Lu Yun was not happy when he heard this.
"Eunuch Cao, you can't wrongly accuse a good person. This is clearly because Zhou Bofang is arrogant. He knows full well that Judge Zhao..."
"okay!"
Cao Ronghui stopped Lu Yun from chattering and said, "How can our family not understand the twists and turns in your belly? Besides, I know better than you what kind of person Zhou Bofang is."
"Then..." Lu Yun scratched his head.
"What else can we do? Our family will help you carry it." Cao Ronghui rolled his eyes at him.
Then he said angrily: "Get out of here, don't hang around in front of our family all day long, it will annoy us."
"Yes, yes, little one, let's go now."
As soon as Lu Yun turned around, he was stopped by Cao Ronghui: "Wait a minute, have you forgotten something?"
"Huh? Is there any?"
Seeing Lu Yun's deliberately ignorant expression, Cao Ronghui laughed and scolded: "Token! When do you want to get our token?"
"Oh, this!" Lu Yun suddenly realized.
He reluctantly placed the token representing Deacon Cao on the table, then handed it over and left.
Seeing Lu Yun's leaving figure, Cao Ronghui smiled and said, "This kid is always causing trouble!"
Returning to Yuexin Palace, Lu Yun immediately went back to his room and took the last Blood Python Wrath Pill with him. He decided not to break through to the Minhui realm this time and not come back.
After everything was ready, he took a look at Concubine Wu's boudoir and thought for a while not to disturb her.
"Xiaoyunzi!"
He was really afraid of what would happen. Just when Lu Yun was thinking about not disturbing her, she discovered him on the back.
"Empress."
Lu Yun smiled and bowed.
"What are you going to do?" Concubine Wu's beautiful eyes were full of doubt.
"If you want to get back to me, I want to travel far."
As he spoke, he deliberately lied and said that Xichang had assigned him several tasks.
"Um."
Concubine Wu nodded and looked at Lu Yun quietly without speaking.
"Empress..."
Lu Yun was a little panicked.
"Come here." Concubine Wu waved to him.
Lu Yun walked over and was grabbed by the arm.
"Come on, come into the house with me and test how your martial arts practice is lately?"
After a full hour, Lu Yun rode a horse and wandered out of the palace.
The target of his trip was a wave of water bandits entrenched in Dalongze.
Dalongze is also his third check-in point.
Dalongze is located in Yangzhou. After days of running around, Lu Yun finally arrived here.
A large lake appeared in front of him.
The breeze blew across the lake, causing the lower corners of his robe to sway slightly.
The water surface is vast, like a mirror stretching across the ground. As far as the eye can see, you can't see the edge.
"System, sign in"
"Detected: [Dalongze]."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Seven Furnace Mysterious Beast Skills"!"
Lu Yun took a general look and found that this was a force realm technique tailor-made for monsters. It seemed that he could just throw it to the fool this time.
Suddenly, a small black spot appeared on the lake in the distance.
"Sir, would you like to take a boat? It only costs fifty cents per person!" The boss of the boat stood on the board and shouted to Lu Yun on the shore.
"good."
After Lu Yun stepped onto the deck, the boss of the boat started to slowly sail toward the center of the lake.
"Shipman, how long does it take to get to the other side?" Lu Yun asked, his eyes unwavering.
"It'll be there in two hours, don't worry, I'll get you to the other side before dark!" the boss of the ship chuckled.
Gradually, the color of the lake became darker and darker, just like the atmosphere on the boat, it became very depressing.
"If I'm not mistaken, sir, your family must be an official, or a businessman, or a big businessman!" The ship boss suddenly laughed.
"Oh? How did you tell?"
The boatman laughed and said, "Hey! Isn't this easy? With a face as beautiful as yours and a tall and straight figure, how can an ordinary commoner raise one like you?"
"Yeah?"
"you still need to ask!"
Lu Yun said casually: "Well, boatman, I also want to ask you a question, and you must answer me truthfully."
The boss of the ship was dissatisfied and said: "Look what you said, as long as you get on the ship, you are a guest. I must tell the truth what I know. If you don't know, there is no way!"
At this time, the ship entered a reed marsh. Lu Yun looked at the dusk as the sun set to the west and asked softly: "How long have you been doing this?"
"Hey! To tell you the truth, I have lived in this big swamp since I was a child, and I have been doing this boating job for thirty or forty years!"
"That's not what I asked!"
Lu Yun said coldly: "I'm asking about your business of killing people and selling goods. How long have you been doing it?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
There was only a "pop" sound, and the boat owner disappeared, leaving only a solitary boat in the lush reeds.
Lu Yun didn't panic at all. He was like a traveler, sitting in the middle of the wide water waves, quietly admiring the sky dyed red by the sunset.
After about half a stick of incense, there was finally movement in the surrounding reeds.
Dozens of small wooden boats carrying a group of men, women, and children surrounded Lu Yun. They held weapons in their hands, and the boat boss was among them.
He held two short-handled axes in his hands, and while clashing and knocking them, he said with a smile: "It seems that a fat sheep came today, brothers tied him up!"
Lu Yun looked around with cold eyes. For some reason, all the water bandits who made eye contact with him lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
"Both men, women, and children, all have weapons in their hands. It seems that no one will die in vain." After saying this, he disappeared in full view of everyone.
"Where are the people? Where have they gone?"
"This is really a ghost. A living person has disappeared like this!"
The water bandits discussed, with a hint of panic in their expressions.
"Shut up, everyone, and don't make any noise!" The captain of the ship shouted loudly, staring at the surroundings with fierce eyes: "You all stay calm, let me see~"
At this moment, a death-like voice sounded in his ears.
"I think it's better for you to shut up first!" The captain of the ship swung his ax and slashed backwards without thinking too much.
Poof!
He suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and his entire field of vision flipped up and down. The last image that caught his eye was a headless corpse spurting blood.
Suddenly, the entire reed swamp and even Daze Lake were filled with strong winds, and a figure kept flipping and moving among them, accompanied by screams from time to time.
boom! boom! boom!
Lu Yun's eyes were cold, his body muscles were slightly arched, and his facial features seemed to be squeezed inward.
Anyone who was in contact with his fist exploded like a fruit, and the remaining limbs floated on the water, and the blood dyed the entire reed swamp red.
"Help! I don't dare anymore!"
"Devil! You are the devil!"
When the last person exploded, Lu Yun's figure also appeared.
He did not leave directly, but followed the direction the water bandits came from, heading deeper into the reed marsh.
