Chapter 492 Stealing Books

Zhao Yuan walked down the steps. The woman in the yard heard the movement behind her back and turned her head. She found that the person coming was Zhao Yuan. Her face was immediately happy and she hurriedly stood up, saying happily: "My benefactor!"

Immediately afterwards, he shouted to the house: "Honey, come out quickly and see who is coming!"

A moment later, a person came out of the house. This person was the thief. At this moment, he was wearing coarse cloth clothes and apron was tied in front. When he came out, he saw that Zhao Yuan was actually rubbing his hand on the apron and said happily: "So it's my benefactor! Come, sit inside!"

Zhao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "No need, just sit by the lake, and then we want to talk to you!"

The thief king also understood people, and he knew it was important to listen to his meaning. Otherwise, how could he find his place to live? Then he came in person. So he nodded slightly, found two chairs, and brewed tea.

As for the two disciples of Shang Qianfei, they were already standing outside the entire courtyard, making sure that no one was close to here and heard the conversation of several people.

Zhao Yuan sat on the chair, looked at the lake in front of him, and smiled and said, "You really know how to choose a place, this is a good place!"

The thief king also sat next to Zhao Yuan, handed over the tea in his hand, and said, "I came here at the beginning, so after retreating, I chose this place."

Zhao Yuan nodded slightly. He had already made up his mind before, but he couldn't bear to see his family happy.

The thief king glanced at Zhao Yuan slightly and said, "If it weren't for you and Miss Cang, well, it should be said that the second wife rescued us, there wouldn't be such a day now. So all this is thankful to you. We and my husband are very grateful. If there is anything I need to serve, just speak up, and my hiding place will not be easily found!"

Zhao Yuanjian said it first and said, "You are not found by me, but Zuiyu Pavilion!"

The thief king said in surprise: "Zuiyu Pavilion, haha... I didn't expect there would be such an honor."

Zhao Yuan said: "Actually, there is something important to come to you today, or it should be something to ask for it, but once you agree, Concubine Su... Well, your wife and children cannot stay here, I must ensure their safety!"

The thief king was silent for a moment and said, "The target power this time is very powerful?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes!"

The thief king continued: "Where did you get something from them this time, instead of destroying them?"

Zhao Yuan nodded again and said, "Yes!"

The thief said: "You asked my wife and children to leave because you were afraid that they would take revenge?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Yes!"

The thief said: "Then I don't know where you plan to place them?"

Zhao Yuan said: "You have been to that place, Mount Emei, Yinyue Sect!"

The thief Zhanyan smiled and said, "I'll make arrangements right away and let them set off tomorrow."

Zhao Yuan said: "You don't ask where we are going this time?"

The thief said: "No need to ask, as long as my wife and children are safe, it will be the same everywhere you go! And since you are talking about Yinyue Sect, then of course I believe you, and there are not many sects in the world who dare to cause trouble for Yinyue Sect."

Zhao Yuan said: "Don't worry about it along the way, the people from Zuiyu Pavilion are escorted."

Shang Qianfei, who had not spoken aside, also said at this moment: "I have sent someone to notify other disciples of Zuiyu Pavilion to escort your wife and children to arrive at Yinyue Sect smoothly!"

The thief laughed and said, "Then I'll feel relieved. You guys wait for a while, I'll go and say something to the wife and let them clean up!"

After saying that, he got up and went back to the house, where only Zhao Yuan and Shang Qianfei were left.

Zhao Yuan looked at the lake and the undulating mountains in the distance and said, "If you escort them back this time, can you arrange for the doctor to accompany you? His child is too young, and he has been exhausted just now. I have to worry about the safety along the way. I can't stand the slightest problem!"

Shang Qianfei said: "You can rest assured about this. I have made some arrangements for this. They are returning home to visit relatives and officials. Tomorrow morning, the carriages and servants will arrive here. In order to reassure the thief, we will set off after they want to leave."

Zhao Yuan said: "Miss Xie Shang, you are still thoughtful!"

