Zhao Li obviously misunderstood Lu Xin's meaning, thinking that he wanted the Nine Stars Gang to send him a plant of ambergris grass as a price for help. Zhao Li's reaction naturally shocked Lu Xin. A natural treasure, just say it, it can be said that it is a great hand. But it is enough to see from the side that the Nine Stars Gang wants to help themselves, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter.

What calculations Zhao Li was making in his heart, Lu Xin couldn't guess at this time. But he won't break it, after all, for him, getting ambergris is the top priority. As for whether to let the Nine Stars help deliver it or buy it yourself, it is a good idea to wait and see what happens.

The two of them quickly left the pharmacy and then headed east, leaving the West Market. Zhao Li has been leading the way in front of him, and Lu Xin is not in a hurry, so he follows quietly. It wasn't until the two walked into Yongxingfang on the side of the palace that Zhao Li stopped and turned back to talk.

Looking around, the square is full of high-walled compounds, and the streets are much wider and cleaner than in other places. Perhaps because of its proximity to the Imperial Palace, the whole Lifang is very quiet, and there are hardly any idlers in sight.

"Brother Lu, the next place we are going to is the private residence of Xiao Yu, the prince of Song. There are a lot of rules, and when the time comes, you can see more and talk less, and I will do everything. ”

"The private residence of the Imperial Doctor? Hehe, it turns out that the old man's name is Xiao Yu! ”

Hearing the four words of the Imperial Doctor, Lu Xin immediately remembered the triage of the three divisions a few days ago. At that time, Li Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Lord Xiang of Dali Temple, and the Imperial Doctor. The three of them formed the highest judicial department of Datang and interrogated Lu Xin, almost killing him. Looking back now, I inevitably have resentment in my heart.

"Xiao Yu, born in the royal family, is too upright in nature, and he doesn't know how to be flexible, so it's best not to provoke him. In the early years of Zhenguan, he was demoted twice, and he came down from the prime minister's position, and he is still haunted by it. But if I want to buy ambergris, I don't have to deal with him. ”

While Zhao Li spoke, he took Lu Xin to the door of a mansion. The stairs are extremely high, twenty or thirty steps. The plaque is engraved with the word "Xiao Fu", painted with gold paint, majestic and solemn. The gate was closed and unguarded. Zhao Li knocked twice on the door, and when he saw that he didn't respond for a long time, he was not surprised, so he walked along the wall to the back door. The more Lu Xin looked at it, the more strange he felt, the mansion of a royal historian didn't have a doorman. Why does even a gangster like Zhao Li seem to have a way to get in?

"You said that this Xiao Yu was born royal? What's going on, aren't all royal people surnamed Li? ”

"Hahaha, Brother Lu laughed. How many years has it been since the current royal family was founded? This Xiao Yu is an old man in his sixties, so naturally he is not the queen of the Li family. However, the surname Xiao, when he was in Xiliang, was a real royal family. Later, the Western Liang destroyed the country, and the Xiao family all entered the Sui Dynasty as officials. Later, the Sui Dynasty was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and this Xiao Yu became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. The stories are complicated, and I can't tell them clearly for a while. In short, this Xiao Yu has a close relationship with the father and son of the Li family, and he can be regarded as the uncle of the current emperor. ”

"Hmph, no wonder he's so aggressive. At this age, you should have realized the golden mean. Born in the royal family, this heart is defective. ”

"Hehehe, Brother Lu seems to be prejudiced against this Lord Xiao?" Zhao Li suddenly stopped and looked back and smiled. But halfway through laughing, he suddenly closed his mouth again, and his voice became a little embarrassed. "I almost forgot, the three divisions will be tried, this Xiao Yu, as a doctor of the imperial history, is afraid that it will be difficult for you."

"You know everything, forget it, ambergris is important, lead the way."

They both shut up at the same time, and their steps quickened. Zhao Li quickly went around to the back door of Xiao Mansion and smashed the door knocker twice, only to hear a "creak" and open a crack in the door. Looking inside, a young guy was vigilantly looking outside, and when he saw Zhao Li, he frowned and shouted "Brother Li".

"It's me, is Xiao Qiangongzi here?"

"Childe is not here, but Madame is here, what is Brother Li going to buy?"

"It's good that Madame is here, you don't talk nonsense, your brother and I are in a hurry, hurry up and open the door."

Zhao Li hurriedly finished speaking, and without waiting for the little guy to answer, he directly pushed open the door and broke in. Lu Xin naturally followed closely behind, and the two of them were fast, so the little guy couldn't stop him. shouted twice in front of the door, and seeing that Zhao Li had no intention of turning back, he sighed slightly, but he didn't stop it anymore and continued to guard his door.

"Interesting, just such a thin doorman, he can't stop any big man. This Song Guogong's mansion is still very easy to enter. ”

Entering the Xiao Mansion through the back door, there is a huge willow woodland. Among them, there are countless rockery ponds, flowers, plants, and flying insects, as if they came to the suburbs all at once. But what made Lu Xin strange was that there were no guards in a huge mansion. Along the way, except for a doorman, not even half a figure was seen.

