155. Night Sneak

The plan to land from Bohai was going smoothly and did not cause any trouble - the only wave came from my heart.

I have thought countless times that one day I will definitely return here - this land of my hometown, but I didn't expect to come back in this way.

It was late autumn, and it was drizzling, sprinkling finely on your body, soaking in the cool air. Looking at the pedestrians around you from the carriage, I always felt that in this autumn rain, everyone's expression seemed to be not very real, as if they were wearing a veil.

We divided into three cars and headed to the northwest - leaving some people behind to continue trading in the Bohai Sea, while I rushed to the capital with the most elite people at full speed.

I traveled day and night all the way, and finally rushed into the city before the east gate of the capital fell to the lock the next night.

After entering the city, we found Mo who came early and led us to a small courtyard in Bada Hutong. This was also a secret stronghold we bought before, and no one knew more than one hand. So despite being betrayed by Murong Qin, it was still safe here.

The reason why I bought a house here was actually considered - the Eight Hutongs gradually became a scale in the Ming Dynasty, and reached its peak of prosperity during the Qing Dynasty. It was a place with quite "content".

The eight hutongs generally refer to the eight hutongs, including Shaanxi Lane, Baishun Hutong, Shitou Hutong, Hanjiatan, Wang Guangfu Xiejie, Yanzhi Hutong, Wailangying, and Pitiaoying. In the Republic of China and before, they were famous places of elegance and mist in the capital.

Before the Republic of China, the romantic places here were divided into four levels, and there were seventy or eighty registered "regular businessmen", which was really quite large.

Among the four levels, the first one is called "Qingyin Xiaoban", which is the first of the fourth level. The fireworks women here are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and recite poems and writing pairs. The people who come are all famous gentry, powerful and wealthy businessmen. Qingyuanchun, located in Hanjiatan Hutong, was the leader of the "Qingyin Xiaoban" at that time.

The second-class person is called "tea house", which is also a relatively elegant place for romantic affairs. Generally, people who play plots come here. Those who only want to get to the right place in one step, but choose to go to the next two levels of places.

The third-class "lower" has relatively simple decoration and function. The fireworks women are relatively old and have average appearance. Of course, the "service fee" is relatively economical.

As for the lowest level, it is commonly known as "Kiln". The house is extremely simple. To put it bluntly, it is just a bed. Most of the people who come here are porters, motels and coolies. Everyone has no way of communicating. They pay money and deliver goods at the same time. They work hard and make a living by their ability. No one will look down on anyone.

So, choosing here is to look at this point: the people are mixed and the ingredients are mottled. In these eight major hutongs, you can find people from any level or any industry. So choosing here as a hidden place is the most suitable!

After all, there is no deep hatred. Who is the one who is working on the job and has nothing to do and comes here to catch people? Maybe when you push the door, the people in the room are very familiar, but they are not wearing clothes! I am afraid that if you are unlucky, you will lose your job when you go back this time, so most officials and officials turn a blind eye to these eight great alleys.

After eating some things, I sat in the small compartment and gently wiped the light-swallowing sword. Since I got the set of martial arts equipment and martial arts skills, I have been practicing hard! During this period, I felt that I had sorted out a simple vein.

The psychic skills and the Cold Crystal skills taught by the Third Uncle are more like basic skills, in other words, the foundation. On this basis, you can build other skills.

The Shenyue Sword Technique and the Shadow Following Body Technique are moves that are completely based on other basic exercises. To put it bluntly, they are the basics of what the Third Uncle taught me. With the previous foundation, I learned new exercises twice the result with half the effort, and often I feel that it will be natural.

And I thought to myself that today is the female warfare when this technique returns to the world!

As night falls, the eight great alleys are even more lit, singing and dancing, and the sounds are heard. The girls get up and go to work, and it’s time for us to go out!

It is still a trio of me, Jiugui Masayoshi and Mo. The place I am going to today is definitely not casual, so I am still dispatching the most elite force.

Because what I am going to today is Murong Qin's home, the Murong family compound. I must find out what they want to do? And find a chance to return the gift.

Walking through the night, for about forty minutes, Mo stopped and we had arrived outside a large mansion located outside Caishikou, beside the Liangshui River.

I recalled the floor plan Mo showed me in the afternoon - it was the result of his previous quest. This courtyard is divided into one main courtyard, four separate courtyards, the main courtyard is in the middle, and the other courtyards are located in the east, west, south and north. The edges and corners of the courtyard are soft. It is estimated that the design creativity is a blooming flower, but when I look at it, it looks like a grave that lives together with old and young people!

The main courtyard is home to the top leaders of the Murong family, with the most close defense. In the four courtyards, the south courtyard is the most respected, and the young talents of the Murong family live. In the north courtyard, the north courtyard is home to the women of the Murong family.

The east courtyard is a guest room and is well-tied; the west courtyard is the residence of the servants, so it is also the most simple and crude.

Before I came, I had already decided on a plan, and we had to go to two places - one is the main courtyard and the other is the west courtyard.

To put it bluntly, if you want to get information, you must go to the main courtyard and listen to what the leaders say. If you want to get a loophole, you must go to the Western courtyard and listen to what the servants are worried about.

We climbed into the wall from the east side of the yard. The whole yard was quiet without a trace of light. It seemed that there were no guests in the East Courtyard today, and the reception task was zero.

