Chapter Twenty-Four: The Mysterious Woman

On the way back to the inn, Nan Yanxue quietly told Yunfeng what happened in the secret room, the maid's disappearance for no reason, the blood stains on the ground in the secret room, and the dust, she didn't know what his intentions were.

"When I sneak in at night to investigate, you must not be in vain. ”

Nan Yanxue nodded and said, "Be careful." ”

I don't know if the second lady's strange behavior is known to the Hou Ye, if the Hou Ye knows, it will be a very dangerous move to sneak into the Hou Mansion.

There is also Gu Shuang'er, maybe you can find out some news about the second lady from her, and Nan Yanxue, who has made up her mind, decided to have a good chat with Gu Shuang'er at night.

After the group returned to the inn for dinner, Yun Feng and Ye Qingli sneaked into the Hou Mansion together, Gu Shuang'er and Xiao Ziyi couldn't stop making trouble in the lobby, Bai Yifan and the other senior brothers were discussing tomorrow's actions, and Nan Yanxue sat bored in the private room on the second floor in a daze.

Qingyang City in this evening is really lively, there are still a lot of people who pick up the lamp to buy and sell, the Chunxiang Building diagonally opposite, the girls who make a living are standing at the door to solicit guests, this is different from their Azure Gate, the Azure Gate is at night, there is no one in front of the hall, everyone goes back to their rooms and begins to rest.

She doesn't know if Shi Niang has seen this prosperous city, those beautiful hairpins on Shi Niang's head should be bought in these places, Nan Yanxue decided to buy a beautiful hairpin for Shi Niang tomorrow, she saw a hairpin yesterday, the thin hairpin is inlaid with a white magnolia, the core is round and transparent, the texture is delicate, and the shape is like clotted fat, which is particularly consistent with Shi Niang's temperament.

Nan Yanxue sat in the private room for a while, and Styx suddenly pushed the door in, and he walked straight to her and sat down.

"What do you think?"

"It's nothing, are you okay?" asked Nan Yanxue.

"It's okay, just to remind you, we've taken a scare out of the situation, and you need to be safe. ”

"Oh...... That one...... What the hell are you looking for?What are you looking for?" Nan Yanxue still couldn't hold back her curiosity, she wanted to know what he was looking for that thing that would kill people, should he use it to kill people too?

"To find a girl. ”

"Looking for a girl?you said you used that murderous thing to find a girl?" Nan Yanxue looked at him in disbelief.

"Yes, it can open the seal of another magic weapon, and that magic weapon will tell us where that girl is. "She was originally the key to open the gate of the hidden capital, but now she needs to use the ancient artifact Kunlun Mirror sealed in the gate of the hidden capital to find her.

"What does that girl look like, and how did you lose her?"

"Lose her......" Styx muttered the phrase as Nan Yanxue saw him lose his mind for the first time.

"She has a beautiful flaming flower on her forehead, she is our king, and we have lost our king. ”

Could it be that she is the emperor, Nan Yanxue has heard others talk about the king of this world, she lives in a particularly large palace, there are many beautiful flowers planted in the palace, there are many beautiful girls in the palace, they have a lot of servants, and they cook all kinds of delicious food for them at any time, but she originally heard that the kings are all men, this is the first time she has heard that there is a queen, and it is also the first time she has heard that the king will be lost, how can she lose it, Nan Yanxue can't figure it out, how can a good person be lost.

The two of them sat in the private room, looking at the bustling streets outside, each falling into their own world, in this crowded world, everyone has their own story, Nan Yanxue didn't want to ask his story anymore, she just wanted to know if Brother Yunfeng was safe at this time.

Yun Feng and Ye Qingli took advantage of the night to hide on the roof of Gu Mansion, they kept staring at the rockery that Nan Yanxue said, at three o'clock, Gu Hou Ye finished checking the jewelry in the rockery, he personally opened the stone door and ordered the servants to put the jewelry box into the secret room, Yun Feng has been in contact with many officials since he was a child, and he has also heard his father talk about many things about court officials, these officials care most about money and power, they regard these things as more important than anything else, they will do anything to get it, and human life is like ants in their hands.

Could it be that Hou Ye killed someone for these things? If so, why did he ask Tianqingmen to go down the mountain to eliminate demons?

Yun Feng and Ye Qingli looked at Gu Hou Ye who had finished putting the jewels, he glanced at the stone gate with satisfaction and turned to leave, they waited for a long time and didn't see Hou Ye come to the rockery again.

"Is Nan Yanxue her mistake?" Qingyang City at night was cold and windy, Ye Qingli, who was thinly dressed, couldn't help but hug her arms, Yun Feng originally planned to come alone, she insisted on coming with her, she told the senior brother that she was afraid that Yun Feng would not be able to deal with it alone after being discovered, so the senior brother allowed her, and at that moment there was a trace of joy in her heart.

She looked at Yun Feng next to her, he had a clean and fair side face, light brown eyes, a high nose bridge, slightly closed lips, and the expression on his face could not show any emotion, it was such a side face, but she didn't know that it would make her remember it for so long in the future.

Yun Feng seemed to feel her eyes, he turned his head to look at Ye Qingli who was clenching his arms, he had been staring at the rockery intently and didn't notice the weather this night, the breeze was blowing, the branches were swaying, there was indeed a trace of coolness, he took off his coat and draped it on his senior sister's body, the two looked at each other and smiled, no one was speechless.

