"It must have been told by Guard Tong!" Xiao Liu shook his head helplessly: "Young shopkeeper, could you please ask Manager Lu to come to the back hall to talk about it."
"Yes, Qian will invite someone here right now." Seeing Xiao Liu's change of attitude, Qian Shaojun looked happy and hurriedly exited the back hall.
"Huh? I'm really excited to see it on the third day of the recognition!" Not long after, Manager Lu walked into the back hall before he could sit down. When he saw Xiao Liu, he couldn't help but praise him: "Compared to the previous days, my little friend seems to have improved a lot."
"Manager Lu, with your old temperament, you won't come here frequently unless there is something important." Xiao Liu didn't hesitate and asked directly: "Excuse me, what is the matter this time?"
"Hey! My little friend is really quick to talk." Manager Lu laughed loudly: "I heard from Shaojun that I will leave all the decisions to my little friend here?"
"That's right." Xiao Liu puffed up his chest and said with pride, "If you have anything to do with Mr. Lu, just tell him."
"In that case, I won't beat around the bush." Manager Lu twirled his gray beard and said with a smile, "Please, please hand over the land deed of Ziyan Bank."
"The land deed of Ziyan Bank?" Xiao Liu was stunned, and suddenly understood why Qian Shaojun was so panicked just now. It turned out that the pavilion planned to rob Ziyan Bank, and he was very angry and deliberately asked: "I wonder what the land deed of the bank wants, manager Lu?" use?"
"I don't know what the purpose of this land deed is, but I know that as long as it is the master's order, it must be fulfilled." Manager Lu answered accurately.
"How much money did Manager Lu spend to buy this land deed?" Xiao Liu thought of Tong Bo's instructions, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked patiently.
"Silver? Did I hear you correctly?" Before Manager Lu could say anything, the guard in yellow clothes following him couldn't hold it in anymore and shouted: "The master of the pavilion asks you to hand over the land deed because he thinks highly of you. Don't toast without eating." Fine drinking.”
"That's right, a little beggar is pretending to be nothing." Another guard in yellow behind Guanshi Lu also echoed: "I wonder if Qian Shaojun is out of his mind. He actually entrusted a stinky beggar to meet with us."
"Aren't these two the guards who came to Xinzhong with Manager Lu earlier?" Xiaoliu's heart moved, and he thought of it; he glanced sideways at the two guards in yellow and chuckled: "Where did this come from? The two dogs are barking wildly here."
"Boy, you are looking for death." The two yellow-clothed guards had always been rampant in the Ziyan Pavilion. They had never been so humiliated. Two sharp swords came out of their scabbards and stabbed Xiao Liu in unison.
"There is no need to have any mercy on these two dogs." Xiao Liu thought in his mind. The moment the two swords reached his eyes, he clasped his hands together and clamped the two swords tightly.
"Bang!" The green energy in Xiaoliu's palms was like a wind knife. With a squeeze of his palms, he broke the two sharp swords and threw the broken blades back.
The broken blade carried the strong wind and flew towards the eyes of the two yellow-clothed guards. Because the distance between the three of them was too close, the two yellow-clothed guards were caught off guard and froze on the spot, forgetting to dodge.
"It's up to the owner to beat a dog. You don't take me seriously, little friend." As soon as Manager Lu finished speaking, he already had two broken blades in his hands.
"It's common for beggars to beat up mad dogs." Seeing that Manager Lu actually said that the two yellow-clothed guards were dogs in front of him, Xiaoliu suppressed a smile and said, "I'm going to beat them up now, what do you want?" Make a clear path."
As soon as Xiaoliu finished speaking, Manager Lu used his palm force instead of words; the palm strike was not fast, and it even gave people time to think.
Xiao Liu was a young man at heart, and he would not flinch if he could not flinch; but the moment his palms collided, he regretted it.
A huge impact made Xiao Liu's body unstable, but his palm was tightly stuck to Guanshi Lu's palm, leaving him in a dilemma.
"Drink!" Xiaoliu regained his composure after a short period of disadvantage. His sticky palms used up their inner strength again, and the green wind knife cut towards Steward Lu's palms.
"Bang!" Xiao Liu intuitively felt a powerful force that pushed him out a foot away. After Manager Lu's palm quickly retreated, he flew away in the air and attacked like a lion fighting a rabbit.
Guanshi Lu, who originally looked old and slow with his palm movements, now looked like a different person. The dense palm wind completely enveloped Xiao Liu from top to bottom.
"Get up!" Xiaoliu felt like his whole body was about to fall apart when he was pushed. He clenched his teeth and endured the pain to hold the bamboo stick in place, and the green wind wall spread out from his body.
"Bang bang bang!" Manager Lu's palms hit the wind wall one after another. The strong wind from the two palms made the objects in the back hall begin to tremble slightly.
"Interesting!" Manager Lu stopped his attack, and his body sank, landing two feet away from Xiao Liu. His right palm gently pressed against the wind wall.
An incredible thing happened. The wind wall that Xiao Liu had always relied on to protect himself was completely absorbed by Steward Lu's shining white palm.
Manager Lu moved and struck Xiao Liu's Dantian with his right palm. The wind wall that had just been absorbed emitted a faint white light.
"Huh?" Xiao Liu felt several streams of air flow from Tian Dan into his limbs and bones. Not only did he not feel any pain, but even the sword wounds he had suffered in the Ziyan Restaurant were slowly healed. A sound sounded in his ears. A rich voice: "The sea is open to all rivers, and its tolerance is great."
