Chapter 401 Bait
"Of course the things are there. Why do you want to come over and check out the Singing Bird Dragon Stone?"
Qi Cen was not very polite at this time. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Xuanbing Mansion had just lost something, and now Zong Cen came to inquire about the situation of the Mingque Dragon Stone. It was natural for him to be angry.
"That's not the case. I just came here to remind you to put your things away."
"It's not that you don't have to worry, Sect Leader. My Xuanbing Mansion naturally has a better and more secret place to store the Singing Bird Dragon Stone."
Zong Cen did not expect that Qu Huisi would speak so toughly. When he found out that something was missing in the morning, he still looked very nervous and helpless. What happened today that caused such a change?
For a moment, the flower hall fell into an eerie silence. Neither of them spoke, and no one served Zong Cen tea, so he could only sit there awkwardly.
The housekeeper came at this time. Seeing that there were still guests in the hall, he thought of waiting outside.
"come in."
Qi Cen was looking coldly at Zong Cen mainly because he wanted to force this person to see if this kind of behavior of ignoring would annoy the other party and make him show his true colors.
Zong Cen saw someone coming in and didn't say anything about leaving, so he sat in his seat and wanted to see what the young master of the mansion was going to do.
"What's the matter?"
"Reporting to the Mansion Master, we have checked all the pools and wells in the villa, and found nothing."
"What about those abandoned ones in the backyard? Have you checked them?"
Qi Cen looked in the direction of Zong Cen. This man looked indifferent, but his inquiring eyes finally revealed his thoughts.
Perhaps because he has not been in power for long, this sect leader is still a little petty in his actions. He was basically pushed to this position by the eight major forces.
Now he has ambitions and is starting to want to disintegrate the eight major forces.
Qi Cen sneered in his heart and turned his gaze back to the butler.
"I haven't had time to check the backyard yet. It's too late to search now. I can only make plans after tomorrow morning."
"Please arrange this. Report any findings to me immediately."
"It's the master of the palace."
The butler finished his act with Qi Cen and stood there without leaving. Instead, he looked at Zong Cen with some embarrassment.
"Anything else?"
The butler immediately came back to his senses and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"The Palace Master has not had dinner yet, and the Sect Leader is here too. Do we need to prepare enough for two people?"
"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't asked me."
Qi Cen finally reacted at this time and immediately stood up to ask Zong Cen.
"Can the Sect Leader have dinner? What if you don't want to stay with us?"
At this time, Qi Cen said that he wanted to eat together, but his attitude showed that he didn't really want to eat together.
His attitude towards him was not very good before, so he couldn't just change it all of a sudden. Plus, the housekeeper just reported that he found nothing, so it's possible that his mood became even worse.
Zong Cen was just about to find an excuse to leave. Only after he left would Qu Huisi go to check the condition of the Mingque Dragon Stone, and only then would he have a chance to find out where the Dragon Stone was hidden.
"Master Qu, you are welcome. I have already had dinner. Since Master Qu has not yet had dinner, I will not disturb you and will go back first."
Zong Cen stood up to leave, and Qi Cen naturally would not stop him. He was also waiting for him to leave quickly.
Only after he leaves can the rest of the play continue.
After watching Zong Cen leave the yard, the housekeeper went downstairs to have dinner delivered.
Qi Cen was not in a hurry to do the following things, but was in the flower hall dealing with the letters that had been delivered to him before.
These things were supposed to be dealt with in the study, but someone died in the study that morning, so the housekeeper moved his frequently-used things here, saying that he would wait until the study was done before going back.
Qi Cen didn't quite understand these things, so he could only do whatever the butler said.
After dinner, Qi Cen went to a small courtyard behind the study without bringing anyone with him. There was only one room in the courtyard, right in the middle of it.
The house is surrounded by pools of water. This house is said to be a small Buddhist temple, but in fact there is a secret room here. Usually nothing is placed there, but this time the things Song Ying gave would explode, so this place was chosen for safety reasons.
He changed into white clothes, put on a cloak, and walked slowly in the manor with a lantern.
After nightfall, there was a slightly cool evening breeze. I walked along the path among the flowers. The corners of my clothes collided with the flowers, carrying away a hint of fragrance.
There was only the sound of one person's footsteps in the yard. People with martial arts skills should not have footsteps, but Qi Cen was still pretending that his martial arts skills were not very good.
The lights behind me were flickering, and I could vaguely see a person in night clothes following me.
Qi Cen is like a line with bait on it, luring the fish to take the bait quickly.
Push open the door of the small Buddhist hall, and you will see that the candlelight inside is always watched over and never goes out.