However, Zhao Li didn't care at all, and said in a deep voice as he walked quickly: "Since it is the Guogong Mansion, who dares to break in indiscriminately?" Don't you know, Xiao Qian, the second son of the Xiao family, is a person with extremely high martial arts. Not to mention the ordinary thief, even the generals of the imperial court fought against him, and there was no return. But this is nothing, Xiao Qian's wife, Long Clan, is an onmyoji with extremely high cultivation. From the Western Regions, it is very mysterious. What we are looking for is in their hands. ”

"People from the Western Regions? This Xiao family is also a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, so Xiao Yu would actually tolerate his son marrying a man from the Western Regions? ”

"Hehe, a concubine, it doesn't matter what woman you want to bring home. What matters is how powerful this woman is. As long as she has enough ability, no one will dare to bully her, here. ”

Zhao Li's voice stopped abruptly, and Lu Xin looked ahead, only to see that the two of them had come to a hut at some point. It is surrounded by meadows, and there is a pond not far away, where lotus flowers are in full bloom. Looking at the pattern, where the two of them are located, it should be the backyard of the entire Xiao Mansion. But the area is so large that it even exceeds the mansion of Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County.

Zhao Li quickly pushed open the door and entered, and in an instant, Lu Xin smelled a special and familiar fragrance. The smell that suddenly wafted into his nasal cavity made him frown immediately. In my mind, I can't help but flash countless images.

Seeing that Lu Xin suddenly stayed where he was and didn't move, Zhao Li frowned and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Dream Soul Ointment, this is the taste of Dream Soul Ointment."

Lu Xin muttered to himself, and when Zhao Li heard this, his expression changed suddenly, and he looked a little shocked.

"You know this?"

"Western Regions, Long Clan, Dream Soul Anointing...... Zhao Li, under this house, I'm afraid there is more than one person, right? ”

After a few breaths, Lu Xin walked forward along the source of the fragrance, and there was a screen in the northwest corner of the room. Pushed away, a hole was revealed in the ground. There are steps that slope all the way down, and it is a tunnel. Zhao Li nodded, although he was very confused. But at this time he seemed to have some scruples and did not speak again. Then, the two of them walked down the steps, descending about ten meters, and a huge space appeared in front of them.

Looking around, the underground world in front of you is like a ghost city. They are all hollowed out of the ground and special spaces are built for activities. But unlike Yunmeng Ghost City, this underground palace in Xiao Mansion has a very different style. Whether it is the shape of the room or the rest of the layout, it is very different from the architectural style of Datang.

"Each room here is circular and is said to have been built in the style of a house in Mrs. Shaw's hometown. You see, the people here are all dignitaries and dignitaries in Chang'an City. Dream Soul Ointment, but it's a good thing. ”

Zhao Li took Lu Xin to the depths of the passage, glancing at the people in the houses on both sides from time to time, with a weird smile on his face. Lu Xin naturally knew that the effect of the Dream Soul Paste was equivalent to half a drug. If this thing is known to the imperial court, it will definitely be forbidden. Lu Xin originally thought that the Dream Soul Paste would only appear in some small places in the state capitals. I never thought that the dignified imperial capital Chang'an City actually had this thing.

"It seems that this Long Clan is a restless person."

Secretly thinking in his heart, Lu Xin took a deep breath and tried his best to make his expression natural. At the same time, Zhao Li suddenly stopped. Looking ahead, the two of them seemed to have reached the end of the dungeon. About 10 meters away, there is an elegantly furnished hall. There was a white-clad and masked woman sitting cross-legged on a high stool in the hall. Lu Xin could clearly feel that the wisps of the five elements essence were gathering around the woman from all directions.

"Sure enough, it's an onmyoji! This breath ...... This woman's cultivation is afraid that she has already stepped into the realm of returning to the microsphere. ”

Although Lu Xin's realm is not high, he has met many Onmyoji in the Guiwei Realm, and he still feels that he still has it. The aura of the woman in white was very powerful, even comparable to Wei Tongyun. While Lu Xin looked at the other party, the woman who was in the middle of the meditation also slowly opened her eyes. In an instant, the aura on the woman's body completely disappeared, and she turned into an ordinary woman.

"Mrs. Xiao, villain Zhao Li, I want to buy a ambergris grass from Mrs. Xiao."

"It turned out to be the fourth leader of the Nine Star Gang, and I haven't seen him for a long time. This is ......"

The woman glanced at Zhao Li, and then looked at Lu Xin. Because most of his face was covered under the veil, Lu Xin couldn't be sure whether the other party's expression was happy or angry.

"Oh, this Lu Gongzi sent a friend to Chang'an to catch the exam. I have some connections with my Nine Star Gang, and the eldest brother of the gang asked me to bring her here to disturb Mrs., hoping to get a ambergris plant. ”

"I see, that is. He's the one who wants to buy ambergris, or is it your Nine Star Gang? ”

"This ...... Mrs. Shaw? ”

"That's right, it's true that I'm going to buy ambergris. Madame, in Xia Lu Xin, a person from the Yue Zhou Mansion. When I first arrived, there was a lot of disturbance, and I hoped to forgive my sins. ”

"Hee-hee-hee...... The little guy is quite sweet-mouthed. Anyway, Zhao Li, ambergris can only give birth to one plant in a thousand years, and it is a real treasure of heaven and earth. Scarcity is expensive, and its price is geometric, you should know it. But for the sake of the Nine Stars Gang, Mrs. Ben is not embarrassed by you. One price, 80,000 taels! ”
