The sound of iron cannons resounded like thunder throughout the city of Guangzhou, and a pindrop could be heard in the mansion. A middle-aged man with a rough appearance was pacing back and forth restlessly in the house, looking up from time to time into the endless night of rain and ringing.

The shadows of the trees outside the window were mottled and swaying. He waited patiently but still did not receive the good news from outside. Therefore, the continuous rain and the abnormal undulating noise gradually turned into a heavy blow in his heart.

"Young Master Hong, I, Mr. Lei, feel uneasy. I'm afraid something will happen again today..."

Lei Laohu was wearing dark silk clothes and was holding his thumb tightly on the tapir-patterned begonia-shaped gold belt buckle at his waist. He turned around and wandered twice before turning to Hong Wending and said to Hong Wending - after all, the scene in front of him and the tense atmosphere were making him use it all the time.

He thought about the old things in Xiamei Town, and when he thought about it carefully, he felt a coldness on the back of his neck.

There was no one else in the lobby at this time. Many of the servants of the Lei Mansion had been driven back home early. Now only Lei Hu, the old housekeeper and three disciples of the Wuyi Sect were left in the whole mansion. This also made the originally too spacious and luxurious hall.

The mansion seemed particularly cold and distant at this moment.

"It's okay, Uncle Lei. Master said that as long as you stay in the house tonight and don't go out, everything will be solved when he comes back."

Fu Ningdie was particularly relieved as she swayed her legs while eating, and even took the initiative to comfort Lei Hu. Then she counted her fingers boredly, just waiting for the late night drip to drain away.

Lei Hu looked at the little girl in front of him with some relief. He was about to show a smile, but then it turned into a sad look and he was thinking about more things.

"That's true. I also trust Director Jiang's ability, but I always feel that something is wrong. How about we hide in advance?"

Lei Hu, who had completely transformed into a defeatist counselor, turned to his housekeeper and said, "Now that so many people are gathering together, it's like putting eggs in a basket. The more I think about it, the more I feel it's wrong. I told you to dig it out before.

Are the tunnels ready?"

The housekeeper said solemnly: "Master Qi, the tunnel has almost been dug. I just follow your instructions so as not to disturb others, and the workers cannot know the purpose, so the progress has been very slow..."

The housekeeper said that he was also very aggrieved. He didn't know what illness his old employer had committed. He had to dig an unknown tunnel to the outside of the house, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy today.

Because Lei Huhu deliberately ordered that even the workers should hide the construction intention, the old housekeeper could only purchase a series of private houses in advance, dig cellars, and then find reliable people to connect the cellars together, slowly like this

Excavate a dock two or three miles away to ensure that in the event of an accident, we can escape by boat along the east and west rivers, from sea pearls to floating hills.

However, he also said honestly that the project of this tunnel was very difficult. Unexplainable strange things often happened during night excavation, so only two-thirds of it was completed, and it was still blocked by a huge boulder that stretched underground. To this day,

I haven't found any good way to solve the problem.

"That's enough!"

Lei Laohu gritted his teeth and showed a bit of a ruthless look as if he were a man in the business world. "That's enough. Bring the prepared kerosene. If someone targets us tonight, we will burn the house down and hide in the tunnel together."

!”

The old housekeeper with a sad face had no choice but to accept the order and leave, and instantly there was one less person in the room.

Seeing Lei Hu's escape plan getting more and more crazy, Hong Wending, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke. The very similar eyebrows and tone made Lei Hu think that it was Hong Xiguan appearing in front of him again.

"Master Lei, Master told us to keep you safe before he left. With my senior brother and I here to take care of you, you don't have to worry so much."

After Hong Wending finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Shitou. Xiao Shitou, who had just woken up from a dream, nodded quickly: "Yes, just listen to Master."

Seeing that the three children were so calm and relaxed, Lei Hu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, what he was most worried about was the safety of the three children left behind by Jiang Wen. He did not yet think that their martial arts skills were high enough to be unruly.

It would be great if something really happens and it doesn't hold you back.

