Chapter 974 Exposure
Western suburbs.

At night, Hong'er leaned down and looked at the brightly lit lobby under the eaves. The girls finished dancing and were walking back to their rooms to fall asleep.

The evening wind blows, and there is always a trace of tranquility in the night.

At this moment, the sound of palms slapping came from time to time.

Du Li stretched out his hand again to slap a mosquito to death: "Hong'er, you said this person is resting, why is the mosquito still not asleep?"

Hong'er glared at him fiercely, Du Li immediately shut up.

Only then did Hong'er speak, with a half-smile: "I heard that most of the blood-suckers are female mosquitoes. The so-called opposite sex attracts, of course this mosquito sucked your blood."

"Ah?" As soon as the startled sound uttered a syllable, Hong'er quickly covered it with his eyes and hands, and Du Li opened his eyes wide.

"Shut up!" Hong'er opened her mouth silently.

Du Li blinked, indicating that he understood.

Slightly hot breath hits the fingers from time to time, and the soft lips are gently pressed against the palm of the hand. The moonlight inadvertently passes over the willow branches, and the shadow covered just happens to cover Du Li's eyebrows and eyes. Perhaps the atmosphere at this time is too strong. Harmony, for some reason, Hong'er's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

She hastily withdrew her hand, her eyes fixed on the eaves below.

The girls had already closed the door, and looking from Du Li's direction, they could only see one door.

He stared at it for a while, but he didn't see any tricks.

Seeing Hong'er looking at the place without blinking, Du Li moved his body and got closer: "Hong'er, can you see what's going on inside?"

"What?" Hong'er didn't react for a while, and gave him a blank look.

Du Li pointed to the opposite door, his eyes were a little puzzled: "That's it, everyone has gone in, can you see anything?"

Hong'er looked in the direction he pointed, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

She accidentally lost her mind just now, since everyone here has fallen asleep, she will naturally not stay here anymore, but go to do what she has to do.

"You're the one who talks a lot." Hong'er gave him a thankful glance, then turned around and walked towards the kitchen eaves.

Du Li scratched his head, he didn't understand why the person who was fine just now turned to him coldly.

Sure enough, as Steward Liu said, women are fickle!

The kitchen was in the northwest, and there were many guards in this house, so Hong'er had to go around twice to find the kitchen.

Liu Han said, let her not be attached to people, but also to look at other places in the house.

The first place she chose to go was the kitchen. First, there were few guards, and second, she always felt a little strange.

This is the place where Taohua specially prepares soup for the girls, Hong'er happened to come over to check what's wrong here while everyone was asleep.

At any rate, she also learned how to prepare potions. Although she is not as subtle as her senior brother, she can still make some shots. Yi Rongdan is her forte.

Hong'er carefully removed the tiles, looked in, the room was pitch black, and there was no one in sight.

That's right, everyone is asleep, so how can there be people in the kitchen.

After she figured it out, Hong'er jumped down, and Du Li also followed after seeing this.

It was dark everywhere, and I couldn't see my fingers.

"Don't you know how to look at the road?" Hong'er bumped into a hard chest as soon as she turned around, which made her forehead hurt, and she was so angry that she stomped on Du Li's foot.

"Ouch." Du Li just yelled, but Hong'er covered his mouth violently, "Don't make any noise."

"I……"

Du Li opened his mouth, and his lips twitched in her palm, feeling a little itchy.

"Shut up! Don't talk!" Hong'er scolded in a low voice, didn't he know that this was with the enemy?Dare to speak loudly.

Du Li pulled her hand away: "It's not...I..."

Seeing him, Hong'er opened her mouth again, and quickly covered his mouth again.

In the next second, the world spun and Hong'er was crushed to the ground by Du Li.

With a crackling sound, Du Li strenuously supported his body, covering Hong'er within his protection range.

"That's what I want to tell you. I seem to have bumped into something." Du Li took a breath, and said to the bewildered Hong'er.

Through the occasional refracted moonlight outside the window, Hong'er could now clearly see the vegetable frame that he had knocked down all over the floor. At this moment, there was still a vegetable leaf hanging on his head, which made people both annoyed and funny.

Hong'er coughed lightly, and pushed his wrist: "Okay, get up first."

Du Li let go of one wrist, let Hong'er stand up, and then stood up himself.

He patted the scattered vegetable leaves on his body, and still muttered: "What did you do?"

"You should be thankful that this is the kitchen, otherwise such a big commotion would have brought the guards here." Hong'er raised her eyebrows, and picked up the vegetables from the ground and put them into the basket.

Before Hong'er came here, she had observed carefully from the eaves, perhaps because this was the kitchen, she didn't send anyone to look after it.

She took out a fire folder from her bosom and threw it into Du Li's bosom: "Light it on."

Seeing that she didn't reprimand him, Du Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lighting the torch and walking to her side, there was a gleam of light, Hong'er quickly walked to the place where the bowls and chopsticks were stored, and began to check the surrounding environment.

