Volume 5 Chapter 2 The Great Hidden City(1/2)
If Su Su had not accompanied Zhai Jiao to find Shen Luoyan, even if she had her address, it would still have taken a lot of effort to find this ruthless beauty's Xiangju.
Shen Luoyan's residence is located among the residential buildings in the east of the city. The houses are lined up in rows. Including her Xiangju, there are thousands of courtyards with green bricks and tiles, connected by alleys, forming deep alleys with high walls. It is narrow and winding, with hundreds of winding streets and alleys criss-crossing each other. They are all paved with large bluestone slabs and have similar forms.
When the three of them arrived here in the snow, it was like walking into a maze and it was difficult to know the way. Especially at this dark time, with only the dim light coming from the house, it was like entering a ghost land.
But they feel very safe.
In a place like this, it is very convenient to fight or escape.
Kou Zhong walked into one of the alleys and said with a smile: "Ms. Shen must have many enemies to live in such a place that makes people dizzy when walking."
Xu Ziling relaxed and stretched his muscles while walking: "When I first heard Mrs. Shen's adulterer Xu Shiji talk about searching house to house, I was really shocked. It turned out that he was just blowing the air. If he comes this way, we will go that way. What can we do? For martial arts masters like us."
Su Su said with lingering fear: "Don't get carried away, okay? The people in Xingyang City support the Wagang Army very much. As long as people see us, they will definitely report us... Oh!" Before he could finish speaking, he had already reported to Kou Zhong He hugged his waist and flew up to the roof of the roof on the left.
Xu Ziling jumped up at the same time. After the three of them lay down, they looked down into the depths of the alley ahead. There was no trace of people in the heavy snow.
Su Su was surprised and said: "Where is there anyone?"
Kou Zhong whispered: "My feeling is absolutely wrong. It's really strange, why can't I see people or hear sounds, but I feel that danger is approaching?"
Xu Ziling nodded and said: "I also feel a warning sign, look!" He saw a group of more than ten green-clothed warriors coming from the other side of the alley, knocking on doors from house to house along the way, not to mention asking about their whereabouts.
The three of them felt their scalps go numb after seeing this, Xu Shiji could indeed do it.
When the entire city knows that there are three fugitives like them, it will make it difficult for them to move forward.
Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were strangers, and their looks were particularly easy to recognize, so it was extremely difficult to hide them from others.
After the search team left, the three of them secretly said they were lucky. If it hadn't been snowing heavily, Xu Shiji would have had to send people to guard the commanding heights everywhere, and then send people to search house by house, and they would have been unable to fly.
However, it was extremely cold now and it was difficult to see far, so Xu Shiji's people naturally did the job perfunctorily.
Kou Zhong was itching with hatred and said: "We have always been beaten without being able to fight back, which has greatly damaged the prestige of our Yangzhou Shuanglong. Anyway, there is a way out for Peipei of Daiqinglou. If we don't fight back vigorously, we will make a fucking fuss." It turned everything upside down, so I could let out the bad energy in my heart."
Su Su was frightened and said in shock: "How can this happen? How can you fight them?"
Xu Ziling was greatly moved and said in a low voice: "To become famous, of course you need to establish authority, but we'd better hide safely first and then discuss the big plan."
Kou Zhong said excitedly: "Sister, come on!" When Su Su lay on Kou Zhong's back, he had already risen into the sky like a big bird.
She suddenly felt that she no longer knew these two good brothers.
If it had been anyone else, they would have either been so scared that they couldn't get out, or they would have tried every possible means to escape.
How could someone like the two of them still have the courage to carry out a "counterattack" like pebbles and stones, knowing that the enemy's power was thousands of times greater than theirs?
Woolen cloth?
If viewed from the outside, Shen Luoyan's Xiangju is no different from other residential houses, except that the door decorations are more elegant, unlike the peeling and dilapidated door walls of his neighbors.
But the inside is another story. Not only is it spacious and elegant, the gardens and courtyards are integrated into one, the layout is quiet, and the buildings are unique and unique.
