Longling Mansion.
The light in the attic went out, and the blood turned cold.
There were more than a dozen corpses, gold, silver, copper, crystal, everything you could think of. Only one of them had warm blood.
The Man in Bamboo Hat stood among the corpses and slowly sheathed his saber. "A Soul Corpse King actually has such ordinary blood. Ridiculous. I was so anxious to kill that I forgot to interrogate him about the location of the first storehouse. But it doesn't matter. There will always be someone willing to take me there. "He walked out, bathed in the moonlight, spotless.
He flipped to the roof and suddenly felt something strange. Looking back, he clearly saw a sword light fall in another part of the city. "Hey, it's not an illusion. Who is that? Is it Yan Li? " He said with a self-deprecating smile. "Impossible. Even if he is in the Sixth Realm of Grand White, attacking Longling City alone is suicidal!"
So who was it? Why did he come to Longling City at this time? Feng Jiu couldn't fly on a sword. Could it be a Chief of the Court Of Sword?
The night wind blew, and the scenery on both sides passed quickly. He quickly buried the question at the bottom of his heart. He came to a brightly lit three-story building with a plaque that read: Tower of Light.
The Man in Bamboo Hat couldn't help but be startled. He was like a picky whoremaster who came because of its fame. He didn't expect to find a well-hidden but high-class brothel after just a few steps. The plaque was like the most beautiful courtesan in the brothel standing at the door waving at him. He almost couldn't help going up, but fortunately resisted the temptation. "The unique aura in the building should be Jiang Mingcheng. No wonder he's in the Divine Realm. Even if he's not ranked, he's still so strong that it makes people's scalp numb. What should I do now? Jiang Mingcheng is fine, but if he provokes Thunder Flame, it will be very troublesome. "
He had already stopped breathing, his gaze scanning the Long Ling Residence. Suddenly, he saw a servant carrying a tray from the eastern courtyard's roofed corridor, walking towards the Tower of Light. From his position, he could clearly see that the servant still needed to make a few turns to reach the Tower of Light. The timing was just right. He no longer hesitated, making a large detour around the Light Tower, sticking close to the roofed corridor as he quietly approached the servant. Like lightning, he grabbed him by the neck and carried him into a bamboo forest outside the roofed corridor.
"I'll ask and you'll answer. If you make any unnecessary movements, I'll kill you. Do you understand?" He threatened skillfully and loosened his grip a little.
When the servant realized that he could speak, he lowered his voice in horror and said, "Understood, understood …"
"Don't repeat yourself. I don't like to repeat myself, and I hate it even more." The man in the bamboo hat began his interrogation. "Who is this meal for?"
"The little girl in the first storeroom, I don't know who she is either …"
"Very good, I'm starting to admire you. I hope you won't make me regret it. Now tell me, what's your name? "
"This lowly one is Lu Yong."
"After entering the Tower of Light, we can enter the first storeroom from there."
"There is a secret door at the bottom of the stairs in the east wing."
"How many steps do we have to take to get to the secret door? Are there any hidden tunnels underneath? Where is the little girl locked up?"
"It's big, probably around 20 levels. There are no hidden traps, and the little girl is locked in the third last room."
"That's great, I appreciate you more and more. I think we can be friends. Last question, are there guards there? "
"That, that's the bedroom of the master, there's no need for guards … Sir, I didn't see your face, you promised not to kill …"
The servant swallowed the rest of his words forever. The man in the bamboo hat quickly caught the tray, took off the clothes of the corpse and put them on. Then he smiled at the corpse and said, "I didn't want you to see me because I wanted to give you hope.
But when did I say I wouldn't kill you? Besides, shouldn't friends help each other? Since you've helped me, you've died a worthy death. "He turned around without hesitation and walked toward the Tower of Light with the tray in his hand.
The Tower of Light was not far away. After two turns, two corridors, and passing through the doorway, he caught a glimpse of a tall pine tree planted on both sides of the courtyard.
Upright and unyielding.
He smiled inwardly, as if he didn't believe that the lord of Dragon Order City could have such a noble character. With steady steps and slightly bowed upper body, he passed through the front hall and stepped into the corridor. His footsteps paused for a moment, but the breath upstairs didn't change, so he boldly walked toward the east wing. When he arrived at the door of the east wing, he smiled. Everything had been smooth so far. He didn't doubt anything because he had the strength and the magnanimity to embrace this good fortune.
At the last moment when he was about to push the door open, a shout suddenly came from behind him, "Stop!" The voice sounded very young and immature, and couldn't be more than 18 years old. He turned around and bowed at the right time, "What can I do for you?" As he expected, the owner of the voice was very young and energetic. She had a pair of big round eyes that were staring at him unhappily.
"Which courtyard are you from? Who's the steward? Why didn't you inform me before coming in?" She walked to the man in the bamboo hat and looked at him suspiciously, "I've never seen you before. You're a new face. Tell me honestly, or I'll report to the master immediately!"
"I'm Lu Kang, a distant cousin of Lu Yong. He has a stomachache and asked me to bring him food." The man in the bamboo hat pretended to be trembling and said. Although he lowered his head, half of his eyes were looking at the girl. Judging from her dress, she should be a maid. She was quite beautiful, and although her voice was immature, her body was slender and mature, and she was very charming. The scene of Jiang Mingcheng holding her and playing with her indecently appeared in his mind, but it was just a flash.
