After rebirth, the little junior sister’s salty life
Chapter 475 Siege
In recent days, the City Lord's Mansion has been taking frequent actions and sending more and more manpower. Not only that, they also sent special personnel to guard the gates of the old houses of the Liu family, the Ye family, and the Zhuo family. If anyone dared to set foot in these forbidden areas, they would be captured on the spot and taken back to the city lord's palace for trial.
Ye Zhao silently watched the guards hiding in the streets and alleys, feeling anxious in his heart. If the situation continues to develop like this, it may no longer be possible to hide that vital thing from the world.
\"Mr. Ye, what's wrong with you? I see cold sweat on your forehead. Could it be that you're feeling unwell?\" Ouyang Jingjing stood behind him, staring at him with worry on her face.
However, at this moment, Ye Zhao had no time to care about other things. His mind was full of thoughts about how to sneak into the Ye family and retrieve the key item. Unfortunately, the guards were tight at the moment, and it was not easy to break through the siege.
"Ah, nothing's wrong! It's really hot today, I'd better go back and have a rest first." Before he finished speaking, the man turned and left without looking back, as if he didn't want to stay any longer.
Ouyang Jingjing looked at his retreating figure and couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in her heart. With a woman's unique intuition, she always felt that what the other person just said was not entirely true. So, she hurriedly found Qing Ning without hesitation and told her all her doubts.
"In my opinion, he looks like this because he probably wants to rush back to Ye Mansion. This means that what we are looking for is very likely to be in Ye Mansion. So, Jingjing, tonight you We might as well sneak into Ye Mansion and search around. I firmly believe that the items we need must be hidden somewhere in there!"
"Don't worry, tonight I will go out and find out in person. I have to dig it out!" Ouyang Jingjing responded with firm eyes.
"Keep the noise down, and don't alert others." Qing Ning looked at Ouyang Jingjing seriously and reminded her softly. She knew very well that if she didn't remind her, Ouyang Jingjing's personality would definitely make the matter a big deal and make it known to everyone.
"Don't worry, I know how to act." Ouyang Jingjing replied confidently, but her words made Qing Ning feel more and more uneasy.
As night fell, the surrounding area was pitch black, as if it had been soaked in ink. Ouyang Jingjing wore a dark dress, like a ghost in the night, quietly left the courtyard and headed towards the dilapidated Ye Zhao Mansion.
Since there was a dedicated guard there, Ouyang Jingjing wisely chose to climb over the side wall. When she successfully entered the inner courtyard, she found that perhaps because it had been uninhabited for a long time, it was covered with dense spider webs and thick dust accumulated on the ground.
"Hey, I didn't expect the dust here to be so thick!" She exclaimed softly.
He stretched out his fingers and carefully touched the dusty table, as if he was afraid of awakening some secret that had been sleeping for a long time. However, with just this slight touch, his fingers were covered with a thick layer of ash, like traces left by the years.
She waved her arms subconsciously, trying to disperse the dust in front of her. Unexpectedly, this wave actually set off a small sandstorm, with countless tiny dust particles flying and swirling in the air, making people cough repeatedly.
"Ahem...there's really too much dust here. How long has it been since it was cleaned? That's all, it's better to find what I want quickly." She murmured to herself and covered it with her hands. Cover your mouth and nose to avoid breathing in more dust.
According to the clues given by Qing Ning, this thing should not be too big, and it is extremely cleverly hidden. So, she began to observe her surroundings carefully, her eyes as sharp as a hawk, not missing any corner where items might be hidden.
She walked quietly through the room, sometimes stopping and looking around; sometimes leaning down to listen, trying to catch the subtle sounds. Occasionally, I would reach out and tap on the wall or touch the furniture, hoping to find the key.
However, after a lot of efforts, still nothing was found. Every place that looked suspicious turned out to be just an ordinary furnishing or decoration, nothing special about it.
She casually walked to a corner, randomly picked a seat and sat down. However, this seemingly careless sitting caused unexpected consequences - perhaps due to the lack of sufficient support behind her to bear her weight, she fell to the ground.
Just when she was about to scream, her hands groped around in panic, trying to find a point of support that could stabilize her body. In a panic, her fingers accidentally touched a small box. This box is not big in size, but it is exquisite, cute and original.
Driven by curiosity, she gently opened the lid of the box and saw two pictures lying quietly inside. In an instant, a look of ecstasy flashed across her face.
It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all! It turned out that this was exactly what Ningning had been looking for, and now she found it so easily.
"I didn't expect that I would find it so quickly. God helps me, hahahahaha... that's it!" With a burst of excited laughter, the speaker quickly put the mysterious box into his arms, and then He hurriedly left without looking back, leaving behind only the eerie Ye Mansion with the smell of dust everywhere.
After returning to a safe place - her own yard, Ouyang Jingjing couldn't wait to show her harvest to Qing Ning. Qing Ning carefully took the box and opened it gently. As expected, there were two old maps inside. Then, Qing Ning took out the handkerchief Zhuo Yi had given her before and put it together with the other two maps. At this moment, the three precious treasure maps were finally fully displayed in front of us. It can be clearly seen that they all point to the same place - located on a towering snow mountain.
"It seems that the real treasure is not in this city," Ouyang Jingjing said thoughtfully, "We might as well go explore it tomorrow night. I want to see what kind of rare thing this so-called treasure is." After all, her eyes shone with anticipation and curiosity.
Just when the two were about to lie down and take a rest, a burst of hasty footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Immediately afterwards, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Fang Yuanyuan walked into the house in a hurry.
"Something happened!" She said anxiously, "I happened to overhear their conversation at the City Lord's Mansion just now, and now Ming Haijun is gathering guards to besiege our courtyard!"
"Could it be that Ye Zhao accidentally exposed his whereabouts when he went out? That's why they planned to take action tonight, capture him and force him to find out the whereabouts of the real treasure map." Qing Ning secretly speculated, and the facts proved that her guess was actually eighty-eighth. Nine is inseparable from ten.
"Then should we hide first?" someone suggested.
"No need!" Another person retorted: "After all, I have been hiding for a long time, so there is no need. Besides, it is time to have a head-on confrontation with them! There is no need to tell them specifically, I would like to see what Zhuo Yi will do. How to deal with this."
As expected, before she finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door. Immediately afterwards, a group of people broke into the yard like wolves and tigers, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Zhuo Yi, who had just laid down to rest, heard the noisy movement in the yard. He immediately sat up, put on his clothes and walked quickly to the door. When he saw clearly that the person who came was wearing the uniform of a guard of the City Lord's Mansion, he couldn't help but feel nervous, but he quickly calmed down.
In fact, he knew in his heart that they would be discovered sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. After all, his current injury is just recovering, and this battle will definitely have some impact on his physical condition. However, he had no time to care about this at the moment. He clenched the sword in his hand without hesitation and rushed out of the door.
At the same time, Ye Zhao, who lived in another room, seemed a little panicked when he first saw this group of uninvited guests. But seeing that Zhuo Yi had already taken action, he quickly drew his sword out of its sheath and stabbed hard at the enemy.
The guards were well-trained and quickly surrounded the two of them, forming an airtight line of defense. Ye Zhao and Zhuo Yi kept looking for opportunities to break out, but faced with such a tight siege, it was difficult to find a loophole for a while.
