Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss

After a long bumpy ride, the carriage finally stopped.

Lin Xi told Su Yuan, "I'm going to walk a mountain road in a while."

"Do you want to blindfold me?" Su Yuan asked.

Lin Xiwen shook his head with a smile, and got out of the carriage first.

Su Yuan got out of the car with the vegetable basket.

She looked around the environment, all pine forests.The place where the carriage drove didn't even have a mountain road, it was a mountainous area with weeds, and only two ruts were left where the car ran over the weeds.

Looking back along the traces, about a dozen feet away, the traces are hidden in the dense woods and can no longer be seen, making it difficult to tell where the road came from.

Unexpectedly, there is a gap in this kind of dense forest for the carriage to drive in. No wonder when I was riding in the carriage just now, it not only bumped, but also shook back and forth. It must be that the carriage kept changing directions in the woods.

After getting off the car from Su Yuan, Lin Xi's eyes fell on the vegetable basket that Su Yuan was carrying.On the surface, the basket contained radishes, Kunlun purple melons and pineapple, and some green leafy vegetables were pressed underneath. It is not clear whether there are other things underneath.

Su Yuan noticed Lin Xi's eyes, and explained to him: "It's not easy to waste money on vegetables."

"There's still a long way to go in a while, let them take it away." Lin Xi ordered a subordinate to pick up the vegetable basket in Su Yuan's hand, and told him to remember to eat it and not to waste it.

The subordinate immediately agreed, and after receiving the food basket, he resigned peacefully and drove away in a carriage.

Su Yuan glanced at the carriage that disappeared in the woods in a moment, then followed Lin Xi's pace and walked deep into the woods.

The further you go, the taller the trees grow, and the sparser the grass on the surface.After walking for about a stick of incense, there is only a layer of short grass growing on the ground in the woods, and there are some places where the soil is exposed, and nothing grows.

Su Yuan twisted his sleeves and followed Lin Xi step by step.Although she observed the surrounding environment from the corner of her eye and tried to remember the route, these pine trees were all similar in size, so it was hard to identify them.And the more you memorize, the easier it is to get dizzy, and you can't tell where it is.

Lin Xi finally stopped in front of a very ordinary pine tree, Su Yuan didn't see anything special about this pine tree.

The three accompanying subordinates scraped away a layer of soil above the ground, revealing a stone slab, lifted the slate, and there was an iron ring inside, pulled the iron ring, and pulled out a thick and long iron chain.Then, the three of them pulled the iron chain out at the same time, and Su Yuan felt the ground shaking violently.

Suddenly, the ground three feet away from her right foot suddenly sank.Su Yuan immediately took two steps back to avoid being choked by the flying dust.

When the rumble stopped and the dust had almost settled, a dark hole appeared in the center of the ground.A subordinate entered the cave first, took out an exquisite octagonal lantern, and then lit the candles in the lantern.

Lin Xi took the lantern and said to Su Yuan, "Let's go."

Su Yuan shook off his sleeves and followed Lin Xi into the cave.

The boom sounded again, and the hole behind him was covered.

The cave was pitch black, only the lantern held by Lin Xi was lit.

The unfamiliar tunnel, closed and dark, gave people an extremely unsafe feeling.If it were an ordinary person, it would probably be unavoidable to feel flustered and frightened.Su Yuan was different. She was used to hiding in the dark, and after she didn't hear or sense any danger around her, she was not afraid of anything.

Su Yuan calmly followed Lin Xi, following him to lead the way.

Lin Xi glanced at Su Yuan appreciatively, then raised the corners of his mouth, and continued walking forward.

Different from the simple and straight tunnel in Ankanghou Mansion, this tunnel extends in all directions, with many forks, each road looks the same, like a maze, it is very easy to get lost.

Su Yuan also discovered that the pattern of the stone bricks paved on the tunnel is very special. The bricks are black, and the black stone bricks are divided into squares of uniform size by several white lines horizontally and vertically. Whenever the two lines meet, there is a white polka dot.This pattern only needs to be glanced at, and people's eyes will have an illusion. It seems that there are black dots flashing on the white dots. People can't help but wonder, can the black dots jump?So I wanted to take a closer look...and so on and on, the longer I look at it, the easier it is to be blind.

