In a side hall outside the Taichu Palace, more than 20 palace maids and eunuchs were distributed around the gate, paying attention to the surrounding situation vigilantly.

In a small room temporarily separated in the palace, the lights were dim, and two palace maids were wearing gauze skirts for Wei Tuaner.

Yupinlong sat tiredly on the thick Persian carpet and slowly put on his white close-fitting clothes. He gasped, as if he was overdrawn.

Wei Tuaner glared at him with great dissatisfaction and said coldly: "I told you last time that the women in the mansion don't allow you to touch them, but you ignore them. Do you think I'm easy to talk to and can bully you at will?"

Yupinlong was afraid of Wei Tuaner and quickly stood up and said, "I will never touch them!"

"Then why are you so incompetent!"

Wei Tuaner turned around and grabbed his clothes, and said fiercely: "Tell me! Have you raised a woman outside?"

The fish dragon was so scared that his legs were weak and he trembled: "This is absolutely nothing..."

Wei Tuaner shook him away and snorted heavily, "I believe in you today. Remember, if I find out that you have raised a woman outside, see how I will peel you two!"

"I'm afraid!" Yu Pinlong thought of Wei Tuaner's methods, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

"And the thing I told you, time is coming, you can hurry to Chang'an immediately and take out the things!"

"But, the humble position is not yet..." Yu Pinlong glanced at the two palace maids and did not dare to continue talking.

Wei Tuaner waved his hand, "You two retreat first!"

The two palace maids quickly retreated, and only Wei Tuaner and Yu Pinlong were left in the small room. Only then did Wei Tuaner take out a small scroll from his carry-on bag and hand it to Yu Pinlong.

"The hidden mechanisms in the underground palace are drawn very clearly. If you follow the method I told you to enter the underground palace and follow the picture, there will be no danger.

But I want to remind you again, the time is midnight five days later, not one moment earlier or one moment later. Take out what I want and leave, no delay at all, otherwise I will not care if you die inside."

"I remember my vocation, but what if... I encounter patrol officers and soldiers? After all, that's the palace!"

"Idiot! You can't even handle this little thing, what else can you do?"

Wei Tuaner scolded him fiercely, maybe he was really afraid that the fish-pin dragon would ruin her major, Wei Tuaner thought about it and told him.

"I will make arrangements in advance. There will be no patrol soldiers at that time, but you have to remember that it is not difficult to get things. The difficult thing is to enter the underground palace. There is only one cup of tea for the nine bronze balls to appear. You can't make any mistakes."

"I don't dare to be careless!"

Although Wei Tuaner knew that the fish-picking dragon was not capable, the fish-picking dragon was very obedient, which was quite satisfying to her. For his obedience, Wei Tuaner decided to give him another chance.

When he walked to the door, Wei Tuaner turned around and said viciously: "The matter is done, I have a reward, but if the matter is done, hum! Be careful that I will peel you!"

Yu Pinlong was so scared that he shivered all over and lowered his head deeply.

.........

Four days later, Li Zhen and Di Yan arrived in Chang'an. It was already afternoon, and both of them were a little tired.

It is half a mile away from the East City of Chang'an. The official road is already lively. The wineries and inns on both sides of the official road are next to each other. Banners of all sizes are flying above their heads, making them look blurry.

"Brother Li, let's find a tavern to sit down first!"

Li Zhen also wanted to inquire about the situation in Yuexia Villa. He pointed to the largest wine shop not far away and smiled: "That family, Zuixianju, looks good."

The two walked to the restaurant, and a bartender immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

Di Yan still wore men's clothing, which was a major feature of the Tang Dynasty. Women liked men's clothing. Di Yandu Li Zhendu wore a black gauze hat on the head, a pine tree on the waist, a leather belt on the waist, a long sword, trousers inside, and black leather boots on the feet. This is also the most typical and common men's clothing in the Tang Dynasty.

The bartender has seen countless people, and of course he can see that Di Yan is dressed as a man, but naturally he doesn't want to reveal his daughter, so he won't say it out loud.

"Two young men, the roasted mutton in the restaurant is a unique feature in Chang'an. If you don't taste it, Chang'an will be in vain."

Li Zhen has long been accustomed to such boasting as "Chang'an is the best, Luoyang is the best". He smiled and asked, "Is there a seat by the window?"

"Yes! Yes! Come with me."

Someone came up to lead the horse for them, and the two followed the bartender to the second floor. The upstairs were crowded and the business was booming. They found a seat by the window to sit down.

Li Zhen gave the bartender a handful of money and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, I want to find out somewhere."

The bartender got the money and his smile became brighter. "The youngest one is a native of Chang'an. I don't know that there is no place in Chang'an. Just ask."

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "I want to know if there is a villa near Chang'an for a month?"

The bartender was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he heard it. He stammered for a while and said, "Young Master is not talking about Chang'an! I don't know that there are eighty-four manors in Chang'an. The young master must be asking about a manor in Guanzhong."

Di Yan didn't like the bartender bragging randomly, and his pretty face sank, "If you don't know, it doesn't mean you don't. Go and ask your shopkeeper, otherwise don't charge others' money."

The bartender smiled bitterly and said, "You two, wait, I'll ask now!"

In just a moment, the bartender ran back and said excitedly: "Sorry, my shopkeeper doesn't know Yuexia Villa, and he has never heard of it."

Several drinkers next to him also shook their heads, saying that they had not heard of Yuexia Villa.

Li Zhen and Di Yan looked at each other, both of them were a little depressed. They traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an, but no one knew where Yuexia Villa was?

After eating a little randomly, the two of them stayed in an inn next door, so they asked for two rooms. They also asked the inn and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper. But no one had heard of where Yuexia Villa was?

