In the feast, all kinds of people sat together and talked and laughed. There are those who laugh heartily, those who beat their chests, those who speak loudly, and those who listen attentively, and everyone has a different posture.

At the same time, at the back of the lobby, between the rows of guest rooms, two figures sneakily walked through.

"Finally someone can't hold it anymore!" "It's getting late, there are always places where the lights can't shine, and no one knows who will hide in the darkness.

The layout of Tianjian Villa is basically built around the arena, and directly behind the courtyard is the lobby, which is dedicated to the banquet. Further back are the houses of these contestants, rows of tiled houses. On the left side of the courtyard is where the people live and where they work, and on the right is the living quarters.

The two figures walked through the contestants' housing area in the back row and around the warehouse on the left side of the courtyard. The two heads looked left and right for a while, and when they saw that no one was following, they touched into the warehouse.

In the lobby on the other side, Zhong Liyan and Yan Ge were chatting while drinking, Yan Ge peeled off the peanuts scattered on the table, threw the peanut kernels into his mouth, and said, "Did you say that those three ninjas from the Heavenly Silkworm Sect really came to participate in the competition? ”

Zhong Liyan looked around at the various characters around him and said, "Even if they really come to participate in the competition, we won't run in vain!"

"Why do you say that, is there any secret here?"

Zhong Liyan didn't answer his question directly, but reached out and took a flying knife from his waist, and then turned around and slashed it without looking back. At the same time, the servant who passed behind Zhong Liyan was holding a roast chicken, and the flying knife was impartial and just cut off a piece of chicken leg, and the servant was so frightened that the roast chicken in his hand almost fell to the ground. Zhongli stretched out his hand and took the chicken leg and smiled at the servant, and then said to Yan Ge: "This servant is new! ”

Seeing that Zhong Liyan didn't take his problem to heart, Yan Ge became a little angry, snatched his flying knife from his hand, wiped it with a handkerchief and hung it on his waist again. Zhong Liyan feasted on chicken legs, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Wouldn't we be able to better understand the strength of these ninjas through the competition? Zhong Liyan spoke casually, his eyes kept on the chicken leg in his hand.

"Then why did you let Jing Zhi and Dong Buping ambush in the shadows? Isn't this just in case?" Originally, they appeared together, but until now, there were no other two people, and Yan Ge was sure that these two people must be acting in secret. Zhong Liyan hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "I didn't let them ambush them, it was Jing Zhi who proposed it himself." ”

"Why would he do that?"

"He's coming, you ask him yourself!" Zhongli Yandao raised his head as he spoke, and the two of them walked straight towards them. One of them was wrapped in a headscarf and wore a pair of round-framed sunglasses. The other man had a three-inch-long flaming cockscomb head that extended to the back of his head, and two short spears on his back.

"Jing Zhi, Dong Buping, why are you here?" Yan Ge thought that these two people would not show up the whole time. Dong Buping sat next to him and came to a bowl of wine and said: "Jing Zhi, this guy has to say that someone has set his sights on the treasure of Tianjian Villa, so he pulled me to investigate, if it wasn't for the sake of seeing what this treasure is, I wouldn't have go!"

"What about the result? Do you see the baby?" asked Yan Ge.

Without waiting for Dong Buping to speak, Jing Zhi used the first joint of his index finger to hold on to his sunglasses and said, "We're done, those two people have died under the organ of the villa." ”

"How did you know there was such a thing?" Zhong Liyan threw the finished chicken leg bones on the table. Jing Zhi explained, "I overheard the plans of these two people on the way here, so I also wanted to see what this treasure was. ”

"What the hell is that, how come I've never heard of it?" Yan Ge was also successfully attracted. Dong Buping took a big sip of wine, smashed the wine bowl on the table and said, "I think this guy Jingzhi is just deliberately playing with me, and there is no treasure at all." ”

"Have you ever heard of the 'Wooden Armor Geisha'?" Jing Zhimian said without changing his color. The three of them shook their heads, and at this time, a small head next to them came over after hearing the "Wooden Armor Geisha", glanced at the four people, and said, "You are the guards of the capital! Have you also heard of the legend of the 'Wooden Armor Geisha'?"

I saw that this person was dressed as a monk, and there was a square bamboo basket beside him, which seemed to be his equipment. Yan Ge saw that this person was dressed strangely, so he arched his hand and asked, "You haven't asked Your Excellency for your name?"

Jing Zhi took the first step to reply: "Tan Jinxuan, the walking monk, is ostensibly doing shadow puppetry, but his real identity is a puppet master, and he never needs to kill people directly, but controls puppets to kill people, this technique is somewhat similar to using internal force to control a person's actions, presumably your bamboo basket is filled with puppeteers!"

