Chapter 353: The Study
Another day passed, there were still no clues, in the blink of an eye, night fell, the sky was full of bright stars, Hong Tuo had no intention of appreciating it, and kept wandering in the courtyard, although Wu Gui's room was lit, only his doppelganger was in it.
Although the clone is not much different from Wu Gui, Hong Tuo is too lazy to communicate with him, after all, there is no friendship between the two, and there is even a little hostile relationship, what can be worth communicating except for business.
After waiting for a while, he still didn't come back, Hong Tuo went back to his room and looked at Ah Sheng, who was in good condition, and was thinking about whether to meditate and communicate with others, when he suddenly heard a noise and shouting in the north.
Hong Tuo hurriedly ran out of the room, looked over there, and didn't see anything, only to see a faint fire over there in a few blinks, indicating that the fire was gradually getting bigger.
That direction seems to be the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, and the people who live in the City Lord's Mansion are the aunts and young ladies and so on, and Kang Nian's leisurely residence seems to be over there, what's wrong?
Hong teased and tried to call Kang An, but after half an hour Kang An hurriedly ran over, panting and said, "What do you have to say to Second Master Wu?"
Hong Tuo asked what was going on over there, and it happened that Wu Gui also came out of the room, didn't say anything, and walked to Hong Kuo's side.
Kang An raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead, and said in a somewhat anxious tone: "The fourth lady has somehow gone out of the water, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and the people are rushing to put out the fire, and they are probably going to make noise for a while, and I ask the sons to take care of it." ”
Hong teased and said, "Is there something wrong with people?"
Kang An shook his head: "As soon as the fire broke out, someone found out, and it didn't hurt anyone, but the yard was afraid that it would be uninhabitable for a long time......"
Hong teased him carefully, and said suspiciously: "Since you found it from the beginning, how can the fire be so big?"
Kang An made a bitter face: "It's all right, it was originally just a basin of water, but a demon wind blew from somewhere, blowing the bamboo curtain, and the fire went up to the roof......"
Hong teased and didn't want to ask again, but he felt that this fire came strangely, so Kang An should be worried that the fire would spread, after all, once it could not be controlled, it was them who were tired.
"Thank you, if Brother An has something to do, hurry up. ”
Kang An nodded and withdrew, and before he had left far, Hong Tuo heard him shouting for the utensils that people were preparing to scoop water, followed by the sound of noisy footsteps, and gradually faded away.
Now a cold light flashed in the eyes of Wu Gui, who was beside Hong Tea, and he sneered: "Take advantage of the present, let's go to some places to take a look." ”
Hong was startled, turned his head to look at him, and knew that Wu Gui had returned, and was somewhat puzzled by what he said: "What?"
Wu Gui smiled: "Go to the city lord's study and take a look." ”
Hong teased and said: "It's just a place for ordinary mortals, so it's easy to go, why bother making this one?"
Wu Gui shrugged helplessly: "I also think, who would have thought that there was a ban in that place, and I couldn't get in." ”
Hong Tuo was a little surprised: "You can't even get in, so how can I get in now?"
Could it be that this fire can still burn the ban?
"I don't know, but I've got to get something out of this fire......
"You really put this fire on it, okay, why is that?"
Wu Gui smiled and said, "Why don't we talk while going to the study?"
Hong En was speechless, so he could only nod, seeing Wu Gui raise his hand to set an enchantment for his room, thinking that it was to protect Ah Sheng.
The two of them pinched the invisibility trick all the way to the direction of the study, and met a lot of slaves and maids with buckets and basins along the way.
"There are so many people, don't wait for the fire to be extinguished?"
Wu Gui was quite confident: "No, I put that fire with mana, although it won't hurt mortals, ordinary water can't be extinguished for a while, if someone can come up with something to extinguish the fire, it will save our efforts." ”
Hong Tuo seemed to understand: "You set the fire for this, and you haven't found anything this afternoon?"
Wu Gui coughed dryly: "It's Wu who is conceited, except for some unclean things buried at the bottom of the small back mountain, nothing else has been found, and her breath has not been found for a long time, as if she has been swallowed by something." I looked around inside and outside the city, and finally only found that there was something wrong with the city lord's study, but I didn't know what was forbidden to enter, and I couldn't enter, and I passed by Kangqing's courtyard on the way back to the room, and suddenly heard her whispering with the personal maid, and I didn't feel happy to put this fire, just taking advantage of the chaos in the city lord's mansion, we went to the study to see. ”
Although the backyard of the city lord's mansion has become a mess, the people in the outer courtyard are still orderly, especially at the door of the study, there are several guards in strict hands, but there is no candle burning inside, which shows that the city lord is not inside.
The two of them easily approached the outside of the study courtyard with their mana, Wu Gui stopped moving forward, Hong teased him suspiciously, only to see him stretch out his hand forward, and the space touched by his fingertips rippled, indicating that the space was resistant to him.
Hong Tuo tried to reach forward, but he also felt a trace of resistance, but it didn't seem to be as strong as Wu Gui's, he tried to hide his aura and touch it again, and found that his fingers could probe through that space.
Hong Tuo and Wu Gui glanced at each other, Wu Gui opened his mouth, this is how he has already tried, but he still can't get in, thinking that this prohibition only allows mortals to enter.
Hong Tuo asked him what to do, Wu Gui spread his hands: "What else can I do, you go in and take a look, I'll go to other places to have a look." ”
"Where?"
Wu Gui smiled: "Keep it secret for the time being......"
After speaking, the whole person disappeared in front of Hong Tuo's eyes, Hong Tuo scolded in his heart, what kind of mystery is there at this time, and I don't know what Ah Lu's situation is now, but now since there is only this one wrong, he always has to try.
After collecting the spiritual power, he naturally couldn't use the stealth technique, but fortunately, the place they had just found was relatively hidden, Hong Tuo observed the situation of the guards for a while, and took advantage of the gap between them to turn around and burrow into the study through a window.
Because the lights are burning outside, the inside is not too dark, and the inside is very large, and you can faintly see some bookshelves and bookcases, as well as tables, chairs and high kangs.
After all, he has also practiced, even with this kind of light, Hong Tuo can see some things clearly, but it is still inconvenient to check things.
However, Hong is not stupid, there are some secret secret passages hidden in the study rooms of large families, so he lightly tries to knock and beat in some places, but he doesn't dare to make too much movement, and most of them can only be judged by his own feelings.
In the end, when he came across an antique bottle on Duobao Pavilion, he found that something was a little different, he couldn't move this bottle, and he couldn't lift it, obviously it was the trigger switch.
Hong Tuo tried to turn, but found that how to turn it, as if stuck to it, it was really a little strange, so I had to touch it to the side again, and touched a rectangular jade carving, but I could pick it up, he touched the bottom, it seemed to be engraved with some patterns, and I suddenly felt a little strange in my heart, and the ghost sent the god to insert that thing into the vase of Fang Cai, the height was just right, and then I touched the vase, and it was able to turn.
