The frightened soldier nodded vigorously to show that he understood.
Huo Jingxuan signaled to An Yi to remove the cloth covering the soldier's mouth.
As soon as the soldier's mouth was freed, blood popped out like popping beans.
"Don't worry, gentlemen. I know the current situation very well and I am most afraid of death.
I will tell you everything I know, without reservation.
If you need me to do anything, just tell me. Don't be polite to me."
With a snap, An put the knife to the soldier's neck again.
"Are you looking for death? Just answer whatever I ask you.
When no one asks you, just keep your mouth shut.
Otherwise, I don't mind giving you a hand and helping you shut up, forever."
This trick worked, and the soldier immediately shut his mouth tightly.
She even pursed her lips tightly, fearing that if An Yi was even the slightest bit dissatisfied, she would kill him immediately.
Seeing that the soldier had completely calmed down, Huo Jingxuan continued, "There are a lot of traps and mechanisms set up in the Regent's mansion now, right?"
The soldier first looked at An Yi, and then got the signal from him that he could speak.
He blurted out, "How did you know?"
"What do you think?" Huo Jingxuan asked.
"How would I know? If I knew, why would I ask you?" the soldier replied casually.
Huo Jingxuan looked at the soldier as if he were a fool, "They say a lazy donkey will produce a lot of shit and piss, but I see that you not only produce a lot of shit and piss, but you also talk a lot of nonsense.
You are really useless, An Yi, just kill me!"
"No, no, no, my lord, my master, my lord.
I know where the mechanisms and traps are in the mansion. I know them all.
I will take you around and straight to your destination."
Seeing An Yiba put down the knife again, the soldier breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, those big, cunning eyes turned around and looked at everyone one by one.
He said: “But I think you’ve been working in vain.
Because my master, the regent, has run away.
I guess he has already run eight miles away, and now no one knows where he has gone, not even us.”
Sure enough, the soldier was beaten again.
An Yi was puzzled as to how he could catch such a chatterbox today.
He was very cruel and slapped the soldier on the mouth.
He lost four or five teeth and his mouth was full of blood.
This time, the soldier was finally made to behave himself.
Just ask a question and answer it, and don't talk too much.
On the way, he bypassed the bamboo forest with poisonous snakes, passed through the animal traps, the poison arrow array, and the ambush circle of masters, and directly arrived at the large warehouse of the Regent's Palace.
The soldier was confused after that, but then he breathed a sigh of relief after he figured it out.
He casually leaned towards the door of the warehouse and said, "Hey! So you are thieves!
You should have told me earlier that you are from the Huo family army in Daliang!
I was scared to death! "
Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, the soldier assumed that he had guessed correctly.
He muttered, "I'm really smart."
After that, he was no longer afraid of An Yi and even bumped him with his shoulder.
"Brother, you are such a ruthless person, since I brought you here, please take me with you!
To be honest, I have been thinking about the treasures in this mansion for a long time.
I still have gambling debts outside!
This time it’s good, I found the organization.
Not only can my gambling debts be cleared, I even have enough money to make up for my losses."
At this time, An Si and An Yu came back from the investigation and nodded to An from a distance, indicating that the traps that the soldier mentioned were real.
Then An Yi grabbed the soldier's ear and said, "Who is your big brother? If I had a little brother like you, I would be so worried that I would have dealt with you a long time ago.
Since you have helped us, you will die knowing full well before you die.
We are not thieves, we are the Daliang Huo family army that you are afraid of. "
The soldier was so frightened that he stood up straight with a snap, and then fell to his knees with a bang.
He shook his head and said, "My fellow grandfathers, I am a deaf, blind and stupid person.
I heard nothing, saw nothing, and understood nothing!
I didn't see you at all today.
Can you please not kill me for my cooperation?"
Seeing that An Yi was unmoved, the soldier continued to make up stories with tears and snot.
"This elder brother, this grandfather, this ancestor!
In fact, I am also a poor person. I have an 80-year-old mother. "
An Yi continued for him, "You still have a three-year-old child who is crying for food. The whole family is counting on you to support them!"
The lines were snatched away, leaving the soldier confused.
She didn’t even bother crying or begging for mercy, and said, “How do you know what I’m going to say?”
“Because that’s what everyone makes up.”
An Yi said this and slashed the soldier's neck with a knife.
After dealing with the soldier, the door of the warehouse was opened.
The first thing to do is to throw the soldier's body in to break the poison arrow mechanism.
Everyone pretended not to see the soldier who had been stabbed like a hedgehog and went straight inside by walking around him.
Everyone cooperated well, Leng Yue would collect whatever Huo Jingxuan pointed at.
I don’t know how many corals, pearls, agates, and jade ruyi Lengyue has collected.
There are many precious medicinal materials, including century-old ginseng, deer antlers, ganoderma lucidum, and even snow lotus.
If Leng Yue didn't have the space to store it and keep it fresh without spoiling, she wouldn't even want this broken thing.
In the end, everything except the shelves and some cheap furs and cloths was confiscated.
Originally Leng Yue planned to not bother with that and just put away all the shelves and be done with it.
Who knows which bastard craftsman Amur Linggui hired to do the work, the shelf is actually connected to the ground, and there are mechanisms underneath!
Therefore, Leng Yue gave up the idea of taking everything away.
The rest of the secret guards are responsible for finding secret compartments, mechanisms and more important treasures.
The Black Feather Army is responsible for guarding and keeping watch outside.
Finally, they found a secret room downstairs, which was filled with silver.
"It seems that this old guy has embezzled a lot!
There is so much silver hidden in such insignificant places. It seems that there must be gold hidden in the secret rooms of his bedroom and study!"
Huo Jingxuan completely agreed with Leng Yue's words.
"Come on, wife, let's go find some gold.
There is no mistress in this house, and all that is left are antiques and gold and silver.
There are no odds and ends, so it’s best to search.”
Finally, after using poison to deal with two large groups of masters, Leng Yue successfully took away all the gold bars and gold ingots that Amur Linggui had hidden in his study and bedroom.
Just when they had collected all the important things and were about to collect the food and smash, destroy and burn the remaining useless things, Amur Linggui's secret guards came.
Both sides were experts, and once they started fighting, the battle instantly became intense.
