"Lu, Lord Lu?" Wei Hanwen, who was already extremely weak, saw Lu Qin and seemed to have picked up a life-saving straw, shouting loudly: "Why are you here?"
"Hey? Isn't this Mr. Wei?" Lu Qin leaned forward slightly, looking like he was struggling to see the face of the visitor clearly: "If you don't enjoy the blessings in Heishui City, why do you come to our pavilion?"
"I remember that the master of the pavilion here is Lu Xingyun, don't you think so?" Wei Hanwen's heart suddenly tightened, and he thought of a situation that he had never considered before.
"Mr. Wei is right. In fact, this foreigner is the owner of Ziyan Pavilion." Lu Qin sat up straight and said with a smile, "Lu Xingyun is only temporarily managing this place."
"Since Lord Marquis is the master of this place, he sent his men to arrest the two brothers. What is his intention?" Wei Hanwen asked, glaring at Lu Qin.
"Huh? Catch me. What do you mean by this? I have been apart from you for many years, and it's not too late to invite you. How can I arrest you?" Lu Qin frowned and asked, "Old Zhao, is that right? Are you disrespectful to me?"
"Foreigner Mingjian, my subordinates have been friends with the two elders for a long time, so how can they be disrespectful to them?" Zhao Fei said with a sinister smile: "It's actually the fault of that guy Xie Zi, who shocked the two elders when he captured the fugitive."
"Where's the Scorpion Man? Why don't you come to see me?" Lu Qin glanced around and asked Zhao Fei.
"That's because..." Zhao Fei stepped forward and whispered in Lu Qin's ear.
"Oops! This is all a misunderstanding!" Lu Qin said with a warm smile: "I think it was you and I who found the high-quality rice paper and ink pads when our foreign members were passionate about the art of painting. I really miss that time!"
"Why do you beat around the bush, Lord Marquis? It's okay to just say it if you have anything to say!" Xu Yunjin, who had been in a daze after being stung by the Scorpion King, regained some consciousness at this time.
"It's better for Mr. Xu!" Seeing that Xu Yunjin understood what he meant, Lu Qin took out the banknote he had received earlier and handed it over to Zhao Fei: "What is this, Mr. Xu must be very clear about it."
"Isn't it just a banknote? I'm afraid the most important thing the Marquis needs is this red and white thing." Xu Yunjin glanced at the banknote and said coldly.
"The wise don't speak secretly!" Lu Qin pointed to the banknote in Xu Yunjin's hand: "It's okay if ordinary people don't know about this fire-seal silver. It's impossible to say that paper-making experts like Mr. Xu don't know who they are." Those who don’t believe it.”
"Brother, if you don't know, you don't know. What are you talking about?" Wei Hanwen couldn't help shouting.
"You two elders must think clearly, this is Ziyan Pavilion, not Blackwater City." Zhao Fei, who had been so nice just now, suddenly changed his face and threatened: "If we can't satisfy the outsiders, Fei will definitely let you know what It’s purgatory on earth.”
"Old Zhao, don't be rude! This subordinate of mine is a rough guy, so please don't blame me." Lu Qin and Zhao Fei sang and made a joke: "I'm afraid I'm tired too, so let's go and rest first."
"Take them to rest." Zhao Fei waved to the four guards and joked: "You don't have much time to think about it, if you don't want to be poisoned by scorpion venom."
Looking at Xu Yunjin and Wei Hanwen's slightly trembling backs as they left, Lu Qin nodded with satisfaction, because he knew that their inner defenses were gradually shaking.
"Foreigner! These two old guys are pretending to be crazy and acting stupid. It's really annoying." After the two left, Zhao Fei, who had been joking just now, turned gloomy.
"These two old guys were treated like treasures in Blackwater City. It's not that easy to get them to agree; besides, it's just scorpion poison, so I'm afraid it's hard to make them submit." Lu Qin seemed not to be thinking at all and had a plan in mind.
"Then what should we do? We don't have time to delay it any longer." Zhao Fei said, "We have to leave as soon as possible."
"It's easy to do now." Lu Qin waved his hand and whispered to Zhao Fei: "That's all."
"The outsider's clever plan, let's see if those two old guys dare not submit." Zhao Fei was delighted, but then showed a worried look: "However, touching the Fire Seal Silver is a taboo. Is it really worth it?"
"Old Zhao! After all, you broke out among thousands of troops. Why are you becoming less and less courageous?" Lu Qin said sternly: "Besides, this is a God-given opportunity for our outsiders to make up for the money lost by Ziyan Pavilion." return."
"But, I'm still worried..." Zhao Fei seemed to want to say something more, but Lu Qin waved his hand to stop him: "There's nothing to worry about. Just let the two old guys have something to eat! Let's go down first. .”
"Yes! I'm resigning." Zhao Fei knew that Lu Qin always spoke the truth. Although he was worried in his heart, he did not dare to speak any more.
"Hmph! Do you think I'm easy to bully?" After Zhao Fei left, Lu Qin muttered to himself, "I want to see who wins in the end."
Tong and Liu, who came out of the chaos, were dressed in black outfits, with black cloaks covering their faces tightly, walking in the desolate streets.
"Tch! These two are still ghosts, and they actually lost track of them." Tong Bo looked around and found that Li Wushang and Ye Hu had completely disappeared.
"Even so, Brother Xiangyun must have thought about the next countermeasures." Liu Ningshi was calmer than Tong Bo at this time.
"Thinking of the bustling Ziyan Pavilion before, the current depression and coldness are really unaccustomed." Tong Bo shook his head and sighed.
"Since when did Brother Xiangyun become sentimental? Ningshi thought she was the only one who could express such sentiments." Liu Ningshi joked.
