In the silk shop in Tian'an County that was used as a secret contact point for the Tiqi, Lu Bai was having breakfast. Opposite him was Zhu Yi, who had become a little tired of serving him in the past few days.
"Lao Lu, can you please give me accurate information on where our Lord Li Xing has gone?"
Zhu Yi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Lu Bai slowly picked up a small fried dough stick and dipped it in the hot and sour soup in front of him. After the fried dough stick had thoroughly eaten through the soup and still maintained its original crispiness on the surface, he picked up the fried dough stick and put it into his mouth. Chew slowly.
That feeling of crispy and sour mixed together.
Tsk.
"Why are you so anxious? I don't know how to check your accounts. Then again, your bad accounts won't stand up to inspection."
Lu Bai was in charge of the prison at Qianhu Station in Cizhou, while Zhu Yi was in charge of the station in Tianan County.
Both of them are typical examples of senior people in Tiqi who have not been able to advance in their positions. They share the same problem and have always been familiar with each other.
"I'm afraid of that? All my accounts are clear. Lao Lu, this is the fourth letter from Shi Qianhu. If Su Lixing doesn't return to Cizhou City, I think Shi Qianhu will come in person. By then Not to mention us, even Mr. Su can’t step down. There’s no reason for Shangguan to come and invite him in person..."
"So I say don't worry about it, because it's useless to rush to death."
Lu Bai picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped his mouth.
The longer I live in the open air, the more I miss the taste of this world. Even if you can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, how come you can let go of the five flavors of this world so easily?
So Lu Bai cherished every meal he had in the past few days and chewed it carefully. Lu Bai felt that instead of being a god who could see through the mortal world, he felt good that he could be an ordinary person with a long life and a comfortable life.
"Don't be so careless, Lao Lu." Zhu Yi looked at the guy: "I have an analogy here. Listen to it."
"Appreciate further details."
"Our Su Lixing is like the white clouds on the horizon, as high as the sky, but I don't know when the spring breeze blows over and the clouds float away. You can't point to him. Shelter from wind and rain.”
"so?"
Zhu Yi analyzed it profoundly.
"Shi Qianhu is like a small mound. It doesn't look very high, but it stands here solidly. Even if a bastard from some fairy family wants to move a mountain back to build a strong appearance, he won't. If you think about moving him, he can still stand here."
"Seedlings like us with deep roots need to understand. We can't point to the clouds in the sky, but we can't stand the slightest movement of the mounds around us, my old Lu."
"Okay, Lao Zhu, I've been in Tian'an for so long, just thinking about what's going on here."
Lu Bai stood up and stretched comfortably.
The sun is shining outside, so it’s time to go out and practice.
"Lao Lu, you have to think about it."
Zhu Yi stepped in front of him.
"I've also told you the truth. If you are determined to follow Su Lixing, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it to Shi Qianhu in the future."
"Lao Zhu, people like us who have been sinking all our lives suddenly have an opportunity in front of us. Even if it is a mirror, we must seize it with all our strength."
Lu Bai smiled: "What's the difference between me following Su Lixing and following Shi Qianhu? Aren't they all for the sake of the Holy One..."
Having said this, Zhu Yi said nothing.
Since he, Old Lu, has already made up his mind, so be it.
There is no use in talking more.
The two fell into silence for a while, then heard a commotion in front of them.
"Lu Bai, Zhu Yi."
Lu Bai's eyes lit up.
"Lao Zhu, that cloud in the sky is back."
The two straightened their clothes and saw Suche coming in from outside.
"Li Xing, where have you been these two days? It's hard for us to find you..."
Zhu Yi stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"You are a land tiger, let me ask you."
Suche was not polite to him either.
"Whose property is Tongde Building?"
"ah?"
Zhu Yi was in a daze for a moment, not knowing what this person meant by suddenly mentioning that family.
"I've taken a liking to it. Find a reason to go there and ask how much they sell it for."
This one is really rude.
Zhu Yi took a breath.
Others didn't know Tongdelou's background, but he knew it.
That is the Langya Wang family's property.
"Bring me a pen and paper, I want to write a letter."
After another command, Zhu Yi quickly moved. Paper and pens are readily available, just take them from the counter.
Suche took the pen and paper and scribbled a letter.
"Lu Bai, please go to Jiankang for me and deliver this letter to my home. Whether it's urgent or not, you can stop by and take a rest on the way."
Su Che said and told Zhu Yi: "Take fifty taels from the account and give it to Lu Bai for him to use on the road."
"well."
Zhu Yi responded quickly.
"Now that Cizhou has just been hit by a disaster, the land price is cheap. This kind of thing makes the local powerful better, so it is better to make me cheaper."
Suche muttered to himself.
"Lao Zhu, if I open a shop, what would it be called?"
"You want to open a shop?"
"Why not open it? Tian'an County is in such a good location, with fertile soil created by immortals like Cizhou in front of it, and behind it is a good place like Jiankang, where things are abundant and people are prosperous. What kind of business is not to make a fortune?"
"Forget it, think about it later."
Su Che said to Zhu Yi: "Do you have official uniforms? Give me another one. Order all your people and come with me."
"Sir, according to the rules, those of us sitting on the ground cannot participate..."
"Rules are dead, people are alive."
Su Che frowned: "Is Tian'an County peaceful?"
Zhu Yi gradually couldn't keep up with Su Che's train of thought.
"pretty good……"
"What a heck, a group of corpse monsters are eating people right under your nose. You don't know how the city god is acting like that."
Suche frowned.
"Have you investigated and reported this matter clearly to Cizhou?"
"This subordinate is guilty."
"It's a serious crime to deceive without repaying. Of course, you didn't mean to deceive. At most, you will be declared incompetent. When the time comes, it will be considered a good thing to cut off one level. This job will make little money and cause a lot of trouble."
Suche frowned: "I've always been kind to others. This time I say it's a bad rule, but I'm actually cleaning it up for you."
"What do you mean, Lord Li Xing?"
"Let's kill those corpse monsters first. Isn't that enough?"
Zhu Yi was a little panicked.
"But here we are..."
My ancestor, I am the only Tiqi in Tian'an County. A few of the boys around him may be able to guess what he does, but they can't do anything.
"Don't worry," Suche seemed to notice his worry: "I've already seen it, they're all out of place."
"You can follow me to Tian'an County later and ask them to send a dozen agents to make you look more powerful."
Suche smiled.
"What about me?" Lu Bai looked at Suche.
Of course he knew how to deal with punishment, but Lu Bai was more curious about why Su Che acted in such an ugly way.
This was not the Su Lixing he knew.
"You go to Jiankang quickly, don't delay my fortune."
Suche waved his hand and sent Lu Bai on his way.