Shang Qianfei smiled and asked, "What about it compared to Sister Liu?"

Now that I was really asked, Zhao Yuan didn't know how to answer, but Shang Qianfei smiled and said, "Okay, I know you can't answer, so I won't ask more questions!"

Here, the thief king found his wife and explained it briefly. She didn't say much, and immediately went to pack up her things. It was a year since she was rescued and lived in seclusion here. This year was the most precious and best memory for her!

Although she didn't want to leave, she had to leave herself. Since the people from Zuiyu Pavilion could find this place, it means that others could find it. In comparison, Yinyue Sect is indeed a very easy place to find, but there are very few people in the world who dare to go to Yinyue Sect.

They can ignore their own safety, but they cannot ignore their children's safety. They say that once they have children, they will feel weak, and perhaps the same is true for both of them.

The next morning, as Shang Qianfei said, a carriage arrived here slowly. The carriage was not a kind of ragged carriage, but it looked relatively new. The horses pulling the carriage also looked like horses. In addition, there were no shortages of servants, maids, guards, etc., with a total of more than ten people. Zhao Yuan could also see that these people looked like servants on the surface, but in fact they were all good at kung fu, not mediocre, so he nodded in his heart.

The thief king directly sent his wife and children to the carriage, and then he watched his wife and children disappear at the end of the road in the carriage, turned around and asked, "So where are we going now!"

"Jinling!"

Zhao Yuan directly told his destination.

This place is not very far from Jinling. Two days later, the three of them arrived smoothly and found an inn near the Bai family to stay here. Here you can have a glimpse of the Bai family's door.

The Bai family is located in Jiuhua Mountain, and the entire Bai family building is built along the mountain.

Jiuhua Mountain has changed its name several times in history. It is named "Closed Zhoushan" because of its image as a reverse ship. Since this mountain is located north of the capital, the emperor used the "Four Gods" capital building model and once called this mountain "Xuanwu Mountain".

During the Six Dynasties, Zhoushan was an important barrier to the capital Jiankang. The palace city (Taicheng) was very close to Zhoushan. The land around Zhoushan belonged to the scope of the activities of the upper aristocrats. During the Six Dynasties, Zhoushan was located in the east, Qingxi River to the north, Houhu Lake to the west, Taicheng to the west, and it was only three miles in the circumference and only a hundred meters high. It was an ordinary hill. Although the mountain was not tall, its geographical location was very important. During the Eastern Wu period, there was a Xichi Lake south of Zhoushan, which was a garden that the descendants of the prince of the Eastern Wu, also known as Taizi Lake. During the Song Dynasty, it was called Xuanwu Mountain. One reason was that the mountain was in the north of the city, and the northern gate of the palace city was named Xuanwu Gate; the other reason was that the mountain was next to Xuanwu Lake, and there was a black dragon in Houhu in Yuanjia. It was thought that it was the god of Xuanwu, so it was named Houhu Lake as Xuanwu Lake, and the Zhoushan was called Xuanwu Mountain.

Later, Xuanwu Mountain became the home of the Bai family. After hundreds of years of operation, the Bai family had built many houses along the mountain, and in addition, they were constantly digging the mountain and building underground palaces, becoming the place where the ancestors of the Bai family had buried their bones.

After Zhao Yuan and the other two arrived, they did not go to inquire immediately, but stayed in the inn. The most urgent task now is to first figure out the arrangements of the Bai family, and they must also enter the Bai family's underground palace smoothly without disturbing those people.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to find the Bai family map and confirm where the ancestral hall is. Unfortunately, it is obvious that the three of them have never been to the Bai family, even the thief king! The thief king was very famous at the time and dared to break into the palace, but he did not break into the Bai family, so he knew nothing about the layout inside.

If you break into the Bai family, you must succeed in a moment. You cannot go back and forth. However, the Bai family's guard is not ordinary. If you are not careful, you will be alerted. Even the thief king is a little unsure of attention and dare not act rashly.

