Chapter 56 Are you still in the mood to play poker?
Chen Bing felt a sharp pain in his leg and was about to scream, but Shen Yue immediately took out a rag and blocked his mouth.
"Go and bandage yourself."
Then she sat down next to a shelf and closed her eyes.
"Call me when you're almost there. By the way, your leg isn't injured, but if you have other plans, I don't mind actually crippling it."
Paradise Island was not very close to Sifang City, and the boat that Chen Yue was on sailed for a whole night, and only reached its destination when the sky was almost dawn.
Taking advantage of the hazy fog, she changed into the servant's clothes in advance and followed Chen Bing ashore.
The guards of Pinxiang Villa were all tall and strong, with a fierce look between their brows. For some reason, Shen Yue felt that they were not like ordinary guards, but more like well-trained soldiers.
Seeing that Chen Bing was a stranger, the guard questioned him for a while longer, but seeing that he was really injured, he did not stop him too much.
So, Shen Yue entered Pinxiang Villa smoothly.
As soon as she entered the room, she threw the goods aside, grabbed Chen Bing and asked, "Where are the girls being held?"
Chen Bing shook his head like a rattle. "I'm just a delivery man, how would I know all this? But the girls will definitely show up at the Kaixiang banquet tonight."
"Nonsense!" Shen Yue turned her eyes away speechlessly.
Chen Bing could no longer be relied upon, so she had to look for him herself. Fortunately, she had a whole day, so searching through the hundred or so rooms wasn't a difficult task.
So she dodged and went into the nearby room.
The houses in Pinxiang Villa were arranged in a very regular pattern, and the guards had fixed patrol times, so it wasn't difficult to explore. However, Shen Yue searched for most of the day and couldn't find a place to lock people up.
Could it be that they locked people up in the area outside the villa?
It was afternoon, Shen Yue hid among the treetops and looked into the distance. Guests wearing masks were entering the villa one after another. She was really anxious this time.
Just as she was about to get down from the tree to explore again, several familiar figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the villa.
The leading man in black and his guards were all wearing masks, but Shen Yue recognized who they were at a glance.
Even though he lost his niece, he still had the mood to attend the incense-opening banquet. Xiao Yuheng is really a scoundrel!
Oops, that's not right.
Since she was able to find Pinxiang Villa through the pearl hairpin, Xiao Yuheng might also have been able to find it through other clues. Perhaps he had long suspected that Yongan was captured here, and while sending people to search everywhere in the city, he came here to try his luck.
While she was thinking, all the guests had arrived in the front hall. Shen Yue tapped her toes, leaped onto the roof, and lifted a tile with ease.
There were about twenty guests, all of whom wore masks. Judging from their clothes, they were either rich or noble.
Nine of them had pigtails, so they must be from Western Liao. Another six were dressed in colorful clothes, which looked like the style of Northern Chu. The remaining five were all wearing satin robes, and they were obviously from Qi.
Some of them looked weak and delicate, some looked strong and rough, and some had big bellies. Shen Yue couldn't help but pouting when she saw them, until her eyes fell on Xiao Yuheng, she showed a little smile.
Xiao Yuheng was wearing a dark-patterned black robe today. His black hair was half-tied up, and the soft hair lay quietly on his shoulders. His eyebrows and eyes under the mask were light and distant, and he looked indescribably elegant and noble.
After not seeing this handsome man for three days, Shen Yue really missed him. Just as she was about to take a few more glances at him, she saw a woman in her thirties, dressed in gorgeous clothes, enter the front hall.
The woman had her hair tied up high, with a golden hairpin inserted diagonally in her hair. Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes were like water, and she was beautiful.
The plumpness of her breasts trembled as she walked, and her waist swayed, and the Ruyi Yunyan skirt she wore also swayed with it, making the men present almost lose their minds.
Shen Yue deliberately glanced at Xiao Yuheng. Under the gorgeous mask, his eyes were as cold as ever. Everyone around him kept their eyes on the woman, but he had no intention of looking at them at all.
That woman is so beautiful and has such a great figure, but she still doesn't catch his eye? Then what kind of person does he like?
Before she could think about it, the woman had already walked to the main seat.
"Dear guests, nice to see you again. Oh no, it seems like this young man here is here for the first time!"
Her voice was sweet and tender, and as she spoke, she looked at Xiao Yuheng, and the guests' eyes also focused on him.
"Hey, Ye Sanniang, forget about him!" A Western Liao man shouted, "Now that everyone is here, don't wait any longer and start burning incense right away!"
The other men chimed in, "Yeah, no need to wait any longer, let's get started!"
"Hey~ Don't be anxious, distinguished guest!" Ye Sanniang said softly.
"The girls also need to bathe, change clothes, and dress up, right? Please go to the side rooms first to have some cakes and rest for a while. Once the girls are ready, the feast will naturally begin."
After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands lightly, and two rows of maids dressed in gorgeous clothes filed into the room and stood beside each man.
Ye Sanniang raised her eyebrows and said, "Take the guests back to their rooms to satisfy their cravings first. Remember not to go too far~"
"yes."
After the maids bowed, they began to stick to the men. The men were happy to accept it and took them into the room one after another.
Seeing that Xiao Yuheng didn't move, the maidservant beside him leaned over and was about to pounce on him, but he stood up lightly and dodged without a trace.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile on his lips, "Miss, why are you so anxious? Let's go back to the room first, and it won't be too late to get intimate later."
Seeing his gentle and elegant appearance, the maid immediately looked shy and said, "Yes, sir, please come in."
Shen Yue on the roof witnessed everything and couldn't help but exclaimed "Tsk".
Men really accept anyone who comes to them, and Xiao Yuheng is no exception.
She put the tile back in its place, flew down from the roof angrily, walked across the corridor, and came behind a rockery.
"I'm helping you find your niece, and you're still in the mood to play poker? Xiao Yuheng, you're really awesome!"
Shen Yue was so angry that her cheeks turned red and she kicked the rockery.
It didn't matter that she kicked it, she actually discovered that the rockery was hollow!
No wonder she couldn't find the place where the person was imprisoned after searching for so long. It turned out that Ye Sanniang had set up a secret room and a secret passage under the rockery. She was so cunning.
Shen Yue fumbled around near the rockery and finally found a knob under the rubble. She couldn't wait to turn the knob, and sure enough, a secret door appeared on the rockery.
Behind the secret door is a narrow passage that leads along a winding staircase into the depths of darkness.
Without thinking, she took out a fire starter from her waist and blew it, then entered the secret passage with the faint flame until she arrived at a spacious stone chamber.
The place is very clean. In addition to a rosewood step-out bed, it is fully equipped with cabinets, dressing tables, and storage boxes. It looks more like a place for people to live than a place to imprison people.
"Damn it, I found the wrong one again."
Shen Yue stamped her feet in anger and was about to leave when suddenly, a barely audible sound of footsteps came from the secret passage.
Her heart tightened, and she immediately extinguished the fire and went to the corner to be on guard.
When the person came closer, she suddenly drew out the Hanyue dagger and stabbed him.
But the person who came had anticipated this and grabbed her wrist, twisted it behind her back, then turned around and covered her mouth from behind.
A clear and pleasant familiar male voice came from above: "Chen Er, don't move."
