Just when Lu Jin was feasting alone at the banquet before the banquet started, Wu Ming and others had arrived at an independent hut in the backyard of the Hou Mansion. At this time, Wu Ming glanced gloomily to the left and right. I saw several sergeants behind Wu Ming salute to Wu Ming very knowingly, and then dispersed. At this time, Wu Ming came to the door and said to the room in an extremely soft tone:

"My subordinate Wu Ming. If you have something important to do, please see the Marquis."

"It's Wu Ming. Come in." As soon as Wu Ming finished speaking, a deep voice came from the room. The voice was not very loud, but the words were full of majesty and courage that was arrogant to all.

After Wu Ming heard the words coming from the house, he did not dare to neglect for a moment. He immediately opened the door and entered the house. The furnishings in the house were very simple. There were several plans and several cushions. Under an extremely ordinary table, there was a simple table. There is an unpretentious desk. Behind the desk sits an old man who is concentrating with his eyes closed. He is wearing a Chongyun crown and a purple robe. He has a face with a Chinese character, a high nose bridge, Fang Haikou, and his gray hair is combed back. It must be neat and tidy. The two pairs of inverted sword eyebrows are rich and powerful. The two half-opened and half-asleep eyes are not angry and intimidating. The whole person exudes a domineering and courageous attitude. This person is none other than Lingnan. The military and political leader of the county. Liao Ze, Lord Liao, who was granted the title of Marquis of Ling Ji.

After Wu Ming entered the house, he felt something strange. For some reason, the air in the house contained a faint scent of jasmine. But this was the residence of Mr. Liao after all. Even if there was something unusual, he, a subordinate, would not be able to ask about it. So he hurriedly He bowed down to Liao Ze who was sitting behind the case and said, "Master Hou is well."

At this time, Liao Ze sat there very peacefully. He didn't move. He didn't even open his eyes. He listened to Wu Ming's greetings and just said lightly:

"There's no need to talk so much about etiquette. If you have any important matters, report them as soon as possible."

"Yes." Wu Ming responded quickly. Then he organized his thoughts and reported to Liao Ze: "My subordinates have found Lu Jin."

"Oh." After hearing Wu Ming's words, Liao Ze's eyes opened instantly. Two eyes that made people dare not look directly came out of his eyes in an instant, making the aura in the whole room become extremely depressing in the blink of an eye. But Wu Ming was Liao Ze's confidant after all. He would not be suppressed by this powerful aura. So he quickly continued:

"My subordinates followed the instructions of the Marquis and arranged for men to pretend to be assassins to pursue him. They met Lu Jin in the south of the city. The subordinates followed the instructions of the Marquis and praised Lu Jin. They also said that there would be a heavy reward. He didn't say a few words that Lu Jin was really good. I took the bait. Now I am at the banquet in the front yard of the Marquis Mansion. How to deal with this person? I would like to ask the Marquis to tell me."

"Well, you did a good job. How is the death row prisoner?" At this time, Liao Ze closed his eyes again and asked Wu Ming below him calmly:

"The death row prisoner pretending to be an assassin was poisoned to death as soon as he found Lu Jin." Wu Ming did not dare to neglect and answered quickly.

"This death row prisoner does have some abilities. He was hit by this prince's 'spiritual conjurer' and he was still able to run for more than an hour. He is indeed a talent. It's a pity that he can't be used by me." Liao Ze said, his face involuntarily changed. He became sad, as if the person who died was close friends with him. But he returned to normal after a while, and continued to say to Wu Ming below:

"Since Lu Jin is here, I will also do my best to serve as a landlord. I will entertain this distinguished guest with good wine and meat. After the birthday banquet is over, I will act according to my plan."

"I understand." Wu Ming lowered his head and responded loudly. Then he raised his head and asked Liao Ze for instructions very humbly: "Then I will go and make arrangements first."

"Hmm." Liao Ze didn't reply. He just said "Hmm" softly. After hearing this, Wu Ming stood up immediately. But before Wu Ming could stand up, Liao Ze suddenly asked Wu Ming: "Oh. By the way. How about the sergeants who went with you?"

Wu Ming was a little overwhelmed by Liao Ze's sudden question. But his reaction was quite smart. He immediately knelt down again and replied respectfully: "I followed the order of the Marquis. I didn't reveal the slightest truth to them. ."

"Yes." Liao Ze responded and sighed. He continued to face Wu Ming below: "Even if you don't know, you will still have doubts in your heart. In this case, let's kill the few sergeants who are accompanying us today. They leaked the news before I took action."

Wu Ming was shocked when he heard Liao Ze speaking the kill order calmly. Then cold sweat broke out all over his body involuntarily. Although these sergeants had not been with him for a long time, they knew some of them. His character was still very loyal and honest. It would be a pity to kill him like this. But as the saying goes, military orders are difficult to deal with. Since the Marquis gave the order, as his subordinate, he could only obey the order. So Wu Ming calmed down and answered:

"Subordinates take orders."

"In that case, you can go down." After saying that, Liao Ze closed his eyes completely, as if what he just said was not his own.

