Star Trace Gate

After much persuasion from Lao Liu, Ren finally couldn't hold on and agreed to go with him to spy on Miss Gao.

In fact, he was also quite curious and wanted to witness his sister-in-law's stunning beauty.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, the servants in Gao's mansion went back to their rooms to rest, and the recruited players were no longer allowed to move around freely. The whole compound became much quieter.

The two of them sneakily left the wing and headed straight for the women's quarters.

Ever since Ren Ye and the others successfully returned with the treasure, there have been more patrols and guards in the Gao Mansion. This may be to prevent Wang Shoucai's revenge; or it may be because the Angry Village has committed too many murders, and they are afraid that the enemies will cause trouble before the wedding, so they are taking strict precautions.

However, although the two were not good at hiding and sneaking, they were second-level testicles after all, so it was still easy for them to avoid some ordinary guards.

In the front, Lao Liu was moving at an extremely fast speed through the dark corners of the yard. Just from his movements, one could feel his urgency and impatience.

"I say, why the hell are you here? Be careful." Ren Ye reminded silently from the back: "There are a lot of guards in the courtyard. If you run into them, your father-in-law might trample on your balls."

"Brother, if I have a good chat with my wife, you can come back first." Old Liu panted and said, "For the sake of the empire, I can sacrifice my little self and ask her where the Nine-bend Blue Cloud Bamboo is all night long."

"People here are very feudal, so please hold me close."

"Feudal? It depends on whether I stab her or not." Lao Liu is good in every way, except that his mental health soars when he thinks about his night life.

As the two were talking, they were already very close to the women's quarters.

Although they had never been here before, they had stayed in the mansion for so long that they knew exactly where Miss Gao lived. After all, the wedding was about to begin, and the servants in the women's quarters would definitely come in and out here frequently while they were busy preparing.

Old Liu briefly recalled the situation and followed the corridor outside a tall house straight to the inner courtyard where Miss Gao was.

"Tap!"

Just as he was about to see the inner courtyard wall, he suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps, as if someone was coming from a distance.

At the same time, clear conversation sounds were heard coming from the direction of Miss Gao's inner courtyard, as if a group of servants were moving something.

The two were trapped in a corridor that was only about 50 meters long, with no way out and the situation was critical.

"Fuck, there are people in front and behind. Jump...jump into the flower bed and be Voldemort for a while." Old Liu turned around and reminded Ren Ye urgently.

After saying that, he bent down, used the wooden pillars of the corridor to hide his body, and was about to rush into the flower bed.

"Don't go, this way!"

Ren Ye was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed Lao Liu's wrist with one hand, pushed open the side door of the tall house with his other hand, and hid inside.

"Squeak!"

The door was gently pushed shut. The two held their breath, sweat on their foreheads, and listened to the noise outside with their muscles tensed.

After a while, the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard clearly outside the door. The two heard Butler Liu say, "Yes, the master specifically instructed that the fish must be bought in advance, otherwise there won't be enough. Um, you go and do it...!"

As they were talking, the footsteps gradually faded, and Butler Liu and the others left.

"call!"

Ren also let out a long sigh: "I'm really fucking obsessed. You're getting married, and I can't take any advantage of you. Why do I have to argue with you about this?"

"What's a brother? It means that no matter what stupid things I do, you will always be by my side...!"

"Go away! While I was brainwashing others, you were still screwing around in prison." Ren Ye waved his hands in annoyance.

"They probably didn't go too far. Let's wait for a while." Old Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted and replied, "Actually, this is for my wife, and on the other hand, I'm a little curious about the Nine-bend Green Cloud Bamboo."

"What aren't you curious about?" Ren also rolled his eyes and turned his head to look around.

He discovered that the interior of this tall room was an empty hall, and in the center, there were a number of gradually taller wooden tables with various tablets on them.

Hey, is this the Gao Family Ancestral Hall? Ren Ye looked at the plaque hanging on the wall opposite the main entrance and made a conclusion in his mind.

"I'm not kidding you. I'm really a little curious and confused about the Nine-bend Green Cloud Bamboo." Old Liu looked at him and said seriously, "Don't you find it strange?"

"Speak out your immature thoughts." Ren Ye replied calmly while looking around.

"Look, we've been traveling in this star gate for so long, and we've almost explored the basic boundaries of the mechanism." Lao Liu analyzed seriously, "Besides, no team should have as much information as we do. Judging from the current situation, the setting of Qijia Town should not require players to visit all seven villages before successfully completing the task of restoring the story, because this setting is too conventional and too low-level. It just gives clues bluntly, without any mysterious beauty or difficulty in deduction, and it's a waste of time."

"Well, keep talking."

