Maybe Qiao Cui is still secretly proud of this, but he doesn't know that Lu Sheng has already made up his mind in his heart, if he is caught up by Qiao Cui, he will only obey all the way, and there will be opposition, but it can only be used at critical times.

Lu Sheng knew that once he objected, Qiao Cui would make a move, and if he did it hard, he would not be Qiao Cui's opponent.

And this moment of opposition is when Qiao Cui thinks that he is about to complete his work, and his mind is neglected.

When Qiao Cui pulled a cart of firewood to an old housing area that was becoming more and more crowded, the cart suddenly sank not long after turning into the alleyway.

Qiao Cui realized that something was wrong, and when he looked back, he saw that Lu Sheng, who was in charge of pushing the cart behind the cart, had disappeared, and Qiao Cui's heart gradually sank.

In this old housing area in the east of the city, the architectural pattern is very non-standardized, and the lanes are crooked and twisted, almost disorderly. With the skills of Lu Sheng, it is really very easy to hide here.

Moreover, if two people have similar light skills and equal understanding of geographical advantages, then the person who runs away will always have an advantage over the person who is looking for it.

Thinking of this, Qiao Cui couldn't help but feel annoyed, the true qi in his body exploded, the hand holding on the handlebar of the board car suddenly reversed, and the whole car was turned over by him, and then fell heavily to the ground, smashed to pieces. In the flying of grass ash and dust, there was no sword in the pile of wood on the ground.

Qiao Cui snorted in his heart. Thinking of being in the team entering the city just now, I felt that Lu Sheng was a little strange, but he wasn't sure what it was. Now he roughly understands that he has been holding the timing of the sneak attack on the other party, and the other party has not slackened his thoughts on the steps to escape.

The reason why Lu Sheng took great pains to pull a cart of firewood was just to create a tracking hole in the irregular alleyways after entering the old residential area of Kyoto. Take the car as the block, and the firewood as the cover. With Lu Sheng's light cultivation, as long as Qiao Cui didn't pay attention to him for a moment, in this uneven height and intricate path like a spider's web, Lu Sheng's figure was like a fish leaping into the ocean, swimming farther and farther, diving deeper and deeper.

Kicking the root of the wall and sliding onto the roof of a house like a loach, Jockey looked around, as expected, and found nothing. Joe Cui suddenly understood. In this kind of old residential area where the height and width of the houses are uneven, the patrol effect of standing high and seeing wide is greatly reduced.

As soon as he thought of this, he pursed his lips and sighed secretly: "I only thought that this place was suitable for sneak attacks, but I didn't take into account another characteristic of this terrain. It's me who is careless, but Xiao Lu has stayed by Lord Lin's side in the past few years, and he is really much more witty than before. If his mind is completely restored, then he will be able to cultivate lightly now. I'm in for a chore! ”

Direct tracing is not possible, only indirect. Qiao Cui knew that Lu Sheng's reason for entering the city was to send the sword, so since the sword was not in the firewood car, if it wasn't for Lu Sheng's fast enough to take it out of the car before slipping away, it would have been sent into the city in advance in other ways.

After searching all the memories in his brain about this journey, Qiao Cui ruled out the former possibility. Immediately, he thought of Lu Sheng's sly smile when he entered the city. Although it seemed extremely faint at the time, now that Qiao Cui was completely sure of his ulterior motives, the faint smile immediately became clear.

Not only that, but now that I think about it, when I asked Lu Sheng that question, Lu Sheng's answer was also very mysterious.

"The man with the flowers."

Qiao Cui muttered a word, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said secretly: "What kind of man wearing flowers, I obviously see that I am suspicious." Rhetoric that wants to divert my attention. In that group. Except for the strangely dressed Gentiles who were unable to communicate with the land students, among the rest of the people of Zhao Kingdom, those who could help him bring a sword into the city must bring an item longer than the sword. ”

There are no men wearing flowers. There is an old man who looks like he is carrying a bouquet of flowers!

A flash of inspiration flashed in Qiao Cui's mind, and he remembered the old man selling sugar gourds in the crowd that Lu Sheng was referring to. Aren't strings of sugar gourds with syrupy and a light red color tied to a straw handle, like a bouquet of unfurling flowers?

Lu Sheng's momentary negligence almost made him see the clue, and he only thought of saying that sentence in a hurry. And it was precisely because there was no equivalent in the crowd to the person he described that Qiao Cui was easy to remember the old man who was carrying a bunch of sugar gourds.

The corners of Qiao Cui's mouth curled slightly, and he slid down the roof and landed in a darker alley. He reached out and rubbed a handful of the moss-and-mud mixture in the corner of the wall and rubbed a few handfuls on his face; Then untie the hair band, and tie the five fingers together for the comb before tying it up again; Finally he took off his clothes and turned them over before putting them on. By the time he slid into the roof like a loach again, he had become a sloppy man with an indistinguishable face.

Qiao Cui, who was extremely sloppy in appearance and dress, half-squatted on the roof, his eyes on his dirty face seemed brighter than usual, he looked around to determine the direction, and then used the roof as a pedal, like a fish bouncing on the waves of the tower on the sea, and his figure quickly disappeared in the direction of the main road leading to the inner city from the Chaoxia Gate.

