Su Chen nodded, but he didn't mind if he was a new debutant, as long as he was allowed to stay in the Qinglou for one night.

Mother Li was happy and pushed the door into the boudoir.

Su Chen entered the room, and the faint fragrance of rouge came to his nose.

This is quite a high-end Accord, and the furnishings will naturally not be cold. Looking into the boudoir, the pink gauze curtains, green curtains, and decorative curtains and screens in the room are all exquisite and chic.

The bookshelves on both sides, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and other elegant porcelain furnishings.

Behind a gauze curtain, a delicate girl in white plain clothes about fourteen years old could be dimly seen, sitting cross-legged, with a pair of small white jade hands gently holding the piano case, slowly practicing the piano technique.

Obviously, this is a rare place of comfort and tranquility in the Yanyu Building.

Although Miss Anu is a newly debuted Qingqi person, the starting price is very high.

One tael of silver is enough to be a thousand copper coins, which is worth the money earned by the people in the county town who work hard for several months. That's really not everyone is willing to pay this money, and there are naturally very few guests who spend a silver or two to listen to the Shangqing people play a little song here.

Besides, this is still a Qing man who has just debuted and is not yet famous. It's just that the price is still so expensive, and there are no acquaintances to support it, and no one knows it in the boudoir, so far it has not made a single business.

If it weren't for Su Chen, who was a newcomer in the rivers and lakes and didn't understand the market of Qinglou, I am afraid that no one would care about such a price.

The old bustard, Mother Li, ordered Su Chen to sit here, and then withdrew from the boudoir.

Su Chen nodded slightly, didn't say much, just sat down on a tuanpu mat in the room, and listened to the piano quietly.

Through a layer of pink curtains as light as a thin veil, the beautiful face of the girl opposite can be faintly seen, and the crystal snow-like skin between the neck is looming, and the atmosphere is a little delicate.

"What's your last name?"

The girl's voice is sweet and soft, which is very comfortable to listen to.

"The surname is Su, and the name is Chen. ”

Su Chen said.

The girl plucked the jade fingers of the strings, trembled slightly, smoothed the strings, and soon calmed down.

"What does that boy want to hear?"

The girl asked again.

"I'll listen to whatever the girl likes to play. ”

Su Chen didn't know much about piano music, and he wasn't picky, so he came here just to prepare a hiding place. When he comes out of the Cold Mountain Taoist Temple, he can hide here. As for listening to the piano, it's just to pass the time by the way.

"Okay, then let's play two songs "Mountains and Flowing Water" for Gongzi, it is a famous song that Yu Boya's drum and piano meet Zhongzi, and it is rare for bosom friends to meet, I hope Gongzi can like it!"

The plain girl pondered for a moment, promised, and played slowly.

The sound of the piano is ethereal, and you can still see the top of the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, and uncertain. Suddenly, it whirls and turns, like the clear stream spring water of a mountain stream, frolicking and unrestrained, rushing and jumping, crisp and short, as fresh and refined as a ghost in the empty valley.

Soon after, the plain girl finished playing two songs.

She looked up at the opposite side of the curtain, Su Chen was still sitting upright, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Childe is also an elegant person, it is rare to be able to sit and listen for half an hour! ”

Through a pink curtain, Su Chen could still feel the graceful beauty of the smile of the plain girl, and it was indeed a Miaoman Qingqi person who had spent several years of hard work and carefully cultivated by Yanyulou.

But Su Chen was listening to the piano, just to kill the time, and said with a smile: "Miss Anu's piano skills are exquisite, which is refreshing." By the way, sitting for a long time hurts your nerves, you don't mind if I light a stick of incense to refresh yourself, right?"

"Childe Yaxing, it's okay! Burning incense and playing the piano, this is the best way to play the piano, and it has a different artistic conception. There was an incense stand on the table, and there were a few sticks of sandalwood in the cupboard, which I had left over from yesterday. ”

Anu smiled in surprise.

Su Chen smiled awkwardly, he didn't know what incense and piano were.

It's just something else.

He took an incense candlestick from the table, not sandalwood, and quietly slipped out of his sleeve a medicinal incense, inserted it on the candlestick and lit it, and the green smoke lingered, curling like mist.

A faint fragrance lingers in the room.

After the curtain, the Anu girl continued to play the piano, smelling the incense, and after a while, she unconsciously felt a sense of sleepiness, and fell asleep on the piano case.

Su Chen knew that this would be the case.

This medicinal incense is specially made by him with herbs, which has a strong hypnotic effect, and it is easy to fall asleep when you smell it.

This incense plant will burn for a long time, which can ensure that Anu will not wake up in an hour.

When Su Chen saw that she was asleep, he immediately covered his face with a black scarf, and quickly climbed out of the boudoir through the window.

One hour was enough for him to explore the Hanshan Taoist Temple at night, and calmly returned to the Yanyu Building.

...

Night.

Su Chen turned into a sensitive black shadow, and went out from behind the window of the Yanyu Building like a bobcat, avoiding the many thugs in the Qinglou, and silently walked out of the Yanyu Building.

Out of the west gate of the county seat, he soon came to the courtyard wall of the Hanshan Taoist Temple, a remote and uninhabited corner.

At this time, the night was already dark, and the Hanshan Taoist Temple had closed its doors to visitors, and there were no believers and pilgrims entering and leaving.

