Zhou Xilian and the others carefully followed the three night walkers.

When the three people sneaked into a forest outside the high southeast wall of Xihu Xiaozhu, Zhou Xilian grabbed Zhan He and gestured with his mouth, and then the two quietly jumped up a tall tree.

I picked up the branches and looked into the garden through the cracks in the trees.

The southeast corner was dimly lit and quiet, but through the dark gaps in the shadows of the trees, it wasn't long before I saw a group of guards patrolling here carrying lanterns.

Zhou Xilian stared at the longing shadow of the guard, counting the heads in his mind and calculating the time it might take for them to come and go.

The three night walkers hiding in the woods must have come from the old world. Naturally, they sneaked into the garden without any hurry. They seemed to be scheming and waiting for the opportunity.

After about an hour of burning incense, the team of guards patrolled around and then walked away again.

Zhou Xilian and Zhan He waited patiently for the three knights to take the first step.

Sure enough, after a while, a dark figure walked cautiously out of the forest, stepping on the slight movement of broken leaves.

When he came to the wall, the man quickly threw out a hook and lock, climbed up the high and formidable wall in a few moments, and then lay down behind the edge of the wall, peering in quietly.

After waiting for a while, there was probably no one around, and then I saw him jumping in.

When the two people who came with him saw that there was no movement in the West Lake building after he entered, they couldn't help but feel happy. They also ran out with their heads high and approached the high wall. They looked around cautiously and then turned over.

On top of the wall——

Seeing this, Zhan He poked Zhou Xilian to indicate if he wanted to go.

Zhou Xilian frowned slightly, glanced at him, and then began to recite the Heart Sutra silently in his heart.

Zhan He understood what he meant, so he stopped talking and just waited quietly.

Before Zhou Xilian could recite the Heart Sutra for the third time, he suddenly heard a noisy sound of dogs barking and people drinking inside the West Lake building, and the dark place in the southeast corner suddenly became bright.

"A thief has entered the house! Come quickly!"

"Going to the west courtyard!"

"Quick, search quickly!"

------

"They were discovered!" Zhan He said slightly nervously.

Zhou Xilian curled her lips: "They thought that since Mr. Jia was not here tonight, the guard in this garden would be relaxed! They really underestimated the most powerful person in Lin'an Mansion!"

"Then are we still going in?" Zhan He asked.

"It's dark under the lamp, this is the best time!"

Zhou Xilian put her arms around Zhan He's shoulders, excitedly approached his ear, and mumbled something ambiguous, "Don't you also like lighting the lamp the most?"

His words were clearly unclear, but Zhan He immediately understood what he meant. His back immediately went numb and he couldn't help but glare at Zhou Xilian. But what couldn't be hidden in the dark night was the trembling in his throat and the palpitating in his heart.

Zhou Xilian didn't take it seriously, but still pinched Zhan He's sensitive earlobe willfully, and then laughed evilly.

Zhan He couldn't help but gasp slightly. He was obviously a little confused by the teasing. He could only push away Zhou Xilian's Lushan claw, which was causing trouble, and held it in the palm of his hand to prevent him from moving.

Zhou Xilian still laughed, and scratched Zhan He's palm again, not allowing him to react anymore, and pulled him with his backhand before jumping down from the tree.

The two ran to the other side and stopped when they reached a wall covered with wisteria.

Zhou Xilian turned over and went straight in. After Zhan He stopped, he looked around cautiously, then touched the wall and climbed in.

As soon as I entered the garden, I saw lights swaying in the distance, followed by restless and nervous footsteps, coming directly this way.

Zhou Xilian then pulled Zhan He into a dark bamboo forest nearby.

In an instant, the group of guards came in a hurry.

The two of them hid in the shadows and calmly stared at the halo of light coming from far away.

After the group was more than halfway through, Zhou Xilian flew out at lightning speed and strangled the neck, mouth and nose of the last guard. The latter was caught off guard and was dragged into the bamboo forest and punched unconscious before he could even whimper.

When Zhan He saw this, he followed suit and dragged in another one.

"Put on their robes!" Zhou Xilian cautiously inquired outside, then whispered.

Upon hearing this, Zhan He quickly took off the guard's robe, handed it to Zhou Xilian first, and then put it on himself.

After a short while, two guards emerged from the other side of the bamboo forest in a dignified manner and headed straight to a lighted courtyard not far away.

When he arrived, Zhou Xilian glanced at the word "Fufeng" engraved on the courtyard door, and then subconsciously stretched out his arms to protect Zhan He behind him.

