Book 5 Chapter 2 – Big Hiding Place in the City
Were it not for Susu had once come with Zhai Jiao to call on Shen Luoyan, even if they had her address in hand, perhaps they would have to waste considerable time before they could find this vicious and rant residence
Shen Luoyan’s house was located in a residential area by the eastern city wall, where the buildings were situated next to each other Including her residence, there were thousands of courtyards surrounded by walls with dark green bricks and dark green roof tiles, linked together by sh walls The alleys were narrow and winding; several hundred streets and alleys winding and turning, criss-crossing each other, and they all paved with large dark green flagstone, which looked virtually the sa the snow, the three people arrived here and felt that that they were entering a maze; it was difficult to tell one street froht, where the only light they could rely on was the dis; it felt even host area
But they felt unusually safe instead
Because in this kind of place, it would be very convenient for the slipped into an alley and said with a laugh, “That Shen Poniang must have a lot of enemies that she lives in this kind of place that willalso felt relaxed While walking and stretching at the sa’s lover [origto conduct house-to-house search, he gavehis horn; if he cao to that side How could he deal with Wulina lingering fear, “Can you not be so carried away like that?” she said, “The people of Xingyang are all fervent supporters of Wagang Aruarantee that he will report it to the already had his arms around her waist and whisked her up to the roof of a building on the left Xu Ziling also leaped at the same time
The three of them lay low on the roof and looked doard thesnowflakes, all they saas quiet, silent and lonely footprints
Susu was baffled, “Is there anybody here?” she asked
Kou Zhong replied in low voice, “My intuition can’t be wrong It’s really strange, how come I can’t even see anybody’s shadow, I can’t hear anybody’s voice, but I can feel that there is danger approaching?”
Xu Ziling nodded and said, “I also feel a warning in my heart Look!”
They saw a squad of about a dozen warriors in dark green clothes, co the way they knocked on every door Needless to say, obviously they were looking for the three people
Watching these men, the three people felt their scalp went numb This Xu shi+ji apparently someone who did what he said he would By the tiitives, they would not be able towere not ordinary people, their look was particularly easy to recognize, to conceal it fro the heavens
After the search party went far, the three of them cried out inwardly, ‘What a close shave!’ If it were not for the heavy snow, Xu shi+ji only needed to send his e points, while the other tea house-to-house search, and then even if the three people greings, it would still be difficult for theht now the weather was bitterly cold, plus visibility was very low, naturally Xu shi+ji’shis teeth, Kou Zhong said, “All along we only receive beatings without being able to hit back, greatly daons Since we have Daiqing Lou’s Peipei as our way out, wehis mother’s trouble that will turn the sky and the earth upside down, and thus venting the resentment in our hearts”
Susu was extre of a bow]; overwhelmed with horror, she said, “How can you do that? How can you fight thereatly excited; he said in a low voice, “If you want to be fae However, we’d better find a dependable hiding place first beforeexcitedly said
As soon as Susu was perched on Kou Zhong’s back, he brought her soaring into the air like a big bird
She suddenly had a feeling that she did not have clear understanding of these two brothers of hers If it were other people, they would either be so terrified that they pulled their heads like a turtle and refused to come out, or with a thousand ways, a hundred plans would try to escape without a trace How could they be like these two boys, ere fully aware that the eneer than theirs, yet they still had the courage to ‘strike back’, just like striking a stone with an egg?
Looking at Shen Luoyan’s fragrant residence from the outside, there was really no difference frohborhood, only the door decoration was co off door and walls of the next door neighbor’s
But the inside was a different story altogether Not only it was spacious, elegant and pure, the garden and courtyard were integrated into one continuous entity, the layout gave a beautiful and secluded iinal architecture, and was quite distinctive
The house was called Luoyan Zhuang [lit falling wild goose manor], where the manor’s courtyard was dominated by the main residence hall; water and rock in contrast with one another, pathways and winding corridor were running through rock garden, which also function as separator The winding path went up and dohat is true and what is false engendered one another
North of the pond was a s on a hilltop, with five continuous pillars over two levels, and overhanging eaves, like butterfly flapping its wings ready to fly; very unique Shen Luoyan’s boudoir was precisely in that building
Behind the s was an artificial strea the rear court with the maids and servants’ apart did not cover too large of a land, but it was just like a remote, secluded area; sihly poetic
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling jumped over the sidewall into the courtyard,in awe It never occurred to them that Shen Luoyan was the type of person who kne to enjoy life, her dwelling was rather like a ‘Big Hiding Place in the Alley’
Not too long afterwards, Kou Zhong already gathered the infor maids, and a pair of husband and wife servants, none of which knew martial art
The three people finally settled on hiding in a guest roo ti was that this roo they needed The three were not bashful; after drinking enough stolen tea, they fell asleep i were awakened because they heard unusual noise, the day has already brightened
Kou Zhongon his chest, walked over to the , and peeked outside Turned out it was the onlythe snow on the yard
Xu Ziling also got out of bed came over to him; he whispered, “The snow has stopped!”
Without averting his gaze, Kou Zhong asked, “Are you hungry?”
“Hungry as hell!” Xu Ziling replied
Kou Zhong whispered, “We can’t steal food in here, otherwise they will discover us Let o out to take care of the food and then I’ll co to the street could be very dangerous”
Kou Zhong laughed, “Don’t worry!” he said, “As long as the three of us don’t walk together, it won’t be that conspicuous I’ll even scout around for the news”
Xu Ziling knew that Kou Zhong was full of craft and cunning, plus he has been hungry since last night, so after warning hio, the sooner you’ll co consented; he then sneaked out of the rear
Having nothing to do, Xu Ziling was about to sit cross-legged silently, when froe!”
Xu Ziling was startled; he jurant lips
Susu woke up As soon as she regained her consciousness, her pretty eyes i lifted up his hand, she cried out in low voice, “The ene shook his head, “But Jiejie was talking in your sleep I was just afraid youthe snow outside”
Susu was relieved, but then her char face turned red as she said, “What did I say in !” he said indifferently, “It was practically so her brows, she asked, “Where is Xiao Zhong?”
After Xu Ziling told her, she began to worry again
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps approaching The two people were scared and busily folded the blankets back to their previous condition, and then they went into hiding under the bed
They were barely hidden when two young , as well as replacing the bedding with a fresh one
One of the ht full days, and last night Longtou Mansion was burned to the ground And now ru me really worried for Miss”
Under the bed, Xu Ziling mused that it was other people who should be worried; definitely not that Shen b1tch
The other hed and said, “Xiao Ju [li’l chrysantheht Duke Mi has just deployed the troops to take over Liyang Storehouse What happened to Longtou Mansion can’t be helped; who told old ghost Zhai to be so stubborn that he ada about competence, how could he be Duke Mi’s match?”
Xiao Ju was astounded, “How could Lan Jie [elder sister orchid] know so clearly?” she asked
Xiao Lan proudly replied, “Naturally sohed and said, “Must be that guy Li Jie, hee … hee … Have you slept with hi each other the two maids left the room

Xu Ziling and Susu crawled out of under the bed Breathing out a sigh of relief, Xu Ziling said, “Li Mi is gone!
