When Gu An woke up, she found that she didn't know when there was a thin quilt on her body.

Turning his head to look at Li Muge who was still soundly asleep, he walked over and covered him with the quilt, then turned and went out the door.

Sometimes, he really didn't know why he met such a strange person at such a moment in his life?Why is it that such a person of unknown origin makes him occasionally feel warm at such a moment in his life?

Perhaps these warmths seem to be insignificant, trivial, and difficult to notice—such as an unthinking support when he was covered in filth and confusion, such as a little unintentional care when he was exposed to cold in the middle of the night... But Let him unconsciously feel grateful.

With a soft sigh, he walked into the long street where the hustle and bustle was gradually rising, and slowly disappeared among the endless crowd.

Li Muge, who was supposed to be sound asleep, also opened his eyes at this moment.

Gently rubbing the quilt with his fingers, his eyes seemed to be replaying something, and fell into a long and eternal silence like this.

As a result, Gu An disappeared for a day, and Li Muge also disappeared for a day.

But the two met unexpectedly at the back door of Langyu Pavilion when the moon was in the sky.

When Gu An and Li Muge saw each other, they couldn't help showing wry smiles—it seemed that they had reached a tacit understanding without knowing it, and in order not to bring danger to each other, they both chose to come alone.

Unexpectedly, before they knew it, they had gradually changed from strangers who were wary of each other to friends who cared about each other and were not friends.

Li Muge shrugged at Gu An, pretending to be regretful and said: "It seems that my brother was not able to get rid of my burden in the end."

The corners of Gu An's lips slightly raised, and said lightly: "Everyone, each other."

"Then let's go?" Li Muge jumped over the high wall first to investigate.

Therefore, An followed closely and followed suit.

After the two entered the wall, they walked to Shui Furong's residence again.

Gu'an was ready to dip the silver needle of "one blink" to knock down the guards lurking around Shui Furong's residence, but he didn't expect that there was no one guarding here at this time.

Seeing this, the two of them naturally became suspicious, but they couldn't sit still because of this.

So Li Muge rushed into the courtyard first, and Gu An hid in the dark to observe, and if there was any trouble, they would take care of each other with one light and one dark.

It is said that when Li Muge came to the house, he pushed the door hard, but he didn't open it.He pushed the window hard again, but didn't open it again.Immediately he used his internal force to hit the window edge, and the window edge broke with a sound, but he did not see the interior, only a black lacquered board nailed to the window, blocking the window airtight.

Li Muge struck it with his finger and found that the board was made of pig iron, he couldn't help being shocked.

Sighing weakly, he turned around and waved to Gu An helplessly.

"I said, why are there no guards outside? It turns out that the house is impregnable and impenetrable!" Li Muge complained to Gu An, knocking on the iron plate.

Gu An looked at the iron plate and asked strangely, "Why is this plate sealed from the inside?"

"In order not to damage the appearance of the house, so that outsiders can't see that the house has been tampered with." Li Muge replied casually, and suddenly felt wrong after speaking, and immediately blurted out a question, just in unison with Gu An.

"The person who sealed the board inside, how did he get out?"

"I didn't expect us to have a tacit understanding?" Li Muge winked narrowly at Gu An, but the other party looked away blankly, turned around and began to check around the house.

Li Muge was used to this for a long time, so he made a face behind the man's back, and then began to check all the doors and windows outside the door.

"Is there any other exit?" Li Muge pointed his eyes at the solid iron plates, and told Gu An that there was no way for him.

Gu An shook his head, instantly extinguishing his last little hope.

"Then how did he get out? Didn't he become a goblin?"

Therefore, An ignored his nonsense and said to himself: "Since there is no exit outside the house, the exit can only be inside the house."

"I don't know if the exit is inside the house, but now I only know the entrance is not outside!" Li Muge shrugged, implying that they can't get in even if they become flying insects now!

If they can't enter this room, then nothing can be confirmed, and all inferences can only be reduced to speculation.Even if their guesses are all correct, I am afraid that after tonight, when the house is restored to its original appearance, all the evidence will be wiped out.

Therefore, An Wenyan didn't answer, but just took out a dagger from his sleeve, and saw that the dagger was rusty from the handle to the sheath, and looked very old.

Li Muge laughed dryly, and said teasingly: "Brother, why did you take out such an 'old antique'? Could it be that you want to use it to chip away at these iron plates?"

Before he finished speaking, he felt a cold light flash in front of his eyes, and the indestructible heavy black iron plate in front of him had been pierced sharply, and it was the "antique dagger" that he ridiculed sticking out of it.

At this moment, after the dagger was unsheathed, how could it still be a bit worn out?

The unsheathed blade is as bright as the moon, colder than snow.In an instant, a dazzling cold light burst out in the dark night, invincible wherever it went.

Unexpectedly, one of my jokes would come true at this moment.Li Muge opened his mouth halfway, wondering whether he should be surprised by his "stealth" or Gu An's "omnipotent"?

I really don't know if I have bumped into a person with such supernatural powers?It seems that no matter what situation he encounters, he can solve it easily!

Before he could say a word of exclamation, An had already used the dagger to penetrate a gap in the iron plate, and then the sharp blade turned sharply and cut the iron plate completely.

Gu An reached out to catch the chipped iron plate, and said indifferently to Li Muge, "Let's go."

Li Muge saw that the iron plate that was indestructible just now had been ripped out into an "iron frame", and couldn't help but exclaimed: "I didn't expect this 'old antique' to be able to sell gold and cut jade? It's really amazing...an eye-opener."

