Take the sword out of Yanjing

One can speak Daqin official dialect.

"Still listening?" Zhao Luoyi asked impatiently.

"Listen, Master, continue." Li Meng put his cold hands on Zhao Luoyi's shoulders, pinching them back and forth.

Zhao Luoyi snorted twice, and continued, "Wen Xu is a good man. With Hei Mudan's insistence, he changed the car and horse shop into the current Shifang Building."

"..." Li Meng's hands paused, "Master, the rhythm of your storytelling is not right, I'm not ready yet."

Zhao Luoyi patted him on the back of the head, then turned to caress Li Meng's head, his hair was soft, Zhao Luoyi took a deep breath, the cold air of the twelfth lunar month was refreshing.

"In the beginning, Shifanglou was built for Hei Mudan alone. Wen Xu has great martial arts skills and has some experience in business for many years. The carriage and horse dealership is still open, but in private, it is turned to spying on information. At that time, the main object of surveillance was the Daqin Palace."

Li Meng was taken aback, and swallowed nervously: "Now also..."

"About a dozen years ago, someone offered ten thousand taels of gold to buy the head of the current Holy Majesty."

"The emperor is still alive and well..." Li Meng hesitated to speak.

"Yes, the mission failed. And since then, it has aroused the vigilance of the occupants, and all the people we sneaked in have been removed. Shifanglou never had any idea about the palace. But when Black Peony was there, Shifanglou was built. , not to assassinate the emperor at that time."

Counting from the year, Li Meng quickly understood that the emperor at that time was not the current emperor, but the late emperor. This mission has been planned for more than ten years.

"You will never guess what Shifanglou was originally used for." Zhao Luoyi ruffled Li Meng's hair.

"Surveillance of the imperial palace..." Li Meng pondered for a while, and said, "Black Peony is from Nanmei, is she a secret agent of Nanmei, is it to obtain information that is beneficial to Nanmei... But Nanmei is a small place, and it is easy to defend and difficult to defend." Attacks are mostly swamps, unlike Dongyi and Beidi, the imperial court's attitude towards Nanmei has always been non-confrontational. The first emperor had a plan to recruit security, and now..." The dog emperor almost blurted out the words, but fortunately Li Meng restrained himself, paused, and continued: "The emperor also sent officials to call for safety once. Later, during the civil strife in Zhong'an, after the plan was aborted, no officials mentioned it again."

Zhao Luoyi took a meaningful look at Li Meng, lying in Zhao Luoyi's arms and sleeping warmly, Li Meng became more informal, and put one leg on Zhao Luoyi's.

"You decide."

Li Meng said embarrassingly: "When my father was here, I occasionally heard it mentioned by my brothers, Master continued..."

"Foot." Zhao Luoyi said coldly.

Li Meng didn't move his legs away immediately, his hands wandered aimlessly around Zhao Luoyi's warm waist and abdomen, and asked, "Master, do you like men or women?"

"..." Zhao Luoyi said, "It has nothing to do with you."

"Why is it irrelevant? You already kissed me!" Li Meng blushed, and blurted out what was in his heart, "I'm not like you, I haven't kissed anyone before!"

"..." After a while, a heavy voice came from Zhao Luoyi's chest, "Me neither."

Li Meng hurriedly asked: "Really?"

"Go down!" Zhao Luoyi pushed Li Meng who was lying on his chest aside, "It's dead again."

"Hey." Li Mengping was lying beside Zhao Luoyi, his right leg was still on Zhao Luoyi's lap, and the young man's thoughts came alive, "No one in the building is marrying a wife, otherwise, Master, feel wronged and be my wife."

"..." Zhao Luoyi said coldly: "Young Master Jiao, who ran outside the door and cried until midnight after a kiss, I can't afford to marry him, it's difficult."

Li Meng turned over and hung Zhao Luoyi's arm, "It's not difficult to do, it's not difficult to do it, if you don't believe me, try it!"

Zhao Luoyi smiled: "Climb!"

Li Meng touched Zhao Luoyi's Adam's apple, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, after you teach me, I will also be your helper, and we will stay together forever."

"In the past two years, I was not in the building, and your second uncle accompanied you a lot. You like your second uncle."

Li Meng pinched Zhao Luoyi's warm arm muscles blankly, not understanding what it meant, and said stubbornly: "That's not the same thing, no one treats me well when I leave home, people treat me, I treat others, my second mother Said."

"Has your second uncle ever kissed you?"

