New clues
Ren Beixi was not unaware of Gui Yao's special concerns.
Concerns about rats.
He took down the scroll and lowered his eyes to examine the small hole. Gui Yao opened the lunch box and started to eat a simple meal. After she had laid out three dishes and a soup, she looked up and asked him if he had had dinner.
The man shook his head.
After Chenshi carried Guiyao back to the house, he ordered the surrounding area to be more vigilant. Today's grain team did not distribute it on time, which caused the people who lined up early to be very dissatisfied. At noon, they gathered in front of Wuhua Mansion and glared at the people disguised as guards.
When Ren Beixi arrived, he chatted with the people for a long time.
The people seemed to have no idea what happened in Wuhua City at night, or rather, they did not dare to understand.
When it was mentioned, he hesitated and avoided looking. In the end, he didn't even wait for the food. He picked up the baby who was eating candied haws and left. Before leaving, he heard someone mutter in a low voice - there are some at home.
"Shortly after the new emperor ascended the throne, faint noises were heard at night in Wuhua City, and people even knocked on doors in the middle of the night, causing people to be afraid to light the lights."
"Later, the former prefect issued a nighttime curfew, and the people circulated it among themselves. Some people started saying that if you went out at night, you would be watched by ghosts and your food would be stolen. However, Wuhua City would return all the stolen food in the name of collecting food."
Gui Yao poked her head out curiously: "So much information? How did you get it?"
"Knock out three or four villagers."
Pin Yue held the sword and spoke in a light voice.
"wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"That's not right."
Guiyao tilted her head, swallowed the food in her mouth, and had an inexplicable expression.
"Why is Sister Pinyue here?"
Pinyue looked at her coldly.
"I heard from Xiao Hui that Jiu Chong took you away, didn't you?" Gui Yao put down her chopsticks, held her face, and her curved eyes were as sweet as crescent candies.
Don’t look away, Poor Moon.
Guiyao was getting excited! Her smile widened! She heard a cough and looked down to see that the dishes Ren Beixi had picked up for her were almost full, so she quickly stopped eating. Through her long eyelashes, she secretly saw the paleness of Pinyue's fair cheeks by the candlelight.
No way, Jiuchong even beat Pinyue?
Perhaps because she did not hide her surprise at all, Pinyue looked over with her narrow eyes and cleared her throat.
"I ran back while he was sleeping."
Guiyao raised her hand silently.
"You two sleep together?"
Pinyue raised her head slightly without comment. Guiyao finished the soup brought by Ren Beixi and laughed muffledly several times.
What should I do? This pair is actually quite delicious.
If Ren Zhong were still alive, could he still have a taste of the three-person Shura Field? No, Gui Yao, don't let your mind be filled with love.
"System, system, how complete is this mission?" she asked in her mind. The system rarely responded, and she paused, holding up the scroll.
After a while, I heard the voice of the system.
"What is the Three-Person Shura Field?"
Gui Yao raised her eyebrows.
"It's about three people, two of them developing all sorts of love-hate and resentment for one of them, or maybe it's not just one person, but she loves him, he loves her, he loves him, and they live and die together, and die and live together. Although I haven't seen many works of this kind, I've heard of them before."
"Fifty percent." The system whispered.
What? Guiyao blinked.
"Completion rate: 50 percent."
Gui Yao called the system for a long time but no result came out, so she had to quickly follow Ren Beixi's footsteps and walked into the living room.
The candle in his hand is bright, but if it is far away, it is just an ordinary flame.
Gui Yao looked out of the courtyard and raised her head. The sky was already dotted with stars. The morning glow had faded, and everything returned to dust. Outside, on the other side of the wall, she could faintly hear the sound of people walking. Gui Yao paused and asked, "Is this place connected to the outside?"
"Yes." Ren Beixi's voice was deep, "This house is only separated from the outer street by a wall, but you can only leave Wuhua Mansion through the door in the inner courtyard."
"A natural surveillance spot." Gui Yao thought.
Indeed, looking up, there is almost no obstruction on the eaves. You can climb up with a high ladder, not to mention that people with light skills can easily climb over it. Even if it is a secret visit, the emperor would not be left to live here.
In Wuhua City, the Wuhua Mansion was confiscating gold and silver, selling intelligence, and spreading malicious and negative rumors. And, perhaps because there were rats everywhere, lots of them, Guiyao had a feeling there was a major problem with the food supply, but aside from those few scraps of paper, there was no way to verify it.
But Ren Beixi lowered his eyes and looked at her: "This room was prepared by His Majesty himself."
He held Guiyao's shoulders and jumped onto the roof in one step. Guiyao subconsciously grabbed his collar, stood firm, and then slowly let go.
"The bustling scene at night is only this street in front of Wuhua Mansion."
“There are more lights than people.”
Gui Yao struggled to hand the painting to Ren Beixiong and said tentatively, "Can you try to lift it up?"
In the distance, a man breathing fire was struggling to hold onto a stick, a fire dragon was sweeping across the street, and people wearing ghost masks were coming and going, but they only scared the tourists passing by. Looking from a high vantage point, it was obvious that although their paces were different, they were always moving in the same line.
This is a dead street.
So why...
Why is this scene set up like this?
Ren Beixi said in a deep voice: "Look!"
I saw faint traces of light and shadow on the opposite side of the wall. It seemed that they were indeed shining through the small hole in the scroll. When the scroll was lifted up, the light and shadow went downwards. However, it was obvious that there was no "curtain" in the building opposite that could clearly see the image.
The two of them lowered their eyes and looked down at the same time. Pinyue, who was leaning against the corner, came up coldly and took the scroll.
