After Wang Junlin finished speaking, he glanced around again, and finally said to Shen Guang in a low voice: “Go back and tell Zhan Peng, let him take other people and don’t rush to move here, and take me and the three guards around me.” Tian’s daily necessities will be delivered first. In addition, you can go to the Nighthawk Envoys for their help, and work with them to find Zimo and Guo’er.”

Wang Junlin faintly felt that the other party was hiding nearby and watching him, but he had no way to block the market, so he could only let Shen Guang search nearby.

“Remember the humble job.”

Shen Guang bowed and agreed, and was about to leave. Wang Junlin suddenly remembered something and said, “Secretly stare at Sun Simiao.”

Shen Guang was stunned when he heard the words, his face showed anger, and he said in a low voice: “When the humble official returns, he will lead someone to take down the old Taoist and torture him to extract a confession. I’m not afraid that he won’t speak out.”

Wang Junlin shook his head and said, “No, I just suspect that the monster who hijacked Zimo and Guoer is related to Sun Simiao, but there is no evidence, so you must not be rude to Sun Simiao.”

“The humble job understands.” It was a matter of his sister’s safety, Shen Guang had some disapproval of Wang Junlin’s actions in his heart, but he chose to obey in the end.

Wang Junlin saw that Shen Guang was anxious, and said, “Don’t worry, these monsters are after me. As long as I live, they won’t hurt Guo’er and Zimo.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shen Guang to reply, Wang Junlin turned around and walked towards the depths of this huge manor. Niu Jinda nodded to Shen Guang, and followed with a group of guards.

Among the crowd watching from a distance, there was a pair of old couple supporting each other, as the crowd gradually dispersed, when they turned around an alley and entered a small courtyard, the old woman with a stooped body The man straightened his body, and rubbed his face a few times, a piece of human skin as thin as a cicada’s wing. The mask was taken off, and then he wiped his face with a damp cloth a few times, took off the hood, and immediately She turned into a beautiful woman in her thirties, and the other old man did the same thing, but turned into an old man with a rosy face and cold eyes.

“Daoist, this Wang Junlin is really not easy. He cracked our Beast King Liquid easily. He originally planned to make the guards around him panic, but it seems that it will not work now. But, speaking of it, he It’s really surprising that the horse and lynx next to me didn’t get scared off by the beast king liquid.” The beautiful woman said to the old man with some regrets.

“Kunlun Yin Jun died under the punishment of thunder in a daze, and Sun Simiao was surrounded by him. He claimed that he would not leave within three months, saying that this kid explained clearly to him what punishment by thunder was, and he said that he would follow the king. King’s Landing learned to dissect corpses. There is also that strange object called abacus, which is simply called a magical object, which can increase the efficiency of arithmetic by more than ten times. In addition, it is said that he poisoned tens of thousands of Turks with a barrel of venom. Now it seems that this kid is definitely the same as us, both from the Xianyin Sect, and most of them are from the Inner Five Sect. I didn’t want to be troublesome at first, but you insisted on showing off, but now Wang Junlin is eyeing him. People, we are from the five outer sects, it stands to reason that it is not a good thing to offend Wang Junlin, but since he has been born and is an official in the court, there is no need to worry about revenge from his Xianyin sect, and if we win in the process of fighting against him , with a great reputation in Xianyinmen, and Huaxu City will be opened three years later, maybe there will be one more quota.” The old man said with a strange light in his eyes.

This royal manor is very large, with pavilions, towers and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. It can be seen at a glance that it was built by famous masters. The reason why it is deserted, or why no royal family is willing to live here, according to Yang Lihua , because this was originally the other courtyard of a prince in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When Yang Jian usurped the country, this prince first pretended to submit to Yang Jian, pretended to be a snake, and then planned to assassinate Yang Jian, but in the end the plan was revealed, and Yang Jian wiped out the whole family. , more than 700 people died in this manor. Although the corpses and bloodstains were cleaned afterwards, the founding heroes and the royal family at that time were unwilling to live here, so it was desolate.

In an attic by a small lake in the central courtyard, I chose a room that was good for defense, and ordered a few guards to clean it up. I went to connect with the old eunuchs who guarded the manor, and after that, I took a few guards to check everywhere to see if there were any unknown dangers hidden.

It took half an hour to walk around the yard. It was so vast, and the blood-maned horse and Mao Mao were very excited, especially because there was a racetrack sent by Yang Guang next to it.

Maomao likes this place mainly because most of the manor has not been inhabited for a long time, and there are many small animals living here, such as little rabbits, little foxes, and some wild dogs. These living creatures would all become the prey of Mao Mao, just now Mao Mao killed a wild dog that dared to bark at him.

