Chapter 270 Borrowing Grain from Zhang Mansion's Villa



Su Qi walked lightly to Gu Beiheng and touched his chest. "Beiheng, Military Advisor Mo and you have a very good relationship."

Gu Beiheng embraced Su Qi, resting his chin on her hair. A magnetic voice echoed above Su Qi's head, "Military Advisor Mo and I are more like brothers. I know he has a past that he can't talk about. But I've never asked, and yet I trust him inexplicably."

It's more about trusting each other.

Su Qi only remembered that all the people around Gu Beiheng were dead.

It’s great that these people are alive now.

The two planned what to do next.

Gu Beiheng glanced at the fiery red clouds outside the window and knew that it was almost time.

"Let's go out for a walk first. We'll eat when we come back."

Su Qi's eyebrows moved, and she crawled out of Gu Beiheng's arms. "Do you know the approximate location?"

"Yes. To the southeast is Zhang Shuishan's villa. Going up the steepest hill is the hot spring villa of the old prince Rongshan. I see that the owner of the Zhang Mansion's villa is not here at the moment."

Su Qi saw that there was not much food in their hot spring villa.

You can go to the next door to borrow food.

Zhang Shuishan is not a good person anyway.

He's just a dog serving Prince Rongshan.

"Okay. Let's go to the Zhang family's villa to borrow some food first. Then we'll go to the old prince Rongshan's villa at night. After all, they'll do bad things at night."

The two of them did what they said.

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng walked out of the courtyard, holding hands. The servants were surprised to see that the couple and their children were still so affectionate. Usually, men of this age like the younger ones.

It's just respect for the eldest wife.

There is nothing like the two of them holding hands, their eyes fixed on each other.

Bai Zhi followed up with a cloak, draped it over Su Qi, and fastened it.

"Ma'am, where are you going?"

"You take care of Dabao and Erbao. Beiheng and I will go for a walk and come back for dinner when it's late."

"Yes." Bai Zhi bowed and walked to the side.

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng walked out of the yard and headed towards the back. After walking for a while, Gu Beiheng put his arm around Su Qi's waist and flew over to the side.

On the plum blossoms.

Two figures passed by quickly.

There is a bamboo forest not far away.

There is a large pond next to it, and there is also a pavilion inside. It is clear that Prince Jing spent a lot of money here.

Gu Beiheng took Su Qi in his arms and came to the vicinity of Zhang Shuishan Villa. The two villas were separated by a small stream.

On this side of the stream was where Su Qi and his group were, with bamboo forests planted along the stream, while on the other side were dwarf bushes.

Su Qi looked at it and felt that it was not safe.

"Beiheng, we need to plant a thorn forest here. The area should be larger so that the enemy won't have a place to stay." Su Qi was not worried about martial arts masters. This thing was not meant to defend against martial arts masters.

Can't be prevented.

There weren't that many martial arts masters, and the normal guards were about the same as the palace soldiers. It was a sure thing to prevent these people from invading.

Gu Beiheng nodded and looked down to see what was happening below.

Gu Beiheng took a look at the house in the plum forest. It seemed that in addition to plum blossoms, some trees should be planted around the house to block other people's surveillance.

He took out his clairvoyance.

I looked at my own yard first, and could clearly see Dabao and Erbao climbing trees.

Little Erbao lost his balance and fell on his back.

He staggered to his feet, kicked Meihua a few times, and spat to show his dissatisfaction.

Looking at Zhang Shuishan's villa next door, there is a two-story house surrounded by green trees.

The yard is very big, unlike Su Qi and her friends' place which only has two courtyards.

This seems to be a four-courtyard area.

There were many maids and servants walking back and forth doing their work.

"Qiqi, let's change our clothes and go in."

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng changed their clothes and flew quickly towards Zhang Shuishan's villa.

With the help of trees as a foothold, Gu Beiheng moved very fast.

Su Qi only felt the sound of wind in her ears.

It won't take a moment.

Came to the villa.

The courtyard is guarded by palace soldiers.

Su Qi took advantage of the space to avoid the patrol of the palace soldiers. It must be said that there are really a lot of palace soldiers here.

There are so many palace soldiers in a villa.

It is hard to imagine that there are several dormitory-like buildings in Zhang Shuishan’s villa, which are probably the residences of the palace soldiers.

Gu Beiheng took out the master key. Ever since he learned Su Qi's lock-picking method, he was the one who could open the lock.

After fiddling with it gently, the door lock opened.

The two of them slipped into the warehouse.

The patrol outside arrived here again. Someone came over to see that the door was unlocked and asked, "Why is the door not locked?"

"Just now, Steward Zhang came to put something in. He said something happened to Young Master Zhang. They were in such a hurry to get back. Maybe they left the door unlocked?"

The leader pondered for a while.

"Go in and take a look."

A few people pushed open the door. The huge warehouse was filled with items and food.

"No one."

Several people retreated and locked the door.

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng came out of the space.

Young Master Zhang was also hit in the chest by a crossbow arrow, but his position was slightly off and he did not die on the spot. What Gu Beiheng hated most was the person who attacked Su Qi.

Those people are unforgivable.

He sneered as he heard the guards talking about the Zhang Mansion. Princess Jing's image flashed through his mind. It seemed this woman couldn't be kept.

Su Qi took action to collect all the valuables in the warehouse.

Most of them are tables, chairs and benches, but they are all made of fine rosewood. The carving is also excellent.

There are many nourishing herbs such as ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Dendrobium, and Anoectochilus roxburghii.

There are many supplements such as bird's nest and fish maw.

Then there is food.

Su Qi put them all into the space.

After finishing up here with Gu Beiheng, we went into the main courtyard.

He went to the master bedroom and study in the main courtyard to check. He also searched all the gold, silver and jewelry in the private vault, but found nothing.

Finished things here.

The two of them left the main courtyard.

At this time.

Suddenly, a yard next door caught fire.

Someone shouted, "The water's breaking."

Some people also shouted "Catch the thief."

Su Qi was shocked. Could it be that they were discovered?

Gu Beiheng took Su Qi in his arms and quickly left.

The two reached a higher point and saw a fight going on below. Someone would surely investigate if they discovered the burglary, so they decided to head back.

"Let's go to Rongshan after dinner."

"Let's wait until the people from Zhang Shuishan's house have searched first." Su Qi said after thinking for a while.

"We just came here today. I don't know if the neighbors would come to search if it were someone else, but we should know tomorrow." Gu Beiheng's meaning was very clear.

The people in Zhang's mansion did not dare to disturb Prince Jing's mansion, and would send a notice to question them tomorrow.

By then, they will know that the master has changed, and they will naturally bring people in to search.

The two returned to the main courtyard, where a sign of Qingfeng Courtyard was already hung at the gate.

Each of Gu Beiheng's main courtyards would have a sign that read "Qingfeng Courtyard." The same sign read "Qingfeng Courtyard" in the courtyards in the capital.

Hu Yang and Hu Zhou have already prepared a table of dishes.

Su Qi, Gu Beiheng, Dabao and Erbao were having dinner, while Xianghe was waiting on them.

Dabao and Erbao always eat by themselves and don’t need anyone to take care of them.

Only Xiang He picked up some food from a plate farther away and placed it on theirs. "Madam, when I went to buy some fabric, I heard that Jinyang Prefecture had begun a curfew."

"Because the prefect's son died?" Su Qi always felt that it was unlikely that the death of a bastard would cause such a big fuss.

Young Master Zhang would be the first to object.

"No. They said it was about the Xuefeng Temple incident and something happened at the Rongshan Palace. It was so mysterious that I didn't hear the real truth."
