Chapter 140 The Secret of the Private Residence
In the sight not far ahead, a woman wearing a bamboo hat and a long green gown appeared.
She was dressed like a woman from the rivers and lakes, and her temperament was extraordinary.
Although I couldn't see her appearance, I could still feel the woman's innate temperament from afar.
She was dressed in a green tight suit, tall and slender, holding a long sword, and she was particularly cool in this quiet and desolate world.
"Sister Zhiyuan?!"
In the haystack not far away, Lin Qingqing's eyes widened in vain, and a look of surprise emerged.
Although she didn't see the woman's appearance under the bamboo hat, she still recognized the identity of the woman in the bamboo hat at a glance.
She had been following Zhiyuan for many years, how could she not tell?
This is Sister Zhiyuan!
How could she be here? !
After Lin Qingqing's surprise, she was shocked.
Sister Zhiyuan, why did she appear here?
And Lin Jiangnian quietly watched the woman in the bamboo hat not far ahead. Although she changed her clothes, it was different from the past in the Linwang Mansion.
In the past, when she was in the Linwang Mansion, Zhiyuan didn't look like a maid, but she was restrained after all. The current Zhiyuan, however, can't see much of the temperament of the past. Like a female hero in the rivers and lakes, she is so cold and beautiful that people feel that she is beyond their reach.
"Is it really so?"
Lin Jiangnian quickly understood something.
The purpose of Zhiyuan releasing Wang Qin might be here.
In the sight, the woman in the bamboo hat appeared on the flat ground, looking up and quietly staring at the private house in front.
At the same time, the guards near the private house also noticed her presence at the first time.
This area is deserted and rarely seen. On weekdays, a woman suddenly appeared, and it is clear that she is not a good person.
In a moment, several figures approached silently.
The murderous aura was filled.
"Who is making trouble here?!"
A general in armor appeared in front of the woman in the bamboo hat, with vigilant eyes and cold tone staring at her: "Leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
The woman in the bamboo hat didn't speak, but just lowered her head slightly, and then raised her left hand slightly.
In her left hand, she was holding a sword.
A green sword, with strange patterns on the sword body, light and full of coldness.
Seeing this scene, the pupils of the leading armored general shrank, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
The next second, a cold light suddenly flashed.
The green sword in the hand of the woman in the bamboo hat was unsheathed, and the cold air was instantly rampant. The cold air stung the face of the armored general. His expression suddenly changed, and he realized that this woman was looking for trouble.
"Catch her!"
As soon as the voice fell, several figures around him rushed over directly.
But the next second, the cold air spread instantly.
I saw a cold light flash in the air, like a sword splitting a fallen leaf.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, accompanied by a sword sound.
The several figures who had just approached died in this violent cold air, and some people didn't even have time to scream, and they lost their lives on the spot.
The rest of the people fell to the ground with screams, and some were even blown away by the cold air.
The air was filled with the smell of dead leaves.
At the same time, the woman in the bamboo hat standing on the spot suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the private house behind her like a meteor.
The armored general had just barely endured the power of the cold air when he saw the woman heading straight for the private house behind him, and his eyes were immediately horrified!
This woman's martial arts are unfathomable!
If she were allowed to break in...
The consequences would be disastrous.
"Stop her!!"
He roared in a low voice.
At the same time, the figure hidden in the darkness outside the private house finally realized that something was wrong.
This uninvited guest has extremely strong martial arts!
"Swish swish swish!"
Then several figures appeared and blocked the woman in the bamboo hat. They all had strong auras and good martial arts.
However, the woman in the bamboo hat did not retreat at all. She held the green sword in her hand and faced the countless figures chasing behind her and the several masters blocking in front of her without any fear.
She raised the sword and swung it across the sky.
Cut it down!
This sword instantly changed the faces of the several figures blocking in front of her.
The majestic aura fell down!
There was almost no chance for them to react.
"Boom!"
The sword fell, and the woman in the bamboo hat was empty in front of her.
A long horizontal crack appeared on the ground not far away. Several figures fell beside her, spitting blood, looking pale, looking at the woman in the bamboo hat with a cold and elegant temperament in front of them in disbelief.
"Three, three-rank Daodao?!"
"At this age, why is his martial arts so profound?!"
"No, it's impossible. How can a three-rank Daodao have such strength?!"
"What kind of swordsmanship is this, and why is it so powerful?!"
"..."
