too affectionate

Chapter 108 Knowing that there are tigers on the mountain, I prefer to go to the mountain (second update)

In stark contrast to the lively and intimate atmosphere in the wing room, there is a dead silence in the study room.

Xuan Ying sat in front of the desk and meditated, his complexion frosted with solemnity.

Today in the court, Xu Jie's embezzlement and perversion of the law were exposed, His Majesty was furious, and he was imprisoned in court, shaking the court and the public.

Looking at the entire Tianquan, no state capital is not under the sphere of influence of the Ren Party, and this time the nine county magistrates of Shuzhou actually spoke the truth against the pressure of the Shuzhou Chief Envoy, Xuan Ying didn't even need to think about it If you want to know, who is behind this.

This Xu Jie was cultivated by Ren Linge for many years to help him to the position of the right servant of the household department, and he was also the best shield in front of Ren Yuanzhen.

Being overthrown now, although it didn't affect His Majesty's trust in the Ren family, after all, Ren Linge's years of painstaking efforts were wasted, and a member of the Ren party was damaged.

According to Ren Linge's vindictive character, Wanyan really offended him thoroughly this time.

The sense of uneasiness in Xuan Ying's heart has always lingered in Wan Yan's heart since the first day she became an official.And since Wanyan went to Shuzhou, this feeling of uneasiness has become more and more intense, almost disturbing Xuanying's mind.

Xuan Ying turned his head to look in the direction of Mrs. Shi's bedroom, and sighed heavily.

Yan'er, you're causing big trouble...

At midnight in Jinguan City, two vigorous figures were advancing rapidly on the roof, leaving only a black track that was almost blurred, and slid straight into Kui Mansion from the high wall of the mansion.

The sleeping Kui Mansion was eerily quiet, the moonlight penetrated into the scattered dead branches and leaves, and the shadow of the moon was blown by a gust of autumn wind.

Both Wanyan and Hengli were wearing light black night gowns, and after a simple touch to confirm, they went straight to the ancestral hall.

All the tablets of Kui's ancestors are enshrined in the ancestral hall, and the faint candlelight is the only light in the whole Kui Mansion.

This Kui Jianning is the number one businessman in Shuzhou known for his ruthlessness and ingenuity, and he managed to allow two people to easily enter his mansion. Everything went so smoothly that it was unbelievable.

But both Wanyan and Hengli tacitly understood that the success at this time is not so much luck as it is more like the short tranquility before inviting the king into the urn.

Both Wanyan and Hengli felt full of weirdness, but there is no way out now, and they must find out before they can live up to this trip.

The expressions of both of them were focused and serious, and their ears erected alertly showed that they were both on high alert at this time.

After entering the ancestral hall, Wanyan stepped forward with a clear goal and lifted the thick curtain on the east side of the ancestral hall.

Yet behind it was just a blank wall, nothing at all.

Heng Li spread out her left hand without saying a word, and a transparent force surged out instantly, lingering in the room, careful enough not to miss any corner.

Soon, Heng Li's eyes fell on the tablet stand, the tablet on the left in the second row from top to bottom.

Heng Li flicked his fingers lightly, and the row turned half a circle to the west by itself, and then there was a sudden "click" behind the two, and a copper tiger's head appeared out of thin air on the originally blank wall.

"My God!" Wanyan couldn't help lowering her voice and sighed: "Hiding the mechanism under the tablet of the ancestor, this behavior is too Kui Jianning, right?!"

Now Kui Jianning has become a very commonly used adjective in Wanyan's dictionary. It can describe people's insidiousness and cunning, and it can also describe people's shamelessness.

Heng Li gave Wanyan a cold glance, Wanyan shut her mouth immediately, quickly took out her dagger from her boot, lightly pressed a button-sized mechanism at the bottom of the dagger handle, and a half-inch-long silver needle was released. Pops out from the bottom of the dagger handle.

Wanyan knocked left and right on the tiger's head first, then took the silver needle, put her ear on the side of the tiger's head, inserted the silver needle into a small hole the size of a needle tip at the lower end of the tiger's head, and listened carefully. Hearing the sound of the organ inside, he cautiously moved it little by little with the silver needle.

A quarter of an hour later, Wanyan was already bowed until her waist was sore and her legs were so numb that she couldn't hold herself back. Her whole body was shaking, but she still listened attentively, as if she didn't feel the slightest pain in her body.

Another quarter of an hour later, there was finally a crisp "click" sound from the tiger's head, Wanyan almost screamed excitedly when she heard it, but fortunately she saw Heng Li's restraining eyes, she immediately raised her arms and cheered silently Replaced the grass to scare the snake.

Then Wanyan lightly pressed the tiger's head's left eye, and the wall in the center suddenly moved back, leaving a small gap just enough for a person to enter.

Wanyan was about to get in when Heng Li suddenly grabbed her sleeve from behind.

As soon as Wanyan turned her head, she saw Heng Li beckoning her to stand back with her eyes.

Wanyan immediately understood that Heng Li wanted to take the lead, so that if he encountered any danger, he would take the lead first, so as to leave a chance for Wanyan behind.

However, Wanyan didn't want to change positions at first, but seeing Heng Li's appearance that she would not leave without compromise, it would be a waste of time, so she had to turn sideways to let Heng Li advance.

It was pitch black inside the stone gate, and I couldn't see anything clearly, so I could only grope forward while leaning on the wall.

Even so, Wanyan could clearly feel that they were walking on a steep downhill road.

Wanyan was about to take out her fire pocket from her purse, when she heard Heng Li suppressing her voice, and stopped her in a deep voice: "Don't touch the fire pocket!"

Wanyan was at a loss, but she obediently put away the booklet immediately.

"You smell the faint smell of oil in the air." Heng Li stopped and said softly.

Wanyan sniffed left and right with her nose, but she couldn't smell anything except the damp smell of the cave.

Her dog's nose sensitivity is only for delicious food, and she is not at all sensitive to the smell of other things.

"We should have been ambushed." Heng Li said in a deep voice, his tone so calm that it was as common as having dinner in an ambush.

"It seems so." Wanyan nodded in the dark.

Maybe it was infected by Heng Li's calmness, or maybe it was just because Heng Li was standing beside her, even though Wanyan, who was standing in the dark, couldn't see anything clearly, she somehow gained confidence in her heart.

"Keep walking and watching." Heng Li said in a low voice.

Now that you are already in the trap, even if you turn back, you will inevitably be imprisoned, so it is better to get closer to the truth.

Just when Wanyan was about to touch the wall and move on, her lips were suddenly touched by a delicate touch, which made her feel slightly cold.

It was Heng Li's fingertips, and he could vaguely feel a small pill on it.

Before Heng Li could explain, Wanyan swallowed Wanyan without thinking.

Heng Li didn't explain much, but simply reminded: "This pill can only relieve common poisons such as Ruanjinsan, so you should be more careful."

"Understood." Wanyan replied softly, and the two began to move forward slowly again.
