Granny Wei led Xie Bangui through the dark corridor and walked into a hall with a dome and no beams. The whole hall was not only strangely built but also sinister.

Had a few chills.

Granny Wei raised her hand and said, "Everyone, please wait a moment. I'll go ask the young master's family to come out."

After the old woman left, the tall fat man raised his head and said, "Why is this house built so strangely?"

Xie Bangui said slowly: "This is a tomb!" What is a building with a dome without beams if it's not a tomb?

"Brother!" A cold little hand suddenly grabbed the corner of Fatty Gao's clothes. Although there was a layer of clothes between them, the cold air coming from that hand made the fat man's waist and eyes numb.

When Fatty Gao turned around, he saw a little girl of seven or eight years old blinking her eyes and pulling at the corner of her clothes with a smirk on her face. Not only were her pupils surprisingly big, but they also looked empty, and there was no trace of them at all.

The spirit of the living.

In shock, the fat man raised his hand and slapped the child on the head, but Xie Bangui stopped him in mid-air.

Xie Bangui said with a smile: "Friend, please put away your weapons! My brother has a bad temper. It will be bad if he breaks your weapons."

As soon as he finished speaking, the child spread his hands and ran towards the door. Only then did the fat man see that the child was connected to several silver threads that were thinner than fishing line, and all her movements were completely blocked.

Controlled by silver threads, it looks like a puppet at the mercy of others.

"Not many people can see through ghosts at a glance, and Mr. Xie is truly worthy of his reputation." A woman dressed as a young woman came holding the child who ran out. Although her voice was clear and sweet, there was a faint chill in it.

: "I am in the dark, Qingxue, and I have met you, sir."

Xie Bangui looked him up and down and said, "Mrs. Mingxue represents Wu Yamen?"

"No." Ming Qingxue shook her head and said: "I quit the Wu Yamen twenty years ago, and now I am only employed by the proprietor. As for who my proprietor is, you will see it soon."

Fatty Gao lowered his voice and said, "Girl Cai, why does this woman look a little evil?"

Xiao Cai is obviously very wary of Ming Qingxue: "She was one of the four evil spirits in the witch yamen back then, and her status is equivalent to the five poisons in the shaman yamen. She is a very evil person with curses. Try not to deal with her as much as possible."

After hearing this, the fat man instinctively moved two steps back, avoiding Ming Qingxue as much as possible.

Not long after, Granny Wei came back with a handsome young master: "This is my young master, and he is also the target of your protection in this mission."

The young master clasped his fists and saluted: "I have met all the heroes in Zhu Yuze."

"She's a woman!" Xiao Cai reacted first, but didn't say anything.

Fatty Gao curled his lips and cursed in his heart: "Red lips, white teeth, oily hair and pink face, just like his mother Rabbit..."

Xie Bangui said with an expressionless expression, cupping his fists and saluting: "Mother-in-law, do you want us to protect this young master?"

"That's right!" Granny Wei handed Xie Bangui a map: "As long as you send the young master to Weihaiwei to board the ship before the beginning of winter, your mission will be completed. The route to Weihaiwei is as shown on the map.

, and must be on the road at night.”

"Must you travel at night?" The tall fat man raised his eyebrows, "You young master can't see the light of day?"

"Presumptuous!" Granny Wei scolded angrily: "What is the identity of the young master? Is this something you can make fun of?"

"It doesn't matter!" Zhu Yuze looked at the fat man with interest and said, "This Mr. Gao has a funny tongue and I like it very much."

The fat man became more energetic now: "Did you see? Your young master is still sensible, the master didn't say anything, why are you nagging, a woman like you, our house, would have been dragged out and slapped in the mouth a long time ago

…”

"Fat man, please stop talking." Xie Bangui changed the topic before the old woman exploded: "Granny Wei, from the map, it seems that your starting point is not Yangzhou but the capital."

"That's right!" Granny Wei suppressed her anger and said, "We lost a lot of manpower from the capital to Yangzhou... so we had to seek foreign aid."

Granny Wei seemed not to want to say more about what happened on the way: "This Madam Mingxue is also one of our foreign aids."

Xie Bangui nodded and circled a few red dots on the map and said, "In addition, do we have to strictly follow the map, or should we just stop at the designated place once?"

"You can control this yourself." Granny Wei said, "But you must ensure that you stay at each marked location for at least one day. It is up to you to decide when to set off and when to settle down."

"Okay!" Xie Bangui said cheerfully: "Is there anything else you want to explain?"

"Yes!" Granny Wei clapped her hands gently, and someone brought up six sealed black pottery jars one after another: "These six jars are your second target. It would be better if they could all be sent to Weihaiwei safely.

It doesn’t matter if something gets lost along the way.”

Xie Bangui reached out and touched the impact mark on the jar: "I understand. How many more people will set off with us this time?"

"There are only the young master and Mrs. Mingxue." Granny Wei looked at Zhu Yuze with some reluctance and said: "Young master, I have never suffered hardship since childhood. You must serve me carefully along the way. No matter what, you must ensure that the young master

The Lord's safety, if anything goes wrong, I can take your lives even if I join forces to offend you and do whatever I want."

Fatty Gao said carelessly: "Don't worry, we have never failed."

"This is best." Granny Wei said with red eyes, "Young Master, take care of yourself along the way."

Just as Zhu Yuze was about to speak, Xie Bangui said first, "We won't leave for now, you can still get together for a few days."

Granny Wei's face darkened: "What do you mean?"

"Of course we need to prepare." Xie Bangui's eyes glanced back and forth between Eunuch Li and Mrs. Wei: "Who will pay for the preliminary preparations?"

Eunuch Li smiled and said: "Dongchang can take full responsibility. How much does Mr. Xie want?"

"At least two hundred thousand taels of silver." Xie Bangui's offer shocked Eunuch Li. After hesitating for a few times, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I'll go back and make some arrangements."

"Okay!" Xie Bangui was not polite: "Give me 50,000 taels in cash first. When you have raised the remaining 200,000 taels, you can come to me at any time."

"This..." Eunuch Li obviously didn't bring that much money.

Zhu Yuze said: "Mother-in-law, go and prepare 60,000 taels of silver notes for Mr. Xie."

Granny Wei reached out and took out a stack of banknotes, roughly counted them and handed them to Xie Bangui: "Master Xie, keep it. If you don't have enough, you can come back to me at any time."
