Chapter 351 Escape Route
Mo Jiuye was not worried that Mr. Simeng would wake up immediately. He knew the power of his wife's anesthetic gun better than anyone else. It could at least put a person in a deep coma for several hours.
Since nothing unusual was found in the surrounding furniture and walls, the only thing left was the wooden bed in the room.
He lifted up all the bedding on the bed and indeed revealed a clue.
At the head of the bed, the wooden board showed obvious signs of loosening.
Mo Jiuye stepped forward and lifted the wooden board, revealing a black hole that was large enough for one person to enter and exit.
Based on past experience, such places are likely to be channels connecting to the outside world.
There was a small secret compartment in the passage, right next to the bed on the other side. The light was just right at this moment, and Mo Jiuye could see at a glance that there were several small porcelain bottles placed in the secret compartment.
Needless to say, these small porcelain bottles are filled with various poisons. As for the poisonous insects, they would never be placed here.
Because people who raise Gu insects regard them as treasures, no matter how many they raise, they will carry them with them.
There were more than a dozen porcelain bottles of various sizes. Mo Jiuye tore off a piece of sheet and wrapped the small porcelain bottles in it.
After sorting these out, Mo Jiuye did not rush in to check. Although Mr. Simeng was unconscious, he was still lying outside in plain sight. Once he was discovered, all his efforts would be wasted.
Therefore, he must bring Mr. Simeng with him when entering the secret passage. No matter where the exit of the secret passage is, he must not give the other party any chance to escape.
There are many uncertainties when entering the secret passage, so Mo Jiuye does not dare to be careless at all.
The most important thing is that his fifth and sixth brothers are waiting for him outside the Ninth Prince's Mansion. If he fails to meet up with his two brothers in time, they will definitely think that something has happened to him, and doing anything impulsive will only end up costing him more than he gains.
Thinking of this, Mo Jiuye picked up the paper and pen on the table and started writing——
[Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, everything went smoothly. I found a secret passage. I'll go in and check it out first. I'll have Xiaobai send you the latest location later.]
After writing the note, he folded it into a small paper roll, then went out of the house and called Xiaobai.
He tied the note to Xiaobai's leg and gently stroked its snow-white feathers.
"Xiaobai, send this note to Brother Five and Brother Six, and then come find me, okay?"
It was the first time that Mo Jiuye asked Xiaobai to deliver a letter. To be honest, he just said a few simple words and was not sure whether Xiaobai could understand.
However, he doesn't have to worry about Xiaobai's whereabouts. His wife said that once the little thing recognizes its owner, it will be able to find the owner no matter where the owner is, unless it encounters an accident and is trapped and unable to escape.
Watching Xiaobai flying farther and farther away, Mo Jiuye came close to Mr. Simeng.
He pulled off the cap on his head and saw a face of about his own age.
Although this face is not very good-looking, it is still quite conspicuous in the crowd.
Combined with his white hair, it is completely consistent with what Yun Li said about his master: "white hair but a youthful face."
Facing the culprit who persecuted his father and brother, Mo Jiuye wanted to cut him into pieces. However, reason told him that he couldn't do that at the moment.
He suppressed the rage in his heart and searched Mr. Simeng's body first.
Sure enough, he had all his precious poisonous insects in his arms, six in total.
Mo Jiuye did not dare to be careless when dealing with these living creatures. What if there was a mother Gu among them that controlled his father, elder brother and second brother? If anything went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So he also imitated those people who raised poisonous insects, tore off a piece of sheet again, wrapped the porcelain bottle and put it carefully in his arms.
Turning back to Mr. Simeng, Mo Jiuye roughly picked him up and threw him into the cave.
There is a section of the cave entrance that points straight down, about two meters long.
With a dull falling sound, Mr. Simeng was thrown heavily to the ground, and Mo Jiuye jumped down immediately.
It was dark inside the secret passage, so he held Mr. Simeng in one hand and used a flashlight to illuminate the area with the other.
After walking for about half an hour, we saw a faint light ahead.
Mo Jiuye knew that they were not far from the secret passage.
He continued to move forward, and soon a wooden door appeared in front of him.
It was said to be a wooden door, but there was no handle on it at all. Mo Jiuye deduced that it should be a cabinet or something like that, which needed to be pulled back and forth to open.
As expected, he only pulled it left and right twice, and the wooden door showed signs of loosening.
He exerted a little force to the left and the door opened.
The dazzling light suddenly shone in, causing Mo Jiuye to be blinded for a moment.
But he quickly adjusted his vision.
What I saw was a spacious and bright room. There was no other furnishings in the room except for a wardrobe that served as a secret passage and a hidden door.
Mo Jiuye didn't care too much and threw Mr. Simeng on the ground, then walked towards the door cautiously.
Gently pushing open the door, a house appeared before my eyes.
The neatness of the courtyard was in stark contrast to the rooms. Weeds were everywhere, and it was obvious that the place was deserted.
However, the inconspicuous traces spreading towards the house opposite the gate caught Mo Jiuye's attention.
This place is not really deserted, but people walk around occasionally.
Because he clearly saw that some of the weeds had been broken.
Obviously, these are traces of people stepping on them.
But it's normal to think about it. Since Mr. Simeng can live in a yard with an underground passage, it's understandable that he leaves here when something happens.
He first sensed the movements around him, and only walked out of the yard after seeing that there was no danger.
After all, it was an unfamiliar place. Even if Mo Jiuye had a strong sense of direction, he could not accurately judge his location.
No matter what, he had to take Mr. Simeng away with him, and he had to figure out the route to avoid any mistakes.
Mo Jiuye did not leave in a hurry, but instead used his lightness skills to fly to a high place and look around.
The scene he saw was very familiar to him. When he was a child, he and Nan Qi often came here secretly to play.
It turns out that this is Qinghe, less than a mile away from the capital.
Not to mention that he had just overheard the conversation between the Ninth Prince and Mr. Simeng, just based on the exit of this secret passage, he could determine their intentions.
Obviously, this was the escape route that the Ninth Prince arranged for himself.
It can be seen that he has been keeping a low profile for many years and his thoughts are very deep.
Just as he was thinking to himself, Xiaobai flew back and landed steadily on his shoulder.
Mo Jiuye subconsciously glanced at Xiaobai's leg, and the note on it was gone.
He knew that Xiaobai had successfully completed his first mission. When he was about to praise him, two figures came running quickly from afar.
The people who came were the fifth and sixth brothers.
Seeing the Ninth Brother, the Sixth Brother calmed his breath and said, "You know what, Fifth Brother said that we can find the Ninth Brother by following this little thing, and he really came true.
However, this guy flew really fast, and my brother and I were almost thrown off by it."