In the room, Li Zhen and Di Yan sat opposite each other in a depressed mood. They had already inquired about the Yuexia Villa from many people, but no one heard of it.

"Brother Li, can this Yuexia Villa be no longer in Chang'an, but near Luoyang? We have found the wrong direction."

Li Zhen shook his head, "I think this villa is still in Chang'an, the villa you first entered. Maybe it is not called Yuexia Villa now, or Yuexia Villa is just its alias. We must ask someone to investigate it specifically."

Li Zhen's last sentence made Di Yan's gem-like eyes shine with a hint of bright color. She hurriedly said, "If you say this, I remember that I have an uncle Shi who served as Jingzhao Yin. He has retired from the official position and lives in Chang'an. We can ask him to help find this Yuexia Villa."

Li Zhen didn't say anything. He actually thought of the Wang family and asked Wang Yuanbao or Wang Qingyu to inquire for him, but he was a little hesitant. After all, the Wang family also involved a relic case, so it seemed inappropriate for them to inquire.

At this moment, the inn appeared at the door, half-closed, and he knocked on the door and smiled, "Two young men, I'll disturb you."

"The door is open, please come in!"

The guy walked in and bowed with a smile on his face, "I thought about it again just now, it seems that I have heard of Yuexia Villa."

Li Zhen was overjoyed and immediately stood up and asked, "Is it in Chang'an?"

"A few months ago, a guest staying in a hotel talked to me about Yuexia Villa. I remember he seemed to say that Yuexia Villa was the name thirty years ago and had been renamed, so most people don't know it."

"Then do you know the name now?" Li Zhenyou asked.

The guy scratched his head and said with no intention of laughter: "I remembered it just now, but I don't know what happened, but now I forget it all at once."

Li Zhen took out two gold coins and stuffed them to the servant, encouraging him and said, "Think about it again!"

The guy secretly touched the gold coins and immediately felt enlightened. "I remembered it. It is now called Deer Pattern Villa. It is located north of Sanqiao Town in the west of the city, about twenty miles from Chang'an City. You can tell if you ask nearby. It is a very famous villa."

The guy took out another piece of hemp paper and handed it to Li Zhen and smiled and said, "This is a sketch drawn by the villain for the young master, maybe it's worth it."

Li Zhen and Di Yan both secretly called this guy shameless and couldn't remember it anyway. It was obvious that they wanted money, but they didn't want to be calculating with the guy. Li Zhen took the sketch and sent him away.

The two of them looked at the picture carefully at the table, and Di Yan pondered for a moment: "It should be the villa I went to for the first time, and the direction and distance were roughly consistent."

She suggested to Li Zhen again: "It's still early now, and the place is not far away. It's at most half an hour. Why don't we go and have a look first?"

Li Zhen nodded, "I think so too!"

......

Outside the inn gate, the guy just now slipped out and nodded to a man in black in the corner and said, "Sir, I have given them the address and sketches as you told me, and at the same time I told them that Yuexia Villa is Deer Pattern Villa."

"Do they suspect someone else taught you?"

"They have no doubts. The villain sees so much that it is easy to deal with."

After saying that, the guy looked at the man in black and counted on him to fulfill his promise. The man in black smiled and gave him a bag, "There are ten coins of money in it, so I will give it to you!"

The guy was overjoyed and took the bag and thanked him repeatedly. The man in black smiled and said, "I'll wait at the back door of the inn. If they ride a horse and leave the inn, you come and tell me again, maybe I'll have a reward."

"Sure! Sure! The villain will pay close attention to their actions and report to the adults at any time."

......

A quarter of an hour later, Li Zhen and Di Yan, who were neatly packed up, turned their horses and rushed to the west around Chang'an City. They had already changed into black night clothes and put their luggage in the inn. They only brought their bows and arrows and long swords to the Yuexia Villa.

The shopkeepers' map was very clear. They ran west along the spacious official road and could reach Yuexia Villa in half an hour.

But just as they were in the inn, the man in black also rode out from the back of the inn and rushed from the more hidden path to Yuexia Villa. From the distance, the path is about ten miles away than the official path, so you can arrive at the villa in advance.

About half an hour later, Li Zhen gradually slowed down his horse speed, and Sanqiao Town west of Chang'an was ahead. He took out the map and looked at it, and found their current location.

Li Zhen turned his head and looked northwest again. There was a dense forest there. After passing through this forest, it was the Yuexia Villa they were looking for.

Li Zhen turned his horse's head and said, "Let's go!"

They turned the path northwest and ran towards the woods.

Perhaps because of the inhabited nearby, this forest is not gloomy and terrifying. The trees are wide and there are roads for carriages to walk on. It can be seen that people and horses often pass by.

When they passed through the woods, a manor appeared in front of them. It was a small manor covering thousands of acres. High walls were built around it and surrounded it. A small river surrounds the manor like a moat. In the center of the manor, there is also a lush hill.

"It's here!" Di Yan murmured. She recognized this manor, which was the manor she entered after accepting the mission to Chang'an. This is the nest of the group of mysterious people.

The manor gate is tightly closed, with a plaque on it. Under the moonlight, the handwriting on it can be vaguely identified, which is the four words "Deer Pattern Villa".

"Is this Yuexia Villa?"

As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, someone next to him smiled and said, "Young Master Li is right, this is Yuexia Villa!"

When Li Zhen turned around, he saw a man in white walking out of the woods and staring at them with a smile. Li Zhen looked around again, and only hundreds of figures rushed out of the woods, holding military crossbows, surrounding them.

The man in white smiled with his hands behind his back and said, "Young Master Li, Miss Di, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
