Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era
Chapter 220 Visiting the Marquis Mansion at Night
At night, Qian You and the other four changed into night clothes, flew out of the courtyard like swallows, and headed towards the tallest and most spacious mansion in the town.
Although the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion here is not as majestic as the one in Lidu City, it is like a palace in this remote town.
There were no villages around and the trees were lush. Although it was still winter, the unique climate of the south meant that the leaves had not fallen, providing a good support and cover for the group.
According to the division of labor made in advance, several people lightly landed on the roofs of various places and observed the layout of the courtyard in the moonlight.
This is a large and continuous courtyard. The screen wall inside the gate and the winding corridor are extremely exquisite, and the stone materials are very particular, which fully demonstrates the grandeur.
The front and back yards of each courtyard are separated by archways with hanging flowers. The main house in the front yard is tall and has a deep span.
The backyard is full of lush flowers and trees. The main house and the east and west wing rooms each have their own courtyards, which are independent and quiet.
There is a large lake with rippling water on the east side of the backyard of the marquis's mansion. There are also several small boats and pleasure boats parked on the lakeside, which shows that this is a place for daily entertainment.
From the coming and going of servants and the noisy sounds of children in the courtyard, it can be inferred that the prince of the marquisate, Lu Yuan, lives in the easternmost courtyard.
The courtyard in the center should be the main courtyard, where Marquis Weiyuan resides.
Qian You and Qiao Mu made a gesture, took cover from the dense trees, teleported to the largest main house in the backyard, and landed steadily on the roof.
There were still servants coming in and out of the courtyard, so the people in the room should not have gone to bed yet.
The door of the east wing creaked open, and a young and beautiful woman wearing a thin coat, twisting her slender waist, walked slowly towards the main house.
Without informing anyone, the woman pushed open the door of the main house and went in alone.
The maid glanced around the courtyard, told the servants to finish their work and go back to their rooms, and went to the other side room with a lantern.
"Master, you haven't rested yet. I cooked some porridge for you to drink before going to sleep."
"You really know how to care for others. If you don't come, I will go find you."
"Look at what you said. My father loves me, so why should I trouble you?"
As the woman spoke, she leaned on the man who stood up from behind the desk. The man also put his arms around her slender waist and his hands slid restlessly over her body.
The woman caught a glimpse of the letter on the desk from the corner of her eye.
"A letter from the Regent? What did he say?"
"He didn't say anything, but still told us to be careful. But we just don't know when that brat will come."
"I am worried too. If the Marquis never shows up in this huge military camp, we can't keep it to ourselves for too long. On New Year's Eve, the most troublesome General Hu Wei had doubts about your disguise, Master Gu. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have been too embarrassed to fight with a woman, and he would have been exposed that day."
The woman picked up the soup spoon, sat in the man's arms, and carefully fed him the porridge.
"It's okay, don't worry, the Regent has made all the arrangements, we just need to follow his orders."
"Master, you have to protect me from now on. If the Marquis finds out about our affairs, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to die."
"Don't worry, I'll protect you and won't let you die."
The man picked up the woman and walked towards the big bed in the inner room.
The coquettish panting sounds in the house became louder and louder, making the two people on the roof stiffen a little.
The two of them quietly put down the lifted tiles and quietly retreated.
A night cry was like a flying bird, instantly disappearing into the darkness.
After two quarters of an hour, several people returned to the courtyard one after another. Qian You arranged people to guard it and gathered them together to exchange information.
There were not many guards patrolling the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, and the handover was not very rigorous. Form was more important than process, and the precautions were relatively lax.
The prince of the marquis's mansion was resting in his concubine's room, and everyone in the courtyard looked normal.
The son of Marquis Weiyuan and his concubine Liu was just three years old and was being coaxed to sleep by his wet nurse in a separate courtyard.
When Qian You and Qiao Mu talked about what they saw and heard in the main house, Qi Luobai was a little stunned.
"Master Gu? Who is he?"
What does it mean that a man from another family is living in the main house of the Marquis's mansion with the woman favored by the Marquis?
"My uncle may have been in trouble!"
Qi Luobai thought in horror.
His worries have come true.
How could nothing go wrong?
How could the Regent uncle, who was his only support, let him go?
"From their conversation, the Marquis may still be alive. They may need him to lure you. If they don't see you falling into the trap, the Marquis' life should be safe. I just don't know where he is hidden."
Qian You analyzed the information from tonight and comforted Qi Luobai.
"The military camp probably doesn't know that something has happened to the Marquis yet, otherwise it's impossible that everyone would betray the Marquis, especially that General Hu Wei."
Qiao Mu added.
"General Hu Wei is my uncle's sworn brother, Bai Hu. I met him once in the Marquis' Mansion in Lidu. He is a simple, straightforward and rough man."
"Who else is closest to Marquis Weiyuan?"
"I know that my uncle has four generals, Tiger, Lion, Bear and Leopard. They are the four great generals. They went through life and death with my uncle and conquered the world of Southern Qi. They guarded the border together."
"Who is this Master Gu?"
"I don't know. It should be the Ninth Prince's people. I'm not sure."
"Qian You, we can interrogate Qi Luozhou. He is his father's subordinate. He should know."
Qiao Nan spoke at the right time. It was she who had arranged for people to look after Qi Luozhou these days.
"Yes! Qiao Mu, go and interrogate Qi Luozhou tonight and find out who this Master Gu is. That way we can find the right remedy and rescue the Marquis as soon as possible."
Qi Luozhou was fed medicine by Qian You and lost his skills and strength. He was dragged around like a dead dog every day. He was depressed and had no way to vent. At this moment, he looked up at the sky speechlessly, praying silently that his father must come to save him.
"Do you want to try out the eighteen torture techniques I introduced last time, or do you want me to ask you something and confess?"
Qiao Mu sat on the chair opposite Qi Luozhou, fanning himself with a feather fan and looking at him with disdain.
Eighteen kinds, no, he only endured three kinds last time. It was an inhuman torture that he never wanted to recall again, let alone try it again.
The fear in his eyes revealed his mood at the moment, and Qiumu was very satisfied.
"Who is Master Gu?"
"What Master Gu?"
"Master Gu, this man is about 40 years old and has the same body shape as Marquis Weiyuan. His facial features are almost the same. He should be from Lidu. Who is he to the Regent?"
"Master Gu? Master Gu? But Gu Ming? His age and build are similar to what you said. He is a guest in the mansion and a loyal subordinate of my father. Why is he here?"
"Pay attention, I'm asking you, not you asking me."
Qi Luozhou drooped his eyelids. It was really unpleasant to live under someone else's roof.
He had no say. This was the first time in more than ten years of his life that he had lost his say. He was unwilling but helpless.
"What are this person's characteristics, strengths, or weaknesses?"
Qi Luozhou originally wanted to keep silent, but when Qiao Mu gave him a look, he spoke honestly.
"This person is not particularly outstanding in the palace, but if we talk about his characteristics, he is good at disguise and ventriloquism, and can imitate people's speech very vividly."
"Oh? What about the disadvantages?"
"This man is a lecherous man, a horny man, who doesn't care about young girls or wives. It is said that he cherishes his virility very much, and he will not let go of any good tonic or famous doctor."
"How strong is this man?"
"Not the best, but his skills are not bad, and he is very loyal to father."
"Any more?"
"That's all. I've told you everything I know. If you don't believe me, you can feed me another truth pill. You know I absolutely cannot stand the torture of that drug."
Qiao Mu looked at Qi Luozhou, who was trying hard to maintain his image, with disdain and turned away.
