Bodhi Garden is famous for its four-colored lotus flowers in the Western Regions, and the annual blooming season is one of the topics of discussion in Biyu City, and some people even hide in the corner of the wall, just to smell the fragrance of flowers that cannot be transmitted outside at all, in recent years, there have been many debates about who the owner of this garden is.

The former Bodhi Garden undoubtedly belonged to the Meng family, two years ago, it was given to the titular daughter-in-law Shangguan Ru, when the Jinpeng Castle twins openly "betrayed" the family and became a subordinate of the Dragon King, the status of the garden suddenly became awkward, the Meng family and the Shangguan family seemed to be qualified to own this famous garden, but no party ever stood up to declare the right.

It wasn't until half a year ago that Meng Yuzun, the owner of the Meng family, entered the garden to recuperate, and the controversy finally came to an end.

The Bodhi Garden in autumn is also beautiful, the lotus flower is hidden, and there are other flowers and trees to fill the vacancy, if it were not for the responsibility of protecting the Dragon King, Nie Zeng really wanted to enjoy the scenery here, but now he can only hide in the bushes like a log, and silently count in his heart according to the fixed frequency.

“...... Four hundred and one, four hundred and two, out. ”

A dozen paces away, two guards walked around behind the rockery, glanced left and right, and walked to the next hiding place.

Taking advantage of the short gap, Nie Zeng followed the dragon king and quickly entered the next layer of guard circle.

The Bodhi Garden is so well defended that the people who live here seem to be facing a great enemy.

Meng Yuzun lived in a renovated water pavilion, with thickened doors and windows, close to the water but not wet, connected to a long corridor that still zigzagged on the land for a long stretch.

The corridor near the water pavilion was full of guards with knives and groups of servants on both sides, and a little farther away, in the corridor there were dozens of big and small leaders sitting or standing in the corridor, some of them were guarding the gate of the Bodhi Garden before dawn, and they only marched into the corridor with three poles, and they did not know when they could hear their names being called.

Nie Zeng and the Dragon King did not eat or drink during the entire day, and walked around the water pavilion at an extremely slow speed, observing Meng Yuzun's residence from different angles and distances.

Meng Yuzun himself has never taken a step, but from the expressions of those who have taken care of him after leaving the Water Pavilion, he can judge the joy and anger of the number one rich man in the Western Regions, he must be in a bad mood today, most of the people who have seen him look like they are lost and depressed, and they ran out in a panic, as if they were being chased by ghosts.

When he was closest to the corridor, Nie Zeng could even hear the whispers of the slaves.

"Whoever was scolded by the master again, and I heard that he was also slapped in the face. ”

"Everyone, be careful, don't get into trouble. ”

There weren't many people who came in the afternoon, Meng Yuzun seemed to rest for a while, the Dragon King and Nie Zeng never found a chance to go further, they could only wait patiently.

This is a common thing, the person who suddenly saw the Dragon King thought that he was a divine soldier descending from the sky, but Nie Zeng knew best, this was the result of a long wait, just like last night, the two of them followed Meng Mingshu for nearly three hours, and finally suddenly appeared.

Some opportunities are actively planned, while others are delivered to the door by themselves, the latter not appearing many times, but the hidden surname is better.

At dusk, a man in his fifties stepped out of the pavilion and, like most of the people who came out that day, hung his head as if he had stepped on his dignity at every step, and for that reason he received little special attention, the guards looked aimlessly, the servants whispered eagerly, and the conversation had shifted from the irascible master to where to gamble at night.

The man did not leave along the corridor, but slowly stepped over the railing, looked down at the calm lake, sighed, and jumped.

The person closest to him was only a few steps away, and he pounced on him and dragged him, but he was still a step too late.

The water splashed everywhere, causing panic like a traceable line of fire, Nie Zeng could almost see it spreading into the distance at different speeds, and when several nearby guards and servants jumped down to save people, people dozens of steps away were still talking and laughing.

This is the opportunity to send it to the door, the Dragon King and Nie Zeng are separated by a short distance, and there is no discussion in advance, but they cooperate tacitly when they act.

The confusion did not last long, and the divers were rescued ashore, weeping bitterly in the midst of the crowd's chattering voices, and no one noticed that the two fleeting figures entered the lake and never came out.

There was a roar from the water pavilion, "Let him die! No one is allowed to stop him, a rotten life is worth a few dollars? When he dies, let his son pay off his debts!" Duan Zihua, you old bastard, dare to play tricks in front of me......

The crowd dispersed and returned to their places, and the rescuers busily squeezed water out of their clothes, as if it were some kind of incriminating evidence.

The diver stopped crying and stood up, and all who looked at him thought of the same word: the lost dog.

"Master, don't worry, even if I sell my son and grandson, I will repay this debt. The man said loudly, turned and walked out of the garden, but did not enter the corridor, leaving a shallower and shallower watermark along the way.

There was a long silence in the corridor, until after dinner, when the shift shifts arrived, and those who had not seen the tragedy could talk with the usual curiosity about the unfortunate people who could not commit suicide.