This is an optical illusion that produces optical illusions.Su Yuan didn't expect that in this ancient world, she could actually see this kind of picture.

Su Yuan immediately raised his head and looked around.After people are dizzy, they are more likely to get confused when they look at the tunnels extending in all directions in the dark.This setup is so simple and brilliant!

"How did you come up with this pattern?" Su Yuan even doubted whether Lin Xi, like himself, did not belong to this world.

"Draw a few random strokes by chance, and then find something interesting." Lin Xi asked Su Yuan if he found it interesting.

"It's so interesting." Su Yuan followed his words and responded.

"This tunnel looks familiar. The formation and tunnel of Ankanghou Mansion are from your hands?"

Five years ago, when the Hou Mansion was under construction, Marquis Ankang listened to the proposal of the craftsman and agreed to build tunnels and formations for escape.This craftsman was nowhere to be found when the Kaifeng Mansion investigated later.Therefore, everyone suspects that this craftsman is related to 'Wang Yu'.

If five years ago, 'Wang Yu' had set up the Ankang Marquis Mansion, how terrible it would be.

Su Yuan wanted to confirm whether Lin Xi had these thoughts long ago.

"I did it conveniently. At the time, I thought it might be used in the future, but I didn't expect it to be used." Lin Xi's tone was casual, sounding like he didn't care at all.

Su Yuan understood, there must be similar layouts that Lin Xi 'followed'.

Su Yuan couldn't help asking Lin Xi: "How do you know so much?"

"Don't forget, I'm 17 years older than you, how can I live these 17 years in vain?"

Lin Xi told Su Yuan that he was sensitive and eager to learn since he was a child, with a photographic memory, and he was like an adult at the age of eight.At the beginning, he studied with Daoist Sikong of Ice Cave, so he took a fancy to his martial arts and medical skills, and wanted to learn to heal people's diseases.

"Who are you treating?"

"It doesn't matter who he treats, she is gone."

Lin Xi's voice was still calm, but Su Yuan could tell that this person was very important to him, he should be someone like his parents or elders.

"What is the purpose of you setting up Ghost Sorrow and making so many troubles?" Su Yuan still can't guess this point.

Lin Xi stopped suddenly, staring at Su Yuan with deep eyes: "You can't guess my purpose?"

That look seemed to say, if you can't even see my purpose, how can you be the woman I like?

Su Yuan stared back at him provocatively: "So what if you can't guess?"

"Since you can't even guess it, it's even harder for others to guess it. That's good."

Lin Xi suddenly laughed again, and continued walking while talking to Su Yuan.

"Actually, I didn't ask myself to accomplish anything. That would be too tiring to live. I just do what I want, just try it out."

"No wonder I killed so many attributes of you, you don't seem to care at all."

It turned out that it was all the result of his experimentation. He didn't put in too much effort, so naturally he didn't feel bad.To sum it up in another sentence, he is just too talented to be idle.

Su Yuan gathered his hands in his sleeves, and then supported the wall with his hands.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xi suddenly spoke with his back to Su Yuan.

Then he turned his head slowly, his eyes were like a bottomless black pool, staring at Su Yuan faintly.

"Dizziness." Su Yuan looked down at the stone bricks on the ground.

"Don't look at the ground."

Lin Xi picked up the lantern, illuminating Su Yuan's face more brightly. At the same time, she could clearly see that after she retracted her hand holding the wall, it didn't leave any special marks on the wall.

Lin Xi handed the lantern to Su Yuan, and asked Su Yuan to carry the lantern and go.

"I will lead the way, and you will illuminate for me, so that you will not stare at the ground, but will only stare at me." Lin Xi smiled slightly, and continued to lead the way.

Su Yuan held up a lantern to illuminate him. Lin Xi's figure was lonely in the darkness. The light from the lantern shone on his skin, making his fair skin glow like pearls.

What kind of beauty and skin care method is this?Can maintain people as if they are not real people?

