Monarch of Evernight: Forty-Nine Stealing Camp
bsp;Song Zining spread out another piece of drawing paper, holding the pen and concentrating. Ye Mulan paused knowingly, watching him scrap the new painting.
Song Zining put down his pen and walked to the table. Ye Mulan quickly poured a new cup of tea and handed it to him. Song Zining took the tea cup and said gently: "That's Qiqi's person."
Ye Mulan clenched her hands under her sleeves, and said calmly: "Speaking of Qiqi, she is so disrespectful to you, she doesn't even have the basic courtesy! I heard that her mother That room has already moved closer to the second young master..."
"Yeah." Song Zining said he heard it. As always, he never made a clear stance on this topic.
"Zi Ning, the eldest cousin of the Gu family, Gu Liyu, has been having a little trouble recently. Can you help him? I think winning him over will be very helpful for our future."
"Yes." Song Zining nodded without even asking.
Ye Mulan didn't expect that the biggest purpose of coming here tonight could be achieved so easily, and she was stunned for a moment. However, Song Zining had given her a lot of authority in the past year, but rarely asked about it, which was obviously his trust in her. She also felt that the several affairs handed over by the Song family were handled beautifully and she deserved such trust.
But before Ye Mulan had time to be happy, she found that Song Zining's eyes were on the person in the painting again. Her face froze, then she tried her best to soften her expression, walked to the table and started to put away the discarded items one by one. Drawing sketch, he said softly: "Since Xiaoye is willing to cling to Qiqi like this, he must have come from a humble background. In fact, there is nothing we can do about it..."
Song Zining suddenly said: "Of course her willingness to follow Qiqi is her own wish."
Ye Mulan's heart skipped a beat, but she still kept a gentle smile, picked up the scraps she had sorted out and said, "Zining, go to bed early."
"Yeah."
Ye Mulan gently closed the door of the study, walked to a secluded place in the corner, suddenly gritted his teeth, grabbed two pieces of drawing paper and tore them into pieces. Willingness? When did the Seventh Young Master of the Song Dynasty start to care about women's wishes?
The maid next to her was startled. She quickly looked back and forth to see if no one was passing by. She squatted down and picked up all the scraps of paper. At the same time, he advised very gently: "Miss, you are just a woman. It's just that the Seventh Young Master is fresh for a while."
Ye Mulan said coldly: "I don't know who that **** is! Qiqi is clearly trying to fool Zining. What should I say? Zining is just soft-hearted towards relatives." She was at this moment He had regained his composure and left with his maid as if nothing had happened.
After a while, Ye Mulan's maid quietly went to the outer courtyard. Not only did the Song family's own guards live there, there were also some gentry children who were attached to the Song family.
Song Zining only brought a guard of fifty people with him this time, plus more than twenty personal followers. There were a few empty rooms in the courtyard that could accommodate a hundred people, so these nobles tried their best to find ways to live in. . Even if seven or eight people have to be squeezed into a room, they don't care, as long as they stay for one night. But after returning from the spring hunt, they could claim to be living in the Song clan's courtyard, which would be a very glorious thing.
The maid walked into the last room on the east end, where only three people lived. They were all young disciples of noble clans with other surnames. They either directly found Ye Mulan's connections, or were introduced by the head of the Ye clan. Obviously, the treatment of three people in a room is much better than that of other dependents.
And because this room is at the top, it is relatively larger and has an extra window, making it more open and bright. It was Ye Mulan who adjusted the residence of the Song family guards and squeezed out a room.
The maid didn't stay long, but the roll of paper she was holding when she entered was missing.
The three people in the room were discussing around the picture of the lady.
"This is very troublesome. Is that Xiaoye Qiqi's female companion and bodyguard?"
Another person said disdainfully: "What a guard, everyone knows what she is used for. My brothers and I are already at level six or seven, and they were killed on the battlefield! But a girl at level five is not easy to catch." ?"
The third person muttered: "That's not right! Qiqi won't kill us as soon as this comes out? The Song family may not stand up for us by then."
"You are just cowardly! Wealth and honor are obtained through danger. If it is something easy to do, the Song family will do it themselves. Why do they need to find us? The seventh master's intentions are so obvious. Such a good opportunity must not be missed. Yes. This is what we do! ”
The third person said again: "That's it! It definitely won't work here. Although each family has a courtyard, they are too close. When we enter the mountains tomorrow, each family will set up camp independently, and the mobilization and settlement of people will definitely be chaotic. We Just lurk nearby, wait for the girl to be alone or lure her out, knock her down with a punch, cover her up with a cloth, and leave! As long as you're careful, we won't leave any traces, we'll start tomorrow night!" /
"Hey! Do you think we should tie up that girl and send her there, or strip her naked and stuff her into Qi Shao's bed?"
