Chapter 407: This Rainy Night

After standing up, Xia Yizhang even found that his legs were a little more soreness and weakness, and he almost sat back again.

Holding on to the wall and taking a few more steps to the side, Xia Yizhang stood firmly in place, looking at the floor in front of him, but his eyes did not look at him, but he was stunned.

I don't know what I'm thinking, but after a while, I came back to my senses, and I reached out and wiped it on my buttocks, and it was a handful of soaked water stains.

The very hidden mechanism in the middle is still well there, if he hadn't known in advance that there was an organ in that place, it would have been impossible to see it if others had changed.

So even if he didn't have a safety card and occupied this position as soon as he entered the secret room, the man in black would probably not be able to find out.

The heart of defense, how can you lose it, as long as the other party makes a little move, with his reaction ability, at least he can press the mechanism at the first time.

The deep pit on the ground will swallow the opponent in an instant, and if you fall, you will also fall to death, and at the critical moment, he Xia Yizhang can be ruthless enough.

Once the other party leaves, it has nothing to do with him, and if it goes well, the man in black will never be able to have anything to do with him.

As for the fact that the other party saved his life, Xia Yizhang didn't care about it at all, but just used each other.

The whole person slowly squatted down in the corner of the wall, covered his face with his hands and pinched his nose, now it looks safe, but it is only temporary, he still needs to think about the way out in the future.

He knew exactly what was in this dark room, and he knew exactly what was in it, except for some of the necessary mechanisms that had been built, and the food that had been left behind, enough for him to live for a month.

The food will be changed after a while to avoid rotting, and as for the location of the hideout, it will not be something that the man in black can check.

It is the crystallization of the wisdom of a skilled craftsman, and it is not something that others can discover casually.

But this is not safe, if the matter of the man in black passes, and his eldest brother still fails to find him, there will inevitably be a lot of incidents.

Although he is confident that he is stronger than his eldest brother, he will not really underestimate his eldest brother, especially at this critical moment of survival.

Underestimating one's enemies is joking with one's own life, and Xia Yizhang has never liked to make such jokes, which is not funny at all.

When the time comes, he will choose to escape completely and leave this Hongguang City.

He didn't have to think about it, and he knew that he would not survive, even if he was the son of the head of the Xia family.

And to completely escape from this city, he is eighty percent sure, the man in black is the smoke or shield he released, and if there is that person who attracts everyone's attention, the chance of him getting out safely will inevitably double.

However, this time is not easy to grasp, I don't know how long the man in black will be able to hold on even if it goes according to the plan.

These are questions that he can't predict, and he can only think about them carefully.

Time is in this small and closed environment, little by little, I don't know how long I waited, the footsteps of the second child sounded in the dark room.

He pulled himself together, calmed down, and figured out some key points.

From the opposite direction where the man in black left, he passed through a secret door, and gradually walked up.

There was some food and water piled up at his feet, Xia Yizhang sat down directly next to him, eating dry cakes and drinking water in small bites, for him who had become accustomed to eating brocade clothes and jade food, it was quite difficult to swallow these things.

But he also endured the discomfort and swallowed it all in one gulp.

"It's unpalatable. After gnawing most of it, he didn't feel so hungry anymore, Xia Yizhang immediately frowned and stopped, muttering quietly.

In addition to some essential food, there are actually some clothes and simple makeup tools, which can slightly change the current outfit of the second child.

Of course, it is impossible to reach Pei Jiao's level, and not everyone can do those strange things that Pei Jiao knows.

Half a day, a day passes.

In this dark room, he could not hear what was going on outside the window, and when he was hungry, he would eat dry cakes.

I didn't hear the slightest movement outside, and I didn't wait for the man in black to come back, which was actually good news.

If you don't come back, you may never come back.

Another day passed, and the dry cakes were about to vomit, and I don't know if it had been left for a long time, but he could always eat a moldy corn smell.