Su Yuan deliberately walked slowly and fast, affecting the light in front of Lin Xi, but Lin Xi was not affected at all, the speed was as usual, and he turned when he had to, without hesitation.Obviously every tunnel looks the same, especially in low light conditions, it is more difficult to tell the difference.But he is very familiar with all this, as if he can find a way out with his eyes closed.

"arrive."

Lin Xi touched a very obvious raised stone mechanism on the wall, there was a booming sound coming from the front, and then the front of the tunnel opened, and light came in.

Su Yuan wanted to walk over, but was stopped by Lin Xi.

After a while, someone shouted from the entrance of the cave, saying that it was all right.

Only then did Lin Xi divert his steps and stepped on the stone steps leading to the exit.

Only then did Su Yuan take a closer look at the stone steps on the ground and the surrounding walls, and found that there were many, many circular gaps, obviously there were traps here.Su Yuan kept his hands hidden in his sleeve pockets as before, then shook off his sleeves twice, and then followed Lin Xi out.

After seeing the sun again, Su Yuan couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

After getting used to the light, Su Yuan saw the chrysanthemums on the hillside, the golden color was very dazzling.

Two men in green clothes stood respectfully at the entrance of the cave. After she came out, they sealed the stone slab at the entrance of the cave, refilled the soil and raised ridges, and planted chrysanthemums.

After descending the chrysanthemum slope and passing through a bamboo grove, you can see the majestic palaces and pavilions surrounded by green tiles and white walls with a height of ten feet, and you can faintly hear the sound of waterfalls flowing inside.

Lin Xi pushed open the wooden door and invited Su Yuan in.

Su Yuan looked at the small door, and could only let the two of them pass through side by side, which obviously couldn't be the gate of this big mansion.

"I'm not your distinguished guest? Just open the small door to welcome me?" Su Yuan wanted to know how big the house was.

Lin Xi: "If you don't mind, we can walk for half a day and invite you in from the main entrance."

"I mind."

Su Yuan simply stepped into the door, only to hear Lin Xi's low laughter coming from behind him.

The waist of the corridor is back, the eaves and teeth are pecked high, and there is a scene at every step. This place is much more magnificent than the Wangfu and Houfu she has seen before.

After seeing the two houses, Su Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately looked up at the sun in the sky.

At this time, the sun is almost at the mid-heaven, and its position is eastward.

When she met Lin Xi in the morning, the carriage drove for a long time, she even fell asleep, and even walked for a long time after getting off the carriage...

Seeing this, Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and asked Su Yuan, "Did you find it?"

"It's been one night already?" Su Yuan asked him in surprise.

Lin Xi agreed.

No wonder she felt a little hungry after waking up, but because she was always on guard against Lin Xi, she easily ignored this feeling.After getting off the car, because the surrounding forests were high and dense, it was difficult to tell the direction, and I couldn't detect it in time.

Su Yuan took a breath slowly, obviously enduring his anger.

She asked Lin Xi extremely dissatisfied, "Have you ever heard a sentence?"

Lin Xi looked at Su Yuan, waiting for her next words.

"One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers."

"Just this time, I won't hide anything from you in the future." Lin Xi explained, "Although one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, a male tiger and a female tiger can always be compatible."

Su Yuan snorted and stared at Lin Xi sharply, "It's not a lie, it's a joke. You see, I fell into your scheme and followed your arrangement step by step. I'm very happy, aren't I?"

After Lin Xi looked at Su Yuan quietly for a moment, he said, "I will only be happy if you promise me. As I said, only this time, there will be no next time."

Su Yuan noticed the gloomy wind blowing in Lin Xi's eyes, and knew that he was unhappy.

It's good to be unhappy, after suppressing first and then raising, he will get double happiness.And if you are too happy, you will have a day when extreme joy gives rise to sorrow.

"I'm tired and need to rest. Where is my room?" Su Yuan said in an unhappy tone, his face even more stinky.

Lin Xi originally planned to take Su Yuan there in person, but when he saw that she suddenly lost his temper, he asked his subordinates to lead Su Yuan there, and he left first.

Su Yuan looked at the man in red who was leading the way for her.The skin is very fair, and the figure is exactly the same as Lin Xi's. He looks ordinary, but his face is small.

