"Report, a secret passage was found in a courtyard house behind!"
After hearing the news, Guan Fangyi, who could not speak, felt her heart tighten, and her heart was really in her throat.
"Secret passage?" Concubine Yuan's tone changed slightly, she looked back at Guan Fangyi, then stepped forward, "Lead the way, go and have a look."
The reporter immediately led the way, and several people followed Concubine Yuan at the same time.
The group arrived at the entrance of the secret passage. Some people released the moon butterfly illumination and got into the secret passage one after another. Others quickly dodged and rushed forward to clear the way.
After meeting the people from before, the group had already appeared in the room at the other exit.
Concubine Yuan walked out of the room and took a look, and found that she was still in the thatched cottage courtyard, and there were also a group of people here who were searching.
This is also expected. The length of the secret passage is not long. Concubine Yuan suddenly said: "Ask, who lives in the rooms at both ends of the secret passage."
"Yes!" Someone immediately took the order and left.
Not long after, he quickly came back and reported, "I asked, it's the residence of Matchmaker Qi Jing and Yun Ji of Duyun Mountain."
"Them?" Concubine Yuan paused, then suddenly turned around, returned to the house, and stared at the entrance of the secret passage, "It's such a short distance, and it's only a few steps away from the door. What do these two women have to do to be shady? They need to be deliberate. Dig a tunnel to come out? Those who go in, ask a few more people to go in, and check this tunnel carefully for me."
"Yes!" Someone immediately took the order and got into the secret passage again.
As she said, the distance of the tunnel was not long. A dozen people entered at once to cast spells and conduct detailed inspections, and the results were quickly obtained.
As soon as the results came out, someone immediately ran out of the secret tunnel and reported: "Report! A series of secret rooms covering a large area were found in the tunnel."
Sure enough, it is famous! Without saying a word, Concubine Yuan got into the tunnel again and saw an overturned wall in the middle of the tunnel, which was another secret entrance.
After entering, I found a straight passage inside. There were several rooms on the left and right sides of the passage. There were also some furniture and furnishings in the room. The people who arrived first were rummaging through the boxes and cabinets.
The secret room where Niu Youdao is located is obviously the center of the entire underground. It can be seen from the furnishings that Concubine Yuan is standing here and looking around.
The search results came out quickly. No one was found, and no other secret rooms or passages were found. There were only five rooms. Judging from the clothes left behind, there seemed to be signs that two men and three women had lived there.
Concubine Yuan said calmly: "Bring that matchmaker Qi Jing over."
Someone immediately followed the order, hurried to the front yard, and brought Guan Fangyi over.
At this time, Guan Fangyi calmed down, because after such a long time, no fighting was heard, and it was impossible for Master Dao and the others to just sit back and die.
After entering the secret room and seeing the situation inside the secret room, especially when she saw that the holy map among the maps on the wall was gone, she became more and more aware of it and ran away. Master Dao and the others had already run away.
I was relieved in my heart, and had to sigh secretly, the Taoist was the Taoist, and he was able to escape without being noticed when no one informed him.
Concubine Yuan took action to untie her dumb hole, "Explain what is going on in these secret rooms."
Guan Fangyi: "This is a place used to discuss secret matters."
Concubine Yuan: "Who will come here to discuss?"
Guan Fangyi: "That's not necessarily true. It depends on the matter. Who among all the forces in the world can discuss it secretly... Who are you? As far as I know, Piao Miao Pavilion will not easily interfere in the affairs of various places."
Concubine Yuan ignored it, "What am I asking? You'd better answer honestly, otherwise you'll be in trouble with yourself. Where is the snake demon in Duyun Mountain? Why is her room empty?"
Guan Fangyi was silent, secretly observing the situation in the secret room, being cautious in her heart, and replied: "I'm going to Duyun Mountain."
Concubine Yuan: "When did you leave and when will you come back?"
Guan Fangyi: "I just left today and my return date is uncertain. It depends on the situation over at Duyun Mountain..."
No matter how she asked, she could handle it appropriately, and then she gradually noticed something. It didn't seem like these people were here for anything, because they didn't seem to have any deliberate target, and judging from the search results, they didn't seem to know anything. Why come here specifically for Master Dao and the others
This also made her feel more and more strange. If she didn't come for anything, why did she come here to search
Later, she saw the side door of the thatched cottage open wide, and a carriage came in. A rich, fat man who seemed amiable and cheerful got out of the carriage.
All visitors to Piaomiao Pavilion were very respectful when they saw this big fat man, and even showed a bit of fear.
A group of Piaomiao Pavilion personnel all called the fat man sir, and the woman wearing a gauze hat called aunt.
Later, someone brought the shopkeeper of Tianxia Bank in Fucheng, Nanzhou, to see Guan Fangyi. The main purpose was to tell Guan Fangyi that there was no need to doubt the identity of the visitors. They were indeed from Piaomiao Pavilion. Let Guan Fangyi We must cooperate fully...
In the mountains outside the city, Yuan Gang was on guard and observing on the nearby hills, while Yun Ji left to do some business.
Looking at the location on the top of the mountain where Yuan Gang was hiding, Niu Youdao turned to look at Lu Wushuang who was sitting on the stone by the stream, and suddenly asked: "Are you used to being with monkeys?"
Lu Wushuang stared at the stream without looking back, "Do you think he can get used to it? I ran to report to him, but before I could speak, he grabbed his neck mercilessly and dragged me directly in front of you. I I can guarantee that if I dared to scream before, he would have strangled my neck without any hesitation."
