no puppet

At night, the Biyu Mansion was heavily guarded, there were no less than a dozen barriers inside and outside, and the gates and walls were guarded by patrols. From a rough glance, it can be seen that Cheng Rong and the two families each occupy half.

"It's just a single trial of a seal, so there is such a big battle... Others don't know, they think some monsters and ghosts are coming!"

Xie Hengyan was far away from the wall of the backyard, only listening to the discussion of the people in the Rong Mansion:

"What do you know? He is not the only one they want to arrest. It is said that this bastard has been wandering around for a year, and he has an unclear relationship with Fang Yan. His superiors are waiting to interrogate him! "

"Really? You said Fang Yan... Isn't Fang Yan dead?"

When the words came out, they slapped them with a fan, and then roared fiercely: "They are all talking about things here, do you want to die?"

After being reprimanded for a while, everyone dared not discuss any more in private, and turned their heads to their respective posts, shrinking their heads and spreading out.

At this time, Xie Hengyan shrank back to the corner of the wall and listened in silence for a while, waiting for the noisy discussion of the guards to gradually subside, then poked out his head tremblingly, and was about to climb over the wall and enter the backyard, but unexpectedly There was originally a layer of enchantment here, and if a puppet enters rashly, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of others.

Xie Hengyan tried to click on the token that he had just stolen, but it was useless, thinking that those princes and brothers are all performing their own duties, and they are in charge of different corners outside the Biyu Mansion, and just using their belongings will not be of much use.

So Xie Hengyan stood where he was and waited silently for a while.Sure enough, it didn't take long, a man squeezed out from the gap in the wall of the backyard, and at that time his body was filled with the smell of alcohol. Relying on his hands to walk around the perimeter of the fence - it seems that he is another dude who left his job without permission and sneaked out to drink.

Xie Hengyan saw that there was another folding fan on his waist, and another token tied on the side. The spells on the card were even clearly engraved stroke by stroke. If he guessed correctly, it was probably used to enter and exit the enchantment within the backyard.

Time was running out, and Xie Hengyan didn't have time to think about it. The moment the man stepped out of the back door, Xie Hengyan waved his hand forward, wrapped his arm around the drunkard's neck, and twisted it violently outward—— After a while, there was only a muffled groan, and the person had passed out on the ground, and was so drunk that he was unconscious for the time being.

Xie Hengyan took his token out of the way, aimed the spell at the opening of the barrier, and turned into the backyard without hesitation.When Fang landed, he saw that there were still guards sent by the Rong Mansion around, everyone carrying a lantern, patrolling in and out around the old corridor in the courtyard.

Xie Hengyan lived in Biyu Mansion for a period of time before, even though Yin Chu carefully hid him deep in the room cabinet at that time, there was no guarantee that he would not come into contact with the outside air.

Although Cheng Daofeng's mansion is old, in the final analysis, the family used to have a great reputation. This old house has been passed down from generation to generation by the owners of the family, and it will not completely decline when it is in Cheng Daofeng's hands.The distance between the courtyards and the houses is particularly wide. On one side is the bedroom and study room where Cheng Daofeng lived alone, including the dark room and warehouse where various files are stored, on the other side is the residence of their three brothers and sisters, and the rest is the mansion. The dwellings of the servants are monotonous and simple, but they do not appear to be shabby.

Xie Hengyan went around the corridor and searched one by one, but did not find that there was a prison for interrogating prisoners in the Biyu Mansion. While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a few patrolling guards talking in the corner:

"Is that kid awake?"

"Bringing him into the mansion yesterday morning, the young master got upright and beat him to death. He was listless until night, as if he was dead... We can't afford it if the boss blames it. !"

Xie Hengyan's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to step forward to listen more carefully, when someone came from behind and patted him heavily on the shoulder, shouting: "Hey!"

Xie Hengyan's pupils shrank suddenly, and when he turned around, he was one of the gossiping people just now. That person was holding a lantern in his hand, and the blinding and scorching light hit Xie Hengyan's face, illuminating his pale complexion. shine.

"You kid, look at the face... Which side do you care about?" The man stretched out his hand, pinched Xie Hengyan's side cheek, pulled it, and asked suspiciously, "Why doesn't it look like I haven't seen it before! "

Xie Hengyan froze obviously, and then faltered: "I..."

"Oh!" The man smiled mysteriously, then made a treacherous expression of unknown meaning, squinted his eyes, stared straight at Xie Hengyan and said, "I see!"

Xie Hengyan panicked: "What do you know?"

"Good guy, you go and steal wine and eat alone!"

After saying this, several other people around him also gathered around one after another, complaining one by one that he was not loyal enough, why didn't he take the big guy with him for drinking secretly.This time Xie Hengyan was a false alarm. While wiping off the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, he pretended to explain that he was also afraid of being bumped into by others, so he sneaked out to drink alone.

Sure enough, those gang of lawless dandies who were used to spending time in the city of Ping Dynasty had nothing good to do, so they suddenly moved to a simple and clean rural place like Feng Town. Somewhat uncomfortable.

Nowadays it is rare to see Xie Hengyan who is honest and easy to bully, so he just thinks he is a silly boy from some side house, so a circle of people laughed around the puppet, and finally the leader waved his big hand and sent today's unfinished task Tell him——Xie Hengyan didn't expect that they actually asked him to deliver food to Yin Chu!

"It's ready, the amount for the day, you can't give too much, and you can't give too little." The leader took the tray and put it in Xie Hengyan's hand, and said, "You must watch him finish eating, so that people don't starve to death." Now, the responsibility is ours, you know?"

Xie Hengyan said "yes", then looked down at the plate of rotten food, there was no oil or water, and there were a few flies flying sporadically on it, buzzing and buzzing, accompanied by an indescribable pungent smell.