"Tch! Is your kid obsessed with lust? Can the seventh young master still want the woman you stripped off?"
"Hey! That's what I said! That girl is so hot! It makes people feel itchy just looking at her!"
The voices in the room were lowered, and suppressed strange laughter could be heard from time to time.
A moment later, Song Zining met his two personal followers in the study.
The short, stocky man named Song Jing spoke first and told the story of Ye Mulan's maid going to the front yard, and then said a little uneasily: "Master, if they really succeed, they will tell Miss Yin Jiabiao Will it be difficult to explain? ”
Song Zining glanced at him with a half-smile. Song Jing immediately shut up and couldn't help but murmur in his heart that the young master was too indulgent towards his future young mistress.
Song Zining's eyes turned to another ruined painting of a lady on the desk. What does Ye Mulan's behavior mean? There are many ways to get a woman, but she chose the rudest one. She would not have thought that if this matter happened, the Song clan would be the one with a bad reputation. Unless that person himself had problems, if he fell into Ye Mulan's hands, it would be a solid handle for Qiqi.
Song Ge, a thin young man next to him, reported another matter, "Master, I got the list of Miss Qiqi's entourage from the Duke's Mansion. Her female companion's surname is Qian, Qian Xiaoye. , Level 5 combat soldier, remote combat position."
There were ten thousand people participating in the Tianxuan Spring Hunt. The information provided by the Duke's Office only included the children of various families. Of course, it could not include the huge number of guards, concubines, and maids. Because Qianye was one of the nine members of the Yin family's hunting team, he was registered in the Duke's Mansion, and the information was extremely simple.
Song Zining frowned and whispered to himself: "Why is this?"
The two followers looked at each other inexplicably, and Song Ge carefully added, "Miss Ye seems to want to ask for this list through Captain Qiu." Captain Qiu is the captain of the Song family guard.
"Give it to her after the hunting starts." Then Song Zining asked: "Where was the last time she and Qiqi met?"
Song Ge thought for a while and replied, "Miss Ye went to the bottom continent a month ago. She should have met Miss Qiqi at the dinner party of City Lord Yuan Zeyu in Xichang City. As for the specific situation, I need some time."
Song Zining said: "Let's check Qian Xiaoye together."
"That's the person close to Miss Qiqi. Checking her background information may alarm Miss Qiqi."
Song Zining said calmly: "It doesn't matter, just let them know."
Early the next morning, teams set off from the Weiguo Gongyuan one after another and headed for the depths of the Tianxuan Mountains. The major families had already sent people to explore the location of the advance camp, but in order to make the spring hunting realistic and exciting, they only started setting up camp one day in advance.
The empire has gone through thousands of years of conquest, and even activities like Spring Hunting strive to be close to actual combat.
In order to ensure harvest, the hunting areas of the major aristocratic families are divided into war zones and will be separated as much as possible. The reward given by the Spring Hunting Ranking is the second most important, and the honor of the family name is more important. And if you can make a splash during the spring hunt, it will be a shortcut for the nobles to reach the sky. A small number of these gentry children are attached to a certain family, while some move freely.
The Yin family camp is located on a gentle **** halfway up the mountain, with a valley stream in front of it. It is moderately located from the mountains and forests, and not too far from the main road leading to the Weiguogong Villa. It is considered a good place.
The style of the camp is modeled after a military camp, with three wooden houses distributed in a zigzag pattern in the center. It is the main building where Qiqi lives, and it also functions as a tactical command, kitchen, and equipment warehouse. It is surrounded by long row houses, which are not only residences for the guards' entourage, but also serve as fortifications.
Ji Yuanjia led the team to set up the camp in advance. At this time, most of it was completed. Only half of the two conjoined tool rooms behind the row house in the northeast corner were not completed. Setting up camp was complicated, and it was already afternoon when Qiqi and others arrived, and it was already nightfall when everything was left to be sorted out.
In the forest, three figures were slowly approaching the camp. Their figures were vague and their auras did not leak out at all. They were obviously good at sneaking and ambush. They found a hidden trace not far from the camp and carefully observed the movement in front.
People were busy coming in and out of the row houses in the camp from time to time, but they were all servants and attendants. The guards patrolled back and forth in groups of three, and there were two groups of people on the outside. It was not too dense, but the route protected the main building without gaps. The three of them couldn't help but feel that it was a bit tricky.
It didn’t take long for the three of them to see the target of their trip, Xiaoye!
Xiaoye came out of the main building. It seemed that her residence was with Qiqi. If this is the case, I'm afraid this trip will be in vain. No matter how good these three people are at hunting in the wild, they don't think they can break into the heart of the Yin family camp.
