Chapter 155 Leader and Leader 04
On the day of the banquet at Xianyin Villa, many knight-errants or distinguished guests who had received invitations came early, and the flowing water seats were placed from the courtyard of the villa to the bamboo forest road outside the villa.
This ostentation can be said to make Zhu Huai more face. His new wife Xie Tingting is not only young and beautiful, but her father is also a well-known local businessman.Xie's family only had such a beloved daughter to marry, of course it was as beautiful as it wanted to be, and the dowry alone was already countless gold, silver and jewels.
Lin Xi didn't change her appearance, she just changed into a deep purple robe with snow-white fox fur gathered around her collar.Judging from that feminine, indifferent but unparalleled face, he has an air of aloof and unapproachable.
After getting off the carriage, he walked unhurriedly through the bamboo forest path, and the people around him unconsciously set their eyes on this noble man.When they arrived at the gate of the villa, the entourage who had been following behind them took out the invitation card from their arms and handed it to the servant at the gate.
The servants of Xianyin Villa were shocked when they saw the name on the invitation card, and respectfully invited him to the main hall to take a seat.
When he entered the main hall, the two people behind him immediately took the opportunity to check the terrain.The map of Xianyin Villa has long been familiar by heart, but for the sake of caution, let the subordinates go to the map first.
Soon they came back one after the other, and the terrain was not much different from what was described on the map.One of them should be the courtyard outside the study room, which is guarded and patrolled by several masters, and ordinary people can't get close to it easily.
If there are really invisible things hidden in the study room, then this battle is a bit eye-catching.After giving some instructions, Lin Xi focused all her attention on the banquet, switching glasses like a real guest at a wedding banquet.
After the wedding ceremony was over, the bride was helped back to the room, leaving only Zhu Huai, the owner of Xianyin Villa with a red face, drinking and laughing with the people at the wine table.
Dressed in a big red robe, full of joy, he held a wine glass and went to each table in the main hall to toast.In the end, he said at the gate of the villa, "Zhu thanked you all for your kindness, this cup is done first as a respect."
The deep voice with inner strength spread to every corner of the villa, and the guests who attended the wedding banquet stood up and raised their glasses to congratulate.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone in the hall was more or less drunk.Lin Xi's face was also stained a little pink, she stood up a little shaky and walked out of the hall holding her forehead.He looked natural, and no one in the hall paid attention to his movements.
Walking to the room prepared for the guests at Xianyin Villa, he saw two subordinates already waiting. He took off the white fox fur coat, put on a tight black suit that was easy to move, and then said, "The guards in the study are probably traps. , It may also be a feint. If I haven't come back after an hour, you should go explore this study and lure Zhu Huai away. His martial arts methods are unknown, you must be more careful."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
After speaking, Lin Xi put on the mask and walked towards the other direction of the study, which was Zhu Huai's bedroom.Their wedding room is not Zhu Huai's bedroom, but another more grand and spacious courtyard.
There weren't many guards here, so Lin Xi got into the bedroom while it was dark.This bedroom seemed to be nothing special. He tapped along the walls one by one, but found nothing special.
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the room, and scattered and numerous footsteps could be heard.Lin Xi frowned. After calculating the time, it was only half an hour. It shouldn't be her own person, so it means that someone else is also planning on Xianyin Villa?
Before he could finish thinking, he felt a burst of breath coming from behind.He turned around and shot, but stopped after a few strokes. He took off his mask and frowned and asked, "Xiao Shenzhi, why are you here!"
The man also wearing night clothes took off his mask and said helplessly, "I went back to the Martial Arts League to check some things about the former leader, and found some new clues. I know you will come tonight after a little guesswork."
"You also caused the movement outside?"
Xiao Shenzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm not such a reckless person, but I know who came..."
Before he could say the following words, Xiao Shenzhi suddenly hugged Lin Xi and hid in the gap between the bookcase and the corner of the wall.There is no gap between the two, as if the aura between the two is going to blend together.
The sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps outside the courtyard was getting closer, and the bright torches could be seen through the window paper.After a while, someone pushed open the door, took a few glances inside, and then closed the door and left.
The voice of the person and the sound of footsteps went further and further away until the movement became quieter, and then Lin Xi pushed the person on him away forcefully.Then I found that there seemed to be something wrong with this bookshelf. After pushing it, I couldn't move it at all.