"No, I told you that you were the first one. I frightened you." Li Meng said dissatisfied, "In the past, you and Xiao Changchu had an old relationship. There was Qin Zhenzhen on the Yongyin River, and there was Xinniang in the Qiyang brothel. , who knows who else is there. If you like women and kiss me as a woman, wouldn't I be at a loss? "

Zhao Luoyi didn't speak.

Li Meng was anxious: "You don't really think of me as a woman, do you? I don't look like a woman..."

Zhao Luoyi patted Li Meng's dog's head reassuringly, "You're still young."

"It's not young. When my father passed away, he was going to marry me."

"Master forgot, you are a child of everyone." It is a custom in Daqin that only in wealthy families, men can marry at the age of 13. Ordinary civilians can also marry wives at that time, but they usually have insufficient furniture, and they have to wait until they reach the age of sixteen. marry a wife.

"Anyway, I only have you." Li Meng said pitifully.

Li Meng was spoiled and spoiled, and he has suffered a lot in the past two years, but he is not like the dull temperament Zhao Luoyi cultivated since he was a child. Now that he regards Zhao Luoyi as the closest person, he will naturally grow close.

Even on a winter night, Zhao Luoyi's body and mind, which had been in darkness for a long time, seemed to be illuminated by a ray of light.

Probably because they were too close, Zhao Luoyi felt an indescribable warmth in his heart, as if he could really feel the two hearts beating at the same time, even the rhythm was the same.

Perhaps this is what Sun Tianyin said, the effect of "same plant" mother and child Gu twins.

"Master, otherwise, you can kiss me again." Li Meng said enthusiastically, pushing his mouth upwards.

When the warm lips touched Zhao Luoyi's chin, he suddenly came back to his senses, quickly grabbed Li Meng, pushed him away, and shouted: "Don't mess around!"

"You can kiss me casually, why don't you let me kiss casually!" In fact, there was a hasty kiss that night, it was not a kiss at all, Li Meng was the most curious moment for young people, and it was necessary to speak now. Want to try again.

And Zhao Luoyi secretly had a headache, her temples throbbed, and she regretted that she didn't hold back for a moment and a half that night, and acted rashly.

Li Meng turned his back and stopped listening to the story.

"Li Meng." Zhao Luoyi called him by name.

Li Meng didn't pay any attention.

Zhao Luoyi sighed helplessly, grabbed Li Meng's shoulders, and slowly turned him around.

Li Meng's heart beat violently. He had never been so bold and self-willed before, and he was not afraid that Zhao Luoyi would kill him at any time. He even forgot that the one in front of him was one of the four great killers in Shifanglou. Get a taste of that intimacy.

What's more, there is no one else, and the master and apprentice are facing each other, so there is nothing shameful.Thinking about what Sun Tianyin's master and apprentice did, he felt that it was nothing, and wanted to confirm whether he really liked Zhao Luoyi.

"Aren't you weird, aren't you angry that I kissed you?" Zhao Luoyi said softly, his voice was low and very manly, and one hand slid down Li Meng's waistline.

"I thought you liked women."

"Maybe." Zhao Luoyi said impatiently, "I haven't tried it."

Li Meng felt Zhao Luoyi's rough palm touching his back through the underwear, the fabric rubbed against the skin very well, especially he could clearly feel Zhao Luoyi's strong palm, which made him feel very safe.

"Master..." Li Meng let out a hot breath.

"Huh?" Zhao Luoyi put his hand in from Li Meng's collar, rubbing his warm skin together.

"……what!"

"..." Zhao Luoyi was startled by Li Meng's sudden cry, and left his hands from Li Meng's body.

"No, you are too straightforward!" Li Meng said anxiously.

"Then what do you want?" Zhao Luoyi felt a headache.

"Give me a kiss." Li Meng wriggled in Zhao Luoyi's arms carelessly.

"...True relative?" Zhao Luoyi asked.

Before Li Meng could answer, their lips touched, and Li Meng's mind went blank for a moment, like a spring thunder flickering in the distance, slowly approaching.

Zhao Luoyi forced himself to be serious, the more he wanted to relax, the tighter he hugged Li Meng's waist, and the two of them leaned against each other, feeling the reaction of the other's body.

Li Meng held his breath and concentrated, only one thought: Young Master was suffocated to death.

After a while, Zhao Luoyi nervously left Li Meng's lips, raised her body, and looked down at Li Meng from above, as if relieved: "I kissed you."

