Chapter 119

  Xiao Feng had always been a man of action. Since childhood, she had accepted the philosophy of "it's better to retreat and weave a net than to hover over the abyss like a fish".

  When a case reaches a dead end, don't be afraid of trouble and start from scratch to review the case, any possibility, any minor detail must be noted and reconsidered...

  Chongxiang Building is a six-story tower built by the King of Xiangyang in the city of Xiangyang. Legend has it that it was drawn on paper by a high-ranking official and built by skilled craftsmen. Whenever someone breaks in, there will be a loud ringing sound, followed by flames rising from within the building, lightning flashing and thunder roaring, making it extremely mysterious and eerie.

  What?

  Little Phoenix Maiden heard that it's really a rising posture, at any time the creative wisdom of ordinary people is worthy of admiration. Generally, people just listen to such street rumors and may be hesitant to approach that Chongxiang Building, let alone go and explore.

  Rumors can be misleading!

  The rumor must have been exaggerated and artistically processed, but judging from the recent two ringing sounds heard in the rumor, it's likely that the cat and mouse are really a pair of sworn brothers in Chongxialou.

  Bai Xiaowu, you'd better not be dead yet. If so, this trip to Xiangyang will definitely end in failure for me.

  Zhan Zhao can be trapped and tortured, but he will still keep his life, while you are different, Xiangyang City is your burial ground, I really don't know how you can be so reckless with your own life?

  They finally got the news they wanted on the street, but Yan Dong understood that the adults' worries were deeper.

  Zhan Da Xia and Bai Wu Xia fell into the Chong Xiao Building at the same time, which was absolutely not a good thing.

  This shows that if he were to rush into the building to rescue people, the outcome would not be any better, because both Nan Xia and Jin Mao Shu's martial arts skills are superior to his, which is why the adults are worried.

  The two returned to the temporarily rented courtyard, but unexpectedly someone was already waiting for them.

  "Ouyang the Great Hero!"

  When she saw the person coming, Little Phoenix was truly surprised and delighted.

  Bei Xiaoyang Chun appeared at this time, which was absolutely a bonus for Shenglijun.

  Phoenix Girl

  "How did Ouyang Daxia end up in Xiangyang?"

  "It's said that Bai Wuxia and others had a dispute over their differing views, and came to the Chuangshi Building in Xiangyang. As a result, they were like the Yellow Crane who went away and never returned. The other four people on the Empty Island were worried, and when there was nothing else to do, one of them hurried here first to take a look at what was going on. They arrived afterwards."

  Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh, sat down at the table and said: "Ouyang Daxia doesn't know that according to the news I've gathered in the past few days, the Chongxiao Building is full of mechanisms and hidden passages, conforming to the principles of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams, making it difficult to break through.

  Moreover, the situation in the building is unclear, and it's not easy to rush into the building to rescue people.

  "Has the young lady confirmed that Zhang Brothers and Bai Wuxia are trapped in the building?"

  Lu Xiaofeng then told the news he had heard, and finally said: "If it's just a simple fall, I'm not worried. What I'm worried about is that they were privately handled and buried by King Xiangyang... If anyone dares to move her family's little cat, she will definitely peel off a layer of skin from King Xiangyang."

  There's also that stinky old mouse, who lost a whisker and won't let Xiangyang Wang off the hook, won't let him get away with just being beheaded by Dragon Head.

  Ouyang Chun couldn't help but shiver inexplicably, wondering if it was just his imagination playing tricks on him. Otherwise, why would he have felt that for a brief moment, Feng Jie's aura had become so heavy and terrifying?

  Ouyang Chunruo was just suspicious, but Yan Dong was certain.

  This matter concerns the safety of Zhang Da Xia, and his family's elders can't be as calm as before, this is a sign that they are secretly furious.

  "This should be someone from the Liao and Yan families."

  "It is indeed, in this severe winter, I have long admired the name of Beixia, and today I see that it is truly not an empty reputation."

  "I don't dare, I don't dare, some..."

  Little Phoenix couldn't help but prop up her cheeks and glance at these two guys who were flattering each other. She really wanted to shout: Hey, isn't it not the time for you two to be so polite? When we're done, you can face each other and exchange blows as a greeting. Now let's hurry up and think of a solution!

  What's wrong with you!

  What's wrong with me today?

  Ouyang Chun first noticed Lu Xiaofeng's abnormality and smiled: "Let the girl see the joke."

  "I won't." Little Phoenix immediately made her stance clear.

  "We should still try to confirm the life or death of Zhan Dabo and Bai Wuxia as soon as possible." said Zhan Dongru.

  Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but get up and pace back and forth on the ground in thought.

  Ouyang Chun and Yan Dong, along with Xiao He, didn't dare to make another sound because they knew that at this moment her train of thought couldn't be interrupted.

  After a long time, Little Phoenix Maiden revealed a rather strange smile, her left hand clenched into a fist and her right hand flat, as she slapped them together with a crisp crackling sound: "I've got it."

  Severe winter: I feel that method must be very profound.

  Ouyang Chun: A bit fuzzy.

  "Come on," Little Phoenix Maiden warmly greeted Beixia and Yandong as they gathered around her, "Listen to me..."

  After listening, Beixia Ouyang Chun said: It's really an eye-opener, I didn't know there was such a method that could be used.

  Severe winter indicates: long knowledge.

  Then they went out and parted ways to prepare what was needed.

  Xiangyang Wang's Chongxiao Building isn't full of clever mechanisms and secretly compatible with the eight trigrams of the universe, is it?

