Rudonghai

Chapter 214 Night Attack
Gu Yunxiao was too lazy to argue with her, and cut straight to the point: "There is an accident in the Hou's mansion, I am here to save sister Rou's life."

"What happened? What could happen?" Ji Qingrou was startled, her face was not obvious, and she said calmly: "I didn't know that the third sister was so kind, and she sneaked into the Hou's mansion at the risk of danger. Is it to save my life? Even if it is saved, I will not be grateful to you."

"I don't need your gratitude. It's just a matter of raising my hand anyway. It's up to you whether sister Rou wants to save her life. If you don't think it's interesting after listening to it, then pretend that I haven't been here. Look at me For the sake of my kindness, Sister Rou, don’t yell and call everyone here, just make me ashamed.” The dignified Mrs. Taifu sneaked into the residence of An Guohou in the middle of the night, and after being known, she will not have to see anyone in the future up.

Ji Qingrou sneered: "Third sister, then tell me, I'll listen all the time. But in the current situation, my sister can't do it even if she doesn't listen."

The dagger is still on her neck, can she refuse?

"No way, I have to do it as a last resort, lest my sister make a decision on her own without listening to it, and that will be worrying." Gu Yunxiao smiled slightly, and did not let Qiuhong put down the dagger, and said slowly: "You should know that An Guohou Master He Ji has been very busy recently, and no one has come here to see Sister Rou for a long time, even Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Hou have not sent anyone to come over to take a look, why don't you ask?"

"Why, they have disliked me for a long time, and now they have lost the face of the Marquis Mansion, and there is no one like me in the mansion. Besides, the nobleman is busy, so he doesn't remember me for a long time. Send someone over to take a look? Except for copying the female trainer, I can't even take a step out of the door. There are at least two women guarding outside in the morning and evening, and I can't go far. They are very relieved." Ji Qingrou sneered. But he wondered in his heart that Mrs. Hou didn't want to see her anymore, she would always send a maid to bring some food over occasionally, so as not to feel wronged.

Even if An Guohou couldn't come over, the servants around him would give him some outside things every now and then to relieve his boredom.

But these days, they have indeed disappeared, as if no one has ever been here, and the yard has become quiet.

Because of this, the women outside saw the wind and felt that they had fallen out of favor, and their service was not as meticulous as before, and their attitude was not as respectful as before.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingrou vaguely believed Gu Yunxiao's words that something happened to the Marquis of An Guo.

"You may not know that Mrs. Hou is unconscious, and Mrs. Gu is also imprisoned by Lord Ji, and I don't know where she is being held. Marquis An Guo hasn't shown up for a long time, and now Lord Ji is in charge of the Hou Mansion." Gu Yunxiao was vague, no Straightforwardly stated that the An Guohou's mansion wanted to rebel and force the palace.

When Ji Qingrou heard it, she almost jumped up in shock: "What do you mean, that my cousin wants to monopolize the Marquis Mansion by fighting against his grandparents? This is impossible, even if he doesn't move, after a few years, the Marquis Mansion of An Guo will be his. , why bother?"

"Sister Rou also said that it will take a few more years. Master Ji doesn't seem to want to wait any longer. After all, Master Hou's body is still strong, but Madam Hou is much younger than Master Hou. In the future, even if Master Hou is gone, Madam Hou will still be in charge. Master Ji can’t decide for himself.” Gu Yunxiao finished speaking, motioning Qiuhong to put down the dagger.

Ji Qingrou didn't notice it either, she was shocked and murmured: "Impossible, you are lying to me, my cousin would not do such a thing! He treats his mother very well, how could he be willing to imprison her? "

"It's because Mrs. Ji is still nostalgic for the past that Mrs. Gu can be well. It's just grounded. It's not painful, isn't it?"

Every time Gu Yunxiao said something, combined with the fact that no one came to ask about the yard recently, Ji Qingrou had to believe it.

"So, what do you want to do?" She didn't believe that Gu Yunxiao ran over at night just to tell herself the truth, where there is such a kind heart, there must be something to ask for!
"It's very simple. After all, Mrs. Gu is my mother, the mistress of the Gu family, and my father is seriously ill now, and I want to see her. As a daughter, I can't let my father down, so I took the risk to sneak in. I just want to ask Ask Sister Rou, is there any place in the Hou Mansion where people can hide, and it is still hidden away, few people pass by, and they will never be discovered." Gu Yun made a few nonsense, as long as it can scare Ji Qing Soft is enough.

Hearing this, Ji Qingrou really thought about it carefully, and said two places: "This is the place where my grandfather collects antiques on weekdays. No one is allowed to step in at random. There is only a dumb servant serving him. The other is the place where the mansion works. Dark room, this house used to be the mansion of a Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He dug a dungeon under the ground to release death row prisoners so that no one else could rescue them. I also overheard my cousin mentioning that the entrance is on the rockery in the corner of the garden. back."

After she finished speaking, she said in a hurry: "Sister San is going to rescue mother and send her to the Gu Mansion? Can you take me along with you? I also want to see how grandma is doing."