Just when the three of them were at a loss, the arrival of one person made them a little unexpected. This person was speechless, and he did not come to find them openly, but slipped in through the window. After the window was pushed open, he could see the door of the Bai family.

Seeing him come in, Zhao Yuan said strangely: "Why are you here?"

Wuyan smiled and said, "If I don't come, it will probably take a lot of time to find the Bai Family Ancestral Hall, not to mention finding the mechanism to the underground palace from the ancestral hall. If you fail to sneak in and alarm the Bai family, are you still planning to break through? Although the Bai family has been relatively low-key in recent years and there are no masters among the younger generation, the old guys of the Bai family are still strong and they are not vague when they start to fight. Do you think you can beat them? Although both of you are good at kung fu, it is still very bad to break through the Bai family."

Zhao Yuanjian asked, "Then you followed us from afar, is it just to tell us that it is difficult for the Bai family to break into? There are many ancestral halls to find? This is even more so at the entrance of the underground palace? In addition, there are many old men with great martial arts skills in the Bai family?"

Wuyan said, "If I just want to tell you this, why should I go there all the way? Do you really think I'm full and over? If you don't say anything else, I'll spend a lot of time getting rid of those two followers."

Zhao Yuan saw this and said with a smile: "Where are those two followers?"

Wu Yan said: "I threw them away from Suzhou and let them die. Originally, I planned to find the traitors according to your letting go. Now you find that the main purpose of those sects is those secrets, and aren't they still staring at your Iron Blood Sect? So I simply found a way to leave Suzhou and let them mess around."

According to Zhao Yuan and Wuyan's plan, they had to find the traitor first, but later they found that the goal of those sects was to retrieve the secret books that were taken away at the beginning, and to prevent the secret books from falling among those who were good people. Therefore, they simply came to Jinling directly and retrieve the secret books first.

After saying that, Wuyan looked at the map on the table that the three of them were working hard to complete, and smiled and said, "This is the result of your past few days, or is it? Are you really planning to sneak into the Bai family with the map in front of you?"

Zhao Yuan said: "This method is stupid, but I think it is very effective."

Wuyan shook his head and said, "This method is not only stupid, but also has no effect at all. For nothing, I knew it would be like this, so I don't need to draw the map anymore. I'm ready!"

As he said that, he took out a piece of paper stacked from his arms, opened it and spread it flat on the table, and said, "Look at it for yourself."

Zhao Yuan and the other two leaned over and looked carefully. They immediately admired Wu Yan. This map was very clear at night, and almost every building, every path, etc. were marked extremely clearly, which naturally included the Bai Family Ancestral Hall.

Zhao Yuan looked at it and said happily: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. I even got the map of the Bai family!"

Wuyan said, "I took a lot of time to complete it, but I didn't expect to make wedding clothes for you. If it weren't for their purpose of coming this time, it was also to solve many problems. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you the map."

As he said that, he sighed again and said, "It's just a pity that this map is still a bit imperfect!"

Zhao Yuan said strangely: "I think it's clear what is not perfect!"

The thief beside him said at this moment: "What he calls imperfection is because there are no patrol and defense maps of the Bai family's disciples on this picture."

Wuyan looked at the thief king and smiled and said, "It turns out that he is a fellow disciple!"

The thief laughed and said, "I suffered this loss. When I broke into the palace, I didn't investigate the arrangements and patrol maps of the guards inside in advance. So when I broke into it, it was like breaking into a hornet's nest. If it weren't for the help of noble people, I would have died in the palace! Although the defense of the Bai family is not as good as that of the palace, there is no sloppy at all. We must succeed in one go. If we are discovered, they will be more difficult for us to break in. In addition, I think they must have known about Suzhou."

Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said, "What do you mean is that they also know the real purpose of the major sects. In addition, they are also very clear that if Wu Yan falls into the hands of those sects, they collude with the Brahma Sect, and the secret book will be exposed if they are hidden in their underground palace?"