Li Meng suddenly took a breath.

"..." Zhao Luoyi calmed down his apprentice expressionlessly.

Li Meng gasped for a while before saying, "It doesn't seem like that."

Zhao Luoyi frowned: "Do you know what it's like?"

Li Meng's insistence was wrong, Zhao Luoyi felt her forehead beating, and pressed Li Meng's shoulder, "Then what do you say?"

An eerie silence flowed between the two of them, Li Meng thought for a long time, and then choked out a helpless sentence——

"I do not know either."

Zhao Luoyi lost her temper completely. After lying down, she stretched out her arm.

Li Meng raised his head consciously and rested his head on Zhao Luoyi's arm.

Both of them felt that they had completed a remarkable ceremony, and this ceremony became an unspeakable secret, deeply buried in the hearts of both master and apprentice.

"Master..."

Zhao Luoyi felt sleepy, so she mumbled a "hmm" from her nasal cavity.

"You said that Black Peony is not a spy, so why is she monitoring the palace?"

"Because the dog emperor lied to her."

"..." Li Meng's title for the current emperor was occupied by his master, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Is it the first emperor?"

"Well, the first emperor promised that as long as she builds a complete intelligence mechanism for him, he will accept her as a noble concubine." Zhao Luoyi's breathing was heavy, as if this memory weighed him down, "Black Peony is the imperial concubine. The intelligence agency that was established was called Suling Pavilion. This matter is confidential and rarely known. It was still in good operation until Hei Mudan defected, and it eliminated many hidden dangers for the late emperor. Give it to someone else."

"Old... the dog emperor took Black Peony back to be a concubine?" As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Li Meng realized that if he took him back, he would naturally not give birth to the child outside.

Zhao Luoyi didn't know why he didn't speak for a long time. Li Meng almost thought he was asleep, and he couldn't help closing and opening his eyes because of sleepiness. Only then did he hear Zhao Luoyi say: "He sent someone to hunt down Hei Mudan. Before Wen Xu took her in, she Has been hunted down for more than half a month, hiding in Tibet, almost killed two people."

Li Meng originally wanted to ask who the Black Peony's child belonged to, but he already had a guess in his mind. The Shifang Building was originally used to monitor the imperial palace.Before she became pregnant, Black Peony served the imperial court, and the late emperor also promised her the position of imperial concubine. After she became pregnant, she was hunted down, and it was the late emperor who personally ordered her.The two were so entangled, and Zhao Luoyi called the late emperor the "dog emperor", it is likely that Black Mudan fled with the late emperor's seed and gave birth to Zhao Luoyi.

Li Meng didn't speak, and put his head in Zhao Luoyi's arms, like a dog begging for comfort.

Zhao Luoyi hugged Li Meng.

Both of them kept silent until they fell asleep.

There was a hasty knock on the door, Li Meng opened his eyes in a daze, and found himself on the bed, Zhao Luoyi was standing in front of the bed, holding the sword in his hand.

A silent shadow looms over the pane.

There was another knock on the door.

Accompanied by Huo Lianyun's gentle voice: "Fourth brother, open the door."

The author has something to say: hurry up and accept it Ahh, the cub's vitality is almost exhausted! ! !

☆, pig cage

Zhao Luoyi turned her head and glanced at Li Meng. Li Meng was huddled under the quilt, revealing two dark eyes.

"How did you come?"

Inside the door, Zhao Luoyi opened his large martial robe, and the scars across his muscular chest were shocking. He stared at Huo Lianyun coldly, not intending to let anyone enter the room.

Huo Lianyun's clothes and hair were already soaked, the hand holding the sword had a tiger's mouth split open, and the green robe was stained with a damp dark color.

The door was closed behind Zhao Luoyi, Huo Lianyun frowned slightly, but said nothing, followed Zhao Luoyi to the corridor, and couldn't help but said: "This is not a place to talk..."

"Li Meng has fallen asleep." Zhao Luoyi said lightly.

"According to the right..."

Zhao Luoyi glanced at Huo Lianyun, the extremely oppressive voice made Huo Lianyun speechless for a while, and could only listen to him with wide eyes, "Wait for me here."

The cold wind poured in from the collar of his robe, chilling Huo Lianyun's heart.The brass bell under the octagonal eaves was blown to pieces. Huo Lianyun held the wet hair on his forehead, flaring his nose, brushed the hair back, and combed it neatly with his fingers.From the sharp and narrow corners of his eyes, the eyes peeping at Zhao Luoyi's back were cold and stern, implying some kind of unwillingness.