Gu Yunxiao shook his head with a heavy face: "It's very chaotic outside, and people are panicking. Fortunately, the news in this small courtyard is closed, and no one knows, so the servants dare not do anything to Sister Rou. Not to mention that Sister Rou can't go out at will now, the two people outside A mother-in-law is not so easy to fool. After going out, I am afraid that my sister will be arrested before seeing Madam Hou. Master Ji is not in the mansion, and the girl from the Bohou family has also gone out. It's my sister."

Hearing that the second girl of the Gu family was in charge, Ji Qingrou immediately hesitated.She knew very well that it was Gu Yunyan who, taking advantage of Ji Keran's absence, was likely to kill her.

Touching her cheek, Gu Yunyan might really scratch her face. Just thinking about it, Ji Qingrou became timid: "Then I won't go out for the time being, and I will leave everything to my third sister."

She also reminded Gu Yunxiao of the time when the guards in the mansion were changing, Gu Yunxiao thanked her and went out the same way again.

The woman outside the door was drunk, so she didn't ask any more questions, she just thought that Ji Qingrou was torturing them again, holding the wine glass and waving her hands to let Gu Yunxiao and Qiu Hong go out.

After walking far away, Xiao Yi appeared, Qiu Hong repeated what Ji Qingrou said just now, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect Madam to fool Miss Ji with a few words, I wish I could take all of An Guohou's house. Tell Mrs. everything."

It's so easy to deceive, no wonder Gu Yunxiao put his mind on Ji Qingrou, he is indeed familiar enough with the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, and knows the secrets, so it's easy to deceive.

Gu Yunxiao shook his head: "Miss Ji is concerned, and she will be confused. I'm afraid she will find something inappropriate when she regains her senses. Moreover, she has lived in the Buddhist hall for a long time and has not heard the news from outside. It does not mean that the women do not know. If you ask a few more questions, you will naturally know that my sister is no longer in the Hou Mansion, and you will understand that I lied to her."

"It's not too late, we'll start right away."

Qiu Hong asked: "Ma'am, are the two places divided into two groups?"

"No, Master Ji has always been cautious. Although An Guohou's Treasure Pavilion is remote, it must be closely patrolled and protected by a guard. There are too many people who see it, and there are too many people to talk about. It is very likely that the whereabouts of my aunt will be leaked. Who knows if there will be any?" Whose eyeliner will there be? Only the secret prison in this mansion is unknown to ordinary people, and it is a good place to hide people."

Even Ji Qingrou knew about it by accident, let alone other people.It is likely that no one will know except An Guohou and Ji Keran.

Xiao Yi also agreed, first went to explore the road, and soon came back to report: "Madam, the rockery is indeed the entrance, and no one passed by nearby."

The guards are all outside the mansion and the main courtyard of Marquis An Guo, so how can there be people in a place like the backyard?

Ji Keran is quite clever in this point. When hiding people in the mansion, most people would first go to find the heavily guarded courtyard, which is undoubtedly a catch in the urn. Since they failed to save people, they might also put themselves in it. It really kills two birds with one stone.

If Gu Yunxiao hadn't gone to find Ji Qingrou first, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known about such a secret underground prison, and he would have started to inquire quietly from the place with the most guards. With so few people here, no one would be able to escape.

It was only then that Gu Yunxiao was a little scared. Fortunately, he started to prepare and figured it out first, so Xiao Jiawei didn't let Xiao Jiawei follow her into danger.

Xiao Yi is at the front, Xiao Er is behind, and there are two other people hiding in the big tree outside the rockery as a warning.

Qiu Hong supported Gu Yunxiao. It was pitch black everywhere, and they dared not light up the lamps, lest the guards inside be alarmed by the light and move forward cautiously.

The prison is not big, and there is a smell of decay, mixed with the breath of death.

Although this prison has been closed for a long time, an unknown number of prisoners have died here, and there seems to be a strong smell of blood and rotting corpses left at the tip of their noses.

Gu Yunxiao covered his mouth and nose, barely suppressed the discomfort, and walked slowly behind Xiao Yi.After her eyes got used to the shadow, she finally got a rough idea of ​​the prison.

There are about five or six cells here, separated on both sides. There is a table in the front, and there are two men in black sitting there, probably guards.

There was a wine jar on the desk table. It seemed that the two of them were not very vigilant, or they felt that no one would find such a secret place, so it was easy.

One of them drank a lot, a little drunk, and complained: "This errand actually fell on me. The other brothers followed the master to eat and drink, and we just guarded in this ghost place. It stinks, and even a ghost No. The master is also suspicious, how could anyone know about this place, let alone come in."

The other people stayed awake, but their eyes were a little blurred, and they obviously drank two more glasses: "Okay, the master asked you to guard here, so I trust you. When the matter is over, you will be a great hero. Eat well and drink spicy food Miss you?"

The two clinked glasses again, one of them was finally overwhelmed and lay down on the table, the other put down the wine glass, heard the sound of "bang bang" from the cell inside, and shouted impatiently: "Madam, you should save your energy." , don’t make it difficult for the little one. The master said that his wife is the guest of honor, and our brothers are also following orders. Madam Ansheng stays here and can go out in two days.”

If it wasn't for the master's repeated instructions that people must live and be well, he wouldn't be impatient to guard such a ghostly place.
