Summary of the previous chapter: When Gou Fei was about to tell the secret, a cold arrow appeared from nowhere and successfully shot Gou Fei to death. After some inspections, Ma Xiaoquan concluded that Gou Fei died of severe poisoning.
The killer used ice needles. On the other hand, Mao Gang and Lu Xian continued to test Ma Xiaoquan's pressure. They dug out the body of former Fancheng guard Yu Shuang. Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to expose his weakness and temporarily calm down.
The storm...
Lu Xian and Mao Gang looked at each other, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, and for the first time, they both said in unison: "Well done, continue to monitor him for me!"
"yes!"
Seeing Yuan Fang and Ding Yi slowly retreating, Mao Gang said: "Oh, Mr. Lu, how are you? How did my plan of killing three birds with one stone go?"
Lu Xian nodded with great satisfaction and said: "It's not just three birds with one stone. You, Mao Gang, are simply two birds with one stone. However, I am really satisfied with this effect, hahaha...
..”
Mao Gang picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Lu Xian and said: "Now we also know how to deal with that guy's immortality. Well, it seems that I, the ANBU, will not be in a hurry to practice, haha...
....”
Lu Xian's eyes narrowed and he said: "Well, how about you pull out the people from your ANBU and let me take a look?"
Mao Gang chuckled: "Master Lu, why didn't you say pull out your shadow guard and let me have a look?"
Lu Xian laughed and pointed at Mao Gang with his index finger, and the two laughed at the same time...
Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoquan led the Ma brothers to pay homage to the grave of Yu Shuang, the former guardian of Fancheng.
After burning some paper money, Ma Xiaoquan ordered: "Ma Yun and Ma Yu, now I have something to ask you two."
The two of them trembled slightly and said respectfully: "I will obey the master's instructions."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and whispered in their ears...
At night, at the door of the inn where Mr. Lu was staying, a man in linen clothes quietly came. The man's body was stooped and hunched, and he kept coughing, as if he was suffering from illness.
"Bang bang bang" the man knocked on the door of the inn.
There was a creaking sound, and the door of the inn was opened a crack, and a weak portable light shone out.
"What?"
The man made a trembling voice and said: "Stay in...the store..."
"This store has been booked by our young master, please stay here elsewhere!"
There was a "bang" and the inn door was closed tightly again.
The man coughed a few times and knocked on the door again patiently.
The door opened again.
"It's you again? Why don't you leave?"
The man gasped and murmured: "I have money, lots and lots of money, please let me stay for one night..."
The doorman heard this and cursed: "You are sick, get out of here!"
The man held the door open for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm really rich, look..."
"Go, go, go..." The doorman was just about to push the man, when he saw that the man was holding a luminous pearl in his hand.
The night pearl gave off a bright light, illuminating the door of the inn.
Just as the doorman was about to reach out to take it, the man chuckled and retracted his hand.
"I want to stay in a hotel!"
The gatekeeper was in a dilemma, but thinking that this man had a luminous pearl in his hand, he couldn't help it.
"Okay, okay, you can come in, but you can only live in the woodshed, and no one can know that you have come in, do you hear me?"
The man nodded and said quite honestly: "I just want to sleep for a while, I'm really too sleepy."
The doorman looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he quickly opened the door wider, and then pulled the man in.
When my hand touched the man's clothes, it felt like I had grabbed something.
The man chuckled and whispered: "My whole body is full of treasures. Don't tell me. I recently discovered a good place. That place is full of treasures. I have told many people, but they just don't believe me.
....."
The doorkeeper was very excited. After closing the door gently, he quickly led the man to the woodshed.
After entering the woodshed, the gatekeeper closed the door. Then, his expression suddenly changed, and he pulled out the dagger with a clang.
"Hand over all the money you have!"
The man was stunned for a moment: "What? You want to rob?"
The doorman snorted coldly: "Not only is it robbery, but I don't want to take your life anymore. Anyway, this inn is rented by my young master. Even if I kill you, it can be said that you broke in and assassinated my young master."
..."
The man chuckled and looked indifferent, spreading his hands and saying: "It's useless for you to kill me. You think I'm the only one. Let me tell you, there are my accomplices outside the door. If I don't go there for half an hour,
If you go out, they will become suspicious, and this suspicion... I'm afraid your young master will know..."
