Chapter 877: Confrontation in secret
Gu Paner just followed the madam and left.
In fact, it’s not that Wei Changtian is “heartless”, but that he doesn’t know about this at all.
Because not long after the three madams entered Gu Pan'er's room, Zhang San sent a message saying that he had brought Li Zimu to the compound where the four people from the Jiuzhen Sect lived, ready to interrogate the two second-rank assassins.
Of course Wei Changtian had to keep an eye on them to see if anyone was following Li Zimu, so he quietly left the inn.
As for why they didn't do it, it was just to conceal their tracks.
Unexpectedly, Gu Paner mistakenly thought that he was still in the room, and he even had a psychological struggle because of this.
If Wei Changtian had left a little later, or if the madam had come a little earlier, Gu Paner probably would not have been taken away.
And now it just happens to be such a coincidence. It can only be said that it is a trick of fate.
The other side.
"Gurgle"
The clear sound of wheels pierced the night, and a black carriage slowly stopped outside the gate of the courtyard.
Soon, Li Zimu, wearing a cloak, got out of the car, walked to the door, looked around, and then reached out and knocked on the copper ring on the door.
The door opened a crack, and the person inside asked a few questions, then stepped aside to welcome her into the yard.
As the tall gate of the mansion slowly closed, the surroundings returned to peace.
“.”
Hiding in an alley not far away, Wei Changtian watched all this silently, while also observing the situation nearby.
There is no doubt that if the mysterious man is really monitoring him, then there must be his people around here now.
After looking for a long time, Wei Changtian didn't find anything unusual.
There wasn't even a single passerby.
how?
Was it because he had just "disappeared" for a while and hadn't attracted the attention of the mysterious person? Or was it because the anti-detection awareness of the person monitoring him was too strong and he didn't notice it?
Frowning, Wei Changtian's eyes fell on Zhang San who was tying the reins, and then he glanced at several street corners nearby.
There are only a few places where you can see the gate of the mansion.
Since there is no one here now, could it be that he is inside the mansion? After thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian left the spot in a flash, turning into a black shadow and heading straight to the other side of the compound.
"Miss Li, I've heard a lot about you."
There is an underground secret passage inside the compound.
Just when Wei Changtian was about to sneak into the courtyard to look for any suspicious people, Li Zimu had already seen the four people from the Jiuzhen Sect.
Five people were walking in the secret passage, with torches burning on the stone walls beside them.
Although they had heard of Li Zimu's name a long time ago, the four of them had never imagined that the first military advisor beside Wei Changtian was so young.
However, they did not look down on Li Zimu because of this, and there was even a hint of admiration in their words.
After all, Wei Changtian is not stupid. If Li Zimu didn't have real skills, how could he use such a young woman. "I have heard that the young lady has unparalleled strategies and the ability to read minds. I believe that you will be able to pry open the mouths of the two thieves today."
Walking in front of Li Zimu, the old man in yellow said with a smile: "When you brought the two here at noon, they were both seriously injured, but now we have simply treated their injuries."
"By the way, does the girl need any torture instruments?"
"I have prepared some in advance, but I don't know if the girl will find it easy to use."
As if he wanted to get closer to Li Zimu, the old man in yellow had a kind smile on his face and spoke very politely.
But Li Zimu's expression did not change. He just answered the questions calmly without saying a word more.
After this conversation, the old man in yellow couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed about being treated coldly.
Fortunately, they had already walked to the outside of a secret room at this time, so he said no more, but took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve and opened the heavy locks on the door.
“Clang!”
The iron chain fell to the ground, the door opened, and the scene in the room came into Li Zimu's sight.
Two men covered in blood were tied to an iron frame, with a dark red bloodstain on the sole of each foot.
Although the two men were no longer bleeding, they both had their heads down and were motionless, looking like they were dying.
Li Zimu carefully looked the two up and down, then said softly: "Put the man down, and then you can go out."
"this"
The old man in yellow was startled, and reminded with some concern: "Miss Li, these two are both second-grade masters."
"Although they were seriously injured and their meridians were sealed by us, if they have any other tricks, you may not be able to deal with them then."
"If anything happens to you, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain to Master Wei, so."
"That's not necessary."
Before the old man in yellow finished speaking, Li Zimu interrupted with certainty, "Elder Liu, I don't like to have other people present when I ask questions, even the young master is no exception."
"If something does happen, it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about the Master punishing you."
".Okay then."
Li Zimu had already said this, so the old man in yellow naturally couldn't insist any further.
He stepped forward and untied the chains that bound the two assassins, left a dagger for Li Zimu to defend himself, and then left the secret room with the other three.
Just like that, the secret room soon returned to silence, with only three breathing sounds, one strong and two weak, echoing faintly.
Faced with two people lying unconscious on the ground, seemingly dying soon, the first thing Li Zimu had to do now seemed to be to wake them up.
After all, no matter how capable she was, it was impossible for her to get anything out of two unconscious people.
But "Do you two still want to continue pretending?"
With a sneer, Li Zimu slowly walked up to the two of them, lowered his head and said calmly: "I will only give you one chance."
"If you don't open your eyes within three breaths, I will leave immediately."
"And you can go to see the King of Hell right away."
“.”
"clatter"
The night is as dark as ink, and the night insects are chirping softly.
When Li Zimu had already begun to formally "interrogate" the two second-rank assassins, Wei Changtian had also quietly sneaked into the compound.
Standing in a remote garden in the north of the palace, he first raised his eyes to observe the surroundings, and then looked at the few lights in the distance.
That was the only place with light in the entire mansion, and it was probably where Li Zimu was now.
Of course, Wei Changtian naturally understood that the two assassins would definitely not be imprisoned in an ordinary room, but most likely in an underground secret room or something like that.
But the entrance to the secret room should be nearby.
And this also means that if there is really someone monitoring this place, they should be there at this time. "Swish!"
The figure blended into the darkness. Wei Changtian did not hesitate. After making up his mind, he immediately sneaked towards the light.
As he got closer and closer to the bright lights, a strange feeling became stronger and stronger.
To be more precise, Wei Changtian seemed to feel a very familiar yet somewhat strange aura.
Wei Changtian could be sure that this aura came from something he had seen before, or even many times.
But they are not exactly the same.
What on earth was it? With his brows furrowed, Wei Changtian had a series of guesses running through his mind.
Then, at a certain moment, his eyes suddenly froze, as if a muffled thunder had exploded in his mind.
Shit! It’s a lucky beast!!
