Maybe everyone was a little surprised when they heard his words, so the scene fell into silence for a few seconds, but then it was enveloped by a passionate atmosphere, and it was felt that this was already a moment that everyone had been waiting for for a long time!

I, too, was pounding with curiosity, excitement, and a little nervousness!

But when we began to gather towards the door, the old eunuch suddenly turned back and said, "Oh, by the way, you haven't had dinner yet, do you want to go again after dinner?" ”

I was so shaken that I almost didn't fall to the ground! You're always kidding us, don't you know the truth that one drum style, and then three declines and exhaustion?!

He smiled a little maliciously and said, "But I don't think it's necessary, maybe a few people will be able to come back after the game, and then I can save some effort by delivering food." ”

The emperor is really right to hand over this errand to this person, he is too good at creating an atmosphere, whether it is joke or coercion and temptation, the level is high enough!

Without saying a word, we followed him out of the courtyard and looked at the direction, all the way south. During this winding journey, it was already dark, and the tall buildings around them began to slowly disappear into darkness, and only some parts of it could be seen through the sporadic lights. In the end, it has not yet started the era of electric lights, even in a prosperous city like Luoyang, at night, the city will not be very bright, and you can still see the stars in the sky.

Just turned the corner of a palace, suddenly saw several figures walking towards him, and heard a voice saying: "It's a big deal, just kill them all......" The softness of the voice and the murderous aura of this sentence seem extremely incongruous.

As soon as I heard this voice, I was stunned, how could I have heard it somewhere? Immediately afterwards, I heard the voice say, "It's not a matter of Grandpa Qin's words." ”

Ah, I remember, isn't this the voice of the man who whipped me among the three dead eunuchs I met in Xiping Town? Gonggong Qin seemed to be the one who seemed to be the leader among them.

It's really a narrow road, how did you run into it here? But seeing that they are already close at hand, it must be too late to dodge, and it is easy to attract attention if you move without permission! Fortunately, the environment here is also relatively dark, and there are many people on our side, so they may not be able to recognize it.

The old eunuch walked opposite them first, nodded and greeted, "The three fathers-in-law have worked hard. ”

The three of them still talked as they walked on their own, ignoring him at all, and he didn't care, and continued to walk forward with us.

As we passed by, the muscles in my whole body began to tense, and it was as if I had stopped breathing for a few seconds!

It wasn't until the two groups staggered that I breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, I heard a more woman-like voice shouting behind me: "Stop! ”

As soon as our group heard this threatening shout, they all subconsciously stopped, and I could already tell that this voice was coming from the more demonic and deeper Gonggong Qin.

I heard him command again: "You, turn around!" ”

We all had our backs to him now, and we didn't know who he was referring to, so we basically turned around to see what he was trying to do. The moment I turned around, I felt sweat oozing from my forehead. If I'm recognized here, I'm really a rat in a bag and can't get out!

But when he turned around and looked carefully, he found that he was referring to Bai Jue who was standing at the back of the line.

Bai Jue saw that it was him who was named, and asked without humility or arrogance: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Although it was very dark, there was a little eunuch with a lantern at the back of our team, standing beside Bai Jue. Father-in-law Qin may have carefully identified it by the light of the lantern, and felt that it was not, so he said, "It's okay, let's go." Then he turned and walked away.

As I continued to walk forward, I was glad that I was not recognized, and at the same time wondered in my heart: Could it be that the person surnamed Qin sees Bai Jue as me? I'm a man with a healthy complexion and a strong body, how can I be confused with that kind of jade-faced scholar who shakes when touched? When I turned my head and thought about it again, I came back to my senses "ah", I am not Tao Yong now, it is Tao Zhihuan, it seems that it is not so dark, where is it strong, no wonder he is not convinced every time he laughs at Wang Shaoting!

After passing through a fairly wide courtyard, we had come to the palace gate, and the old eunuch stopped and turned around, and waved his hand to signal us to stop. Then he raised his chin again, and the little eunuchs around him scattered very interestingly, and gathered us together, and under the light of the lanterns in their hands, they formed a relatively bright circle, and they could clearly see everyone's faces, except for the flower mother-in-law who had been pressing the brim of her hat deeply.

