Chapter 228: Situ Mansion Doubts (3)
After about a few breaths, Feng Lin took a deep breath and dragged Su Mu to stride violently in the void, as if an invisible staircase appeared in the air, and the wind created a passage for the two of them to the sky.
"Be careful, the rain is getting heavier now, the air flow is not very smooth, and it is difficult for me to control it. The wind in the high-speed march did not forget to open his mouth to remind.
Soon, the two of them reached the highest point within the reach of Fengshenbu, and at such a height, the entire Situ Mansion should be in full view.
"This, this is too outrageous, isn't it?" Feng Lin and Su Mu were shocked by the scene in front of them.
This Situ Mansion is too big, right?
From the height, the area of the city occupied by the Situ Mansion is almost comparable to that of the Imperial Palace, and the high walls that Su Mu originally thought were not actually the boundaries of the Situ Mansion, and there were a large number of pavilions outside the high walls, which together formed the outer circle of the Situ Mansion. Layer upon layer, the density of housing construction is comparable to that of a bustling street market.
Compared to the vast outer ring, the inner ring that Su Mu had previously moved on was only a very small part of it. Counting from the high wall of the back garden, it occupies less than one-tenth of the total area.
What's even more terrifying is that despite being dozens of meters in the air, the two of them still can't seem to be sure that they have seen the boundary of the other half of Situ's mansion.
"How is it?" Looking at Su Mu and Feng Lin who were slowly falling from the sky, Ding Ruoyan asked.
"Don't you see, this mansion is terrifyingly big!" Feng Lin lowered his voice, but his tone was still extremely exaggerated, "This Situ family is really rich and rivals the country, dare to build a mansion comparable to the imperial palace in Luojing, and I am not afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will be angry." It's really enviable to have a transcendent tree at home!"
Feng Lin said a lot, and there was no valuable information at all, which made Ding Ruoyan a little big, so he simply ignored him and turned to Su Mu and asked.
"What about you, what have you discovered?"
"I think Brother Feng Lin is right. Su Mu still maintained the posture of holding his forehead and said, "Brother Feng Lin and I have just looked at the high place, and found that this house actually has a larger outer ring outside the boundary I thought it was, and we are now in the core area of the core." ”
As if sensing that his voice was a little loud, Su Mu paused slightly, cleared his throat and lowered his voice to continue.
"Other than that, I really don't think the Situ family would dare to build such a mansion in the Luojing Imperial City. If nothing else, if you are His Majesty the Emperor, can you allow someone to do such a rebellious and provocative thing under the nose of the Son of Heaven? This is clearly a slap in the face of the imperial family. ”
"I know you want to say that it's because the Situ family has a relationship with the Transcendent Realm Ancestor. But this is not a reason for the Situ family to override the imperial power. If you want to talk about the transcendent realm, Lord Wang Zhiyu of the palace guards and the ancestor of the Taiji Sword Sect are also transcendent realms, and I don't think a transcendent realm alone is enough to be the guarantee of the Situ family's audacity. ”
"So I was thinking, there are two possibilities. Either the Situ family has some other backers or hole cards that allow them to be so fearless, or they have some unique way of hiding that allows them to build such a huge mansion in Luo Jing without realizing it. ”
"Hidden way, do you mean to use Karakuri?" Ding Ruoyan thought for a moment.
"There's this possibility. Su Mu nodded, "I think apart from me and Brother Feng Lin, there are very few people who will condescendingly observe the entire Situ Mansion from such a high place, right? This is Luo Jing, I heard that in the past two years, in order to prepare for the clan festival once every sixty years, the entire Imperial City has become a no-fly zone, and the powerhouses of the Sky Breaking Realm are forbidden to walk over Luo Jing at will." It's even less likely to be discovered. ”
"But despite this, I think the Situ family must still have an insurance, so that even if it is discovered by the passing shadows, there will be an excuse. ”
"So I'm wondering, could the entire Situ Mansion actually be a big Karakuri?"
"Large Karakuri?" Feng Lin couldn't help but shout, it was very abrupt in the quiet rainy night, and Ding Ruoyan immediately rushed forward to cover his mouth.
"Yes, if the mansion itself were a piece of ingenuity, it would have been possible to change the location of the pavilions in such a short time. ”
"You mean, Situ Jing didn't transfer the location of the Master Pavilion through reconstruction, but directly moved the entire Master Pavilion to another location?" Ding Ruoyan understood Su Mu's words and followed the analysis.
"Yes, it's likely that this is not just for us, but for the regular practice set by the Situ Mansion in order not to expose the outer ring of the building. In other words, even if there was no rebellion of the left minister, the Situ family would do so on a daily basis. ”
"Do this every day, but how much trouble does it have to move a three-story pavilion?" asked Feng Lin.
"Actually, there won't be much movement, it just needs to be done before Luo Jing enters the curfew. Su Mu explained, "Luojing is already crowded, and this has been especially true in the past month, there are many exotic people pouring in from all over the world, the streets are already very lively, and the existence of the outer circle of the mansion, the core location of Situ's mansion is actually quite far away from the market, and such a movement will not attract too much attention in the downtown area." ”
Feng Lin showed a sudden realization expression, but immediately discovered a new suspicion, "But this is not right, even if it will not be seen by ordinary people, what if the movement of the house is witnessed by the shadows passing through the air?"
"Then you just need to get through the dark relationship. Ding Ruoyan said coldly.
"If only the Shadow Department in the entire Luojing has a chance to discover the actions of the Situ Mansion, then it only needs to turn enemies into friends. Su Mu added, "Although it was only a few simple glances, the outer circle of Situ's mansion looked very similar to the market, and the outermost layer was covered by the magnificent Four Seas Inn and Chamber of Commerce Street, which was really difficult to find." ”
"So if my inference is correct, Situ Mansion may have secretly bought all the houses on several streets between the core of the mansion and the Four Seas Inn through the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and incorporated them into the territory of Situ Mansion, and finally unknowingly drew a circle under the eyes of the Son of Heaven and obtained this piece of city within a city. In this way, the core of the inner circle of the mansion can be renovated without alarming the people around it, so that it can be moved at will as it is today. ”
