Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 477 etc. Chapter 481 Are Helian people?

A quarter of an hour is usually only half a cup of tea time, but now it suddenly becomes longer.

Not only Shen Xi did not speak, He Lanzhun and Huo Jiu also held tea and did not speak.

Since Bi Shangyun is the real murderer, the Taifu's mansion is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. A person who can randomly pull out more than seventy killers to assassinate, he will not be easy to deal with anyway.

"My lord, it's ready."

Xiao Huai looked at the engraving on the corner of the table, got up and said, "Let's go."

Several people got up one after another and stepped out of the palace gate briskly.

With the appearance of Shen Xi, the twelve shadow guards given by King Yan quietly hid around her.

Their mission tonight is to show up when Shen Xi is in any danger, and the rest are just shadows.

He didn't drive a horse or ride in a chariot, and he didn't even leave the gate of the palace. He directly used the fence to hold the wall, and used light work to get out of the mansion.

Bi's mansion is not far from Yanwang's mansion, before coming here Huo Jiu had already mentioned the deployment tonight.

Two quarters of an hour ago, Bi Shangyun left the mansion and entered the palace, and it would take at least an hour to go back and forth. If they escaped the guard post in the mansion when they entered the mansion, they could enter his bedroom within two quarters of an hour.

And if he can successfully enter the secret room again, then the rest will be easy to deal with.

Soon they arrived at the back wall where she and Qi Jiu came last time.

Naturally, it went much smoother than last time.

Because Shen Xi was thin, lying on Xiao Huai's back was like a burden, and Xiao Huai's skills were not affected at all.

After entering the fence, Xiao Huai put her down, and then greeted He Lanzhun and Su Yan: "You two keep separate ends, in case the situation changes when we exit."

He Lan Zhun said: "I will make arrangements for this, if you retreat, just come towards the back wall."

After speaking, he took a deep look at Shen Xi again, and said, "Be careful."

Shen Xi nodded.

Xiao Huai grabbed her hand and followed Huo Jiu to the front yard of Bi Mansion.

Huo Jiu was good at detecting cases, so he naturally trained a group of competent men. After staying in Bi Mansion for a few days, he not only found out that Bi Shangyun had another secret room, but also had some understanding of the routes and guard posts in Bi Mansion.

At least it made it so smooth for Shen Xi and the others to walk out of the rockery, pass by the lakeside where he enjoyed the entertainment that day, and meet the maid at the gate of the inner garden.

"After entering the garden, there are a total of 24 people guarding the garden.

"The points of the sentry posts are distributed roughly in the shape of a letter A. If we want to enter, we must pass through their sentry posts. There is no empty door."

Huo Jiu motioned everyone to stop behind the screen wall first.

"Then what should we do?" Shen Xi asked quietly.

"It's impossible to get soft ones, only hard ones." He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and handed it to the guards around him with some playfulness: "Take it and sprinkle it in the air, as long as they suck it in We will be recruited, and we will go in again when we are introduced."

The guard took it.

Shen Xi stopped him and said, "Wait!"

She looked up and looked at them, and said: "The wind is blowing from the southeast tonight, and there may be rain in the second half of the night, so the wind speed varies from time to time. First, go to the southeast corner and squat down. After half a quarter of an hour, you will see them." When the leaves are still, they spill out quietly."

If you forcefully sprinkle it, it will inevitably alarm other people. Although you are prepared to break through, it is better to have one thing than one thing.

And it would be great if they could use the force of the wind to send the drug into their nostrils and lips without anyone noticing it.

Huo Jiu looked at the moonlit and star-sparse sky, and was still a little bit skeptical, but the guards obediently carried the bottle to the southeast corner.

But in an instant, the whirling leaves above the head gradually became still, and after a while, the wind picked up again, and then blowing along the southeast with a whistling.

The guards didn't stop, they sprinkled the powder into the wind, and there was a constant sound of sneezing from the other side of the wall.

Huo Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Xi: "Yes!" Xiao Huai gave him a contemptuous and smug smile.

He whispered again: "We have to hurry over, it won't take too long for them to react!"

The guard issued a signal on the wall, and then they quietly jumped into the gate of the garden, and then spotted a few people in the garden covering their faces and sneezing, and quickly passed by!
The guards of the palace are professionally trained. Although the people in Bi's mansion are far better than the guards outside, even those assassins back then are no match for the guards.

It's just that it's not appropriate to alarm them now, and they are better than having a lot of people.

After this, enter the courtyard and enter the main courtyard.

"Bi Shangyun didn't live in the main courtyard. The main courtyard is only used for hospitality. He lives in Ziyun hall in Dongkua courtyard." Huo Jiu said.Then it moved across the courtyard to the east.

Although there are sentries along this road, there are no dangers.

After entering the Purple Cloud Hall, the atmosphere is different. Most of the people who shuttle in the corridor are servant girls, only two or three long-term attendants, not even the women.

But the courtyard was neatly tidied up, with stones and flowers coexisting, it looked like the inner house of the Helian clan, Shen Xi couldn't help but slow down when he saw this.

"Could it be that Bi Shangyun is from Helian?"

She had never thought about his background carefully before. In the past, she might have subconsciously thought that he had killed so many Helian people and was an enemy of Prince Cheng's mansion, so no matter what his background was, he was not from her side.

But now seeing this situation, she couldn't help but face this matter squarely.

If Bi Shangyun is from Helian——

"Impossible." Xiao Huai decisively interrupted her conjecture, "The prince said that he is not a pure-blood from the three tribes."

In the past, Bi Shangyun fought with Li Ding, King Yan often saw him, if he said no, then he must not.

Then he is not a Helian, nor is he a pure-blooded Tuoba, so why did he help Li Ding destroy Qin?

More importantly, why did he turn his residence into a Helian-style courtyard?

He hates being a prince so much, could he be...

She suddenly had an idea, but right now she didn't have time to think about it. Someone came in front, Xiao Huai had already dragged her to sneak behind the rockery in the courtyard, and approached the bedroom in a detour.

Standing under the door were three maidservants who were talking, all of them moved swiftly and looked like they knew martial arts.

He is almost seventy years old, yet he still has so many maids by his side?Can you still know martial arts?
"who?!"

The guard lurking on the opposite side threw a stone to the outside of the wall, and the maidservants stopped talking suddenly, and quickly looked outside the door.

Huo Jiu didn't say anything else, he first sneaked to the porch, first watched the movement in the room, and then Xiao Huai jumped over here with Shen Xi on his arms, the door opened and closed in the blink of an eye, and they were all inside the room.

The guard who threw the stone had already sneaked in.

His behavior showed that everything in the house was normal.

"The chamber of secrets is in this room. Let's find a place that he can easily access every day."

They are experts in finding these things, so Shen Xi didn't want to make trouble, but instead looked at this spacious bedroom.