She didn't believe that Taohua would be so kind. To replenish the girls' physical strength, they specially prepared these soups. It must be of some use.

Now, she was looking for such evidence.

She looked around and saw a small smear of fine powder in front of the cabinet at a glance. She hurried forward and smelled a little with her hands.

"What is this?" Du Li asked.

"I don't know." Hong'er frowned. She was not good at this kind of medicine powder.

Du Li's ears moved: "Since there is nothing wrong, let's go to other places, it seems that someone is going in this direction."

Hong'er nodded, Du Li's ears were always sharp, since he said so, he must be right.

The two of them pointed their toes and quickly fled out of the kitchen.

"Where are we going next?" Du Li asked, he had just been sent to this house and knew little about the layout, so he had to ask Hong'er about what to do.

Hong'er thought for a while: "Go to the incense room, there must be something wrong there."

The girls were carried out from there. If it wasn't inconvenient that day, she would definitely go in and have a look. Tonight just took this opportunity to see what was inside.

There were only two guards outside the incense room. Compared to the daytime, there were far fewer people. Hong'er stooped and walked quietly to the eaves.

With a flick of his fingertips, two small stones hit the guard's sleeping hole, and with a plop, the guard fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Hong'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Du Li, "Stay on guard outside, and call me if anyone is there."

Du Li, a guy who is in the way, if he accidentally bumps into something when he goes in, it will be terrible.

The incense room is not like a kitchen. People come to patrol every quarter of an hour.

Du Li nodded, knowing that it would be a waste of help if he went, so he hid on the eaves to help Hong'er look out.

Hong'er covered the beam and climbed down, quietly landed behind the two guards, moved them to the beam, put on the posture of still guarding, and walked in ostentatiously.

The incense room was somewhat dim, Hong'er took out a fire pocket from her pocket and lit it, and an incense hall appeared in front of her.

There were dozens of futons on the ground, presumably for the girls to meditate.

There is a Buddha statue in front of the incense hall, and the surroundings of the Buddha statue are filled with incense. Even at this moment, the incense is still lit, and the curling incense burns slowly, turning into beauties in the air.

wrong!

Hong'er bit the tip of her tongue, ran out of the hall, only ran twice before her body suddenly went limp and fell down.

That's right, she remembered, the incense powder in the kitchen is an illusion, if mixed with the one-step incense lit in this room, it will make people lose consciousness, even if they die, they will not feel pain.

She opened her mouth, her lips twitching invisible.

Du Li has been watching her every move, just when he was about to turn over and save her, he saw her silently saying two words: go!

But how could he leave her alone?

"Catch him! There are still people up there!" Tao Hua followed Hong'er's line of sight and saw Du Li's figure at a glance.

Following an order, the guards who had been hiding here all moved towards Du Li's direction.

Du Li gritted his teeth, turned and left.

With so many people, it is impossible for him to beat them. If he is stubborn, let alone save Hong'er, even he will get involved, and then there will be nowhere to call for help.

He had to get rid of these people, and hurried back to the mansion to tell Liu Han about this matter, I believe he must have a way.

After making up his mind, Du Li stepped faster. The guards were already some distance away from him. After Du Li increased his speed, he could no longer catch up and had to come back in despair.

"Miss Peach Blossom, this subordinate is useless, let that person run away." The guard boss cupped his hands.

"This is a big trouble, but can you see who it is from?"

"The light is too dim, and the subordinates didn't see it."

Tao Hua frowned: "I have to report this matter to Madam. Now is the critical period, so don't mess yourself up."

"Yes!"

"Miss Peach Blossom, what should I do with this woman?" The guard boss glanced at Hong'er who was unconscious on the ground.

Taohua squatted down, and brushed away Hong'er's sleeve, revealing a little bright red cinnabar on it.

"Since there is Shougong Sha, let's keep it as medicine." After saying that, Taohua stood up and walked outside, she still wanted to report today's events.

Before reaching the gate of the house, Taohua met the little maid who came in a hurry.

"Sister Peach Blossom, Madam asked me to come over and tell my sister to speed up." The little maid was out of breath, looking at this inexplicably deserted house, she couldn't help shivering.

"Understood, thank you for making a trip." Tao Hua nodded, "I still have something to tell Madam."

The little maid wiped her sweat: "What's the matter? Do you need me to send a message?"

"No, I told Madam in person, since you're here, why don't you come and visit here." Tao Hua gave her a meaningful look.

The little servant girl looked up at the somewhat gloomy house, and subconsciously refused: "Thank you for your kindness, sister, I still ignore it... I haven't returned to my wife yet."

"Put it down, I will convey it to you."

Taohua smiled softly, turned her head and glanced at the guard: "Take good care of her."

"Sister Peach Blossom!"

The little maid suddenly felt something was wrong, and just about to turn around, someone covered her mouth and nose with a veil, and soon she fell down slowly.