"Young Master Hong, of course I can trust your skills, but the Pingnan Palace and the anti-thief assassins outside have been fighting frequently, and the enemy and us are unknown. I'm afraid you can't deal with so many people by yourself..."

Lei Huo wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, suddenly he smelled a hint of uneasiness in the quiet air, and suddenly said: "What is the sound?!!"

I saw the old butler struggling to move a clay pot and sticking his head out of the back door: "Sir, what are your orders?"

Seeing that it was a false alarm, Lei Hu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"It's okay, it's okay. Put the things away quickly so they don't leak out. If you accidentally burn them by mistake, I'll put you in and bake them."

The retreat route of burning the fire, Kungang, and the jade may not be useful, but it can delay it for the necessary time. Lei Laohu then thought about the well-known plan with the heart of burning the cauldron, but suddenly shouted again.

"No...there are still people's voices in the backyard!"

That kind of sound was neither like the sound of armor ringing during a heavy siege, nor like the traces of assassins ambushing an army with their swords, and it was completely different from the secret signal Jiang Wen had set for his return to Lei Mansion.

The dark, twisting and hidden sound is like a gurgling spring hidden deep underground, stirring and wandering among the endless rocks, until some indescribable shadows float in the quiet spring.

Above, fish and dragons dived and composed music that did not belong to this world.

Fu Ningdie was indifferent at first, but soon everyone discovered that this time it was not Thunder Tiger who was suspicious, but a strange sound slowly coming from the pouring rain outside. Hong Wending frowned slightly, and then jumped from the chair to

At the door of the house, a figure flashed quickly, causing all the lights in the house to flicker on and off.

The moment the door was opened, there was suddenly a mist, and the moist, salty water vapor instantly covered the eyes and noses of the people in the house. However, in the face of strange phenomena and strange shadows, everyone knew that there must be something that should not appear in this huge mansion.

Outsiders here!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Quick! Get that tank of kerosene! Fortunately, I had expected this day and had prepared for it before!"

Lei Hu thought of his golden cicada's escape plan again, and nervously ordered the housekeeper to prepare a way out, only to find that Hong Wending, who had just left the house, had already left and returned, followed by several familiar figures of different heights.

"...Sister Shuang'er, didn't you say that the secret passage leads to the ancient Nanhai Temple outside the city? Why did you throw us into the well?"

The voice gradually approached, and Yuan Ziyi, whose purple clothes had turned dark due to the rain and water, was trying to wring out the water from her hair, while complaining and walking into the house, followed by a petite girl who was also confused.

.

"It's so strange that the secret passage has actually changed its exit. Could it be that someone has tampered with it..."

Luo Shuang'er, who was wearing two green knives, long and short, was walking together. It was obvious that he was no stranger to Lei Mansion. When he walked in, he saw Lei Hu, who was stunned inside, and even took the initiative to say hello.

"Master Lei, there are three of them in the backyard, not thieves."

Hong Wending held the door open and looked around, and the last one to walk in was Yan Yongchun, who was tall and tall. She also looked like she was covered in water, but her expression and behavior were much more normal. She combed her messy wet hair and said.

"Wen Ding, fortunately this time we bumped into the Lei Mansion by mistake. We escaped from the Luo family, but there was something wrong with the Luo family's secret passage. A stone appeared in the middle of the road. If

If you get lost, you'll be in big trouble..."

What Yan Yongchun was talking about was exactly the doubts of the two foreigners and the two women. For some reason, the road that was supposed to lead to the Nanhai Ancient Temple suddenly became winding and winding. Halfway through, its appearance suddenly changed. There were many suspicious side roads and dead ends in the darkness.

, the three of them couldn't find the exit no matter how they walked, until they accidentally broke into a narrow tunnel.

After saying this, she raised her head and looked at Lei Huhu and the old housekeeper, "Mr. Lei, it's just us who are back. Why do you seem a little nervous?"

"Miss Yan, why do I feel that the path you are taking..."

After listening to Yan Yongchun's story, the old butler looked at Lei Huhu in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but Lei Huhu tightly covered his mouth and stared back viciously.

"It's okay, it's okay. You are all tired after walking such a long way. Do you need me to arrange for the kitchen to cook some midnight snacks?"

