a very dark dark guard

Chapter 87: Investigating the Mansion at Night
In Huaicheng, Fu Yifu sent the signal of 'eliminate the crisis and retreat quickly'.The reinforcements who supported him did not enter the city, and they did not see us.

But the Fu family sent money, and passers-by had a share. This news should have spread to Yulan City long ago, and the backers of the Fu family must have known that something happened to them.

Even if you don't send people into the city, but just ask passers-by, you can still know who lifted the 'house cover' of Huaicheng.

Ordinarily, when we entered Yulan City, the younger brother of the city official's wife must have been prepared, waiting in ambush for us.

I deliberately picked this inn, and I also meant to throw myself into a trap. All the inns in Huaicheng belong to the Fu family, and maybe Yulan City is the same.

But Xiaoer's attitude towards us was no different from other residents, but he was very enthusiastic towards the fake An Daxia. The boss even came out to toast, but we didn't have this kind of treatment.

Maybe the owner of this inn hasn't got the information about our appearance, maybe they want to numb us?
In short, An Daxia is doing well here and earning a lot of money.

The dinner is full of free wine and food, as well as exquisite supper, served in his room like flowing water.

Ximen Wuhen's desire to win and lose came out again, and he planned to spend a lot of money to double the food and drinks.

I stopped him, quickly distracted him, and told him to go to the bookstore to find the code book left by the guards Jia and the others.

Yulan City is too big, divided into four districts, east, west, north and south, with a population of hundreds of thousands. We don't know where the guards Jia and the others live, or if they have left here.

Ximen Wuhen took Yue Nanxiang and Manager Zhang out together, and if Yue Nanxiang wanted to visit the night market, Manager Zhang had to follow, and it would be safe for the three of them to go together.

I asked Xiaojiao to go out to buy snacks, and I also bought red silk by the way, tied it into big red flowers and tied it to the window.

This is the secret code I have agreed with Yueba. They are my employees now, so they will meet up according to my request.

I didn't ask them what the code word was with Mr. Zhang.

With Xiaojiao helping me with daily chores, I can practice with peace of mind.

She handles all the lock tasks like asking the buddy to deliver water.

As long as Yun Zhou has me, snacks, and toys, he doesn't care about anything else.

It was already late at night when Yue Nanxiang and the others came back, she bought a bunch of delicious and interesting things, all in double portions, she was so tired that she fell asleep, Ximen Wuhen carried her back.

Manager Zhang carried all the food and toys. Before entering the house, he knocked on the door on our side, handed over the things for Yunzhou to Xiaojiao, and they went back to the house to rest.

I told Xiaojiao not to sleep tonight, Yunzhou doesn't care, she has to stay awake and watch the night.

I put on my night clothes and told her to be smart and be alert for any movement. If someone sneaked into the room to harm them, she would tell Yunzhou to take action.

If there is only movement outside the house and no one enters our room, there is no need to call Yunzhou.

Don't worry about Ximen Wuhen's house, he has high martial arts skills, and he can detect any changes.

Xiaojiao asked me where I was going, but I didn't tell her, I just told her that if I didn't come back before dawn, then they had to leave Yulan City immediately and follow Ximen Wuhen to the Devil's Cult.

Ximen Wuhen brought back the book of codes from the bookstore, sandwiching it among the toys he brought to Yunzhou.

The guards Jia and the others didn't dare to all come into the city because they heard that there was a big boss in Yulan City who was the backer of the Fu family and his son. They only sent the guard Jia into the city to release the code book.

The fact that they took money from the Fu family at night was also known to everyone, and everyone in Yulan City heard the news.

They were afraid of retaliation by the backers of the Fu family, so they only sent guard Jia in to deliver books and buy food.

He consigned the book of codes to the bookstore, bought enough dry food for his journey in the wild, and left the city.

Wan'er suggested that they go to the Devil's Cult first, so that if they stop at one stop, it would be easy to cause problems.

They also felt that it would be too risky to stay longer, so they unanimously agreed to go to the territory of the Demon Cult.

Wan'er has a license plate from Ximen Wuhen, so she can lead people in.

It's just that in this way they have to trek in the wilderness and mountains, which must be much harder than walking on the road.

Ximen Wuhen had already read the code book, so he should have known that Wan'er was on her way to the territory of the Demon Cult.

Thinking that there was nothing to worry about, I decided to take a risk and visit the home of Mo Qiwei's younger brother, Mo Ai.

In Mo Qiwei's generation, women's names have the word "Qi" in the middle, and men's names have the word "Guang" in the middle.

For example, Mo Guangxuan, the current monarch of Tengxue Country, and Mo Qiwei's direct brother, Mo Guangye.

And Mo Ai is not qualified, he is an illegitimate child not recognized by the royal family.

