The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 270 Who is outside

He squatted down and carefully examined the body of the man in black, trying to find some clues.

However, these men in black had nothing valuable on them except some ordinary weapons and hidden weapons.

Feng Lieyang frowned, feeling annoyed.

This manor is obviously not simple. Not only is its location hidden, but the people inside are also so well-trained and willing to die rather than surrender.

He stood up, looked around, and his eyes fell on a row of houses deep in the village.

Perhaps there are other secrets hidden there.

He waved his hand, signaling his men to follow, and then rushed towards the row of houses like the wind.

The furnishings in the house were simple but extremely clean, and it was obvious that someone cleaned it regularly.

Feng Lieyang searched every corner carefully, not missing any clues.

Finally, in an inconspicuous corner, he found a loose floor tile.

He had an idea and pressed down the floor tile hard. With a slight "click" sound, the bookshelf next to him slowly moved, revealing a deep secret passage.

Feng Lieyang's eyes narrowed, and he signaled his men to follow him, while he himself was the first to enter the secret passage.

The secret passage is narrow and winding, and can only accommodate one person.

Feng Lieyang moved forward cautiously, fearing to alert the enemy.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint light finally appeared ahead.

He was delighted and quickened his pace.

The exit is a hidden little cave, outside of which is a dense forest.

Feng Lieyang stuck his head out, looked around, and only came out of the cave after making sure there was no danger.

Outside the woods, you can vaguely see a path winding into the distance.

He became even more confused, as this path was obviously artificially created, and it seemed that people often walked on it.

What secrets does this manor hide? Why is there such a hidden passage leading to the outside world? Where does the path lead to?

Full of doubts and curiosity, Feng Lieyang decided to follow the path to find out.

He walked along the path carefully, afraid of missing any clues.

The trees along the way are lush and green, and the branches and leaves sway gently in the breeze, as if telling some secrets.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, an open area finally appeared in front of us.

Feng Lieyang looked carefully and found that it was actually a village!

The houses in the village are scattered on the hillside in an orderly manner.

However, Feng Lieyang frowned, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

How could there be a village here?

Could it be that this village has some connection with the house just now?

He waved his hand, signaling his men to disperse and search carefully around the village.

The men nodded in agreement and quickly took action.

It is already midnight, and Feng Lieyang sneaks into the village, trying to find some clues.

The village was quiet, apparently the villagers had all gone to bed.

He tiptoed between the houses, carefully observing the situation around him.

Suddenly, a faint conversation came into his ears.

His heart moved, and he immediately held his breath and listened attentively.

"Hey, do you think what we are doing is right? What if the court finds out?" a voice said worriedly.

"Hmph! What can the imperial court do? Our master is so powerful that the imperial court is no problem for him!" said another voice disdainfully.

"But..." The first voice was about to say something, but was interrupted by the second voice.

"Don't worry! We just need to follow the master's instructions! We don't have to worry about anything else!" said the second voice.

Hearing this, Feng Lieyang couldn't help but feel a surge of shock in his heart.

Who exactly is this "master" that these two villagers are talking about? How could he not even take the imperial court seriously?

He was filled with doubts and curiosity and decided to continue listening.

However, the two villagers seemed to have finished their discussion and did not continue.

Feng Lieyang was unwilling to give in, so he decided to investigate secretly to see if he could find more clues.

He wandered around the village quietly, but found that although the village looked ordinary, it actually held a secret.

The layout and furnishings of some houses are obviously not random but carefully designed.

He frowned and felt annoyed.

What is the connection between this village, that manor and those men in black?

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He knew that if he wanted to unravel the mystery of all this, he had to keep a clear head and calm.

Just then, one of his men quietly walked over. Feng Lieyang saw him and made a gesture to him to keep quiet.

Who would have thought that as the subordinate nodded, he accidentally stepped on a dead branch. The slight breaking sound was particularly harsh in the silent night.

Almost at the same time, a beam of dim light shone through the window.

"Who? Who is outside?" A low and vigilant voice cut through the night sky, and then several figures quickly rushed out of the house and pounced towards Feng Lieyang and his men.

Feng Lieyang cried out "Oops" in his heart, and his figure swept past like the wind and instantly engaged in fighting with the person who came.

Those men were all highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless in their attacks. It was obvious that they were not ordinary villagers.

Feng Lieyang's heart sank, knowing that he might have hit a wall this time.

He did not dare to be careless and fought with the opponent with all his strength.

For a moment, fists were as fast as the wind and swords were flying everywhere, and the scene was extremely intense.

At the same time, there was a noise in the village.

More villagers rushed out from all directions and surrounded Feng Lieyang and his men.

"Who are you? How dare you break into our village at night?" a man who looked like a village leader asked coldly.

Feng Lieyang's heart tightened, knowing that he was in a desperate situation.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

"We are officials appointed by the imperial court, and we have been ordered to come here to investigate some matters. You'd better tell the truth, otherwise..." He was interrupted by this person before he could finish his words.

“Hmph! So what if he’s an official appointed by the imperial court? If you dare to break into our village, you will have to pay the price!” said the village leader, waving his hand, signaling his men to launch an attack.

Feng Lieyang cried out "misery" in his heart, knowing that he was probably in great danger this time.

He waved the big knife in his hand and struggled to resist the attack of the man in black.

However, two fists are no match for four hands, and he soon felt overwhelmed.

In the end, Feng Lieyang and his men were captured by these people.

"Tell me, who are you? Why did you break into our village at night?" the village leader asked coldly again.

Feng Lieyang kept his mouth shut and did not answer his question.

He knew that he might really fail this time, but he couldn't just give in.