Everyone's eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. After a brief fight, they felt the unfathomable martial arts strength of the young female knight in front of them. Under such terrifying strength, they were easily swept away like withered withered wood and rotten wood.
The woman in the bamboo hat still said nothing, raised her eyes to look at these people, raised her sword, and disappeared from the spot and fell into the private house.
...
Outside the private house.
Lin Jiangnian and Lin Qingqing, who were not far away, saw this scene and were a little dazed.
Lin Qingqing's expression was full of surprise and envy, and she murmured: "Sister Zhiyuan's martial arts have improved a lot."
Lin Jiangnian's mood was a little complicated.
He saw this scene just now, and he was happy and sighed.
What made him happy was that Zhiyuan's martial arts strength was far beyond his expectations.
Those people hiding outside the private house are not weak in martial arts, and they can be regarded as respectable masters outside. But under Zhiyuan's sword, he couldn't even resist a single move.
Although Zhiyuan did not retain her strength and could kill with one strike, it was enough to show the depth of her current martial arts.
But the swordsmanship she used just now felt a little strange and unexpected to Lin Jiangnian. Logically speaking, Senior Li is Zhiyuan's master, and the swordsmanship she learned should have been taught by Senior Li. Lin Jiangnian studied with Senior Li in Ruyi Building before, and he could be regarded as half of Senior Li's apprentice.
Senior Li taught Lin Jiangnian all his swordsmanship, but now, although the swordsmanship displayed by Zhiyuan has some shadows of Senior Li, it is very unfamiliar to Lin Jiangnian.
What kind of swordsmanship is this?
Where did she learn that?
And the strength shown by Zhiyuan just now. She was in sharp contrast to the obedient and rebellious maid in Prince Lin's Mansion.
Lin Jiangnian felt very complicated.
Before coming, he had thought that when he saw Zhi Yuan, he would surpass her in martial arts and make this disobedient little maid call her master.
Looking at it now...
The gap is too big!
Lin Jiangnian sighed deeply. When could he catch up with her?
When can I suppress this little maid openly and honestly?
Let her call her master obediently?
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Qingqing on the side saw that His Highness had a strange expression.
"fine!"
Lin Jiang young shook his head lightly and looked up to see that there was already chaos in front of him.
Zhiyuan forcefully broke into the private house, causing chaos inside and outside. The guards near the private house and the masters hiding in the dark were dispatched to hunt for her whereabouts.
"Good opportunity!"
Lin Jiangnian's eyes lit up: "Let's go!"
"Where to go?"
"Go in and take a look!"
In the situation just now, Lin Jiangnian and Lin Qingqing naturally had no chance to break in. But now that Zhi Yuan has made such a fuss, the outside of the private house is disrupted, and some of the masters hiding in the dark have been severely injured by Zhi Yuan, while others are busy catching Zhi Yuan. At this moment, the middle door of the private house is wide open.
What a great opportunity!
Lin Jiangnian made a prompt decision and led Lin Qingqing to get closer. As soon as he got close to the private house, he was quickly discovered.
"Who?"
"Force it!"
Lin Jiangnian made up his mind, jumped up, climbed over and broke into the private house. Lin Qingqing followed closely behind, and the two stepped into the private house and got rid of the pursuers behind them.
Not far away, you can also hear the chaotic footsteps in the private house, as well as the sounds of shouting to capture the assassin.
Obviously, the intrusion of Zhiyuan and Lin Jiangnian had also alerted the guards.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Lin Qingqing asked while looking around cautiously.
"Wang Qin and Wang Changjin appeared here at the same time, which means there is probably something wrong here. I'm afraid they have an ulterior secret when they meet here..."
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "As soon as Wang Qin and Wang Changjin arrived, the kite came with its back legs, which proves this point..."
"If you try to find some way, you should be able to find out some secrets."
Lin Qingqing looked around and hesitated, "But, how can I find this?"
This private house is not too small. If you keep looking for a needle in a haystack without any clue, you don't know when you will find it.
"Catch someone and ask."
Lin Jiangnian said, the people in this private residence should know something.
When Lin Qingqing heard this, she immediately turned around and left. When Lin Qingqing returned, she was holding a frightened maid in her hand, looking at the two people in the courtyard in horror.
So fast?
While Lin Jiangnian was stunned, Lin Qingqing threw the maid on the ground and asked expressionlessly: "Where is this?"
The maid looked horrified: "Who are you?!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a silver dagger appeared on the maid's neck, full of murderous intent.
