372. Success in stealing treasure;(1/2)

Nangong Heng sat quietly in the room where Chu Mingze lived, leaned over, picked up a fallen pearl from the corner of the table, wiped it clean with a tablecloth, and made it warm and shiny.

I still remember that Wanwan was not born yet, Ye Ling was in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Ye Chen was in the Western Xia Dynasty. He specially prepared a large box of pearls and asked someone to send them to the Eastern Jin Dynasty as a gift to his sister.

But he was cut off by Chu Mingze halfway, and later the box of pearls became Xiao Aoyue's toy.

Wanwan really has no feelings for pearls. She likes all kinds of gems, jade, and Xiao Aoyue loves pearls very much.

For a moment, Nangong Heng missed his baby daughter so much...

Footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Ten Elders, the Young Master is invited."

Nangong Heng put away his thoughts, put the pearl on the table, and got up and went out.

As long as you pass the first level, gain trust, and then you will find that you are disguised, it is extremely unlikely, because the disguise medicines used by Nangong Heng have no smell, and as long as there is no abnormality in words and deeds, it will not cause doubt.

When he met Yu Wei, he had a guest there.

She is a woman of eighteen or nineteen years old. She is dressed in red, with cold eyebrows and delicate makeup.

"See the young master." Nangong Heng looked at Yu Wei without looking sideways.

Yu Wei waved his hand: "No need to be polite." After saying that, he turned to look at the woman, "Shangguan Meng, this is the Ten Elders."

Nangong Heng bowed and was kind-hearted: "Ms. Shangguan."

"Where is my elder brother?" Shangguan Meng spoke and looked at Nangong Heng and asked.

Her eldest brother is Shangguan Ming. When Nangong Heng and Yu Wei talked about the incident, they did not forget Shangguan Ming, a fellow traveler. After he talked about Kaiyuan City, Shangguan Ming parted ways with them and acted on their own.

With the same remarks, Nangong Heng told Shangguan Meng.

"My elder brother came to the Yu family and has not returned yet. You want to pass it off without knowing anything?" Shangguan Meng asked coldly.

Before Nangong Heng said anything, Yu Wei snorted coldly: "Shangguan Meng, you're enough! This is the Yu family, not the Shangguan family! Pay attention to your words! Young Master Shangguan is so magnificent, where he wants to go is not something we can control! Just because he has been to the Yu family before, the Yu family is responsible for his whereabouts? It's ridiculous! He proposed to go to Kaiyuan City to deal with those who pretend to be Shangguan family. You want to find him and go to Kaiyuan City!"

"I will go to Kaiyuan City." Shangguan Meng said with a cold face, "Let him go with me."

Nangong Heng was speechless when he saw Shangguan Meng pointing at him, but he was not worried, because Yu Wei obviously did not deal with Shangguan Meng, and his current identity was the only reincarnation Gu host in the Yu family.

"If you don't know the way, I can give you a map." Yu Wei said coldly, "I am busy with work today, so I will not send you off." After saying that, he said to Nangong Heng, "The Tenth Elder should do whatever he should do."

Nangong Heng nodded slightly and turned around and left.

Shangguan Meng did not leave the Yu family immediately, saying that she would leave tomorrow. Although Yu Wei did not like her, he would not drive her away due to the Shangguan family's face and ordered the servants to entertain her.

Nangong Heng and Ye Ling suspected that if Shangguan Ruo was reborn, he should have returned to Yu Wei. First of all, Yu Wei's wife Gong is suspected, and secondly, Yu Wei's three concubines may also be reborn by Shangguan Ruo.

However, all Nangong Heng’s understanding of Shangguan Ruo comes from Mo Fengliu and Nangong Yu. More than 20 years have passed. If Shangguan Ruo is alive and has changed his body, his personality may not have changed at all. It is difficult to find her among these four women. Because Nangong Heng has no reason to contact Yu Wei’s women.

Of course, this was not the purpose of Nangong Heng's trip, so he directly ignored this matter.

At night, Nangong Heng had dinner and before he went out to walk around, he sat in the room to practice.

Until midnight, Nangong Heng opened his eyes and looked at the open window.

The bright moon is clear and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

Nangong Heng stood up, breathed a little relieved, took off his outer robe, which contained a set of night clothes. He put on his mask and flew out silently from the window.

