Chapter Twenty-Eight: Infiltration
The situation in front of me is really like an ancient saying, and it comes out after a long time, still holding the pipa and half-covering his face.
Although the man in front of him did not have a lute in his hand, he had a face covering.
Mu Li, who originally wanted to see Fangrong, couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he finally robbed the way, pretended to be a sedan chair man, and waited for so long to wait for her out, originally planned to remember this person's appearance and see what kind of person could make Yuan Wuzhi so fascinated, but this most simple wish was still rejected by a layer of purple sand.
The woman who came out of the bamboo building was covered with a layer of purple gauze on her face, so that people could only see above the bridge of her nose. Even her body is wearing a close-fitting purple veil, which gives people a sense of nobility and mystery as a whole. It was obvious that she was the target of Mu Li and the others this time.
For such a result, Mu Li could only secretly complain, who would have thought that this Yuan Wuzhi would be so stingy, not only quietly placed his woman in a place almost isolated from the world, but also covered his face, was he afraid that this woman's appearance was too beautiful, and in the end, even the sedan chair man who came to carry the sedan chair couldn't hold it? However, just looking at the veil, she does have a pair of extremely charming eyes, and even her figure can be regarded as a top grade, just by virtue of these, even if she really has a very ordinary face, she can be regarded as having enough capital to stand proudly in the group.
Mu Li, who had disappointed hope, could only lower his eyes again, if he kept staring at her, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not make her suspicious, and according to his generation, the woman in front of him could still be said to be his housewife.
"We've been waiting for the girl here for a long time, please get into the sedan chair. The head of the sedan chair man very respectfully made a sedan salute to the woman.
"I'm tired. She replied with three words lightly, and then walked towards the sedan chair without even looking at him. Just as she was passing by Mu Li, she suddenly stopped.
"Please wait a little longer, I forgot something, and I'm going to go back again. She was about to lift the curtain and get into the sedan chair, but the woman turned her head and explained to the leader.
"Well, we're still here for you. Although the leader was already impatient to wait just now, he still couldn't say the words telling her to hurry up and get on the sedan chair and leave, after all, she was Yuan Wuzhi's heart, as long as he tilted his mouth in Yuan Wuzhi's ear slightly, his head would immediately move, so she could only come.
The woman gestured slightly to the leader, and then walked back to the attic. It can be said that the front foot went in and the back foot followed out, and she came out again after a short time after she just entered, and this time she simply entered the sedan chair without saying anything.
After she went in and finished it, Mu Li heard the sound of unveiling inside, and thought that this was indeed the case. The inside of the sedan chair was already more stuffy than the outside, and she couldn't wear a veil all the time when she sat inside, otherwise she would definitely be out of breath. This is also why the old brother who chatted with him before happened to see the true face of this woman because the wind blew open the sedan curtain.
"You can go. ”
After the woman sat down, she simply said these four words, and the eight sedan chair men, including Mu Li, lifted the sedan chair again, and then walked towards the road of Yuan's mansion. Along the way, Mu Li kept thinking about the person in the sedan chair, and he had a vague intuition, he always felt that he had seen this person somewhere.
It was already afternoon when the palanquin man came to pick her up, and by the time she arrived at the Nine Doors headquarters, the sun was almost setting, and at this moment the torches had been lit outside the entire camp.
Mu Li wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, he was hotter than the rest of the people, because he was wearing his own clothes in addition to the clothes outside. Looking up, I glanced at the pattern on the top of the large black iron door, on which there was a golden carving of a pu fan, and the fan surface was divided into nine pieces, which is also the origin of the name of the nine doors.
On either side of the door were several guards guarding the door, each of them with a fierce gaze and a long body, who were inspecting the palanquin and the palanquin. Each person's pass is the waist tag they carry with them, which is an iron plaque that is also engraved with a fan totem on it.
Mu Li's heart was cold, thinking that he might be about to show his stuffing, he rarely used his brain once, it can be said that he thought everything through, but he missed the most inconspicuous part.
When he kidnapped the palanquin driver, he just changed into his clothes, but he didn't notice the small sign. When they checked the first few people, they all took out this pass card, and it was Mu Li's turn next. It's important to get out of it now, and there will be opportunities later, and when I think that my first time will be so fruitless, I can't help but feel a little annoyed. He clenched his iron fist little by little, and a slight crackling sound sounded between his fingers, he had already thought about it, as long as the situation was wrong, he would continue to defeat the guards and escape, with their skills, they would never be able to catch up with him.
