Forced to Zhongnan Chapter 49 Cat and Shadow

Bangbang tied!

A young man walked slowly through the silent and deserted streets with heavy steps.

After a while, the sound of iron clothes and shield armor collided again. A fifty-person night patrol team passed by the stone road in front of the Taishi Mansion with torches.

Yanyun rushed out of the alley, quickly crossed the street, and entered the forest.

In addition to the inner city where the king lives, Yan Yun is very familiar with every corner of the royal city. This time, he sneaked in the dark night and paid attention to something that he usually ignores.

In the entire royal city, it seems that the mansions of first-rank and second-rank officials are very particular. In the Feng Shui pattern, they are directed to face north and south, with green mountains behind them and clear water in front of them, which also includes the Mansion of General Wuwei.

The same is true for the Taishi Mansion. The mountains and forests behind the mansion provided good cover for Yan Yun. He reached the commanding heights of the mountains and forests without much effort.

When he looked down at the entire Taishi Mansion from the back mountain, he discovered a very strange scene.

The first half of the Taishi Mansion faces the street, the courtyards are brightly lit. From a distance, it looks like a festival. In the second half, there is only a rod in the middle of the floor in each courtyard, and a storm light is hanging on the top of the rod. It looks dark, as if it blends into the night.

Yan Yun observed for a while, and as he stepped forward in the embracing mountain, he reached outside the high wall where the seventh entry of the Grand Master Mansion.

According to the news given by Di You, the Grand Master Pang Yu lived in the fifth place, and his family and servants could enter and exit, so there must be no secrets to find. The key point is the courtyard from the sixth to the ninth place.

However, the courtyards of the sixth and ninth entrances, one of the people in the Lin Taishi Mansion and the other in Lin Shan must have guards.

Then, all the secret center points of the Taishi Mansion are in the seventh and eighth courtyards.

Between the high walls and the mountains and forests, there is a manually cut isolation belt, which is about nine feet wide. There is no big tree, only some low shrubs grow to prevent outsiders from climbing over.

This distance cannot be defeated by Yan Yun. He took off the iron arm bow from his back and tied a long vine at the end of the arrow through the cloud. Taking advantage of the mountain wind blowing the frozen forest, the rattle sound shot into the thick trunk of a big tree.

He grabbed the long vine and tried the strength, then held the gun in one hand and the vine in the other, and stood firmly at the top of the high wall like a swing.

The luxury of the Taishi Mansion is comparable to that of the General Wuwei Mansion. It is a big witch. Every time I enter the courtyard, it consists of more than ten buildings of large and small sizes, with the main house in the middle, and the nearby houses are in a veil to the main house in the center.

Yan Yun squatted on the high wall and observed for a while. The whole courtyard was quiet and there was no sound.

This silence is very exciting, just like a huge beast at the bottom of the quiet lake, waiting for people and animals to approach.

The pair of star eyes under Yan Yun's sword eyebrows shone brightly, sweeping through every building under his nose, but nothing was discovered.

He took a long breath, circulated the internal strength in his dantian, jumped down from the high wall, rolled down when he landed on the ground, and hid behind a wing room beside the wall.

The windows in the wing room were all closed and it was dark inside.

Yan Yun suddenly discovered something strange, the light on the ground!

He had long noticed that the lantern in the front floor of the main house in the yard was hung very high, and it kept swaying with the wind, and the light was dimmed, as if it had no purpose.

Only at this moment did he realize that this lamp was very special!

According to common sense, a small lamp cannot project too far. The brightness starts from the center and gradually weakens, and the coverage is limited to the steps of the main house at most.

But such a large courtyard is almost covered by the dim light of this lamp!

The ground leading from the surrounding wing rooms to the main house is dim and yellow except for the shadows left by the house.

Yan Yun gently placed the spear by the wall, took out the iron arm bow, and took out a cloud-piercing penetration from the arrow bag behind him, aiming at the lamp of the two arrows in the air.

He didn't notice that in this moment, his shadow exposed to the light split from one into two.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a sound on the tiles.

He quickly squatted down, his body retracted, his back close to the back wall of the wing room, and raised his head and looked at it intently.

“Meow…”

But it was a tabby cat coming down from the roof.

I don’t know which wealthy family raised this cat, but it was not afraid of people. When he saw Yan Yun, he first circled around him, and then rubbed his legs intimately.

Yan Yun had no choice but to watch it act coquettishly in front of him.

Seeing that Yan Yun ignored it, the tabby cat screamed in disappointment, turned around and walked towards the brick floor illuminated by the dim light.

The tabby cat walks lightly and silently, but as they walk, one shadow becomes two, and then three, one lined up side by side, and walked along with the cat.

At this time, a thick mist floated out from the hanging lantern, and in just a flash, it reached three feet above the tabby cat's head.

The three shadows of the tabby cat disappeared immediately. Without even screaming, they kicked their legs and fell to the ground.

A shadow appeared again, this time there was only one, corresponding to the corpse of the tabby cat.

The thick mist was gone, as if it had never appeared.

Yan Yun saw all this clearly in the dark, and couldn't help but his left eyelid twitched wildly, and his sideburns were sweating. Fortunately, he was just careful enough and did not rashly go straight to the main house from the wing room, otherwise he would have the same fate as this tabby cat!

At the same time, he thought of the cat's shadow. Was it the same if he was exposed to the light before?

Fortunately, the cat appeared just right, which made him hurriedly retreat. He was exposed to the light for a longer time, and the consequences were unimaginable.

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but beating wildly.

The seventh entrance to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, which seemed to be unattended, was even more dangerous than when he led the team to break into the East Wolf King Central Army's tent at night!

That lantern must be removed!

However, the method used can no longer be used to shoot down simply. It is possible that the moment the lantern touches the ground, causing other unpredictable consequences.

The tabby cat appeared just right, providing Yan Yun with a good reference. Three shadows mean death. He must handle the lantern when two shadows appear under his feet.

He took out another cloud-piercing arrow from the arrow bag, and put it on the bow frame with one arrow, and held it with his left hand. He used force on his arms and stood quickly in the light after the string was full.

A shadow suddenly appeared under his feet. When the second shadow appeared, he let go of his three fingers of his right hand that was tightly pinching the arrow feather.

Love!

The arrow through the clouds rushed straight to the thin rope with the lantern hanging on the high pole like a meteor. The moment the arrow penetrated into the pole, the thin rope was cut off and the lantern suddenly fell!

Immediately afterwards, the second cloud-piercing arrow arrived again, shooting half of the string, and the remaining half were nailed to the rod with the lantern. The lantern only swayed slightly, and it was not even as large as the oscillation of the strong wind before.

Comparing the hanging height before the lantern, it dropped by about one foot, but at this foot, the distance covered by the lantern light was reduced by half in front of the wing room where Yan Yun was hiding.
Chapter completed!
