Consort Yuan, who was sitting beside her, had already changed into normal clothes and wore a gauze hat on her head. She reached out to open a gap in the curtains and looked outside.
The carriage was surrounded by guards, and the other guards had already barged into the courtyard of the thatched cottage.
Putting down the curtains, Consort Yuan turned around. "Why did you suddenly decide to stay here?"
After the six sages separated, Yuan Se chose to guard the Yan Kingdom. When they passed by Nanzhou, she suddenly gave the order to come here.
Yuan Se said, "We are both in the Yan Kingdom. There is no need to mistreat ourselves."
Consort Yuan was even more confused. She realized that this person was very guarded. Even now, he still refused to reveal the truth. She sneered. "Forget it if you don't want to say."
Seeing her unhappy, Yuan Se laughed. "I heard that the food in Thatched Cottage Villa is the best in the world. Since we are here, it would be a pity to miss it. Seeing is believing. I'd like to see how amazing it can be. "
"…" Consort Yuan was speechless. She finally realized that Yuan Se was here for the food.
But on second thought, wasn't it? Food was one of his hobbies. It was normal for him to come here for this.
"I will go take a look in case the news is leaked." Consort Yuan said.
Yuan Se nodded slightly and waved his hand, indicating for her to go.
Consort Yuan bent down and got out of the carriage.
Seeing someone trespassing, Guan Fangyi couldn't just sit and watch. She shouted, "Who is it?"
Xu Laoliu quickly retreated to her side and whispered, "It's people from Misty Pavilion."
Misty Pavilion? Guan Fangyi was startled. Why would people from Misty Pavilion suddenly trespass here? Could it be that the secret here was discovered by Misty Pavilion?
Thinking of the people in the secret room, whether it was Niu Youdao, Lu Wushuang, or even Yuan Gang, they were all people who couldn't see the light of day. If they were found out, what would happen?
The key was that it happened coincidentally. Yun Ji wasn't outside. At this moment, those people were all in the secret room and didn't know what happened outside. The others didn't know of the existence of Niu Youdao and the others. They didn't even have someone to inform them of the evacuation.
Thinking of this, Guan Fangyi's hair stood on end. She immediately turned to inform them.
"Stop!" A shadow flashed in front of Guan Fangyi, and a token from the Misty Pavilion was sent to her.
Guan Fangyi looked at them, then turned around and saw that they were all dressed like normal people. None of them were wearing the Misty Pavilion's clothes.
The moment these people entered, they immediately rushed to every corner of the thatched cottage. It was obvious that they wanted to take control of the thatched cottage as soon as possible.
The person indifferently said: "You are Qi Capital's Matchmaker Guan Fangyi?"
Guan Fangyi was nervous, but she tried to look calm. "It's me. The Misty Pavilion doesn't dress up like you when they do things in public. Why do I feel that there's something strange about your sudden visit? How can we be sure that you're from the Misty Pavilion? "
"I will prove it to you." A voice came from behind. Concubine Yuan, who was wearing a gauze hat, slowly walked over, her tone arrogant.
Guan Fangyi immediately turned around when she saw someone cupping their hands in greeting. She saw that it was a woman.
Consort Yuan approached and said proudly, "Qi Capital's Matchmaker, I've heard a lot about you. I heard that you're in charge here. Immediately spread the word that everyone in the courtyard is to stay where they are and be interrogated. No one is allowed to move. Anyone who disobeys will die! "
Guan Fangyi's brain reacted quickly. Just as she was thinking of a countermeasure, she immediately went with the flow and said: "Alright! I'll arrange it now. "She wanted to take the opportunity to pass on the message.
Who knew that as soon as she turned around, Consort Yuan pressed a hand on her shoulder. "Such a small matter, there's no need for you to do it yourself. Just give the order." She lifted her chin at Xu Laoliu, indicating that he should do it.
Guan Fangyi was anxious. She couldn't even use code words to Xu Laoliu. She was hesitating whether she should turn hostile and make some noise to alert Niu Youdao and the others.
Before she could make a decision, Consort Yuan suddenly made a move. She pressed down a few times on Guan Fangyi's body and sealed her cultivation, catching Guan Fangyi off guard.
Consort Yuan then said to her entourage, "You two go with him."
Two people immediately walked to Xu Laoliu's side and pushed him. Xu Laoliu didn't know what was going on and didn't receive any instructions. He didn't dare to disobey the people from the Misty Pavilion and could only follow the rules.
Consort Yuan then ordered in a crisp voice, "Search! Search carefully, don't miss any corner. If you find anything suspicious, immediately control it and report it! "
"Yes!" Some people immediately left to carry out the order and began to search the courtyard.
This wasn't a child's play. This was the arrival of the Holy Venerable of the Dayuan Holy Land. If Yuan Se wanted to stay here, he definitely had to eliminate any possible hidden dangers in order to let Yuan Se stay with peace of mind.
Once Yuan Se moved in, everyone here would have to give a gag order. No one was allowed to leak the news of Yuan Se's presence here or the arrival of these people.
Seeing the search, Guan Fangyi was burning with anxiety. The entrance to the underground secret passage could at most be hidden from ordinary people. How could it withstand the search of cultivators? Once they checked, they would definitely be exposed.
How could this be? She couldn't figure it out. Was she really exposed?
"Who exactly are you people?" Guan Fangyi's tone was cold. She wanted to find an excuse to explode in order to startle the reaction of the people in the courtyard and scare away Niu Youdao and the rest.
