Lu Si and the others were all heartbroken: If the secret room is really a remnant of the Yu family, then Jin Yiwei will definitely seal the mansion, but it can't stop them from leaving, at least they can go to rescue soldiers.

Everyone's nerves were tense, and the small garden was as quiet as the calm before the storm.

It's done! Gu Xiao secretly rejoiced, but frowned on his face, and reprimanded righteously: "Brother, how can you take in Yu's family, you are causing trouble for the family!"

"Hey, don't you have been pinched for some shameful trick?"

As he said that, Gu Xiao shook his head disapprovingly, with a gloomy gleam in his eyes.

Once Gu Yuan is convicted, he will naturally be dismissed from office, and then the clan must reconsider the matter of family division, after all, it is impossible to give the property of the eldest house to Gu Yanfei, a girl's family.

It is absolutely impossible for the clan to agree.

As long as the family is re-divided, his father, as the legitimate son, can get most of the family business and this mansion, and the family can move back here.

The house they live in is small and old, it doesn't even have a racecourse, and the garden is not half the size of this small garden, and he even wants to live in the same yard as his younger brother.

In less than a month, Gu Xiao realized what it means to live like a year.

He really misses this place so much, he was born here and grew up here, in the past he only went out to play for four or five days at most, and he has never been "away from home" for so long like this time!

After today, this mansion will return to the hands of their second room.

Just thinking about it, Gu Xiao felt his blood boil and his heart beat faster.

He Lie's rough fingertips rubbed the scabbard a few times, as if he was weighing and thinking about something, he said to Gu Yuan calmly: "Gu Qianhu, I'm afraid you can't leave here for the time being... and your family too. "

"Don't worry, my people won't be rude to Miss Gu."

While speaking, He Lie's eyes flashed a cold edge, these words were polite, but also a warning, warning Gu Yuan that if he did something he shouldn't do, Jin Yiwei would not show mercy.

Several guards around Jinyi pulled out their long knives by an inch in protest, and the gleaming Xiuchun knife shone dazzlingly cold in the sun.

Gu Yuan said indifferently: "He Commander is treating me as an adult criminal?"

"He Lie, who are you scaring!" Lu Xi said angrily, standing beside Gu Yuan defensively.

Fan Beiran and the others also had burning eyes, standing with their heads held high, forming a confrontation with Jin Yiwei.

Sparks flickered faintly where the eyes of the two parties met, and an invisible bowstring seemed to be suddenly tightened in the air.

A sound of hurried footsteps came from the direction of the secret room, getting closer and closer.

I saw President Ni coming up with an oil lamp in three steps and two steps, and the first sentence he spoke was: "Commander, there is no one below..."

"How is it possible?" Gu Xiao blurted out and interrupted the other party.

Before he could finish his words, he saw another Jin Yiwei coming out of the dark secret room carrying a black cat. The cat was waving its limbs in mid-air, baring its teeth and claws.

President Ni gave Gu Xiao a sideways glance expressionlessly, and then continued: "There is only one cat down there."

While he was speaking, he saw the black cat that was grabbed by the back of the neck grinning non-stop, trying to intimidate the surrounding humans.

Everyone looked at the cat with strange expressions.

The angry black cat scratched, scratched and roared, and finally broke free from the human's claws. With a cry of "Wow", it ran away like flying, and disappeared in the flowers and trees in the blink of an eye.

Obviously, the sound of falling objects in the secret room just now was caused by this cat, and Ni Zongqi said that it was also this cat that took down? !

There was an eerie silence around the rockery.

"Pfft!" Fan Beiran was the first to laugh, and said coolly, "What a fierce kitten!"

"It's really fierce! It's frightening." Mr. Fei Liu sighed.

The two sang together, and deliberately squinted at the Jin Yiwei who drew their swords.

Gu Xiao's eyes were wide open, her mind was buzzing, and there was only one thought left: How is this possible? !

He intuitively went to look at Gu Yuan, but saw Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows, showing a little surprise.

"Heh." Gu Yuan sneered lowly, and looked at Gu Xiao, keenly capturing the momentary panic and bewilderment of the other party.

He thought that Gu Xiao and the others had already arranged everything, but it didn't seem to be the case.

This development was really unexpected, even He Lie's expressionless face couldn't hide his astonishment, and he squinted his eyes.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Gu Xiao murmured excitedly, his heart seemed to be burning with fire, "I clearly heard the cry, and many servants also heard the baby's night cry Voice."

"Commander He, we have to search again, the Yu family must be hiding."

"Maybe... maybe there is a secret room inside the secret room!"

The more Gu Xiao said, the more this was the case, the more he said it eagerly, for fear that He Lie would not believe it.

He snatched an oil lamp from a guard in brocade clothes, bent into the door of the secret room, and quickly stepped down the stone steps.

