Chapter 162 Summary Accurate
As Ge Tianrong said, he really knows these things very well.
Ye Anlan only waited for him for less than 20 breaths, and Ge Tianrong had already broken the five elements and eight trigrams formation in the yard.
At the same time, a row of feathered arrows also shot out from the wall next to them, piercing towards Ye Anlan and Ge Tianrong.
Ge Tianrong was covered in white sweat from fright. He subconsciously looked at Ye Anlan, but was thrown by Ye Anlan, directly to Yang Xiaotao who was guarding outside.
At the same time, Ye Anlan was already lying faceless on the ground.
She was young and thin, and those feathered arrows flew past her clothes and the tip of her nose, scaring Ge Tianrong and Yang Xiaotao to call "girl" at the same time.
"It's okay, I can't hit me." Ye Anlan chose to lie down after calculating the height between the ground and the bottom row of feather arrows, so her tone was quite calm at this time.
"Thought there was some great trick, so it's just a row of feather arrows?" Seeing that there was no movement in the courtyard, Ye Anlan slowly got up, stretched out her hand and patted the dust on her clothes vigorously.
Yang Xiaotao couldn't wait to run over, "Girl, are you really alright?"
Ye Anlan smiled, "Didn't you see it all? It's just covered in dust."
Yang Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I was scared to death by you just now."
Ye Anlan patted her arm, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's hurry up and find out what's going on in this yard."
Yang Xiaotao nodded vigorously, and the master and servant turned one to the left and the other to the right in tacit understanding, and began to explore the third courtyard of the house separately.
"Girl! Girl! There are two corpses floating in this lake!"
Ye Anlan had just found a dark room hidden in the Small Buddha Hall, when Yang Xiaotao's loud exclamation came from the northeast corner of the yard.
She glanced at the dark and cramped interior of the dark room, weighed it for a moment, and finally turned around and went to Yang Xiaotao's side first.
After she left, two figures sneaked out of the dark room of the Buddhist hall.
When Ye Anlan heard the slight sound of footsteps coming from the room, the corners of her lips twitched slightly.
She glanced at Wen Liuniang who was standing outside the house like a shadow, Wen Liuniang nodded slightly, and Ye Anlan strode straight to the lake.
"It's two servant girls." The bodies were floating in the lake, Yang Xiaotao couldn't see their faces clearly, so she could only judge their identities based on their clothes.
Ye Anlan said "Yes", "There are only seven people living in this mansion on weekdays, the concierge, two maids, and four servants around them. Now we have found a maid, a woman, and two servants. A servant girl, and a concubine, a woman, and a concierge."
The servant who followed tremblingly added subconsciously, "Old Yang, the concierge, took leave three days ago and went back to his hometown in the countryside, saying that his grandson married his wife yesterday."
Ye Anlan glanced at him, "The only thing missing is Mrs. Xiao and her confidant wife."
After speaking, she turned her gaze to the door of the Buddhist hall. There, Wen Liuniang was pointing at two young men, a man and a woman, with a sword, signaling them to walk this way.
Following her line of sight, the servant immediately recognized the young woman with disheveled hair and a bit of a mess, "Xiao, Mrs. Xiao?"
The young woman raised her head subconsciously, and when she saw the servant's face, she suddenly became very ugly.
But soon, she discovered that what the servant brought was not the person she thought, but two strange teenagers in armor.
She pursed her lips, and continued walking towards Ye Anlan and the others without saying a word.
Ye Anlan glanced at the young man beside her with a look of disgust, "Run if you want, why are you killing so many people?"
The young man hung his head slightly and said nothing, Wen Liuniang was so angry that he patted his shoulder with a rapier, "Talk back!"
"We don't want to either." Mrs. Xiao subconsciously stood between Wen Liuniang and the young man, "At first we just wanted to run away together, but they found out that Goro was, was a man, Mrs. Liu threatened me, Xiang Xiang beside her Mom stopped us from leaving, I... I was scared, Goro just said that
She hesitated, but the servant who always felt the man's face was familiar suddenly exclaimed, "You, you are Mama Sun?"
Ye Anlan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Mom?"
The servant's face became very strange, "That's, Mrs. Xiao's confidant woman."
Ye Anlan:
Yang Xiaotao stared wide-eyed, "A man disguised as a woman? An affair?"
Ye Anlan gave her a thumbs up, "The summary is very precise."
The young man interjected angrily, "We are an unmarried couple who grew up together as childhood sweethearts, why did Hong Xing come out and talk about it?"
Ye Anlan:
She asked Mrs. Xiao, "So, you were brought here by force?"
Madam Xiao's face became more and more ugly, she shook her head lightly, "My father sent me here voluntarily."
Her family was originally a merchant in the city, and has been in the restaurant business since her grandfather.
Because of the war, the price of everything to eat has skyrocketed, and the lives of the people are becoming more and more difficult day by day, and fewer and fewer people can afford restaurants. In addition, the rebels in the city always eat for free, which leads to her family's restaurant Business is getting worse day by day.
In order to find a way out for the dozen or so members of the family, her father dug doors and robbed holes in order to cling to a certain powerful leader of the rebel army.
It so happened that she had a good-looking appearance, and the family of Sun Wulang, who was originally engaged to her, fell into poverty, and even Sun Wulang was the only one left in the family.
Her father didn't want her to marry Sun Wulang, who only had a good face left, so he cruelly gave her to the biggest rebel leader in the local area as a concubine.
Mrs. Xiao begged and resisted, and Sun Wulang also came to beg for permission, but Father Xiao was determined and insisted on sending his daughter to cling to the so-called "noble man" that their family could rely on.
A pair of lovers had nowhere to go, but they didn't want to go their separate ways, so Sun Wulang took advantage of his not-so-masculine appearance and put on a slight disguise to enter this outer house with Mrs. Xiao.
After listening to Mrs. Xiao's cry, Ye Anlan said:
To be honest, she doesn’t quite understand these two _(:з」∠)_
But if you don't understand it, you don't understand it. Ye Anlan didn't mean to comment on other people's choices.
She was more interested in why they were able to break the simple formation in the courtyard.
"Wu Lang has read the book, and knows how to get around the formation in this yard without triggering the mechanism." Mrs. Xiao said here, with a hint of tenderness and pride in her brows, "He originally wanted to take me and Huaping to leave through the back door quietly, but in the end But my heart softened for a moment, and I took Mrs. Liu's maid along with me."
Ye Anlan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Mrs. Xiao wiped her tears, "That girl is cruel. We passed by the lake, and she stretched out her hand to push me into the lake. In order to protect me, Huaping stretched out her hand and pulled the girl, but she used too much force. Fell into the lake with that girl."
Ye Anlan was noncommittal, but Yang Xiaotao was quick-spoken, "Then why don't you think of a way to rescue her?"
