After I was resurrected from the dead, I turned from an old man to a peerless beauty

Chapter 199

Since Lin Mao made the request, how could Chang Xiaoqing and Jia Ruo in the room not agree to it outright.

Chang Xiaoqing couldn't help but look at Jia Ruo more, and happened to meet Shang Jia Ruo's stare blankly—the two didn't like each other very much, but at this moment

It's like they have a tacit understanding, but when they meet their eyes, they know that they are secretly competing with each other.

So the three of them discussed hastily, waited in the inn until it was about to get dark, and then turned out of the window together.Lin Mao booked this inn room before because he liked the fact that there is a wild forest next to the inn and few people come.At this moment, Chang Xiaoqing and Jia Ruo supported one of his arms, but there was no movement when he fell from the second floor to the ground.

Because they didn't dare to take a ride and show their signs, the three of them took advantage of the night to fly and sneak along the eaves and walls of the alleys and pavilions, and secretly touched under the courtyard wall of Chizheng Mansion.

This city is a prosperous city second only to the capital, and the sub-rudder of the Chizheng Mansion is also magnificent and resplendent here, not much inferior to the Chizheng Mansion in the capital.And probably because the Wulin League is here and there are so many people from all walks of life, the construction of Jiancheng Chizheng Mansion is much more complicated than other places, with pavilions and pavilions layered on top of each other. Not to mention, starting from the wall of the Chizheng Mansion, the organs are densely laid out like the Chizheng Mansion in the capital. The horror of no bones left.

Lin Mao, Chang Xiaoqing and Jia Ruo passed by the gate of Chizheng Mansion, and from the corner of their eyes, they saw the Bagua Nail Bone Formation and Changchun Formation on both sides and top and bottom of the vermilion gate, as well as some The sinister mechanism at the bottom of the box in Tianji Pavilion.

It is not impossible to break through the formation from the main gate, but since Lin Mao wants to spy on the main mansion at night, it is to avoid people's eyes and ears.But the three of them walked around the Chizheng Mansion again, only to find that this place is like an iron barrel with no dead ends—the gate is arranged sinisterly, but the towering "iron wall" that surrounds the entire Chizheng Mansion "But it is a big trouble that is difficult to solve.

"This is such a big hand in holding the government..."

Chang Xiaoqing lightly raised her hand to caress a "copper wall", and sighed softly.

The bricks and stones under his hands are indeed no different from ordinary blue bricks in terms of appearance and use, but I don't know what process Chizhengfu has done. The whole brick wall feels as cold as iron, and it is so cold that flies can't stand on it. Hold your feet.

This is the famous "Iron Wall" of Chizheng Mansion. The iron wall built with a special technique is as cold as iron and smooth as ice, leaving no traces of swords, guns, swords, halberds, etc. It is because of There is nowhere to turn into a delusion.

Jia Ruo heard Chang Xiaoqing sigh with emotion, and his red pupils shrank slightly, and a few vines sprang out from his wrists quickly when they seemed slow, and they were about to poke towards the wall.

"do not--"

Lin Mao saw it at a glance, let out a low cry, and stretched out his hand to grab Jia Ruo and jumped back suddenly.

There seemed to be a metallic luster flashing across the wall, and a small bud at the top of the vine was cut into two and fell softly to the ground.

Lin Mao glanced up at the top of the wall, and explained in a low voice: "There are many iron windmills on the top of the wall of Chizheng Mansion, no matter whether birds, beasts or idlers, they will be shredded by the iron windmills once they cross the boundary."

"..."

Jia Ruo took the vine back silently.

Chang Xiaoqing watched Jia Ruo act like this, her face remained unchanged, but her eyes seemed quite satisfied.

His emotion just now, to put it bluntly, was purposely spoken to a careless monk like Jia Ruo.

Lin Mao gave Chang Xiaoqing a reproachful look over Jia Ruo, then walked towards the corner of the wall.