It seems...they didn't intend to make Yin Zhuo feel better.

Xie Hengyan took a deep breath and was led by those people all the way through the narrow and dark corridor, but finally stopped in front of the bedroom door where Yin Chun lived. The leader said to Xie Hengyan: "It's here, don't go in , just watch at the door."

"I know, I know."

Xie Hengyan responded in this way, and after everyone around him dispersed, he finally couldn't hold on anymore, he staggered and knelt down, facing the closed door of Yinzhu's room, and after a long time passed, he raised his eyes Come, move your forehead forward, and press against the cold and hard door.

At that time, he couldn't see Yin Chun inside, and Yin Chun couldn't see him either. The patrol lights around him flickered and dimmed each other. Xie Hengyan could only kneel and sit quietly in front of the door, waiting until the gap between other people in the mansion gradually moving away. Standing up with great difficulty, relying on the memory left at the beginning, he walked along the door panel to the window of Yinzhu's room.

"Print, print..."

Xie Hengyan bent down slightly, lay on the window sill, and said cautiously: "Yin Zhu, are you okay?"

Initially there was no response.Xie Hengyan opened his eyes wide and stared fixedly at the narrow gap between the windows until finally there was a slight movement in the room. He heard the crisp sound of the shackles colliding with each other. In the darkness, Yin Zhen seemed to carry his inherent Familiar with the breath, he slowly approached in the direction of Xie Hengyan.

"Yin Chun!" Xie Hengyan whispered with red eyes, "Are you injured? Did they hit you... Are you alright?"

There was a long silence, with only the slight sound of wind blowing in my ears.Xie Hengyan swallowed, and when he was about to continue asking questions, Neijian Yinzhu suddenly spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, mixed with indescribable fatigue and weakness.

"...Why are you here?" Yin Chun asked.

Xie Hengyan straightened her back and kept approaching the window: "I'm here to save you!"

After the silence this time, there was only a helpless sigh from Yin Chun.

"You said it, we're going to die together!" Xie Hengyan said stubbornly, "You've broken your promise, and I won't listen to you anymore."

On the other end, Yin Zhu still didn't speak.

There is a wall between the two, no one can see who looks like who, but Xie Hengyan still opened his mouth and said to Yin Chun: "You still say you love me, so why do you push me away?"

"Yan Yan." After a while, Yin Chun used his hoarse voice to talk to Xie Hengyan through the window, "I said, I will come back to you when I finish dealing with the matter at hand."

"You won't." Xie Hengyan said, "Don't think that I don't know, you have already made up your mind to die, why are you talking about looking for me back?"

Yin Chun did not say anything, and the two fell into a deadlock of silence again.At this time, Xie Hengyan reached out to the window sill and said, "Let's go, I'll rescue you."

"Yan Yan, be obedient." Yin Chun whispered, "No matter how you came here, leave here now, before they find out."

"Yin Chun, I'm not leaving." Xie Hengyan said, "Tell me first, what is your reason? If you just want to know your past urgently, there are many truths. Although I can't explain it clearly, at least I can guide you... Anything you need, I can do."

Yin Chun said in a deep voice: "No, Xie Hengyan, I didn't want to see you take such a risk. Especially the truth of some things, you can find the so-called direction by not just relying on the two of us to find out, Yanyan you..."

Just in the middle of the conversation, the wooden door of the other room creaked, and was suddenly pushed open by a subtle force for no reason.

Xie Hengyan suddenly fell silent, without further words, Yin Chun also left the window, and reminded Xie Hengyan: "Hide it well, be careful not to be discovered."

Xie Hengyan panicked for a while, unable to find a place to hide, and finally slipped on the sole of her foot, turned over and slipped onto the roof, curled up in the dark night, held her breath, and dared not make a sound for a long time.

At the same moment, outside the door of Yin Zhu's room, which was rarely visited by anyone, suddenly there was an old figure with a hunched waist, even a somewhat familiar look.

Yin Zhen and Xie Hengyan probably never expected that in the middle of the night, almost all the guards of the Chengrong family would appear in the Biyu Mansion for no reason during the slack time when they were secretly resting...

It turned out to be the former housekeeper, Huo Shitang.

Shouldn't he be in Rongfu?

Yin Chun couldn't help but began to question, until Huo Shitang completely opened the door, and then approached with gentle steps, Yin Chun immediately showed a full vigilance look, and tentatively called out:

"……housekeeper?"

Huo Shitang didn't give any answer. On his face full of vicissitudes, there were already countless fine lines left by the years.He stepped over the threshold, and the scattered moonlight outside the house illuminated his sunken cloudy eyes until they shone slightly.

"I know what's on your mind."

After the silence, Huo Shitang finally opened his mouth and said to Yin Chun, "You are wondering why I am here."

Yin Chun pursed his thin lips slightly, but didn't talk to him much.

"To be honest. Tomorrow morning, your master, the elder of the Rong Mansion, will rush to the Bi Yu Mansion." Huo Shitang's voice was very cold, without any trace of superfluous emotion, "I came here just to advance Bring you a message."

Yin Chun said dumbly, "What message?"

Huo Shitang remained silent, he only reached into his sleeve, and after a while, he took out a piece of tattered cloth the size of a palm.

Xie Hengyan was still wondering, what did he do with this kind of thing?It wasn't until Huo Shitang lit a candlestick in front of the table that it illuminated a small character embroidered with fine stitches on the top of the rag. Xie Hengyan couldn't see it clearly, but Yin Chu could just see it clearly through this angle. Chu.

It was an almost faded, but stroke-by-stroke recognizable character "卯".