"Are you new here? No wonder you don't know the rules at all." The girl walked up and kicked the man in the bamboo hat. She said arrogantly, "I'll teach you, a lowly commoner, that I'm the messenger of the master, Dong Qing. Everyone has to get my permission to enter and leave this building."
The man in the bamboo hat didn't expect that he would be fooled by Lu Yong. He didn't tell him the most important information. But he suddenly thought that maybe it was because he didn't ask.
But Dong Qing continued, "Go and find Lu Yong right now. How dare he so easily hand over the responsibility given to him by the Old Master. He won't learn his lesson unless he is punished a hundred times. And you, since you don't know anything, I'll let you beat fifty times more cheaply! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go! "
"The food is getting cold." The man in the bamboo hat raised his head and said softly.
"How dare you talk back? Kneel down! " Dong Qing was very cute when she glared at him. But it was only her face. There was a kind of coldness and superiority in her eyes, as if talking to him was a great gift. She imitated the way the yamen runner kicked the criminal. She kicked the man in the bamboo hat five inches below his knee. Usually, when a criminal was kicked by a yamen runner like this, he would kneel down involuntarily. When she was a child, she saw it outside the court and felt it was very impressive, so she often did it in the mansion. But she didn't expect that the kick that was usually easy to catch didn't work. The man didn't move at all, and her little foot even hurt.
"You! How dare you disobey! "She was so angry that she raised her hand to slap the man in the bamboo hat. The man in the bamboo hat didn't expect that someone in this world dared to slap his face, so he didn't guard against it and was slapped hard. Seeing that the man in the bamboo hat seemed to be stunned by her slap, she became very complacent and said coldly, "Go and find Lu Yong immediately, or you will be punished according to the family rules!"
This bitch!
A smile slowly appeared on the face of the man in the bamboo hat, and then he slowly lowered his head. "As you wish." He slowly walked out of the Pavilion of Light with a calm pace.
Seeing such a back view, Dong Qing felt a sense of fear in her heart. Of course she was afraid, because the person she slapped was very famous in the Three Realms. When people first saw him, they would warmly call him "Hero Xue".
Hero Xue was slapped in the face, which was something he didn't expect. "Yan Li, oh Yan Li, you owe me a big favor this time. If you can't fulfill my expectations, I will be angry!" He went back to the bamboo forest and looked at Lu Yong's corpse, lost in thought.
Dong Qing was undoubtedly very favored, otherwise she wouldn't dare to beat and scold him so loudly in the Pavilion of Light, and Jiang Mingcheng didn't have any intention to stop her. To get past her, he had to use the identity of Lu Yong.
"Do I really have to let her slap me a hundred times?" He frowned. "She might not be able to hurt me, but it won't be good if word gets out. However, I have to do Yan Li a favor, and he's the only one who can help me deal with that person." Thinking about this, he finally made up his mind. He took out a mask and put it on Lu Yong's face, then he took it off and put it on his own face. He immediately became Lu Yong.
This kind of treasured artifact that could record people's faces was a priceless treasure. In the current world, only Gu Haiyuan could make it, and the conditions to use it were extremely strict.
He held the tray again and rushed to the "battlefield". When he arrived at the Pavilion of Light, he imitated Lu Yong's voice and shouted, "Master Dong Qing."
Dong Qing, on the other hand, was walking down from upstairs. Seeing Master Xue, who was disguised as Lu Yong, a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes for some reason, but on the surface, she reprimanded him sternly, "Who gave you the courage to push the task to others?"
"I won't dare to do it again …" Hero Xue lowered his head and said. He even put on a good show, and his voice was trembling. He was very confident in his ability to imitate.
Dong Qing, on the other hand, was all bark and no bite. She held the tray high and put it down gently. She kicked Hero Xue with dissatisfaction and said, "Come with me, that little prisoner must be starving."
Hero Xue was very surprised. Not only did Dong Qing not ask where Lu Kang went and why he did not come back to receive his punishment, she did not even have to flog Lu Yong. He could only sigh at the impermanence of the world and the unpredictability of human nature. He followed Dong Qing to the east wing. There was indeed a secret board under the stairs, and when it was opened, a staircase leading downwards appeared.
"Walk faster." Dong Qing suddenly winked at Hero Xue and walked down the stairs.
Hero Xue seemed to have understood something in an instant, and smiled mysteriously. They walked down, and just as Lu Yong said, they reached the bottom after about 20 steps. What appeared in front of them was a brightly lit corridor. It was as wide as three horse carriages running side by side, and on both sides were locked warehouses. He remembered what Lu Yong said, that the hostage was kept in the third warehouse from the last.
After a few steps, Dong Qing suddenly turned around and almost knocked the tray off. She glared at Hero Xue with dissatisfaction and threw the tray on the ground. Like a bitch in heat, she hugged Hero Xue and kissed him.
Hero Xue knew that he had guessed correctly. He was still rational, and said fearfully, "Master Dong Qing, will we be discovered by Master?"
"You're such a nuisance!" Dong Qing glared at Hero Xue with hidden bitterness, and forcefully tore open Hero Xue's clothes. "You know that there's a restriction under the warehouse, and Master can't find this place, and yet you say that! Also, yesterday you called me Little Qingqing, and today you call me Master Dong Qing. Hmph, do you have a new lover? "
Hero Xue smiled, but there was not much warmth in his eyes. How could he feel pity for a woman who had slapped him?
Heavy panting could be heard in the underground warehouse.
But even Hero Xue did not notice that there was a pair of eyes that saw everything.