Bai Yutang said, because the Disguise Technique can make a small face bigger, but it can't make a big face smaller.With a small face like a man in red clothes, it should be easier to put into various appearances.

Seeing the red dress he was wearing, Su Yuan had an idea, and asked the man, "Are you from the red team?"

The man in Zhu Yi paused slightly, without saying anything, and continued to lead the way for Su Yuan.

It turns out that the members of Ghost Sorrow's red team are all Lin Xi's substitutes.

Su Yuan continued to ask: "The green team is military, and the white team is civil, so is the red team both civil and military?"

The man in red clothes tensed his body again, and couldn't help speeding up his pace.

He brought Su Yuan to a courtyard with a waterfall, bowed, and left in a hurry without saying a word the whole time.

Su Yuan entered the courtyard and admired the courtyard built according to the mountain.There are about ten feet high stone steps on the west side. After climbing the stone steps, there is a spacious house.There is a stone platform on the east side of the house, and there is a small waterfall under the platform. The stream slopes down from the cracks in the stone under the platform and falls into a small pond at the bottom.There are bowl lotuses planted on the edge of the pond, the pink and white ones bloom just right, and a few red carp swim in it.

The downstream of the pond is a river channel paved with gravel, which leads to the outside of the courtyard. Weeping willows and exotic flowers and plants are planted beside the river channel.

On the stone platform on the waterfall, there is a stone table with several pots of chrysanthemums in full bloom. To the east of the stone platform grows a maple tree whose leaves are about to turn red, and its branches are stretched over the stone platform. Make the scenery simple and artistic.

After Su Yuan climbed the stone steps, he jumped onto the roof and looked down at the whole house.

The house is built in a mountain depression, surrounded by mountains from afar.No wonder the house takes half a day to walk from the small gate to the main gate, and it actually occupies the entire mountain depression. The mountains on all sides are built according to the trend, it is very grand.

Su Yuan also noticed that there were people dormant on a few big trees not far from the yard.It seemed that she was left alone in this courtyard, but in reality it was guarded like a cage.

The ease and freedom that Lin Xi talked about probably existed like farting.

Su Yuan jumped out of the room, opened the door and entered the room, and saw that the decorations in the room were very elegant, and the arrangement on the table was in line with her usual habits.There are also the colors of the quilts and gauze curtains, which are the same as those she had in Kaifeng Mansion.

This arrangement looked sweet, but it made her feel disgusting.It feels like there is a maggot staring at you, clinging to you, and calculating you all the time, intending to slowly control you.

Su Yuan sat by the window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, listening to the sound of rushing water, feeling that the scenery here is good everywhere, but the time is not right, the people are not right, it is all in vain.

Su Yuan took out a piece of brown pastry from his sleeve pocket.There is already a small half of the gap on this snack, exuding a honey-sweet fragrance, mixed with a little bit of musk, which smells especially tempting to drool.

Su Yuan broke off a small piece of snack, crushed it in his palm, and scattered it outside the window.

Ants were crawling under the window, and two big ants happily carried the snack crumbs away.

Su Yuan lay on the window sill, observing the ants.

"Miss Su, the lunch is ready, and the servant girls are here to help you take a bath and change clothes." Four servant girls stood at the door and shouted softly.

They didn't have Su Yuan's permission, so they didn't dare to enter the door without permission.

"Lunch is ready, what does it have to do with taking a bath and changing clothes? Shouldn't we talk about it after we've had a full meal?" Su Yuan asked back.

The maids agreed in a hurry, and set the meal immediately.

Dishes include crab stuffed with oranges, crispy roasted chicken, stir-fried beef tongue, braised bamboo shoots in oil, and group fresh soup.

"Miss Su, if you are not satisfied with these dishes, please just order them." The servant girl said respectfully.

"Very satisfied." Su Yuan first brought the bowl of dried shrimp chess pieces to him, picked a big mouthful of noodles and put them into his mouth.

Shrimp Zaoqizi is actually diced shrimp noodles, fresh and refreshing, and it is easier to eat when people feel sick.It will be more enjoyable to eat other dishes on the table after the appetite is opened.Soon, the table full of food was swept away by her.