This villa named Luoyan Village is mainly composed of the main hall and hall, lined with water and stone, with multiple corridors and rockeries running through and dividing it.
To the north of the pool is a small hilltop-style building with five couplets and two floors, with flying eaves, like a butterfly fluttering its wings. It is very unique. Shen Luoyan's boudoir is there.
Behind the small building is a winding man-made stream, connected by two small bridges to the maid's room and warehouse in the backyard.
Luoyan Village occupies a small area, but the hills and valleys are like hills, exquisite and simple, and very poetic.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling jumped into the courtyard from the side wall, and were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that Shen Luoyan understood the taste of life so much that he felt like he was "hiding in the alley".
After a while, Kou Zhong had figured out that there were only four maidservants and a couple of servants in the village, all of whom did not understand martial arts.
The three of them hid in one of the guest rooms, which seemed to have been deserted for a long time. The best part was that it was fully furnished with bedding.
The three of them were still polite. After drinking enough tea, they immediately fell asleep.
It was already bright when Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling woke up after hearing the strange noise.
Kou Zhong removed Su Su's jade arm from his chest, walked to the window, and peeked out. It turned out that the only male servant was sweeping snow in the garden.
Xu Ziling also got out of bed and came to his side, whispering: "The snow has stopped!" Kou Zhong looked at him and said: "Are you hungry?"
Xu Ziling said: "I'm so hungry!" Kou Zhong said in a low voice: "We must not steal anything here, otherwise people will find out, let me go get some food and come back!" Xu Ziling said: "Just go to the street like this It would be dangerous to go up there."
Kou Zhong said with a smile: "Don't worry! As long as there are not three of us walking together, it won't be so annoying. It's okay to check out the news by the way."
Xu Ziling knew that he had many tricks and he had been hungry all night, so he warned him: "Go early and come back early."
Kou Zhong accepted the order and slipped out through the back window.
Xu Ziling had nothing to do, and when he was about to sit cross-legged in silence, Su Su on the bed shouted: "Brother Li! Brother Li!" Xu Ziling was shocked and threw himself on the bed, covering Su Su's fragrant lips.
Su Su woke up with a start, calmed herself down, and her beautiful eyes immediately flashed with panic. When Xu Ziling let go of her hand, she whispered:
"Is the enemy coming?"
Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "No! It's just my sister who was talking in her sleep. I was afraid of disturbing the people who were clearing the snow outside!" Su Su felt relieved, her pretty face turned red and said, "What did I say in my dream?"
Xu Ziling sighed secretly in his heart and said calmly: "It's nothing! I can't hear clearly at all."
Su Su sat up, frowned and said, "Where has Xiao Zhong gone?"
After Xu Ziling said this, she became worried again.
Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps, and the two of them were so frightened that they folded the quilt back to its original shape and hid under the bed.
When we first hid, two maids came in to sweep away the dust and brought new bedding.
One of the maids said: "Miss has not been back for eight days. Longtou Mansion was burned down again the night before yesterday. Rumors are flying all over the city now. People are really worried about Miss."
Under the bed, Xu Ziling secretly thought that he should be worried about other people, not Mrs. Shen.
Another maid laughed and said: "Xiao Ju, you are worrying for nothing. Yesterday, Mi Gong led his troops out of the city to attack Liyangcang. The incident at Longtou Mansion is inevitable. Who can make old ghost Zhai refuse to give up his position? How can he be so talented?" Secret rival."
Xiaoju asked in surprise: "How could Sister Lan know so clearly?"
Xiaolan said proudly: "Of course someone told me!" Xiaoju said with a smile: "It must be that guy Li Jie, hee! Have you ever slept with him?"
Then the two women chased each other and ran away.
The two of them got out from under the bed. Xu Ziling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Li Mi is gone! I'm not so afraid of the people in this place." Su Su sat down on the bench next to him and said, "They are more powerful in numbers."
, you only have two pairs of fists, and you have to distract yourself from taking care of me. Don't try to be a hero by force."
Xu Ziling said with dignity: "Don't underestimate your two brothers, we have experienced countless accidents in the past two years.
