Chapter 178(2/2)
...
Xiao Han found a quiet and clean house near Yumen Villa and brought a few bandit nests. She had long been short of money. Compared to the inn, it would be better to live alone.
He also spent 1,000 taels of silver to ask for Tao Zhongfang's information from Tianshuiju. It was comprehensive, even the small statues of everyone in the villa, but Tao Fang's information was absolutely innocent and clear, with a bright and clear moon.
This made Xiao Han wonder if Tian Shuiju was cheating on her.
Compared to Tianshuiju, Xiao Han still believes in bracelets more, after all, she has been experimenting for more than a year.
Later, I saw that Tianshuiju's information was still divided into levels, Tiandi Xuanhuang, and what she got was a mysterious level. The information at the earth level cost 1,000 taels of gold, and Tian-level, haha, 10,000 taels of gold may not be obtained.
Xiao Han decided that if she was short of money one day, she would go to rob Tianshuiju. I wonder if the good value would be deducted.
Since he couldn't buy information in Tianshuiju, Xiao Han could only check it himself. The bracelet was willing to pay a thousand good value for Tao Zhongfang, so Tao Zhongfang must have some secret.
There are three days left before the disciple-taking banquet at Yumen Villa. The villa is busy with this matter. First, this is a major event in the village, and second, many of the people who come here are martial arts celebrities. The disciples of Yumen Villa can't help but stand up straight. They are proud that the villa has such a status in the world.
Xiao Han was forced to be a gentleman on the Liang Dynasty. He glanced at the bracelet again, and said that the value of good and evil has not changed.
The time she chose was that the elder of the Wuhen Sect led his disciples to Yumen Villa for a visit, and for the purpose of a three-day escort banquet. With Tao Zhongfang's character, no matter what kind of guests he came, even if he was just an unknown soldier in the world, he would personally meet him.
After quietly sneaking into Yumen Villa, Xiao Han first walked around the study, but found nothing, and there was no secret structure. Generally speaking, the study was a major area, but Tao Zhongfang's study was simple and clear at a glance, which showed his caution.
After seeing the study, Xiao Han went to Tao Zhongfang's bedroom again. No matter how careful he was, he would have to put any important and secret things close to him to be at ease.
The information I bought from Tianshuiju for one thousand taels was not completely lost, at least there was even a map of Yumen Villa.
On the way to go, Xiao Han heard a noise, which came from the martial arts training ground in the villa.
Xiao Han recognized that they were Tao Zhongfang’s three disciples, as well as his daughter Tao Yingying.
It seems that Ling Jing, the second disciple of Yumen Villa, had some disputes with Jiang Chao, the third disciple,
"Junior sister, I have a new rabbit made of jade. Do you want to go and see it?" Ling Jing was a little thoughtful. If he could win the favor of his junior sister, he might have more chances of winning from his master's decision.
When Tao Yingying heard that it was a rabbit carved in jade, she was a little excited, but after thinking about it, she still said, "I want to see the third senior brother practicing martial arts."
Ling Jing muttered, "No matter how much you practice, it's still the same."
Jiang Chao's eyes were slightly dim. As the eldest brother, Gu Ying looked at Ling Jing sternly, and Tao Yingying even shook Ling Jing's hand away and insisted on accompanying Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao declined politely, "This was assigned by the master for me. It may be better to let me practice quietly alone."
Xiao Han didn't care about the feelings between these young children, but she remembered that there was something in the information given by Tianshuiju. Tao Zhongfang's first two disciples Gu Ying and Ling Jing both had their origins. One was the son of a farmer who was accepted by Tao Zhongfang because of his roots, and the other was the youngest son who was sent to the court to learn from his masters.
Only Jiangchao, the information only says that more than ten years ago, Tao Zhongfang went out to visit a martial arts family and picked up a bloody baby by the river on his way home. This is what he claimed to be. Tianshuiju did not add too much. It is said that Tao Zhongfang loved this three disciple with mediocre martial arts qualifications. Because his martial arts skills were not high, he didn't even let him get involved in the adventures of the world.
What is strange is that even Tianshuiju cannot find out the life experience of an orphan.
Of course, maybe I wanted Xiao Han to spend more money on intelligence.
Xiao Han continued to go to Tao Zhongfang's residence, and there were also disciples from the villa outside the courtyard to patrol and walk around, but for Xiao Han, it was easy to make them unable to find it.
Tao Zhongfang, a hero in the world and the lord of a village, had his residence magnificent. Xiao Han searched carefully and found a secret wall on the wall, which was just arranged.
If you break it without authorization, you may be afraid that there will be hidden weapons in the mechanism, which will also be troublesome if you alarm people outside.
The hidden weapons of the mechanism, Qimen Dunjia, etc., were all learned a long time ago. Xiao Han didn't think of how to crack it for a while. Tao Zhongfang's reception of the elders of the Wuhen Sect should be almost over. Xiao Han simply wrote down the general appearance of the secret space and went back to think about the method of cracking it slowly.
After returning to the yard where he rented, Xiao Han used rice paper, pen and ink to draw the secret pattern.
As a martial arts holy place, Piaomiao Sect has collected countless unique skills. As the leader of the sect, Xiao Han has been able to see them all, but even if she can't remember them clearly, she can't even remember what happened hundreds of years ago.