  Then give him an opportunity for a futile attempt at flirting with a blind person.

  Chongxiang Building cannot be entered, and the building cannot be approached too closely, but some things do not need to be close or even enter to be settled.

  Then, at the next moment, Chongxialou became lively.

  The quality of sleep for the people living near Chongxiang Building at night is greatly discounted, because they often hear the wind chimes hanging on the corners of the building ringing.

  Recently, guarding Chongxiao Building has been extremely hard work.

  Because every day has to deal with chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, mice and other domestic animals and wildlife that break into the building, among which mice are the most.

  Even the white mouse, Bai Wu Ye, who was barely considered a peer by those trapped in the building, expressed his discontent.

  "This must be her doing." Others wouldn't have come up with such an unreliable and unorthodox method.

  Zhan Zhao did not express his opinion.

  Bai Yutang continued indignantly, "There are actually so many mice, it's simply too much."

  Zhan Zhao finally couldn't help but say: "Brother Bai, are you feeling empathy?"

  Bai Yutang glared with his eyes wide open, and after a moment, he let out a loud roar, "You stinky cat——"

  Chongxiang Building's guard once again heard a scuffle coming from the dark room where important prisoners were being held.

  Finding what you want to know from some animal carcasses is a technical job.

  Fortunately, however, Little Phoenix had North Hero Ouyang Chun and Yan Dong by her side.

  From the corpses of the animals, they recognized Xian Zhao's swordsmanship and also saw Bai Yutang's moves.

  Alright, I can put my mind at ease now.

  This means that Tom and Jerry, this pair of sworn brothers, are still alive for the time being, as long as they are still alive.

  Little Phoenix suddenly felt that her requirements had dropped so low, was it because she had thought the situation too seriously beforehand?

  It was just a few days after the cat and mouse game that Gong Sun Ce arrived.

  Gongsun Ce entered the city dressed as Mr. Bo Gu and also visited Xiaofeng's home in this identity to divine for her.

  When Gong Sun Ce heard Ouyang Chun's plan on how to lure the domesticated animals and wild birds into Chong Xiao Lou, and then use them to send out possible messages from within the building, he couldn't help but laugh while stroking his beard, "Miss is indeed resourceful." This method, I'm afraid not many people can think of.

  "Alright, now is not the time to praise me, hurry up and think of a solution."

  I don't know how long Xiangyang Wang plans to keep this pair of cat and mouse sworn enemies, we must hurry up and rescue them.

  Besides, after all, it's been blown out of proportion, and I'm afraid it will eventually arouse their suspicion.

  Moreover, those mechanisms and Bagua arrangements in the building are your professional domain, Mr. Gong Sun, I am not familiar with them.

  I'd have at most just burned down the Chongxiao Building, but this way, the counter-alliance treaty hidden by the Prince of Xiangyang would also be reduced to ashes. What a hassle."

  Xiangyang King, you damn bastard, instead of enjoying your life as a noble king of the Song Dynasty, you have to plot a rebellion, this is purely the result of eating too much and getting bloated.

  "We still need to wait for one more."

  "Who's there?"

  "My senior fellow disciple."

  "Does Master Gongsun have an older brother?" Little Feng expressed genuine surprise, immediately becoming curious, "Who is it?"

  Gongsun Ce couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Lu, this is no time for jokes."

  Lu Xiaofeng scratched his head and pouted, "It's okay to take a break from the busy schedule with these eight little tricks."

  Bei Xiaoyang Chun couldn't help but laugh along with him.

  Yan Dong secretly smiled in his heart.

  At this time, probably only his family's adults could still have the mood to joke and ease the atmosphere.

  The unusual movement of Chong Xiao Lou indeed caught the attention of Xiangyang Wang.

  Xiangyang Wang's strategist and pharmacist, Ji Gao, after observing the situation around Chongxiao, said with certainty: "This is the work of someone who is skilled in medicine, intentionally luring those animals to this place."

  "What is your intention?"

  "This... I don't know."

  Actually, ordinary people indeed don't easily think of that meaning.

  But as the husband of Xiaofeng, the noble cat had thought of it, and he also secretly gave her a black line, thinking of such a way to confirm their life and death was indeed unique.

  "After pondering for a while, Ji Gao expressed his own opinion, 'I think maybe someone wants to explore the Chongxiao Building, but is intimidated by the mechanisms and news inside, so they want to use this to deplete the hidden weapons inside.' He paused for a moment before making a conclusion, 'It's truly foolish.'"

  Xiangyang also said: "Foolish people."

  On the other side, Xiao Feng Jie was despised for her low IQ and let out several loud sneezes.

  "Miss, don't be anxious! Have you caught a chill?"

  "No big deal, I think it's more likely that someone is badmouthing me behind my back."

  Xiaohe fell silent.

  Little Phoenix, who was studying the overall exterior view of Chongxiao Building, suddenly had an idea and excitedly said to Gong Sun Ce: "Mr. Gong Sun, there is a river not far from Chongxiao Building. If a fire breaks out in the building, I think it's likely that there are also firefighting facilities inside. And what's better for putting out fires than water?"

  "If someone could follow the flow of water and take a look, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

  Gongsun Ce's eyes lit up, "Miss, you make sense."

  The person who knows water best is Jiang Ping, who has overturned the Yangtze River.

  On the afternoon of the same day when Little Phoenix Maiden proposed this, the other four mice from Trap Empty Island arrived, including the mentioned Jiang Fourth Master.

  Jiang Ping readily accepted the task of investigating the matter.