Ye Qingli This is the first time she has been with Yun Feng for so long, she watched him lying there quietly, he would occasionally turn his head and smile at her, she also smiled at him, she liked this quiet and warm feeling.

The two of them didn't know how long they were lying down, and two figures suddenly appeared in the corridor not far from the rockery, the woman in front was wearing a lantern, and the woman in the back was wearing a cloak coat, which was exactly the same as what Nan Yanxue described the day before.

The two quietly walked to the front of the rockery, and Yun Feng saw through the faint light of the lantern that the woman in front was indeed the maid of the second lady, only to see that the maid pressed against the stone, the stone door of the secret passage opened, and the woman standing behind walked to the stone gate and took off her cloak and walked in.

"Second lady!" Ye Qingli exclaimed.

She didn't believe Nan Yanxue's words before, if it wasn't for staying with Yunfeng, she wouldn't have come over, but she didn't expect it to be the second lady.

The second lady and the maid cautiously walked into the secret passage with a lantern, and after a while the maid came out of the secret passage and went back to carry a basket into the secret passage, and this time the two of them stayed in it for a long time.

Yun Feng and Ye Qingli quietly jumped off the roof, and they hid behind a stone on the side of the stone door to listen to the movement inside.

There was no movement in the silence, Ye Qingli couldn't bear it, she found the location where the second lady opened the mechanism just now and groped for a long time to find the mechanism, the two went in along the long secret passage, the secret room was empty, and there was an empty basket next to a box of jewelry, which was the vegetable basket that the maid was carrying just now.

Yunfeng picked up the vegetable basket and searched for a circle and did not find the mechanism, Nan Yanxue did not find the mechanism before, it seems that the mechanism is very hidden, the two put back the vegetable basket and hid in the secret passage to quietly observe the movement of the secret room, after a long time, there was a sudden "squeak" in the secret room, and then I heard the sound of two women whispering, Ye Qingli jumped out of the secret passage to stop the two, and the two were frightened by Ye Qingli who suddenly appeared and screamed.

"Madame secretly hid monsters and mutilated the people of Qingyang, does Master Hou know?"

After all, the second lady is a person who has seen the world, and she quickly calmed down after panic: "Girl, don't talk nonsense, you two broke into the secret room of my Hou Mansion at night, will my Hou Mansion let you go?"

"Ping'er, go and call the master, and say that someone broke into the secret room. ”

The maid listened to the words of the second lady and was about to leave with the basket, Ye Qingli took out the sword in her hand and pointed at the maid: "If the girl wants to leave alive, open the mechanism obediently." ”

When had that Ping'er ever seen such a scene, she was so frightened that she sat on the ground and looked at the second lady with tears in her eyes.

"Madame, save me. ”

The second lady didn't pay attention for a while, and when several people were deadlocked, a small door suddenly opened on the right side of the secret room, and a red light overflowed from it and hit Ye Qingli.

"Be careful. Yun Feng pulled Ye Qingli over, and the red mang passed in front of Ye Qingli, and when he reached the wall of the secret room, he actually took it back.

The second lady and the maid wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave, but they saw Ye Qingli's right hand and two fingers together, and the law was sacrificed, and an enchantment immediately appeared in the secret passage, and the four of them were trapped in the secret room.

With a mortal, it is impossible to open the enchantment, Yun Feng and Ye Qingli looked at the secret room emitted by the red light, and it was so black that they couldn't see anything clearly.

Yun Feng pulled out the Xuanying Sword and walked in cautiously, just walked to the door, the red light inside was flourishing, almost an illusion, Yun Feng whistled in his ears, the red circle of light had passed by his side, and the faces of everyone present were reflected red, Yun Feng looked up, and the secret room was very warm, and a woman stood in it with dull eyes.

When Yun Feng was hesitating, a handsome man flashed out of it, the man grabbed the void and pounced on Yun Feng, Yun Feng took a step back and sacrificed the Xuanying Sword, the man held a blood red bead, the law sounded, the red light flashed, Ye Qingli's Yao Light Sword seemed to feel the demonic aura at this time, only to see the Yao Light Sword Qingmang gradually slamming towards the man, and when the three of them were fighting, there was a sound of footsteps outside the secret room.

Yun Feng looked into the corner, and the second lady and the maid, who were still hiding in the corner and shivering, had disappeared at this time, and the barrier that Ye Qingli had sacrificed had also been broken.

"Not good!" the Yunfeng Xuanying sword volleyed down into the air and knocked back the man.

"No one can know that we're breaking into the secret room. Yun Feng said and pulled Ye Qingli out of the secret passage quickly, the stone door opened, and the government soldiers had appeared not far from the door, the two of them covered their faces with the black face towels that had been prepared, and then flew up to the roof with their true qi, and the government soldiers in the courtyard saw this and hurriedly chased them out of the house, but saw that the dark streets outside the house were empty.

The two returned to the inn, and soon saw a large number of officers and soldiers searching for thieves along the street.

Ye Qingli and Yi, who returned to the inn, lay down, thinking back to the night when they stayed with Yunfeng, this was the second time the two fought side by side, he would always protect her, and there was still a long way to go together, she hoped that she could always fight with him to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

After not sleeping all night and fighting, when the morning was about to dawn, Ye Qingli fell asleep deeply.
