Chapter 114: Exposed
After Ye Yinfeng followed the five people to a house, he saw that it was overgrown with weeds, and there were several tall towering ancient trees stretching their huge branches.
"Wait a minute, I'll go for a while." At this moment, one of the five suddenly spoke, while the other four stopped in surprise.
"You fuck, you kid has a lot to do, hurry up, this cold day, we have a hard life, and we have to patrol, but this mansion is too mad for his grandmother, and there is no popularity everywhere, think about Lao Tzu is afraid."
The leader of the five scolded softly, and told the man to deal with it quickly.
The man agreed, handed the torch to one of his companions, and hurried into the grass, and quickly unbuttoned his trousers under a large tree.
And the four men walked aside with torches, and waited quietly for his man to relieve him.
Ye Yinfeng, who was hiding in the shadows, was overjoyed, this was just an opportunity, the person who was relieved under the big tree was relatively weak, almost about the same size as him.
At this time, the torches of those men did not shine here, and it was pitch black under the great tree, and only the sound of liquid spilling on the grass could be heard.
There are no hidden sentinels lurking on these ancient trees, and it is terrifyingly quiet everywhere.
The nursing home that relieved him was just finished, he only felt a cold wind blowing on his face, and he couldn't help but shiver, and he hurriedly lifted his pants to tie them.
At this time, he only felt that there was wind in the back of his head, and as soon as his stamina was numb, he lost consciousness and fell limply.
A slight sound sounded from the trees, it was the sound of Ye Yinfeng picking up the man's clothes.
"I said you're fucking okay, hurry up." The leader seemed to be impatient, and cried out.
"Alright, it's almost there." Ye Yinfeng knew the man's tone, and there was still some hoarseness in his words, and the four of them didn't notice any difference in the voice. Maybe they just want to finish the patrol as soon as possible, get a good rest, and then wait for the next patrol.
After a loud sound, Ye Yinfeng dragged the man into the grass, put on someone else's coat and walked out. He was wearing the man's coat that fit perfectly, as if it were made for him.
He bowed his head and took the torch from one of them, but the man who handed him the torch did not pay attention, and after handing it to him hurriedly, he hurried after the three men in front of him. 、
Ye Yinfeng breathed a long sigh of relief, he was safe for the time being, even if he encountered those dark sentinels lurking in the shadows, he didn't have to worry.
He followed the four men from side to side, and there was no one to be seen along the way, except for these patrolmen. If there are only night watchmen left in the big Zhang Mansion, where have the other people gone, this can't help but make him feel a little strange. And didn't this Zhang Mansion just hold a funeral a few days ago, why does it seem that there is no trace at all now.
In the courtyard of the Zhang family, except for the people who were patrolling the night, no other personnel could be seen, and a strange locust atmosphere began to spread.
When the night is dark and the wind is high, it is not necessarily the time to kill, maybe it is also possible that this is the trap of the other party, waiting for those prey to get into the trap.
Ye Yinfeng followed the four night watchmen in front of him to walk around the courtyard of Zhangfu, they were not in a hurry, it was better to say that they were patrolling than to make a show. Of course, they were not the only ones in this mansion, and when they walked to the door of a large house, they were also greeted by a team of five people.
The five-person night patrol team was coming towards them, and each of them was holding a torch high, Ye Yinfeng saw this and hurriedly lowered his head, so as not to be discovered by the oncoming people.
The two teams faced each other, but without a word of conversation, they turned their backs and left, apparently the two teams were not patrolling the same place. Ye Yinfeng found that the team he was patrolling was in some areas to the east of Zhang's Mansion, and the team that left was patrolling some areas to the south, and it was not uncommon for the two teams to cross.
Along the way, Ye Yinfeng secretly wrote down all the routes he had taken, how many houses there were around, how many pavilions there were, which areas had more trees, and where the grass was thicker, all of which he remembered in his heart one by one.
"Okay, let's go back and rest first, this hellish weather is really grandma's cold." The leader said to those behind him.
"Boss, why do you have to patrol again, usually we only need to patrol for a circle or two to withdraw, if this ghost weather is still a circle, people are almost frozen." One of the nurses asked puzzled, and as soon as his words fell, he immediately received a response from the other two.
Ye Yinfeng couldn't make a sound, he was afraid that if he made a sound, he would reveal a flaw, and they would definitely find out at that time, although he was still afraid of these four Zhangjia Courtyard warriors who didn't even have the inner strength realm. But how can there be a gong in the hands of the leader, as long as he finds an abnormality, that person will definitely ring the gong first, and then it will inevitably attract the real masters in this mansion, and then he will really be in a catastrophe.
"Old Five, why don't you keep quiet, you have a lot of things to do on weekdays, and you are also the most talkative, how to untie your hand today as if you have lost your soul, and you have been following behind without saying a word." One of them suddenly turned to look at Ye Yinfeng, and he asked Ye Yinfeng with a joking word.
Ye Yinfeng subconsciously tightened his hands and held the torch far away, so that others could not see his face clearly, and at the same time, he was also thinking about how to answer that person's words.
"Okay, don't be verbose, just hurry up and finish this circle, the lord in the house has arranged it recently, and we should be diligent, lest any thieves come in." The lord also said that there may be some things happening in this house recently, and asked us to increase the number of patrols a few times, and wait for a while before the lord will add money to us. ”
The leader seemed to want to calm everyone's complaints, he interrupted Ye Yinfeng's reply, explained to everyone himself, and also told everyone the promise of the master.
Ye Yinfeng's leader interrupted him, and he breathed a sigh of relief, if he opened his mouth, everyone would definitely find that their voice was different from the voice called Lao Wu, then he would show his original form.