Gu An put away the dagger in his hand and corrected: "It's not called 'Old Antique', this dagger is called 'Han Yu'".

Li Muge followed Gu An into the house, and continued: "You are cold enough, why is the weapon in your hand so cold? Why don't you call it 'Hanyu' and call it 'Nuanyang'!"

Therefore, An didn't bother to pay attention to him, and touched the organs in the house.I saw a secret passage suddenly appearing behind the curtain of the bed, and the bottomless depth of looking!

"How did you know how to open this mechanism?" Li Muge entered the secret passage first, and found that it was pitch black inside.

"Although the design of the mechanism strives to be ever-changing, it remains the same. When you see a lot, naturally there is nothing difficult to crack. What's more, when we broke into here that day, I had already discovered this mechanism, and I went back and studied it again. Come on, I’m just following the steps at this time.” Gu An said while lighting a torch, but saw a lot of sand and stones piled up in the place illuminated by the fire.

"Do you think this is going to be dug up? Or is it going to be blocked?" Li Muge squatted down and picked up the sand, only to feel that the tentacles were dry, which was completely different from the dampness on the cave wall.

Gu An threw down the sand in his hands, and snorted coldly: "Go quickly, if you don't move quickly, you may collide with the person who sealed the entrance of this cave."

Li Muge stood up, shrugged his shoulders and made a nonchalant expression and said, "It would be better if we bumped into each other. Young master, I'm just going to ask my teacher for my crime."

Gu An squinted at him, and said mockingly, "Judging from the fact that you were forced into such a situation by the other party, it may be murder to silence you."

After saying that, he held the torch and walked forward, no matter how noisy Li Muge was behind him, he ignored him.

After a while, the two reached the end of the secret path.

Gu An gently pushed the wooden board above his head, frowned and said, "The exit mechanism is outside the secret passage, if you want to go out to find out, you can only destroy it forcibly."

Li Muge shook his head and said, "We don't know anything about the situation outside the secret passage, it's too risky to force it out."

"It's not that I don't know everything." Gu An snorted coldly, and continued: "Didn't we already speculate that Qingyu might be working for Li Shengxin?"

"Sapphire is related to Li Shengxin, and Shui Furong is related to Sapphire, and now a secret passage has been found in Shui Furong's room, you mean..." Li Muge suddenly realized when he was touched by Gu An, but was caught by the other party before he could say a word. covered his mouth.

He was about to resist, but he felt the pinnae of his ear suddenly heat up, and he heard Gu An whisper in his ear: "Hush."

Not long after, there were some faint sounds from outside the secret passage, from far to near.Although the voice was a little fuzzy, it was enough for the two of them to hear clearly.

"Squeak!" After the door rang, only a high-pitched young male voice said in a bad tone: "My Lord Marquis has been waiting for a long time, why hasn't your master shown up yet?"

"My master's whereabouts have always been erratic, and I will follow orders, and I hope Lord Hou will be more considerate." The man who answered him was also a man, but his voice was deep and deep, and his tone was quite steady and straight.

Gu An heard it in his ears, and felt as if he had heard it somewhere, but it was hard to remember it for a while.

"Be considerate? We seem to have always been considerate of your master." The young man snorted coldly, his tone still full of dissatisfaction.

"Since the two of us have reached a covenant, mutual understanding should also be considered." The calm man's tone remained the same, neither humble nor overbearing nor hasty.

The young man opened his mouth to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by another male voice.

The male voice said quietly: "I have been waiting for your master for many days, and I have taken a lot of risks. If he doesn't come today, don't blame me for being helpless. This secret path must be destroyed today!" Although his tone was not as fierce as that young man's, there was a hint of viciousness between the lines.

"Did Hou Ye disregard the friendship of the alliance?" When he asked this sentence, the calm man's voice became deeper, with a sense of oppression without anger and prestige.

"The general of Zhen Guo is already investigating. If I am here, where is there any alliance? I am also doing this for the benefit of your master." At this time, the man seemed to call some guards, and there was a noise outside the secret passage.

"Master Hou, can you wait for a moment?" For the first time, there was a hint of eagerness in the calm man's voice.

The man called "Hou Ye" didn't answer him, but ordered: "Do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li and Gu felt a sudden vibration from the exit above their heads, and then a slit appeared in front of their eyes.

Seeing this, Gu An immediately extinguished the fire, and the two couldn't help but rush back to the place one after the other.

"What should we do? Even if they didn't catch up to us, they should know that they were exposed when they saw Shui Furong's house." Li Muge asked while running and panting.

"My lord, didn't you say that you bumped into him and asked the teacher?" Gu An was also depressed at this time, only feeling that since he was with this person, his luck had plummeted, and everything he encountered was troublesome!So he couldn't help but retort.

"I want to ask the teacher for the crime, but now in order to avoid hurting the innocent, it's better to calm down." The "innocent" in his mouth naturally refers to Gu An.

Gu An cast a glance at him, just about to yell at him but saw that the exit was close in front of him, so he had no choice but to give up and climb out with all his strength.

It's just that God seems to be never tired of fighting against the two of them, so he and Li Muge finally escaped from the secret path when they heard some movement outside the house.

Hearing the sound, the two immediately knelt down and hid themselves under the window.I hope that the silence of midnight can bury my whereabouts.

The darkness is still darkness, the silence is still silence, but Li Muge and Gu An's ears are filled with the rustle of cloth rubbing against the air, from far to near, sharply piercing the silence of the courtyard.

somebody is coming.who is it?