"Personally, I think that after the wedding, it should be the finale. Players need to make a judgment on the truth of the story based on the existing information clues and finally choose a camp." Old Liu blinked his eyes: "The current plot is also developing in this direction. After Mingyue and I got married, Mr. Gao began to recruit soldiers, and the other five family heads also recruited guests. It feels like a big war is about to start... But, didn't you notice that all the tasks have been advanced, except for one thing that has been mysterious from beginning to end."

"Nine-bend Green Cloud Bamboo?" Ren Ye asked tentatively.

"Yes." Old Liu nodded. "Until now, Stargate has not announced any detailed information about the Nine-bend Blue Cloud Bamboo. For example, you said it was the highest reward, but you didn't tell you how players need to fight for it. And you said it was not the highest reward, but we got several important clues. If it was just a prop in the mission, would Stargate have to add so many clues about it?!"

Ren was also startled, his expression a little surprised: "You are very thin."

"I got the nickname of the best needle in the Northeast out of thin air?" Old Liu said arrogantly, "Anyway, I personally think that this is related to the mechanism of the Nine-bend Blue Cloud Bamboo, which may be different from what we have experienced before. For example, when you were in Qingliang Mansion, from the very beginning, the Star Gate told you that your main task was to retrieve the Human Emperor Sword: and when I was in the Temple District, as soon as I activated the hidden task, the Star Gate also told me that if I completed the final bet and won, I would get the inheritance and exclusive treasure. And this SS-level Star Gate...!"

"I understand what you mean." Ren nodded and replied, "This Nine-bend Blue Cloud Bamboo may be ownerless in the end. The Star Gate is currently divided into six camps. The final mission may very well be a chaotic battle for the treasure."

"Yes, that's what I mean." Old Liu nodded immediately: "If that's the case, then the final battle will be very tragic. We must prepare early."

"How to do it?"

"My brain is already very tired after thinking about this step." Lao Liu rolled his eyes: "You are the captain, the rest of the strategy is up to you."

Ren also blinked, "Yeah, I'll think about it some time."

As the two were talking, Old Liu looked up and around: "This... seems to be Gao Jiali's hall."

"What a shitty hall." Ren also rolled his eyes: "This is called an ancestral hall, and the people enshrined here are all deceased members of the Gao family."

"Oh, they're all the same." Old Liu replied ignorantly.

At this moment, Ren Ye stopped at the left side of the ancestral hall, looked at a long table placed alone and said, "What does this mean? It's so strange."

"what happened?"

Old Liu came over and asked.

Ren Ye looked at the long table and saw that there was only a spirit tablet and an incense burner with a Taoist talisman on it. Apart from that, there were no other offerings. The whole table looked very empty.

The strangest thing is that the memorial tablet actually contained four traditional Chinese characters: "壹壹六三."

The two looked at the traditional Chinese numbers on the memorial tablet with confused and puzzled expressions.

"What does writing four numbers mean?" Old Liu blinked his eyes: "Could it be that my father-in-law's father is called... Gao 1163?!"

Ren also frowned and looked at him: "Your IQ is like a fucking heart rate chart, it's really hard to figure out!"

"Hey, who cares." Old Liu waved his hand: "The rules of the rich and powerful are all very strange."

Ren Ye withdrew his gaze with a puzzled expression, turned his head and said, "Let's go, let's go back."

"Go back?" Old Liu asked in surprise.

"Why don't you go back? There's a big brother in the courtyard!"

"Tonight, no matter if it's a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire, I must see my wife's face." Old Liu looked determined.

"I really want to kill you, you bastard!" Ren Ye cursed speechlessly, "Does it mean we have to risk our lives just to take a look?"

……

Ten minutes later, after leaving the ancestral hall, the two quietly came to the wall of Miss Gao's inner courtyard.

Lao Liu whispered, "It's not like I don't have a plan. Hey, we can use the invisibility charm."

"Good idea!" Ren nodded.

As soon as the words came out, the two of them instantly summoned the invisibility talisman and their figures instantly disappeared into the night.

Cautiously climbing up the wall, Lao Liu saw a few female servants walking back and forth in the courtyard. In the main room not far away, the lights were bright. Through the windows and curtains, he could see the back of a very slender and suggestive woman...

Old Liu's eyes lit up: "My wife is waiting for me in the room!"

……

In a room in Gao Mansion.

Yu Weifeng lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a dull expression.

Not far away, Mad Dog was sitting on a chair, eating peanuts, dried tofu and drinking Maotai liquor.

A brother nearby opened his mouth and asked, "Where did you get the wine and snacks?"

Mad Dog was stunned for a moment: "I asked Lao Qu for it. He didn't eat or drink it. It's a waste to keep it."

After saying that, he looked at Yu Weifeng and asked, "What are you thinking about? Come down and have a drink?"

Yu Weifeng shook his head a little absent-mindedly, all he could think about was what Lao Qu had said to him before he left today.