But his mother died early, and was sent back to his father's house when he was just over one year old.

His father, King Han, didn't want to see this illegitimate son. He had an excellent eldest son and a caring daughter.

He was able to grow up smoothly in Prince Han's mansion, all thanks to Concubine Han Tong.

Seeing that he lost his mother when he was young, Mrs. Tong took him to her yard to raise him.

He and Mo Qiwei are the same age, they grew up together, they ate, drank, played and studied together.

Mo Guangye was seven years older than them. He was smart and studious, and had high hopes from his elders. He entered the palace at a young age and studied with the prince.

Therefore, Mo Qiwei didn't have many opportunities to get in touch with her own brother. Instead, she got along with this half-brother day and night and had a deep relationship.

Mo Guangye's status and his excellence meant that other brothers had no chance to compete with him.

Especially Mo Ai, he has no biological mother to fight for him, let alone a maternal grandparent to rely on, and he was raised under the lap of his wife since he was a child, and has a very close relationship with his aunt.

Mo Qiwei trusted him quite a lot, and he had no intention of being an official or doing business in the capital. When Mo Qiwei got married, he moved to Magnolia City with his sister.

Concubine Han is also happy that after her daughter gets married, relatives are still by her side to take care of her.

Now it seems that their siblings are taking good care of them.

Mo Ai's house is not far from the city government, only two streets away.

Mo Ai has no wife or concubine, so he is the only master in the family.

Maybe he knows that he has done too many bad things, the mansion is heavily guarded, there are guards patrolling the mansion in shifts, and there are guards in each courtyard.

The courtyard where he lived was patrolled by a team outside, and someone stood guard inside.

There were people watching at the gate of the courtyard and outside the door of the room, and there were several secret guards hiding in the dark.

There is no one whose martial arts are higher than mine, but there are two who are on par with me.

The calm and turbulent air will inevitably attract their attention.

My 'Qi' silk moves with the wind and floats into the courtyard with the wind.

Mo Ai's window was left open, the wind blew in, and my breath also floated into the window.

The breeze blew the gauze beside the bed, and the 'qi' silk took the opportunity to get into the gap between the gauze.

Through the 'qi' thread, I can perceive a person lying on the bed, and in a deep sleep.

The 'Qi' thread fell on the back of his hand and infiltrated silently.

When external 'qi' enters the body, people will feel it.

It's just that this person was in a deep sleep and was not woken up.

I am outside the courtyard wall, since I have succeeded, there is no need to disturb other people.

The night was getting dark, but there were still a few lively areas in Yulan City, where the lights were brightly lit, making other places even darker.

I walked through the dark alleys and came to the city official's mansion. There are not as many guards here as there are in Mo Ai's mansion.

Perhaps Wan Shize didn't know what his wife and brother-in-law had done, and the siblings didn't dare to strengthen the guards of the city government so as not to arouse his suspicion.

But for such a trivial matter, you can increase the guards for any reason, even if you arrange a fake assassination.

Although the city official looked the same as usual, I was extra cautious and didn't dare to get too close.

I squatted on a tree outside the house for half an hour, finally waiting for a cat.

The cat jumped from the tree to the courtyard wall of the city government, and it seemed that it was going to jump in.

I seized the opportunity and let out the 'qi' thread to get into the cat's body.

The 'air wire' is inside the cat, as long as the distance is too far, I can perceive something through it.

It's a pity that there is no way to manipulate it to go to a specific place, so it can only run by itself.

It ran to where there was food, in the backyard of the city government.

A young woman prepared food for it. It should be very familiar with this person, so it was not afraid to be vigilant, so it naturally walked up to eat the cat food she prepared.

The woman waited for the cat to finish eating and picked it up.

Seeing that the opportunity came, I activated the power again, and the 'Qi' silk came out of the cat's body and entered the woman's body.

I don't know who that woman was, but she was a pregnant woman.

Women who live in the city official's mansion, live in the backyard, or are pregnant, are mostly the city official's concubines.

Mo Qiwei has two daughters after marriage, and both daughters are six or seven years old.

I haven't heard that she has delivered good news recently.

And this pregnant woman's month is old, and she should have given birth within two months.

The people in the city only saw the city official's wife out on errands a few days ago, if she was pregnant with Liujia, the news would have spread throughout the city.

I hide the 'gas' wire to avoid hurting the fetus.

Take a small step first tonight, and we will see the situation tomorrow.

Since Wan'er and the others have gone to the territory of the Demon Cult, we don't have to stay here for long.

Even if you want to stay, there is no need to stay all of them.

With Ximen Wuhen around, the safety of Manager Zhang and Yue Nanxiang is guaranteed.

It's really dangerous to act chivalrously, and it's fine if I do it alone.