Soon they discovered that things had taken a turn for the better. Xiaoye didn't know what she was busy with, but she didn't even call the guards or followers. She carried the huge box and walked to the back of the townhouse in the northeast corner alone. The three of them adjusted their positions and continued to observe. There were two independent tool rooms over there, only one was built, and the other was not capped yet.
Xiaoye went back and forth several times, carrying several large boxes, and then the lights in the tool room came on, and she was actually in there and couldn't come out. The three of them looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. This little girl is so considerate. Could it be that she gave them great wealth out of thin air?
The place is in a corner of the camp and has not yet been completed. It seems that no one is staying nearby. The intervals between patrolling guards are almost half an hour, which is enough for them to move. At the moment, they just wait patiently for the opportunity, then make a sudden attack, catch the person and run away.
The three of them sneaked nearby and could clearly see Xiaoye's shadow shaking on the window. They waited for a while, and the patrol passed by. Just as they were about to take action, suddenly there was a faint voice from deep in the forest behind them. They were immediately shocked. There was no trace of anyone in that direction. It was the chosen retreat. Why did someone suddenly appear?
Fortunately, the voices gradually faded away, and the three of them finally let go of their worries.
But not long after, voices sounded again, this time closer, and I could clearly hear about eight or nine voices. Those people came closer and then gradually moved away. It seemed that they were going in a big circle. I don't know if they were conducting reconnaissance or searching for something.
When the human voice disappeared in the forest, one of them gritted his teeth and said: "We can't wait any longer, take action now!"
So the three of them jumped out of their hiding place, like three ghostly shadows, passing over the low wooden fence, and reached the cabin from a visual blind spot in the direction of the camp. The three of them reached out and put their hands on the door and window respectively, breaking the latch with the force of force, and then rushed into the room at the same time.
Qianye wore a black long coat similar to the one worn at the Wuantang night banquet, except that the dark embroidery was changed from aqua blue to golden yellow, and the wide sleeves were **** with ribbons for the convenience of work. He was standing in front of the table. The long table, which took up one-third of the size of the cabin, was filled with various firearms and crossbow parts. At this time, he looked up in shock and looked at the three guys who suddenly broke in.
These three people were dressed in light night armor and had facial coverings covering their faces. They looked like they had evil intentions at first glance. But what surprised Qianye was that they only had one level seven and two level six. With just this strength, they dared to break into the Yin family camp at night?
Looking in the eyes of the three people, Xiaoye obviously looked overly frightened and at a loss. But a beauty is a beauty, and the more scared she is, the more lovable she looks, or makes people want to ravage her.
The three of them felt that there was no need to use force to deal with such an easily frightened little beauty, so one of them said: "Listen, Master Song Qi has taken a liking to you. This is your blessing! Follow us obediently, as long as If you feel comfortable serving the Seventh Young Master, you might be able to become a concubine. Wouldn't it be much better than following a woman like Qiqi who has no status or status? The Song family is a powerful family!"
Qianye couldn't tell what kind of expression he had on his face, and said, "Song Qi is attracted to me?"
The three of them thought it was interesting as soon as they heard it. In their eyes, Qianye's expression was one of fear and joy. Anyway, no matter what expression the little beauty has, it makes people happy to look at her. None of them noticed that the little beauty's voice was a bit deep and tough, not as sweet and melodious as ordinary girls.
"Is that still false? He even drew a lot of portraits of you after he returned! Come with us quickly. When you become rich and prosperous, don't forget our brothers!"
Another person said: "That's right! Looking at a beauty like you makes one's bones go numb. Isn't it a waste to be a bodyguard?"
The third person took out a rope and a white handkerchief and said apologetically: "In order to prevent accidents, I will only aggrieve you along the way."
Qianye didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. He moved his fingers and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Song Zining really wants him to die!"
The three of them suddenly felt something was wrong!
Under the cover of night, voices started to rise again in the forest from the direction the three came from, and suddenly a group of nine people rushed out, all carrying full equipment. They were all in dire straits, with sleepy and tired looks on their faces. Not only were their hair messy, but their outer robes had been torn quite a bit, revealing the personal armor underneath.
The leader is tall and majestic, with an extraordinary aura. There was no damage on his body, just covered with a faint earthy yellow light.
The secret knowledge of the Wei family is that Qianzhong Mountain is famous far and wide, but in this person's hands it was used to clear paths in the forest and protect clothes. I don’t know how many canes Mrs. Wei would give him if she knew about it.
This young man is Wei Qiyang, a guy who calls himself Potian. He ran out of the forest, looked at the camp not far away, and the big word Yin on the fluttering flag, and grinned unconsciously: "I finally found it, his grandma's, he ran away most of the night!"
