On the sequelae of suspended animation + voice

Chapter 21: Disguising

The sky outside the house was not yet clear, but it was different from Zong Nian's imagining that the sun was high. There was a gleam of light in the sky, which was enough to see that there were no clouds in the sky. Today would be a fine and sunny day.

In summer, it dawns early, and the sun will rise in a short while.Zong Nian reckoned that he hadn't been in the dark room for long, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

From the outside, this study with a hidden dark room looks nothing special. Just like the dark room, medical books fill the entire shelf, which is enough to prove that the owner of this room is specialized in this field.The furnishings in the study are all valuables. Although Zong Nian couldn't call them out one by one, he could tell that the owner of the room was of a high status and must be from a noble family.It's just that whether this is the Lin family or not, we have to go out to say.

Zong Nian took a few steps to the door, and was about to open the door to go out. Then he thought: Since this is an aristocratic family, there should be servants to serve. Although it is not yet dawn, the servants must not be lazy, and they must have gotten up early to prepare , I am afraid that such recklessness will cause alarm.

Fortunately, Jiekong Xinfa specializes in how to hide the body, as long as you are careful, coming and going freely is not a problem.

After thinking clearly, Zong Nian first confirmed that there were no servants passing by outside the house, and then cautiously turned out the window.Outside is a large courtyard, and there are even rockery and flowing water stone bridges, which are full of style.

After sneaking quietly to the only exit of the courtyard, Zong Nian still found that he was taking things for granted.Outside the courtyard, attendants can be seen running around, everyone is in a hurry, as if preparing for something.The study where he lives needs to be clean, so there are naturally no people in the courtyard.But the outside is completely different. It is more difficult to sneak out under the eyes of so many attendants.

What to do?Zong Nian didn't dare to stay where he was anymore, for fear of being discovered by others, there happened to be a big tree with dense branches rising up against the wall not far away, Zong Nian was overjoyed, and resorted to the trick he used to climb trees and touch birds when he was a child, Mischievously climbed to the top of the tree, leaning on the cover of the branches and leaves, looking down at this huge courtyard.

Looking from top to bottom, this place is so big that there are at least three Flying Star Docks added together, and the end is nowhere to be seen at a glance.More than a dozen courtyards are neatly lined up like the teeth of a comb, and there are as many rooms as there are chess pieces on a chessboard, which are hard to count at a glance.Not far away, there is a blue mountain surrounded by mist. If it is not for a big family with a profound heritage, it is absolutely difficult to support such a large courtyard.

The most conspicuous thing is a small building not far away, it stands in the surrounding low courtyard surrounded by clouds and moon, making people unable to take their eyes off.Seeing that small building, Zong Nian suddenly realized where it was.

It turns out that this is the Lin Family Biezhuang!The Lin Family Villa where the Treasure Appreciation Conference is going to be held today!

After arriving in Yangzhou, he mentioned to Lu Shao the location of the treasure appraisal conference.Lu Shao said at the time: "The villa is so big that it is more than enough to hold a treasure appraisal conference."

Zong Nian couldn't imagine: "No matter how big the courtyard is, it's impossible for dozens of sects to sit in broad daylight, right? Or is their hall big enough to accommodate so many people?"

"Ji Zhi doesn't know now," Lu Shao smiled and approached him, "There is a small building in Lin's Biezhuang, and there is a cave in it, which is very suitable."

Seeing that glaring and isolated small building at this moment, Zong Nian still doesn't understand where he is.

This villa is so well run that even the clothes on the servants are not simple and coarse.Is the Lin family really weak and secluded?This is probably just showing weakness!Zong Nian's mind was spinning fast, and in the blink of an eye, he could clearly think of the hidden calculation behind it.

But since he was already at the venue of the Treasure Appraisal Conference, he was not in a hurry to leave.He had to figure out what was behind it.

But just sitting on the tree, you can't get any news.Zong Nian thought about it, and just saw a servant enter the yard, an idea popped up in his head.

He patiently waited for the servant to come out of the house, and when he passed under the tree, he knocked him unconscious with a jump, and then he climbed up the tree with the man on his back, exchanged clothes with him, and dressed himself as the servant of the other village.

