A white line appeared on the edge of the dome, the capital began to wake up, and sunlight filled the entire room through the curtains.
Lu Yun stood by the bed, thinking about what happened last night, still feeling a little frightened.
"I didn't expect that even Da Qian's luck could be disturbed. I was careless."
Lu Yun looked at the witch cloak on his body and was keenly aware that the strangeness and ominousness spreading on it seemed to have been weakened a lot.
"I hope something like this won't happen again in a short period of time. It would be terrible if it attracts Li Longlie's attention." Lu Yun murmured to himself.
After closing the courtyard door, Lu Yun walked in the gradually bustling palace corridor and arrived at Yuexin Palace.
In the distance, you can see the locust tree that is higher than the wall. The locust tree has small locust flowers falling to the ground in the wind.
Lu Yun walked over.
Today, two eunuchs under Xiao Hanzi were on duty at the palace gate. When they saw Lu Yun coming, they first saluted respectfully, and then said: "Mr. Lu, the empress has not gotten up today."
Lu Yun smiled and said, "I understand."
Since Concubine Wu was too tired yesterday, he wouldn't bother her. His main task today was to go to Donghe Township and sign in while investigating Lan Xiang's life experience.
Then, he went to the West Factory again.
The eunuchs on duty at the gate of the West Factory had changed. They didn't recognize Lu Yun, so Lu Yun showed his captain's badge to the two men.
"I've met Captain Lu!"
They both let him go quickly.
Lu Yun went to Cao Ronghui's study and found that there was no one inside. After asking the eunuchs who passed by, Lu Yun stepped into the main hall of the West Factory.
The main hall was much more lively than before. There were more than a dozen people busy, and they didn't even raise their heads to look at Lu Yun. Among them were factory workers waiting to go on a mission and eunuchs working in the office.
"Lu Yun, you're here." Cao Ronghui said with a smile when he saw Lu Yun coming.
"What's up?"
Lu Yun said sternly: "Eunuch Cao, I accepted a mission from my humble position and want a warrant to leave the palace."
After speaking, he handed over the task list.
Cao Ronghui took a general glance and approved it directly for him.
"Go early and come back early."
"yes."
Lu Yun happily took the order, went back to find Zhao Xin, and asked him to notify his men to assemble.
"Yes!" Zhao Xin handed over and left.
After the last show of authority, everyone gathered at an extremely fast speed this time. In less than half a cup of tea, everyone gathered together.
They all looked at Lu Yun eagerly, guessing the purpose of this gathering.
Hu Yanyong and Wang Yang each stood in front of the two small teams. They remembered clearly that Lieutenant Lu had said that he would lead them to promotion and fortune.
However, for now, you don't have to think about getting promoted, but you can still look forward to getting rich.
Lu Yun stood on the stage and looked at the group of people below. He knew exactly what they were thinking. In fact, he had called everyone together just for this matter.
"Ahem..."
Lu Yun cleared his throat and said, "Today we will take you out to kill a group of bandits. Remember to cut off the heads when the time comes. Each head is worth fifty taels of silver."
Fifty taels?
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this number, and they wished they could pick up their swords and fight those people for three hundred rounds on the spot.
Hu Yanyong, in particular, shouted: "Boss, what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly."
However, Wang Yang was more cautious. He hesitated for a while and said: "Colonel Lu, those bandits are not ghouls, are they?"
It is said that the ghoul thief was originally a human being who practiced evil martial arts in order to gain powerful power. Now he has degenerated into a monster and is not tolerated by the Daqian.
They appear in various places in Daqian. Most of them are desperate prisoners. They commit many evil deeds and are forced to flee into the wild and become wild thieves. However, it is difficult for people to survive in the wild, so few of them live long.
But I don't know since when, an evil technique spread among these wild thieves. Even ordinary wild thieves can gain powerful power, allowing them to continue to survive in the wild.
But this acquired power does not come without a price. They can only live by eating human flesh for the rest of their lives, otherwise it will be like being poisoned and their bodies will quickly rot and die.
"Ghoul thief?!"
Upon hearing this name, everyone in the West Factory looked a little embarrassed. They all looked at Lu Yun, wanting a definite answer.
Lu Yun nodded and said, "Yes, he is a ghoul thief."
He was originally just looking for missions related to Donghe Township today, but he couldn't find any, not even near Donghe Township.
He had no choice but to find this mission to eliminate the ghoul thieves.
"Captain Lu, there are quite a few of them, and all of them are brave and fearless of death. They are powerful, ranging from the agility realm to the qi and blood realm. We are the only ones here, so why don't you think about it again?"
Wang Yang's face was a little solemn, and he almost had the words "inappropriate" written directly on his face.
Although the others did not speak, their eyes undoubtedly had the same thoughts as Wang Yang.
"Zhao Xin, what do you think?" Lu Yun did not answer them directly, but looked at Zhao Xin who was waiting quietly.
"ah?"
Zhao Xin didn't seem to expect that Lu Yun would ask him. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, although the ghoul thieves are ferocious and brutal, I believe that with Master Lu here, this battle will be safe."
Flatterer!
Everyone below looked at Zhao Xin's upright and awe-inspiring look, and this word suddenly popped into their minds.
"Um."
Lu Yun nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "If they are just ordinary bandits, let's go and kill them. Each head will cost only one tael of silver, and it will not leave any impression in the eyes of the superiors, but the ghoul thieves No, if we kill them all, Deacon Cao and even Judge Zhao will look at us with admiration!"
"Of course, I, Mr. Lu, will never force anyone to do anything. If anyone wants to quit, just quit. There is no problem."
After that, everyone in the audience looked at me and I looked at you, but no one moved a step.
"Okay! Meet in a quarter of an hour!"
Soon, the appointed time arrived.
Wang Yang and Hu Yanyong led the team at the front, followed closely by Zhao Xin, and a large group of people came huffing and puffing towards this side.
"Huh? Where is the boss?"
After Zhao Xin arrived here, he found that Lu Yun, who was always very punctual, had not arrived, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Wait a little longer, Captain Lu is probably delayed by other matters." Wang Yang said.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded next to them.
"I'm right here."
Everyone then looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw Lu Yun standing there wearing a dark golden cloak. It seemed that he had been standing there for a long, long time.
"Um, boss, when did you come here?" Hu Yanyong asked.