"It's your turn, waist card!" The fierce guard had already mentioned that he had come to Mu Li's face, he had felt that Mu Li was not quite right since just now, everyone else was honestly waiting to be inspected, but he was wiping his sweat, and from time to time his head would glance around a few times. Just as the latter was about to punch the guard in the face, the two stopped at the same time.
"This big brother, it's not early, can you save these troubles and make it convenient for us. The voice came from the sedan chair, and it was naturally the people inside who spoke.
"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, if some ill-intentioned people get in, not only will I be unable to escape the blame, but I may also endanger the girl's safety. ”
"But don't you think I'm doing well now, if something really happened, I would have been out on the road a long time ago, since there was no accident on the road, and the guards inside were so tight, are you still afraid that something will happen. ”
"Don't dare, just ......"
He originally wanted to shake his wit, but he was ridiculed a few times. It wasn't the first time he had greeted this sedan chair here, but it was the first time he had been pressured like this, and it would have been a pleasure to be lucky enough to listen to the man inside say a few words in the past, but at this moment, the extremely ecstatic tone has uncharacteristically sharpened.
"It's nothing, it's just that if you wait any longer, I'm afraid that the door master will feel impatient, if the door master is unhappy, then something is really going to happen, what do you think. The guard with a tiger's back was suddenly speechless by her, "It's a waste of time to entangle it any longer, why not be accommodating, the right is to make friends, and besides, there will be a long life in the future." ”
The woman said and stretched out her hand from the sedan curtain, and then took a large ingot of gold and put it in Mu Li's hand. Mu Li immediately understood, and then put it in the hands of this guard, and the intention was already very obvious.
Looking at this gold ingot, the guard's heart, which was still playing the drum, was also depressed by more than half, and this piece of gold was almost enough to cover his salary for a whole year of watching the door here.
"If something happens, I'll be responsible. ”
“...... All right. The guard thought for a moment and responded, he didn't know how many times he had taken over in and out like this, and he didn't expect anything to happen this time, why not find this opportunity to sell this new love a favor, and earn her a big gold ingot, just killing two birds with one stone. He saw that Mu Li was young and good-looking, so he thought of him as a little white face brought in from the outside by this new favorite, and other ladies had done similar things before, as for the sweat he had been sweating, it was estimated that he had done a lot with this new favorite behind his back, so it led to physical weakness. After thinking about this, the guard also nodded, and then politely opened the way to them, and deliberately compensated Mu Li, this strong man can be regarded as a long-time experienced, he understands very well, as long as he pleases this little white face, it is more effective than saying ten more good words in front of this new favorite.
After entering, everything became unimpeded, all the guards on duty saw the sedan chair and bent down to salute, in the middle they also met a concubine of Yuan Mansion on the road, she looked a little bit beautiful, her face looked very bad, presumably she was unwilling to be robbed of favor by this new love, but she could only watch from a distance, and did not dare to come closer.
In the middle, there were several barracks and towers, as well as a few people hiding to gamble, and even a lonely maid lingering with the guards in the grass, Mu Li's hearing had been opened to the maximum, and he could hear their whispers clearly. However, none of this aroused his interest, and there were only two destinations for him from beginning to end, Yuan Wuzhi's room and the cell.
From the first step into this Yuan Mansion, he felt from a distance that there was a place in this mansion where a large amount of essence had gathered, and if it was expected, this should be the dungeon that the master had told him. There are a few breaths in it that are particularly amazing, maybe they are still above him. It is possible that Yuan Wuzhi is there now.
After walking for a long time, the sedan chair drivers stopped in front of a very imposing-looking house, and after turning around several times, Mu Li had already lost his sense of direction, and he expected that this must be Yuan Wuzhi's room.
After the sedan chair landed, the new favorite walked out of it, and at this time she had already put on the veil again, even when she arrived at Yuan's mansion, she still didn't take it off, it seemed that she really didn't plan to let anyone else see her face except Yuan Wuzhi.
Mu Li could only smile bitterly at this, at this time there was already a maid who came out of the room to greet the woman, Mu Li expected that from now on there would be nothing to do with him, and after the sedan bearers went back to rest, he sneaked over again and hid again, ensuring that when Yuan Wuzhi really started to have fun with her, he immediately ran to the dungeon to find out.
But this is not destined to be a peaceful night, strange things happened again, if it was a coincidence that she helped Mu Li just now, then now the actions of this new favorite really made him feel frightened.
"You can go back and rest," she casually blew up the crowd carrying the sedan chair, and Mu Li originally wanted to go along, but an extremely beautiful and soft hand suddenly grabbed his cuffs.
"Come in with me. ”