Those who have experienced the end times know one truth best.That is, the more difficult the situation is and the closer to the enemy, the more important it is to eat and drink well, and to preserve your physical strength.

The maids were very surprised to see that Su Yuan ate all the food.After silently clearing away the dishes, at Su Yuan's request, he prepared hot water and a change of clothes.

When Lin Xi came out of the dark room, his subordinate Red Eleven immediately stepped forward to report.

"The subordinates have checked carefully, and the basket and vegetables are fine."

Lin Xi let out a "hmm" and wiped off the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

Red Eleven hurriedly took the dirty handkerchief with both hands, and continued to say to Lin Xi: "Miss Su has a good appetite, and she ate all the meals the Lord prepared for him."

Lin Xi was silent for a while, then chuckled.

"She's really different."

If you were an ordinary person, if you were suddenly brought into such a strange environment, you would definitely be too worried to eat.

"The people the lord likes are naturally different, extraordinary and incomparable." Red Eleven praised their cleverness, and they had already guessed the role of the Ghost Sorrow Red Team.

"Is she smarter than me?" Lin Xi asked.

Red Eleven hurriedly bowed and said: "The lord is knowledgeable and unparalleled in the world. No one in this world can match the lord. Although Miss Su is the best among women, she is still far behind the lord. Like this She is completely unable to guard against the hypnotic illusion. Now that she has stepped into this mansion, she is even more difficult to fly, and cannot escape the palm of the lord."

Lin Xi's praise for Red Eleven was not in vain, and he only warned him: "Don't underestimate her, don't slack off, taming a fierce tiger is far more troublesome than taming a fierce horse."

Red Eleven respectfully agreed.

After Su Yuan ate and slept, he planned to take a walk around the house.Seeing the maid, she obediently stood by the door and guarded, not intending to go with her, Su Yuan was even happier.

In this new purple dress, she wandered around the whole mansion.There are basically no guards to be seen along the way, and it is rare to meet servants.After finally meeting one, he would only salute Su Yuan respectfully, and would not say too many words.

Su Yuan even suspected that they didn't have tongues, so he grabbed one casually, checked the integrity of his tongue, and finally heard the whining sound from his throat, and then confirmed that these people were not dumb, but they really didn't speak casually.

Su Yuan didn't see Lin Xi at night, but it didn't matter, he went to sleep peacefully after eating.

Early the next morning, after having breakfast, Su Yuan continued to visit this mansion that she hadn't finished visiting yesterday.

After half an hour, Su Yuan finally reached the main hall.Generally, the main hall or front hall of the house is the most magnificent place, and the nearby houses are the places where the owner's family works or handles important affairs.

Seeing that there was still no one blocking him, Su Yuan wandered into the main hall, and then ran to a house behind the main hall.At this time, three people in Tsing Yi jumped down from the room one after another, preventing Su Yuan from entering.

Su Yuan didn't ask any further questions, she changed to another place and continued to visit, going deeper to the north of the house, and after entering a bamboo forest, she couldn't get out.She expected to know that there is a formation here, just like the bamboo forest outside the house.But this time without Lin Xi to guide her, she couldn't go out easily.

Su Yuan chose a bamboo that looked very good, bent the bamboo body, and then stepped on it, using the strength of the bamboo's rebound, to jump to another bamboo.Holding the bamboo in her hand, she bounced back and forth in the bamboo forest like a nimble monkey, and finally jumped out of the formation and arrived in front of a courtyard.

This yard is similar to the one she lives in, it is also built against the mountain, and has a waterfall, but the waterfall is bigger.The house looks very simple, with bamboo fences as walls and straw as roofs, but it looks more artistic.

Lin Xi paced out of the room, stood on the stone platform with his hands behind his back, and looked down at Su Yuan.

"How did you get here?"

"I'm full, so I went out for a stroll. Anyway, I'll get to know this house sooner or later, don't you mind?" Su Yuan didn't care about Lin Xi's answer at all. After she finished speaking, she walked to the waterfall to fetch water for fun.

Lin Xi walked down the stone steps, "I heard that you have a good appetite for all three meals."