I went back to Fenglai Inn and circled several times on the way, but I didn't find anyone following me.

After jumping out of the window and returning to the room, Yunzhou came over immediately. He was wearing pajamas, but he was not lying on the bed. Xiaojiao quickly explained that she advised Yunzhou to sleep, but Yunzhou refused to listen and insisted on sitting and waiting.

She had a hard time stopping him last time, but this time she didn't dare to do it again, so she could only forcefully persuade him, but Yunzhou refused to listen.

"It's okay, it's fine if he doesn't listen, let him go. You go to rest, you'll be fine tonight." I opened another room for Xiaojiao, next to Ximen Wuhen and them, there is only one wall between them, if there is any movement in her room , Ximen Wuhen could hear it.

After Xiaojiao returned to the room, Yunzhou immediately ran to the bed and lay down to sleep without me opening his mouth, and fell asleep in seconds.

When Xiaojiao left and Yunzhou fell asleep, three knocks sounded softly outside the window.

"Come in." I walked to the window, and a figure jumped into the window, standing right in front of me.

"Boss An."

"Well, how's the investigation going?" I'm not used to being someone else's master, and I'm indeed someone's superior, so I asked Yue Ba and the others to call me Mr. An, according to modern people's address.

The person who came was Yue Ba, who was sent to the city by me to investigate the situation in advance. She went to the city ahead of time, so she must have obtained more information than me.

"I found out." Yue Ba told me the news she found out, including one thing I just wanted to know.

The woman who is about to give birth in the backyard of the city official's mansion is indeed the city official's concubine. She was originally a girl in the mansion, responsible for cleaning the study, and was favored by the city official. Now she is pregnant. The doctor said it was a boy. She is in the mansion. The status has risen with the tide.

Mo Qiwei has no son, and the concubine in the house either does not give birth to a daughter or gives birth to a daughter. If she can give birth to a boy, it will be Wan Shize's first son.

The idea of ​​patriarchal patriarchy in this world is deeply rooted. No matter how capable a wife is, if she cannot bear a son, her status as a regular wife may not be guaranteed.

It is slightly better if the natal background is strong, but the face can be saved, but the actual treatment will still be much worse, and there is a high probability that she will lose her husband's favor.

The news that Yue Ba brought back was about Mo Qiwei's body. She hurt her body when she gave birth to her second daughter, and her stomach hasn't moved for several years.

A few years later, she passed the best age for women to give birth.

It is estimated that this concubine is quite a threat to her.

Combining this information, let's think back to the situation of the pregnant woman tonight. Her body was abnormally weak, which affected the fetus.

It seems that there are signs of poisoning, but with just a ray of air, I can't diagnose and treat her. At present, my strength is not that strong.

There are a lot of messy things going on in the inner courtyard of the deep house. This little concubine has no background, and what awaits her are nothing more than two results, one dead body and two lives, and leaving the mother and keeping the child.

If it's the former, it means that there is nothing wrong with Mo Qiwei's body, and she can give birth after a while.

If it was the latter, it meant that her health was indeed failing, and it was better to leave a son born to another woman than to have no son.

But what if this woman is not dead?

Mo Qiwei must have a headache.

I seem to have found the direction of 'working hard'.

This night I practiced as usual, and the magical cave exercises were of great help to my abilities.

The skill that Liu Yanyan passed on to me has the effect of stacking BUFF, and the martial arts formula she gave me is similar to the "Star Sucking Dafa".

There is no need for any moves, the focus is on how to absorb other people's skills.

But this martial art has a flaw, it can only absorb other people's skills, but it doesn't know how to transform and integrate.

That is to say, it is very useful when hurting people, and can turn the opponent into a useless person without martial arts, and the indigestion on his side cannot be solved.

In fact, I can turn Liu Yanyan's skill into energy and use it to improve my abilities, and other people's skills should be fine too.

To prove this, I need someone to cooperate with me in the experiment.

Before the technology matures, I don't want others to know about the 'Star Attraction Dafa'.

There is only one person beside me who is quiet and has internal strength.

I walked to the bedside and stared at the sleeping Yun Zhou. His internal energy sometimes comes and goes, but I observed with my supernatural power that he only does this when he is awake, and he has internal energy to protect his body when he is sleeping.

What would happen if I sucked away the inner strength of his body?

Yun Zhou suddenly turned over, and something fell out of his arms. When I saw what it was, the anger in my heart immediately rose three feet high.

"Get up, get up!" I grabbed his collar and pulled him up.

He fell into a drowsy sleep, didn't know what happened, looked at me with sleepy eyes, and said vaguely: "Did you eat?"

"I think you want to eat P." I smashed the braised pig's trotters that fell out of his arms to his eyes, "Did I say that you are not allowed to sleep with pig's trotters at night?"
