Chapter 18: Meiyin Villa

"Song Changze and his adopted son and daughter, who were originally the three famous masters in the Cloud Silence Gate, died one after another overnight, and even the house was burned down with a fire. Legend has it that they killed each other, but I don't think so. Xiao Mu looked at Wen Ember with a smile: "What do you think, Gongzi Wen." Still is...... I should call you, Song Ling. ”

Wen Yan's face sank when he heard this, Song Ling was the pseudonym he used in the Cloud Silence Gate. Except for the dead uncle and sister, only He Jiangli knows his dual identity.

Where did Xiao Mu come from? Moreover, he didn't seem to have the intention of informing.

This person is really unfathomable. What is his purpose?

"Ember is fine. Liu Xunyin held his hand tightly on the scabbard: "Calm down." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Mu smiled and said, "Miss Liu, your father's clue is in my hands." But don't worry, Mr. Yu saved my grandmother back then, and I still understand the truth of retribution. ”

"How is my father?" asked Liu Xunyin.

"According to the informant, the last time it appeared in the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows. ”

"Forget the Valley of Sorrows?" Tang Qiqi was taken aback: "Is this true?"

"What's in it for me to lie to you. Xiao Mu put the fan away: "However, since then, he has disappeared and has not been heard from at all." ”

"I wrote a letter to ask my grandfather. Tang Qiqi turned around and went upstairs.

"Qiqi!" Liu Xunyin stopped her and persuaded: "We are uncertain about our whereabouts now, where will the letter be sent? Besides, when the letter comes back and forth, we have already arrived in southern Xinjiang." ”

"We're leaving, let's go to Meiyin Villa first. Wen Ember lifted the burden: "There are fewer people out of the city at this hour. ”

"Good. He Jiangli picked up the knife on the table.

Xiao Mu smiled contemptuously and shook his head.

"Young Master Xiao?" Liu Xunyin wondered, "What do you mean by this." ”

"You don't have to call Xiao Gongzi, I'm just a market person. Xiao Mu said: "However, how could Meiyin Villa not know the power of Yun Lonely Gate, why do you think that they will sit and wait to die." ”

"It's just an ordinary money bank, the sword has no eyes, even if they sit on a mountain of gold and silver, it is useless. Tang Qiqi sneered.

"Zeng Yuan is a well-known gentleman, do you think that the Meiyin Mountain Zhuang's family has a big business, and if you can't find a son-in-law, how can you be willing to marry your daughter-in-law to him?"

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Xiao Mu sneered: "Because of the eldest lady of his family, no one dares to marry at all." ”

"Why?" Liu Xunyin wondered.

"Yang Ke, the owner of this Meiyin Villa, was originally a robber, extremely vicious, and committed chaos, and was later jointly eliminated by the government. After coming out of prison, he pretended to change his past mistakes, washed his hands in a golden basin, and went to the Kunlun School to learn art. Meiyin Villa is ostensibly a money village, and it also takes the name of a literati and elegant guest. In fact, money laundering, opening brothels, and doing all kinds of evil. Although Yang Ke's daughter Yang Fei is beautiful, she is a complete, and she is a perfect match for Zeng Yuan, a prodigal. Xiao Mu said: "It's just that there are many guards in this Meiyin Villa, and now I'm afraid that even a fly can't fly in." ”

"A group of bandits, just by brute force, can still be the enemy of real kung fu. Tang Qiqi sneered: "But no matter how many others there are, I'm afraid they won't be able to move us at all." ”

"It's true that there is only brute force, but there are many secret passages and mechanisms all over this Meiyin Villa. With the guards guarded layer by layer, no matter how strong your martial arts are, it will not be easy to break through. They are waiting for the rabbit, and you will become a turtle in the urn if you are not careful. ”

"Then what is the high opinion of Xiao Gongzi?" asked Liu Xunyin.

"I can help you, but ......" Xiao Mu smiled: "I have a request." ”

"Xiao Gongzi, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

"Take me with you wherever you go next. ”

"Why?" Liu Xunyin wondered.

"We have the same destination. Moreover, I don't have the kung fu and need you to protect me. ”

"Xiao Gongzi is witty, the enemy is afraid that he can't dodge, who dares to touch you in the slightest. Tang Qiqi sneered.

"Do you want to say that I am full of conspiracy?" Xiao Mu smiled: "Miss Tang, I just treat you as if you are praising me." All you have to do is answer, yes or no. ”

"If there are no clues, going to southern Xinjiang to find people is just looking for a needle in a haystack. Looking for sound, promise him yes. Wen Yan said: "Xiao Mu, if you have bad intentions, I can kill you at any time." ”

"Of course I do. Xiao Mu smiled: "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you." ”

Tang Qiqi was a little dissatisfied, and Liu Xunyin pressed her arm: "We promise you, can Xiao Gongzi tell me the method of cracking now?"

"Refreshing. Xiao Mu took out a yellow silk map from his arms: "I have a layout map of Meiyin Villa." ”

"Zeng Yuan only fled last night, how did you know where they went?" Tang Qiqi asked, "How did you get the map overnight?"

"Miss Tang, everyone has their own abilities. Xiao Mu smiled: "You are familiar with the internal terrain first, and then it is convenient to act." ”

After arriving in Xiangyang, Tang Qiqi entrusted the carefree to the innkeeper to take care of, and the five of them set off to Meiyin Villa. I saw that the door was guarded layer by layer, the guards changed their guards in shifts, and all those who entered and exited had to be searched and checked, which was very rigorous. The five of them squatted in the grass, holding their breath.