He Lie didn't stop Gu Xiao, and returned to his expressionless face before, asking Gu Yuan calmly, "Do you want Gu Qianhu to go down and have a look?"

Gu Yuan had never heard his grandfather and father talk about this secret room before, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

He Lie raised his hand and made a gesture, and the Jin Yiwei who had drawn their knives shyly put the knives back into their scabbards.

The murderous aura in the air completely disappeared, and even the spring breeze became warm.

Gu Yuan and He Lie entered the narrow door one after the other. They were both tall and stooped all the way down the stone steps.

After walking up more than 20 steps, they finally landed on a stone floor.

This secret room is only two rooms wide, and the air is filled with a cold musty smell unique to secret rooms, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

There are only two oil lamps lit here, the lights are flickering, and the light is dim.

There are some cabinets, bookshelves, and camphor wood boxes on the four walls, all of which have been opened, and the contents inside can be seen at a glance.

There really isn't anyone hiding here.

Gu Yuan looked around slowly, and his eyes fell on a long knife with a copper sheath with a unicorn pattern hanging on the wall.

Father is good at swords, and grandfather is good at knives.

Gu Yuan remembered that his father said that his grandfather had a precious sword named "Kirin".

So, this secret room once belonged to the grandfather.

Gu Yuan couldn't help thinking of a middle-aged man with a vague voice. When his grandfather Gu Xuan died, he was only in his early forties, but his hair was half gray.

At that time, he was still very young, and he didn't have much memory of his grandfather. He only vaguely remembered that his grandfather was very kind to him, and he personally taught him to hold a pen and calligraphy, and gave him enlightenment.

Gu Yuan walked slowly to the bookshelves, and randomly took out a book from one of the bookshelves. On the blue cover was "Yin Talisman Classic" impressively written.

He randomly picked another book, this one was Dao Zang.

These books are obviously old and haven't been exposed to the sun for a long time, and the pages are more or less moth-eaten and mildewy.

Gu Yuan quickly turned a few pages, and his grandfather's familiar handwriting came into view on the page.

He had seen some calligraphy, letters, notes, etc. left by his grandfather in Fuzhong, so he recognized his grandfather's handwriting.

In other words, all the Taoist books on the three rows of bookshelves were collected by my grandfather.

Pounding!

Gu Yuan's heartbeat quickened twice, and he remembered the tablet of his grandfather in the ancestral hall. His sister said that there was a trace of the soul of their own grandmother in the tablet. When my grandfather was alive, he tried his best to keep his grandmother alive.

Gu Yuan's eye sockets were slightly astringent, as if a gust of wind had blown by the lake in his heart, causing ripples in circles.

"Where is the person..." Gu Xiao pushed open a cupboard roughly, and murmured to himself in disbelief, "Where is the person hiding!"

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew from the direction of the entrance of the secret room, causing the light in the oil lamp to flicker wildly, and the light was almost extinguished.

At that time, the bright and dark lights cast a strange shadow on Gu Xiao's face, which made his face extremely ferocious and weird.

He couldn't help but walked around the secret room again, hitting the wall for a while, and then went to see if the cabinets, boxes, and interlayers were there, but he still found nothing.

Gu Xiao was going crazy, dripping with cold sweat, panting rapidly.

"Have you seen enough?" He Lie waited impatiently for Gu Xiao, and asked coldly, "Gu Xiao, what about the Yu family's outer room and baby?"

Gu Xiao: "..."

Ni Zongqi stroked his mustache in a slow manner, and sneered coolly: "Gu Xiao, you are not daydreaming, are you?"

Gu Xiao opened and closed her mouth, wanting to say that she wasn't lying or daydreaming, but saying these things now wasn't convincing at all.

He didn't give up, and searched around the wall of the secret room for an unknown number of times, repeatedly beating on the wall with "Du Du, Du Du".

He wanted to find the room in the room, but after searching for a cup of tea, he still found nothing.

Gu Xiao's back unknowingly broke out in a cold sweat, even the hair at the temples was soaked, and his face was as pale as a dead person.

"No, it's impossible." Gu Xiao became more and more impatient, talking to himself almost crazily, "The secret room must be somewhere!"

He Lie was not interested in "playing" with Gu Xiao any longer, so he turned around without hesitation, and at the same time ordered: "Get out."

Seeing that He Lie was about to leave, Gu Xiao panicked and was also afraid. She tried to catch He Lie and shouted, "Let me look for it again, let me look for it again..."

Jin Yiwei next to him is not blind, how could Gu Xiao rush into their commander and kick Gu Xiao hard in the abdomen.

"Ah!" Gu Xiao let out a scream like a slaughtered pig, staggered and hit the wall behind him, his abdomen hurt so badly that he bowed his whole body.

