The streets that used to be bustling with traffic now seem a little deserted. A group of Xuanyi agents are guarding the alley, scanning everyone passing by with a serious expression.
The tea shop opposite.
"Don't look, you can't get in." Li Tai'an said in an old tone: "If you really want to try something new, wait until the next time the lockdown is lifted, and I will be the host!"
Ning Yan looked away and took a sip of tea: "Have you brought any money?"
"I brought it with me..."
"Give it to me."
Li Tai'an was stunned for a moment and glanced at the government official across the street. He couldn't believe his ears.
Is there any more royal method? Is it so blatant?!
"Ning, don't bully others too much!"
"I read in an ancient book a secret technique for strengthening one's roots and cultivating one's vitality. It is said that an eighty-year-old man can revive his dead wood."
"It doesn't matter what's outside the body. Brother, just take whatever you want."
Li Tai'an took off the money bag hanging from his waist, held it in his hands, and said pleasantly: "Speaking of this secret technique, is it true?"
Ning Yan said casually: "You and I are brothers who have the same love as father and son. How could I lie to you?"
"I feel relieved because of my brother's words." Li Tai'an was overjoyed, but a little confusion passed through his mind.
Why does this sound so weird...
While he was still thinking about it, Ning Yan was already walking towards the alley with his money bag.
"Stop!"
Before he could get closer, a policeman with a lion's nose and a wide mouth came forward and shouted.
Ning Yan hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Gentlemen, what happened to Yanliu Lane?"
"Mind your own business and leave quickly!"
Ning Yan turned slightly, put the money into the other party's hand, and whispered: "I understand the rules, just treat the gentleman to a drink."
The detective weighed the silver and was suddenly startled. He turned around and gestured to his colleagues.
The surrounding police officers immediately understood and began to cover the two of them.
Come to life!
"Just call me Qin Baotou. I can cover you here. Tell me what's wrong."
"To be honest, I was in a hurry when I left last night and left something close to me inside..." Ning Yan felt a little embarrassed: "If someone picks it up and sues my mother-in-law, things will be troublesome. I was about to get it."
Come back!"
Qin Captou looked sympathetic, but was helpless: "It's unlucky for you to come here. Everything is blocked and no one can get in."
"Can you make it easier? I'll leave after picking up my things."
"It's not that simple." Qin's catcher said with a bit of complaint in his tone: "There are people from Prince Rui's Mansion inside. Don't look at me. I am the catcher of Mingzhou City, so I can only watch the gate from the outside." p>
"How's the situation inside? Well, is Miss Lan'er from Yicui Pavilion okay?"
Oops, it’s still a love interest.
Qin Captou smiled and said: "I don't know who the girl you are talking about is, but all the girls in Yanliu Lane are under the centralized supervision of Prince Rui's Mansion. I think everything is fine."
"That's good, that's good!" Ning Yan said with lingering fear, "I just don't know when Yanliu Lane will be unblocked?"
"Don't worry, it won't be sealed for long." Chief Qin looked around and lowered his voice: "Think about it, if Yanliu Lane is not lifted for one day, how much less money will the gentlemen in the state make?"
"I understand."
During the conversation, Ning Yan looked past Mr. Qin and into the alley.
[It’s true that you can’t find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! You are worried that the progress of your cultivation is too slow, but you happen to encounter such a treasure. The wind and clouds are meeting, and the hidden dragon ascends to the sky! This time you must disturb this Yanliu Lane.
Everything is turned upside down!】
What?!
The sudden voice in his head made him frown, but until he returned to the tea shop, the system made no more noise.
Earlier, through Li Tai'an's mouth, Ning Yan had already understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Yesterday, King Rui came to Mingzhou City, and this old pervert couldn't wait to rush into Yanliu Lane to have fun that night.
As a result, he was caught off guard by more than 20 assassins who had already ambushed him.
This group of assassins is headed by five people, including Mountain Spear-Luo Dingwei, Da Ma Heshou-Song Yang, Five Tigers Golden Sword-Wu Tang, Su Xin Sword-Luo Bai, and...
Gu Yuexian-Shen Qiuning.
They are all fifth-level masters!
Of course, there are countless talented people around King Rui, and the result of the shopping spree is tragic.
Luo Dingwei and Song Yang died on the spot, and Luo Bai was captured before they could escape from the city. Only the whereabouts of Wu Tang and Shen Qiuning are still unknown.
Ning Yan originally thought that the other party went to such great lengths to block Yanliu Lane in order to find traces of Wu Tang, but combined with Qin Captou's words, there was something wrong.
If we were really just looking for Wu Tang, why not bring along these experienced local agents?
Unless what they are looking for cannot be disclosed to outsiders.
It should be the treasure mentioned by the system that can make his cultivation skyrocket!
This is also the reason why everyone in Yanliu Lane should be monitored to prevent idle people from taking advantage of troubled waters.
If only I could find...
A flash of madness flashed across Ning Yan's face, but she quickly came to her senses.
Isn’t this nonsense? Shen Qiuning, who was in the third or fourth level of success, could fight against him, but five masters of the same level as Shen Qiuning were killed by Prince Rui’s Mansion.
If you mix it in yourself, you'll basically get it for free.