I have to take time to think about it slowly. After a long time, there were only twenty cracked images I tried to draw.
There are two days left before the escort banquet in Yumen Villa, but Xiao Han had a premonition that if he did not kill Tao Zhongfang before or find out why he was targeted by a bracelet, something bad might happen.
After being busy until late at night, Xiao Han was a little hungry and went to the kitchen to prepare for cooking.
Fortunately, when she lived there, she bought ingredients for ten days and put them in the kitchen. She simply made a bowl of Ruyi fish fillet porridge, Sixi meatballs, crab roe fried chicken and lotus seed soup.
The fragrance is so tempting.
When Xiao Han turned to the kitchen to serve rice, she snatched her sword, with a tingling sound, only half an inch away from the neck of the uninvited person late at night, and was a handsome young man.
Meng Yu's white face slid cold sweat, "I'm upsetting my husband... No, it should be a girl."
He recognized at a glance that although he was a man's clothing, he was a woman. Of course, Xiao Han did not deliberately hide it. The men's clothing was just for convenience.
Meng Yu tried to get himself away from the dangerous sword tip, but no matter how fast his light skills seemed, he could not escape her sword.
At such a young age, there is such a swordsmanship, which is more than a finger in the world. Meng Yu's eyes are slightly deeper, but more thoughts are still attracted by the tempting dishes on the table.
At this time, another person came in, with eyebrows as far as the mountain, handsome face, long blue clothes, and green hairbands. Seeing that his friend's life was hanging on, his heart also raised, but he still maintained calmness. He knew Meng Yu's martial arts attainments, but he was afraid he was really trapped.
"Shaotang, you are in too." Meng Yu smiled awkwardly.
The young master in Qingyi, that is, Jiang Shaotang, said with a smile, "I knew something was wrong when I saw you not coming back for a long time."
When he looked at Xiao Han again, he knew about Meng Yu's unruly and stubborn personality. He thought he was a person living alone in the world, but he didn't want to offend this. He didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of hurting Meng Yu.
Then he politely said, "He is Jiang Shaotang, he is my friend Meng Yu, and I hope the girl will be proud of her."
Even if there is only one sentence, it makes people feel extremely polite and polite with his expression.
But Xiao Han took the sword, not because of his words, but because she was not sure whether killing people who didn't know good or evil would affect the good or evil value. Since she didn't kill, she could only let it go.
She said lightly, "Go out, don't be an example."
Meng Yu was relieved, but he mustered up the courage to say, "I won't know each other until I fight, I don't know if I can have a meal together."
Because of some things on the road, it was late at night when we arrived here. Meng Yu and Jiang Shaotang were still thinking about finding an inn to fill their stomachs, but the fragrance from Xiao Han's residence was really tempting, so he gave birth to a sensitive and good nose.
Ten times the temptation to others is a hundred times the temptation to him, so he became a gentleman on the Liang Dynasty. He thought that with his skills, it was easier to get a bowl of vegetables, but he didn't expect that not only did he have such good cooking skills, he was not even weak in martial arts.
Meng Yu could only glance at the dishes on the table and then take action, for fear that the sword would really have an intimate contact with his neck.
"You see, you can't eat so much, right?" Meng Yu tried to convince her to turn war into jade.
But I heard Xiao Han say, "Do you know how to crack the mechanism?"
Xiao Han took out the secret grid drawing and placed it on the table, "If you can break it, it's okay to invite you to eat."
Her patience lasted for a long time, and she was ready to use external forces to break the secrets and see what secrets were inside.
"No problem." When Jiang Shaotang was still hesitating, Meng Yu responded in one go. Isn't it just a secret mechanism? As a disciple of the old man in Tianshan, this is just a minor meaning.
"Then we'll eat first and then talk about cracking the mechanism." Meng Yu's hand was almost touching the chopsticks, but the cold light shook, and his hand seemed to touch the sword energy, and immediately shrank back.
If he had been slowing down for half a moment, he would have been afraid that he would have suffered a bloody disaster.
Xiao Han said expressionlessly, "When will I finish cracking it? I will invite you to eat again."
Then Xiao Han was having a calm meal there, while Meng Yu pulled Jiang Shaotang to study the drawings there. One of them was a senior disciple of the hidden world, and the other was a young master of the martial arts family.
Xiao Han was not worried that they had any doubts. Anyway, they could not recognize that this was the secret drawing of Tao Zhongfang's dormitory.
Perhaps it was because of the instinct of foodies that caused Meng Yu's potential to explode, or perhaps it was because he was really smart. In less than a quarter of an hour, he found a way to crack the secret structure of this mechanism.
"I know how to solve it. Just transfer this jade bead to the place with Pojun and..."
Meng Yu sighed, "It's a pity that there is no pot of good wine."
Jiang Shaotang was also a little surprised. He came from a martial arts family and had tasted a lot of delicious food, but it was not as good as this table. He couldn't help but smile in his heart, Meng Yu's nose was really amazing.
After using the meal, Xiao Han invited them out mercilessly.
Until he stood outside the door, Meng Yu didn't come to his senses for a long time, "I thought I would be a friend after having dinner together."
Jiang Shaotang smiled gently, but his handsome eyebrows were slightly sad, "For some reason, that secret always made me a little worried, something might happen." Although they were suspicious, they also fulfilled their promise without any adulteration.
