Chris asked, "Where's the Burning Oil?"

Jian Yan's gloomy face tightened again when he heard this, and it was even more unsightly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chris said in his heart: Well, it seems that the weapon of mass destruction has not been found! Looking at his face, I am afraid that whatever I say now will become schadenfreude. She hurriedly said, "Then let's check again!"

The sword fell and didn't stop her.

Chris looked back, Jian Xi and Huangfu Wuya didn't know what they were talking about, and it seemed that they couldn't care about themselves.

When he entered the house, a musty and damp smell came in, and Chris was so choked that he quickly covered his mouth and nose.

They walked through the antechamber to the railing of the staircase, where two catchers were coming down the stairs with a corpse, and Chris and Xiong Daiying let them pass first, and just as they were about to go upstairs, two more catchers were carrying a corpse up from the basement.

Chris glanced at the corpse and turned to go upstairs, when suddenly she heard a slight whimper, barely audible without careful listening.

Obviously, Xiong Daiying also heard it, and he gently reminded the catchers: "Someone is not dead!"

One of the catchers immediately stepped forward to check the pulse of the two corpses, and sure enough, one of them was not dead, and there was a faint breath. They hurriedly carried the man to the door, and as they went, they said, "My lord, there is a living one!"

The submarine fire army is here, naturally there are military doctors, and Huangfu Wuya said loudly: "Go and ask Doctor Yan!"

Next was the roar of the sword shop: "Give the master a bright spot, search carefully!"

Chris thought for a moment and pulled Xiong Daiying towards the upper floor.

Standing on the patio, her eyes swept up and down. Trying to sketch out the floor plan of the house in her mind, she had a new idea for the layout of the house. I heard Qin Yujiu say that this skillful old man's surname is Qiao, his ancestral home is Qiao Village, he is a good friend of his father, and his relationship with the Flying Pirate Club is extraordinary. He was a skilled craftsman who crafted all kinds of intricate mechanisms.

The thieves who coveted the "holy book" of the Flying Thieves Club were afraid of the mechanisms in this big house, and although they were itchy and unbearable, they did not dare to break in rashly. And Feiying is the most cunning and insidious, he persuaded several masters to join forces to break in, and in the end, he fought a few dead and wounded, so he killed Old Man Qiao and took away the holy book.

Chris said in his heart: Since this old man is good at using the mechanism, there must be some attention in this house. But if I looked up and down, there was no place to set up a mechanism in the big house! Or was there a place, but it was later demolished? Or were all of them destroyed by the intrusive flying thieves? No, even if there seemed to be some places in the house that could be equipped with mechanisms, they still had to be limited by the pattern, and at most they should put some small mechanisms, and if they wanted to stop the skilled flying thieves, they were afraid that they had to have a "big killing weapon"!

Chris's mind kept spinning. Although she didn't really learn from a teacher, she followed the two major organ masters in the world and was exposed to it every day, which made her understand the art of the machine to a higher level. In addition, she has recently repaired houses and built houses, and she has also read a lot of drawings brought by Zhang Ruoshui, so she also has a certain understanding of the common architectural patterns of the Song Dynasty.

As soon as she entered the big house, she was actually looking for mezzanines, secret doors and the like. Because according to what Qin Yujiu said, there is a big battle between the people of the Flying Thieves Association and the skillful old man and the mechanism he built, so naturally a certain amount of space and depth is required. It seemed unlikely that there would be one upstairs, so she went back to the first floor the way she came.

The sword shop had already returned to the front hall, waiting for his men to bring the hounds up from the rear and let them search for the smell of fire oil.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Chris coming down from the upper floors and going straight into the cellar, Jian Yan raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart: This stinky boy is eccentric, he looks around so carefully, maybe he will find something.

After thinking about it, Jian Shi followed.

The cellar was even colder and damp, but Chris felt his mind clearer by the chill. She followed her instincts, a half-hidden door allowing the light to shine through.

Chris was about to push the door, but Xiong Daiying stopped first and said, "I'll go ahead." ”

She nodded.

Xiong Daiying pushed open the door and cautiously poked in.

There was a corpse lying on the ground, its head buried in a wide straw mat, two stiff hands held together over the unseen head.

It seems that this is a warehouse for storing forage, and there is a torch on the wall, looking at the style of Kaifeng Mansion, which should be plugged in quickly, waiting for a while to collect the corpse.