The more I eat, the more nauseous I feel and I want to vomit, looking at the big bag of cakes next to me, no wonder I can eat it for a month.

I really had my brain pumped at the beginning, and I made such a decision, thinking in my heart, Xia Yizhang couldn't help but take another step forward and used a support on the stone slab above his head.

The sound of clicking sounded, and a gap between the stone slab and the ground was revealed, and a faint light penetrated in, shining on Xia Yizhang's cheeks, and countless dust should be illuminated in the beam.

From the light, Xia Yizhang could roughly deduce the time point at this moment.

"It's almost time. Xia Yizhang spoke, and with a force, he completely lifted the stone slab, and fell to the ground in a leap.

Looking up, there is a bright moon in the sky, and now there is a courtyard that looks a little barren.

It's not barren, it's just that there are some weeds not far away, and the whole yard is empty.

This is an abandoned worship site for their Xia family, and at first some festivals came here to worship, but that was decades ago.

I don't know if it was affected by the rebellion, so I found a fortune teller and moved the place of worship.

Now this place is naturally empty, maybe those people can't imagine that he, Xia Yizhang, will repair the dark room under this, thinking a little smugly.

When he took over the family business, he also took this place by the way, and some of the later actions were completely underground, and this dark room, which was completed over many years, ensured absolute secrecy.

In the slightly dim environment, Xia Yizhang couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly for a while, until he used his internal force and adapted to it for a while, and his vision gradually became clearer.

After discovering that it was still that familiar and unfamiliar environment, I felt a little relieved.

But the night, which should have been quiet, was not so calm tonight, and the noise outside could be heard clearly even from several streets.

"Oh, it didn't happen until now, but it's a bit of a surprise. ”

Listening to the movement, Xia Yizhang's whole body moved, and he had already reached the edge of the wall, and the time calculation was still accurate.

Cautiously follow the root of the wall and feel outside, if he can't do anything, he will have to hide in the dark room.

Soon left the courtyard and walked into a small alley, Xia Yizhang under the moonlight had probably changed his appearance.

He put on two mustaches and thickened his eyebrows, and there was no other change, and he didn't do the things like wearing a mask in his pocket.

If you are dressed like this on a big night, and you happen to be seen, won't it be obvious to tell others that you have a problem?

After leaving from the mouth of the alley, Xia Yizhang identified the direction and saw that all the firelight was converging towards one place.

There must be something wrong in that direction, most likely the man in black was exposed, thinking like this, Xia Yizhang's face showed a cold smile.

If that person falls into the hands of the eldest brother, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not tell his location, so it is good to leave early, and the later it is, the best time to escape may be missed.

Even if there was no one around, Xia Yizhang was still very vigilant, paying attention to the surrounding situation, afraid of killing someone halfway to meddle in things.

......

And it was more than two or three days ago, when the man in black left the dark room.

The location where the latter came out of the dark room was completely different from Xia Yizhang, if it weren't for his quick reaction and strong martial arts, he would have almost been caught by the patrolling guards.

After stepping on the wall stack on the side, he quickly fell into the haystack, followed by the rapid identification of the direction, and began to explore the weak points around it.

No matter what the process is, his purpose is to leave here and tell the prince the news of this place as soon as possible, so that he can be mentally prepared.

Smoothly arrange the rest of the matter, as for those subordinates who are also in Hongguang City, those who can save one will save one, and those who can't be saved can only do it.

Thinking about it, they sacrificed for the prince's plan, and it was worth it.

Even his subordinates are like this, let alone the second son.

The matter has been exposed, what status can the other party have in the Xia family, and the effect on the prince can be said to be minimal, and there is a waste person, even if he takes it away and escapes together, it is just one more mouth to eat.

Now even if the second son starves to death in the dark room, he doesn't have a copper plate with him

relationship.

The only use value of the other party is to get some information that is very useful to him before he leaves.