Xiao Liu silently mobilized his internal energy, and the white and green energy gathered in a whirlpool in his palm. The pressure he exerted could even be felt by the guards in yellow who were far away.
"No!" Manager Lu shouted and retreated quickly, but Xiaoliu's movement was faster and his right palm hit him directly in the face.
"Pah!" Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Manager Lu had no choice but to extend his left palm to collide with Xiaoliu, but he was knocked back several steps.
"Okay! My little friend actually still has such strength!" Manager Lu silently channeled his inner strength, adjusted his breathing for a moment, and then stood firm.
"Me?" Xiao Liu was speechless for a moment. He knew very well that he was no longer able to fight since the wind wall was destroyed, but he never thought that not only the sword wound was healed, but also Guanshi Lu was knocked away with a palm.
"Hmph! I'll give you three days. If you don't hand over the title deed of Ziyan Bank, Mr. Lu will raze this place to the ground." Manager Lu waved to the two guards in yellow: "Let's go."
"But?" The two guards in yellow glanced at each other and said reluctantly: "How will we explain to the Pavilion Master when we go back?"
"If you want to risk your lives here, I won't stop you." Manager Lu glared at the two of them with disdain and walked out of the room.
"Little beggar, let's take a look." When the two guards in yellow saw Manager Lu leaving without looking back, they had no courage to face Xiao Liu alone. They just said a few harsh words and followed out in dejection.
"Tch! Steward Lu is really not candid." Xiaoliu soon understood that the blow that Steward Lu took after breaking through his own wind wall not only healed the sword wound, but also taught him the top Taoist mental method of embracing all rivers; Not only that, when he deliberately provoked the two guards in yellow, Manager Lu cooperated with him and put on a show. "
"As Tong Hu expected, the chaos in Ziyan Pavilion has just begun." Xiao Liu clenched his fists.
In the Guanlan Hall of Ziyan Pavilion, Tong Bo pressed his right palm against the wall and knocked twice on the left and three times on the right, carefully searching for the secret cabinet mechanism.
"Dong dong dong!" Tong Bo cheered up and said to himself: "This place seems to be empty. The situation is very similar to the secret door in Salba's room."
"Boom!" Tong Bo pushed out against the wall, and the secret door opened from bottom to top. There was still a solid wall behind the door.
"From this point of view, it is very likely that there is such a secret door in every room in Ziyan Pavilion." Tong Bo looked at the secret door falling back little by little, and thought: "If this is the case, what will happen to the guests here?" There will be no secrets left in front of the Master."
"But how should the wall behind the secret door be opened? Judging from the movements of the two men in black, the mechanism seems to be behind the wall." Tong Bo continued to think: "But if the mechanism is behind the wall, then does every room have a trap? Is that so? What a clever design.”
"Dong dong dong!" Tong Bo knocked twice more and put his ear against the wall to listen quietly: "There seems to be a slight creaking sound behind the wall. I really want to explore the secrets inside."
"Squeak!" Just as Tong Bo was concentrating on thinking, the door of the Guanlan Hall opened slightly, and Liu Ningshi stepped in and closed the door again.
"Hey! Is the girl coming back?" Tong Bo smiled and poured a cup of tea for Liu Ningshi and placed it on the table: "Anything gained?"
"Brother Xiangyun, what do you think this is?" Liu Ningshi took out a pink handkerchief, opened it carefully, and handed it to Tong Bo.
"Where did you find this?" Tong Bo frowned slightly when he saw some light cyan powder collected on the handkerchief. He sniffed it with his nose and found that there was no smell.
"Brother Xiangyun mentioned earlier that the wooden couches where several people were poisoned were carefully inspected." Liu Ningshi said, "These powder particles are left on the couches."
"It seems that these powder particles are the source of the poisoning of those guests." Tong Bo nodded: "No wonder there is no abnormality in the guests' drinks and meals."
"Are these powder grains poison?" Liu Ningshi took the handkerchief Tong Bo returned and asked incredulously: "But before entering, Ning Shi had tested the powder grains with a silver needle and found nothing abnormal."
"Why did the girl know nothing about the situation in the outside world when she was healing Salba just now?" Tong Bo asked, "Is it possible that the girl's perception would be like this?"
"This?" Liu Ningshi blinked her moving eyes and asked, "Did Brother Xiangyun discover something?"
"It's the soothing incense in the incense burner!" Tong Bo said with a smile: "And the incense burner was not lit before Salba and I drank. In other words, the two unconscious maids were the most likely to light the incense burner."
"No wonder Brother Xiangyun wanted to pay attention to these two people with his eyes!" Liu Ningshi nodded: "You can see that Ningshi didn't notice anything wrong when she entered."
"This is not an ordinary soothing incense, but a calming incense specially designed to deal with masters." Tong Bo explained: "If you don't use internal power, you will feel nothing. If you use internal power, you will enter a state of false sleep."
"So that's it." Liu Ningshi stuck out her tongue and came to her senses: "Brother Xiangyun is saying that these light blue powder particles should be like this soothing incense and can poison people under certain specific conditions? "
"That's right." Tong Bo nodded when he saw that Liu Ningshi understood what he meant: "Where are the bodies of those poisoned people?"
"There is a firewood shed behind the dressing room on the first floor of Xuanzhong. The corpses should have been carried in by the guards in yellow." Liu Ningshi's face suddenly turned pale when she mentioned the corpse.
"I'll check it out later." Seeing Liu Ningshi's frightened look, Tong Bo wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud: "There is still some time, I will tell the girl about some discoveries I made."