The big branches in the yard trembled for a moment and soon returned to peace.

There is a forest behind the Yu family, and there is a seven-story tower deep in the woods. Last night, Nangong Heng sneaked into the Yu family for the first time and did not approach it rashly. But if nothing unexpected happens, he thinks there is something he is looking for inside, but there must be a master's supervision.

The tower is the target, but it is dangerous to break in directly. After alerting the enemy, it is unlikely to succeed. No matter how strong Nangong Heng is, he is only one person. He is in the territory of the Yu family and does not know much about this.

There is another problem. Even if you break into the tower, the seventh floor is so large that you can't confirm where the most important thing is placed in a short period of time.

However, after seeing the dense woods around the tower last night, Nangong Heng had a plan to attack with fire.

The advantage of bows and arrows is that they can attack from a long range and are safer. However, generally bows and arrows are very large and difficult to hide, and Nangong Heng does not carry them either. But he has a hidden weapon, the small crossbow worn on his arm was improved and manufactured by him at Ye Ling's suggestion, and it was extremely fast.

Nangong Heng quickly made more than a dozen flammable "arrows" in the woods with stolen cotton tung oil and dried branches. It was said that it was an arrow, but in fact it was a flammable cotton ball tied to the stick.

Nangong Heng flew over a tree with his equipment, closed his eyes and waited quietly.

In the middle of the night, Nangong Heng opened his eyes, lit the fire, and shot arrows.

The fireball passed through the woods and hit the fourth floor of the tower.

Nangong Heng immediately flew away, changed direction, and shot the second fireball.

Then, continue to change and continue to shoot.

Everything happened very quickly. Nangong Heng shuttled through the woods, turned a big circle, and shot most of the fireballs into the fourth floor. In this way, the targets were concentrated and in the middle, and it was difficult to put out the fire. Looking from a distance, the fourth floor was blocked by the woods and would not be discovered for a while.

The masters who guard the tower generally either are on the first floor or on the highest floor, not in the middle. When the tower guards notice it, there will be a time difference.

There were still some "arrows" left, and Nangong Heng shot on the nearest trees around the tower. He looked at the wind direction and aimed at the position to ensure that he could burn as quickly as possible.

After all Nangong Heng's "arrows" were shot out, a roar of full air and anger came from the tower: "Come on! There's a fire! There's an assassin!"

Nangong Heng hid silently on a big tree not far from the tower. It could not be burned, but he could see the movements on the other side of the tower.

The loud roar resounded throughout the Yu Mansion. The fire was getting bigger and bigger. People who were awakened in the middle of the night came out one after another, and they could already see the fire and rushed over.

However, because of Nangong Heng's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, most of the elders and masters of the Yu family were rushing to Qin on the sea, and there were not many masters left.

When Yu Wei received the report, he ran out in disheveled clothes. Seeing the blazing fire on the other side of the tower, his expression changed drastically: "Go and put out the fire! Put out the fire! All the things inside must be rescued!"

The Yu family was in chaos, and no one noticed whether the Tenth Elder came or not. They all rushed to put out the fire and rescue the things in the tower.

Nangong Heng continued to stare until he saw a white-haired old man holding a big bag and rushing out of the seventh floor of the tower in anger.

There are constantly experts who are not afraid of the fire and fly into the tower to rescue the things inside. Some people come to put out the fire with buckets and basins.

The elder guarding the tower landed in a safe place, watching the fire spread rapidly and the smoke rolled. The master who entered covered his mouth and nose and came out again, his face was extremely gloomy, and the bag in his arms was tighter. He turned his head suddenly and flew in one direction.

Nangong Heng followed quietly and saw Elder Shouta finally reach Yu Wei's residence and kneel on one knee.

"Elder Jin! Can the most important thing be saved?" Yu Wei asked anxiously.

Elder Jin raised the bag in his arms and handed it to Yu Wei: "Young Master, these are all Gu prescriptions and Gu books. I'm afraid that all the other Gu records will be gone."

Yu Wei took the big bag and said coldly: "Damn it! Check it out quickly, who is at work! You must catch the arsonist! You must not let him run away!"

Elder Jin took the order and left. Yu Wei returned to the room with the big bag, placed it on the table, sat down, clenched his fists and smashed the table hard, his face turned pale with anger!