"Well, this house has a nice view, and I'm in a good mood, and naturally my appetite is also good." Su Yuan replied.

"You have such a good appetite just after losing your temper with me, it shows that you don't care about me at all." Lin Xi sighed.

"You care about me, so you were so angry that you didn't eat three meals?" Su Yuan turned her head and asked back in surprise.

Lin Xi let out a "huh".

Su Yuan frowned suddenly. After she got closer to Lin Xi, she was very sure.

"You smell like blood."

Lin Xi smiled.

"In this house, is there anyone else you want to kill?" Su Yuan asked.

Lin Xi: "I have the habit of drinking raw deer blood."

Su Yuan couldn't help but think of the incident that Taoist Wang Chuan said.When Lin Xi was eight years old, he was lying in a pool of blood with several dead deer.Afterwards, various clues showed that Lin Xi probably killed those deer with his mouth.

But Su Yuan didn't think it was deer blood. She was too familiar with the bloody smell of human blood, so her judgment should not be wrong.

"Pricking blood and drinking deer blood can make the skin plump and have the effect of strengthening the body. Is this your method of preserving beauty?"

Lin Xi shook his head slightly, "There are more ways to maintain beauty than these, I will teach you slowly later."

Su Yuan nodded on the surface, but in his heart he didn't want to understand at all.She still let the wrinkles crawl on her face comfortably, and it would be better to die of old age naturally.

Now that the night has passed, but there is no movement outside, Su Yuan secretly prepared the worst plan in his heart.

"There is a room in the front yard, and your subordinates won't let me in."

Su Yuan was about to hypocritically ask Lin Xi if he didn't trust her, when she heard Lin Xi speak out first, calling Red Eleven to deal with her.

"I have already ordered my servants to come in and out with you." Lin Xi explained, "I am very sincere to you."

Su Yuan didn't stop Red Eleven from killing people. To her, three deaths meant that she lost three enemies, and by the way, she could help her gain power.

Su Yuan jumped onto the roof, sat down on the roof, looked at the slanting sun, and wondered whether he should wait uncertainly, or take the initiative to attack.

Lin Xi also jumped into the room afterwards, but he just stood up and did not sit down like Su Yuan.

Su Yuan took this opportunity to look at Lin Xi's skills, his movements were nimble and light, especially when he landed on the tiles, he was as silent as a feather falling.

This is really in line with the saying, 'There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people'.Lin Xi's martial arts is actually not inferior to hers.

This is a bit of a hassle.

This guy is not only good at kung fu, but also intelligent and knowledgeable. He knows mechanism formations, illusion and other unknown skills.If she directly competes in force, she has almost no chance of winning.

Not to mention that this is the enemy's comfort zone, Lin Xi's subordinates are dormant everywhere, and the mechanism formation outside the house is like a copper wall, locking her tightly in this cage.

The blood in Su Yuan's body was gradually boiling, and every pore was screaming.

It was so exciting, she hadn't faced such a challenge in a long time!

Su Yuan rested his chin in his hand, looked at Lin Xi with bright eyes, and there was an indescribable excitement in his expression.

Seeing Su Yuan's expression, Lin Xi felt very familiar.Because when he first discovered Su Yuan, he had almost the same look on his face.

"It seems that you already know something about me." Lin Xi took advantage of the situation and asked Su Yuan, "Then would you like to be with me?"

For ordinary people, it seems a bit crazy to ask such a question after being together for a day.But Lin Xi knew that Su Yuan was of the same kind as himself, and when the other party sensed him, he would definitely be like him, feeling like a fire burning violently when meeting oil.They are a match made in heaven, destined to be together.

"If we were meant to be together—"

Su Yuan's words just spoke Lin Xi's heart, which made Lin Xi's heart skip a beat.

"Why don't we come earlier, and I really want to know your real identity earlier. So, when will we get married?"

"When do you want?" Lin Xi was very happy that Su Yuan recognized him, in fact, he was more impatient than Su Yuan.

"Three days later, we are different from those common people, why should we follow the common rituals, how about drinking blood as an alliance? Let's drink each other's blood."

Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled, feeling even more satisfied, and promised Su Yuan, "Okay."
