Chapter 167 Guards
the next day.

It was just dawn.

Cai Dayou seemed to have had his bones removed, and he was slumped on the back of a golden-haired camel.

Lu Tong followed and asked, "Brother Cai, what should I pay attention to later?"

no sound.

He slapped Cai Da across the face.

"Huh? It's here?"

Lu Tong shook his head, and said again: "When you enter the City Lord's Mansion later, what rules should you pay attention to?"

"There are no rules, as long as you don't talk."

He was a little hesitant, and said: "What if you meet the young master or miss of the city lord's house and ask me for something?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm standing outside the private school, and the young masters and ladies may order me to do things."

There are many rules in the big family.

Lu Tong has a lot of thoughts.

Before the accident happened, we began to prepare countermeasures.

"Brother Lu, don't worry too much! There are servants and maids waiting outside, and they won't order you around. The guards are just guards."

He nodded.

It seems to worry too much.

Big family with many rules.

The rules are not only for servants, but also for young masters and ladies.

Close to the City Lord's Mansion.

Turn into a small alley outside the mansion.

Cai Dayou signaled the golden retriever camel to call the door.

Soon, a burly monk with a height of six feet came out and said, "Second steward, what's the matter?"

"Where's Jiapao? I found someone to help you."

The burly monk glanced at Lu Tong, frowned and said, "Half-demon?"

"It's good if someone is willing. Standing at the gate for a day is not a good job!"

"It won't go wrong, will it?"

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

The burly monk snorted.

After a little hesitation, he still took out a very fancy brocade robe, helmet, visor, heavy armor, and a big halberd.

"Remember, don't talk when you get there, and don't worry too much."

Lu Tong took the outfit without saying a word.

The burly monk took out another piece of broken silver, threw it to Cai Dayou, and then turned back.

Lu Tong didn't seem to see it.

Bow your head, put on your outfit one by one, and raise your halberd.

Cai Dayou secretly glanced at Lu Tong, took back the money, coughed and said, "Go, I'll take you there."

City Lord's Mansion.

In the forest, a single-story wooden building.

Open on all sides, there are no doors, walls, or windows, only four columns.

Cai Dayou pointed to one of the pillars and said, "Go!"

"Yes!"

Lu Tong saluted with his halberd in hand, strode to the pillar and stood still.

A mana flew in.

He took the mana, only to hear Cai Dayou's voice transmission: "Brother Lu, I will pick you up again tonight, continue tonight!"

……

Four pillars.

Four monks.

The pillar was motionless, and neither was the monk.

inside.

There were more than 20 children around ten years old sitting there.

An old man with a full head of white hair read aloud word by word while holding a book:

"Today, I will continue to talk about the "Taixuan Ruode Sutra"."

"'Jiuxingmen Kongliezhangdai', what does this sentence mean?"

"Nine elements, the house of man. The first is compassion, the second is restraint, the third is righteousness, the fourth is dedication, and the fifth is humility..."

"If you don't hold the nine lines, your practice will be empty."

"The next sentence, 'When the tree dies, loses its greenness', this sentence is simple, saying that a person is like a dead tree, lifeless."

"You guys, it's just sprouting now..."

outside.

The maids and servants sat bored in the shade of the trees, waiting for the young master and young lady to come out.

……

Five days passed.

Lu Tong went to the City Lord's Mansion during the day and pretended to be a guard.

When you come back at night, first write down what you heard during the day, and then practice the method of killing and reading books.

Everything went better than expected.

Standing under the pillar every day, like a dead thing, without any trouble.

Even, other people in the mansion never looked directly at him.

It's late at night.

Sitting on the top floor of the tower, he opened the "Taixuan Ruodejing" entrusted by Cai Dayou to buy.

A figure landed on the fence outside.

Bai Qiao, here we come.

Lu Tong took a look and put away the book.

I secretly said:

finally come.

If he doesn't come again, he will be in a hurry.

"Fellow Daoist, please."

"No need."

Bai Qiao has an exquisite body, slender waist and thin shoulders, but she is wearing a very wide robe.

Under the night wind.

The big robe blows up with the wind.

Bai Qiao stood on the fence with one foot, looking like she would be blown away by the wind at any moment.

Lu Tong got up and went over, and said, "Brother Song came here 20 days ago. According to fellow Taoist, I have reached a deal with Brother Song."

There was no expression on Bai Qiao's face, she nodded slightly and said, "How much money is short?"

He didn't speak immediately.

After a moment of silence, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's not short of money. But that transaction is related to the city lord, so I'm a little worried."

"What do you mean?"

"The city lord, he privately sells the things in the treasury!"

"what?"

Clothes rattled.

Bai Qiao stood on tiptoe and shook her body slightly.

Night Breeze seemed to get bigger.

Lu Tong nodded, and said: "The things for the transaction are taken from the treasury. I didn't want to agree to it at first, but...but the fellow daoist ordered it, and I had to agree."

He waved out a box.

"This box of fish-eye stones is a trade item."

No one checks the things in the treasury.

But this kind of thing can't be seen in the light. The more people handle it, the easier it is for the rumors to leak.

Lu Tong, Song Yanbai, Cai Dayou, the city lord...

Don't know if there are others.

This kind of brain-dead business.

One mouth is best, two mouths are fine, three mouths are dangerous, four mouths are too many.

If there is a fifth mouth, it is almost safe to have an accident.

Lu Tong is quite courageous.

But without Bai Qiao, she might not have swallowed this deal.

This time:

If Bai Qiaoruo "destroys relatives with righteousness", she will expose the matter.Just earn less and pick yourself up first.

If Bai Qiao "covers Song Yanbai", press this matter.It's business as usual, just throw the burden on Bai Qiao.

Anyway, save your life first, then make money.

Bai Qiao took a step forward.

Fall off the fence.

He walked into the tower, opened the box, looked at it for a while, and said, "Does he know that this is something from the treasury?"

Lu Tong did not speak.

Bai Qiao has the answer in her heart, she doesn't need outsiders to tell her.

"Who else knows about this?"

"The city lord and the second steward of the city lord's mansion, Cai Dayou, I don't know about the others."

Bai Qiao was silent for a moment, then said, "This is just an ordinary transaction."

"what?"

"An ordinary transaction has nothing to do with the treasury."

Bai Qiao turned her head and looked at Lu Tong.

Lu Tongdao: "But... if the news leaks, I will not be able to get rid of the responsibility if the investigation is carried out."

"It has nothing to do with you. You said that you bought the things for me, and I will handle the rest."

"it is good."

very nice.

Such a good woman.

Such a good woman, Song Yanbai actually broke up.

Lu Tong sighed inwardly, without revealing anything on his face.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to take these fish-eye stones away?"

"You are useful?"

"Yes, I have an alchemy formula that can be used for alchemy. But I don't have any familiar alchemists."

Bai Qiao glanced at it and said, "Second Senior Sister can make alchemy, you go to Second Senior Sister."

"Elder Jingxin? Immortal Elder is now a Great Golden Core Cultivator."

Lu Tong smiled wryly.

Bai Qiao doesn't seem to understand how hard it is for monks outside to seek alchemy from alchemists.