Zhao Luoyi opened another room for Huo Lianyun, next to the room where he and Li Meng lived.At this moment, the rain had stopped outside, but it rained in the first half of the night. Seeing Huo Lianyun shivering from the cold, Zhao Luoyi went downstairs to ask for a brazier.

He was sitting on a single stool, and while he was lighting a brazier, he could hear the sound of water.

"As soon as you entered the city, you were followed by people. You are the only one who dares to swagger and live in the inn."

The neck was flushed after being rubbed with hot water, Huo Lianyun opened his martial robe, and on his lean frame, his muscles were humbly crawling, unlike his usual laughing, his expression was very serious.

"When are you leaving for Wang's Village? It's not that you, master and apprentice, are planning to go on a tour...Leave Lord Hou in Fengyang, wait for half a month for you, and hide in Tibet, life will be difficult."

After wiping his body, Huo Lianyun sat on the edge of the bed, biting the bandage between his teeth, wrapping the bandage around his right hand with his left hand so that it was not easy to tie, and gave way to Zhao Luoyi.

Zhao Luoyi got up and went to bandage him. This kind of thing often happened when the two partnered together. In Zhao Luoyi's eyes, they were all minor injuries. If it was him, he would ignore it at all.

"I can do it alone." Zhao Luoyi said coldly.

Huo Lianyun was so angry that he laughed instead, "I've been with you for three months, and you just repay me like this? Forgot the teacher's teaching? If you walk together as a partner, you must put each other's life first."

"I haven't forgotten." Zhao Luoyi kept sweeping the door impatiently.

"Are the Nanmei people still chasing you?" Huo Lianyun asked casually.

"Get rid of it." Zhao Luoyi said.

"What are you going to Nanzhou for? Has the matter been completed?"

"It's half done." Zhao Luoyi didn't answer why, and had to take a detour to Nanzhou first.

Huo Lianyun's eyes flashed, and he let out a sigh of relief, "That's good, the boss flew a letter a few days ago, he knew you and I were together, let me convey it for you, you can read it first."

The envelope was kept close to Huo Lianyun's body, the letter paper was not wet, Zhao Luoyi held it between his fingers, and was rarely moved.

"you have seen?"

Huo Lianyun nodded, "I don't know when you will arrive in Fengyang, so I had to take a look first. Xiao Changchu's people have been lingering around since they lost you. They stared at me, but I also stared at them. So when you go into the city, they stare at you." If you want to help me find you instead, they didn't get any cheap after a fight, but it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, just get rid of them as soon as possible."

Zhao Luoyi put the letter away carefully, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Let's leave now."

I wanted to wait for Zhao Luoyi to come back and say a few words before going to sleep. The bed was warm, but Li Meng fell asleep at some point, and was dragged up by Zhao Luoyi to change his clothes and shoes.Zhao Luoyi couldn't bear to wake him up, so he simply did it all by himself. He didn't fully wake up until the water was so cold that he shivered when he washed Li Meng's face.

The three of them set off in the middle of the night, Li Meng was hugged and sat in front of Zhao Luoyi, and no one spoke, he fell asleep leaning against Zhao Luoyi after sitting for a while, and was still on the horse at dawn.

A village and town appeared ahead, and the smoke from cooking rose above the village.

Zhao Luoyi carried Li Meng off the horse, Li Meng took two steps, his legs were trembling, he barely sat on the bench, and accidentally sat down on the ground.

Huo Lianyun laughed out loud.

The horse shoveled back.

Li Meng got up embarrassingly, patted his buttocks, and woke up seriously.

Three bowls of beef noodles, steaming hot and fragrant.

Zhao Luoyi picked the meat into Li Meng's bowl and ate the noodles.

"Shall we go to Wangjiazhuang?" Li Meng lowered his voice and asked Zhao Luoyi.

Zhao Luoyi just ate the noodles, didn't look at him, said "um" absent-mindedly, and after a while, said, "Your grand master is sick, finish your work as soon as possible, and go back to Ruizhou to see him." Looking up, he saw Li Meng's chin with noodles hanging , Wiped it off for him casually.

"You master and apprentice seem to be getting closer." Huo Lianyun said rather uncomfortably.

"I envy you to take one too." One side of Zhao Luoyi's mouth was slightly curved, and that smile was fleeting.

Li Meng's ears were hot, and he ate his food with his head down. Zhao Luoyi still let Zhao Luoyi carry him on the horse, and followed his master and uncle on the road.