"Everyone lift their spirits, and this is the last lap." The leader's eyes flashed, and he shouted in a low voice, revealing the majesty of the leader, so that everyone did not dare to say more. Although they usually joke about it, it's just that this time it's obviously not the same as before.
Ye Yinfeng followed them slowly around the area to the east of this mansion, and he was also lucky in his heart, the four of them didn't find out that the person named Lao Wu had been dropped.
It's not the route just now, it's still those scenes, rows of houses, a small pavilion, they walked up again.
Just when they walked to the place where there were a few towering ancient trees overgrown with weeds, Ye Yinfeng wanted to see how the old five who were knocked out by him were doing, whether he had woken up, but he still held back, and since he had reached this point, he continued to pretend.
At the door of a large house they met another group of samurai who were on night watch, and they passed by in silence and without any conversation. It's just that he suddenly noticed that the back of the last person on the other team was a little familiar, and when he looked at it again, he found that the back of that person was a little blurry, but he really couldn't remember who the familiar back was.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and then he remembered who the vague back was, and the vague back gradually began to overlap with the back of one, and it turned out to be the back of the man who carried the burden at noon. When the two teams passed by for the first time, Ye Yinfeng didn't dare to look up at the departing team for fear of revealing any flaws, but this time, despite this, he still glanced at it in a hurry, and found the familiar back behind the team.
As he followed behind the four of them, he wondered why the burden-bearer had mixed into the ranks of the night watchmen, and who the burden-bearers had been, and why had he also blended into this mansion like him. Since he can recognize the other party's back, can the other party also recognize his own back, thinking of this, his heart shuddered, this Zhang Mansion is getting more and more weird.
He didn't have time to think about it any longer, and the leader led them to the backyard, where he stopped at a small house. The leader tapped three times in front of the door of the little house with a torch, and then waited silently.
"Password," a muffled voice came from the house.
"The country of Daliang, longevity is boundless", the leader spat out a sentence from his mouth.
As soon as the leader had finished speaking, the door of the small house suddenly opened, and there was no one behind it, as if it had opened automatically.
When Ye Yinfeng heard that secret word, he didn't have time to think about it, because he was thinking about whether to follow the four people into the small house. From the outside, it looks like a small house, but it's much smaller than the others. The same blue brick and red tile house, but Ye Yinfeng didn't think that this house was where they rested, after all, there were two larger houses next to this small house, and this small house seemed very ordinary and not very conspicuous in comparison.
When the leader saw that the door was opened, he did not say a word, but led the others directly into the house.
And Ye Yinfeng still hesitated, there was no way at the moment, neither retreat nor advance. He gritted his teeth and followed the four into the house, and at the same time he felt uneasy, he always felt that an invisible danger was waiting for him.
There was nothing special about this house, it was still pitch black, and the torches in their hands were still lit.
Ye Yinfeng held a torch and looked at the room privately, and no one in this room saw a bed for people to rest, which couldn't help but make him have a little doubt.
As he looked around, he saw a "boom" in his ears, followed by a piercing sound of metal grinding.
He looked forward in confusion, and saw a large hole in the ground on the right side of the room. The other four were gathered around the mouth of the cave, and the leader went into the black cave with a torch, and the others jumped into the hole with the leader.
Ye Yin Fengfeng hurriedly walked to the entrance of the cave and took a look at it with a torch. A row of narrow stone steps led straight down, only to see a dark and gloomy piece below, looking down from above, it was simply the mouth of a fierce beast, devouring the thing that jumped into the hole.
"What are you still rubbing, come down quickly." One of the people who walked into the cave first saw that Ye Yinfeng had not come down for a long time, so he shouted loudly.
"I said the fifth child, even lost his soul after relieving his hand, you still don't believe it." Another voice came slowly, the same one who liked to joke.
"Die and die." Ye Yinfeng gritted his teeth, and also walked down the stone steps, his whole body was full of true qi, and he was ready to take emergency measures at any time. The entrance to the cave was only a foot high, and he walked down tremblingly. Four torches were waiting for him in front of him, and it was the four who jumped down first.
When the four saw him come down, they didn't continue to joke, they kept walking forward.
Ye Yinfeng held a torch and shone around, only to find that this was a stone wall passage, less than a foot high. Overhead, under feet, on the left and right are stone walls. After about a cup of tea, there is a stone staircase leading down to a bend on the left side of the road.
Looking at all this, Ye Yinfeng quietly realized that there was a secret passage in that small house.
No wonder the people of this Zhang Mansion never saw anyone else except for the people who patrolled the courtyard at night, and everyone in this Zhang Mansion thought that they might be hiding in a secret room in this Zhang Mansion. It's just that the scale of this secret room is too large, and there are passages hewn out of stone walls everywhere, which takes how many manpower and material resources to create a secret room of this scale.
As they descended the stone steps, a large stone chamber suddenly appeared in front of them, and the stone chamber was lit with torches all around, illuminating the stone chamber in a bright light.
This should still be considered a passage, but this passage is relatively wide, almost three or four zhang wide, Ye Yinfeng's eyes looked forward along this passage, and the stone walls on both sides in front were full of torches.
When he walked into the stone room, the leader inserted the torch in his hand into an empty slot, which happened to be the place where a torch was inserted, and the other three also followed the leader's example and inserted the torch in his hand into the empty slot.
Ye Yinfeng also found an empty slot without a torch and inserted the torch in his hand, and when he finished the movement in his hand, he turned around and found that the four people were looking at him with strange eyes.
A bad feeling suddenly surged into his heart, and the other party must have found out that he had dropped the old five.