"If you dare to be dishonest, I'll kill you!"
The maid trembled all over, her face was horrified, and she quickly begged for mercy: "Don't, don't kill me, I, I said..."
"Where is this?"
Lin Qingqing spoke expressionlessly.
"I, I don't know either..."
The maid was startled when she saw Lin Qingqing's cold eyes, and stammered quickly: "I, I just work in the house, no, I don't know where this is..."
"have no idea?"
Lin Qingqing frowned, and when she was about to ask something, Lin Jiangnian beside her said, "Who is your master?"
"Yes, it's Mr. Wang!"
"Which Mr. Wang?"
"Xun, the younger brother of Prefect Xunyang, Wang Changjin, Mr. Wang..."
"..."
That’s right!
From the maid's words, it was confirmed that the owner of this place was Wang Changjin.
But the question arises again, why does Wang Changjin have a private house in this desolate place?
Why are there so many experts guarding the outside of a private house?
What secrets are hidden in this private house?
However, when Lin Jiangnian asked, the maid didn't know anything about it. She is just a maid in this house, responsible for serving the people in the house, and she doesn't know what is wrong with the house.
After careful interrogation, Lin Qingqing was sure that the maid was not lying, and she became increasingly doubtful.
No problem?
It shouldn’t be!
Could it be that Wang Changjin really had nothing to do and built a house here?
Hire a group of master guards to stand guard at the door?
Obviously impossible!
Not getting anything useful from the maid, Lin Qingqing went to arrest several servants of the house, but the results were surprisingly consistent.
They also had no idea there was any problem in the house.
Just as Lin Jiangnian frowned and thought about the reason, the servant who was finally captured accidentally revealed a secret.
"Old, Master, he rarely comes here, usually only once every few months. And, every time someone else comes, us servants will be herded into a room and locked up..."
Lin Jiangnian was keenly aware of the problem in this person's words: "Someone else? Who is it?"
"No, I don't know, I, we haven't met..."
"What did your master do every time he was in the house?"
"No, I don't know..."
The servant was trembling with fear. When he saw Lin Jiangnian's expressionless eyes, he trembled: "No, but I know that I will go to the back mountain every time..."
"Back mountain?!"
Lin Jiangnian stared at this servant: "What's in the back mountain?"
"No, I don't know. We are just servants. The back mountain is heavily guarded. We servants are not qualified to get close..."
"Where is the back mountain?" Lin Jiangnian asked immediately.
The servant was trembling: "Right, right over there..."
As soon as the servant finished speaking, he fainted on the spot.
Lin Jiangnian put away his hands and stood up: "Let's go to the back mountain."
Lin Qingqing's face showed some worry, but seeing His Highness moving forward, she still followed him.
At this time, it was getting late and night was gradually falling.
When Lin Jiangnian arrived at the foot of the back mountain, he saw chaos in the back mountain.
On the ground not far away, there were countless wailing figures lying down, and the scene was too horrible to watch.
"This is……"
When Lin Qingqing saw this scene, she suddenly realized something: "Sister Zhiyuan has been here?!"
"Should have gone in already!"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and said, "Let's go in and take a look!"
He originally thought that it would take a lot of effort, but he didn't expect that Zhiyuan had already solved all the obstacles in front of him, and Lin Jiangnian was able to move freely.
The two of them broke into the back mountain easily. Along the way, many figures could be seen lying in a pool of blood, all of whom had their throats sealed with a sword. They looked shocking.
The smell of blood in the air made Lin Jiangnian frown slightly.
"It's really a bit reckless for her to come in alone." Lin Jiangnian said.
Lin Qingqing on the side didn't say anything. Didn't His Highness just barge in with her?
Half a catty.
The two of them followed along the back mountain and soon found the entrance to a secret room at the foot of the back mountain.
The entrance to the secret room was wide open, and there was no one around.
"Secret room?"
"Could it be a scam?"
Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment, then stepped forward: "Let's go in and have a look!"
Stepping into the secret room, it was a quiet and dark room, empty, with flickering lights hanging on the walls.
As we get closer, it gets darker and darker.
Lin Jiangnian's eyes were solemn.
"There's a problem."
"Why did Wang Changjin dig a secret room in the back of this private house?"
"What is his purpose after spending so much time?!"
When Lin Qingqing saw this scene, her heart gradually became solemn. Yes, what is the purpose of going to such trouble?
What does Wang Changjin want to do?
What does the Wang family want to do?
…