Now that the operation has failed, he has to seize every opportunity to bring back as much useful news as possible for the prince.

That's why it took him a long time to find out the things about the head of the Xia family, the boss of the Xia family, and a few clan elders from the mouth of the incompetent second son.

Now is the time to confirm, he has been in Hongguang City for so long, and he knows the general layout of Hongguang City and the location of some important places.

Watching those patrol guards, with his ability, he can always fly over at the most critical moment.

From behind the other party, or turning the long street in advance, even if one or two people notice the abnormality, it is just a gust of wind blowing.

Before half of the night had passed, the man in black had already come to the vicinity of the mansion of the eldest prince of the Xia family.

He knew that there was a study in the mansion with some important papers in it.

Teng jumped over the courtyard wall, fell to the ground silently, stared at it with a pair of eyes like an eagle, and followed the cat's waist to the left.

The mansion of the eldest prince of the dignified Xia family is a little different from what he expected, not only are there not many servants, but even the layout is very 'shabby'.

Da –

There was a faint sound that was after the man in black stepped into the compound, and a raindrop fell from the sky, which was falling on the leaves in front of him, and finally slid down the veins of the leaves into the mud.

Even such a slight movement made his heartstrings tense, and only after seeing it clearly did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Continue walking inside, without encountering any accidents.

But after a few more steps, the man in black finally realized that something was wrong.

Quiet, the whole mansion seems too quiet.

Why is the sound of the raindrops so clear, even if the servants go up again, it shouldn't be the only ones, right?

On the way to the backyard, I didn't encounter any of them, even if it was late at night, but you must know that this is the residence of the eldest son of the Xia family.

His eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he secretly mobilized the strength of his whole body, and he used his whole body to run his whole body in the future.

On the surface, it didn't look like much, but the man in black was still walking inside, if it weren't for the slight amount of qi to evaporate the scattered raindrops, there would really be no abnormality.

But when the man in black was on full alert, he walked to the door of the study without any waves, until he pushed the door and walked in, and there was no sudden change.

Could it be that I am really suspicious? The man in black thought this in his heart, and he no longer struggled at the moment, and quickly threw himself on the shelf in the study, and began to look around.

A cup of tea had passed, and he tried his best to keep the movement to a minimum, and there was still no sign of anyone noticing.

Not to mention, he really found a lot of useful information.

Among them, there is a report written by the eldest prince, a defense map of the entire Hongguang City, and the distribution of military forces in several areas.

The more he looked at it, the more excited the man in black became, which would definitely advance the prince's career a big step.

But I didn't have time to look at it carefully, and after reading it hastily, I put it all in my arms.

When it was almost over, he quickly left, ran out of the open window, and landed in the courtyard after a tumbling.

At this time, the raindrops in the sky had turned into a light rain, and it fell on the stone slabs in the courtyard.

Naturally, it also fell on the neckline and shoulders of the man in black, yes, it was not discharged by him again, and the rain did not appear to be vaporized under the high-speed operation of the internal force.

It's been so long, and there's still no unusual change, so there's no need for him to make a big fuss.

At the same time, I still have a little more disdain for the rumored eldest son, I didn't expect the second son to be like this, and the eldest son is the same, how wise the head of the Xia family is, there are so many sons under his hands.

I also heard that Miss Xia, who has always had the reputation of being a woman in the Xia family, also lost Dade County.

Of course, there may also be a situation, that is, the eldest prince is not at home, but such a confidential paper copywriter is so easy to find by him, I am afraid that he is not a person.

As soon as I thought of this, I turned around a few times on the word 'easy' in my mind.

Suddenly, he was filled with a spirit.

But it was already too late, through the thin hazy rain curtain, a white palm, piercing the hazy rain mist, with an amazing momentum, from a palm to a fist, fiercely imprinted on the position of the vest of the man in black.

There was a bang, like a thunderclap in the sky.

It was the first thunder of Hongguang City.