At noon, the route of the three of them deviated from the official road, turned onto a secluded path, waded through the shallows, and passed through two villages and towns. It is looming in the middle, and the scale is not small.

"It's here?" Feeling Zhao Luoyi reining in his horse, Li Meng rubbed his eyes and looked around, feeling something.

"Sleep for a while." Zhao Luoyi casually patted his head.

Huo Lianyun watched from the side, mockingly said: "Have you slept enough?"

Li Meng didn't wake up, didn't listen to Huo Lianyun's words, followed the horse and continued on the road, blinking his eyes to clear his mind.

It rained for several days in a row in the mountains, the air was fresh and humid, shrouded in green mist, quiet and deep.

After walking a few steps, Li Meng realized that some people who were squatting at the door of their houses did not eat, and the villagers who were busy weaving bamboo baskets were secretly paying attention to the three of them, although they kept fingers.

Li Meng pulled the corner of Zhao Luoyi's robe, and Zhao Luoyi lowered his body.

Li Meng whispered in his ear, "Why are they all looking at us..."

"It's okay, this kind of village rarely comes from outsiders throughout the year, but whenever someone comes, as soon as they enter the village entrance, the whole village will know about it soon." Zhao Luoyi explained, handing out the scabbard, Li Meng understood, and grabbed his master's hand Looking around the scabbard, I feel that the folk customs here are simple and simple, like an uncivilized primitive tribe.There are huge bull-head masks hanging on the mud walls of some houses, which are painted black and painted in strange patterns with cinnabar.

Finally, a fat lady with a blue floral turban on a white background came, pushed the basket in her hand towards Zhao Luoyi, and looked at him eagerly: "Buy!"

Huo Lianyun took out the broken silver, the fat lady frowned displeasedly, waved her hands and said: "Many, too many!"

Huo Lianyun said with a smile: "I cut clothes for my aunt, I want to inquire about something."

The aunt looked back and forth vigilantly at Huo Lianyun and Zhao Luoyi, and finally her eyes fell on Li Meng, her expression eased, she pointed her face with her hand, and said in a blunt official way: "Buy...Feng's family, buy your husband." Pointing at Li Meng again , "He is suitable and can be sold for a good price."

Before Huo Lianyun could speak, the aunt left, looking back as she walked, waving at the onlookers to signal that they were all right.

Zhao Luoyi dragged the scabbard, and said indifferently: "Did you hear me, I can sell you here for a good price."

Li Meng's vest was pushed, and Huo Lianyun also said: "Stay here and be the son-in-law of the Feng family, it's hard to run around with your master!"

Zhao Luoyi pulled Li Meng back, as if Huo Lianyun was bullying someone, Huo Lianyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and went to the street to ask someone.

On the other hand, Zhao Luoyi and Li Meng held hands leisurely, sat under the big locust tree with lush branches and leaves, went to the street to buy a bowl of buckwheat noodles for Li Meng, and motioned him to eat.

Li Meng was sweating profusely from eating, and Huo Lianyun came, holding a bamboo basket full of it.

"Dongtou, next to the three-story wooden building where the village chief lives, is Wangjiazhuang." Turning around, he saw Zhao Luoyi hiding a bamboo stick behind his back, smelling the aroma of food again, and saw someone frying insects on the street.Huo Lianyun was a young master, traveled all over the world, hadn't eaten anything, but when he came back after asking for directions, he saw that both the master and the apprentice were eating nonsense, and immediately became angry. When he walked over, he kicked Zhao Luoyi's leg, "What do you want to eat?" , when the time comes for Wangjiazhuang to have nothing to eat!"

While walking, Zhao Luoyi said to Li Meng, "Don't pay attention to him."

"..." Huo Lianyun rolled his eyes in his heart, "Master Hou, I'm not deaf!"

"Oh." Zhao Luoyi stopped talking.

The cold scabbard was already hot from Li Meng's grip. He felt that Zhao Luoyi had become a little more interesting, so he felt very comfortable and followed him closely.

To the east, the three-storey wooden building is very conspicuous in the mountain depression full of bungalows. Although a stone gate next to it is narrow, but because the village is dominated by wooden houses and tile-roofed houses, the stone gate with a height of more than ten meters suddenly rises, which attracts people's attention. .

There is only a sunken stone carving on the door, the word "king" flying like a dragon and a phoenix dancing.