Under the light of the fire, the miserable picture in front of him was cast a sad color. I don't know why, Chris felt bad in his heart, and asked: "Dai Ying, is it that the shadow guard is also like these dead soldiers, as long as the mission fails, he will die, and he will not spare his life at all?"

Xiong Daiying was slightly stunned, isn't this obvious? They have been cultivated like this since childhood, and they know that this is their own destiny. But looking at the master's sadness, the answer that should have been quickly spit out of his mouth was stuck in his throat. Xiong Daiying adjusted, but still spat out incoherent words, "This is the ...... We ......"

Chris interrupted him: "Don't say that. You have to promise me that if you don't protect me, or if you fail in other missions, you will never kill yourself, and you will never give up your life easily. ”

After a while, Xiong Daiying replied with one word: "Okay!"

Jian Yan stood outside the door and heard this conversation, and he didn't know what his mood was, so he always felt weird, so he didn't push the door in.

Chris looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "Forget it, let's help move this corpse out first." ”

Jian Shi said secretly: Stinky boy, you finally do something serious!

Chris wanted to drag the man's legs, but the corpse seemed to weigh twice as much as a living person, and she felt a little struggling, so she had to switch places with Xiong Daiying. Who knew that after such a drag, the grass mat under the corpse rubbed off a little.

Chris suddenly saw something and shouted, "Wait, help me get out of his way, there seems to be something under the straw mat!"

Xiong Daiying pulled the body aside, and Chris lifted the straw mat and pulled away the weeds scattered on the ground, revealing large wooden floors on the floor. Chris was suspicious when he noticed that the texture of the floors was very new, apparently freshly replaced. She quickly pulled out the special knife from her waist, lay on the ground, turned it upside down, and struck the floor with the hilt.

"Knock knock!" continued to move two steps forward, "Knock knock...... Knock knock!" ended with two "bangs".

"It's empty!"

Chris felt the ground and looked through the light of the torches, and saw that the gap around the floor was larger than the others.

She thrust the tip of her knife into the gap in the plank, and with a sharp prie, the floor was pried up, revealing a dark hole.

Chris shouted happily: "Dai Ying, bring the torch on the wall!"

Xiong Daiying reached into the torch, and the light of the fire illuminated the dim underground, which was a passage made of square stone slabs.

Chris said with indescribable joy: "I really found the mezzanine, and the next time I see Brother Teng, I will have the capital to brag with him!"

Just as she was prying open the plank, the sword shop had already walked in.

Xiong Daiying suddenly noticed that there was someone behind him, turned around vigilantly, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Lord Shenzhu.

Chris didn't look back, she looked into the hole and said, "I'll go in first!"

Without waiting for Xiong Daiying to speak, she jumped down.

"Wait!" Xiong Daiying turned to stop her.

Suddenly, Xiong Daiying and Jian Yan felt a powerful internal force attacking from the side, and the two of them felt a pang in their hearts, and they couldn't help but condense their luck to resist, but who knew that the internal breath was close to the back of Chris, who jumped into the ground.

The two figures jumped up almost at the same time, Xiong Daiying tried his best to use his body to help Chris stop this move, and Jian Shi slammed into the enemy who made the move.

The visitor snorted softly, and there was a muffled sound where the two palms touched, and the real qi was loud, echoing between the walls, and the hay on the ground flew in all directions, and it was chaotic.

Jian Yan was taken aback, this voice was very familiar to him, and he couldn't help but shout in his heart: Chu Yi!

The powerful force that hit Chris, despite being blocked by Xiong Daiying, still rushed towards the hole. Xiong Daiying was shocked to find that his body was not injured, this soft ball of true qi just wrapped around him and pulled upward.

This force also pulled Chris back as she was about to jump into the hole, and she was startled, and the torch in her hand flew out of her hand, and her body flew diagonally from the hole. Her mind was spinning, and she hurriedly took mayfly steps, kicked slightly under her feet, and lifted her inner breath with the help of her strength, and her body was like hay that had been picked up, floating in the air, turning lightly in the air for half a circle, and gently falling to the ground. Although Chris reacted quickly, he was also a little pale with fright. But in the eyes of others, her strange posture and graceful posture these few times, coupled with her flying hat and belt, fluttering clothes, and the firelight reflecting her exquisite face, made people feel shocked.

The torch that came out flew straight towards the straw mat. The sword was quick and fast, and he took it in his hand with a wrong step.