Xiao Shenzhi stood aside and quietly watched him study the things on the bookshelf, he saw him move carefully and then heard a sound like bricks moving.
Lin Xi lifted the carpet, and a dark tunnel appeared in front of the two of them.
Before going in, Lin Xi glanced at Xiao Shenzhi. Although he felt that the other party would not listen even if he told him, he still had to say it again, "Generally, tunnels with hidden secrets are full of traps when they are opened. I don't think you really need to follow him." I'll go on an adventure together."
Sure enough, Xiao Shenzhi shook his head lightly, "Xi'er, I don't like your attitude of excluding me in everything. If you know me well enough, you should know how stubborn I am."
Now that the matter has come to this point, Lin Xi didn't say anything more, and walked into the tunnel first.
The whole journey went smoothly, until the first fork in the road appeared, Lin Xi's expression became a little strange.He went up to the wall and pressed a few times, and then saw a door appear at one of the intersections with a 'wow', sealing the intersection.
Lin Xi walked towards another intersection without much hesitation. Although Xiao Shenzhi was a little puzzled, he still followed him.Lin Xi easily deciphered some formations that appeared in the tunnel behind, and then went to the end smoothly.
It was a relatively spacious and bright lobby, with bright candles, and four huge night pearls were inlaid on the four corners of the wall for lighting.On the plaque in the middle there are three characters of "Xuanwujiao", and a fiery red totem on the wall is particularly conspicuous.
Lin Xi frowned and stared at the totem that was almost the same style as the Fire Emblem, thinking that Zhu Huai was planning to develop the old Xuanyan Sect into a new Demon Sect?
Walking into the inner room, there are many files stacked on the shelves.They checked one by one, but they were all innocuous things, until Xiao Shenzhi found a wooden box in the dark compartment.
There was a thick stack of account books and letters inside the box, and they were shocked after a rough look.The amount that Zhu Huai has blackmailed from other people over the years is shocking, and the number of people who have been in contact with him is even more numerous.
Turning to the end, I even saw the money he had exchanged with the former martial arts leader and those who participated in that incident ten years ago. Among them, several letters stated how he planned and what purpose he was for.
What Zhu Huai did was far more than that, but they didn't have time to search carefully. When they put away the books and letters and were about to leave——
"It seems that you guys know something you shouldn't know, so I, Zhu, can't easily let the two of you go."
Lin Xi looked at him with a cold face, "Zhu Huai, no, Ning Huaizhi! You are originally from the former Xuanyan sect, so why do you have any grudge against my Lin family for doing such a thing!"
Hearing the word 'Lin family', Zhu Huai couldn't help laughing, "If the Lin family hadn't seduced the saint, how could she have degenerated into persuading the leader to go into business? This is really the best thing I've heard in my life. It’s a joke, we are the devil’s religion, we should do what the devil’s religion wants to do! Once the three words of Xuanyan religion made people fearful, and the leader would agree to such a ridiculous request?! So everyone in the Lin family deserves to die !"
He looked crazy, and then calmed down again, "If you don't show up, you can still survive for decades, but now, I'm afraid you won't have that chance! And you can also solve a martial arts leader by the way, today's luck is not bad .”
Xiao Shenzhi's expression turned cold, "You won't get what you want."
"Then let's try it." Zhu Huai stood at the door and looked at them from a distance. He stretched out his hand and pressed on the wall, only to see that the layout of the study suddenly changed.The bookshelf next to it automatically moved into the dark compartment on the wall, and then the walls on both sides began to shrink towards the middle.
Then Zhu Huai closed the door of the inner room and let them fend for themselves.
The speed of the wall's movement is not very fast, Lin Xi estimates that it can last for less than half an hour, Zhu Huai is trying to drive them crazy in despair.
Lin Xi was groping in the only space, and while she was highly concentrated, cold sweat kept breaking out from her forehead.
Zhu Huai sat outside, drinking tea unhurriedly, and could still feel the sinister gaze with his eyes downcast.Then he said as if talking to himself, "If you think you have found a way out, then you will definitely enjoy the despair from upgrading to death. I really look forward to seeing your dead face."
How desperate that must be.
