Nine doors is headquartered in Pingyang County, in the hinterland of Taiyi. Linyi, Qufu in the south, Laiwu in the north, Tai'an in the west, more than 100 kilometers away from Jinan, surrounded by mountains and hills.

At this moment, Mu Li was shuttling on the mountain road to the headquarters of the Nine Gates, and in his spare time, he remembered the last words that Master had said to him.

＃＃＃＃＃

"Where did you get this drawing? ”

"I didn't look for it, this was given to me by Han Yatou a few days ago. ”

After Han Ya was seriously injured by Xie Long a few days ago, Han Ya's uncle Han Qianye personally went to visit her in her small residence, and left her this topographic map of the Nine Doors when she left, and also told her to familiarize herself with the map, and then discuss how to solve the matter of the Nine Doors after she recovers.

So she gave you the picture again. Mu Li asked.

"Yes, this girl can be said to trust us very much, and we naturally can't live up to her expectations. ”

"But this place is so big, where should I find it? Mu Li couldn't help but feel a headache when he looked at this topographic map, according to the introduction on this map, there were more than a dozen rooms for Yuan Wuzhi and her concubine alone, if he really looked for them one by one, it was estimated that there would be no results in a few days.

"Let me give you two suggestions, you can focus on two places to visit. ”

"Which two places. ”

"Yuan Wuzhi's room and the dungeon of nine doors. Especially the dungeon, which you need to pay extra attention to. ”

"Dungeon?"

If it was Yuan Wuzhi's room, he could still understand it, after all, most people are also used to putting the most important things by their side, so they can be more at ease. But the dungeon is a place for prisoners, and who would put something of vital importance in such a place.

"I also heard some disciples of the Nine Doors privately circulating, since five years ago, Yuan Wuzhi has placed most of the elites of the headquarters in the dungeon, and some secret tasks have also been transferred to the dungeon little by little, Yuan Wuzhi will personally go to the innermost cell of the dungeon every few months to interrogate a prisoner. ”

"It was five years ago, and it felt like everything could be related to five years ago. ”

"Anyway, it's all up to you, you're also a dignified fifth-level qi master now, don't make a joke. ”

As far as Mu Li's current footsteps are concerned, it only took more than half an hour to reach Pingyang, and this is still when he deliberately slowed down the cloth. It was already very late after arriving at the destination, although the dead of night was a good time to start, but Mu Li was not in a hurry at this time, as Master often said, it is better to be careful when you are out alone.

The nine doors in this Pingyang area can be said to be completely powerful, even the government has to weigh a few more times when they see them, basically just ask someone can come up with a few words, he decided to find an inn to stay for the night first, first collect a little information, and wait until the next night when everything is ready before starting.

Soon it was the next morning, because he didn't have to get up early to climb Mount Tai as usual today, he lay on the bed for a while, and when he really woke up, it was nearly eight o'clock, and this sleep was really very comfortable.

Before he came, Master Ye also gave him a hundred taels of silver to wrap up money, and in his impression, Master never seemed to be short of money, but he never took it out and used it. Mu Li lives in an inn with a good environment, the room is on the second floor, after waking up, he washed his face and went downstairs to have breakfast, at this time many people have sat down in the lobby one after another, so that he remembered the Huiyan Pavilion at that time.

The people who can come to the inn for breakfast are also some wealthy guests who are quite well-off, and in the past few years, the nine doors have basically cleaned up the nearby civilians, and the average civilians can't afford to eat restaurants at all. Especially when he rewarded the shopkeeper with a few copper plates, and the shopkeeper thanked him with tears in his eyes, this feeling was particularly clear.

For breakfast, he simply asked for an egg, a few buns, and a bowl of porridge. Just as he took a bite, he suddenly heard a few guests drinking tea next to him talking about topics that interested him.

"Hey, I said, have you all seen Yuan Wuzhi's new favorite? ”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing a silk shirt and a gauze hat, and he had a few sparse beards under his nose, and it could be judged from his complexion that this should be a person who often indulges in lust.

"Who can see that kind of woman except Yuan Wuzhi, have you seen it?" replied a friend who was also wearing a robe and a horse coat.

"Don't brag with you, I've really seen it. ”

"I think you're really long, you dare to worry about Yuan Wuzhi's woman. The last friend sitting across from him laughed and cursed, and his face didn't look very good.

"Hey, how dare I think about his woman, but once I saw the sedan chair carrying her passing by, and it happened to be a gust of wind to lift the curtains, and I glanced at it from a distance. ”

"How's that, how's that?" the other friend's interest was also lifted by him.

"Hehe, you didn't see it, tell you, when I saw that woman, my bones were almost crispy. Don't mention that one is exciting!"

