The two walked quietly towards the direction of the embroidered building. After entering the small courtyard, Qiao Xianyong looked around. The courtyard was as dark and quiet as ever. He then looked up at the upper floors of the embroidered building. The candles in several wing rooms had obviously been extinguished.
The lights were turned on, and the entire Baisha Escort Bureau fell into silence.
At this moment, several flashes of lightning quickly lit up the western sky. In Guang'an Town in late summer and early autumn, there were a lot of thunderstorms, and there were lightning and thunder almost every night. Then, bursts of rolling thunder sounded.
Sky.
Xi'er pointed to an old elm tree with lush branches in the corner of the courtyard, and the two of them hid in the shadow of the old tree, and both raised their heads and stared at the wing on the second floor of the embroidered building.
"It doesn't look like there's anything unusual." Xi'er said in a very low voice.
Qiao Xianyong felt a slight movement in the boring air. He shook his head and signaled to wait.
Half the time of burning the incense had passed, and Xi'er was already impatient with waiting. Just as he was about to wave away the mosquitoes nearby, Qiao Xianyong suddenly tugged on his sleeves and said in a trembling voice, "There is light!"
Xi'er looked intently, and sure enough, from the eastmost wing, there was a faint glow of candlelight, but it was extremely eye-catching in the dark night. "It's Shangguanlian's room." Xi'er murmured.
Said, "It looks like there's something wrong."
The wooden door of the east wing was pushed open very slightly, and even the "squeak" sound was almost inaudible. Then a slender figure flashed out of the door very lightly, holding a bottle tightly in his hand.
The thin and long white candle shone with weak light. The figure seemed a little nervous and hesitant, looking up, down, left, left, and right in the courtyard for a while.
Xi'er and Qiao Xianyong looked at each other, both tensed up and did not dare to make a sound. Both of them saw correctly, this was undoubtedly Shangguan Lian.
The figure probably felt that there was nothing unusual in the courtyard, so he held the white candle and quietly walked through the first room next door to the east wing like a nocturnal civet cat, and came to the door of the second room. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then
I carefully observed the room through the window paper beside the door. When I was sure that there was no movement in the room, I slowly opened the door.
Qiao Xianyong whispered to Xi'er, "This main room is the boudoir of Mr. Lu's daughter." As soon as he thought of this, he wanted to rush out, but Xi'er held his sleeve.
Xi'er said in a deep voice, "Wait a moment, maybe Shangguanlian will come out soon. It won't be too late for you and I to go up again after a while."
However, Shangguan Lian did not immediately exit Lu Qiuxian's room door as the two of them imagined. Except for the dim candlelight, there was no movement in the closed young lady's boudoir.
Qiao Xianyong didn't hesitate anymore, stood up and walked towards the embroidery building. Xi'er followed closely. When they got downstairs, Xi'er lifted up her energy, held Qiao Xianyong and jumped directly onto the second floor walkway of the embroidery building. The two landed lightly.
, without making any sound. Qiao Xianyong gestured to Xi'er with his thumb, praising him for his dexterity. Xi'er grinned, stretched out his hand and pierced the window paper of Lu Qiuxian's boudoir, and pulled Qiao Xianyong to look inside.
Qiao Xianyong came closer and first smelled an inexplicable fragrance, but it was not the usual fragrance of Shangguan Lian. The fragrance was very sweet and intoxicating. After smelling it, his limbs seemed to feel extremely comfortable, and he just wanted to smell it again and again. Xi'er
But his face changed, and he said very softly, "Mixiang is great." He took out an unknown pill from his arms and stuffed it into Qiao Xianyong's mouth without saying a word.
After taking the pill into his mouth, Qiao Xianyong immediately felt refreshed and his head was no longer as groggy as before. He looked intently into the small hole again.
The layout of this main wing is similar to that of the east wing, but it is more spacious. There is a bed directly opposite the door and close to the inner wall, and the light white curtain above it is not lowered for some reason.
I saw a person wrapped in a soft quilt on the bed, and Shangguan Lian was standing beside the bed holding a white candle in one hand, bending over and seeming to look at the person lying on the bed.
Qiao Xianyong and Xi'er didn't dare to express their anger and carefully held their breath.
Shangguan Lian looked at it for a while, put the white candle on the bedside table, then sat down on the bedside, let out a long sigh, and turned to look at Lu Qiuxian who was lying on the bed. She turned her head for a moment.
Then, Qiao Xianyong seemed to see pity and affection mixed with cruelty and ruthlessness in his eyes.
"So beautiful, so beautiful. Women in the world are indeed the most beautiful when they are not married!" Qiao Xianyong couldn't help but trembled when he heard Shangguan Lian's eerie low praise.
Lu Qiuxian was lying motionless on the bed, as if she couldn't hear any sound. It was obvious that Shangguanlian's fragrance was so powerful that she lost consciousness.
Shangguan Lian reached out and slowly lifted off the thin quilt on Lu Qiuxian's body, staring at her half-naked body. Qiao Xianyong could hear that his breathing seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
At this moment, another ear-splitting thunder sounded, and the sky was instantly covered by dense dark clouds. This night was different from the previous night, raindrops as big as soybeans poured in from the sky mercilessly, although there were two people above their heads.
The eaves covered me, but I was still mostly wet.
Covered by the sound of thunder and rain, Qiao Xianyong leaned into Xi'er's ear and said, "I don't think we can wait any longer. You must identify the acupoints correctly. After entering the door, tap his mute acupoints first to prevent him from making a sound. I have
Let's tie him up with the rope and take him out of the yard first. Try to be as gentle as possible. I hope no one in this house will notice anything strange when I get up early tomorrow."
Xi'er understood and whispered, "This Shangguan Lian is a three-legged cat kung fu, and he is determined not to be able to defeat you. What's more, he is currently weak. Try to control him within three moves. Yesterday, I saw that behind the north wall of Baisha Escort Bureau is a
Liulin, I will take him to the forest first, and you can restore this place to its original state before coming back."
After the two of them discussed quietly, Xi'er slowly pushed open half of the wooden door and quickly stepped inside. Qiao Xianyong followed closely behind. As soon as the two entered the door, they stood against the wall. The white candlelight flickered and could not illuminate what they were seeing.
Where he stood, Qiao Xianyong quietly closed the wooden door again.
Another bolt of lightning struck the sky. With this bright light, the two of them saw that Shangguan Lian had turned his back to them and was completely naked. He was indeed an extremely thin and fair man. He was looking at the unconscious Lu Qiuxian with a ferocious smile.
He was as ecstatic as if he was looking at the prey in his bag. He didn't notice anyone entering the room at all, and he was probably feeling happy that the rolling thunder protected him from doing evil deeds.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Xi'er rushed forward very quickly, took out a golden needle in his hand, and accurately stabbed Shangguanlian's mute point on the back of his neck. Shangguanlian turned around in pain, probably never dreaming of his attacker.
The person who saved him was speechless, but no sound came out of his mouth, so he raised his fist and punched Xi'er in the face.
