Winter is coming.
The weather is getting cooler.
There is no moonlight tonight and the world outside is pitch black.
When the night wind blows on people, they can't help but shiver.
Scandal (2 a.m.), a petite figure quickly shuttled through the night and soon arrived in front of a tall house.
The sign on the house reads "Lan Mansion".
Xiao Ling'er held her breath and explored the area with her mental power. She discovered that the mansion was heavily guarded, with no less than two hundred secret guards on night watch.
The occupants of each bedroom have fallen asleep and are sleeping soundly.
Only the bed in the largest bedroom in the middle was empty. Xiao Ling'er guessed that this should be the bedroom of the head of the Lan family.
Master Lan may have gone to his wives' and concubines' bedrooms to set up beds.
Xiao Ling'er continued to explore carefully with her mental power and found that the compartment behind the bedroom was a large study.
Below the study is a secret room.
At this moment, an oil lamp was lit in the secret room, and Master Lan was kneeling in front of a mysterious man in black who was wrapped tightly and whose face could not be seen clearly, and it was unknown whether he was a man or a woman.
The man in black seemed very aloof, looking down at Master Lan condescendingly.
Mr. Lan was reporting something, but unfortunately Xiao Ling'er was too far away and couldn't hear their conversation.
Xiao Ling'er put an invisibility talisman on herself and quickly sneaked into Master Lan's bedroom.
It took a stick of incense to open the study in the back compartment, but I couldn't find the switch to the secret room.
In order not to alert the enemy, Xiao Ling'er did not break in the door by force, but used mind control on the two of them first.
Master Lan and the mysterious man stood there in a daze, unable to move, but soon the man in black was able to move again and disappeared from the secret room in an instant.
Xiao Ling'er was so shocked that she couldn't find her voice for a long time, and she felt angry and fear in her heart.
"Xiaojiu, I hope you can explain to me what is going on?" Xiao Ling'er's voice was very cold at this moment.
009 was also surprised and confused at first, but now it could hear that Xiao Ling'er was angry, and very angry.
So, 009 replied tremblingly: "Host, I... I don't know what's going on. Logically speaking, mind control is a secret method of the cultivation world, and no one should be able to crack it."
"I'll settle the score with you then." After saying this, Xiao Ling'er regained control of Master Lan's mental power.
Master Lan looked around in confusion and found that the secret room was empty.
A hint of envy flashed in his eyes, and then he went upstairs.
"Click." Soon, the study was split into two in the middle and opened to both sides, and Master Lan walked out slowly.
Xiao Ling'er used mind control again, and Master Lan stood motionless at the exit. Xiao Ling'er quickly threw a pill into his mouth.
"Tell me, who was the man in black who just met you? What conspiracy is there between you two?"
Master Lan, with a dazed look on his face, opened his mouth and answered unconsciously, "I don't know his identity. He ordered me to pretend to surrender to Gu Hepeng to let him down."
"Then what do you plan to do with Gu Hepeng?" Xiao Ling'er continued to ask.
"Wait... wait until Gu Hepeng takes the throne, then arrange for someone to give him and the two Gu Gongzi a slow-acting poison, so that I can take advantage of the opportunity to control the Gu family army."
When Master Lan said this, his face looked a little grim, and it was obvious that he was struggling and didn't want to answer.
Xiao Ling'er added another 10% of her mental strength, and Master Lan immediately became much calmer.
"Who are you going to arrange to enter the palace?" Xiao Ling'er took a deep breath and asked again.
"A peerless beauty who bears an 80% resemblance to Madam Gu in her youth, and my Xin'er and Lin'er."
Xiao Linger frowned: ... ...What a good plan, they even started a substitute literature.