There were traces of swords and swords on both sides of the stone gate. Zhao Luoyi went to touch it with his fingers, and said to Huo Lianyun: "Old ones. Fengyang City is hunting for the heirs of Wangjiazhuang. The officers and soldiers should have come, but they didn't destroy the gate. Maybe there are still people." Stay." Then he turned his head and knocked on the door, knocked several times, but no one answered.

Huo Lianyun walked over. Although it was a stone door, there was still a wooden door in the middle. He put one eye on the crack of the door and watched for a while, signaling Zhao Luoyi to back away.

Huo Lianyun pulled out the knife and inserted the blade into the crack of the door. There was a heavy "click click" sound of the wooden peg, and after a while, there was the sound of the wooden peg falling to the ground behind the door.

"Okay." Huo Lianyun was relieved, but when he turned around, he saw that both the master and the apprentice had disappeared.

"...??" Huo Lianyun looked at the unfamiliar villagers in front of him. The two villagers held farm tools in their hands, a hoe and a sickle. Not far away, someone yelled something and slapped on the door of the village chief's house next door.

The villagers looked unhappy and looked at Huo Lianyun covetously.

"Steal!" One of them said stiffly.

Huo Lianyun thought it was funny, pointed at himself, shook his head and frowned, "About me?"

The hoe approached and pressed against Huo Lianyun's chest, "You, steal!" The villager shook his head, indicating that the door that was pried behind him was the evidence.

Huo Lianyun couldn't argue with his words, his eyes searched everywhere for Zhao Luoyi, master and apprentice, but there was no sign of them.

The old village head was dragged away from his home, rushed here in a panic, panting heavily, and asked loudly: "Where is the bold lunatic who dares to steal chickens and dogs in my Dayao Village, take them to the ancestral hall, and soak the pig cages!"

Huo Lianyun: "..."

The villagers whispered into the head of the village.

"Oh, yes, you shouldn't soak the pig cages. The pig cages are for adulterers and prostitutes...you can do whatever you want, just smoke it." The village head, with white beard and white hair and old eyesight, collected himself and saw Huo Lianyun clearly. , saddenedly said: "You are young, you look like a human being, why can't you think about it so much, the rattan will damage your good skin, you should soak it in a pig cage..."

Huo Lianyun became angry immediately, and he cut the hoe in front of him with a knife, scaring the villagers to sit on the ground and tremble.

"Master, I won't beat you!" Huo Lianyun took out his token angrily, and pushed it in front of the village chief, "I was ordered by the Marquis of Jingyang to investigate the case of the murder of Wang Ba, the owner of the Wangjiazhuang. You are the village chief." long?"

The village chief took the token and examined it carefully, and dubiously looked at Huo Lianyun from head to toe.

"In our Dayao Village, no one has been killed in decades, and the emperor doesn't care about it. This Wang Ba has a lot of face, and three groups of people have come to investigate his case this month." The old village head coughed twice, moved one hand aside, He said to Huo Lianyun: "Since we are members of the imperial court, let's follow the rules. Please come in and drink tea first. Speak slowly, don't worry." The village chief held Huo Lianyun with his dry hand, and the villagers held farm tools in their hands and stared at him suspiciously. behind.

Huo Lianyun had no choice but to go to the village chief's house to talk first.

Everyone at the gate of Wangjiazhuang is astigmatized.

Zhao Luoyi and Li Meng landed one after the other, the dagger and scabbard protruded, and a door panel.

"Go." Zhao Luoyi said.

"Don't care about the second uncle..." Li Meng glanced worriedly at the wooden building next to him.

"He's going to soak the pig cage, it will take some time to get out, let's go in and check first." Zhao Luoyi said indifferently.

Li Meng followed, and after entering the door, he inserted the latch.

☆, Buddha Hall

A musty smell came from behind the door, and Li Meng followed Zhao Luoyi with the Wuwang Sword on his back.

The huge Wangjiazhuang is a courtyard with four entrances, the highest two-story building, and nearly a hundred houses. Looking around, it seems that no one is there.

Many of the potted plants in the front yard have fallen, and some of the evergreen pine trees have yellowed their needles.

"Be careful." After entering the third door, Zhao Luoyi heard Li Meng say behind him.

Li Meng sniffled, his eyes fell on the ground.Zhao Luoyi's eyes sank, and he saw it too. There were dark marks on the ground.

"Human blood." Li Meng said affirmatively.