Neither He Lie nor Gu Yuan turned back, letting the screams from behind echo in the small secret room...

A group of people went out of the secret room in a single file, and returned from the dark and narrow place to the bright and spacious garden outside.

The breeze with the fragrance of flowers blows towards the face, refreshing and refreshing.

"Gu Qianhu, I'm really bothering you today." He Lie simply cupped his hands at Gu Yuan, "Farewell."

Gu Yuan also simply replied: "Go slowly."

While talking, Gu Xiao, who was sweating profusely, clutched his abdomen, and staggered out of the secret room, or he was driven out by two Jinyi guards.

"Gu Xiao," when He Lie looked at Gu Xiao, his eyes were as cold as ten thousand years of ice, and his voice was also gloomy, "Emperor Taizu said, if you deliberately make a false accusation, you will be punished with fifty sticks, and you will be exiled into the army for three years!"

Deliberate false accusation is framing, and the crime is aggravated.

"Commander He, something must have gone wrong." Gu Xiao's lips turned pale with fright, cold sweat trickled down his cheeks, and he was so out of his mind.

Fifty sticks will cost him half his life, and three years in the army may make him give the remaining half of his life to the wild land of Liaodong!

No, he will not be exiled!

The two Jinyi guards immediately approached Gu Xiao, restraining him from left to right, with rude movements.

"Brother..." Gu Xiao was really scared, and cast a pleading look at Gu Yuan, hoping that he could plead for him.

Gu Yuan has never been a person who repays grievances with kindness, so he pretended not to understand Gu Xiao's eyes begging for help, and ordered to Wutong: "Send Commander He out for me."

A group of Jin Yiwei came aggressively, and then left aggressively.

The vicinity of the rockery was suddenly quite empty.

Fan Beiran frowned, looked at Gu Xiao's almost erected back, and said, "A Yuan, what the hell is your cousin doing?"

"Gu Xiao has always been as timid as a mouse." Lu Xi rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said to Gu Yuan, "How dare you go to Beizhen Fusi alone to report that you are harboring the remnants of the Yu family, there must be something tricky in it."

The others also felt sympathy and frowned.

Yue Jun thought of Gu Xiao's affair with him outside the mansion this morning, his face straightened, and he said in a deep voice, "Gu Xiao was very sure before going down to the secret room that someone was hiding inside..."

Everyone looked at the secret room in the rockery cave together, puzzled.

Mr. Fei Liu interjected: "A Yuan, you'd better be careful. Gu Xiao's actions like this are probably instigated by your second uncle. I don't know what kind of medicine they sell in the gourds of their father and son. I guess there is another trick. Woolen cloth."

A few flying birds brushed against the branches and leaves above, and the dense branches and leaves swayed gently above.

Gu Yuan's eyes flickered, but he didn't say a word.

After a while, he patted Lu Ruili's shoulder, and said concisely: "I know it well."

He just suddenly thought, it should be his sister, right?

Dissolved the situation quietly.

Gu Yuan looked up at the black swallow flying in the blue sky, curved his lips into a smile, his brows were gentle.

"What are you thinking? Laughing so sullenly?" Lu Si bumped Gu Yuan with his shoulder with a smile.

The corners of Gu Yuan's lips were raised a little higher, he turned around and walked towards the water pavilion, and only said: "Go, let's continue drinking!"

The tall and straight young man left a high-spirited back.

Lu Si, Fan Beiran and others behind him looked at his back and exchanged a tacit look.

After they go back today, they have to ask their elders, brothers, in-laws, etc., so that Gu Yuan can't be bullied again for no reason.

Gu Yuan waited for nine years before he got a chance to vindicate his father.

They all grew up together since they were young. Even if Gu Yuan never spoke, they all knew what Gu Yuan was working hard for all these years. for a purpose.

But now he finally sees hope.

Even if they can't help much, they still hope to help Gu Yuan smooth out those thorns that hinder his eyesight.

"We won't go home if we don't get drunk today!" Lu Si strode towards Gu Yuan's direction, "Don't ruin everyone's mood because of those sinister villains."

While chatting and laughing, the sons and brothers surrounded Gu Yuan and walked towards the water pavilion.

The atmosphere returned to the lively atmosphere before, and the water passed without a trace.

Fan Beiran hooked Gu Yuan's shoulders with a smile and said, "Ah Yuan, this pear blossom white and bamboo leaf green is not enjoyable to drink, do you have Erguotou here?"

"If not, I'll send people out to buy it!"

Erguotou is strong wine, and when Fan Beiran opened his mouth, there was a burst of enthusiastic second opinion, no one cared about Gu Yuan's opinion at all.

After a cup of tea, the ten altars of Erguotou were sent to the water pavilion, and when these wine jars were all emptied, it was already two hours later, and the young masters were drunk one by one.

