"The contents recorded in this scroll can't be false, right?" The old man in black asked while looking through the contents of the scroll.
"Where did the Lord say that?" The man in the white robe mask said: "These two scrolls were obtained by my subordinates with great difficulty."
"Oh?" The old man in black looked suspiciously and asked in a deep voice, "So, Li Wushang trusts you?"
"People like Li Wushang will not trust anyone." The man in the white robe mask was stunned after hearing this, but he still said what he was thinking frankly.
"How could a person who doesn't trust anyone let you steal this thing so easily?" The old man in black revealed his eyes through the mask.
"There is really no chance of getting these two things in front of Li Wushang." The man in the white robe mask sighed softly, seeming to understand the implication of the old man in black: "This subordinate was sent by the Lord to lurk beside Li Wushang. Hiding your identity is already exhausting your efforts, so how can you dare to do such a risky thing?"
"Tianhao died in battle! You have never been trusted by Li Wushang, and you can still successfully bring two things back?" The old man in black pondered for a few breaths and asked: "I am very curious, how can you do it on your own? Can you do it with your own strength?"
"One of Li Wushang's problems is that he is conceited! He always thinks that no one can break the trap he has set up, and no one can defeat him." The man in the white robe mask snorted coldly: "He got something from Xu and Wei. Knowing that the exit from the underground pontoon was in great danger, he deliberately let his subordinates take the two of them to escape from here, clearly intending to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
"Do those two old guys trust Li Wushang so much? Don't they have their own judgment?" The old man in black asked with interest after hearing the words of the masked man in white robe.
"Li Wushang was injured by a master in the pavilion, so he stayed in the pavilion on the grounds that his inconvenience would hinder the two of them." The man in white robe said: "When the two saw Li Wushang, he ordered his subordinates to take them to escape. , I was really touched.”
"So Li Wushang took the opportunity to ask Xu and Wei for the making methods of Caihou Paper and Fire Seal Clay?" asked the old man in black.
"Li Wushang gave Xu and Wei 50,000 taels in deposit, and promised that as long as they handed him something, he would let his subordinates take the two of them to escape, and then go to Beiluo Hutong in Stone City to get the other 50,000 taels." Bai The masked man nodded.
"Scheming against Tianhao and defrauding him of the law, it seems that Li Wushang has already turned against him." The old man in black thought of Tianhao's death, and his anger rose again.
"It's a pity that Li Wushang didn't take it into account. His subordinates took advantage of every opportunity to gain the trust of Xu and Wei." The man in the white robe mask sneered coldly: "These two old guys are fond of drinking and sex. I really want to order them." People are disgusted.”
"Okay! I missed it. I didn't expect you to be so tolerant." The old man in black patted his palms a few times: "Did you get these two scrolls from Xu and Wei alone?"
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is!" The man in the white robe mask continued: "These two scrolls were obtained by my subordinates from Xu and Wei when they entered the underground pontoon."
"Although those two old guys are fond of wine and sex, they are not stupid! I am very curious, how did you get the two guys to hand over the scroll to you without any doubt?" asked the old man in black.
"My subordinates secretly told them in the name of Li Wushang that they need to prepare another scroll in case of unexpected events." The man in the white robe mask said.
"Using their trust in you?" The old man in black shook the scroll in his hand and said with a smile: "No matter what, you did a good job!"
"Tianhao's death was due to his arrogance, and he deserved it! I have always made clear rewards and punishments. You have received a slap just now, and now I will give you a reward for taking back Caihou paper and making fire seal clay." The old man in black took the palm. As the wind blew, a low roar came from his mouth. The man in the white robe mask felt warmth rising in his Dantian, and the pain in his body also eased.
"How do you feel now?" After about a cup of tea, the old man in black withdrew his palm and stopped whispering, and asked.
"Thank you, Lord. I feel much better." The man in the white robe mask knelt on one knee and cupped his hands.
"That's good!" The old man in black raised his hand towards the masked man in white robe: "You no longer need to monitor Li Wushang. Come back and help me with my affairs."
"Lord, Lord?" The man in the white robe mask made a flattered voice, and for a moment he couldn't even speak.
"What? You don't want to?" The old man in black smiled.
"Subordinate, of course I am willing," the man in the white robe mask said.
"I just have something important for you to do. Come here." The old man in black waved to the masked man in white robe.
"Lord, this?" The man in the white robe mask looked at the two scrolls that the old man in black handed back to him, feeling a little confused for a moment.
"Why, do you have any objections?" The old man in black asked coldly as the masked man in white robe took the scroll and remained silent.
"I don't understand, why should I hand over such a hard-earned scroll to others?" The man in the white robe mask seemed to have mustered up the courage to ask.
"Didn't you understand what I just said?" The old man in black repeated what he just said: "Xu and Yun are not as stupid as you think."
"This?" The man in the white robe and mask was able to break out of the dangerous Ziyan Pavilion. He is not an ordinary person. Hearing the words repeated by the old man in black, he immediately clasped his fists respectfully: "I am ignorant, please give me some advice." .”
