A knife in love

Chapter 3844
Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Ye Fengchun thought that the entrance to the secret path was in the Mingguang Palace, so they watched Mao Shusheng walk towards the main entrance on the south side, and they didn't care, thinking that he was just pretending on purpose.But I didn't expect that Mao Shusheng walked out of the door without stopping at all.Seeing this situation, the three of them were startled and confused, not knowing what Scholar Mao was up to, and dared not follow him out of the gate easily.It's just that the three of them knew that it was like an arrow on the string at this time, so they had no choice but to shoot. They looked at each other, Li Qiufeng nodded slightly, and Ye Fengchun knew his intentions. past.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan followed suit and walked out of the gate one by one.

At this time, it was completely dark, Mao Shusheng walked out of the gate, and immediately disappeared from Li Qiufeng and others.Li Qiufeng was startled in his heart, and immediately stopped, blocking Murong Danyan behind him.Ye Fengchun originally followed closely behind Mao Shusheng, but after walking out of the gate, Mao Shusheng suddenly disappeared. He was so frightened that he turned pale with fright, and hurriedly stopped in his tracks.

Li Qiufeng had been to the Mingguang Hall several times before, and he remembered that there were many lanterns hanging outside the Mingguang Hall, illuminating the vicinity like daylight.A lantern is hung every Zhang Xu on the zigzag corridor on the pond. Looking from a distance, the lights are brilliant, which has the beauty of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River.But at this time, not only all the lanterns outside the Mingguang Hall had been extinguished, but even the lanterns hanging in the corridor were blown out, so the three of them saw the darkness, and it was impossible to see where Mao Shusheng had gone.

Seeing this situation, Murong Danyan thought that Mao Shusheng had set up a trick to kill the three of them, so he held the hilt of the sword with his right hand and drew out his long sword to chase Mao Shusheng to death.At this moment, Li Qiufeng lowered his voice and said: "Girl, don't worry! The situation is unclear right now, so don't rush to kill people. At least let's go back to the Mingguang Palace and make a decision after seeing the surrounding situation clearly."

When Murong Danyan heard what Li Qiufeng said, although he was in doubt, he still didn't draw out his long sword in the end, but just clenched the hilt of the sword with his right hand and listened carefully to the movement around him.Ye Fengchun said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Li, the Mao surname tricked us here, I'm afraid he's going to kill us. Let's go back to the main hall as soon as possible, kill everyone in the hall, and then run back to the mansion to join the guys... "

Before Ye Fengchun finished speaking, a very dim yellow halo suddenly lit up in front of the eyes of the three of them. They saw Mao Shusheng standing about ten feet in front of the three of them, holding a short stick in his right hand, with a bean shining on the end of the stick. fire.The flame was very faint, and could only illuminate a few feet in front of Mao Shusheng.When the three of them saw Mao Shusheng at first sight, they were all startled, and they didn't speak for a while.

Under the light of the fire, Mao Scholar smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "Why did Mao deceive the three of you? It was just to conceal the entrance of the secret passage from being exposed to others, so he ordered people to extinguish the lanterns inside and outside the Mingguang Hall. In this way, if we go to the secret passage, even if someone is watching secretly, finding the entrance of the secret passage will be more difficult than climbing to the sky. Please ask shopkeeper Ye Da and the two young masters to follow behind Mao, and we will go to the secret passage to inspect together."

Ye Fengchun saw that Scholar Mao hadn't run away and hid, and thought that all the words he said in a panic just now reached this person's ears. Although he had a thick skin, it was quite embarrassing at this time, so he laughed dryly, and said in his mouth: "Just now The owner of the villa suddenly disappeared, and there was darkness all around again, Ye Mou was in a hurry, and he spoke indiscriminately, and please don't pay attention to the offending things."

Scholar Mao shook his head, and said, "Where did Master Ye say anything? It was Mao who didn't explain the matter clearly in advance, which surprised the three of you. It was Mao who was at fault, and Mao should plead guilty to the three of you." Yes. Shopkeeper Ye Da doesn’t need to care about this matter, if we change places, I’m afraid Mao will have fainted from fright now.”

Although Ye Fengchun said it politely, he was really annoyed in his heart. He thought to himself that the bastard Mao Shusheng was playing tricks to scare me into embarrassment in front of Li Baihu and Mu girl.Damn it, let this bastard be rampant for a while, and after we find the secret way, we will take this bastard as a hostage first, and then I will have to beat him a few big ears and let out a bad breath before we talk.

When Ye Fengchun was thinking, Mao Shusheng continued: "Mao is leading the way, please walk behind Mao. The corridor is narrow, and the fire stick in Mao's hand is weak, so when the three walk Be careful lest you stumble and fall into the pond."

After Mao Shusheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the stone steps.Li Qiufeng was taken aback when he heard what Mao Shusheng said, and secretly wanted to hear what Mao Shusheng said, but the secret way was not in the Mingguang Palace.He said that he would take us up the corridor, so could it be that the secret passage is on the opposite side of the pond?Earlier, Scholar Mao and Monk Tonghai had said that the princess was very annoyed by the dispute between Scholar Mao and Pu Benyuliang's nephew, and there was a rift between Scholar Mao and him.Mao Shusheng was treated coldly by the princess and forced by Pu Ben Yuliang's uncle and nephew, so he had to live in the Mingguang Palace. In fact, he had already abandoned all the houses across the pond, allowing Pu Ben Yuliang and his nephew to run amok there.If the secret path is across the pond, wouldn't it be under the control of Pu Ben Yuliang's uncle and nephew?How could Scholar Mao give up on such an important place?
Li Qiufeng was full of surprises, and he didn't follow Mao Shusheng down the stone steps for a while.Since he didn't take a step forward, Murong Danyan and Ye Fengchun naturally wouldn't follow Mao Shusheng down the stone steps, and could only watch helplessly as a dim yellow halo slowly walked down the stone steps.Seeing that Mao Shusheng was about to walk down the stone steps, with the light of the torch in Mao Shusheng's hand, he saw a person standing under the stone steps, it was Mao Pingsheng, the chief housekeeper of Bailian Villa.

When Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Ye Fengchun came to Bailian Villa, Mao Pingsheng greeted them outside the gate of the villa.After that, the three of them met Mao Pingsheng several times, but this person rarely spoke when meeting the three of them, he just stayed with Mao Shusheng or Monk Tonghai, and let them dictate.Therefore, although the three met Mao Pingsheng many times, it was difficult for them to notice his existence.At this moment, Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Ye Fengchun were startled when they saw Mao Pingsheng standing at the foot of the stone steps with his hands down.It's just that the three of them thought about it again, Mao Pingsheng is the chief steward of Bailian Villa and a member of the Mao family, so he is naturally Mao Scholar's confidant.Mao Scholar wants to take us to inspect the secret path, and he must be with him. In Bailian Villa, Mao Shusheng's most important confidantes are Monk Tonghai and Mao Pingsheng.It's just that although Monk Tonghai is Mao Shusheng's mastermind, he is not a member of the Mao family after all, so he doesn't know where the entrance to the secret path is located.In this way, Mao Shusheng's attendant can only be Mao Pingsheng.This person usually doesn't show his mountains and dews, but he can sit on the position of the chief steward of Bailian Villa, and he is also a close friend of Mao Shusheng. He must be a capable person. When we deal with this person, we must not be careless.
