Chapter 351: Escape Route

Chapter 351

Mo Jiuye was also not worried that Mr. Si Meng would wake up immediately. He knew the power of this anesthetic gun that his wife used better than anyone else. It could make people fall into a deep coma for at least a few hours.

Since he did not find anything unusual about the surrounding furniture and walls, the only thing left was the wooden bed in the room.

He lifted all the bedding on the bed, and as expected, something was revealed.

He stepped to the head of the bed. The wood planks there showed obvious signs of being loose.

Mo Jiuye lifted the planks, revealing a black hole that could allow a person to come in and out.

Based on past experience, such places were likely to be passages connecting to the outside world.

The passage was next to the other bedside plank, with a small dark box. At this moment, the light was just right, and Mo Jiuye saw at a glance that there were several small porcelain bottles placed in the dark box.

Without thinking, these small porcelain bottles must contain various poisons. As for Gu worms, they would definitely not be placed here.

Because Gu raisers regarded Gu worms as treasures, no matter how many they raised, they would carry them with them.

There were more than a dozen large and small porcelain bottles. Mo Jiuye casually tore off a sheet and wrapped these small porcelain bottles in it.

After tidying these up, Mo Jiuye did not rashly enter to investigate. Although Mr. Si Meng was in a coma, he was still lying outside clearly. If someone found him, Mo Jiuye's previous efforts would be in vain.

Therefore, he had to take Mr. Si Meng with him when entering the secret passage. No matter where the exit of the secret passage was, he could not give the other party any chance to escape.

There were many uncertain factors when entering the secret passage, and Mo Jiuye did not dare to take it lightly.

Most importantly, Fifth Elder Brother and Sixth Elder Brother were still waiting for him outside the Ninth Prince's Mansion. If he did not meet with his two elder brothers in time, they would definitely think something had happened to him, so doing something impulsive would be a great loss.

Thinking of this, Mo Jiuye took out paper and pen from the table and started writing:

[Fifth Elder Brother and Sixth Elder Brother, everything is going well. I discovered a secret passage and will enter to investigate first. Later I will let Little White send you the latest location.]

After finishing the note, he rolled it into a small paper roll and went out to call Little White.

He tied the note to Little White's leg and gently stroked its snow-white feathers.

"Little White, take this note to Fifth Elder Brother and Sixth Elder Brother, then come find me, okay?"

It was the first time Mo Jiuye had let Little White deliver a letter. To be honest, with just these simple words, he was not sure if Little White could understand.

However, he did not need to worry about Little White's whereabouts. His wife had said that once it recognized its master, no matter where its master was, it could find him, unless it was trapped by some accident and unable to escape.

Watching Little White fly farther and farther away, Mo Jiuye then went to Mr. Si Meng.

Gently pushing open the door, a courtyard appeared before his eyes.

In contrast to the cleanliness of the room, weeds could be seen everywhere in the yard. It was obvious that this place had been abandoned.

However, the indistinct traces extending from the front gate towards the houses caught Mo Jiuye's attention.

This was not really abandoned, but someone would occasionally walk around.

Because he could clearly see that some weeds had been broken off.

Obviously, these were traces left by someone stepping on them.

But it made sense to think about it. Since Mr. Si Meng could live in a courtyard with an underground passage, it was understandable that he could leave from here when necessary.

Mo Jiuye first sensed the surrounding movement. After making sure there was no danger, he walked out of the yard.

After all, it was an unfamiliar place. Even with Mo Jiuye's strong sense of direction, he could not accurately determine his location.

In any case, he had to take Mr. Si Meng with him to leave. He had to figure out the route clearly so as not to make any mistakes.

Mo Jiuye was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he used his lightness skill to leap up high and look around.

The scene that met his eyes was one he was most familiar with. When he was little, he and Nan Qi often secretly came here to play.

As it turned out, this was the Qing River less than one mile from the capital.

Apart from the conversation he just overheard between the Ninth Prince and Mr. Si Meng, just based on the exit of this secret passage, he could determine the Ninth Prince's intentions.

It was obvious that this was an escape route arranged by the Ninth Prince for himself after hiding his abilities for many years.

This showed how deep his thoughts were.

While he was lost in thought, Little White flew back and landed steadily on his shoulder.

Mo Jiuye subconsciously glanced at Little White's leg, and the note was gone.

He knew that Little White had successfully completed its first task. He was about to praise it when two figures approached swiftly from afar.

The arrivals were none other than Fifth Elder Brother and Sixth Elder Brother.

After catching his breath for a moment, Sixth Elder Brother said, "I have to say, Fifth Elder Brother was right that following this little guy would lead us to Ninth Younger Brother. He really got it right.

"Only, this fellow flies so fast that we two elder brothers almost got thrown off by it."