Before going down the tree, Zong Nian did not forget to touch the servant's dumb acupoint, and he didn't know how terrified the man would be when he woke up and found that he was unable to make a sound in the tree.

As the sun rose gradually, Zong Nian bent over and shuttled between the courtyards pretending to be a servant.He wanted to walk around the small building to see if he could find anything, but he was stopped by a man in the clothes of a manager on the way.Zong Nian originally thought that he had been exposed so quickly, and didn't want the manager to just point people at random.

The steward also called several other servants, and they all followed behind him, bowing their heads and bowing their heads, walking respectfully and cautiously, without asking where they were going.The same is true for Zong Nian, but he kept his mind on it and took note of the future.It wasn't until the manager stopped that Zong Nian realized that they had arrived at a remote yard.

"You guys clean up the place, change the quilts in the house, and bring some tea. Don't ask too much, don't look too much, you know the consequences." The manager frowned and ordered one by one, and nodded when he saw several people Yes, I thought about it and added another sentence. "If someone comes, no matter what it is, and serve it well, don't neglect it."

After that, he left.

Several servants immediately dispersed to do their own things.Although the manager's last sentence was a bit subtle, Zong Nian didn't understand it, seeing that it was not easy to slip away at this time, so he pretended to clean up.

He was sweeping the fallen leaves when he felt someone approaching him.

"Are you new here too?" It turned out to be one of the servants who were brought over, and spoke to Zongnian in a low voice.

Zong Nian only nodded, and his reaction was indifferent.

But the man seemed to have found a partner, so he didn't respond much, and said to himself, "I'm new here too, I heard that this yard is for a distinguished guest, but that distinguished guest has a weird temper, Every time he comes, he has to clean the yard spotlessly, otherwise he will get angry."

VIP?Zong Nian's face remained unchanged, he was still diligently moving the broom in his hand, but his ears were pricked up, and he continued to listen to the man's continuation.

"And that distinguished guest looks different every time he comes. Sometimes he's a man in his prime, sometimes he's a thin old man, and sometimes he's a dainty girl! Can it change eighteen times as sung in the play?"

Every time the appearance changes...this is disguise.People who often disguise themselves, mostly to hide their identities, just like him.

Wait, as a new servant, this person may not know too much!Could it be that he guessed that he is not a servant in this other village?Zong Nian was startled, and suddenly raised his head to look at him, but saw that the servant had a playful look in his eyes, which was very familiar.

"You are..." Zong Nian recognized it. "Pine Green!"

A delighted smile appeared on that ordinary-looking face, "Young Master Zong, are you here all right?" Sure enough, it was Song Qing.

Before Zong Nian could ask any questions, Song Qing said, "Let's go into the house and clean it." Then he pulled him into the house involuntarily.

As soon as she entered the room, Song Qing immediately closed the door tightly.He turned his head and looked up and down at Zong Nian, who was dressed as a servant, and said with a smile: "I don't think Zong Shaoxia likes to disguise so much. If you don't mind, I still have a spare mask."

Zong Nian smiled bitterly and said, "Stop teasing me, why is Shaoxia Song here?" He really didn't expect to meet Song Qing here, but according to Lu Shao, this person seems to be a little elusive, maybe...

"Zong Shaoxia won't forget what I just said?" Song Qing winked at him, "I am this honored guest."

There is no reason for a distinguished guest to pretend to be a servant!Zong Nian's first reaction was that this person was joking, but after thinking about it, he suddenly remembered something that he had ignored all along.

"You are... Shadow Bow's apprentice?" Zong Nian's eyes widened.

How could he have forgotten this!

However, this is a bit subtle. As the protector of Wuwanglou, Shadow Bow is actually related to the Lin family. As the apprentice of Shadow Bow, Song Qing... Could it also be related to the Lin family?That's why he stood here and was invited over as a "Valented Guest"!

Zong Nian couldn't help becoming nervous, he was a little uncertain about the other party's thoughts for a while.

"That's right." Song Qing replied frankly.

"You and I didn't meet by chance?" Zong Nian frowned and asked again.