Of course, Gu Yuan didn't let them go on horseback. Some of them rested directly in the guest room of Gu's mansion, and some were sent back by Gu's carriage...

After settling everyone down, Gu Yuan went to Yuhengyuan with the smell of alcohol all over his body.

The courtyard is quiet and peaceful, filled with a strong fragrance of bamboo and flowers, and the colorful flowers swaying gently among the green branches and leaves, quiet and elegant.

Gu Yuan walked through Yuhengyuan familiarly, and came to Gu Yanfei's small study.

After lifting the curtain, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He saw that there were strips of talisman papers pasted on the bookshelves, desks, and cabinets in the room. The windows on the east side were wide open, and the breeze wafted in. Just shaking.

The girl in front of her was working at the desk with her back to him.

At first glance, this scene is really a bit weird, it really doesn't look like a room of ladies.

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, but felt warm.

For him, as long as his sister is happy.

He quietly looked at the girl in front of him for a long time, and then he took a step, walked lightly, and quietly walked to Gu Yanfei and sat down beside Gu Yanfei. Gu Yanfei was concentrating on drawing talismans.

"They're all gone?" Gu Yanfei asked casually when finishing the pen.

Gu Yuan leaned lazily against the window sill, and said with a smile: "Everyone else has left, only Fan Beiran and Yue Jun are staying at the mansion today."

"Fan Beiran praised that our Erguotou is more powerful than other places, and asked me to ask where you bought it."

His eyes are very clear, very bright, and his consciousness is very clear.

The Gu family all have a good drinker, Gu Yuan is, and so is Gu Yanfei.

"Those wines are from Qiongfangzhai." Gu Yanfei smiled, and said proudly, "Since he likes it, let him take a few jars with him when he leaves. I have a wine cellar at home and let him Pick whatever you want."

Gu Yuan smiled, raised his hand and rubbed his sister's soft hair, "My sister is really generous."

"It should." Gu Yanfei smiled generously and brightly.

Vote for me with a peach, and give me Qiongyao.

There is always coming and going between people.

While the siblings were talking, Juanbi brought a cup of hot hangover tea.

Gu Yuan drank down this cup of hangover tea that tasted even more indescribable than soup.

With the idea of ​​sharing the blessings together, he specially instructed Juanbi: "You let the hangover tea be boiled in the tea room, and when Fan Beiran and Yue Jun wake up, send them there too."

Juan Bi misunderstood, nodded again and again, and replied solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, the slaves will tell those over there, and won't neglect the two young masters."

Walk briskly away.

Gu Yuan pressed the corners of his lips, and a sharp edge flashed in his eyes, "In the morning, Gu Xiao brought Jin Yiwei over, and found a secret room in the small garden..."

The bitter taste in his mouth was unbearable, Gu Yuan frowned subconsciously.

Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows, pulled the Taoist talisman from the side, and slapped Gu Yuan on the forehead neatly.

If others dared to surprise Gu Yuan like this, they would have been blown away by him long ago, but in front of Gu Yanfei, he was so obedient that he remained motionless.

After a while, Gu Yuan pursed his lips, and the corners of his eyes outlined a shallow arc of pleasure.

The bitter taste in my mouth turned into a sweet taste.

Gu Yanfei raised her chin triumphantly, "Isn't it bitter?"

"It's not bitter anymore." Gu Yuan nodded, the corners of his lips slightly curled up.

"I drew a lot of talismans today." Gu Yanfei tugged at his cuff, and flaunted triumphantly, "Look, this immobilization talisman can make people stay still, just like acupuncture points mentioned in drawing books; this wine talisman It can turn water into wine; this wine-changing talisman, on the other hand, can turn wine into water, and it's most suitable for socializing."

Seeing that his younger sister was in high spirits, Gu Yuan cooperatively pointed to the talisman she had just drawn and asked, "Then this one?"

"This is a failed product." Gu Yanfei crumpled the Dao Talisman into a ball, and his eyes fell on the jade bracelet on his wrist.

It's only been a few months, and this is already the fourth piece of jade with aura she's found.

She has been thinking about it for the past two days, maybe she can design a spirit-gathering talisman for her compass, and maybe the compass can find ancient relics with aura.

As a result, the spirit-gathering talisman was not drawn, but a bunch of other talismans were drawn carelessly.

The brothers and sisters were chatting and laughing, when the sun was setting, Juan Bi rushed in suddenly, and said cheerfully: "Eldest Young Master, Fourth Young Master Lu just sent his servant Xing Wang over, and he said it was Commander He I just took someone to the second master’s house in Luwei Hutong."

"It is said that the old lady is harboring criminals from the imperial court, and she wants to search the house of the second master and the others."

Thinking of the Jin Yiwei's search of the mansion in the morning, Juan Bi was still a little scared.