Fu Ningdie was a little nervous at first, but when she saw two familiar faces, she suddenly smiled: "Sister Wing Chun, sister Ziyi! It's you who are back! Have you seen Master!"

Yan Yongchun touched Fu Ningdie's little head, but did not answer her question: "Ningdie, be obedient. You three remember to follow us and don't run around. It's very dangerous outside now. If you see people from Pingnan Palace, remember not to

Reveal your identity.”

Fu Ningdie's eyes stayed on the faces of the three women for a moment, and she read something from their indescribable meanings, but she immediately closed her mouth and said, "Okay, I will just stay with everyone.

They will get separated."

Fu Ningdie, who has experienced several major events, has learned well and understood the principle of hiding and never showing up when walking in the world. However, the doubtful and nervous attitude of the three women could not be hidden from others after all. They seemed to be involved in something that was imminent.

Anxious about things.

Yuan Ziyi was whispering to Luo Shuang'er as soon as she entered the door. She lowered her voice and could only vaguely hear short words such as "ancient monument", "out of the city", and "dragon ghost". She did not feel at all satisfied and at ease when she returned home.

.

Lei Huhu's mood was even more contradictory. On the one hand, he was happy because there were three more powerful helpers with martial arts skills in his house. On the other hand, he was puzzled as to why the three of them suddenly appeared in the house. The blood was contaminated from the clothes and cuffs of the three heroines.

Judging from the plaster and moss, it seems that it has just emerged from some narrow mud tunnel and is covered with moss.

The only place in the backyard that meets this requirement is the well used for drawing water for cooking, but the entrance to the tunnel I dug is clearly under the bricks and stones in the back hall...

"Ladies, it sounds like you want to leave the city?"

Lei Huo eavesdropped for a while, and suddenly his eyes rolled. He realized that this was a good opportunity to promote his escape plan. He quickly patted his chest and said, "Actually, I have already dug a secret tunnel leading to the outside of the city, and I have prepared it in advance."

Okay, take the boat and go with Lei if you need it!"

When Luo Shuang'er heard this, she looked happy and said in a voice like a bell: "That's great. Take us there quickly. Daddy will be in danger if we wait too long."

"Even the Luo family is in danger? Then shouldn't I leave quickly?"

Thunder Tiger looked horrified and hurriedly pulled Fu Ningdie and Xiao Shitou and said, "You guys should come with me quickly. I feel like something will happen here sooner or later!"

However, Xiao Shitou and Fu Ningdie's attitudes were still extremely firm: "No, we can't go out until Master comes back."

"Wait a minute, all the boats in Guangzhou City were collected and taken away by the Navy a few days ago, and then they were ordered and banned by the Pingnan Palace. Are you sure you have a boat that can leave without anyone noticing?"

Yuan Ziyi looked at Thunder Tiger suspiciously, "I don't want to have to dig for water after all the hard work at the beach. I have to figure this out first."

However, Lei Huo confidently pledged, "There is absolutely no problem! I, Lei, have always convinced people with my virtue, how could I dazzle everyone? Just leave it to me."

"Then I'll believe you for now."

Yuan Ziyi thought for a moment with his hands on his hips, then turned to the three disciples of the Wuyi Sect and said, "Let's go into the tunnel with you first, and just wait for your master to come back and show up again. Staying here in vain will not help. This way

If you do this, it will still not violate your master’s instructions.”

Fu Ningdie thought for a moment and seemed to think it made some sense. Besides, the deserted house was very boring, so she might as well go and see what the tunnel looked like.

Seeing that Fu Ningdie was moved, Yuan Ziyi was already satisfied. He didn't expect to be able to convince the eccentric Xiao Shitou, but he didn't expect that he would stand up inexplicably.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Master said that Junior Sister has a bad star, and told me alone to protect Junior Sister and not leave her five steps away."

Then, under Fu Ningdie's angry gaze, several people pried open a green floor tile and prepared to walk to the entrance of the secret passage in the back hall. Lei Huo's worry about the risk of putting eggs in a basket finally changed slightly.
