Chapter 154 Since We're Here
His question made Yun Zhao realize what was going on.
yes.
The point isn't what Yuan Shijie and Yuan Shuchang will say; it's simply that Yuan Shuchang wants to extract information, while Yuan Shijie wants to save his life.
The Lord they speak of is the origin of this matter.
A person they would kill court officials to protect.
Yun Zhao calculated the time and his expression immediately changed.
There really is such a person.
"Fifth Imperial Uncle, the Prince of Yue, his birthday is the fifth day of next month."
It's the Fifth Prince again.
"Brother Jingchen, do you think that my Fifth Imperial Uncle also has that kind of fetish?"
Yun Zhao gasped in shock.
Her fifth uncle's wife is the daughter of the great writer Shu Mobai, and her maternal grandfather is Luo Zicheng!
If Shu Mobai found out that the Fifth Prince had such a fetish, his reputation would be ruined, and he would never have the chance to become emperor again!
"Let's go see what Yuan Shijie has to say!"
Wei Jingchen led her to follow Yuan Shuchang.
To his surprise, Yuan Shuchang only locked Yuan Shijie in the backyard.
There wasn't even a single guard.
He wasn't worried that anyone would assassinate Yuan Shijie, or that Yuan Shijie would cause any trouble.
Or does he have another purpose?
With that thought in mind, Wei Jingchen stopped walking.
Just as Yun Zhao was wondering, Wei Jingchen suddenly spoke up: "Zhao Zhao, could you look for those birds over there?"
"Send it to check the neighborhood to see if anyone or anything is hiding there."
Yun Zhao immediately understood and took out a bone flute from the small pocket on his chest.
Wei Jingchen was startled.
"It's not about summoning tigers!"
There's no need to go to the point of shouting "tiger!"
"Hehe, this can summon more than just tigers!"
Yun Zhao mysteriously played the bone flute.
This time the sound was different from the previous ones, but it was very similar to birdsong!
Sure enough, the bird that had been chirping softly just moments before suddenly let out a few excited cries.
Yun Zhao blew the bone flute again, and the bird hidden in the tree flapped its wings and left the tree.
Wei Jingchen watched in surprise as the bird circled once above the backyard.
Yun Zhao reached out her hand, and the bird obediently landed on her arm.
"Oh? Really? Thank you, little bird, that was so dangerous!"
Wei Jingchen didn't know where she got the little fruit from, but he watched as she took the little fruit out of her pocket and handed it to the bird.
"Thank you, little bird. Goodbye, little bird!"
The little bird happily nuzzled her hand, picked up the small fruit, and flew away.
Wei Jingchen: ...
God knows how he saw the word "happy" on a bird's face.
"Brother Jingchen, the little bird said there are two big, very fierce dogs chained up in that yard!"
There are vicious dogs inside.
No wonder no one was sent to guard it.
"Luckily we didn't rush over there, otherwise we would have alerted them."
"Brother Jingchen, what should we do next?"
Wei Jingchen pondered for a moment and asked, "I should be able to hide myself if I go alone. You wait for me in the tree when I come back, okay?"
Should we split up and act separately?
That's great!
"Brother Jingchen, I'll hide here and wait for you! I'm scared to be alone in the tree!"
Wei Jingchen hesitated for a moment, but then he heard Yun Zhao say, "It's decided then."
With my small arms and legs, I might make some noise while I'm up in the tree.
"Brother Jingchen, hurry up, or they'll finish their conversation soon!"
"Okay, then you'd better hide it well!"
After saying that, Wei Jingchen turned and left.
Watching him walk away, Yun Zhao immediately called the bird back.
"Would you take me to find some silver?"
Yun Zhao took out a silver ingot from his spatial storage and waved it in front of the little bird.
"It's this kind of shiny thing~"
The little bird tilted its head, as if it were thinking about something.
Then it flapped its wings and flew off Yun Zhao's arm.
With no one around, Yun Zhao quietly followed the little bird.
With the help of birds flying high in the air, Yun Zhao evaded the patrol and arrived at the outside of a dilapidated house.
"It's hidden in here?"
Do you think that the most dangerous place is the safest place?
Then the bird flew back and told her that there were vicious dogs guarding the area.
Tsk, does Prefect Yuan really like keeping dogs?
Yun Zhao thought for a moment, took out a chicken from his spatial storage, and quietly walked to the dog's vicinity.
"Shh, big dog, do you want something to eat?"
She waved the chicken in her hand, and the vicious dog guarding the gate paused, baring its teeth at her.
"I mean you no harm. It's pitiful that you're tied up here. I'll let you go, and you can escape quietly, okay?"
Upon hearing that she was going to let him go, the big dog immediately closed his mouth and started wagging his tail.
"I know you're a good dog, I'm letting you go, but you can't bite people like that again!"
Yun Zhao placed the chicken in front of it, and the big black dog sniffed it before devouring it.
"Tsk, how long have they starved you? It's outrageous! They've been starving you so you'd bite anyone you see!"
Yun Zhao frowned somewhat unhappily and squatted down beside it, watching it finish eating both chickens.
It was a very obedient and loyal big black dog, but these people deliberately starved it.
Is your brother this well-behaved too?
The big black dog shook its head, its tail drooping down.
"Ah, so you were too well-behaved, that's why you were made to guard the door while starving?"
But you're so big, when you get hungry you're really scary!
Yun Zhao loosened its rope, and the big black dog immediately started circling happily around her.
"You promised me you wouldn't bite before I'd let you go~ Now you can leave~"
The big black dog, however, clung to her excitedly, unwilling to leave.
"You want to come with me? No way! I've got a big tiger on my back, you'll be scared!"
Upon hearing this, the big black dog immediately drooped its ears in fear.
"I took a shower today, so you probably can't smell the tiger on me. Now go away, don't let bad guys take advantage of you anymore!"
Yun Zhao patted the big black dog's head, then turned and went into the house.
The house had been cleaned, and the furnishings were very simple.
With Yun Zhao's abilities, he really couldn't find the secret room.
She tried to sense the space directly and soon discovered a dark room in a corner below.
There were several large boxes inside, and the boxes were full of gold and silver jewelry!
Good heavens, what kind of business are they in? Just the birthday gifts they're giving her Fifth Imperial Uncle are worth so much.
Yun Zhao put all these things into his spatial storage, making sure there was nothing else there, before leaving the courtyard.
"Since you're already here, little bird, do you know where else in this mansion you can find these shiny things?"
And so, the little bird helped Yun Zhao safely evade the patrol.
Using spatial teleportation, they emptied the entire Yuan Mansion!
When Wei Jingchen returned to his previous spot, he didn't find Yun Zhao and immediately panicked.
Could this little girl have been arrested so quietly?
Yun Zhao rushed back as fast as she could, only to find Wei Jingchen searching for her everywhere.
A thought suddenly struck her, and the artificial hill squatting by the pond waved to him.
"Brother Jingchen, over here!"
