Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 34 Cheating the Girl

"Oh? Key? It seems that the Langhuan Jade Cave is a place with many mechanisms, and a secret key is needed to open it. But Li Qingluo's martial arts is not very good. If there is no mechanism protection, wouldn't this Langhuan Jade Cave be a private place? Can you just take a trip?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Mu watched closely the maid who walked out of the small building.

It was getting dark now, and Zhao Mu was wearing black clothes. He easily avoided the servants in Mantuo Villa. He followed the maid to a very elegant small building.

This embroidered building, carved beams and painted buildings has a Jiangnan garden flavor.

Seeing this beautiful attic, Zhao Mu couldn't help but recall his days in the Prince's Mansion.

Back then, his father built such a small building specifically to support his mother.

Although Zhao Mu was the bastard born to concubine Ji, because his mother was the youngest and most favored, Zhao Mu and his mother also lived in such a beautiful small building.

But when he was thirteen years old, the old prince, who was over seventy years old, finally left his young son and his young daughter-in-law, who was less than thirty, and passed away.

Without the shadow of their old father, the good days of mother and son have come to an end. After three years of being looked down upon by their mistress, several aunts, and brothers and sisters, and after serving the old prince, the mother and son moved out of the capital to the remote fiefdom of Daizhou.

Later, Zhao Mu traveled outside Yanmen Pass, encountered Xiao Yuanshan's masterpiece, studied chess skills behind closed doors with his mother for several months, and then went to Henan Leigu Mountain to crack the Zhenlong chess game.

Recalling the nourishing years in Bianjing Palace, Zhao Mu couldn't help but lament that things have changed and people have changed.

Even though he was just a concubine back then, he was favored by his mother and under the influence of his father, he had "endless delicacies to eat and endless money to spend." "Enjoy endless wealth and endless years."

It's a pity that those good days will never come back.

Zhao Mu ducked and followed the little girl through the door.

Because it is the lady's boudoir, except for Xiao Ming and a few personal maids who grew up with the lady, no one else can get close to it. Therefore, Zhao Mu slipped in very easily.

As soon as he entered Wang Yuyan's boudoir, Zhao Mu smelled a refreshing fragrance.

"Ha! Li Qingluo dotes on his daughter. Wang Yuyan is quite classy, ​​and she still uses the most precious ambergris."

Zhao Mu tiptoed around and saw that in the eldest lady's boudoir, there were all sorts of musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and paintings, and everything was of great value. Wang Yuyan's clothes were still hanging on the hangers, and there was a pair of delicate pink embroidered shoes next to the embroidery bed.

But Zhao Mu was not interested in any of this. He just stared at the maid's every move.

Xiao Ming did not rush to find the key, but helped the lady tidy up the room as usual.

After Zhao Mu hid in the dark for a while, the maid slowly picked up a box from Wang Yuyan's dressing table.

Zhao Mu hid behind a bonsai.

When Zhao Mu looked up to see if it contained the key to the Langhuan Jade Cave, he accidentally stepped on a dead leaf that had fallen from the bonsai.

"Creak", the clear sound of dry leaves, is recalled in the quiet and empty room.

The maid was also alert, and immediately turned back to look in the direction of the sound. Although Zhao Mu was hiding, there was a wooden grid wall there.

The maid still saw Zhao Mu's figure.

The girl was stunned for a moment and was about to scream when Zhao Mu quickly used Lingbo Weibu. An afterimage passed by and came to the little girl's side.

Zhao Mu then grabbed her waist with one hand and covered her mouth with the other. The little girl stared at Zhao Mu in front of her with her big eyes.

After Zhao Mu listened to the sounds around him, he threatened: "I don't want to hurt you. As long as you promise not to scream, I will let you go immediately."

Facing the tall Zhao Mu, Xiao Ming was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhao Mu hated seeing a woman cry. He said: "Nod if you agree, but if you dare to shout, I will strangle your neck immediately! Just blink when you understand."

Xiao Ming hurriedly blinked, but as she blinked, tears fell from her cheeks. Two drops of hot tears fell on Zhao Mu's hand.

Zhao Mu let go of his hand at this time, and the little girl did not scream.

But she didn't dare to scream. Firstly, she was afraid that Zhao Mu would harm her, and secondly, she knew Li Qingluo's character.

Li Qingluo is currently angry because of Wang Yuyan's escape and Duan Yu's and A'zhu Abi's escape. If she knew that Mantuo Villa was broken into by an outsider and that this person entered the lady's boudoir, then even if Xiao Ming was not executed, one of her hands would inevitably be made into flower fertilizer.

Xiao Ming saw that the man in front of her was simply dressed, but he had an upright posture and a noble look on his face. And there is nothing rude to myself. It's not like a thief who comes to steal money or jade or fragrance.

Moreover, Mantuo Villa is located on Taihu Lake and is surrounded by water. Ordinary people can't get up here, and those who sneak here are not simply here to steal property. Therefore, the little girl wants to ask the other party why he is here. If he can be sent away, that would be the best. If you can't, it's not too late to call someone to come.

She quickly wiped the tears on her face, and Zhao Mu also wiped his hands on his clothes.

Zhao Mu whispered: "You are smart."

Xiao Ming calmed down and whispered: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Zhao Mu did not hide his purpose. He said: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. As long as the girl gives me the key and tells me the location of Langhuan Jade Cave, I will leave immediately."

Xiao Ming subconsciously looked at the brocade box in her hand and said, "The lady took the secret key away. There is no secret key here."

When Zhao Mu saw her evading eyes and looking very guilty, he knew that the brocade box in her hand might contain the secret key.

But Zhao Mu didn't use force.

Although he is not a good person, he is not shameless enough to bully a fourteen or fifteen year old girl.

So Zhao Mu planned to cheat.

Zhao Mu then said nonsensically: "To be honest, girl, I am your cousin, Young Master Murong's new retainer. Because of my outstanding qinggonggong, I was sent by the Young Master to go to Langhuan Jade Cave to get some martial arts secrets. Girl. Being able to enter my cousin's boudoir, I think I am her personal attendant."

"My cousin has always liked my young master. If she marries my young master in the future, the girl will also be a dowry. From now on, we will all be on our own, so please ask the girl for convenience."

"Oh, by the way! A'Zhu Abi and Brother Duan were also sent by the young master to collect books from my cousin. I was supposed to be there to meet them outside, but I didn't know that their purpose was discovered by the madam and they were almost made into a flower. If Brother Duan hadn't The Huigong Dafa defeated that Yan mother, and I'm afraid A'Zhu Abi and the others will be stabbed. Now that their action has failed, I have no choice but to come here in person."

Although this method is a bit despicable, it is still something that can't be helped.

After all, Zhao Mu couldn't help but look at such a lovely and handsome girl in front of him.