After entering the house, hang the lantern on the rack by the door, wash your hands with clean water, and then walk to the altar to light incense.
The people following outside originally wanted to get closer, but they found that the house was surrounded by water and there were only two ways to get there. Both roads were completely unobstructed, so if they walked on them they would be exposed.
It is definitely not possible to fly over there using light skills. The defense of the entire villa has become tighter since the weapons were lost. Anyone who flies will be shot by the guards.
In such an environment, Qi Cen was careful when entering the Buddhist temple and did not close the door, so that even if the person was in the bushes in the distance, he could still get a general idea of what was going on.
After burning incense, Qi Cen knelt down on the cushion and kowtowed three times respectfully.
When the last kowtow was completed, a slight sound of gears turning could be heard, and a hole appeared in the open space near the corner.
Qi Cen walked over and went down the stairs to the secret room below.
When his figure completely disappears from the cave entrance, the floor tiles above will move back to their original positions by themselves.
The people outside the Buddhist hall only saw Qi Cen kowtow and then walk to the corner and did not come out for a long time. After waiting for a long time, he ventured over and walked into the Buddhist hall, but found that there was no one inside.
After confirming that the person had entered the secret room, the man in black did not stay long. He immediately left the Buddhist hall and walked quickly around the villa.
I didn't notice anyone following behind me at all.
The person who was following saw his face clearly when they passed a bright spot. It was Du Mocheng (Leng Jin) of the Fushen Sect.
It had already been discussed during lunch, and the Fushen Sect had mastered the tracking techniques used for assassinations.
The man in black in front didn't notice that there was someone following him. He wandered around the villa until he came to a remote courtyard.
This courtyard seemed to be well maintained. It was pitch dark in the courtyard and everything looked blurry on a moonless night.
As soon as the man in black stood still in the courtyard, the door of the house was opened.
"Master, the thing should be in the dark room of the Buddhist hall. Kneel down on the cushion and kowtow three times to open it."
"Why didn't you bring the stuff back?"
The person in the room never appeared. Standing in the shadows, one could only see a jade pendant hanging around his waist. It was too dark at night to see the specific style.
Leng Jin stood on the big tree at the gate of the yard and saw everything in the yard clearly. The only thing he didn't see was the face of the person inside.
You can't be impatient at this time, wait for them to finish speaking.
In fact, the two of them didn't say anything there. They just listened to the man in black report who Qu Huisi had met today. At noon, there were too many experts in Shi Muyuan and Liu Zhongju's courtyards for him to get close, and he didn't get any information.
What was even worse was that no news was heard in the courtyard of Dingfeng Villa in the afternoon. At that time, several junior brothers from Dingfeng Villa were afraid of being punished by their senior sister, so they obediently helped to keep watch outside.
Song Ying was extremely careful when talking to Qi Cen, and no sound was heard.
When the people in the room heard the black-clothed man's words, they took a few steps forward angrily. From the swaying jade pendant on his waist, they could feel that these steps were quite big.
"What on earth could you have done? You didn't hear anything at such an important place like Dingfeng Villa at noon?"
He didn't know that he didn't go into the yard at noon, and he went to report the news to Zong Cen. He would never tell anyone about such a thing.
The man in black immediately knelt down and began to plead guilty.
"Please forgive me, my Lord. It is my inability to do my best."
Leng Jin had heard about this person from the secret guards around Qi Cen before. He was considered a spy and was currently reaping the benefits from both sides.
When Leng Jin heard the voice in the room, he knew it was not Zong Cen. It was most likely Nie Feice, whom he had never met.
At this time, the people in the house came out and stood in the yard.
Although there was no moonlight and no lights in the yard, I could still barely see the other person's face clearly.
Leng Jin was now certain that this person was Nie Feice. He had seen a small portrait of him in the information brought by the secret guard. The portrait was so similar that he could be recognized at a glance.
After determining who the other party was and his current location, Leng Jin wanted to retreat, but Nie Feice's martial arts skills were better than his, and he would definitely notice any movement he made.
During this brief moment of hesitation, the slight change in breathing was immediately noticed by the other party.
Nie Feice did not use the sword of Xuanbing Mansion, but a sword. Even if it was a sword, it was a relatively small one, shorter than a long sword and longer than a dagger.
The man drew his sword not to fight Leng Jin, but to kill the man in black.
The claw rope in Leng Jin's hand flew out of his hand. The man in black also realized that Nie Feice wanted to silence him and was running towards Leng Jin.
The claw rope flew out to meet the man in black, grabbed his shoulders and pulled him directly up the tree.
