In the dark dungeon, Xue Luosha Gu Zijin used stones to scratch another mark on the wall. She carved many strange symbols scattered on the rough wall panel.
Most of them are incomprehensible to outsiders. Only the regular scratches can vaguely be seen to record the time she was locked up.
Gu Zijin's spirit was terrifyingly strong. After being locked up in this lifeless dungeon for so long, he was still able to maintain a clear mind and record the time he spent in prison down to the hour.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the dark prison, and Gu Zijin raised his head subconsciously. Two guards in royal robes carrying lanterns walked in front, followed by a nobleman in gorgeous clothes.
The two imperial guards who led the way deliberately blocked the light so that she could not see the noble man's face clearly.
"Palace Master of Xuehua Palace, haha, it's the Jinyi Guards who have neglected you."
The voice sounded like it was that of a young man. Now that he had revealed such a secret, Gu Zijin's eyes changed slightly. Her hidden identity was exposed. This was not a good thing.
When the man saw that she was silent, he threw a sword to the Jin Yiwei beside him and motioned for him to put it in front of Gu Zijin. When Xue Luosha, who had been dismissive at first, saw the sword, his expression suddenly changed.
This sword was given to her after she secretly met Shangluo when she went to the capital.
"Excuse me, Palace Master, for worrying about it. The girl is living a good life with us. However, this sword is a murder weapon. It is still inappropriate for the little girl to hold it, so I will return it to the Palace Master."
The man smiled and then said: "I just don't know what the relationship is between the Lord of the Palace and the King of Swords? Taking care of his daughter like this, let me guess, is it a chance meeting? A golden acquaintance? Everyother's alliance?"
Xue Luosha's eyes became fierce, and the chain that locked his hands made a slight sound.
The man's voice slowly became cheerful: "It seems that I guessed it right. It's just that Li Guishou somehow provoked the young lady of Huangfu's family. In this way, he still has unrequited love for the crazy man and the woman. Tsk , so pitiful."
"what do you want to say?"
Gu Zijin raised his head coldly, staring at the figure hidden in the darkness with his eyes without a trace of warmth.
"Come and discuss a business with the Lord of the Palace. After all, it's not right to keep you locked up like this. Food is not cheap these days, so I can't keep you in vain for the rest of my life." There was a hint of joking in the man's tone.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Zijin looked at him sarcastically.
The man coughed and said: "I heard that the palace master has some friendship with Yan Fengyun, a beggar gang, and I would like to ask you to write a letter to persuade Master Yan to submit to the imperial court."
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
"......What did you say?"
What surprised Gu Zijin was not that her relationship with Yan Fengyun was discovered, but that this person actually asked her to write a letter to Yan Fengyun to persuade him to surrender?
This is simply a joke, not to mention that Jin Yiwei's reputation has long been notorious in the world. How could a generation of heroes agree to such a nonsensical request.
However, looking at the table and ink that Jin Yiwei brought for her, Gu Zijing's thoughts suddenly moved. She said hoarsely: "What good will it do if I help?"
"Freedom." The man gave the highest and most false reason.
"Okay." Gu Zijin agreed happily and started writing as soon as she picked up the pen. However, she did not believe in Jin Yiwei's credibility at all. The main reason why she was willing to write was that she was now trapped in the prison and could not escape by her own strength. She had no choice but to Borrow Yan Fengyun's help.
The hypocrisy is only temporary. As long as this letter falls into Yan Fengyun's hands, he will definitely be able to guess the intention based on his understanding of himself.
A letter of persuasion was written quickly. Lu Hanjiang took it and read it. The content was quite satisfactory and was basically written according to his own requirements.
However, he is not stupid either. This letter must be the same as the one sent to Linglong, using code words that they cannot know.
However, Lu Hanjiang didn't have the time or energy, and he didn't need to decipher the secrets. All he wanted was the handwritten letter from Gu Zijin.
After leaving the dungeon, Lu Hanjiang immediately called Huangfu Xiaoyuan and said to her, "I have something for you to do."
"Please give me your instructions, sir." Huangfu Xiaoyuan said.
Lu Hanjiang first took out Gu Zijin's autographed letter and handed it to Huangfu Xiaoyuan: "Put this thing away. I will disguise you as Linglong in a while. You can go to the Beggar Clan with this letter. There is no need to deliberately make trouble." Liang Benlang is not an ordinary expert when it comes to making noises. If you go there, you will definitely be caught by him. When the time comes, you don’t have to fight tooth and nail to resist. You can just show your hands and let them detain you."
"Yes." Although this arrangement sounded strange, Huangfu Xiaoyuan did not question it and agreed immediately.
Lu Hanjiang immediately took out a thousand transformations and used the art of disguise to transform Huangfu Xiaoyuan's face into an exquisite one. After finishing, he gave her a few instructions and let her go.
Then, Lu Hanjiang called several deputy Qianhu and asked bluntly: "Which of you has the best escape skills?"
This question made them all confused. Generally speaking, they would only run away when they couldn't be beaten. Being good at this kind of kung fu was really an unspeakable thing, but it didn't look like Lu Hanjiang was deliberately entertaining them.
After looking at each other for a few times, Ying Wushang stood up and said with some embarrassment: "Sir, the Qinggong of humble positions is always good. If you have a job, you may give it a try."
"Very good, you stay." Lu Hanjiang asked all the deputy Qianhu except Ying Wushang to step back.
Then, Lu Hanjiang responded to Wu Shang and said, "Right now, Yan Fengyun is on his way back to Bishui City. I want you to find him before he comes back and tell him that Snow Rakshasa is in your hands. If you want him After returning to the Beggar Clan, no matter what others say against him, he must acknowledge it one by one, otherwise...you don’t need me to teach you what happens next, right?"
"..."
Ying Wushang didn't know how good the relationship between Yan Fengyun and Xue Rakshasa was, but he knew how risky it was to threaten the heroes of the Beggar Clan. Whether he could defeat the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms or whether the corpses could be put together was a question. .
But crises often come with opportunities. Jinyiwei lost several thousand households a year ago. Now everyone knows that Mr. Lu is short of manpower. This trip to Miao territory is an opportunity. He must show enough value to be qualified to be promoted by Mr. Lu. .
So he immediately knelt down and promised: "Don't worry, sir. I will not disappoint you in this humble position."
"Um."
Lu Hanjiang took another pendant from the table, with a piece of light-colored jade tied on a delicate red string: "This thing was bought by me and the saint from Miao Di. It is similar to Mengying Jade, but not as good as it." It is precious, many Miao people carry it as a talisman, please accept it."
Ying Wushang was a little confused, so Lu Hanjiang explained: "It's not easy to escape after provoking Yan Fengyun, but as long as you run fast enough, when he gets tired of chasing him, he happens to get this piece of jade from you. Make clues, maybe you’ll give up after struggling for a while.”
"..."
Ying Wushang really wanted to say that you must have read too many story books, and no street storyteller would dare to make up stories like you, but in front of Lu Hanjiang, he still didn't dare to say what he was thinking.
But what Ying Wushang didn't know was that how much he didn't trust Lu Hanjiang's nonsense at the moment, he would make up for it exponentially in the future with his admiration.
Some of the methods may seem ridiculous, but they are indeed very effective. You can always trust Mr. Lu when it comes to troubleshooting.