As I said before, the complicated organs of Chizhengfu are very difficult for ordinary people in the world.

But it happened that Lin Mao came under the wall of Chizheng Mansion this time.And Lin Mao is really not an "ordinary person" to Chi Zhengfu.

Lin Mao left Lin Mao and Jia Ruo on each side to let the wind go, while he walked back and forth a few times along the towering courtyard wall of Chizheng Mansion, muttering words to calculate the distance of the courtyard wall, and it didn't take long , he stopped suddenly, searched for a few bricks on the plain courtyard wall with both hands, and pressed them lightly one by one in a special order.

"Crack-"

A small voice came from the cracks in the brick wall.

I saw a small door that could only allow one person to pass sideways opened on the indestructible "iron wall".

Lin Mao looked back at the two people behind him, lowered his eyes and said calmly: "...There are also people in Chizheng's mansion who need to sneak in and out."

What Lin Mao opened this time was one of the back doors that were only used to enter and exit Chizheng Mansion's hidden lines.

Strictly speaking, the secret order of the back door can only be known by those who hold high positions in the main government.But Lin Mao not only has a secret order in hand, but this secret order is completely different from what other people have obtained.

Even for one of the commanders like Red Peony, the secret order in his hand can only open a few specific back doors or unlock the mechanism on a certain route.

However, Lin Mao was able to move unimpeded in such a huge mansion with the secret order in his hand: not only the outermost small door, but also the subsequent layers of organ formations were all easily dispelled by him. .

This made Chang Xiaoqing, who originally thought there would be one fierce fight after another, feel somewhat subtle and strange.

"Master is so kind and amazing."

After passing another checkpoint, Chang Xiaoqing stared at Lin Mao's back with a smile and praised.

You must know that the danger and ingenuity of the checkpoint just now is hard to see in the world. When Chang Xiaoqing passed it, he secretly figured out the situation when the mechanism was activated. Even with such high martial arts, he still couldn't hide his fear .

If Lin Mao hadn't taken the lead in deactivating those organs, I'm afraid that just getting here, one of him and Jia Ruo would be seriously injured.

But Chang Xiaoqing didn't know that his admiration made Lin Mao stiffen for a moment.

The "golden key" in Lin Mao's hand that allowed him to travel freely naturally came from Gong Ningzi, who had broken with him for a long time.

But when he first got the secret order, he and Gong Ning Zishang were close friends who could be devoted to each other.

Back then, the Chizheng Mansion was only newly built, so Gong Ningzi eagerly sent the secret order to Lin Mao, and then solemnly instructed——

【"You remember the order of these words, as long as I am still alive, I can guarantee that you will be safe and sound when you walk sideways in Chizheng's mansion."】

【"Pfft...you still want me to memorize these useless things with just a few superficial mechanisms in your ruined mansion? Those formations are so simple, I can pass by with just one step..."]

I vaguely remember that I seemed to have laughed at Gong Ningzi at that time, right?

Lin Mao secretly sighed in his heart.

Who would have thought that Chizheng Mansion would become such a colossus that everyone fears...

And he himself only relied on the secret order written down so many years ago to inquire about the news inside this behemoth, just to save Gong Ningzi?

The so-called world tricks people, but that's all.

Lin Mao felt bitter in his heart, but his footsteps never stopped.

Although the Chizheng Mansion was in a state of awe before, everything was orderly and orderly, and everyone was in their place without any panic.But the current Chizheng Mansion is not what it used to be.

The order that should be there is still there...but it's just barely maintained.

Lin Mao and Chang Xiaoqing Jiaruo hide in the shadows and spy around. The people they see are either newcomers who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, frivolous and loose, or cowardly old stories full of fear and anxiety.

The entire Chizheng Mansion was panic-stricken, and everyone looked restless. Lin Mao wandered around the Chizheng Mansion most of the night, but no one noticed.