"That's good. Tang Qiqi said anxiously.

"Ember Wen, you've done a good job. Can you do me a favor? Xiao Mu looked at Wen Yan.

"What?"

"The housekeeper's room was around the corner from the garden. You give him a sentence, fifty taels of gold for a piece of paper, there is no such loss-making transaction in the world. ”

"Wen Yan!" Liu Xunyin grabbed him and asked Xiao Mu, "Is there a mechanism near the housekeeper's room?"

"Don't worry, I've been there. You just need to remember to walk on the rockery and don't step on the gravel road, and you will be safe. ”

"Why should I believe you? Liu Xunyin asked.

"I'm in your hands, and if anything happens to him, I won't be able to live. Xiao Mu said.

"It's fine. Wen Yan held Liu Xunyin's hand: "I'll go back when I go." ”

After a while, I saw Wen Ember flying back. The housekeeper walked out of the villa with a panicked look and looked around, Xiao Mu picked up a stone and threw it at his feet.

The housekeeper understood, went around in a circle, evaded the attendants to find them, and said to Xiao Mu: "Childe, you clearly said that as long as I provide a map, you can let Yun Lonely Gate spare my life." Why did you come to me again, if the owner found out......"

"I repented. Xiao Mu said: "Now I want you to take us in." ”

"Childe, you are embarrassed old man, it is better to kill me directly with a sword. ”

"Then I will do as you wish. He Jiangli pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at him.

The housekeeper knelt down with a plop: "Everyone, spare my life, I have an old bone, and I want to live for two more years." ”

"You can manage such a big villa, what kind of good stubble can be, you don't have to sell miserably in front of us, just answer, yes, or no. ”

"Old man, do your best. But you follow me, don't make a sound, lest your identity be revealed. ”

"Good. Xiao Mu pressed a fan against the butler's waist: "Go straight forward, don't act rashly, otherwise I will kill you." ”

"Yes...... It's ......," the butler said tremblingly.

"There are poisonous needles hidden in the fan, if you dare to have two hearts, I will let you taste it. ”

"A good man spares his life. I'll go, I'll go. ”

"Steward Li, who are these people? When he walked into the villa, the caretaker asked.

Steward Li only felt that the fan against his waist was a little stronger, and he pretended to be calm and said: "I hired a master to protect the master, don't do too much!

"Yes. The family was very afraid of Steward Li, and suddenly disappeared.

After passing through the Wooden Circle and Stone Town, the scenery ahead became deeper and deeper.

"Don't play tricks. Xiao Mu said sharply.

"The old man didn't dare. Steward Li was so frightened that he shuddered.

Walking to the depths of the garden, Steward Li asked them to look down and pay attention to their feet, but they stepped on the mechanism and flashed sideways, spinning against the stone wall and disappeared. Not long after, a flare exploded in the sky, emitting a faint blue light. Meiyin Villa instantly became agitated: "Someone, catch the assassin!"

"Be careful. Wen Shen flew up and took Liu Xunyin to the safety of the roof with light power, and then went down to join the fight.

Xiao Mu hid behind the pillar, more and more families came from all directions, Tang Qiqi was attacked on his back, and a stick smashed down behind him.

"Miss Tang be careful!" Xiao Mu stretched out his hand to block it, and the stick hit his wrist: "Hiss, it hurts." ”

Tang Qiqi slapped his palm, and the sneak attack was knocked to the ground.

Seeing that the battle situation was tight, Liu Xunyin pulled the jade flute from her waist and put it to her lips, trying her best to recall the key points that Du Yun had taught her before, and she was not too sure in her heart. As the sound of the flute sounded, the wind in the courtyard instantly roared and swept in, and the family was hit to the ground by the wind and could not move.

"Xiao Chumen's kung fu is really powerful. Xiao Mu thought in his heart.

"Are you all right? After standing still, Liu Xunyin hurriedly asked.

"It's fine. Tang Qiqi smiled and said: "It turns out that my sister can also use the technique of controlling the wind with the sound of the flute." ”

Liu Xunyin was a little embarrassed: "I learned some from Qinghe's uncle, and today is the first time I use it." ”

He Jiangli looked around, saw Steward Li and the Zeng couple, stepped on the wound on the chest of a family member and asked sharply, "Where is Zeng Yuanren!"

Under the severe pain, the family was stunned and silent, pulled out his sword and wiped his neck and committed suicide. He Jiangli stretched out his hand to stop him, but the other party was already angry.

"Don't ask, these people are all outlaws, and they all signed a life and death contract. Xiao Mu said: "It's better to go to the place where the housekeeper disappeared just now." ”

"Yes, Brother He, let's go. Liu Xunyin said.

The sky is dark, and the sound of water flowing in the garden rockery is murmuring. The five searched for the agency again and again, but found nothing.

"This housekeeper, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, actually escaped so fast. Tang Qiqi complained.

"The flowing water seems to have come in from the outside. Liu Xunyin stared at the rockery for a long time, frowned, and said: "But the terrain here is gentle, and there is no canal, where does it flow?"

Xiao Mu lifted the lantern and shone it at the water, only to see a small group of fish fry, swimming to a certain hole and being sucked in.

"Something doesn't seem right here. He frowned and thought, "Wen Ash, come and have a look." ”

Ember pressed down on the stone at the entrance of the cave, and the stone wall moved slowly, revealing a downward tunnel behind him.