Niu Youdao: "He can't show up in the other courtyard now. When he could show up before, the entire other courtyard, except me, including Hong Niang and Yun Ji, was under his surveillance. It has nothing to do with trust or not. It’s not that he likes to doubt people, but as long as it’s within his responsibilities, he will try his best to do it well.”
Lu Wushuang turned around and said, "There is no need to explain anything. I can understand that it is normal for him not to trust me. It's just that I lost control of my emotions because of his sudden attack. Did you think it was a joke?"
Niu Youdao smiled, "That's a good thing. At least for a moment, you didn't look like an unparalleled saint, but more like a woman of flesh and blood."
When people from outside the mountain came, a figure fell beside them, it was Yun Ji.
Niu Youdao immediately turned around and asked, "How was your visit to the city?"
Yun Ji: "Go through the door. The guard is one of ours. It doesn't look like there is anything unusual, but there is someone wandering inside the door who is not one of ours."
"Outsiders? It seems that something has indeed happened. The gatekeeper is fine, but are there outsiders inside?" Niu Youdao frowned, a little confused about the situation, and muttered to himself, "What's going on?"
Lu Wushuang on the side suddenly said: "Are there any signs of fighting?"
Yun Ji: "It doesn't seem like that."
Lu Wushuang: "When we left, there seemed to be no fighting. If someone really broke in, who could prevent the matchmaker from calling the police and make the entire other courtyard so quiet? With so many people on guard in the entire courtyard Now, it’s impossible for someone to break in in broad daylight without being noticed, and it’s also impossible for someone to be able to control such a person at the same time.”
Niu Youdao frowned, "Do you suspect he is from Piaomiao Pavilion?"
Lu Wushuang nodded slightly.
The scene was slightly silent.
Yun Ji: "We left in a hurry, and Jin Yi, who is responsible for confidential contact, couldn't bring us out in time. Do you want me to sneak in and have a look? Or I can go to the palace to check the situation."
Niu Youdao: "Now is not the time for you, an expert in art, to be bold. If you don't understand the situation and the distribution of people on the ground, your mana fluctuations close to the ground will be easily discovered. There is no harm in being cautious. In this way, you disguise yourself and enter the city, Go to Niushan in the wind, forest, mountain, and fire. He is now in charge of city defense. You ask him to find an excuse to report the situation and enter the palace to see if there is anything abnormal in the palace. If there is nothing, ask Niushan to help you contact Lan Ruoting, give Lan Ruoting an excuse to go to the other courtyard to see what’s going on.”
"Remember, if there is an emergency, try to take Yin'er away first if it is safe and bring him back if he faints. At this point, Yin'er and the princess should be at the school. Don't forget to tell the princess. . As long as the risk factor of Yin'er is eliminated, the situation will not worsen for the time being, and the lives of other people should not be in danger for the time being. As long as they come for us, the other party will not kill the matchmaker and the others for the time being. This can buy time. Let us figure out the situation and rescue them."
"Okay!" Yun Ji nodded in agreement and left quickly. It was convenient for her to enter and exit the city.
…
In the kitchen of Nanshan Temple in the Thatched Cottage, a group of monks were busy cooking. Yuan Fang, who was supervising the work, glanced outside the door from time to time.
He was a little confused. He didn't know why the people from Piaomiao Pavilion came suddenly. It wasn't even dinner time yet, but they were actually asked to cook and prepare the table. What the hell was going on
There was no one else in the main hall of Wuliang Mountain, only Concubine Yuan and Gongsun Bu.
It was said that he was asking questions one by one, but Gongsun Bu didn't know what the visitor wanted to ask. He couldn't see his face clearly because he was wearing a gauze hat.
"You are the head of Wuliang Mountain, what is your name?" Concubine Yuan suddenly asked.
Gongsun Bu said respectfully: "Gongsun Bu."
Concubine Yuan: "I don't remember your name, but I do remember your identity. Do you know why I'm looking for you?"
Gongsun Bu: "I don't know."
Concubine Yuan: "Is it necessary to pretend to be confused in front of me? Let me remind you that you should know by now that I am from Piao Miao Pavilion."
Gongsun Bu's heart was ups and downs, and he tried to reply: "Please make it clear."
Concubine Yuan: "Explicitly? You are from my Miao Miao Pavilion, do you still need me to speak so clearly?" She walked up to the other party and said, "You should be familiar with the people and things in the thatched cottage. From now on, you Remember, use your identity to pay attention to everything in this thatched cottage, and if you find anything unusual, report it to me immediately!"
…
In front of the gate of the thatched cottage, Lan Ruoting got into the carriage. After the carriage started, he whispered to Yun Ji in disguise: "Something's wrong. The guard at the door won't let me in. What happened?"
Yunji followed Niu Youdao's instructions and contacted Niushan, but Lan Ruoting was not in the palace and went to the office below to handle official business, and she contacted Niushan after many twists and turns. After meeting Yun Ji, Lan Ruoting didn't waste any time and immediately rushed to the thatched cottage. Unexpectedly, he was stopped and not even allowed to enter.
Yun Ji didn't say anything, and whispered: "Excuse me, sir, please go back to the palace again. If nothing unusual is found, use this carriage to send the princess and Yin'er out."
Lan Ruoting nodded, but realized in his heart that something must have happened, otherwise he would not be able to enter the Thatched Cottage, and this person would not even dare to go back to the Thatched Cottage, so he could not help but feel secretly worried.
As everyone knows, just because she wasted time looking for Lan Ruoting, the students in the school had finished school at this time, and Shang Shuqing was holding Yin'er's hand and walking together towards the back door of the thatched cottage.