After passing the corridor, we slowly touched the main courtyard, but we heard a clearer and clearer conversation - the small building in the center of the courtyard, where the lights were on on the third floor.

And I suddenly realized that the surroundings began to change the unprepared posture of the East Court just now, and the defense became quite strict!

Around the small building, the guards almost formed a circle! It is not an exaggeration to call it shoulder to shoulder!

What exactly are you doing inside? Who are there? I suddenly had a premonition in my heart that I was going to catch a big fish today!

But before catching fish, how to get close to this small building became the biggest problem.

I leaned on the top of the inner wall and quietly observed the movements of the guards. Although these people were numerous, it was obvious that they were divided into two distinct factions!

The group with a large number of people seems to be weaker in momentum, stand tighter in people, more restrained in expression, and looks basically the same as the servants in the yard. It seems that they should be insiders of the Murong family.

The other group has obviously fewer people, but they are very grand. They wear tight blue clothes and look very domineering!

This domineeringness is a kind of expression from the heart and from the inside out. Everyone in this team gives people this feeling. To describe it specifically, it is like a feeling and temperament that has been accustomed to being domineering for a long time.

This is different from the domineering a person in society who is shirtless, with a crab tattoo on his back, and a cigarette and talking on his nose. He is a little hooligan, and this is the real black club!

If you look closely, there seems to be an acquaintance in the middle - what is the name of the guy who made a big fuss in Qingyu Pavilion last time? It is said that he was exiled, why is he still here? It seems that these people should be from the Jinyiwei? The ones who meet here secretly today are the Murong family and the Jinyiwei?

It seems that no matter what, I have to touch it and listen! I made up my mind secretly. But how to get over it? In addition to courage, what I need at this time is a solution!

I quietly observed the movements of the opposite side, as if...they were not so tacitly in agreement, but more like there was a rift! In addition to the clear position, their momentum and attitude were also incompatible!

There must be a chance! I watched their movements and suddenly had an idea!

I asked Jiugui Zhengxiao to come over and said a few words softly. Jiugui Zhengxiao nodded and quietly climbed to the other side!

The two teams cooperated with each other and were on guard against each other. Suddenly, a Murong family guard standing in the front felt a slight pain in his face! It seemed that something was slapped in the face!

He raised his hand and touched his face, and there was nothing, so he looked around strangely! Perhaps because his expression was too funny, it attracted a few Jinyiwei who witnessed his expression to laugh softly.

The guard thought to himself that it must be the ones who made trouble for these guys! These damn Jinyiwei are usually arrogant and look down on others! They said it was a meeting, but in such a serious occasion, they came to bully people like this!

He glared at the other side, and first smiled, then got annoyed by the sight, and immediately glared back! The guard thought to himself, forget it, if you can, you can tolerate small things! Don't delay the big things. So he turned around and stopped looking at the Jinyiwei.

But he didn't turn around for long, and suddenly his head hurt slightly again! It was obvious that someone hit him with a stone!

The guard could no longer bear it. He covered his head with his hands and turned around angrily, pointed at the Jinyiwei and shouted: "What are you doing?"

His voice shocked everyone around him! Suddenly, the leader of an Jinyiwei shouted: "What are you calling out? Be careful to disturb the noble man!"

However, the guard was unyielding and was used to being arrogant on weekdays. He couldn't stand this tone after being provoked again and again!

So he shouted angrily: "Ask you guys! They hit me with stones!"

The leader of the Jinyiwei frowned, turned around and asked a few words in a low voice, then turned around and replied, "This friend, you must have misunderstood. Our people did not do such nonsense!"

The guard endured it several times, but he was still angry. He glared at the Jinyiwei opposite him and cursed. Although both sides were allies, neither of them wanted to lose his momentum, so the crowd began to gather here!

I don’t know who was among the Jinyiwei whispering: “If you don’t say you didn’t hit you, so what if you hit me?” His tone was full of disdain.

The leader of the Jinyiwei obviously heard it, but he did not stop it. Obviously, he thought so. The guards suddenly became more excited and started arguing together! Judging from the situation, they were about to take action if they had a disagreement!

After arguing for a while, the big man upstairs was alarmed, he poked his head out of the window, scolded him loudly, and the two below separated in anger.

When they returned to their original position and filled the void just now, I had already crossed their defense line and sneaked into the roof of the third floor! I made a gesture to the Jiugui Masayoshi and Mo below, signaling them to hide, and I gently lay on the tiles on the roof.

After listening for a while, I was still returning to my seat in a mess, so I held my breath and moved a little apart a little, revealing the scene in the room!

After watching the situation by the window, several people in the room returned to the table. I glanced at it and found that there were six people in total, four of them I didn’t know, but I accidentally discovered two “acquaintances”!

One is Murong Qin, whom I "think about day and night". This little woman hasn't seen her for a while and seems to have a more queenly temperament! She sits there calmly and is quite energetic!

Another one is Yan Xufeng, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei who once brought people to help me! I didn’t expect that he is here today!

These six people sat in three or three, and it seemed that they belonged to the Murong family and the Jinyiwei. The four people except Murong Qin and Yan Xufeng were not young, and they were probably all senior leaders of the two sides, at least they were representatives of this meeting!

It’s good that you’re all here! I thought to myself that I have to go to two places to save myself! Let me hear what you want to do when you gather together so divinely?
