The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 863 No name.
Holding the things in his hands, he quickly walked out of the study with the lantern in hand, and plunged into the darkness.

Lu Chen, who was staying on the roof, didn't pay attention to Zhi Lian. He looked at Qu Huaiyun who was resting with his eyes closed, with a look of contempt on his mouth.

Holding the lantern, Zhi Lian walked slowly towards a remote courtyard.

This yard is a forbidden area of ​​the mansion, no one has visited it for so many years, and the weeds in the yard are almost as tall as a person.

In this dark and silent night, Zhi Lian carried a lantern and stepped into this deserted courtyard.

Under the moonlight, the overlapping shadows of the trees make people feel creepy.

In the middle of the night, someone was wandering in this deserted courtyard with a lantern, which made people feel very strange.

This yard has a story, but that's not the point.Zhi Lian came to this courtyard tonight not to enjoy the scenery, let alone to experience the mysterious atmosphere, he naturally has a purpose.

"Ming Yan, it's about time!" Gu Chengyu heard the sound of a watch call coming from afar, and felt that the time was almost up.

"Yes!" At this time, Ming Yan had already changed into a black robe, and he turned around without hesitation.

When he came outside the courtyard, he jumped up, jumped onto the treetops, and then ran to the distance.

Lu Chen thought he had thrown off Ming Mo, and was waiting for Qu Huaiyun to check the treasure map.But Qu Huaiyun didn't move for a long time, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.

Ming Mo won't be there for long, and I'm afraid he will come back to find him soon.

This Qu Huaiyun still sat still, even picked up a pen, and began to write vigorously on the paper.

Zhi Lian walked through the grass at half a person's height, and came to the dilapidated main house.

Raising the lantern a little higher, Zhi Lian could clearly see a rusty brass lock hanging on the door in front of her.

Zhi Lian sneered, and took out a key from his sleeve.This key was just obtained by him from Qu Huaiyun, and there is not much time left for him.

The chain of this lock was rusty on the outside, but Zhi Lian easily opened the copper lock with the key.

There was no damp, moldy smell or dust in the room, and Shirley didn't waste any more time after entering.

He came to the moonlit place and looked at the few floor tiles.

He secretly followed Qu Huaiyun to this place because of curiosity, but he didn't dare to approach.

He wasn't sure which brick could be loosened, so he squatted down and knocked those bricks.

"My lord, everything has been deployed!"

"Well! Let's start!"

The corner of Liao Cheng's mouth twitched into a sneer, the people sent by the master are all good hands, and tonight the Qu Mansion will present the treasure map with both hands.

When Yi Lanshan sent the other half of the treasure map, he would have the whole treasure map in his hands.

Qu Huaiyun thought that Xia Qing could be on the list because of him, but he didn't know that in the eyes of that person, Xia Qing was just a dog slave who worked for the court.

The treasure map this time is his certificate of honor. For such a great achievement, the master will definitely reward him a lot.

Liao Cheng seemed to have seen himself getting promoted and making a fortune with boundless glory.

He couldn't help laughing out loud, tonight is a good time for him to make his way to the top.

"Let's go! Let's go to meet the patriarch of the song." Liao Cheng flicked his sleeves and left the study in a very happy mood.

A series of black shadows entered the Qu Mansion silently, and disappeared without a trace as soon as they landed.

Lu Chen was on his way back, and Qu Huaiyun hadn't moved yet, so he probably wouldn't be able to find anything tonight.

Lu Chen was hanging his head down, but there was a gust of wind blowing behind him.

He quickly turned around and slapped each other, and there was a man in black in front of him.Lu Chen was taken aback, what's going on?

What about his people?He was ambushed by someone outside the Qu Mansion, so where did these people come from?

The two palms struck each other, and the opponent lost, and took two steps back.

Seeing that this man was not Lu Chen's opponent, he turned around and ran away. Lu Chen quickly chased after him.

"Dong Dong!" The sound from the floor tiles in front of him was different from the other ones, and Zhi Lian felt relieved immediately.

He used the previous key to pry open the floor tiles, and a mahogany wooden box appeared inside.

Seeing the lock on the wooden box, Zhi Lian thought for a while, went outside the courtyard and found a big stone.

He couldn't be sure it was a treasure map here, so he wanted to break it open and have a look.

It didn't take much effort to break the small lock, Zhi Lian ruthlessly smashed it on the small copper lock.

With a bang, the lock fell off.

When he opened the box, he saw the sheepskin and the burnt hole on it.

Yes, this is it!Zhi Lian was overjoyed, she put the treasure map in her arms, and quickly left the yard without looking back.

His time is running out, and it won't be long before Qu Huaiyun finds out that the key is missing.

Panting heavily, Zhi Lian ran all the way, and the place he ran to was the East Wing, where Gu Chengyu temporarily stayed.

He was very scared now, he didn't want to wait at the agreed place, it was too dangerous, and he could only feel at ease when he ran to the place where Master Gu was.

Ming Yanda stopped at the agreed place with Zhi Lian when he was attacked by a man in black who was approaching him.

Ming Yan was startled, what is going on?Could it be that this person is Lu Chen, and in order to get the treasure map, Lu Chen killed himself?

This person's moves were fierce, and after two moves against Ming Yan, he pulled out a nine-section whip from his waist and threw it at him.

In Hejianfu in October, the coolness at night can penetrate to the bone marrow of a person.Zhi Lian was wearing thin clothes, but at this moment, beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead.

"Zhi Lian!"

Suddenly, a shout came from behind.

Zhi Lian was so frightened that his legs gave way and he was about to fall to the ground.But he immediately suppressed the fear in his heart and ran faster than before.

"Zhi Lian, are you still standing still? You have to think about it, who is this?"

Zhi Lian suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, he stopped running and turned around to have a look.

The one who called him was Guanshi Qiu, the steward of the outer court, and the person next to him was not his mother, so who was that?

But what made him tear up was that there was still a sword on his mother's neck at this time.

"Mother!" Zhi Lian's tears could no longer stop flowing down, he gasped for breath.

"Zhi Lian, the master treats you well! If it weren't for the master, where would you live in a rich life? Your mother's disease is a disease of wealth, isn't it all dependent on the master to support you?"

Guanshi Qiu snorted coldly, there was a little pity for Zhi Lian in his eyes, but more indifference.

Hearing this, Zhi Lian couldn't stop shaking.

He hates it!But he couldn't open his mouth, he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but vent the grief and anger in his heart.

He lied to his mother before that the master appreciated him and wanted him to study and work for the master in the future.

His mother believed it, and he never dared to tell the truth.

"Guan Qiu! Please, let us go!" Zhi Lian cast her begging eyes on Guan Shi Qiu, but he was lucky that the master didn't come.

Qiu Guanshi shook his head, "Zhi Lian, you should know why I am here. The master still has some affection for you, you did such a wrong thing this time, the master just asked me to take you back Don't worry, your mother's sick master will not let her go."