"If Gong Ningzi knew about this, I'm afraid she would be angry for a long time."

Lin Mao left from under the window of a member of the Chizheng Mansion, looked up at the bright moon in the sky that was gradually sinking, and said with a wry smile.

Over the course of the night, the three of them listened to countless news and gossip, but found nothing useful.

But at this moment, Chang Xiaoqing suddenly stopped and turned his ears to listen.

"There was a muffled hum."

Chang Xiaoqing said.

"The smell of blood..."

Jia Ruo also spoke immediately.

Lin Mao's eyes lit up when he heard the two speak.

"Finally found it!"

He stretched out his hand and patted Chang Xiaoqing and Jia Ruo's shoulders respectively, his complexion finally relaxed a little.

The purpose of Lin Mao's visit to the government at night is to find out the news about Gong Ningzi, and to save Lin Tietou, who was related to him as a New Year gift.

Since someone is humming and smells like blood—the execution hall of Chizheng Mansion is not far away.

Sure enough, with Chang Xiaoqing and Jia Ruo following the sound to identify the taste, the three of them found the extremely hidden execution hall quite smoothly this time.

Probably because they were afraid of people robbing the prison, the execution hall of Chizheng Mansion was set up very secretly, and the entrance was actually inside a dry well - no wonder Lin Mao and the others took so long to find it.

On the other side of the punishment hall is the cell used by the Chizheng Mansion to detain criminals involved in Jianghu crimes.It's just that the cell at this time is full of Chizhengfu's own staff.

Most of them were seriously injured, and without exception, they all wore purple clothes, and they were obviously direct descendants of Gong Ningzi's faction.

(What a Bai Ruolin——)

The three of them hid their tracks and ran into the execution hall, and fell on the beam above the execution hall.

Just by lowering your head slightly, you can see clearly the scenes in the prison cell and the execution hall.

The cell was gloomy, but someone was being tortured in the torture hall.

An old and thin man was tied tightly to a wooden stake, his head and face were bloody, whoever it was if it wasn't Lin Tietou.

"Snapped--"

There was a sharp crack of a whip.

At the same time, blood splattered everywhere, and there was another deep bone wound on Lin Tietou's body.

The man in white with a long whip looked at Lin Tietou in front of him with a sneer.

"What's the matter? Are you planning to keep talking hard?"

Needless to say, the person in charge of the torture is the sharp voice who confronted Lin Tietou before.

It's just that compared to the daytime, that high-pitched voice is much more majestic in the torture hall... and much more vicious.

It was only a few hours from daytime to now, but the former Lin Tietou had been tortured beyond human form.

But even so, Lin Tietou was still as repulsive in the face of torture with a high-pitched voice.

"I bother……"

He drooped his neck and spat bloody spit on the ground, obviously not wanting to ignore the squeaky voice.

Seeing this person's appearance, Squealer's triangular eyes suddenly shot out a sinister look.

"Oh, Lin Tietou, you are the only one who suffers from this appearance." He deliberately softened his voice, but it was much more vicious and terrifying than before. The person next to him gave an order, and after a while, someone held a soft handkerchief, lowered his head, and carefully delivered it to Squealer's hand.

Dozens of slender bamboo sticks half a finger wide and one foot long were placed neatly on the napkin. One end of the bamboo sticks can still see the true color of bamboo and wood, but the other end has been sharpened and has been razor-sharp. Dyed into a section of black and red.

The squeaky voice slowly pulled out a bamboo stick, patted it on the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "Look, this bamboo stick looks inconspicuous, but it sticks along the seam of the nail to the base of the finger, and then picks out the nail piece by piece. Kailai... tsk tsk tsk, but it hurts. Old man, you are so old, why do you let yourself suffer so much? It's just to let you explain some old things to our Palace Master Bai , where did so many things come from?"

Lin Tietou was still looking lifeless before, but when he heard the words "old things" from the squeaky voice, he suddenly became energetic, and looked up at the squeaky voice coldly.