And every time after escaping from death, my kung fu seems to get better. Hey! Sister, take a rest here while I walk around and take a look."
Su Su hurriedly grabbed his arm and lost her voice: "What should I do if someone finds out?"
Xu Ziling said confidently: "I have been good at sneaking around since I was a child. How could I fail? As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy. The clearer you are about the situation here, the more confident you will be able to deal with it when trouble arises."
Susu had no choice but to let him go.
After waiting in fear for half an hour, being alone and bored, I couldn't help but cry secretly for the people who were murdered in Zhai Mansion. Fortunately, Xu Ziling came back excitedly, holding a file in his hand, and said proudly: "It's all thanks to Chen Laomou."
It took me several days of hard work to find Mrs. Shen's treasure hidden in the secret compartment."
When Su Su saw him coming back, she felt all the sadness in her heart. She tried her best to cheer up and said, "Who is Chen Laomou?"
Xu Ziling sat down and put the file on his lap with great care, and said: "Chen Laomou is a member of the Jukun Gang. He is responsible for training gangsters on how to steal information and then sell it for money. Oh! He is back."
Su Su followed his gaze and saw Kou Zhongzheng pushing in through the front hall door with two big bags in his hands. He said with a smile: "One bag is clothes and the other is food. It's done. The best thing is that all the maids have returned to the back garden."
Where is your residence?"
Xu Ziling and Su Su cheered in unison, and while they were eating and drinking, Kou Zhong said with excitement: "This guy Xu Shiji has searched the entire Xingyang City and almost turned it upside down. There are checkpoints at every street corner, and police are everywhere. I see that the momentum is not good."
, the only way is to steal from house to house, and in scattered locations, to ensure that no one will suspect."
Su Su said: "Xiao Ling even stole something!" Xu Ziling then remembered the files he had hurriedly put into his arms, took them out and handed them to Kou Zhong and said: "Do you think this looks like the list of Mrs. Shen's informants in various places?
There are records of large and small expenditures, monetary transactions, and the like."
Kou Zhong stuffed all the leftover steamed buns into his mouth, freed up both hands to flip through them, and said vaguely: "Ha! Let me see with my discerning eyes, and I'll make sure nothing is hidden. This guy's name is really weird, it's
What the heck, there are also addresses and contact information. Last month I even received a hundred taels of silver. It turns out that money is so easy to make."
Su Su came over to take a look and said angrily: "My name is Chen Shuijia, not Chen Shiya. I just changed my name randomly."
Kou Zhong's eyes shone brightly and he said: "With this treasure, Xiaoling, do you think you can give me a hard blow?"
Xu Ziling snorted coldly: "She harmed us so much, how can she be compensated with just money?"
Su Su said in shock: "If you hand this thing over to the government, many people will raid your home and ask for execution."
Kou Zhong took the roster into his arms and said with a smile: "How can we take advantage of the emperor's son? As for what use it will be, we will think about it in the future."
Turning to Xu Ziling, he said: "It's time for us to add some color. I don't know who painted us so similar to Shenzu. Now our three people's faces are plastered all over the streets, making it very dangerous for us to even think of looking for Peipei in Daiqinglou."
Woolen cloth."
Xu Ziling said: "I just found ten altars of fire oil in the warehouse in the backyard. As long as I find the residence of Xu Shiji, I can burn it with fire and retaliate. I haven't told you yet that Li Mi went to fight and was not in the city.
." Kou Zhong laughed hoarsely and said: "Xu Shiji is just a running dog. Anyway, Li Mi is not here, so we just burn his lair. Hey!
Where is that guy Li Mi's kennel?"
Seeing that the two people's eyes were focused on her, Su Su pouted her cute little mouth and hummed: "Don't expect me to tell you. I also said that we are here to avoid the limelight. With such a fuss, who knew that we are still in the city?"
"What's more, there are so many masters in the Pushan Palace. If you go to make trouble, you will only die!" Kou Zhong said with a smile: "This is the most wonderful place. We know that we are in the city, but we can't find anyone. What's even better is that the military situation is now in critical condition.