Wu Ming said "yes" and stood up slowly. He retreated to the door. Then he turned around and walked out of the room...

It was as if nothing existed in the room at this time. It was so quiet that it was a bit scary. And Liao Ze was sitting there like a lifeless statue, motionless. Just like that. After a while, Liao Ze's lips moved slightly. .said:

"I didn't expect that your strategy would be so effective. Now Lu Jin has taken the bait. I hope it won't be like last time. In the end, the success will fall short."

"Then this is up to you, Lord Marquis. Don't be as impatient as last time. You hurriedly took action without waiting for the top experts to be mobilized. As a result, you lost your wife and lost your troops." At this time, from the screen, Later, a soft and boneless but yet mean woman's voice came. In line with the woman's words, the whole room was suddenly filled with the rich fragrance of jasmine. It seemed a bit out of place for this simple and unpretentious house.

"Are you laughing at me?" After hearing what the woman said, Liao Ze was filled with anger and shouted towards the room.

"How dare the little girl laugh at the Marquis? The little girl is admonishing the Marquis to be impatient and unable to eat hot tofu." The woman didn't seem to be afraid of Liao Ze. Instead, there was a hint of smile in her words. She spoke softly to Liao Ze. Said eloquently.

"Don't think that I don't know your details. You must know it too. The Huaqing Pavilion is not as prosperous as when the master was in power. So I advise you to do your job honestly and wait until the work is completed. I will definitely reward you heavily. Otherwise, hum..." When Liao Ze said this, there was a hint of murderous intent, which made people shudder.

"Hey. Why is the Marquis so angry? The little girl is just a prostitute. She has a place to live and settle down because of the favor of the Marquis. It's too late for the little girl to repay the kindness of the Marquis. How can she have second thoughts? Here." After hearing Liao Ze's murderous words, the woman's attitude immediately softened, and her tone became more gentle.

After hearing that the woman's attitude softened, Liao Ze nodded slightly and said in a lower tone:

"I know that you have hidden your identity in Jizhou's Zuihua Building to find out the news about Lu Jin. It is indeed not easy to go back and forth between winter and summer. However, it has been very profitable. Not only do you know Lu Jin's every move at all times. You also took the opportunity to find out his greedy and arrogant temperament. I heard that you spent five thousand taels of silver on this."

"Master Hou is really aware. This is indeed the case. What I didn't expect is that Lu Jin has no interest in me, the top star of the 'Drunken Flower House', but he is obsessed with the silver. It really makes the little girl feel unwilling." The woman said. As he spoke, his tone became sad, making people feel a sense of pity in their hearts.

"Haha. Why don't you want to be unwilling? In this way, when I am done, I will help you restore the past glory of 'Huaqing Pavilion'. How about." After hearing the woman's words, Liao Ze felt an imperceptible expression on his face. Smile and say to yourself.

"The little lady has thanked the Marquis here." The woman replied quickly.

"Hmm. How is that old guy Zhao Yi?" Liao Ze was obviously very satisfied with the woman's attitude, but his tone was still very cautious. He looked at the room with half-squinted eyes and asked.

"The master of 'Hua Qing Pavilion' is well-known in the world. Even if Mr. Zhao is very skilled in martial arts, he can temporarily withstand the power of the medicine. But the secret skill of the 'Tiangang Dragon Binding Formation' is probably even more powerful." He has no wings. He can't even think of escaping." The woman said calmly, but every word was deadly and every word had murderous intent.

"Why did I forget this formation? This old man Zhao Yi is going back to his hometown to visit relatives. In fact, he is a spy sent by the emperor to investigate me. Naturally, I can't let him go. I can't Let these twenty years of hard work go to waste. According to rumors, it seems that no one has cracked this formation yet. Humph. In that case, I will take the old man's head as a sacrifice flag. But the top priority is to first Lu Jin has caught it." As he spoke, Liao Ze opened his eyes, revealing an unstoppable kingly domineering aura. It seemed as if the whole world was under his control. His clenched fists rattled from time to time. The sound of his joints filled the whole room with a creepy feeling.

"The little girl will first wish the Lord Hou a successful start. Success is imminent." The girl smiled and expressed joy to Liao Ze.

Liao Ze was happy after hearing the woman's words. An unnatural smile appeared on his face, indicating that he still accepted it. At this moment, Liao Ze suddenly put away his smile, raised his head and stared at the roof, and shouted loudly: "Who is it?"

As he said that, he raised his hand and heard a loud "boom". A big hole was punched through the roof by Liao Ze's palm. However, no one could be seen through the hole.

"He ran pretty fast. He seems to be a master. But running out of the Hou Mansion is harder than reaching the sky." Liao Ze put away his palms and said as if talking to himself. But he did not continue to chase. Instead, he closed his eyes as if nothing happened. He sat there minding his own business. The whole room became quiet as if nothing happened...

On the roof not far from Liao Ze's house, a figure passed by quickly without leaving a sound under his feet. This person was none other than Zhang Lian. At this time, she recalled the power of that palm with lingering fear. Because she just managed to escape that slap, which almost killed her.