"What about being energetic, don't you just think about it, if you can dominate the side like others, no one can control how many women you want to find!"

Just as a few people were laughing and having fun, a person walked up to them with his own plate and bowl, and when he looked closely, it was a tall young man who was almost 1.9 meters tall, and the plate in his hand was a few buns and eggs, and the bowl was a few sips of gruel.

"Brothers, can you let the younger brother listen to it too. Mu Li smiled at the three of them, and there was an incomparable sense of flattery in his smile.

These three people, you look at me, I look at you, but they are speechless. The man in front of him was extremely tall, although he was relatively thin, but it was not difficult to see from the muscular lines on his neck and wrists that this kid must have practiced, and the ugly smile that should be squeezed out of his stiff face was even more frightening.

The middle-aged man who provoked the topic directly raised his little heart to his throat, and the nine doors were full of ears and eyes in the entire Pingyang, could it be that this young man who looked bad was also a thug of the nine doors?

Just when the middle-aged man wanted to stand up and wave his hand and say, "We didn't say anything just now, and we won't dare to do it in the future, so please raise your hand and go back to eat", Mu Li first put the plates and bowls directly on the table, and then asked this person to sit down again with a very reassuring attitude, and calmed the nervous emotions of the other two people by the way, he could roughly guess that these guys regarded him as a minions of the Nine Doors.

Mu Li said that he came to Pingyang from near Mount Tai to do odd jobs, and he was not familiar with life when he first arrived, and when he heard them talking about beautiful women, he wanted to come over together to have an ear addiction. After sitting down and chatting for a while, they felt that the young man had a good attitude, and they believed him. If it was an ordinary disciple of the Nine Doors who heard someone say something to their master behind his back, he would not kick it up and cut it directly with a knife, and besides, the disciples of the Nine Doors would not usually come to eat in this kind of small inn, which is why they dare to judge here.

"When my brother first arrived, he must not know the power of these nine doors. The middle-aged man in the gauze hat turned back to that indecent face.

"How can you not know this, we also have a branch entrance with nine doors there. Mu Li looked at the man with flying eyebrows and couldn't help but vomit in his heart, do you know that the power of these nine doors is still sitting here thinking about other people's concubines. "Let's get down to business and move on to the new favorite. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the old brother who is off topic," the middle-aged man glanced around, and after learning from the past, he deliberately lowered his voice this time, "A month and a half ago, Yuan Wuzhi's old thing found a new concubine from outside, and I heard that he also lived near Mount Tai before, and he should be from the same place as his brother." ”

"I've never heard of that. "If there really is such a woman, it is estimated that Mu Li's ears would have been boiling for a long time.

"A month and a half ago...... , this old thing still has this mood. ”

"What do you say. ”

"It's nothing, it's just a sentence to yourself, you go on, I also want to hear what that new favorite looks like, it must be a stunning beauty. ”

A month and a half ago, it happened to be when General Zhenxi summoned Yuan Wuzhi, Han Ya and his uncle Han Qianye to Jinan for a meeting to escort Blue Crystal. Later, there were a series of things such as murder and robbery in the middle of the nine gates, and he sent his men back to Yange to kidnap Han Ya. It is said that at this time, he should have been anxious about the key in Han Ya's hand a long time ago, and he would even take another concubine at such a time, and even the people eating melons in the inn were told as a joke.

"At that time, I was far away, and I didn't see it very clearly, but I was a beautiful girl, and I didn't look very old. ”

"After that, if the brother wants to take a look, he probably won't have a chance, who knows when he will be able to meet someone sitting in a sedan chair again. Mu Li continued to probe.

"There's no chance here, if you really want to take a look, just go find a place to wait this afternoon. ”

"Is she still going to come out in a sedan chair every day?"

"It's not every day that I come out in a sedan chair, it's that every day there will be a special sedan chair driver who will go to the girl's residence to pick her up and take her to Yuan's mansion. ”

"Wait, isn't this new favorite living in Yuan Wuzhi's house. Mu Li finally heard what seemed to be a breakthrough.

"This is also the most puzzling, since I have this new favorite, I heard that Yuan Wuzhi has put aside the rest of the dozen or so concubines, and only spoils her every night. But I don't know why, Yuan Wuzhi just didn't give her a name, and he didn't place her in Yuan's mansion, even if they met every day, they always asked someone to pick her up. ”

"Could it be that you are afraid that the rest of the wives will complain?"

"How is it possible, apart from the previous leader of the Tianxing Gang, who else can Yuan Wuzhi be afraid of. Another friend said.

"That's right. Mu Li himself laughed, indeed, two years ago, Yuan Wuzhi hooked up with a guard in the palace because of a concubine, and he put the concubine in a rage, and the guard was directly punished by Ling Chi, and even the person who was slightly involved either had a broken arm or a leg missing.

