Chapter 1427: The Night Is Dark

"That, young man, in fact, the old man still has something to ask for. Zhong Shangshu hesitated for a moment and said.

"Why are you old man so grinding, what's the matter, tell me quickly!" Lu Menglu asked.

Zhong Shangshu looked at Lu Menglu and said calmly: "If it is possible, I would like to invite you to go to the old man's Shangshu Mansion and report my safety." My daughter Zhong Ping is known as a talented person in Beijing, you can pretend to be a student of Guozijian and go to see her in the name of sending poems. ”

Seeing that the other party was silent, Zhong Shangshu hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "My daughter, but she has been on the list of beauties in the Divine City, ranked seventh, and she is good-looking, and you don't have to take the poem seriously, I will prepare a poem for you, as long as you give it to her, she will understand that her father is fine." ”

Lu Menglu thought about it for a while, and finally nodded.

Zhong Shangshu saw that the other party agreed, and he was calm on the surface, but he was happy in his heart.

Sure enough, it's still a young man who is easy to deceive! Whether this kid goes to the contact point of the Seven Sages of the Pine Forest or goes to his Shangshu Mansion, it is a dead end, even if he has great ability, he can't compete with the magic arrays laid in advance in these two places, and those magic arrays are connected to the leylines of the entire Divine City, and they are by no means something that can be resisted by manpower.

As long as this kid falls into a dead end, that is his own way of life! Whether he is caught by mistake or secretly tracked down, the final target will be found here, and of course he will be rescued!

Zhong Shangshu was scheming, and felt that a young man, even if he had some strength, could not pass the level of power, as long as he went to the two places he said, he would die!

Early the next morning, Lu Menglan said to Duanmu Qingyi in front of Zhong Shangshu: "I'm going to go out, it's okay for you to stay here alone, right?"

Duanmu Qingyi smiled lightly and said, "Well, you just have to go! ”

Lu Menglu nodded, didn't say anything superfluous, turned around and left the courtyard.

Although Duanmu Qingyi's combat power is not too strong, she is also about level thirty-eight, and she has a lot of good things hidden on her body, self-protection is enough, and if she is unprepared, even if she is above level forty, she may not be her opponent.

And Duanmu Qingyi is thoughtful, and his personality is alert, this old man Zhong Shangshu in the courtyard is powerless, and he is obviously not a combat type, so he doesn't have to worry too much about keeping these two together.

Zhong Shangshu witnessed this young man leaving the small courtyard, and naturally there was no expression on his face, but his heart was happy, thinking that this guy would probably not come back, and the remaining woman, as long as she used a little trick, she could get out!

Lu Menglan's departure is most of the day.

That Zhong Shangshu was still silently sweeping the floor in the courtyard at first, but after noon, he seemed a little uncalm, and when he walked to the gate of the courtyard several times, he couldn't help but look out.

He figured out that whether it was to the contact point or to the Shangshu Mansion, he should come back now. Could it be that the boy still stays in the house to eat?

As soon as it's past noon, you should be sure that the kid won't come back.

At this time, Duanmu Qingyi also noticed the old guy's subtle movements, and couldn't help frowning.

She knew that Master Wu Hao was a first-class smart person in the world, so she didn't remind Wu Hao that she couldn't believe the words of this old thing! The words that came out of the mouths of these politicians were usually good if she could believe half a sentence out of ten! If she followed their rhythm, she didn't know how he would die.

"Didn't you sweep the floor well? What are you looking around? If you are not honest, do you want to suffer hardship?" Duanmu Qingyi waved his hand and took out a long whip, which crackled on the ground.

Zhong Shangshu shuddered suddenly, and hurriedly laughed: "Girl, calm down!

"Have you ever wondered what if he doesn't come back?"

"What did you say?" Duanmu Qingyi raised his eyebrows, and his tone suddenly became several times colder.

"In case, I mean in case, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed! In case that little brother Mu is in danger and can't come back, what are your plans?" Zhong Shangshu tried his best to make his tone appear gentle, not wanting to irritate the other party.

Of course, they know that women are irrational most of the time, they will act impulsively and emotionally, but when that irrational impulse dissipates, they will have no master at all, and they just want someone to use their brains for them.

And the more beautiful women are, the easier it is to become like this, because they have received too much praise and preferential treatment in ordinary times, and they can't make up their minds when they encounter major rights and wrongs, contradictions and conflicts.

He hopes that the woman in front of him is like this, as long as that kid has a situation, he will rely on his own head to fool a stupid woman.

"What if, if anything, I'll cut you first! Duanmu Qingyi sneered.

"Or, you can choose whether to cut it directly, or use this to strangle you? Forget it, let's leave you a whole corpse!" Duanmu Qingyi said with a cold expression on his face.

Zhong Shangshu was so frightened that his scalp was numb, where did he dare to say more than half a sentence, when he met such an unreasonable crazy woman, maybe he didn't say half a sentence, and he even lost his head.

