In the dark dungeon, Snow Rakshasa Gu Zijin used stones to scratch another mark on the wall. She carved many strange symbols here and there on the rough wall panel.
Most of them are incomprehensible to outsiders. Only the regular scratches can vaguely be seen to record the time she was locked up.
Gu Zijin's spirit was so strong that even after being locked up in this lifeless dungeon for so long, he was still able to keep a clear mind and record the time he spent in prison down to the hour.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the dark prison, and Gu Zijin subconsciously raised his head. Two guards in royal robes carrying lanterns walked in front, followed by a nobleman in rich clothes.
The two imperial guards who led the way deliberately blocked the light so that she could not see the noble man's face clearly.
"Palace Master of Xuehua Palace, haha, it's the Jinyi Guards who have neglected you."
The voice sounded like it was that of a young man. Now that he had revealed such a secret, Gu Zijin's eyes changed slightly. Her hidden identity was exposed. This was not a good thing.
When the man saw that she was silent, he threw a sword to the Jin Yiwei beside him and motioned for him to put it in front of Gu Zijin. When Xue Luosha, who had been dismissive at first, saw the sword, his expression suddenly changed.
This sword was given to her after she secretly met Shangluo when she went to the capital.
"Excuse me, Palace Master, for worrying about it. The girl is doing well with us. However, this sword is a murder weapon. It is not appropriate for the little girl to hold it, so I will return it to the Palace Master."
The man smiled and said: "I just don't know what the relationship is between the Lord of the Palace and the King of Swords. Taking care of his daughter like this, let me guess, is it a chance meeting? A golden acquaintance? A vow of eternal love?"
Xue Luosha's eyes became fierce, and the chain that locked his hands made a slight sound.
The man's voice slowly became cheerful: "It seems that I guessed it right. It's just that Li Guishou somehow provoked the young lady of Huangfu's family. In this way, he still has unrequited love for a crazy man and a resentful woman. Tsk
, so pitiful."
"what do you want to say?"
Gu Zijin raised her head coldly, staring at the figure hidden in the darkness with eyes without a trace of warmth.
"Come and discuss a business with the Palace Master. After all, it's not right to keep you locked up like this. Food is not cheap these days, so I can't keep you in vain for the rest of my life." There was a hint of joking in the man's tone.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Zijin looked at him sarcastically and asked.
The man coughed and said: "I heard that the palace master has some friendship with Yan Fengyun, a beggar gang, and I would like to ask you to write a letter to persuade Master Yan to submit to the imperial court."
"......What did you say?"
What surprised Gu Zijin was not that her relationship with Yan Fengyun was discovered, but that this man actually asked her to write a letter to Yan Fengyun to persuade him to surrender?
This is simply a joke, not to mention that Jin Yiwei's reputation has long been notorious in the world. How could a generation of heroes agree to such a nonsensical request?
However, looking at the writing on the table that Jin Yiwei brought for her, Gu Zijing's thoughts suddenly moved. She said in a hoarse voice: "What good will it do if I help?"
"Freedom." The man gave the highest and most false reason.
"Okay." Gu Zijin agreed happily and started writing as soon as she picked up the pen. However, she did not believe in Jin Yiwei's credibility at all. The main reason why she was willing to write was that she was now in jail and could not escape by her own strength, so she had no choice but to borrow money.
Yan Fengyun’s help.
The hypocrisy is only temporary. As long as this letter falls into Yan Fengyun's hands, he will definitely be able to guess the intention based on his understanding of himself.
A letter of persuasion was written quickly. Lu Hanjiang took it and read it. The content was quite satisfactory and was basically written according to his own requirements.
However, he was not stupid either. This letter must have used the same secret code as the one sent to Linglong, which they could not understand.
However, Lu Hanjiang didn't have the time or energy, and he didn't need to decipher the secrets. All he wanted was the handwritten letter from Gu Zijin.
After leaving the dungeon, Lu Hanjiang immediately called Huangfu Xiaoyuan and said to her, "I have something for you to do."
"Please give me your instructions, sir." Huangfu Xiaoyuan said.
Lu Hanjiang first took out Gu Zijin's autographed letter and gave it to Huangfu Xiaoyuan: "Put this thing away. I will disguise you as Linglong in a while. You can go to the Beggar Clan with this letter. There is no need to deliberately make trouble."
Liang Benlang is not an ordinary expert when it comes to making noises. If you go there, you will definitely be caught by him. When the time comes, you don’t have to fight desperately, just show your hands and let them detain you."
"Yes." Although this arrangement sounded strange, Huangfu Xiaoyuan did not question it and agreed immediately.
Lu Hanjiang immediately took out his kaleidoscope and used the art of disguise to transform Huangfu Xiaoyuan's face into an exquisite one. After finishing, he gave her a few instructions and let her go.
Then, Lu Hanjiang called several deputy Qianhu and asked bluntly: "Which of you has the best escape skills?"
This question made them all confused. Generally speaking, they would only run away when they couldn't be beaten. Being good at this kind of kung fu was really an unspeakable thing, but it didn't look like Lu Hanjiang was deliberately entertaining them.
After looking at each other for a few times, Ying Wushang stood up and said with some embarrassment: "Sir, the lightness kung fu of humble positions is always good. If you have a job, you may give it a try."
"Very good, you stay." Lu Hanjiang asked all the deputy Qianhu except Ying Wushang to step back.
Then, Lu Hanjiang responded to Wu Shang and said, "Right now, Yan Fengyun is on his way back to Bishui City. As deputy Qianhu, I want you to find him before he comes back and tell him that Snow Rakshasa is in your hands. You want him to
After returning to the Beggar Clan, no matter what others say against him, he must acknowledge it one by one, otherwise...you don't need me to teach you what happens next, right?"
"..."
Ying Wushang didn't know how good the relationship between Yan Fengyun and Xue Luosha was, but he knew how risky it was to threaten the heroic heroes of the Beggar Clan. It was a question of whether he could defeat the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and whether the corpses could be put together.
.
But crises often come with opportunities. Jinyiwei lost several thousand households a year ago. Now everyone knows that Mr. Lu is short of manpower. This trip to Miao territory is an opportunity. He must show enough value to be qualified to be promoted by Mr. Lu.
.
So he immediately knelt down and promised: "Don't worry, sir. I will not disappoint you in this humble position."
"Um."
Lu Hanjiang took another pendant from the table, with a piece of light-colored jade tied on a delicate red string: "This thing was bought by me and the saint from Miao. It is similar to Mengying Jade, but not as good as it."
It is precious, many Miao people carry it as a talisman, please accept it."
Ying Wushang was a little confused, so Lu Hanjiang explained: "It's not easy to escape after provoking Yan Fengyun, but as long as you run fast enough, wait until he gets tired of chasing, and 'just happens' to get this jade from you.
Make clues, maybe you’ll give up after struggling for a while.”
"..."
Ying Wushang really wanted to say that you must have read too many storybooks, and no street storyteller would dare to make up stories like you, but in front of Lu Hanjiang, he still didn't dare to say what he was thinking.
But what Ying Wushang didn't know was that how much he distrusted Lu Hanjiang's nonsense at the moment, he would make up for it exponentially in the future with his admiration.
Some methods may seem nonsense, but they are indeed very effective. You can always trust Mr. Lu when it comes to troubleshooting.