"Can the old brother give me some advice, where can I meet the sedan chair, and the brother may be able to open his eyes. Mu Li said and waved his hand to call Xiao Er over again, and asked for another good dish on the table of the three of them.

"I didn't expect my brother to look serious, and he was in a hurry. The man in the robe and horse coat patted Mu Li's shoulder, and the three indecent middle-aged people were quite satisfied with Mu Li's behavior.

"Look at what you said, it's really good to have a few men in the world. ”

"Hahaha," at this moment, their hearts were completely relaxed, "Well, I think my brother is also a real person, and it can be regarded as fate that we can meet today, so I will point you to a clear path...... ”

The Yuan Mansion is where the headquarters of Nine Doors is located.

The headquarters of Nine Doors is built in a mountain col in Binh Duong, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but for this kid who comes and goes from the foot of Mount Tai every morning, such a lot is simply like walking on the ground.

He had taken refuge in a high place last night, looking down at the brightly lit area not far away. The roads inside extend in all directions, and there are almost 100 large and small houses combined, which is basically consistent with the marks on the map.

In addition to the guards of the iron gate outside, there are a lot of minions on the surrounding undulating mountains, and there is a small watchtower every almost fifty meters, if you find that the enemy invades, as long as one of the towers ignites the beacon fire, the surrounding subordinates and reinforcements can continue to arrive from all around, which is really a solid defense for ordinary people, but only for ordinary people. Even if the number of people here is doubled, Mu Li can still come and go at will.

But it's still a lot of trouble to find it this way, and it's naturally no problem for him to sneak in, but it's a different matter after he gets in. Maybe in the process of his search, he will unknowingly alarm someone.

＃＃＃＃＃

"Girl, we're here. ”

A small bamboo building was built next to a clear stream, and the sedan chair driver carried the sedan chair through a small bamboo forest as usual before coming here. It would not be easy to grow such a small bamboo forest on a land like the north, let alone build a house. Mu Li looked up without a trace, there was also a small garden, the layout was very similar to the small building that Han Ya had taken her to, in addition, they also saw a lot of gardeners repairing bamboo branches and leaves on the way here, if they wanted to plant bamboo on the dry land in the north, they would definitely have to find someone to take care of it from time to time. Needless to say, she also knew that this must have been arranged for her by the famous Nine Doors Door Master, and this alone can also see his love for this woman.

Mu Li and the rest of the palanquin drivers stopped the palanquin in front of the bamboo building, and learned that they bowed their heads and bent down to wait for the people in the house to come out. His current identity is a palanquin driver.

Later, he inquired about a few people one after another, and everyone said the same, Yuan Wuzhi has indeed been obsessed with a new favorite recently, and it seems that he is not lightly obsessed, and he will take her into the house from time to time. If it was really like what they said, Yuan Wuzhi would have a private meeting with this concubine every night, maybe this woman would be his cover. At least he can ensure that Yuan Wuzhi will not suddenly pop out of somewhere when he is looking for something, if he is a little luckier, maybe he can pry something useful out of her mouth, as soon as he thought of this, he made up his mind to personally meet this new favorite full of mystery.

After lunch, he hid in the haystack on the road that the sedan chair drivers had to pass through, and waited for a long time, and finally waited for this sedan chair.

The decoration of this sedan chair is extremely luxurious, or the kind of big sedan chair that needs to be carried by eight people, judging from the way these eight people carry the sedan chair and walk, they should all know more or less kung fu, and each person's physique is about the same height as him, he can't help but feel happy when he sees this. He secretly followed the palanquin for a long time, and finally waited for them to stop.

After passing through a valley pass, they rested on the spot, and Mu Li took the opportunity to kidnap a palanquin driver who ran alone to relieve himself. According to what the sedan chair man said, every time the head of the Yuan Mansion would arrange for a different sedan chair man to pick her up at the new favorite's residence, so they were not familiar with each other, as soon as he thought of this, Mu Li simply took off his clothes and put them on himself, he pretended to be a sedan chair man and mixed in with these eight people, and finally walked around for a long time, and finally came here. If it weren't for someone who knew the terrain to guide the way, he might have fainted as he spun around.

"I'm still bathing, I'll be out later. After a while, I heard someone shouting back to the palanquin man from the bamboo building.

The voice sounded very lazy, but it seemed that he had heard it somewhere, but Mu Li thought about it, and he really couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

After waiting for a while, just when Mu Li felt a little unbearable, and had the urge to rush directly into the building and drag her out of the bathtub, the door finally opened. The sedan chair drivers, who were also looking at the waiting, bent down and saluted this person again, and Mu Li quickly learned from them and bent down again.

I saw a man come out of it.

"I'm really sorry for you to wait. ”
