Chapter 43: The General's Mansion (4)
I didn't think about the two of them anymore, I sorted out my thoughts, it seems that most of my affairs are going to fall in the forbidden land, but before that, Zhang Xiaosheng decided to go to the general's room first, maybe he can gain something.
According to the distribution of living quarters along the way, it seems to be divided into one floor, and the further inside, the more important the people who live there, and it seems that the general's room needs to be further deepened.
Zhang Xiaosheng continued to sneak inside. Finally, he stopped at a tree and looked at a courtyard in front of him.
"It should be here, this is the innermost courtyard, and there are obviously a lot more secret posts nearby, and there are a large number of soldiers patrolling constantly. But what about that?"
Zhang Xiaosheng found that the courtyard was symmetrical, with a courtyard on the left and right sides, and the pattern distribution was completely consistent, which was a little difficult to decide for a while.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xiaosheng still decided to go to the small courtyard on the left hand side first, for no other reason, the lights here have all been extinguished, and it should be easier to explore.
Dodging the surrounding sentry and patrolling soldiers, Zhang Xiaosheng gently approached a house in the courtyard and looked inside by the moonlight.
It appears to be a bedroom, and it should be arranged in a woman's boudoir. Zhang Xiaosheng's gaze swept around, and finally stopped on the bed.
The bright moonlight shines through the window, shining in front of the bed, sprinkling a faint white light, through the light veil like mist, a graceful curve of the body is presented in front of you, with a faint moonlight, with a hint of hazy feeling, it seems to have entered the dream hall, and can't help but want to take a step forward.
"Silk" Zhang Xiaosheng's nose unconsciously touched the window, making a subtle sound.
"Who!" With a coquettish shout, the person on the bed suddenly turned over, and a wisp of strong wind shot out, nailing it to the window where Zhang Xiaosheng was just now.
"There's an Assassin!" the soldiers patrolling around quickly arrived, and immediately rushed into the courtyard, surrounding the surrounding area.
Zhang Xiaosheng knew that something was going to happen, and when the strong wind hit, he had already turned over, rolled into the grass, and used the breathing technique, trying to collect his breath, communicating with the grass, and gradually merging with the grass, looking at the surrounding small courtyard that was surrounded without the slightest gap, he was annoyed in his heart: "Sure enough, there is a knife on the head of the color word! It seems that it is about to be discovered!"
Perhaps God was in a good mood today, but at this moment, a gray lark on the eaves was disturbed, fluttered its wings and hurriedly flew up. Immediately succeeded in attracting everyone's attention.
It seems that eighty percent of the sound was made by this gray lark.
"Miss, are you alright?" said a leader-like figure from among the soldiers.
"Let's go back, it seems to be just a gray lark, maybe I've been too sensitive these days, I'm sorry to disturb everyone!" A crisp female voice came from the room, gentle with a bit of heroism, and weak and resolute, which made people think about it.
"Miss, don't say that, it's our responsibility to protect you, don't you say!" replied the leader.
"Yes!" everyone was very excited, they had long heard that the eldest lady was very kind to her subordinates, and when they saw it recently, they really lived up to their reputation!
"I didn't expect it to be the room of the eldest lady of the martial family, it seems that tonight I really earned it, the beautiful woman is lying down, and the breeze is accompanied by the moon! It's a pity that I only took a look!" Zhang Xiaosheng saw that the danger had passed, and at the same time he was relieved in his heart, but he also felt a little regretful. However, at least it is confirmed that the eldest lady of the martial arts family is not the big man she imagined, judging from her figure, she is either sinking into a fish and a goose, or she is captivating the country and the city.
At this moment, a bearded middle-aged man came out of a lighted room in the courtyard next to him and asked, "What happened?"
The leader of the soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Report to the general, it's okay now, it's a gray lark that has disturbed the eldest lady!"
"It's okay, let the brothers cheer up, there are many guests in the General's Mansion in the past two days, there must be no mistakes!"
"Yes, General, no mistakes are guaranteed!"