Nangong Heng hid in the dark, watched Elder Jin leave, walked around the back window, and sneaked into Yu Wei's room.

After Yu Wei's rebirth, his strength was greatly reduced. When he suddenly realized something was wrong, Nangong Heng was only one meter away from him.

Yu Wei opened his mouth and had not made any sound yet. The ink silk shot out from Nangong Heng's sleeve, wrapping around his neck!

Yu Wei widened his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and had difficulty breathing, staring at Nangong Heng's face.

Nangong Heng deliberately did not wear a mask, so what Yu Wei saw was the tenth elder Yue You who he was familiar with.

Nangong Heng didn't say anything nonsense, went forward, slashed Yu Wei with one palm, picked up the big bag, and left along the same path.

Nangong Heng wanted to go directly, but passed by a palace and there was no one below. He changed his mind and went downstairs for a while.

This is the residence of the head of the family Yu Lin. His wife Gong does not live here on weekdays. As a master of mechanical skills, Nangong Heng found the secret room in Yu Lin's room without any effort. After opening it, there was a bed inside, and there was a man of similar age to Yu Lin on the bed, who was unconscious.

This must be the host prepared by Yu Lin for himself. Nangong Heng saw that he had a very outstanding appearance, unlike ordinary people who came out, so he decided to take this person away. He didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he could not kill innocent people.

In addition, there is a secret wall in the secret room. When Nangong Heng opened it, he saw a locked wooden box inside. It couldn't be pried open for a while, so he stuffed it into the bag and took it away.

No other valuable things were found, Nangong Heng pulled the man up, carried it on his back, tore the bed tent and tied it to him, then tied the bag to his chest, left the secret room, and heard that there was no movement outside, leaving the same way.

At this time, the Yu family was still busy putting out the fire. Suddenly, a scream came from Yu Wei's residence, and Nangong Heng left quickly.

"Someone stole the Yu family's treasure and locked the city! Tie the island! Search immediately!" Gong said sternly.

Yu Wei woke up quietly, and his memory regained. His face was distorted and he said gritting his teeth: "It's the Ten Elder! It's the bitch Yue You! It's him!"

The tower was completely trapped in the sea of ​​fire, and the surrounding woods were rippling, and people could no longer enter.

Yu Wei ordered to arrest Yue You!

When Yu Wei found that there was not enough manpower, he finally realized that he had been trapped in the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain! He ordered people to quickly leave the island and chase the elders and masters who left this morning, so that they could all come back! The house really caught fire!

Nangong Heng carried a man and a big bag and went up to the highest mountain on the continent. After reaching the edge of the cliff, he found the rope he hid there last night and climbed onto the rope.

The Yizhou Island is blocked, and only this road can be taken. There are no boats under the cliff, and the bags that Nangong Heng stole were filled with books that could not be touched. He first hid the person and bags on his back in a stone cave, and then jumped into the sea to swim elsewhere.

Nangong Heng circled around Yizhou Island last night and knew where there were boats nearest. This is the boat of ordinary people on Yizhou Island. They are used to go out to sea for fishing, so they lean on the shore. Nangong Heng took away a small boat on the periphery, but did not attract attention. Because this island is not small, the so-called guards cannot monitor every place in a dense manner.

Back at the bottom of the cliff, Nangong Heng put the man and his bag on the boat. Just as he was about to leave, he fell from the sky and landed on the bow of the boat.

Looking at the back, it was a woman. Nangong Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw the visitor turn around and sneered: "You go out with the head of the Yu family and come back alone. The news you brought away has attracted most of the elders and masters of the Yu family. If you lure the tiger away from the mountain, you can deceive Yu Wei, that stupid fool!"

It was the eldest lady of the Shangguan family who came to the Yu family today to find Shangguan Ming, who had not left yet, and Shangguan Meng.

Nangong Heng looked faint: "What do you think about Miss Shangguan?"

"I have seen everything you did tonight." Shangguan Meng said coldly, "I want to survive and leave things behind!"

"I thought Miss Shangguan was really here to find her brother, so I'm going to kill her by the way?" Nangong Heng chuckled.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Shangguan Meng drew his sword.

"Okay, then there's nothing to talk about." Nangong Heng nodded slightly and waved his hand.
To be continued...