"The girl's words are really getting sharper!" Tong Bo sighed helplessly: "Girl, you might as well think about it, where should we go now?"
"Is this the exam for Ningshi?" Liu Ningshi smiled from the right side of the cloak: "I remember brother Xiangyun always said that the most dangerous place is also the safest place. The place we should go to now should be Ziyan Tower. .”
"Oh? Tell me your reason?" Tong Boyi showed an imperceptible smile from his cloak and asked with interest.
"Along the way, I have been to Ziyan Bank, restaurants, inns, poultry houses, and paper mills, but these places are all in the bustling center of Ziyan Pavilion, and there is no way out of the pavilion." Liu Ningshi analyzed: " Brother Xiangyun said before that the man in white robe wanted to escape, but he was just one of the people who used the secret door, so do Xu Yunjin, Wei Hanwen, Long Huai, and the woman in black also want to leave?"
"The analysis is good. These people should have obtained the road guide from Zhao Fei!" Tong Bo said: "Since there is a road guide, they will definitely take the road that the girl took to enter the cabinet first."
"But Li Wushang and Ye Hu are not among them. Don't they want to leave the pavilion?" Liu Ningshi continued Tong Bo's words: "Purple Smoke Tower is the most mysterious place in the pavilion. Maybe there will be others who will leave the pavilion." road."
"Wonderful, the girl's words moved me very much." Tong Bo said with a smile: "I lost track of him anyway, so I followed the girl's wishes and went to Ziyan Tower to find out."
"In my opinion, isn't this all what Brother Xiangyun has thought about a long time ago?" Liu Ningshi couldn't help but said angrily after hearing Tong Boyan's insincere words.
"However, it is not that easy to enter the Ziyan Tower!" Liu Ningshi changed the subject and expressed her concerns: "Brother Xiangyun said that even Mu Hanlei couldn't get a status to enter the tower. "
"Who are you two? Don't you know that people in the pavilion are not allowed to hang out in the street these days?" As Tong and Liu were talking, a group of guards patrolling the pavilion shouted from a distance.
"Mu Hanlei really can't do it, so we can only use these people who come to our door?" Tong and Liu turned a blind eye to the shouting and continued to communicate with each other.
"Did you hear that?" Seeing that the two were indifferent, a guard who looked like a leader walked over quickly with five people.
"Pa!" As soon as the leading guard walked up to the two of them, before they could react, Tong Bo slapped them.
"You, you dare to hit me?" The leading guard covered his mouth and shouted: "Come here, arrest me."
"Which of you dares?" Liu Ningshi moved, and the dragon-shaped dagger was already placed on the neck of the leading guard. The other five people who had surrounded Tong and Liu suddenly looked at each other, and no one dared to take a step forward. .
"Who are you?" The leading guard felt a sharp chill on his neck. He immediately put away his arrogant and domineering tone and asked shiveringly.
"The two of us are Guanshi Lu's exclusive bodyguards and are performing a secret mission." Tong Bo said coldly.
"Steward Lu's exclusive bodyguard?" The leading guard looked at Tong Bo with suspicion: "I've never heard of Steward Lu having his own bodyguard."
"Hmph! You are a little guard, do you need to know so much?" Tong Bo threatened: "If you hinder us from carrying out our mission, we will be killed without mercy."
"I'm Manager Pei's man! If you kill me, even Manager Lu can't protect you." The leading guard shouted loudly, feeling that the edge of the dragon-shaped dagger was gradually embedded in his body.
"Oh? Really?" Tong Bo sneered: "I want to see what will happen if I kill you, the one named Pei. Let's do it."
"Don't, don't do it, it's just a villain who can't see Taishan." The leading guard immediately became frightened and quickly begged for mercy.
"It would have been better if it had been like this." Tong Bo signaled with his eyes, and Liu Ningshi slowly moved the dragon-shaped dagger away from the head guard's neck: "If you don't believe it, you can go to Manager Lu with us to confirm it."
"Ahem! It's best this way. In an emergency, we can't let people like Xiaoxiao do whatever they want in the pavilion." The guard, who was frightened just now, straightened his clothes and became tough again.
"Then let's go! You must know where Manager Lu is now," Tong Bo said.
"That's natural! The three stewards each have their own residences in Ziyan Tower. Steward Lu must be resting in his room at this time." The leading guard said with a showy look.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go." A smile appeared on Tong Bo's face that was blocked by his cloak, because his goal had been achieved.
At three o'clock in the morning, most of the tents in the Longjie military camp had turned off the lights, and only a few teams of night watch soldiers were walking back and forth holding spears.
"Show me the bright spots with your eyes, and don't make any mistakes." Wang Baihu, who was on duty at night, was wearing armor and holding a torch, scolding.
"Meow! Meow!" Cat meows came from the direction of Beiying. Wang Baihu's expression changed and he quickly walked in the direction of the meows.
"Where did that wild cat come from? It's so annoying."
"That's right, I've been shouting all night." The two soldiers guarding the North Camp cursed impatiently.
"What are you complaining about?" Wang Baihu appeared in front of the camp gate at the right time and scolded.
"I've met Mr. Baihu." When the two soldiers saw Wang Baihu, they immediately bent down and clasped their fists.
"Huh? Where are Chen Qi and Wu Mazi?" Wang Baihu asked immediately after not seeing the two veterans who were originally guarding the north gate.
"Sir, Brother Chen and Brother Ang have diarrhea, so I have asked the younger ones to guard them temporarily." One of the soldiers said.
"Humph, you are really lazy and pee a lot! This family has to go to Beiying to do some errands. You guys should be on duty." Wang Baihu put on a majestic look.
"Don't worry, sir, I will do my duty faithfully." The two soldiers immediately gave way and stood respectfully.