His squeaky voice was pierced by his gaze, and his face suddenly darkened a lot.

And above these people, Lin Mao's eyes were also cold.

During the day, Lin Mao saw that Lin Tietou and others were still full of anger even though they were injured, and they were still able to hide their anger.

But looking at the scene in the execution hall now, an unknown fire only made his teeth creak. ;

(What a Bai Ruolin who bullied his master and exterminated his ancestors! It's just for the sake of seizing power, so he wants to humiliate the old man under his master like this?)

Lin Mao gritted his teeth in his heart and thought.

But at this moment, Lin Mao suddenly heard the high-pitched voice say: "Back then...Gong Ningzi sent people to Wangyou Valley to give off New Year gifts, and you were the one who went the most. Every plant and every tree, Lin Mao’s words and deeds are explained in detail, it’s as simple as that, old man, don’t ask for trouble.”

Wangyou Valley?

Lin Mao never expected that Lin Tietou's torture would be related to him.

And at the moment when the words "Wangyougu" came out, Lin Mao keenly felt Chang Xiaoqing's aura suddenly changed beside him.

【Wait a moment--】

Lin Mao cast a calm look at Chang Xiaoqing, who had a murderous expression on his face.

He always felt that what the squeaky voice was going to say next might be very important.

Sure enough, the squeaky voice continued to babble without waiting for Lin Tietou to respond.

"Palace Master Bai is also working for the emperor now, that's why he is so anxious to know all the matters in Wangyou Valley... and if Palace Master Bai's affairs are handled well, he will be able to do things for you in front of the emperor. A few kind words from the old palace master might save his life. Why can't you people turn your head around such a good thing?"

Lin Tietou coughed a few times, and said with a sneer: "Is it necessary to do something? Didn't you snatch the body of Old Valley Master Lin? Why are you here to ask about Wangyou Valley? Who wouldn't you?" I know that everyone in Chizheng's mansion can get to the bottom of it and trace the cause and effect of everyone, but only the old owner of Wangyou Valley must be respectful and not neglected? Regarding the matter of Worry Valley, in the entire Chizheng Mansion, except Palace Master Gong, no one else can intervene. This is the iron law set by Palace Master Gong. You ask me about the things in Wangyou Valley back then... Hehe, yes Can't stop, the little old man has a bad memory, he forgot long ago."

"You—the main thing that the White House is doing, how can a small person like you get involved!"

Squealer's whole face twisted, he was obviously about to swear, but he held it back at the last moment.

But it was his actions that made Lin Mao on the beam even more suspicious.

Bai Ruolin, who is in charge of the government, is investigating the matter of Wangyougu?

And what about that corpse?

He frowned, his figure was slightly condensed, and he was about to jump down and grab the high-pitched voice to ask for clarification without doing anything, but at this moment, someone suddenly appeared in Xing's place like a dark shadow. in the hall.

"Blackbird?"

The squeaky voice turned around and faced a black figure, and the whole person jumped twice in fright.

But that shadow and Squealer seemed to belong to the same faction. After Squealer calmed down, Lin Mao watched the black shadow move closer to Squealer's ear, and his lips moved slightly, apparently saying something.

It's a pity that he is not very good at martial arts now, and he can only see the shadow's mouth moving slightly from such a distance, but he can't hear what the other party is saying clearly.

But Chang Xiaoqing's martial arts were much higher than Lin Mao's. After listening intently, his expression suddenly changed.

Immediately afterwards, Chang Xiaoqing silently reached out a hand to pinch Lin Mao's palm, and using her finger as a pen, wrote stroke by stroke on Lin Mao's palm——

[They are anxious to find out what happened in Wangyou Valley, and now they are going to attack the big brother of the Wulin League! 】

The author has something to say: Ji Wuming: "Master, you finally think of me" ∠(?」∠)_
