Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 822 Night exploration failed
It rained heavily that night.

It was as if a hole had been poked in the sky, and water was leaking.

Stratus clouds shrouded the sky, there were no stars or moon, and the sky and earth seemed dark and doomsday.

When Lin Yi came out of the East Palace that night, he was already soaked to the skin. He had nowhere to go and nowhere to want to go, so he just walked and stopped all the way, only on such a starless, moonless and heavy rainy night. Only then could he walk on the street openly like this. Even if one or two people came towards him on their way at night, they would all be wearing raincoats and bamboo hats or carrying oil-paper umbrellas and hurried on with their heads lowered. At most, they would glance back at this person. A "disheartened man" who looks lonely and depressed.

This made him feel that he was alive.

Just walking and walking like this, he actually arrived outside Ji's house. In such a heavy rain, the concierge was hiding inside under the eaves. There was no one around except him, who was dripping water from head to toe. But Lin Yi But he didn't dare to get even half a step closer to the Ji family - the Ji family at night was more dangerous than the Ji family in the daytime. Not long after Ji Wuyan first came to Yanjing, everyone was asking, who is Ji Wuyan? The Prince of Dong Palace and Pingyang County both sent people to find the answer. However, when the people went in, the answer was not found and was thrown out without explanation.

It's not life-threatening. It only takes a few hours to wake up on its own.

But everyone knew that it was just Ji Wuyan's mercy. After all, if they really wanted to take their lives, they would die countless times in the few hours they were asleep. Therefore, even Lin Yi did not dare to rush in to find out the truth.

That night, Lin Yi stood in the heavy rain outside Ji's house all night.

In the next few days, Lin Yi hid near Ji's house, trying to take the opportunity to find out what was going on. He soon discovered that even though there were no guards on the surface of Ji's house during the day, it was just wide open, but every time he came closer, several eyes would fall on him. The gaze was not sharp, it was more like a reminder - a private residence, no one could enter unless invited.

Ji Zhai during the day is no more accessible than Ji Zhai at night.

Without finding out whether it was Ji Wuyan who took the old woman away, he really didn't want to act rashly and alert the snake.

He thought about arresting a few servants of the Ji family to ask about the situation, but he knew that Ji Wuyan was a cautious person. Even if he really took the old woman away, these insignificant servants would probably not know everything, and it was just a waste of time. That’s all. He thought of Shen Luoxin, Ji Wuyan's close friend, and in a sense, the only one of his kind in the world, and the only human being whom he didn't hate so much.

However, he soon discovered that Shen Luoxin was also protected by experts, presumably the secret guards arranged by Ji Wuyan.

At this point, he no longer dared to underestimate Ji Wuyan, an ordinary merchant's daughter. How could he find so many masters? Where do we need so many experts? With such a group of people in his hands, even breaking into the palace at night is out of the question. What on earth is Ji Wuyan going to do with this group of people?
He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to go in alone, so he had to look around inside and outside Yanjing, mainly looking at some ruined temples, abandoned yards, and various dirty corners, but he couldn't find the old woman's face. Figure, he even went to the East Palace and Pingyang County Prince's Mansion, Gu Zuojie tried to make some inquiries, but the other party obviously had no idea.

There was nowhere, so only the Ji family was left. Rather than breaking in in broad daylight wearing a black cloak, Lin Yi finally decided to hide his identity. The second half of the night is when sleep is heaviest and when a person is most tired. The guards will be relatively lax, so he took a good look. I took that opportunity and broke in.

It was more convenient than expected. Those sightlines during the day were gone. Obviously, Ji Wuyan was very confident in her thick fog-like magic circle.

She did have the capital to be confident - she took only two steps as soon as she landed, but Lin Yi discovered the mystery in this.

Since he decided to visit Ji's house at night, he spent a few days to understand the general layout of the house - not far from Ji's house is the house of the little princess of the You family. The layout is roughly the same. That house is now It was uninhabited and only had some cleaning servants. It was not difficult to go in and walk around. Now he was confident that he could get a general direction in Ji's house even with his eyes closed. The thick fog was nothing to worry about. But somehow, as soon as I landed, I realized that what I had just looked at above the treetops was an abandoned garden. It was overgrown with weeds and had mottled walls. It was obviously uninhabited and unkempt. But after landing, the only sight was Guilty, but that’s not the case at all!

At that moment, Lin Yicai really felt a little panicked.

He knew that this thing of the Ji family was probably a formation, but at first he thought it was just to make some thick fog to scare people, but now he realized that it was not the same thing at all.

The art of formation is already profound and mysterious, and I know very little about it. At this moment, I don't even know whether the thing in front of me is hallucinogenic or something else, so I don't dare to fumble around with my eyes closed, just walking around cautiously. After walking inside for a while, he met several patrolling guards, but he cleverly avoided them all. Not long after, he arrived in front of the short tower.

He knew about the Ji family's library.

But why is it just a library, but the front is heavily guarded? When Lin Yizheng was confused, his mind suddenly froze, and he instantly faded away - in the thick fog, the line of sight was only an arm's length, when did it quietly fade away? Can you see so far and so clearly at this moment? ! He even saw the spike on the hilt of the guard's sword under the tower! He naturally knew that there could be no problem with Ji Wuyan's formation, and it could only be to... lure the enemy!
He tried his best to retreat quickly, but it was still too late - the sword light had risen behind him, pointing directly at his open back. In a hurry, Lin Yiyi had time to turn around. The man was extremely fast. He only had time to avoid the vital point before he heard the sound of the sharp blade piercing flesh and scraping against bones.

The sound reached his ears through the bones, limbs and bones. It was clear and harsh, like thunder exploding.

How long have you not heard such a sound?

Behind him, the man held a long sword and grinned, his two tiger teeth shining brightly in the moonlight. He said with a playful smile, "Dirty thing, let me catch you today!"

dirty stuff?
It's just a dog that works for others, does it deserve to scream here? When Lin Yi was angry, he was about to draw his sword to fight back, but he saw the light of his sword coming very close to him... A dog is not scary, but a group of dogs... is still a headache. Thirty-six strategies, let's go For the best!