Tan Jinxuan smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's the capital guard, and the intelligence work is quite perfect!" Jing Zhi's eyes under his sunglasses have been staring into the distance, and he hasn't moved for a moment since he came in, and his tone has remained calm and said: "No one here knows the 'Wooden Armor Geisha' better than you, you can tell them about it!"

Tan Jinxuan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Jing Zhi's eyes, and said, "This brother, can't you see with your eyes?" Jing Zhi slowly turned his head to Tan Jinxuan, looked at him and said, "I'm just too lazy to move, don't I need to waste my physical strength in the blink of an eye?" According to legend, there was a big official who met him on the road, and when he saw a person behind him, he asked who the person behind him was, and Yeban replied that it was a puppet, and the official did not believe it, so he sent someone to take off the puppet's straw hat and touch it with his hand, and it was really made of wood, and there was no elasticity on the whole body. The first time the official saw this kind of thing, of course he was very curious, and asked Yeban what actions this thing could do, Yeban said that as long as it was a posture that a person could complete, the puppet could be completed, and after speaking, the puppet winked at his wife behind the official, and the official was furious on the spot, not believing that it was a puppet, and ordered someone to disassemble the puppet into parts, only to find that it was full of organ parts, without any flesh and blood. In order to cover up his embarrassment, the official had the parts destroyed, saying that Yeban had used witchcraft, and convicted him. At that time, Yeban was not as famous as it was later, so naturally it could not avoid prison. After being released from prison, Yeban stopped studying 'Wooden Armor Geisha', and the world said that this craft had been lost. But not long ago, there were rumors that in Tianjian Villa, there was still a 'wooden armor geisha' built by the Ye Ban himself. ”

Yan Ge and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this, they had never heard of such a magical puppet, which could be made exquisitely even in the blink of an eye, and the title of Yeban, a forging master, was indeed worthy of its name. Jing Zhi's face did not have the surprise of Zhong Liyan and them, but said lightly, "Then the purpose of your coming here?"

Tan Jinxuan took a sip of wine and said, "Naturally, it's also for the 'Wooden Armor Geisha', but I won't do those things that steal chickens and dogs, I will let Gu Yuesong personally present the 'Wooden Armor Geisha' in front of me." ”

At this time, the three ninjas who were in the dark of the villa also sneaked to the outside of the warehouse, and after seeing the two corpses lying on the ground, the three of them looked at each other, and then also touched the warehouse. Just after the ninja's front foot entered the warehouse, Keemon Red and Bai Xinyu also appeared outside the warehouse.

The slim Bai Xinyu said to Qi Menhong: "Where did the news of this 'Mujia Geisha' come from? Why did everyone hear about it?" Qi Menhong licked his lips and said: "This kind of thing must only be known to people inside his villa, so the people who spread the news are naturally also people from their villa." ”

"Then shall we go in?" Bai Xinyu said.

Qi Menhong shook his head and said, "No, the thing will definitely not be here, with my understanding of Gu Yuesong, if there is really such a thing, then he will definitely hide in a place that no one can imagine." We came here just to see how many pounds and taels these ninjas had. ”

In a certain room of the villa, Gu Yuesong was sitting there quietly, no one knew what he was thinking, suddenly the door was pushed open, and a subordinate walked in, saying, "Owner, there are already seven people who have entered the warehouse, and two have died. Gu Yuesong raised his hand and motioned for his subordinates to go out first.

After the villain went out, Gu Yuesong opened her slightly closed eyes and said to herself: "You cunning fox, I will definitely pull you out with my own hands!"

Jing Zhi, who was chatting, suddenly stood up and said, "According to what you mean, there must be more than two thieves who are worried about the 'Wooden Armor Artist', no, I want to go back to the warehouse!"

Dong Buping, who was carrying two guns, seemed to have known that he would call him, and his face was full of reluctance while guessing, but he followed honestly at his feet. Yan Ge asked Zhong Liyan, "Aren't we going?" Zhong Liyan took the last sip of wine and said, "Go, anyway, everyone else knows about it, so let's go and take a look!" It is estimated that Bai Ye and the Heavenly Silkworm have also gone, and they will meet these old opponents. ”

After speaking, Zhong Liyan and Yan Ge also followed. The atmosphere in the lobby was not affected by the departure of these few people, and it continued to boil. The stool next to Jing Zhi just now also shifted a little, not only the person sitting there was gone, but even the bamboo basket on the table disappeared without a trace, leaving only the empty wine bowl on the table. At this time, a servant came over to clean up the garbage on the table and stacked several bowls together, but the servant's movements were a little rusty, and the expression on his face never changed.