Leng Jin didn't care that the other person's shoulder was injured by the claws of the claw rope, and used the claw rope to tie the man up in the dense leaves.
At this time, Nie Feice had already arrived here in a few steps, and Leng Jin threw the hidden weapon in his hand out.
In order to prevent him from getting close to the man in black, Leng Jin threw hidden weapons while moving forward to meet him.
Qi Cen should have told the guard team. As soon as the fighting broke out here, the guard team got the news and were heading here.
Leng Jin's task now is to protect the men in black and delay time. As long as he can delay until the guards arrive, Nie Feice will either be caught or run away.
For a moment, hidden weapons and sword lights flashed in the small courtyard. One was trying hard to increase the distance, while the other was approaching quickly.
In this situation, the two of them formed a tug-of-war mode. At the beginning, Nie Feice could still knock away some hidden weapons, but as the left protector of the Fushen Sect, his hidden weapon skills were naturally both obvious and covert.
While launching the hidden weapons in the open, you can also launch the hidden weapons in the dark, so that you can interfere with the opponent in such an open fighting environment.
The guards made some noise when they came over, which made Nie Feice, who wanted to hide, not as calm as before.
Even during the fight, Leng Jin's hidden weapon hit the opponent.
The hidden weapons of the Fushen Sect are all specially made. After hitting the target, they will explode in the wound and bite the opponent to death.
Some hidden weapons even have a poison sac inside, which will melt when it comes into contact with blood, allowing the poison inside to enter the opponent's body.
The hidden weapons that Leng Jin used this time were not poisoned. After all, he was participating in a martial arts conference this time, and most of the hidden weapons were normal. He actually had some poisoned weapons on him.
The poison is too strong. Nie Feice still has some use for it and cannot tear it off now, so he can't use it.
After Nie Feice was hit, there was a gap in the sword in his hand, and he was hit on the arm by a hidden weapon.
In such an environment, if he didn't leave, he would really have no way to leave. If he was caught in Xuanbing Mansion, he would really have no place to stand, and that little wolf cub would take the opportunity to remove him from Xuanbing Mansion.
Nie Feice was naturally unwilling, but he had to go, so he knocked away the hidden weapons and evacuated the house.
There is a secret passage in the house. As long as they go in and close the door, they will not be able to catch up with him immediately. After going down the mountain, he will have more room to maneuver.
Leng Jin saw through his movements. He had originally kept his distance in order to avoid the opponent's sword, so now he had to put in more effort if he wanted to catch up.
They used hidden weapons to mark the places where the other party had passed, and even after entering the room, wherever the hands touched was marked with hidden weapons.
Even if Nie Feice runs away later, we will be able to catch up with him faster.
Nie Feice pressed a button in the corner of the room, and a hole appeared in the floor of the room, with even light in the hole.
This person started to cause trouble when he entered the room, using furniture to block Leng Jin's movements and even destroying the mechanism.
Nie Feice slid into the tunnel like a fish, and the entrance closed immediately after he entered.
When Leng Jin came in, he saw the floor and the destroyed mechanism had been restored to their original state.
It was not clear where Nie Feice entered the tunnel from, so the range could only be limited to the corner of the house.
Leng Jin held a hidden weapon in his hand and kept knocking on the floor tiles, trying to hear if there were any holes underneath.
He didn't expect that the floor tiles of the hole were very thick, so such knocks could not be heard at all.
The environment here is too dark and some details cannot be seen clearly.
At this time, the guards arrived. A group of people rushed in with lanterns. The originally dark room was illuminated, and Leng Jin could see the environment in the room clearly.
There were bloodstains on the ground. Nie Feice was injured, one on his hand. Time was too tight and he didn't have time to stop the bleeding. A series of bloodstains exposed the location of the tunnel.
I went up and tapped the ground lightly, but there was still no different sound. This meant that the thickness of the floor tile was too thick.
"This is the tunnel entrance. He escaped from here. There is another person on the tree outside. Catch him and interrogate him. Don't tell anyone."
Leng Jin walked out after he finished speaking. He still had to go to Qi Cen to talk to him about something. He thought that he would need to send more people to search for Nie Feice in the city below.
Zong Cen also had to find a way to keep it secret for the time being. These were not things that he, an outsider, could command, so he could only go to Qi Cen.
When he passed by the tree outside the door, he climbed up the tree and put the person down. He also had to take back his weapon. He could throw away the hidden weapon at will, but he couldn't throw the claw rope.
After collecting his things and handing the man over to the guards, he walked towards Qi Cen's yard.
I didn't expect to see people on the road who shouldn't be here at this time.