Even if no one lives in the Royal Manor, there are people guarding it. It’s just that the guards are very old and the manor is so big that most of the area is too lazy to look at it, which is why it has become like a wild animal park.

After learning that Wang Junlin, the new landlord, had arrived, three old eunuchs and eleven elderly palace guards came to say goodbye, preparing to pack up and leave. They had received a notice from the palace a few days ago that as long as Wang Junlin evacuated as soon as he arrived, but Wang Junlin saw that it was getting dark, so he asked them to stay another night. The old eunuchs and old guards were naturally very grateful. The shortest of them had lived here for four or five years. They had a lot of living utensils and personal assets. They had to tidy up and find a carriage or something.

For dinner, in addition to Zhanpeng sending people to eat, there are three fat roast rabbits and two large pots of dog meat hot pot. This is all thanks to Mao Mao and the blood-maned horse. Wang Junlin graciously invited the three old eunuchs and the eleven inner guards to come over for dinner, and made the latter feel grateful to Wang Junlin.

Of course wine is indispensable. After drinking a little wine, these people, under Wang Junlin’s deliberate guidance, revealed all the secrets about the manor, such as various darkrooms, underground passages and so on.

Finally, the fourteen eunuchs and Ouchi guards between the ages of forty and sixty begged Wang Junlin if he could talk to the palace and directly take them in as trash. Wang Junlin hesitated for a moment, and said that he would send someone to ask him tomorrow, which made the fourteen old guys ecstatic, kneel down and swear allegiance to him loudly.

The fourteen of them have been thrown into this manor these years, and they are all the worst in the palace. Returning to the palace sounds beautiful, but in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is miserable to start the life of a slave who is walking on thin ice, intriguing, and has no freedom.

After the meal, Niu Jinda led a group of guards and began to set up guards outside. Wang Junlin closed his eyes in the room and rested his mind, thinking about the fighting skills mentioned in the letter of the monster who hijacked Yuzimo and Guoer .

What is “fighting skills”, what kind of fighting skills, he absolutely does not believe that there are ghosts, gods and magic in this world. Even if he came from time travel, and now he has inner strength and true energy in cultivation.

The sky was completely dark, the sound of the wind blowing the bamboo forest outside the house and the lotus flowers in the small lake, and the rustling of the reeds in the distance, somehow, it seemed as if all the crows in the capital had come here, Squatting on the big tree by the small lake, yelling non-stop, Niu Jinda and the guards felt like they were facing an enemy, because during the meal, Wang Junlin specifically confessed that some strange things might happen tonight, which made Niu Jinda They must be very vigilant, and once they find the trace of the thief, they will kill without mercy.

Niu Jinda was annoyed by the crow’s cry, so he sent someone to chase the crow away, but the crow drove away, but after the four guards who chased the crow came back, two of the guards fell into a coma, as if cursed by the crow Yes, no matter how other people shake and call, they can’t wake up.

According to what the other two guards said, the two guards shot a crow to death with bows and arrows, and they did not see any attack on the two guards during the period.

Such a strange incident made Niu Jinda and the guards feel terrified, so they naturally wanted to report it to Wang Junlin.

Wang Junlin carefully inspected the bodies of the two sleeping guards, and finally found a small, almost invisible blood-red dot on each of their ears. It should be poisonous.”

Niu Jinda and a group of guards were taken aback when they heard the words, but they were relieved. Niu Jinda even said: “It’s not as if they were plotted by some ghost.”

After a pause, he continued: “However, the thieves were able to make our brother hit the hidden weapon silently, without the slightest notice. This method is terrifying.”

Wang Junlin nodded, expressing his agreement with Niu Jinda’s words, then put his nose on the blood-red dot and smelled it, there was a faint pungent sweet smell, which reminded him of a chemical substance, his pupils shrank, and he also secretly He breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: “Is this an ether needle? No wonder I fell into a coma and couldn’t wake up. But I will wake up tomorrow, so don’t worry.”

Then Wang Junlin remembered something, but his face changed, and he lost his voice: “Isn’t ether a chemical product? How could a thief have it, how could it be?”

“Could it be… Could it be that they came from time travel too?” Looking at Niu Jinda and the others who were at a loss after listening to Wang Junlin’s words, Wang Junlin cried out in disbelief.

Wang Junlin waved his hand to let Niu Jinda and others go out. Wang Junlin was so shaken that he couldn’t calm down for a while.

When he regained his composure, he raised his head and looked out the window, only to find that it was pitch black outside, and he could not see his fingers. The master also disappeared.