Song Qing shook his head at this time, "It can be said that it is, but it is not." He glanced at Zong Nian's confused look, and explained, "I know that my master robbed you, but I didn't know that you would pretend to be Servant."

"Then..." Since he was so frank, it meant that he had no malicious intentions. Zong Nian felt relieved, and he had many questions but didn't know what to ask.

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Song Qing smiled inwardly, and took the initiative to explain.

"Zong Shaoxia must have wanted to ask me if I know the relationship between Master and the Lin family, right? I do know, otherwise I wouldn't be here today." Song Qing paused and changed his title, "It's just that I Only then did I learn that Shadow Bow used Wuwanglou's power to secretly help the Lin family to stir up troubles in the martial arts world, and even planted the rumors about Chi Xingyu's training on Wuwanglou today, so as to establish an image of a public enemy of the martial arts. The Lin family took advantage of the situation to launch the leader of the martial arts alliance."

"Even if he is my master and has the grace to teach me, I can't tolerate his actions." Song Qing snorted coldly, "Wu Wang Lou is lawless and reckless. Although we are not happy with the righteous way, we don't want to be punished by others." Treat it as a pawn!"

His call was like a boulder falling into the water, and Zong Nian was enlightened all of a sudden, and he figured out many things.

"Did Lu Shao tell you?" Zong Nian asked.

Hearing him mention Lu Shao, Song Qing smiled narrowly, "That's right. The landlord of your house does have some skills, and I am convinced to serve him as a guardian. And when he solves the chaos in the building, I can concentrate on it." Specialized in the method of disguise."

Zong Nian couldn't help but feel a little hot when he heard him teasing himself, and felt a little funny when he heard that Song Qing was determined to specialize in disguise.Lu Shao said that he was extremely talented and would be invincible within a year, but he was obsessed with disguise when he didn't want him.

"However, Lu Shao only knows that you were robbed, and he doesn't know where you were robbed. Now you can see his burning eyebrows again, haha."

Song Qing seems to like to add to Lu Shao's obstacles very much, and her words are full of gloating.

Zong Nian sighed, thinking that the other party kept saying that he didn't want to leave him, and thought that the relationship would be settled after the matter was over, so that he could feel at ease.It's just that he won't tell Song Qing about this plan.

"You just said that Chi Xingyu's practice at the Treasure Appreciation Conference will be liquidated?" This is the biggest doubt in Zong Nian's heart.

"That's right!" Song Qing nodded, "Shadow Bow came to me today to make me pretend to be Lu Shao to take away Chi Xingyu Lian at the conference, and then blame all the dirty water on Wuwanglou With such a target to crusade against the Demon Cult, it is only a matter of moments before a mob gathers together."

"That's it?" Zong Nian couldn't believe it, "Would anyone really believe such a simple method?"

Song Qing sighed: "Believe it or not is not the point, but you don't know that several sects have secretly formed an alliance with the Lin family. They have been pushing for so long, and today they just launched a goal to convince the neutral people in the arena. No matter what the truth is, people say what they say, three people become tigers, and no one wants to be that stray bird."

The mystery that has been entangled in my heart is finally solved today, but the reason is still so ridiculous!Several sects of Qingguangzhuang slaughtered the whole family for the legendary Chi Xingyu Lian, while the Lin family made waves behind their backs in order to regain power.How many lives died because of power and wealth is both ridiculous and so real.

Zong Nian's mind was tumbling, and scenes from the past flashed in his mind.His enemies, his enemies are not only those who are dead, but also the Lin family, and those who are driven by interests!

He had already been hit by Shadow Bow, but at this moment he was restless, an internal injury that he hadn't noticed before broke out, his Qi and blood rolled upwards, and he actually spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Song Qing was really taken aback, and immediately supported Zong Nian to sit down. "Are you okay? I still have some wound medicine here."

Zong Nian shook his head, and wiped away the blood from his mouth with his sleeve.He looked up at Song Qing, his eyes were bright, hiding a firm determination.

"Please tell me Wuwanglou's plan for today, I want to contribute too."

Yes, he wants revenge!Even if he couldn't kill all the enemies who killed his family, he would at least smash their dreams!
