not only vacated the most pompous west wing of the Kou Mansion, but also sent a lot of subordinates for a few people to send.

However, at first, Kou Hong sent a few clever and capable family members, not the beautiful maids who are now pleasing in appearance.

Now these people are in the afternoon, and the fourth lady in charge of the family is disgusted with the carelessness of the family, so she draws a batch of maids from her courtyard.

It was the brightest of these maids who called the door at the moment, knocking on the door with one hand, and pinching the corner of her skirt with the other hand as if she were nervous.

After a while, Zhu Ganglie opened the door from the inside and said softly: "Girl~ came to visit late at night, but what happened to the house?"

This bright little maid lowered her head and said timidly: "A few ~ a few holy monks, it's not early, the lady and the old man are afraid that the holy monks are not familiar with the road, and tell a few of us to wait for the holy monks to finish their meals, and then lead a few to the resting room." ”

It turned out that this west wing was the general name of a house, and the Kou Yuan was afraid of being sluggish, so he had already cleaned out an upper room for each of the four people.

Zhu Ganglie looked behind the maid in advance, and sure enough, he saw three other maids waiting on the porch.

The four of them slept in the open along the way, and they stayed together for a long time, but they didn't care if they were huddled together to make do.

But as the saying goes, Taoists do as they please, and seeing that the members are sincere, there is no reason not to accept it.

"So there are a few girls. Zhu Ganglie said and got out of the way and invited the four maids in.

A few maids were quite polite, and after entering the house, they were blessed first, and then they invited Zhu Ganglie and others out of this room one by one.

They were led to their respective guest rooms.

Xu is the house is too big, and the guest rooms for several people are very scattered.

As the titular master, Jin Chan was taken by a maid to a guest room in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by bamboo forests in front of and behind the room, and the environment was very quiet.

Wukong and Sha Langlan were settled on both sides of the courtyard, quite a distance from the residence of the golden cicada.

And Zhu Ganglie was led around by the maid who had blocked the door before, and he was about to walk out of the West Wing.

smiled and asked, "Girl, where are you going to lead the next?" ”

The maid hurriedly said: "Please forgive Zhu Gongzi, the master had already ordered someone to clean up a clean guest room for Gongzi in the West Chamber, but later a clumsy subordinate accidentally got dirty again." ”

"My wife was afraid that she would neglect Zhu Gongzi, so she asked Qing'er and a few sisters to clean up a room for Zhu Gongzi elsewhere. ”

Zhu Ganglie said: "So that's the case, but it's abrupt, and I ask Miss Qing'er to continue to lead the way." ”

The two walked for a while, and finally arrived at the place.

Qing'er, who led the way, didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and she went around a lot of circles along the way, but who is Zhu Ganglie, since he looked at the flowers and flowers in the daytime, he has already memorized the pattern of this Kou Mansion.

The guest room in front of me is clearly the most deserted boundary on the outskirts of the Kou Mansion.

When she arrived at the place, Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief, "Childe is here, Qing'er retired." ”

Zhu Ganglie looked at the dark guest room in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward and pushed open the hidden door......

The room does not occupy a large area

It doesn't look like a courtyard for a large family to entertain guests.

There is no view around the house.

The only thing that makes people more satisfied is the quiet, absolute silence, this guest house is not only located on the very edge of the Koufu, but there is not the slightest sign of people around.

With a squeak, the hidden door was pushed open by Zhu Ganglie, and what came from the shop was not the moisture that had not been inhabited for a long time, but a sultry fragrance.

Zhu Ganglie sniffed lightly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing a slight arc, and he walked in slowly.

When he didn't enter the darkness of the house, there was another squeak, and the door behind him was actually closed by someone, only this time in addition to the sound of the door closing, there was still a sound of the door latching in and out.

Zhu Ganglie slowly turned to look at the person behind him who shouldn't have appeared, and chuckled: "I don't know what the so-called Madame came to visit late at night?"

The fourth lady who had just closed the door didn't have the slightest surprise on Zhu Ganglie's face, and couldn't help but say: "Originally, I wanted to make a little joke, but I didn't expect Elder Zhu to be surprised at all, I know that Qing'er's girl must have told you that she is not sure, see how I clean her up when I go back." ”

Zhu Ganglie smiled: "Madame, this is wrong, I know that Madame is here, not because of Miss Qing'er, but because of ......"

As he spoke, his nose fluttered, and he took a light breath.

The fourth lady woke up at this time that her own rouge gouache was special, and she suddenly understood, and said with relief: "The elder's previous wing room was soiled by an ignorant subordinate, and I ordered someone to arrange a new one, which is not worried about them going wrong again, so come and have a look first." ”

Zhu Ganglie smiled: "So there is Mrs. Lao." ”

The fourth lady said, "Elder Zhu is too polite......"

Just as he was about to say something more, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the silent night outside the deserted inn.

The footsteps of the person who came were very light, obviously every step was taken extra carefully and the sound of the footsteps was lowered, but each step always seemed to be a little hesitant when it fell, and the panicked heartbeat of the person in the silent night was louder than his incomprehensible footsteps, obviously very flustered.

However, the goal of the visitor was very clear, and in Zhu Ganglie's perception, he obviously recognized the guest house where he lived.

I only heard a crisp 'crunch', and a wrist-thick dead branch was trampled off by the visitor, and the sound of the branch breaking was like a thunderclap in the night, and the footsteps of the person suddenly stopped.

The fourth lady was just about to speak, when she heard this sound, her brows furrowed, and she immediately stretched: "Elder Zhu, there is still something I need to arrange for you." ”

Zhu Ganglie said: "It's late tonight, and I don't dare to bother my wife anymore." ”

The fourth lady immediately said: "In this way, I will not disturb Elder Zhu's rest, and I will arrange for a maid to clean up Elder Zhu's daily life early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhu Ganglie sent the fourth lady outside the house according to the etiquette, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black shadow flashing not far away......

When the happy figure of the fourth lady disappeared from sight, the shallow smile on the corner of Zhu Ganglie's mouth was retracted.

His eyes finally revealed cold thoughts, and he looked up at the sky as if he felt something, only to see that the bright and bright moonlight was covered with a faint layer of blood

The night wind suddenly blew more urgently, Zhu Ganglie shook the snow-white robe on his body, as if he wanted to shake off the cheesy stained on it, then turned around and walked back to the guest house, re-fastened the latch of the guest house, and blew out the candle flame in the guest house.

At the moment when the last glimmer of the extinguished candle flame disappeared, a yellow light seemed to flash in the guest house, and then it fell completely into deathly darkness.