[What those idiots can't do doesn't mean that I can't do it too! You feel so heroic, and your path of cultivation goes against heaven. How can you live forever if you look forward and backward in everything? Now that you know that destiny is with me, what's the point of everything? Afraid!】
I believe you!
Ning Yan rubbed his eyebrows, this bitch was tempting him to seek death again.
"Brother Ning?" Li Tai'an saw that Ning Yan was sitting there in a daze after coming back, and couldn't help but remind him: "Secret technique!"
"Oh yes, I almost forgot."
Ning Yan asked the boy, took the paper and pen, wrote a few pages according to the advice of the old man in the rebooting bar in his memory, and handed it over: "Here, put it away."
Li Taian felt as if he had found a treasure, as if he had picked up some magical secret book.
Ning Yan patted the kid on the shoulder and encouraged: "Come on, now I will appoint you as the first bar owner of the reboot bar. I hope you can carry forward the spirit of the reboot bar in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Li Taian is a young man at heart, so he just thinks that titles like bar masters sound very majestic.
He looks like he has a lot of authority.
"What about you, Brother Ning? Aren't you here to help me?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Ning Yan sighed sadly: "I don't have enough moral integrity to let go of this mortal world."
"I won't quit."
Li Tai'an shook his head regretfully, and the burden on his shoulders seemed to be heavier.
"See you later." Ning Yan waved and immediately walked towards Chai's Shangxing.
"Hey, Brother Ning!"
"Anything else?"
Li Tai'an considered his words and persuaded him nicely: "Although the Chai family has extensive wealth, they are just a businessman. Why should Brother Ning lower himself..."
After all, the Ning family was a scholarly family, but it was passed down to this generation that they were willing to degenerate into being a bookkeeper, which surprised many people at the time.
The Chai family is not short of money, and there are even few people in Jiangnan and the east who are richer than it. However, none of the descendants have a promising future in school, which always gives people the impression of a nouveau riche.
After all, wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families are two different concepts.
Ning Yan smiled. He knew that Li Taian had no ill intentions. Compared to those who spread rumors behind his back, he was at least upright and honest.
"You are still young, you will understand when you grow up."
These people know nothing about soft rice.
……
"Waste! Everything is waste!"
In the carved and painted hall, a man in a python robe was beating various antiques and jades wantonly.
The rest of the people kept their voices and held their breath, for fear of getting into trouble with this man.
After venting his anger, King Rui Guo Kan's inner irritability subsided a little, and he turned his attention to the golden jade pillar in the middle of the hall.
There is a woman whose hands and feet are tightly tied up with dark iron chains, tied to her in the shape of a large letter.
Guo Kan likes to display his trophies in this way.
This woman is unconscious. Although she is over forty, she still retains her charm. Thanks to her own cultivation, her skin is still as delicate as a girl's.
He hasn't played with a fifth-grade grandmaster yet, so he doesn't know what the difference is from ordinary women...
Guo Kan laughed obscenely and stepped forward to rip off her clothes. The servants who were familiar with him lowered their heads knowingly.
"No." The middle-aged scholar who had been concentrating in the hall suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The prince can have any woman he wants, but Luo Bai must not touch her now."
This sentence aroused Guo Kan's emotions that had finally been calmed down again, like an angry lion: "Why!"
"These fifth-grade cultivation may not be in the eyes of the prince, but they are elder-level figures in their respective sects. If the humiliation is too great, it will actually make her want to die."
"Death is death! A bitch!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Regarding Luo Bai, my subordinates have other plans."
"Tell me and listen." Guo Kan snorted coldly and sat back on the couch.
"Use her as bait to fish out Wu Tang." The middle-aged scholar said: "If you find Wu Tang, you can find the Qianlong Pot."
"Are you sure it works?"
"80% sure, I have reliable information. Wu Tang and Luo Bai had a marriage when they were young. Wu Tang will take action this time because of Luo Bai's affection."
The middle-aged scholar paused and then added: "Please, Your Majesty, please be patient for a while and wait until one day to humiliate this woman in front of Wu Tang. Wouldn't it be better to relieve the hatred in your heart?"
"Okay, okay!"
After analyzing so much just now, this sentence is not as pleasant as this one. Guo Kan was amused and laughed.
Indeed, it’s much more exciting to play this way!
I also spent a lot of effort to get the Qianlong Pot, but it was stolen by these ignorant ants before I could enjoy it. I must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!
"By the way, where is Shen Qiuning?"
Guo Kan smacked his lips, and if he had to say who among the five people left the deepest impression on him, it was Gu Yuexian.
"A spy found the sword he left behind in Xifang. Based on the traces at the scene, it is estimated that he ran towards Fenshui County."
"Didn't you say that the person who was hit by your Seven Tribulations finger has no chance of escaping?" Guo Kan showed a bit of dissatisfaction on his face.
"These gangsters have a very good legacy, and they might have some back-ups."
When he thought of that stunning beauty escaping under his nose, Guo Kan felt itchy with hatred and cursed secretly: "You are also a waste!"
The middle-aged scholar's face remained as usual, he just bowed and said: "My subordinate did not do his job well, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Forget it, as long as I can get the Qianlong Pot back, I will forget the past!"
