Chapter 225: Such a few spiritual stones may not be enough
The two Jindan Qi people shuttled through the city of Luofeng County. They obviously knew the route by heart. Luofeng County would arrange monks to patrol at night, and these two cleverly avoided the patrol route.
At this time, Li Haoran was woken up by the Sui people. After listening to his fiancée briefly explain the ins and outs of the matter, his expression was a little strange.
“Senior Brother Meng’s flaunting of wealth has finally been noticed?”
"What do you mean by showing off your wealth? I have money and I can't tell others about it?" Meng Jingzhou glared. When he was the young master of the Meng family in the Imperial City, who would dare to stare at his things?
The Su Yi people secretly followed the two Jindan Qi with the three of them. When they were walking around the room, Lu Yang caught a glimpse of someone in the distance walking around the room just like him.
"Are the nights in Luofeng County so lively?"
Lu Yang wanted to chase after him to see what was going on, but he saw the two Jin Danqi climbing into a high-walled house, so he had to worry about the matter at hand first.
"I remember this is... the Sheriff's Mansion?" Li Haoran hesitated, suspecting that he had remembered it wrong.
The Phoenix Blood Stone worth half a million spiritual stones is indeed precious, but it is not precious enough to make a county guard's heart beat.
Unless Senior Brother Meng bought the Phoenix Blood Stone for another reason.
The high-walled mansion is surrounded by formations. If you advance rashly without following the rules, you will be noticed by the people inside the mansion.
The Sui people ignored the formation and successfully led the three people into the house.
"Master, we are back." The two Jin Danqi said respectfully to the middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back.
Li Haoran had never seen the county guard before, so he didn't know whether this middle-aged man was the county guard or a butler.
The middle-aged man hummed lightly: "Have you got that thing?"
The two of them felt a little ashamed: "We encountered an accident and we were worried about making too much noise, so we didn't continue to steal the thing."
"Accident?"
"Yes, we met the same people who stole that thing at Li Haoran's house. Although they did not reveal their identities, I suspect that they are people sent by the Mo family."
"What's going on? Tell me in detail."
The two of them restored the scene accurately, but the master was furious: "Huh, you have been deceived! What you met was not the Mo family at all, but Taoist disciples!"
"If my prediction is correct, they are eavesdropping on the room right now!"
"I've said it all, so come out and let's talk openly and honestly."
Li Haoran was startled, and when he was about to show up, Lu Yang held him back.
Lu Yang shook his head and said nothing.
The master waited for a long time but no one showed up: "It seems that the people you met are indeed the Mo family. Sure enough, the Mo family also knows about the existence of that thing."
He was just cheating casually.
Yesterday, he heard a report from his subordinates and learned that three Taoist disciples in the foundation-building stage had come to Luofeng County, and one of them was a native of Luofeng County. However, he did not take this matter to heart.
Unexpectedly, a subordinate reported this afternoon that one of the Taoist disciples bought an extremely rare Phoenix Blood Stone and went to other shops to look for similar Phoenix Blood Stones.
When he heard his subordinate describe the appearance of the phoenix blood stone, he was startled and suspected that it was the problematic phoenix blood stone.
This cannot fall into the hands of the Taoist Sect. It would be terrible if the Taoist Sect finds out the clues.
He sent two of his men to steal the Phoenix Blood Stone and met the Mo family.
The Mo family was the largest family in Luofeng County, and they couldn't deal with him, the county guard, and they always wanted to take advantage of themselves.
"Tsk, I don't know how that thing got out. Did the owner of the shop selling that thing ask?"
"He is no longer here. I heard from the clerk that the shop owner made a lot of money and went on a trip with his wife and children. He won't be able to come back for a while. Now there are only a few clerks left to look after the house."
"It's so enviable."
"Ah, sir, what did you just say?"
"nothing."
The county guard said that after finishing this job, he would take his wife and children to visit other places.
"What do the mines say and when will things be completed? We can't always use the cave collapse as an excuse to prevent miners from going in to mine."
The reason for the collapse of the mine can only be delayed for a while. After all, in the world of immortality, a few high-level monks can directly dig out a new mine.
Take the county guard himself as an example. As long as he takes action, he can open a mine in half a day. Now he claims that something went wrong in his cultivation and he will not be able to take action within half a month.
"They said it would take another three days."
"Let them speed up, but they must keep it confidential and never let outsiders know about this matter. This matter not only concerns us, but also concerns the interests of the Phoenix Clan!"
"yes!"
Lu Yang and the others were stunned after hearing this. What did the governor mean? He was still colluding with the Feng clan?
With the advent of the Great Age, the overt and covert struggles between the Central Continent and various forces have intensified, including the conflict between the Central Continent and the Monster Clan.
Some of the demon clan want to go to war with the Daxia Dynasty, while others want to ease relations with the Daxia Dynasty and face the great crisis together, so the demon clan is divided into the war faction and the peace faction.
"I just don't know which faction the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan belong to."
Lu Yang heard that the demon clan sent many spies to sneak into the Central Continent, with plans to cause trouble secretly.
"Also, do you know what to do with them after they finish this thing?"
Having said this, the county guard showed an expression that he couldn't bear to do it, but he had no choice but to do so.
The two Jindanqi were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes revealed murderous intent.
"Are you saying...that they have worked overtime these past few days and should be paid three times their wages?"
"right."
The county guard turned around and was stunned for a moment when he saw the eyes of the two Jin Danqi.
"Why do you look like this?"
The two Jindanqi sounded somewhat resentful: "Master, when we were working the night shift, you never said you wanted to give us money for processing, like you did tonight."
Even if you don’t need to sleep during the golden elixir period, you can’t use it during the day and continue using it at night, right?
My wife is still waiting under the covers.
How come other people get paid for working overtime, but their work is in vain?
"... I'll also give you some processing money."
"Master, what should I do with the Phoenix Blood Stone?"
"Hmph, if you can't keep it secret, then let's do it openly. You guys will pretend to be businessmen tomorrow and say that the Phoenix Blood Stone is very rare and spend a lot of money to buy it!"
"How much does it weigh?"
"One million spirit stones!" The county guard didn't believe it. This was a deal that netted half a million spirit stones. Would a disciple of the Taoist Sect in the foundation-building stage be tempted?
The two Golden Core Stage monks looked hesitant.
"What's the matter? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Sir, that Taoist disciple may not be short of these spiritual stones."
"Then one and a half million spiritual stones!" The county guard was furious. He didn't believe that two million spiritual stones were not enough for the other party to let go?
"Maybe it's not enough."
"Two million!"
"It's still not enough."
The county guard was furious: "Then tell me how many spiritual stones it takes for the other party to let go! I don't believe that the other party is only in the foundation building stage. How many spiritual stones can he have, and he won't be tempted by two million spiritual stones!"
"We heard that the other party is the eldest son of Meng."
The eldest son of the Meng family, these two words together mean overwhelming power and wealth that no one dares to mess with.
As the first family in the Central Continent, the Meng family has a great reputation.
The county guard became even more angry when he heard this, and was not afraid of Meng Jingzhou's identity at all: "What about the eldest son of Meng? At worst, I will steal it myself tomorrow night!"