Then, the old eunuch took out a silk cloth roll from his bosom, unfolded it, looked at it, and said, "Okay, now I'll explain the rules of the game." ”

Great, it looks like it's finally going to get real going! But what is it like? Why did you choose to be in Daikoku?

I heard the old eunuch say intermittently: "First of all, I want to divide you into groups, two people." Well...... There are nine of you, what should I do......"

But I heard the monk who had been standing in front of the Sanban monk say angrily, "We are in a group of three." ”

Ling Yunyan said quickly: "Everyone else is in a group of two, the three of you, aren't you taking advantage?" ”

The three monks turned their faces together and looked at her expressionlessly, not arguing with their mouths, but the expression was saying, "We're like this, what's the matter?" ”

As soon as Ling Yunyan wanted to say something more, the old eunuch had already waved his hand and said, "Just do it, a lot of people may not be a good thing." ”

Indeed, if you look at the situation that these three people are inseparable, in fact, three people are only equivalent to one person. And I deeply feel that even if it is a team of two, it is a strange setting, we still have a competitive relationship with each other, and it is very rare to have no hostility, how to work together as a team? Isn't it necessarily one person who wins in the end?

Then a little eunuch came over with a small cloth bag, and the old eunuch took it, opened the opening a little, and said to us, "The rest of the people will come and draw lots and decide on the group." ”

So the rest of us walked over one by one and pulled out a small piece of paper from the sack. I was the last one to draw, and when I opened it in my hand, I saw that there was a seal character I didn't recognize, and I couldn't help frowning.

"Let's report the numbers we have drawn." The old eunuch said.

"Two." Bai Jue said.

"Three." Zeng Xianyi said.

"Two." The rugged voice was Chen Yi.

"One." The low voice is Granny Flower.

"Three." This is Ling Yunyan.

...... "This is me who is stuck." Everyone turned their heads to look at me strangely, but I was busy making a little count in my head, and then shouted, "One, I'm one." ”

The old eunuch glared at me before saying, "Okay, then it's decided." ”

At this time, two thoughts came to my mind, the first thought was, oops, how can I be in a group with Granny Hua, although I have always gotten along well with the elderly, but this person is really weird up and down, making people's backs a little hairy, difficult to communicate!

Another thought was, why did you prepare a lottery for six people? It seems that this old eunuch didn't plan to let the three monks smoke it. Oops, the feeling of being at the mercy is here again! But since you enter someone's door, it's like a rat getting into a clip, and it's natural that all the mercy and even your life are held in your hands, who told you to eat other people's cheese?

The old eunuch then picked up a pen and wrote something in a book, probably registering our grouping or something. When he finished writing, he looked up at us and said, "Okay, now I'm going to tell you what your goal is tonight." ”

I saw him take out a yellow cloth bag from his arms, and then open it layer by layer, revealing a round thing.

As soon as my eyes fell on that thing, I chuckled in my heart, how could the shape be so similar to the Blood Rock Furnace? But when I looked at it carefully, I was sure that it was not a blood furnace, but just a small Dan furnace made of bronze, which was quite different from the dark red and translucent blood furnace.

Then he suddenly arrived, and the picture he saw on the book that Ling Yunyan took during the day might not be the Blood Rock Furnace, but this thing. I said, how could the emperor write down such a confidential matter in the book and promote it casually?

But in retrospect, what does it mean to say that our goal tonight is this thing? I stared at the old eunuch's mouth, waiting for him to continue.

"This thing will be hidden somewhere in this Luoyang City, you have one night, you can find it before dawn tomorrow morning, and bring it back to the group in front of the palace gate to win." "There are a few more rules you should hear," he said, word for word:

First, you must not ask anyone other than the members of the group for help.

Second, this thing needs to be brought back in its entirety, without any damage or dirt;

Third, it must not cause any casualties to unrelated persons.

Even if you can bring this thing back, if you violate any of the above rules, you will be judged a failure immediately! ”

"Also," he added, "when you bring something back, you have to be present to be in the group." If the time is up, but no group can do it, everyone is considered a failure, and the consequences, you know. ”

After saying this, he was silent for a while, as if waiting for us to ask questions, but everyone present was silent, as if they were all shocked by the magnitude of the task!

Luoyang, the eastern capital, is a very big city, roughly calculated at least a dozen kilometers from east to west, and seven or eight kilometers from north to south, with only one night, looking for such a small thing in such a vast range, isn't it really?
