The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 718 Ask Mingji (1)
At this time, the twenty or so servants stood up.They quickly separated left and right, and stood in two rows, forming a passage in the middle.

Mr. Qiao led Zhou Boyan to walk through it and came to the reception hall.He invited Zhou Boyan to take a seat, then knelt down on one knee, and said, "Qiao Han has met you, welcome you." He and his servant greeted him silently in the courtyard, which was a means to protect Young Master Yan, himself and his subordinates.His servants are not ordinary servants.He is the emperor's spy hidden among the people, a person who secretly collects information for the emperor.Therefore, the people in the mansion are naturally the available people he recruited.However, although these people are available, he will still be on guard against them.That way, everyone is safe.

Zhou Boyan slightly raised his hand, "Master Qiao, please get up quickly. I came to disturb you suddenly. Master Qiao can invite me in without any grievances, and give me convenience. I am grateful. No matter how polite Master Qiao is, Go on, I won't be able to sit still."

Qiao Han hurriedly got up, and said, "Young master is someone I can't even invite on weekdays. You can leave without entering the door. A small quiet courtyard has been prepared at the back. You have been working hard all the way, so why don't you go to rest first?" meal?"

Zhou Boyan stood up, "Lunch is over, it's important to rest. Mr. Laoqiao is here."

Qiao Han wanted to get close to Young Master Yan a lot, but because he didn't know the true temperament of this Young Master, he didn't dare to do anything wrong.So, he gladly led the way and took Mr. Yan to resettle him.This courtyard was put back quickly after he got the letter temporarily, and it is also the best and largest courtyard in the mansion.He was always worried that Mr. Yan would be dissatisfied if he didn't like this courtyard.Seeing that Mr. Yan looked good at this moment, he felt relieved.

Qiao Han, despite his identity as a wealthy businessman, is actually a spy, so he naturally knows many taboos.Therefore, Mr. Yan didn't mention the purpose of coming here, and he didn't ask too much. He just wanted to serve Mr. Yan with all his heart, and he was very strict with the people below.Mr. Yan doesn't call anyone, he doesn't allow anyone to enter the courtyard where Mr. Yan lives, and he doesn't allow anyone to inquire about Mr. Yan.Although only he knew the identity of Mr. Yan, the people below only knew the title "Mr. Gongzi", and nothing else.But he is still careful and careful, very cautious.

No one knows his identity as a spy except the emperor and his contacts.The emperor was able to inform Mr. Yan of his identity, and asked Mr. Yan to come and live in his mansion with the "Emperor Order".It can be seen from this, how important is Young Master Yan in front of the emperor!Mr. Yan is trusted by the emperor!Apart from serving him wholeheartedly, he didn't dare to think about it.

Twenty-five, just after midnight, Zhou Boyan opened his eyes, pushed the quilt off his body, and got dressed in the dark.

Gu Shitou, who was sleeping in the side room, also got up.He opened the door and entered the room, came to the bed, and helped pass the clothes.

Zhou Boyan combed his black hair casually with his fingers, and then let it loose.He took the hat from Gu Shishi and put it on directly, and asked in a low voice, "Is Johan ready?"

Gu Shitou also answered in a low voice, "Ready, waiting under the eaves."

Zhou Boyan didn't speak, touched the sleeve arrows on the left and right sides, then took the fur cloak and put it on, tied the belt and went out.

In the darkness, under the eaves, Johan stood upright.Seeing Zhou Boyan coming out, he didn't speak, but just led the way.Every plant, every tree, every brick and every tile in this mansion is in his mind, even if there is no light in the dark night, he can still tell the direction, let alone trip over anything.Qiao Han walked in the front, followed by a brocade-clothed guard, then Zhou Boyan, followed by Hong Wei, Gu Shitou, and three other brocade-clothed guards.

They walked in a line in the dark night, and their steps were very light.After walking for a while, Johan stopped in front of a door and listened to the movement around him.There was no other sound except the faint sound of the wind.He took out the key, unlocked the door, and slowly opened the door.Then, he walked in and walked around for a while, then returned to the door and made a gesture of invitation.

Zhou Boyan stepped into the door, only Hong Wei and Gu Shitou followed.The four brocade-clothed guards stayed outside.

In the dark study room, Johan fiddled with something in the dark, then moved away and moved something again.The bookshelf in the room made a soft noise and moved away.Everyone's eyes have adapted to the darkness around them, and their night vision ability is good, so they all saw the dark and tall cave entrance appearing.

Johan walked over, walked into the cave first, silently counted the number of steps under his feet and walked down.When I counted to thirteen, the ground became flat under my feet, and the steps were completed.He casually touched the wall on the left, and there was something extra in his hand.When he swiped it, the light came on, and it turned out that it was a scythe.He lit the oil lamp hanging on the wall with a lighter, and walked out of the cave by stepping on the steps.He stood on the left side of the cave entrance, made a gesture of invitation, and said in a very low voice, "Every 150 steps, there will be an oil lamp, and a fire sickle."

Hong Wei took the scythe from Johan's hand and was the first to go, and his figure disappeared at the entrance of the cave immediately.Zhou Boyan followed and walked in the middle.After that was Gu Shitou, who cut off the heir.

The moment the figures of the three disappeared at the entrance of the cave, Johan touched the mechanism and the bookshelf returned to its place.He walked to the door and signaled to the four brocade-clothed guards guarding outside that they could go back.

The four brocade-clothed guards returned the same way without making a sound, continuing to guard the courtyard as if nothing had happened.Johan turned back into the study, closed the door, and sat alone in the dark.

In the narrow secret passage, Hong Wei, who is leading the battle, hits the fire sickle every 150 steps or so, and lights the oil lamp on the wall.With his hands behind his back, Zhou Boyan followed behind with his head slightly lowered.The broken Gu Shishi pricked up his ears to listen to the noise in the secret passage, and put his hand on the handle of the big knife hanging on his waist.

About half an hour later, three people climbed out of a well outside Ying City one after another.

This is not a village, not far from the city wall, there are only four or five scattered families nearby.Their daily drinking water comes from this well, but they don't know that there is another world under this well, which is a secret passageway.

Hong Wei put away the rope, and the figures of the three disappeared from the well.After walking for more than three miles, the six black figures waiting on the side of the road silently knelt on one knee to welcome them.

Zhou Boyan stretched out his hand, made a raised movement, and said in a low voice, "Lead the way."

Soon, someone came over and pulled out six horses from the woods beside the road.Zhou Boyan, Gu Shitou and Hong Wei each rode a horse.The six people were assigned tacitly, and the two rode a horse.A group of people galloped away, and after more than half an hour, they appeared in a dilapidated temple hidden in the mountains.

There was no need for them to knock on the door, there were a few creaks, and the decayed wooden door opened from the inside.

Zhou Boyan got off his horse, threw the reins to the person behind him, and stepped into the door.