It wasn't easy to make this decision. If the other party was really from the Misty Pavilion, she wouldn't even have a chance to resist if she angered them. She might even lose her life.
And since the other party dared to barge in in broad daylight with the signboard of the Misty Pavilion, their identity couldn't be fake.
Normally, no one would dare to impersonate someone from the Misty Pavilion.
If they found something and came to search, there wouldn't be any problem with the identity of the Misty Pavilion.
In other words, she had already made this decision and was prepared to sacrifice herself.
It wasn't that she was great, but if Niu Youdao and the rest were really exposed, she wouldn't have a good ending either. After weighing the pros and cons, she had no choice but to make this difficult decision.
Who knew that Consort Yuan's reaction would be faster. She pointed a finger at her body, causing her to be unable to speak on the spot.
Consort Yuan pushed Guan Fangyi to the side. Immediately, someone came forward and pinned her in the middle.
Guan Fangyi groaned inwardly. Seeing the intruders searching everywhere, she couldn't do anything. She could only place her hopes on Niu Youdao and the rest.
She knew that with the strength of Niu Youdao and the rest, with Yun Ji around, even if the people from the Misty Pavilion came, they might not be able to take down Daoye and the rest.
As long as Daoye escaped, with Daoye's ability, he might have a way to save her and the rest …
In the horse carriage outside the courtyard, Yuan Se was leisurely lying down. He wasn't in a hurry. It wouldn't be too late to show his face after the people below had cleaned up the place. He had come all the way here, there was no need to rush …
As Guan Fangyi expected, the people who had barged into Guan Fangyi's courtyard found the entrance to the secret passage after searching. However, they didn't know how to open it.
Actually, it wouldn't be hard to find the way to open it if they patiently used their arts to investigate. However, these three people had nothing to fear, so it wasn't troublesome. They couldn't be bothered to waste the effort. With a 'peng' sound, they smashed open the cabinet used to cover the entrance and barged in.
This sound startled everyone in the secret room and they all turned around.
Niu Youdao and Lu Wushuang who were in the middle of a conversation immediately stopped. Niu Youdao who was lying down immediately sat up straight, his eyes flashing anxiously.
It was quiet underground. The sound conduction in the tunnel was not bad. Even with a wall separating them, the people inside could hear everything clearly.
Yun Ji turned to look at the direction of the sound. "It's from Hong Niang's side. I'll go see what's going on."
"Stop!" Niu Youdao had already stood up. He was very alert. "Retreat! Retreat immediately! "
Yun Ji was surprised. Lu Wushuang, who had also stood up, had a solemn expression. Her words were rapid and urgent. "It's not normal for Hong Niang to make such a commotion. It might be an outsider. It's all our people outside. Hong Niang can't let outsiders barge in. There's no warning. Something might have happened. We can't meet the intruder face to face. Otherwise, Hong Niang and the others will be in more danger. "
This was exactly what Niu Youdao meant. He couldn't help but take another look at her.
Yun Ji: "Maybe Hong Niang accidentally …"
Lu Wushuang lowered her voice and said hurriedly, "If it's an accident, just treat it as a false alarm. We can't take the risk now." She turned to Niu Youdao and said, "If there's a change, unless Hong Niang betrays us, the secret passage in the secret passage won't be easily exposed. Hong Niang just went out. It won't be that fast if she wants to betray us. It will take some time for them to find this place. Pack up the things that might be exposed immediately. I'll go and inform Monkey to meet up with us. "
Niu Youdao: "She's right. Pack up immediately." He turned around and tore down the map of the Holy Land on the wall. He also quickly stored some information.
Yuan Gang, who ran from another secret passage, carried the Three Howling Saber on his back and a big box in his hand. Inside were all kinds of information temporarily stored for future investigation.
Seeing Lu Wushuang running over, before Lu Wushuang could say anything, he suddenly grabbed Lu Wushuang's neck and dragged her away. "Someone's coming. Retreat!"
He had also heard the noise. His reaction speed was not slow. He had already packed up his things and rushed over without any notice.
Lu Wushuang was choked by his grip. She struggled with her eyes wide open and tried to pry his hand away. However, she was not strong enough.
Seeing the two of them coming to the secret room and Yuan Gang dragging her away, Niu Youdao frowned. "Monkey, what are you doing?"
Yuan Gang let go of Lu Wushuang. He didn't explain his actions. Seeing Niu Youdao packing up his things, he knew that Daoye had also reacted. "Let's retreat!"
Lu Wushuang covered her mouth with both hands and coughed a few times.
Niu Youdao stared at Lu Wushuang. "Have you packed up the things in your room?"
Yuan Gang answered, "I've been keeping an eye on her. There's nothing exposed."
Lu Wushuang suddenly turned around. She understood that although this person was in the same room as her, he had been monitoring her.
Coupled with Yuan Gang's action of almost strangling her to death, Lu Wushuang turned her head to the side. Her eyes were inexplicably red, but her face was expressionless.
Niu Youdao looked at the two's reactions and felt something. He didn't say much. It wasn't the time to be long-winded. He only said one word. "Go!"
Yun Ji immediately led the others to burrow into the ground.
In the underground space, Niu Youdao, who was holding the night-luminescent pearl, looked at Lu Wushuang from time to time. He found that Lu Wushuang kept turning her head to the side and didn't look at Yuan Gang.
As for the three people who had discovered the secret passage, one of them retreated to inform the others while they were on high alert.