Xiong Daiying landed and stood beside Chris, and when he looked again, there was already a gray-robed man in the cellar, looking at them calmly.

Chris looked up, but was stunned. She couldn't believe that the gray-robed man who appeared in front of her was the eldest brother Chu she met when she first left the palace. A few days ago, when Jian Yi talked to him about the old things in Nanjiang, he still thought of him, his flowing hair, his majestic body, and his free and easy skills......

She was stunned on the side, Jian Xi and Chu Yi glanced at each other, neither dared to speak first, and the two of them hesitated how to break the silence.

Jian Yan was surprised, and a question was circling in his mind, why did Chu Yu appear here? Because of his status as an official of the imperial court, he didn't dare to let Lan Yuanxiao and the others know their relationship with Chu Zhen, and they didn't dare to, let alone recognize each other.

Chu Zhen's mood was more complicated than that of Jian Yan. In the middle of the night, Chu Zhen received a report from his subordinates, saying that Lord Shenzhu and Lan Yuanxiao secretly went out of the Jiaomen camp with a team of sergeants, as if they were going to take some action. He rushed alone, secretly following behind, wanting to see what the sword was going to do. Out of Fengqiu Gate, the farther north he went, the more uneasy his heart became. This is obviously the way to Qiao Village, could it be that Jian Shi is going to the big house of the old man who used to be skillful? What did he find? Chu Hui never thought that he would be confronted by Jian Shi so soon, if he really found out something related to the holy book, should I make a move? For a while, Chu Hui felt a dilemma in his heart.

Seeing that the sword ordered people to surround the Qiao family's mansion, Chu Zhen was even more suspicious in his heart, in order to track down the whereabouts of the holy book, he had been to this mansion not ten times, but also eight times. He had personally inspected it, and he had also asked his subordinates who knew how to build structures and traps to carefully inspect the big house. When he came to Beijing this time, he once again asked people to search the inside and outside of the big house, but they still didn't find any clues, and that was only two or three months ago. He thought that if the Ming Sect couldn't find it, even the Divine Sword Hunt wouldn't be able to find anything.

Later, there was a fight in the house, and Chu Zhen took advantage of the chaos to get involved, only to find that the sword was chasing a group of unidentified dead soldiers. I also heard the conversation of the catchers in the dark, as if they were investigating the arson, and it had nothing to do with the Demon Cult Holy Book. In this way, Chu Yi couldn't help but put his mind at ease, it seems that there is nothing to do tonight, it is better to choose another day to meet directly with Jian Xian, and then ask clearly.

As soon as he appeared at this time, from the surprised expression of Jian Shi, Chu Yi confirmed again that Jian Shi brought people to appear in the Qiao family's mansion today, not for the Demon Sect Holy Book!

The room was eerily quiet, and several people had their own thoughts, as if someone had stretched out his finger in the dark, pressed it to their lips, and ordered them not to speak.

Finally, Chris spoke first.

"Brother Chu, why are you?" she asked softly.

Brother Chu?Jian Yan frowned, looked at Chris with puzzled eyes, and asked, "You know?"

"We drank together in Fan Lou! Although we were on the same page, we talked very speculatively!" Chris said with a smile, "but I only know the eldest brother's surname Chu, but I don't know his name." ”

Seeing that Lan Yuanxiao said this, Chu Zhen also made a decision in his heart. He stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, and said lightly: "Chu Xuan, the left envoy of the Xia Ming Sect!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiong Daiying and Jian Yan both lost their color, especially Xiong Daiying, whose muscles were tense all over his body, and he almost immediately jumped over to protect Chris, but was stopped by Jian Yan with his strong eyes.

Chu Yi didn't seem to see it, and said calmly: "I didn't show my identity as a brother last time, I hope Brother Xian will forgive me!"

A haze flashed in Chu Yu's eyes, and he quickly lowered his eyebrows, but then stared at Lan Yuanxiao's face. This slight change in expression did not escape the eyes of Jian Shi.

Jian Yan couldn't understand Chu Zhen's expression, and it was even more as if he didn't know his old friend. Since they met in Pingshui and were friends with wine and meat, they didn't even tell their names last time, but why did they report their names now? As far as he knew, Chu Yi would never easily reveal his identity in front of others.

Jian Shi guessed like this, but Chu Hui had his own thoughts, he felt that since he had to ask Lan Yuanxiao about the holy book sooner or later, it was better to show his identity at this time, and it would be inferior to hide it.