Then, he knocked on the door of Fufengyuan with a solemn expression——

Soon, the courtyard door opened, and a young boy in Tsing Yi with a somewhat frightened expression appeared.

"A thief broke into the garden just now. Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief, sent me and I to see if anything unusual happened in the nobles' yards." Zhou Xilian said expressionlessly.

The boy looked at him. Although he felt that he was a bit unfamiliar, he did not become suspicious.

He quickly lowered his voice and said: "No, no! Our seventh aunt just came back from Qingfang Pavilion and just lay down! There is absolutely nothing abnormal in our yard!"

Zhou Xilian nodded: "We are also acting under orders, so late, we are afraid that some thieves will disturb the noble man!"

As he spoke, he sighed, pretending to be lazy and leaning against the courtyard door, with a bit of complaint on his face, and lowered his voice and said, "We brothers are exhausted from this late night! I don't know where these things come from!"

When the boy saw this, he immediately felt sad. He also sighed and cautiously looked back into the yard, then folded his hands and started complaining.

"Who says it isn't! This place has been haunted by ghosts or thieves recently, and someone will die soon! Jiu Yiniang is dead, Wang Shitou is dead!"

"Oh, day by day, there is no peace! Tonight is even more exaggerated. Mr. Ping actually stabbed his own son with a knife. The whole house was turned upside down and there was no peace!"

Zhou Xilian's brows twitched slightly, and she pretended to be concerned and asked, "How is the young master doing?"

"I heard that thanks to that Zhao Chonghuan, he saved the young master's life!"

The boy smacked his lips and his eyes turned mysterious.

"However, this Zhao Chonghuan is also a weirdo! I heard that she was suddenly sent back to Lingxue Residence from Qingfang Pavilion with blood from all her orifices, and the old lady even ordered Lingxue Residence to be sealed!"

"Bleeding from the seven orifices?" Zhou Xilian's heart skipped a beat, and his voice couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Zhan He behind him calmly tugged at the hem of his clothes.

The boy didn't pay attention to his reaction, and probably thought this was very strange.

"You still don't know about this? Oh, it's said that most of the ghosts in our house are possessed by her! You said that she was possessed by the Zhenwu Emperor on March 3rd, so it's not like there are ghosts possessed by her now.

possible!"

He took a step closer and muttered, "Just now our aunt said that when she took a look at the little guard, her orifices were bleeding and her eyes were red. She described it as very terrifying and almost scared our aunt to death——"

The boy had obviously just learned such an exciting and exciting anecdote. He had someone to tell him about it, and he wished he could immediately transform into Mr. Wazi Nei and dance and act out it.

What emerged in Zhou Xilian's mind was the scene in the Imperial City Prison in the early morning of that day, when Zhao Chonghuan suddenly went crazy after hearing the sound of the flute and finally vomited blood and fainted.

If it hadn't been for the strange General Wei who rescued him, he would have suspected that Zhao Chonghuan might have died soon!

Thinking of this, his teeth couldn't help but clench——

As a young girl, what kind of accidents had she encountered, and how could it be so tragic?

"Okay, as long as nothing happens!" Zhou Xilian raised his hand to the boy, "We brothers will go to other courtyards to have a look!"

The boy quickly raised his hand.

"Yes! Thank you for your hard work!" He said and quickly closed the door with a "squeak".

Zhou Xilian turned to look at Zhan He: "She is locked up in Lingxue Residence!"

Zhan He nodded and pulled him away without any further explanation: "Let's leave here first!"

At this time, another group of people came hurriedly with wind lanterns from a distance.

Without any delay, the two quickly hid behind a dark forest, and then fled along the corner to the other side.

------

The east wing of Lingxue Residence.

Luo He stood guard outside the door with a solemn expression.

Over there, a door closed all the struggle and pain. Except for the occasional howl or two that could not be suppressed like a trapped animal, this spring night was so quiet that it was truly a beautiful scene with beautiful flowers and a full moon.

Luo He's heart ached inexplicably, and his eyes staring at the double doors were full of unspeakable anxiety and worry. Only Chengquan's hands could express his panic——

This time, there is no Doctor Mu and only the Young Master to help. Can Miss Zhao survive this disaster?

Luo He remembered the way the young master looked at him before carrying Miss Zhao into the door——

He knows he has failed in his duty!

The young master had given him numerous warnings before leaving Pingzhang's house in the morning, but he still failed to protect Miss Zhao!

Luo He never expected that Miss Zhao knew that she could not use her inner strength, but she still went out of her way to save Jia Zixian's life——