"Forget it! Since this person has been used to replace Tianhao, we can't hide it from him completely as before." The old man in black thought about this and said with a smile: "Xu and Wei just listened to your side of the story and handed over the things. Why did you come out?"
"Xu Yunjin and Wei Hanwen trust their subordinates, and they also need their subordinates to protect them from leaving the cabinet safely. Only then will they hand over their things!" said the man in the white robe mask.

"Trust is impossible. It is true that you need to work hard to protect." The old man in black smiled and said: "Xu and Wei only handed over part of the preparation method, but they kept a hand, so they naively thought that you would throw a trap and protect the enemy." They were fine, but in the end they could not escape the fate of being abandoned."
"What kind of backup plan did the two of them have?"
"These two scrolls record the production methods of Caihou Paper and Fire Seal Clay, but they are both single products. So how to blend Caihou Paper and Fire Seal Clay together to make the final Fire Seal Silver?" The old man in black pointed. asked the key question.
"This, this, have you really never thought about this?" The man in the white robe mask shook his head.
"I can't blame you. Even Tianhao and Li Wushang wouldn't think of this level." The old man in black spoke with pride.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that Xu and Wei thought that their subordinates knew what they had in store for them, so that they would be able to hand over their things without fear and follow them out of the cabinet?" The man in white robes suddenly heard what the old man in black said. I will regret it.
"Haha, they are in big trouble this time! If they fall into that person's hands, they must be guilty." The old man in black laughed loudly.
"This subordinate neglected his duty and failed to bring the person out. Please be punished by the Lord." The man in the white robe and mask held his hands in apology.
"They can miscalculate, but I can't." The old man in black waved his hand: "The person who just ordered you to deliver the scroll is my backup."
"Subordinate, I understand!" The man in white robe stared blankly at the scroll in his hand, and praised respectfully: "The master has a wonderful plan, and I am ashamed that I can't match it."
"Go!" The old man in black waved his hand: "Proceed with caution! If it succeeds now, it will be regarded as the first achievement, and it will be in vain that I saved your life from many difficulties and dangers many years ago."
"I will definitely live up to my master's trust." The man in the white robe mask retreated.
"Report to steward Lu, the master of the pavilion has issued an order!" Just as Tong, Liu, and Lu were closing their eyes in the steward's room to rest, the voice of a guard came from outside the room.
"What's your order, sir? Come in and answer." Steward Lu suddenly opened his eyes, flipped the mechanism on the handle of the chair, and the door to the steward's room opened instantly.
"Report to Steward Lu! Two thieves broke into the forbidden area of the building through the guard room. The master of the pavilion asks you to lead someone to arrest them!" A guard with an unfamiliar face approached and bowed his hands to Steward Lu respectfully.
"The forbidden area in the building? Guard room?" Manager Lu frowned in confusion and asked, "What forbidden area is there in the guard room? Why have I never heard of it?"
"My subordinates don't know either! The pavilion master has told me that if you have any doubts, go to the guard room and have a look." The guard with an unfamiliar face replied.
"I got it! Go down!" Manager Lu waved his hand, and the strange-faced guard bowed and slowly retreated.
"It seems that the opportunity mentioned by senior has come." Tong Bo, who had been standing by Manager Lu at some point, suddenly said.
"Senior, you seem to have doubts?" Liu Ningshi and Tong Bo stood side by side behind Guanshi Lu, and the two of them dressed up as guards in front of outsiders.
"First, the orders from the Pavilion Master to the stewards are always given face to face, never from the guards, and it is still an unfamiliar face; secondly, I have been with the Pavilion Master for twenty years, and I have never heard that there is a restricted area in the guard room. The entrance, and the building is heavily guarded, how could it allow thieves to break in easily?" Manager Lu analyzed.
"Senior has really never gained the trust of the pavilion master. Even the thieves know the entrance." Liu Ningshi joked: "Brother Xiangyun once said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, even if there is a scam. It's better to have a chance than to sit here and wait for death."
"What Miss Liu said is true." Tong Bo said with a smile: "Besides, isn't it strange that those two so-called thieves can break into a place that even the stewards in the pavilion don't know?"
"You mean, there is their internal support in the cabinet?" Manager Lu immediately understood what Tong Bo meant.
"I can't think of a second explanation." Tong Bo showed a determined look: "So even if it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, it is necessary to break into it."
"If there are no mountains and rivers, there will be no hope." Liu Ningshi smiled sweetly and said, "Senior, are you still backing down?"
"I've finally convinced you. Why don't you try to break into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den?" Manager Lu stood up. This moment seemed to return to that high-spirited moment thirty years ago.
"But when you go out of this door, you have to be extremely careful no matter what you say or do. After all, everything in the building is under the surveillance of the Pavilion Master." Tong and Liu looked at each other and smiled when they saw Manager Lu's appearance, but then another message came from Lu. The steward's voice.