The man was sure that the doorman was afraid of his young master. Sure enough, once he heard that the young master would know, the doorman immediately shivered. He put away the dagger and said with a smile: "Well, I won't kill you, but you have to tell me the treasure."
Where?"
The man turned his eyes and looked at the doorman: "You really want to know?"
The doorman nodded and reported his family name: "My name is Liu Bao, I am a local, I live..."
The man oh-ohed twice, smashed it, and said: "Yes, since you are so sincere, I might as well tell you that there are too many treasures anyway, and we can't get them all. My accomplices and I have thought about it.
We'll just take a little, and we won't take most of the rest. If we take too much, we won't be able to take it away, and people will be suspicious... I see you are so sincere, well, your young master must be a wealthy family.
Man, let me tell you..." As he said that, the man took out a sheepskin picture from his arms.
"There is a map drawn on this sheepskin. I believe you can understand it. Okay, take this sheepskin and go out. I will rest for half an hour. After half an hour, you come and call me, and I will leave. I will also
I have to hurry..."
Liu Bao chuckled and took the sheepskin picture, without looking at it carefully, and put it in his arms.
After coming out of the woodshed, Liu Bao couldn't wait to run back to his house. He lit the oil lamp excitedly and took a look through the light. He was overjoyed.
"Damn it, this time it's..." Liu Bao cursed and continued, "But should I tell the young master, this..."
After thinking for a moment, Liu Bao decided to put away the sheepskin first and wait until the man left half an hour later.
...
In the woodshed, the man with a sallow complexion suddenly stood up, straightened his body, stretched out his hand to touch his face, and murmured: "My wife, this human skin mask is just for the damn good, I don't feel any discomfort at all."
None, it’s his grandma’s. You said those women with enlarged breasts, don’t they feel uncomfortable with the silicone and saline bags stuffed in their breasts?”
As the man spoke, he took out a thin bamboo stick from his arms and quietly turned the door bolt.
He gently slipped out of the woodshed. The man was not in a hurry to search. Instead, he first chose to squat in a corner and observe to make sure that no one was there, and then slowly climbed up the wall.
There was no one on the wall, but the man didn't dare to relax at all, because he knew that what he was going to do now was very bold, and if he failed, then the subsequent things would not be possible.
Along the wall, the man crawled bit by bit.
There was no moonlight tonight, so the man was lying on his knees and thinking to himself: God help me.
After crawling for a while, the man stopped next to a room.
He gently threw a delicate small box under the corner, and then crept away quietly.
The subsequent process is nothing more than repeating the same action. When doing these actions, the man is very careful and cautious.
Finally, after dropping the fifth small box, the man crawled back along the original path.
...
Half an hour later, Liu Bao opened the firewood shed and found the sallow-faced man sleeping soundly.
Liu Bao gently kicked the man with his foot: "Get up, half an hour is up, let's go quickly!"
The man rubbed his eyes, stretched, and sighed: "You are really stingy. You said half an hour, but it was really half an hour. Forget it, you are an honest person, so I will give you this night-light pearl."
Here you go..."
As the man spoke, he reached into his arms, took out the night pearl, and threw it to Liu Bao.
Liu Bao carefully picked up Ye Mingzhu without raising his head. When he reacted, the man had disappeared.
Liu Bao was shocked and hurriedly ran to the gate. He ran to the gate and took a look. The door was open a crack. It seemed that the man had left.
"Huh..." Liu Bao patted his chest and gently closed the door.
At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the inn.
Liu Bao pricked up his ears to listen and almost peed his pants in fright.
I just heard someone shouting outside the door: "Catch the thief, he has the Night Pearl in his hand, don't let him escape, the Night Pearl is ours..."
Liu Bao swallowed hard and thought to himself: Damn it, it turns out that man with the sallow face is a thief...
In an upper room of the inn, Lu Xian and Mao Gang were discussing their next plan when they were suddenly attracted by the noise outside the inn.
Lu Xian opened the window and shouted outside the room: "Liu Bao, what's going on?"
At the gate, Liu Baowei said solemnly: "Sir, there...are...there are thieves..."
"Is there a thief?" Lu Xian's eyes were cold, "Muyi, let me go and have a look!"
In the darkness, a weak voice responded: "As you command!"
Mao Gang walked up to Lu Xian and smacked his mouth: "Oh, it seems that someone has an idea for you, Mr. Lu. Well, okay, let me see what your shadow guard is capable of...