Only the little Taoist priest who guards the watch keeps vigil and patrols in the Taoist temple.

"Brother Chen, here!"

Ah Chou had been guarding outside the courtyard wall for a long time, in a dark corner, and when he saw Su Chen coming, he looked excited and whispered hello.

"Well, ugly, are things ready!"

Su Chen nodded.

"Bring it!"

Ugly triumphantly patted a chicken coop next to it, which contained a large rooster, and tied its peck, claws, and wings with straw ropes to prevent it from clucking and making noise.

"Okay! I'll sneak into the Taoist temple and guard it first. That Qinghe old road has a quirk of work and rest, and I will not fall asleep until I go to the toilet after the third watch, and I will do it in about half an hour.

You listened carefully to the sound of the gong of the watchman in the county, and when you heard the sound of the third watch, you immediately killed the chicken, carried it from the courtyard wall all the way to the big river at the Ximen Wharf, and threw the chicken into the river.

After that's done, don't linger at the docks, and don't come back here to wait for me. Immediately go back to the county seat and hide in the main hall of Tianyingmen, don't go out again for half a month, everything will wait for this limelight to pass. ”

Su Chen looked at the sky and ordered carefully.

Ah Chou's strength is too weak, and the only thing he can do is to set up a suspicious formation and help him lure the enemy.

In the middle of the night, these freshly spilled blood will definitely attract the attention of the Taoist priests and lead them to the river at the West Gate Wharf, which will reduce many pursuers.

"Okay, remember! Brother Chen, you must be careful, you are much more dangerous than me. ”

Ugly nodded earnestly.

At this time, the cold mountain Taoist temple, the vermilion gate is closed. The temple was deserted, and hardly anyone walked around. Only a few Taoist priests were on guard, patrolling everywhere to prevent water from being dissipated.

Su Chen climbed over the wall, relying on his extraordinary perception, avoiding the bright posts, secret sentinels and patrols within a radius of more than ten zhang, and cautiously sneaked towards the backyard where the Qinghe Dao chief lived.

Qinghe Dao Chang is a first-class master himself, plus there are other first-class master Taoists in the Hanshan Taoist Temple, as well as quite a lot of second-rate good Taoist priests, any one of them will be alarmed, it will lead to a failure.

However, perhaps because the Hanshan Taoist Temple has always been too safe, it is the most holy place in the area of Gusu County, and it is more solemn than the Gusu County Ya.

Almost never thieves dare to come to the Hanshan Taoist Temple to make trouble, theft and other things are naturally rare, the patrol and guard of the little Taoist priests are relatively lax on weekdays, and the vigil is just a casual look, mainly fire prevention.

Su Chen successfully sneaked to the outside of the wing of the Qinghe River Chief.

On the desk in the wing, a few bright oil lamps have been lit.

Qinghe Dao was in the room, sitting cross-legged, looking at a volume of Taoist scriptures. I sat for a while, moved occasionally, and took a sip of tea. And so, for half an hour, he sat in the room.

Su Chen was also waiting patiently outside.

He had already figured out the routine of the Qinghe River Chief these days, and after a short while, the Qinghe River Chief should get up and go to the latrine, a cup of tea, and then return to the wing.

This is his only chance to make a move.

Su Chen patiently continued to wait.

After a short while, from the direction of Gusu County, there was a faint sound of the night watchman beating the gong of the third watch.

Hearing the sound, Qinghe Dao Chang really stretched his waist, stood up, walked out of the wing, closed the door, and went to the thatched toilet in the corner of the backyard.

After Su Chen heard the footsteps and walked out forty or fifty feet away, he quickly jumped from the window and turned over into the room.

A cup of tea is very short-lived, and it must be grasped.

Su Chen let go of his extraordinary perception and swept every corner of the room, searching for anything suspicious in the room with all his might.

The wing room is quite large, and it is a very high-end and luxurious Taoist bedroom.

The bookshelves are full of all kinds of Taoist classics. On the table are pens, ink, paper, inkstones and other items.

But Su Chen looked at the table and found that the flame talisman he saw when he came last time was gone, and he didn't know where it was hidden.

Su Chen couldn't help but secretly say that it was a pity.

He quickly glanced at the bookshelves and counters, and with the acuity of his eyesight, any slight anomaly within ten zhang could be issued.

But it wasn't what he was looking for.

Letters, no!

Valuables, stolen goods and the like, still nothing!

Under the bed, it was even more empty.

None of this is available, and the furnishings in this room are very simple, with almost no place to hide anything. What can be found are some ordinary Taoist daily things, Taoist robes and clothes.

There is not even anything of little value, and it seems to be an honest Taoist style.

But Qinghe Dao Chang colluded with the water bandit Ding 13 to do so many things, how could there be no money, where did all that money go?

"Impossible, if there is no important thing, why is this Qinghe old Taoist guarding this chamber every day? Even when he leaves during the day, he always sends three or five young Taoist disciples who are at least the first- and second-rate realms to guard the door, this must be a confidential place. Otherwise, there is no need to send someone to guard it at all, which is unreasonable!"

Su Chen was a little puzzled.

It suddenly occurred to him that in many stories of the rivers and lakes, there will be secret rooms, secret cabinets, tunnels and other places used to store important items.

Could it be that there is also such a secret room in the room of the head of Qinghe Dao?
