Lu Yan and Zhuge were drinking tea and chatting with me until late at night before being led by Zhui Ming to their guest rooms to rest.

Return to the room.

Xie Zhuoyan looked at Lu Yan and asked, "You seem to like chatting with Zhuge Shenhou?"

Lu Yan nodded and said: "Zhuge Shenhou knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. He is a rare genius."

"Chatting with him will not make people feel boring, and it will also be very interesting. People look forward to meeting him next time."

Xie Zhuoyan was a little curious and asked: "According to what you said, Zhuge Shenhou can definitely be regarded as a good friend."

"If that's the case, why are there so many enemies?"

Lu Yan smiled and replied, "That's because most of Zhuge Shenhou's enemies are greedy."

"If Zhuge Shenhou is as greedy and complicit as them, then I can guarantee that Zhuge Shenhou will definitely become their best friend."

"To put it simply, if we just chat without considering other factors, Zhuge Shenhou will be the friend that everyone wants to make."

Xie Zhuoyan asked again: "What about you?"

"Me?" Lu Yan shook his head, "I'm afraid it's hard for me to be friends with some people."

After speaking, Lu Yan opened the bag and took out a set of night clothes.

Xie Zhuoyan also took out a set of night clothes.

They were going to take a look at the main helm of the Sixth and Half Hall.

Familiarize yourself with the terrain first, so as not to be confused and confused when you go to rescue someone.

After they changed their clothes, they opened the door and went out.

Just when the two were about to leave the Shenhou Mansion quietly, they unexpectedly saw Zhui Ming drinking alone on the courtyard wall.

When Zhui Ming saw the two people arriving, he smiled and said, "Uncle Shi knew that you would visit the helmsman of Liufenbantang at night, so he specially asked me to wait here to lead the way for you."

Lu Yan took off his scarf and said with a smile, "That's really great."

…

A quarter of an hour later.

Lu Yan and his party quietly came to the helm of the Sixth Half Hall.

There are guard towers standing on all sides of the six-and-a-half-minute main helm.

There are four sentries on each watchtower responsible for guarding.

They stood at a high place and looked down at the people below. Even if they were wearing night clothes, it would be difficult to avoid the sight of these people.

"How did you sneak in before?"

Lu Yan glanced at Zhui Ming and asked curiously.

The helm of Liufenbantang is so heavily guarded that it is not an easy task to sneak in.

Zhui Ming looked at the sentry tower, frowned slightly and said: "In the past, the chief helmsman of Liufenbantang did not have these four sentry towers. They should have been built recently."

After hearing this, Lu Yan looked at the nearest sentry tower again and observed carefully.

As expected, we found that the traces on these sentry towers were still very new, and they should have been built in the past two days.

He pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that Liufenbandang was worried about someone sneaking into the main helm to look for Guan Qi, so he built these four sentry towers."

Zhui Ming nodded and said, "This is the only possibility."

Lu Yan continued to observe the situation of the chief helmsman at Liufenbantang.

He soon discovered that in addition to the four guard towers on the surface, there were dozens of hidden stakes.

Even he would have a hard time sneaking into the headquarters under such tight security conditions.

Today is destined to be a failure.

"We'd better retreat first."

"If you act rashly, you may alert the enemy, and it will be difficult to sneak in in the future."

Xie Zhuoyan made a suggestion.

They are here to save people, not just to break into the headquarters.

If you try now, if you fail, it will be difficult to dive in again next time.

Lu Yan and Zhui Ming nodded slightly and prepared to turn around and leave.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew across the sky from a distance and rushed straight towards the rudder of Liufenbantang!

drop!

A sharp whistle sounded.

The next moment, several figures jumped into the air in the darkness, blocking this figure.

Whoosh!

A fine steel crossbow arrow as thick as an arm shot out from the rudder of the Six-and-a-half Hall, and penetrated straight through the chest of the figure, causing blood to splash!

Seeing this scene, the expressions of Lu Yan and the three of them changed slightly!

"I recognize him, he is Shangguan Youyun!"

Zhui Ming let out a low cry as he recognized the identity of the intruder.

Shangguan Youyun is one of the five evil gods of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower, and is in the realm of unparalleled great masters.

When the Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building was bombed, he happened to be outside and escaped the disaster.

Later, when I heard the news, I rushed back immediately, intending to break into the main rudder of Liufen Ban Hall to assassinate Lei Chun and avenge the dead brothers.

But he didn't expect that in addition to the four guard towers placed on the surface, there were also hidden stakes at the Liufenbantang helm.

So much so that he was ambushed and shot through with an arrow.

Lu Yan glanced at the body that fell to the ground and whispered: "It's hopeless, let's go."

This arrow can penetrate even a traveler, let alone an unparalleled master.

Shangguan Youyun is now hopeless. There is no need to expose their whereabouts in order to snatch Shangguan Youyun's body. The gain outweighs the loss.

If Shangguan Youyun was still alive and knew that they were here to save Su Mengzhen, he would definitely not want them to be exposed like this.

Zhui Ming also knew that the best choice at the moment was not to show up and retreat silently.

He looked at Shangguan Youyun's body and silently swore that he would avenge Shangguan Youyun in the future!

…

Shenhou Mansion.

Lu Yan sat at the table with a drawing in front of him.

This is the outer layout of the six-and-a-half-minute hall he just drew.

Four sentry towers, dozens of hidden stakes, and crossbows that are extremely accurate even in the dark.

These things are what they discovered tonight, and they are the obstacles that will prevent them from sneaking into the Six and a Half Minutes Hall.

"I need to know when they switch."

Lu Yan whispered to himself.

Whether it is the defense change time of the sentry tower or the defense change time of the hidden pile, it is necessary to understand it clearly.

Xie Zhuoyan came over, put a big cloak on Lu Yan, and said, "It's getting late, let's rest first."

Lu Yan nodded slightly and sighed helplessly.

Originally, his plan was to force his way into the main helm of Liufenbantang and rescue Su Mengzhen by force.

But Guan Qi's sudden appearance was completely outside of his plan.

Breaking in knowing that Guan Qi was at the helm of Liufenbandang was really not much different from committing suicide.

So he could only change his strategy, from breaking in to sneaking in.

But it seems that infiltrating is not a simple matter.

What a headache.

…

The next day.

Lu Yan slept until three o'clock in the morning before lazily getting up.

At this time, Xie Zhuoyan had been practicing swordplay in the yard for a while.

After Lu Yan washed up, he moved a stool and sat in the sun watching Xie Zhuoyan practice his sword.

Holding a bowl of rice porridge in his left hand and a piece of meat pie in his right hand, he was eating breakfast carelessly.

"I have never been to Bianjing before. Let's go shopping today."
