembling at the slightest trivial, how can she be afraid? There must be deception in it!" Xiao Tianhe explained.
Hua Qingyu gasped in shock: "Oh my God!
Xiao Tianhe sneered: "Not only that, but her words and deeds are also abnormal. Of course, I only paid close attention to it after thinking about that point. Not only did we save her from the sea of suffering, but she also begged us, and under such a great grace, she didn't even ask you and me for her 'honorable name', and didn't even report her own name, isn't it weird?"
Hua Qingyu nodded: "Although it's a bit extreme, I really can't think of anything that can be refuted." So what do you mean, her weak appearance is faked?"
"That's right. The character who the Red Emperor wants to marry as a wife will not be low. With the level of the two of us, she will still beg us to save people?"
"But maybe she's already hurt, or maybe she's ...... When she saw that we were able to break into the cave and rescue her, she mistook us for the top players......"
"No way. Although she was blinded by Xipa just now, the whole rescue process was clear. If we're really masters, we can get rid of those two guards in just two clicks, so why bother?, so I'm sure she's very clear that we're not masters. In such a situation, we are still forced to save people, hum, there must be an ulterior purpose. ”
"What would be the purpose of that?" Hua Qingyu was puzzled.
Xiao Tianhe spread his hands: "Then I don't know." But you can guess a thing or two from what she said. If she really wanted to take us to the dungeon, she just said that she could lead the way for us, so why did she describe the location and entrance of the dungeon clearly? When we break the prison and make a move, Ji Yuqiu will be entangled, and she can take advantage of the chaos!"
Hua Qingyu thought for a while: "Your speculation seems to be very rigorous, but there is a contradiction that is not very obvious. According to your assumptions, since she guessed that our strength is not high, how could she expect us to be able to entangle Ji Yuqiu? When we were discussing summoning all the demon clans to break the prison just now, we stepped aside and whispered, she definitely didn't hear it. And that's only after you agree to her request. ”
"Haha, Sister Qingyu, you only know one but don't know the other. Since the woman can clearly understand the hidden dungeon, she must also know that there are many magic circles and mechanisms in the Chixi Emperor's mansion, and it is not appropriate to break in. The woman would think in her heart, just by the two of us, we can actually find the real cave room, and Ji Yuqiu hasn't found it yet, how can it be? So, she must have guessed that Ji Yuqiu didn't fail to discover us, but was entangled by our other powerful companions and couldn't get out!" Xiao Tianhe's mind was not delicate, he was from the other party's position, and based on the information that the other party already had to think about the problem and make judgments.
It is commendable to think about one's own affairs and think about others.
