Chapter 29 Sneaking into the Golden House

"What?"

"bride price!!"

When they came to a quiet place, Li Chen repeated what he had just heard, which made everyone angry.

Especially Hong Yiren, who has summoned his two swords and is going to kill people.

Li Chen quickly stopped her, and then said in a deep voice: "After all, this is their territory, we can only outsmart them."

Hearing this, Zhong Liqiu said thoughtfully, "Young monk, please explain in detail."

Li Chen put his hands together in a salute and said in a low voice: "We should not divide our forces into two groups, but should unite inside and outside."

"Why are the troops divided into two groups?"

"Senior, Donor Mo and Donor Ji, the three of you can pretend to be guests and sneak into the Jin Mansion.

You can find out some of the secrets between the Jin family and the Wang family from the guests."

"The three of us will find an opportunity to quietly go in through the back door to see if there is anything going on in Jin Mansion secretly."

"The main purpose is to find Jin Zhuliu!"

Today is Jin Zhuliu's wedding day, and it is not easy to see him alone.

However, Zhong Liqiu thought about it carefully and found that this was the only way he could try. Dangjie nodded: "Just follow this method."

"It just so happens that I traveled to Fei Luzhou when I was young and know a little about the Jin family. It won't be difficult to blend in."

"But you three should be careful."

"As one of the aristocratic families in Fei Luzhou, the Jin family has been dealing in elixirs for generations.

There are many miraculous elixirs hidden in the mansion.

But it has not been lost for hundreds of years.

The reason is that there is a set of traps created by the Mohists."

"No one who breaks into the Jin Mansion will succeed."

Agency trap?

Coincidentally, Li Chen happened to have the inheritance of the Mohist branch.

Li Chen nodded: "Thank you for your concern, senior. Let's take care of each other."

“Play it by ear.”

"good!"

After saying that, the group split into two sides.

Li Chen and the other three found a deserted place and changed into tight-fitting clothes.

After walking around Jin's house, Li Chen focused on a small door to the west.

This door is adjacent to the kitchen, which is specially used to transport vegetables, meat, etc. to the servants.

Li Chen had experience working in Xiangji Kitchen, so when he met him, he immediately called him an expert.

Today is a special day for the Jin family, so Ximen, which is usually quiet, is also busy with traffic at this time.

The three of them were not busy sneaking in, and were hiding in a corner outside the west gate.

Not long after, an empty donkey cart drove towards me.

There was an empty swill bucket in the car.

The Jin family's house is full of guests today, and the swill cart has come and gone many times.

The old man driving the carriage yawned, jumped out of the carriage, used the pony pole, and knocked on the wooden door.

When Li Chen saw this, he smiled, this was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

The three of them tacitly understood each other and hurriedly took the opportunity to slip into the donkey cart.

There are more than a dozen swill buckets on the donkey cart.

There are gaps between the swill buckets.

The three of them took advantage of every opportunity to hide their figures.

Lichen also took the opportunity to release the red scorpion, spitting out bubbles to refract the light to other places.

After everything was ready, the small wooden door opened with a squeak from the inside.

The one who opened the door was still the Jin family guard with a sinister face.

This man looks rough, but his inspection is very detailed.

All vehicles, horses, and people entering and exiting the west gate, no matter how big or small, must be carefully checked by him.

Except for this swill donkey cart.

Sure enough, when the guard opened the door and saw the swill truck, he immediately frowned.

He covered his nose and took three steps back.

But even so, he still stood on tiptoe and glanced at the swill bucket.

They were all black and empty.

He waved his hand very impatiently, signaling the old man to hurry in.

The old man laughed with a smile on his face, then turned around and got on the donkey cart and drove into the courtyard.

The three of them finally successfully entered the Jin Mansion.

The donkey cart turned around and came to a small courtyard. While the old man was peeing, the three of them hurriedly got off the cart.

Li Chen listened with his head bent, as if he was sensing the movement around him.

He suddenly pointed at the wall in front of him, then flew over and climbed over the wall.

Li Sao and Li Ge understood and hurriedly followed.

As soon as Li Chen landed on the ground, he stood up and glanced around. Sure enough, there was no one there, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a small courtyard.

There are many kinds of pots and pans, iron sand, and grinding stones placed in the yard, most of which are specially used for the kitchen.

There is no doubt that this is a junk warehouse.

Li Chen walked around inside and outside the house, and then built a small mechanism with stones and branches behind the warehouse door.

As long as the warehouse door is pushed open from the outside.

The small stones piled up will collapse, making a slight sound.

That means someone is coming.

The three of them discussed briefly and decided to use this place as a temporary hiding place.

Whenever you have nowhere to go, you can come to this small courtyard to escape the limelight temporarily.

If you find something, you can also leave a mark on the corner.

The three of them took a short rest and figured out what was going on around them.

Li Chen determined the direction, looked up, and saw a small building standing in the northeast direction that was as high as the clouds.

Before entering Xinye City, everyone had already seen this iconic building on the fairy boat.

This building is made of golden nanmu. It looks golden from a distance, but the glazed tiles on the roof are rich green.

Represents the Jin family’s spiritual fire of heaven and earth, ‘Greenwood Fire’.

The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands.

Qingmu Tower has ten floors, each floor contains elixirs that have been treasured by the Jin family for hundreds of years.

It can be said to be the core place of the Jin family.

The Mohist organization that Zhong Liqiu mentioned before was probably to protect the elixirs in this building.

Suddenly Li Chen's eyes lit up, the wedding hadn't started yet, maybe the 'Hundred Flowers Essence Pill' was still in the building.

Thinking of this, I immediately thought that I must go to this building to take a look.

The three of them stopped hesitating and started walking in the direction of Qingmu Tower.

With the art of listening and the protective bubbles of Red Rooster, the three of them quickly passed through the servants' activity area.

I have to say that the Jin family's life is indeed luxurious.

The closer you get to the Aoki Building, the more gorgeous the decoration of the house becomes.

At this time, most people were entertaining guests in the front hall, but the inner courtyard was much quieter, with only a few guards passing by occasionally.

The journey of the three of them was smooth, and they were getting closer and closer to Qingmu Tower.

After just a few more steps, the three of them would arrive at Qingmu Tower.

But Li Chen suddenly reached out and stopped Li Ge and Li Sao.

The two looked at Li Chen in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Li Chen frowned lightly, his expression a little serious, and said coldly: "There is a mechanism ahead."

"organ?"

Li Sao's face was slightly surprised and she glanced at the path in front of her.

It's the same as all other trails.

It's flat, clean, and most importantly, no one else passes by here.

Li Sao touched her bald head and was about to ask questions when she saw Li Chen suddenly bend down.

On both sides of this small intersection, there is a small lion about a foot tall, which looks like two stone piers at first glance.

It is mainly used by wealthy people to suppress evil spirits on the road, and it is nothing ordinary in the first place.

But if you look closely, you will find that one of the eyes of the little lion on the left has a deeper pupil, as if it is stained with ink.