Zhao Luoyi sniffed the blood on his fingertips. It had been a long time since the blood had dried up. Li Meng could smell it, which showed that his sense of smell was indeed more sensitive than ordinary people.Holding the sword in one hand, Zhao Luoyi raised his head and looked around. The second floor was dark and dormant everywhere.

"Smell it carefully, is there any unusual smell?"

Li Meng inhaled hard as he said, his nose twitched, and he simply closed his eyes.

After a while, Li Meng opened his eyes and pointed to the inner hall, "There is a smell of incense sticks in the back, there should be a Buddhist hall."

In the direction Li Meng pointed, he was visiting the ancestral tablets of the Wang family, offering fruits, and setting up an incense burner.

Zhao Luoyi frowned slightly: "Are you sure there are more?"

Li Meng sniffed it again and nodded: "It's right behind here, but it looks like there's no yard anymore..." Li Meng was also very puzzled. Hearing the clanging sound, Zhao Luoyi knocked on the wall behind the tablet with a dagger and scabbard. hit.

"Go upstairs and look for it. There may be a mechanism here." After a long while, Zhao Luoyi came to a conclusion and tapped his fingers on the wall to find a breakthrough.

"Master, be careful."

Zhao Luoyi, who was concentrating on studying the mechanism, raised his left hand, hooked his index finger, and signaled Li Meng to come over.

Li Meng smiled, and leaned over to touch Zhao Luoyi's cheek.

The corners of Zhao Luoyi's mouth curved slightly, "Go quickly, be careful."

The yard is not big. Li Meng found the stairs. The wooden steps creaked when he stepped on them. He climbed up cautiously. At the corner, he saw a piece of jade on the wall. It was probably used as a town house. It was yellow in color and worn on the surface. , looks old.

Passing the corner, Li Meng tapped his sword on the dilapidated-looking stair board first, making sure it was solid before going up.

Maybe the Wang family didn't live here long ago, the air was full of the smell of dust.

As soon as he walked up to the second floor, Li Meng took a deep breath and suddenly sneezed.

Zhao Luoyi's voice came from downstairs: "What's wrong?"

Li Meng hurriedly leaned on the railing, "It's okay, everything is normal, master, have you found the mechanism?"

"Hurry up, look around casually, come down if no one is there."

Li Meng agreed, feeling his nose itchy, rubbing it back and forth, his nose turned red.There was an animal smell in the air, either a cat or a dog.

If no one lives in Wangjiazhuang for a long time, and the cats and dogs are still there, what do they eat...

Thinking of the smell of human blood again, Li Meng saw a long narrow wooden path in front of him. Li Meng felt his back tremble, his neck shrunk, and he walked forward lightly.

Walking to the first room, Li Meng thought for a while, turned sideways to let the door open, and suddenly pushed open the door with Wuwang sword.

"嗖嗖" several times, the silver light flew out.

Li Meng shouted: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Zhao Luoyi turned over and straightened up, got out from under the wooden frame, ran out the door, and saw Li Meng standing in front of the door of the first room on the second floor.

"What's wrong?!" Zhao Luoyi asked loudly.

"There are... hidden weapons..." Li Meng's voice trembled, his face was mournful, he leaned against the railing a little unsteadily, and cried weakly, "He's dead!"

Zhao Luoyi didn't say a word, stepped on the soles of his feet, and jumped up to the second floor.He lifted up the panicked Li Meng and protected him behind him. There was a stench in the room, a small stool in the middle, and a hemp rope hung from the beam, hanging on the neck of a female corpse.

Zhao Luoyi swung the short sword, and the female corpse fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

The room was very dusty, and Li Meng sneezed again, feeling that someone was watching behind him, and turned his head, the corridor was empty, nothing was there.

"It was only hung up after being killed." Zhao Luoyi wrapped the cloth found in the cabinet, and turned the female corpse over. Just now, when she fell from above, the leg bones of the female corpse were twisted and deformed. He tilted unnaturally, and his face was broken.Zhao Luoyi wrapped her hands in a cloth and checked it over and over again. There was a golden hairpin in the woman's hair, and the clothes were expensive, and a blue phoenix-shaped jade pendant the size of a palm hung on her chest.

Li Meng saw Zhao Luoyi use a knife to cut off the bead chain wearing the jade pendant, and hurriedly said: "The things on the dead man... Master, do you want to take it?"

Zhao Luoyi pulled out the woman's hairpin again, wrapped it in a clean cloth, stood up and pressed the Wuwang sword against Li Meng's vest, signaling him to go out.

