Chapter 24 Infiltrating the Manor

Follow the route given by the vegetable vendor.

Chu Ge walked smoothly to the kitchen in the manor and unloaded the food and wine.

He said to the kitchen steward: "Sir, I will go to the second master to collect the money. This cart will be placed in this courtyard for now."

The steward waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Go ahead, go ahead."

"Thank you, sir."

Chu Ge walked out of the kitchen yard, and then took advantage of the break to collect the money to look at the layout of the manor along the way.

The defense is relatively lax, probably because it has been a long time and no mistakes have been made.

Let these people have confidence in the defensive strength here.

Chu Ge smiled. After receiving the money, he followed the route he had explored before and came to a rockery near the hut.

Chu Ge restrained his aura and hid here motionless.

It's approaching evening.

In the kitchen, a cook saw the cart still parked in the yard and said doubtfully:

"Why is Old Liu Tou's cart still here today? Hasn't anyone left yet?"

The steward curled his lips and said nonchalantly:

"He's just a food delivery guy. No matter what he does, maybe the second master will be unhappy today and be..."

The steward scoffed and wiped his neck.

The cook shrank his neck in fright, and then let him go.

Those who work below will not ask the second master for an outsider delivering food.

The sky was getting dark, and Chu Ge, who was hiding in the dark, listened intently to the movements around him.

After taking his shift, a guard walked over from a short distance to the latrine.

Chu Ge quietly touched the opponent's back, then neatly broke the opponent's neck and dragged him back behind the rockery where he had previously hidden.

After taking off the other person's clothes and putting them on.

Chu Ge transformed into the guard again and walked majestically in the manor.

In the kitchen.

Chu Ge, who had changed his identity, came here again.

Pretending to be greedy for wine, he opened the bottle of wine he had brought today and drank a spoonful of it himself.

"What a drink, everyone is blessed today."

Chu Ge took advantage of the break between spooning the wine to quietly mix the medicinal powder hidden in his sleeve into the wine, and stirred it a few times with a wine spoon.

The steward of the kitchen laughed and scolded: "You little bastard, you know how to steal food. Hurry up and move the wine to the front yard. Dinner will be served later. There is a lot of good meat delivered by Old Liu today."

"okay!"

Chu Ge laughed and responded, then rushed to the front yard carrying several jars of tampered drinks.

...

Night falls.

In a hall in the front yard, burning charcoal pots are burning around, dispelling the severe winter cold outside.

Except for a few guards on duty at night, most of the people in the manor gathered here to drink and eat meat happily.

Chu Ge, who was sitting in a corner, looked around the room.

On the innermost table, two middle-aged men were sitting.

One of them was wearing a luxurious Taoist robe trimmed with gold. He had a thin face, a horse face, narrow eyes, and a pale complexion. Although he was not good-looking, he was not ordinary.

Such an ugly face leaves a deep impression on people.

It is the second-in-command in the manor who is called the second master by the people in the manor.

Although they are both Taoist priests, they have nothing to do with leaving the state religion and pursuing Puritanism.

Rather, some quack magicians have learned some strange skills passed down from ancient times and pieced together some cultivation methods on their own.

I heard that most of them are extremely evil.

Because these people often use the name of Shangqingguan to cheat and deceive, they caused Shangqingguan to send people out to clean them up once.

However, there are many people on the other side, including all three religions and nine schools.

It was really difficult to eradicate, and eventually it was settled.

He just instructs the state governments to take precautions. If they encounter someone causing trouble, they can report it to the capital, and Shangqing Temple will send people to deal with it.

The other person was a burly man with a ferocious face, with a half-finger-long scar on his left cheek, sparse eyebrows, and fierce eyes.

As he looked around, a feeling of irritability came over him.

This is the leader of the village, a fifth-grade Huajin martial artist.

A fifth-grade martial artist, a sixth-grade evil cultivator, plus dozens of acquired warriors.

It seems that the treasure hidden here should be extremely important.

It is most likely what Chu Ge is looking for this time.

Before coming to Baishan Town, he had already visited three places mentioned by Lin Qingyong. Although he had harvested a lot of treasures and a large amount of money, there was nothing in them that Chu Ge thought would be worth the risk of a third-grade warrior.

Chu Ge silently counted the time.

After the time for two sticks of incense has passed.

Everyone in the hall, some of whom were weak in strength, were the first to be unable to withstand the power of the medicine and fell down without saying a word.

"What's going on? The food and wine are poisonous!"

The others reacted quickly, but it was too late.

This is the secret medicine that Chu Ge found on the copycat leader of Liufeng Village before. Even Ye Suyu, who is at the peak of the fourth rank, has fallen victim to it, let alone these guys.

Since it was winter, the doors and windows inside the house were closed tightly, and the night guard outside was not aware of the situation inside the house.

It wasn't until the noisy sounds in the house suddenly stopped that people outside felt something was wrong.

Several guards drew their long knives and cautiously surrounded the house.

"Master Hu, Second Master, are you okay?"

Before the guard finished speaking, a figure quickly rushed out of the house.

Blood spattered and fell in mottled red on the plain white snow.

Several warriors in the Houtian realm were quickly killed by Chu Ge.

After clearing the guards near the front hall, Chu Ge returned to the house again.

Walked up to the two innate masters at the back table.

The ferocious-looking Mr. Tiger glared at Chu Ge angrily and said: "No matter who you are, you have offended the wrong person today. The owner of this manor is definitely not someone you can afford to offend. Hand over the antidote quickly."

If you retreat, you may still be able to save your life."

Chu Ge was not in a hurry.

I picked a bench from the side and sat down.

He looked at the other party and said with a smile: "Isn't it Lin Ruofu, the Right Prime Minister of Dali Kingdom? So what if I rob him of his things?"

Master Hu had a look of astonishment on his face and said, "How did you know?"

Chu Ge chuckled lightly and said: "His son has no money to go shopping in Jiaofangsi recently, so he asked me to get him some money. So, this is a family matter of Lin Xiang's family. Just tell me where the things are and save me the money."

Go find it with all your strength, and Prime Minister Lin won't blame you afterwards."

The fake Taoist priest Second Master on the side had a cold and ugly face and said with a sneer:

"It turns out it's the young master who captured Prime Minister Lin. You're really brave."

Chu Ge twisted the blood-stained sword in his hand into a sword, squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them:

"I'm not going to hide it from you two. Your master in Kyoto rebelled a few days ago and failed. He has already been imprisoned and will be executed soon. So you don't have to worry about not being able to pay your dues after losing your treasure."

"Hand it over now. I, Duan Zhengchun, promise to take the treasure and leave without harming your lives. How about that?"

Chu Ge keenly noticed that just after he finished speaking, there was a moment of unconcealable horror on the faces of the two people.

Mr. Tiger with a fierce expression shouted: "You kid wants to trick us, but you can't find a decent reason. Prime Minister Lin has power in the government, and even the King of Zhenbei can't do anything to him."

"How could I be sent to prison?"