"Go ahead, tell the brothers to work hard these days, and everyone will have a reward by then!By the way, has the young lady slept?" Wu Tianfeng asked.
"Is that my father?" said the room again.
"Feng'er, it's okay, you don't have to get up, go to sleep, there are still many things to do tomorrow!" Wu Tianfeng said softly.
"Okay, father, you should rest early, don't be too tired!" With that, the room was quiet again, and then Wu Tianfeng also returned to the room.
After the surroundings quieted down again, Zhang Xiaosheng cautiously poked his head out, glanced at Wu Tianfeng's house next to him, and thoughtfully said: "It seems that it is difficult to gain today, just now it has obviously aroused Wu Tianfeng's vigilance, although he did not show it, if I go rashly, I will definitely fall into the middle." Now, it's better to go to the forbidden place to explore. ”
After what happened just now, the soldiers on patrol were obviously in a lot of spirits, Zhang Xiaosheng carefully bypassed them, and if anything happened again, he had to go back to wash and sleep.
Be careful, Zhang Xiaosheng finally came to the most mysterious place in the General's Mansion, the forbidden place in the mansion.
In front of it was a deep bamboo forest, blocking the moonlight, and there was not the slightest light inside. There is a stone tablet standing on the left, with two big characters on it, "forbidden land", look carefully, and there is a line of small words below "Trespasser death!"
Zhang Xiaosheng looked at the stele, but he didn't enter, it wasn't that the words on it scared Zhang Xiaosheng, but he was observing this bamboo forest, if there was no mechanism here, Zhang Xiaosheng would not believe it, not to mention, Zhang Xiaosheng seemed to feel a faint aura fluctuation, but it was a little weird, biased towards darkness, which made people very uncomfortable. Could it be that there are also cultivators in it?
"Where is the entrance?" Looking around, Zhang Xiaosheng didn't find anything.
"It looks like we have to enter the forest!" Zhang Xiaosheng slowly walked towards the forest. Use the mutated internal force to make your body float slightly upwards so as not to trigger the mechanism on the ground. At the same time, a trace of mutated internal force was emitted and wrapped around the bamboo.
However, the information transmitted back from the bamboo was a bit peculiar, very messy, without the slightest pattern to speak of, and it was completely different from the usual situation, as if they had been disturbed by some kind and were sick.
At this time, Zhang Xiaosheng also found that the bamboo here was a little different, looking at its shape and leaves, it should be a very popular star-spotted bamboo among the nobles of the Heiyao Empire. The normal star-spotted bamboo should have dark green leaves, and the bamboo body has star-like spots, which will emit a brilliant glow under the moonlight, like stars falling to the ground, so it is also called silver star fall. Now it is the moonlight, but the bamboo body is pitch black, the spots on it are also dim and dim, there is no sense of stars falling to the ground, and the leaves are also gray-brown, so that there is no moonlight in the bamboo forest. Could it be that the soil here is different from the climate, and it has changed?
Zhang Xiaosheng squatted down, gently pinched a handful of soil, and sniffed it in front of his nose. With a faint smell of medicinal herbs, and at the same time, there was a hint of cold feeling in his hands, which felt like the kind of very strange spiritual power that he felt when he was outside the bamboo forest.
Zhang Xiaosheng put down the "soil" in his hand, his eyes swept to the depths of the bamboo forest, and a magnificent spring water came into view, the water was actually black, and there was a trace of white mist, and there was something in the water, it seemed to be the black water ghost lotus, there was such a treasure here! Zhang Xiaosheng was unconsciously attracted and walked forward.
"That's not right!" Suddenly, a cool air surged up in the dantian, Zhang Xiaosheng suddenly sobered up, dangerous and dangerous, stopped the footsteps that had just taken half a step and had not yet taken a solid footstep, and looked forward again, what spring water was in front of him, not to mention what black water netherworld lotus, there was only a more dark bamboo forest.
Looking back at his feet, he secretly said that it was dangerous......