"Hold it down," she said.
Gui Yao made a quick decision and squatted down to hug Ren Beixi, but the next second she was picked up by the man's strong arms and fell to the ground.
Ren Beixi said in a calm voice, "Go find Ren Xi."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped Gui Yao from saying goodbye, his dark eyes as black as lacquer: "Do you like her very much?"
Gui Yao nodded and felt a big hand leaning on her head.
Ren Beixi touched her head: "I understand."
What did you know? Gui Yao was pushed and carried all the way to the middle of the courtyard, then carried to the roof on the other side and flew up. This time, she was so scared that she pulled Ren Beixi's clothes tightly, and then she let go and found that she was still in his arms.
"...This is not good." Gui Yao pointed at the three or four men in black on the roof.
The men in black who were pointed at bowed timidly and jumped off their respective roofs.
Very good, let’s start investigating.
Obviously, the largest curtain here is the wall under your feet.
But at what angle can the picture be projected through the small hole, and what kind of picture requires such a lot of trouble?
There is only one place Guiyao wants to go.
At the entrance of the reception room of Wuhua Mansion.
According to what we know so far, the two sides of the secret passage are interconnected, so the entrance and exit are only on these two sides. Just like Gui Yao was invited on the first day, new guests coming and going seem to go through the main gate of Wuhua Mansion.
If we can really rely on pinhole imaging, we can broadcast the scene of the living room in front of the secret room on the white wall.
That is truly a natural surveillance area.
The theory was established, and Ren Beixi handed the scroll to Gui Yao and looked around the roof for a place to hang the painting.
Gui Yao saw him flying here and there, scratched her head, and then slowly moved from the right to the left while ensuring her own safety.
Ren Beixi almost lost his balance when he turned around.
When he flew back, he scared Gui Yao who was seriously looking for clues. Gui Yao nudged the man's chest with her elbow, which was quite close to her. After a while, she changed her palm and pinched it.
One quarter of midnight.
There was still a commotion outside the wall. Gui Yao knew that Ren Beixi's men had already taken their positions, waiting to be followed one by one during the day.
Guiyao sat on the bed holding a pillow.
They were supposed to sleep together, but she slept too much during the day, so she had to coax Ren Beixi to sleep and then sit up to look at the stars. The sky of Wuhua City seemed to be no different from that of Xianyu City. For some reason, her hands felt a little itchy when she thought of her hometown.
I haven't petted a cat or dog in ages. I wonder how Miaomiao and Momo are doing, are they still arguing? I want to pet Dahuang's tail, and even a little bit want to pet noisy Ah Ji and the other little animals. It's so bad, it's all because my head has been filled with the sounds of mice these past few days.
Gui Yao rubbed her face on the pillow for a long time. She felt a little depressed and started to have random thoughts for some reason.
It would be nice if a stray cat came in at a time like this.
"Bang--"
What's that sound? Guiyao looked towards the corner alertly and saw a piece of dark brown hair.
A cat? Guiyao's gaze seemed to scare it, and the piece of hair shrank back to the well in the corner of the wall.
To be honest, based on Guiyao's recent situation, the probability that this thing is a mouse is very high.
But she got out of bed anyway.
When getting out of bed, put your shoes on carefully.
She asked tentatively in her mind, "Hello Rat, are you a Rat?"
A tail suddenly stretched out from the well in the distance and shook.
It's still a big rat!
Gui Yao took a deep breath, took another step forward, and stood three steps away from the well. She spoke seriously, "You can hear me, right? My name is Gui Yao, and I've been staying here temporarily for the past few days. Have you been to this house before?"
"The rat's name is Susu."
A girl's voice came from my mind.
Wow.
Able to communicate! Big rat!! Guiyao’s eyes sparkled, the mission was saved!!!!!!
"Hello, Susu." Guiyao asked seriously, "Would you like to meet me?"
I saw the tail in the corner of the well retract and then stretch out, as if thinking for a long time, before slowly changing direction and slowly poking its head out from the corner of the well, with round ears, black little eyeballs, and silly whiskers on its cheeks like a kitten.
Gui Yao's eyes lit up: "Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, isn't this that so-and-so!"
The mouse shrank back.
oops.
"...Sorry, sorry, I'm a little excited when I see familiar little animals." Gui Yao controlled the corners of her mouth and waved slightly to Susu in the corner, and Susu came over obediently.
"Do we know each other?" Susu was a little confused.
Gui Yao shook her head, then nodded: "I know your descendants."
She couldn't help but reach out and touch the furry head, but the little guy's fur might have been stained by the dampness in the well, and he looked very pitiful, so Guiyao began to make up a half-true and half-false story for him: "Your offspring come in various colors, and the white one is the cutest. What's your name? Hmm..."
Gui Yao found that she could neither explain the South America in the South American chinchilla nor the origin of the nickname "Chinchilla", so she had to put the chinchilla on it.
She flipped through the mind-reading notebook in her mind, and the records inside also followed her explanation: chinchilla, slash, super invincible big rat.
Gui Yao silently pulled out the system and said, "Although chinchillas are rodents, they are very different from mice..."
System: "Not listening, want to be caught."
Forget it, let it be a rat.
In ancient times, there would be no need to bother with Baidu Encyclopedia, Slash, and Mind Reading Notes.
She poured the water into the basin, and Susu came in and stood there obediently, not noticing someone walking slowly behind her.
Guiyao heard Ren Beixi calling her.
When she turned around, she told him with a smile what she had encountered.
However, there was a rare look of surprise in Ren Beixi's dark eyes.
"Yaoyao."
"Are you bathing...a giant rat?"
