Lu Zhaozhao and Zhao Ziyun naturally thought of this.

But they thought about it and checked the places that could be checked first. As for the places that couldn't be checked easily, they would wait until it was too late to find a solution!

"I and Brother Five Emperors will take advantage of the night to explore the situation in Zhuangzi. Tomorrow morning you and Sister Five Emperors can continue to act according to your agreement!" Dugu Fan said.

"I'll go with you, I know the location of the study!" Lu Zhaozhao volunteered.

The study is a place that must be checked, and it is also the most difficult place to sneak in. They can take advantage of the night to investigate first. After all, with the prince's skills, it should not be a problem to avoid the sight of the guards in the night!

"Okay! You go with me!" Dugufan thought for a moment and then relaxed. Then, his eyes fell on his fifth emperor brother: "Fifth emperor brother! Then don't go. There are many people and the target is huge. , easily exposed!”

"..." Dugu Wei.

Does this mean he was abandoned?

"Let's go!" Lu Zhaozhao automatically interpreted his silence as tacit approval.

"Okay!" Dugufan responded, and at the same time he led her closer to the window, and gently pushed the window open a gap. After making sure that no one was paying attention, he took her out of the window.

Since there is no moonlight tonight, everything is pitch black.

In this way, you can better avoid the sight of the guards.

"The study is on the right, about fifty meters away from here!" Lu Zhaozhao said in a voice that only two people could hear.

Hearing this, Dugu Fan put one hand around her slender waist and flew to the right.

"Huh? Did a black shadow flash past just now?" A doubtful voice suddenly sounded in the night.

"No! Are you dazzled?" Another voice came from not far away.

"Maybe... I'm so sleepy that my eyesight is dazzled!" An uncertain voice sounded in the night.

"You must be dazzled because you haven't rested during the day!" The other party said firmly: "I have been on duty in this Zhuangzi for three years, and I have never met anyone who is not discerning and dares to break into the Zhuangzi!"

"That's right. This village is always heavily guarded. Who dares to break in without fear of death?"

"Even if they dare to rush in without fear of death, there will be no return!"

……

Lu Zhaozhao and Dugufan, who were hiding in the night, found the location of the study during their conversation as if no one was watching.

He gently pulled the window down without opening it.

"I'm afraid it was plugged in from the inside!" Lu Zhaozhao whispered.

Dugu Fan was not surprised by this result. He took out a very thin dagger from his sleeve, inserted it into the crack of the window, and lifted it up gently.

With a slight sound, Dugu Fan withdrew his dagger and gently pulled down the window, which opened in response.

He immediately took her without pausing, climbed into the window, and closed the window smoothly.

It was dark in the study, but they couldn't light the fire to avoid attracting the attention of the guards outside.

Fortunately, when they arrived, their eyes had gradually adapted to the darkness, and now they were able to grope their way forward in the even darker study room.

"I remember the layout of the study room. There was a bookcase about three meters in front of the door. Behind the bookcase was a row of bookshelves. Apart from a few books, there were some antiques and other ornaments on the bookshelves..." Lu Zhaozhao tried hard to recall what he saw when he brought tea into the study during the day: "...As for other places, I didn't dare to look carefully, for fear of arousing unnecessary suspicion!"

"Then let's start with the bookcase and bookshelf!" Dugufan whispered, leading her to the bookshelf: "I'll leave the bookshelf to you. Be careful when flipping it, don't break things!" "Okay!" Lu Zhaozhao agreed, picked up a vase nearby, and after making sure it was not a trap, he carefully put it back.

then……

Pick up each antique one by one to determine whether it is the mechanism of the secret door!

however……

She tried her best and went through all the antiques before she had to admit that there was no so-called mechanism hidden on this bookshelf!

"I didn't find anything here, did you find anything there?" Lu Zhaozhao asked in a low voice.

"No!" Dugufan went through all the things on the desk, even the things in the drawer, but they were all normal accounting documents and the like.

"Is there no secret door in this study?" Lu Zhaozhao was confused.

She remembered hearing someone say before that most people who design secret doors would choose the location in the study room, because the study room is an important place in a house and cannot be entered by ordinary people, so the safety factor is the highest!

"Look elsewhere!" Dugufan said.

Lu Zhaozhao nodded and followed him to continue exploring in the study.

There were several paintings hanging on the walls of the study. Lu Zhaozhao lifted the paintings one by one, patted the wall behind them, and found that they were not hollow.

In other words, there is no mechanism or secret door behind this painting.

Two quarters of an hour later...

After groping to no avail, Lu Zhaozhao had to admit that there was indeed nothing suspicious in King Chu's study.

"There are many rooms in this village. If we check them one by one at this time, we might be discovered by the guards. Why don't we go back first? In the morning, Princess Wei and I will check the places we can check during the day to make sure there is nothing suspicious. After the divorce, we will focus on checking those rooms that Princess Wei and I cannot enter at night!" Lu Zhaozhao suggested.

after all……

There are so many houses in Zhuangzi, it is impossible for them to check them one by one without focusing on them!

Not only is there not enough time, but more importantly, I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will be discovered by the guards. The risk is too great!

"Okay! Let's go back first!" Dugu Fan naturally knew that what she said was not unreasonable.

The key area of ​​the study has already been checked, so there is no need to waste time checking other rooms one by one!

Let's wait until the morning, they will do the screening first and then talk!

Dugufan took Lu Zhaozhao and turned back the way he came.

Dugu Wei and Zhao Ziyun, who were waiting in the room, saw them coming back and immediately greeted them.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Dugu Wei asked impatiently.

"Nothing was found!" Lu Zhaozhao said.

"..." Dugu Wei.

Ok!

This is actually expected!

after all……

How could the King of Chu, who had been hiding for many years, be easily caught?

"Since there is a silver-melting place in Zhuangzi, it means that the King of Chu has a lot of silver that needs to be melted. He will definitely not put such a large sum of money in the Prince of Chu's palace openly. It must be hidden in the Zhuangzi. One place!" Lu Zhaozhao was determined, and then changed the subject: "Tomorrow I will investigate the village with Princess Wei, I don't believe we can't find this money!"

"That's right! I still don't believe it, but he can still hide the money in the sky!" Dugu Wei agreed.
