Volume 3: The Storm Rises Chapter 544: Stealing the Blood Cry Tree
Lilac is reluctant to leave, Lu Yao and Lu Yiqian's combination of soft and hard is useless, and in the end, she can only be allowed to stay, but there is one more woman in the family, and some things are not so convenient, especially Lu Yao's cultivation.
In the past, only Lu Yao, Lu Yiqian and Tong Tiexin lived in the villa, Lu Yiqian was Lu Yao's godfather, although he didn't know about Lu Yao's cultivation of immortals, but he never tried to snoop on Lu Yao's secrets, although Tong Tiexin followed Lu Yao for a short time, but after he returned to the villa, in addition to eating and sleeping, most of them were playing with flowers and plants in the yard and maintaining vehicles. Unless Lu Yao took the initiative to find him, he rarely went directly to the area where Lu Yao was active.
But lilacs are different, the three of them don't know her at all, and she always scrubs this and that in order to please Lu Yao and Lu Yiqian, almost every foot of the villa has her footprints, which makes Lu Yao have a headache.
Just as Lu Yao was watching Lilac Blossom busy and making difficulties, the phone rang, and the moment he saw the caller ID, Lu Yao's originally relaxed heart suddenly tightened.
"Lido Hotel, Room 308, there is an urgent matter to discuss, come quickly."
The phone was connected, a very nice woman's voice, speaking crisply and neatly, without dragging the mud and water at all, and hung up directly after speaking, Lu Yao didn't even have a chance to speak.
The tone of the voice on the phone was very urgent, and Lu Yao didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly went out after explaining a few words.
……
……
"Miss Huo, is it for that reason why you are in such a hurry to come over to me?" Lu Yao sat on the sofa in the 308 suite of the Lido Hotel, looked at Huo Tingting, who was wearing pajamas and looked very casual, suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and asked.
Lu Yao was unhappy, Huo Tingting naturally saw it, but he didn't intend to explain anything, but said with a smile: "Yes, things may be ahead of schedule, I need you to leave the Yimeng immediately to bring the Blood Cry Tree back, so that we can deploy the next plan." ”
"Miss Huo, are you sure that the Blood Cry Tree is still in the Yi Alliance?" Lu Yao asked suspiciously, "The last time we had a head-to-head confrontation with Ouyang Ling, since the Blood Cry Tree is so important, will they continue to keep it in the secret room of the Yi Alliance?" ”
"Master Lu, you just need to do what I say, you don't have to worry about the rest." Huo Tingting always maintained a smile and said, "When you arrive at Yimeng, someone will naturally pick you up." ”
Huo Tingting seems to be very strong, this is the strongest woman Lu Yao has known, but Lu Yao has no opinion, after all, a person has a person's temperament, and no one stipulates that women cannot be strong. Now that Huo Tingting had arranged everything, Lu Yao had nothing to say, so she had to do what she said.
It takes two or three hours to drive from Xijing City to Yimeng, and Lu Yao can also sleep well in the car to replenish his physical strength, so as not to have to do any "physical work" when he arrives at Yimeng, and he will be unable to do it at that time.
……
Lu Yao arrived at the location of Yimeng, picked up his mobile phone and dialed the phone number that Huo Tingting gave him, and the moment the phone was connected, Lu Yao's brows were tightly wrinkled, just because there was a string of English on the other side of the phone.
It is true that Lu Yao was able to take the top prize in the college entrance examination, but after all, it is the result of exam-oriented education, it is no problem to write it, and it is no problem to listen to it, but it is not the same thing, the two of them just communicated about the location of the meeting on the phone for about four or five minutes, and finally relied on Lu Yao's strong vocabulary and comprehension ability to barely understand the meaning of the other party.
Huo Tingting's so-called receiver is a Mi countryman, his name is James, he is participating in the auction in the Yimeng at this time, and the place agreed by the two is the No. 3 entrance of the Yimeng auction venue.
After understanding this, Lu Yao immediately found the No. 3 entrance according to what he knew about Yimeng in his memory, and when he walked there, he only saw a foreign man with yellow hair, blue eyes, a high nose, a big face, and a height of nearly 1.85 meters looking for something, so he walked over and said hello to the other party.
The other party didn't say anything, and went in with Lu Yao, Lu Yao H was originally a little worried that he would notice himself when he met the eyeliner arranged by Ouyang Ling, but when he went in, he found that these were all redundant, because this Mi Guo Han arranged a two-story box, from the third entrance directly into the elevator to the second floor, out of the elevator room is the box, let alone other people, even the people on the first floor can't be seen in the aisle.
"You are Mr. Lu, I heard Miss Hua talk about you on the phone, it's a pleasure to meet you." James entered the box and hugged Lu Yao very warmly, and said with a smile.
"Miss Hua?" Lu Yao hadn't heard anything of Miss Hua, but he knew that James was indeed the connector arranged by Huo Tingting, so he asked suspiciously.