The master and apprentice took a breath, and their expressions returned to normal.

"Something shot out when the door was opened just now!" Li Meng remembered.

"How did you come out?"

"It shoots vertically head-on, and the range should not reach the opposite side, but it seems to be a hidden weapon as thin as a cow's hair. I didn't see it clearly."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Zhao Luoyi had no choice but to go back into the house, inspect the bed directly opposite the door, and found a hidden compartment dug out on the wooden board inside the bed, and there was a mechanism inside.The mechanism was added later, so Zhao Luoyi simply unloaded the wooden box containing the mechanism, wrapped it in cloth, and let Li Meng hold it.

Li Meng really didn't want to take the things that the woman took off, but Zhao Luoyi quickly opened the second room, and Li Meng could only follow without saying a word, so as not to cause trouble for him.

In the next twelve houses, no bodies were found, as if no one had ever lived in them.Because there was only one staircase to go upstairs, the master and apprentice returned to that staircase, and when they passed the first room again, Li Meng was about to cover his nose when he suddenly smelled something.

"Master."

Zhao Luoyi stood on the stairs and turned her head.

Li Meng frowned and squatted on the ground, "There's blood here."

Right at the door of the first room, dried blood seeped through the cracks in the wooden planks, Zhao Luoyi rubbed her fingers and said, "Smell again."

"The smell of clear oil..." Li Meng wrinkled his nose and said.

"Well, someone wiped it, there must be someone else in Wangjiazhuang."

When Li Meng thought about going upstairs, he felt that he was following his own gaze, and looked back at the long and dark corridor with lingering fear. The four corners were gloomy.

"Could it be... not human..."

Before Li Meng finished speaking, Zhao Luoyi slapped him so hard that he almost fell down the stairs.

"If you're not a human, you don't need to cover up the blood. Why do ghosts do this?" Zhao Luoyi stood up and looked back in displeasure, "I didn't find anything. It seems that the things are not here, or someone took them away."

"What is Master looking for?" Li Meng asked after Zhao Luoyi went downstairs.

Zhao Luoyi didn't speak.

Li Meng suddenly remembered, swallowed nervously, grabbed the corner of Zhao Luoyi's robe and asked, "Looking for the hundred soldiers?"

Zhao Luoyi squinted in vain, "You know again." Pushing Li Meng back to the room where the ancestral hall was enshrined in the Wang family, Zhao Luoyi jumped onto the big table where the spirit tablet was enshrined, and ducked under a wooden wall behind it. After getting on it, I couldn't help cursing angrily: "Fuck..."

Seeing Zhao Luoyi panting and poking her head out, Li Meng asked cautiously, "What's the matter, Master?"

"Damn it."

Li Meng was terrified and his face was pale.

Zhao Luoyi laughed, "Why are you so timid, I've convinced you." Then he slowed down, "With Master here, ghosts are not afraid, I will smash his head with a bong like me."

Li Meng's complexion improved, he knew that Zhao Luoyi was teasing him, and he didn't want to hold him back, but he had never seen such a weird Zhuangzi before, if he hadn't stayed with Zhao Luoyi, all those strange powers and chaos that his second brother talked about when he was young Stuffed in his head, he barks his teeth and claws to get out and catch him.

"Forget it, go and look for the firewood room." Zhao Luoyi came out disheartened and patted his head.

When Zhao Luoyi found the machete, Li Meng understood, stepped back a few steps, and stood at the door.

Zhao Luoyi looked back at him with a gentle look in his eyes, "I'm not afraid."

There was a loud bang, like blasting a mountain wall, and the tablets of the ancestors of the royal family flew from all directions.

Li Meng was knocked unconscious by a spirit card, his head was swollen with a big lump, he sat on the ground, dazed for a moment, only then did he see clearly the hand Zhao Luoyi handed him, and hurriedly grabbed it to stand up.

Zhao Luoyi casually threw the machete back.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Lianyun yelled: "Fourth brother, you are looking for...you want to hack Hou Yemai to death!"

The mess that suddenly appeared in front of him made Huo Lianyun stop, leaning on the door frame, standing at the door, shaking his fingers——

"You two have such an enmity with the Wang family that you destroyed the ancestral hall..."

Zhao Luoyi said to Li Meng: "Follow me." He turned back and burrowed into the split hole in the wall.

Huo Lianyun saw that his master and apprentice had both slipped past, so he had to follow, being careful not to accidentally injure the ancestors of the Wang family.