Each of Kyoto's four main gates had a straight road leading to the inner city, and after the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty, as the core of the rule, the imperial capital opened the door to foreign commerce and trade on a large distance. In this way, the external security strategy should also be improved. Therefore, in addition to changing the layout of the Kyoto garrison, the new emperor also carried out a major renovation in the internal architectural layout of the capital, and the original four straight roads were twisted in half as a slow restriction on the terrain of the invading army that might rush straight to the palace in times of emergency.

However, this kind of precautionary policy may not be encountered for decades or even more than a hundred years, and the defense of the siege has almost become a common practice. No matter how the roads in the city are changed, the main road of the Quartet is still the first place for people from the Quartet to set up stalls nearby.

The main road connecting the inner city with the Asakamon Gate in the east of the castle is called 'Kaidori', which was actually renamed after the opening of the sea trade in Kyoto. As the name suggests, most of the people who do business on the sea channel also sell seafood, so in such a section where all kinds of seafood are gathered, there is suddenly an old man carrying a bunch of sugar gourds to sell, how conspicuous it is.

The old man Qi, who sells sugar gourds, is a frequent visitor on the sea channel, he lives on the outskirts of the city, and only carries his own sugar gourds into Beijing every few days to sell. The sugar gourds he makes are tasteful and the price is moderate, and the most important thing is that sometimes he will send a few strings of sugar gourds to children to eat, which makes this lonely old man very popular with children in the eastern part of the city.

It's just that today, when the children saw the loving Grandpa Qi walking on the Shanghai passage with a bunch full of sugar gourds as usual, Grandpa Qi's expression seemed a little weird.

The children's observation is very sensitive, but the children's simple hearts can't figure out why the old man Qi is panicking, and they hide in a secluded place when they see the child.

After a few circles, Old Man Qi finally met in a secluded alley early this morning, the young man who suddenly broke into his house and gave him a strange commission who was making zuò sugar gourds. And this young man is the Lu Sheng who just pretended to be Qiao Cui's cart, but actually slipped away quietly after entering the old residential area.

When Old Man Qi saw Lu Sheng, there was a hint of fear in his eyes. He was just a lonely old man in a small business, but having lived in this world for decades, he could vaguely feel that this young man could enter his home so quietly, but not for stealing, but because his words were too strange for him to be afraid. If breaking some money can replace getting into trouble, he is actually more willing to do the former.

Vigilant, Old Man Qi just wanted to get rid of this strange young man with unpredictable whereabouts as soon as possible, so he opened his mouth and asked after his pupils shrank: "Young man, old man, I have been doing things according to your orders, can you let me go now?" ”

Lu Sheng bent the corners of his eyes and smiled harmlessly: "I didn't say I wanted to arrest you, how can I let it go?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Old Man Qi's tone was shocked, obviously misunderstood. Seeing Lu Sheng slowly approaching him, he hurriedly took a few steps back.

Lu Sheng also thought that the other party was just an ordinary person, and the way of understanding was different from his own, so he stopped and said in a slow voice: "Senior, I just want the straw in your hand, and I don't mean anything else." I won't take your stuff for nothing, and you don't have to ask anything, and I don't think you want to get into trouble, just take the money, right? ”

Old man Qi nodded with a sluggish expression, and the young man's words went to his heart. However, he immediately shook his head again, and said: "I like to do business and make money, but I won't do anything harmful, even if I give me a lot of silver!" ”

"Senior, you're too worried." Regardless of whether what this old man said was serious or not, in Lu Sheng's heart, he had a trace of respect for those who could say such things. Lu Sheng added a hint of respect in his voice, he arched his hand towards Old Man Qi, and then said: "If you want to do something evil, how can I come alone and let people see my whereabouts before I move?" It's just that people must have unspeakable secrets, and it is difficult for younger generations to trust others, so they have to trouble you. I heard that Kyoto Higashijo is the kind old man who is most loved by children! ”

As soon as these words came out, Old Man Qi listened to it very well in his heart, and the defensive feelings in his eyes were greatly reduced. Seeing this, Lu Sheng seized the time to go further, he took two big steps and walked to Old Man Qi, and without saying anything, he stuffed a handful of broken silver into Old Man Qi's hand, and said softly: "Grandpa, you can go back and rest first today." If you still think I'm a bad person, I can sell all these sugar gourds in front of you, okay? ”

When the silver was started, Old Man Qi was already shaken, and Lu Sheng's words were undoubtedly equivalent to saying: I am not a bad person, so I am not afraid of the eyes of everyone in broad daylight. Under such dual guidance, Old Man Qi's heart retreated.

It is impossible for him not to back down, and even if he is righteous in his heart, he does not have the authority to catch fast.

In this way, the silver in Lu Sheng's hand went to Old Man Qi's purse, and Old Man Qi's straw full of sugar gourd strings was handed over to Lu Sheng's shoulder. After a while, on Haitong Avenue, the children who had been looking for Grandpa Qi's figure for a long time finally found him again.

It's just that Grandpa Qi's sugar gourd is gone, and there is a young man selling sugar gourds next to him, which makes the children feel strange...... (To be continued.)