"Yes, didn't Miss Hua Tingting arrange for us to meet?" James was also puzzled and asked rhetorically in English.
Hua Tingting?
Lu Yao also immediately understood that this Hua Tingting in James's mouth must be Huo Tingting he knew, but as for the homophony caused by James's non-standard pronunciation, or Huo Tingting can hide his surname Lu Yao doesn't care anymore, he just wants to get the Blood Cry Tree as soon as possible and leave here, after all, the Holy Master's methods are a little evil, and he is not sure that he can leave here gloomily.
"What is Mr. James going to do?" Lu Yao used broken spoken English to communicate with the other party with difficulty.
James briefly explained his plan, and although Lu Yao still had some concerns, he immediately left the box and slowly touched it in the direction of the secret room.
At this time, the Yimeng auction was almost over, and it was close to the climax of the auction, even if Lu Yao was hiding in the dark, he could hear people constantly raising cards, and people constantly increasing their weight. It's just that this auction is much more ordinary, far less open than the last time Lu Yao participated, and the sky-high prices of millions of dollars are flying all over the sky.
Time passed minute by minute, Lu Yao had been here for nearly ten minutes, and he still didn't see any movement on James's side, and he even felt a little uneasy in his heart, but when he just wanted to return to the box to confirm again in front of James, he suddenly heard a noisy sound from the lobby on the first floor.
"What's going on, why are so many leaders here all of a sudden?"
"I don't know, I've never heard of the intersection between the Yimeng and the government, why did so many officials come here all at once, and there are so many Mi people?"
“……”
A series of voices sounded, which seemed a little noisy, but Lu Yao still found Ouyang Ling's voice very accurately in the noise, and only heard her say: "Welcome leaders to our small medicinal herb auction house, I am Ouyang Ling, the person in charge here......"
What Ouyang Ling said next, Lu Yao didn't listen to it again, their plan was to take advantage of Ouyang Ling's appearance to greet the leader, and quickly touch into the secret room to take the blood cry tree and take it away.
Where is the secret room of the Yimeng, how to go the fastest and avoid all kinds of surveillance equipment, Lu Yao has already engraved it in his mind, at this time time is pressing, he doesn't care about any elegance or not, jumping, rolling, and even crawling forward like in military training, all kinds of means emerge one after another, dodging various monitors, and successfully arrived at the door of the secret room.
The door of the secret room is a combination lock, and it is a series of very complex combination passwords of numbers and letters, which may be a big problem for others, but it is simply too simple for Lu Yao, because before coming, Huo Tingting had already told him the password, and he only needed to enter it as Huo Tingting said.
Breaking into the secret room, the blood cry tree was close in front of him, but it was not only the blood cry tree that could be imprinted in Lu Yao's eyes, but also an old and familiar figure, Lu Yao saw him, he also noticed Lu Yao, and the moment Lu Yao's left foot stepped into the secret room, the man slowly turned around.
"Uncle Ying, why are you?" Lu Yao didn't understand why the other party appeared here, and asked in surprise.
"You're here!" Huo Ying didn't answer Lu Yao's question, but said with a smile: "Master Lu, you are the only person I have ever seen who can resonate with the Blood Cry Tree, I hope you will take it away and serve it well, and don't let him become extinct in the world from now on." ”
"Uncle Ying, I know." Lu Yao walked forward slowly, walked to Huo Ying's side and said with a sincere expression: "If it is possible, I will send it back after we finish our work, you ......"
Lu Yao still had something to say to Huo Ying, but was interrupted by the other party, Huo Ying glanced at the Blood Cry Tree, then at Lu Yao, and said with some sadness: "I have been serving it for more than ten years, I love it and understand it, but I know that its destination is not in this small secret room, I just hope that you can use it to do something beneficial to others and yourself, and not to be used by bad people." ”
"Uncle Ying, I don't understand what you mean by this, can you make it clearer?" When Lu Yao heard Huo Ying's words, he always felt that he had something to say, so he asked rhetorically.
Who is the bad guy, will it be Huo Tingting?
"You'll understand sooner or later, Master Lu, promise me that even if you destroy it, you can't let it fall into the hands of foreigners, remember." After Huo Ying said this, without waiting for Lu Yao to react, he suddenly took out a handful and held it tightly on the trunk of the blood cry tree, which was as thick as an adult's wrist, and carried it in front of Lu Yao together with the big basin in it, and pushed it forward gently, and the thing fell steadily into Lu Yao's hands.
This is not the first time Lu Yao has seen the Blood Cry Tree, but it is the first time to hold it like this, watching Huo Ying easily carry the tree with the pot in front of Lu Yao, it doesn't seem difficult, but when Lu Yao took it, he suddenly found that this thing really had some weight, and Lu Yao was almost careless in a hurry.