Nie Zeng and the Dragon King were clinging to the bottom of the water pavilion, leaning on the narrow gap to maintain their body balance, and heavy footsteps would be heard from time to time on it, and before he saw him, Nie Zeng could already feel Meng Yuzun's weight.

As the night deepened, it was the best time to dive into the water pavilion, but the dragon king chose to retreat.

This was completely unexpected by Nie Zeng.

The two dived all the way back to the shore, hid in the grass and trees and waited for their clothes to dry, the dragon king fell into deep thought, Nie Zeng knew that this was not the time to ask, and honestly guarded nearby.

Gu Shen changed his mind and quietly left Bodhi Garden with Nie Zeng, this day's work was not in vain, things were not as expected, he needed more evidence.

The night in Beicheng is as quiet as water, and before the second watch, there are almost no pedestrians on the streets.

Gu Shenwei came to the edge of the city, asked Nie Zeng to hide in an alley, went around in a circle, jumped into a small mansion, and knocked lightly on the door of a room in the east wing, two long, one short and two long.

The door opened, Gu Shenwei glanced inside, flashed in, and the person who lived here was a spy planted by Xu Xiaoyi.

A quarter of an hour later, he joined up with Nie Zeng and sneaked south.

Nie Zeng was puzzled, although he had the privilege of asking questions, he could distinguish the occasion and concentrate on performing the duties of the guard.

The two went to another small house, and after a little observation, jumped on the roof one after another.

Nie Zeng quickly knew who the owner of the mansion was, and also understood what the Dragon King was inquiring about just now.

"It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival. Duan Zihua looked up at the moon, didn't notice the intruder on the roof, and then looked at his wife and children sitting around the table, the open-air family banquet was about to end, and he had nothing to say, "Disperse." ”

The women sent the children back to their rooms, and then quickly cleaned up the dishes that had not been touched much, and no one made a sound except for the collision of cups and plates.

Soon, the little courtyard was empty, and the women blew out the lights in their rooms, and barely fell asleep with a sense of apprehension, leaving the crisis to the men outside.

The three sons sat opposite their father in frustration, and after a while the eldest said, "You can't blame your father about this, the war is in chaos, and the loss of goods has long been expected." ”

The second child slammed his knee so hard that he almost jumped up in pain, "Even the Jinpeng Banner doesn't work, what can Dad do? ”

The third child finally spoke, "Old master...... It's not such a person, maybe there is a turnaround. ””

Duan Zihua waved his hand and ordered his sons to retreat, they couldn't help, these words no longer meant anything to the old lord Meng Yuzun.

Duan Zihua didn't know how long he had been sitting alone, and he couldn't figure out how he could have such a thing when he was about to retire in his beautiful life, his mind was in chaos, and his eyes turned a blind eye, until the figure sat down on the round stool left by his eldest son, and he suddenly woke up.

"You ......"

"Shhhh Gu Shenwei put his index finger to his mouth.

Duan Zihua is an experienced person, straightens his body, and doesn't say a word.

Nie Zeng walked over, nodded to the Dragon King, and disappeared into the roof again.

"Now you can speak. Gu Shenwei said.

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, who are the people in the Bodhi Garden Water Pavilion is the key to the problem. ”

Duan Zihua was stunned, "Are you ...... Are you a Jinpeng killer?" He felt a sense of déjà vu from the other party.

Gu Shenwei shook his head, a little surprised in his heart, even a real Jinpeng killer couldn't feel his murderous aura, this ordinary old man who didn't know martial arts would actually notice, "I'm not from Jinpeng Castle." ”

"The Dragon King's subordinates?"

Gu Shenwei no longer answered, "You saw Meng Yuzun today. ”

Duan Zihua was obviously hostile, "It has nothing to do with you." ”

"If you want to save your wife and children, it's about me, because I can help you. ”

Duan Zihua was unmoved, and suddenly leaned over and said, "It was the king's people who snatched the goods, and now they are coming to pretend to be good people?"

"The Dragon King is not a robber, and he doesn't care about your goods. ”

Duan Zihua's face twitched, "That's right, 100,000 taels, it's not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Dragon King, but it's a killing disaster for me, but if you think you can buy me with 100,000 taels, then you're wrong, the old master is as kind to me as a mountain, even if he kills my whole family with his own hands, I don't complain." ”

"I won't pay 100,000 taels of silver to buy you, and I don't want you to betray the Meng family, on the contrary, the Meng family needs your help. ”

"You...... What do you mean?"

"I said, who are the people in the Bodhi Garden?"

"Of course it's the old master, who else can there be?"

Gu Shenwei stared at him, not wanting to give him too many hints.

Duan Zihua slowly remembered something, "This can't be." He said, "How is that possible?" old master...... How could it be fake?"

Gu Shenwei had nothing to ask, and stood up, "If I were you, just keep your mouth shut, and then try to delay as much as possible, without you doing anything, maybe the situation will take a turn." ”

Duan Zihua was dumbfounded, his heart was full of joy and sorrow, and he didn't even know how the comer disappeared.