In the evening, Lu Menglu came back, and this scene made Zhong Shangshu very disappointed.

"You, are you going to help me deliver the letter?" Zhong Shangshu raised his head and said in a somewhat unhappy tone.

And this young man's reaction was a little strange, he didn't say anything, just glanced at Zhong Shangshu deeply, and went directly into the back room.

His glance made Zhong Shangshu feel a little weak, and he secretly wondered in his heart, was his calculation discovered by him? That's why the other party's reaction was so strange, but this shouldn't be!

Lu Menglu went to the house to wash his face, and then walked out, still looking at Zhong Shangshu silently with that strange look.

Such a silent gaze made Zhong Shangshu's heart furious, and he wanted to speak several times, but he wanted to ask but was afraid of angering the other party, so he didn't dare to ask.

Duanmu Qingyi, who was still on the side, saw some clues, stepped forward and asked softly, "Is this trip going well?"

Lu Menglu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I didn't go to that contact point, I went to Shangshu Mansion first, and I planned to report his safety." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Shangshu's heart sank, and even his pupils instantly dilated.

"Forget it, you don't believe it. When it gets dark, you go out with me, and I'll take you to have a look!" Lu Menglu said lightly.

Zhong Shangshu was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What?

"Well, you'll understand when you go and see, I'll prepare first. I'll send you there when it's dark. Lu Menglu said very calmly.

Zhong Shangshu looked suspicious, but his mood was still a little excited, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you! Thank you, little brother, for understanding the righteousness, this official will be rewarded!"

When night falls, every household in the East 1st District of the Slum closes their doors early, not daring to linger outside, and no one knows what will happen in the dark place, or whether it is safest to stay at home.

Lu Menglan came out of the house and walked in front of Zhong Shangshu, who had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Put this gear on, and I'll take you back to see it. As Lu Menglu spoke, he handed the other party a piece of equipment with a strange shape.

Zhong Shangshu stretched out his hand to take it, feeling that the weight was quite heavy, he didn't think much about it, anyway, he was in the hands of others, so he obediently obeyed the arrangement.

Duanmu Qingyi on the side stared at the ugly equipment like a cloak, but he was envious in his heart.

You don't have to think about it to know that it must be a piece of demon-building equipment, and it was also customized by Master Wuhao himself, but I don't know what the effect is.

The value of this piece of demon-constructing equipment alone is more than enough to buy the East District 1 in exchange for jade yuan, but it is really a waste to give this bad old man to wear on his body.

"Tsing Yi, you don't have to go, take care of the house, we'll be back soon." Lu Menglu commanded.

Duanmu Qingyi nodded, her strength is limited, she can't do this kind of thing in the middle of the night to break into the high-level of the Divine City, she will only become a burden and get in the way.

"Well, then I'll make you soup for supper. Duanmu Qingyi smiled very obediently and sweetly.

Zhong Shangshu smiled secretly in his heart, come back, come back with a fart! As long as he enters Shangshu's Mansion, he has more than a dozen ways to get out, how can he come back to such a place!

Lu Menglan didn't say anything more, and walked out of the small courtyard with Zhong Shangshu, who was wearing a black cloak.

From the east first district at the bottom of the Fashen City to the official Shangshu Mansion located on the third floor, it is necessary to go through four circles, although between each circle, there are no obvious checkpoints and the like, but in addition to the first three layers, the bottom five floors have the strictest Xiao ban, after dark, if there is no special matter or a warrant from the Divine Dynasty, you are not allowed to stay on the street.

Only the soldiers and horses of the City Patrol Division, as well as the night watchman, can haunt the guards.

Those soldiers who patrol the city are just routines, patrolling according to the prescribed routes, but the night watchmen are elusive, they are a special group in the city of the god of law, all of them are composed of real masters, some of them are from the rivers and lakes, some of them are from the veterans drawn from the army, they are directly controlled by the royal family of the god of law, and they are self-contained in the god dynasty, and they are not subject to the control of the three divisions and six departments.

There was once a general of the forbidden army who had strong combat power, drank during the curfew time, took a shortcut home, and was stopped by the watchman, who was hot-headed at the time, and actually resisted, but was killed on the spot by the master of the watchman who rushed to hear the news, which is not the slightest emotion.

When Zhong Shangshu thought of these old things, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid, and faintly felt that this young man surnamed Mu took him to the city in the middle of the night to hurry, could he not want to borrow a knife to kill people? Moreover, to rush to Shangshu's Mansion, how many night watchmen would he have to meet along the way? Can he break through?

The result was that his worries were all superfluous, Lu Menglu took Zhong Shangshu and walked all the way, without danger or danger, although he encountered a few people who were keeping vigil on the way, but the other party seemed to be blind, and he didn't notice the existence of the two at all.

Rushing non-stop along the way, the two of them soon passed through layer after floor, and easily came to the neighborhood where the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion was located.

The lights here are bright, the people come and go in the market, and there are songs and laughter from time to time in the barrage buildings on the side of the road.
