Chapter 41: Foolproof

I'm done?

Xu Que glared at Zhou Lin after hearing this, and asked, "Why?"

"It's taboo to take it without asking, and it's a big no-no, although no one has ever done that, but ...... There is indeed such a rule, Brother Xu, you hurry up and return the things, while it is still too late. Zhou Lin's expression was extremely solemn, and after speaking, he hurriedly picked up the jade figurine armor beside him and handed it to Xu Que.

"If you don't go, the silver taels that went into my pocket, how can there be any reason to return them?" Xu Que raised his eyebrows and said with a natural look.

Zhou Lin almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and exclaimed, "You also stole other people's silver taels?"

"Don't worry, no one knows we stole it. Xu Que walked over, patted Zhou Lin's shoulder calmly, and comforted.

Zhou Lin hurriedly dodged his hand, and said with a tense face: "I just went to Jiazitang yesterday to borrow the jade warrior armor, and today the jade warrior armor was lost, who can't see that we stole it?"

After speaking, he realized that there seemed to be something wrong, his eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly cleared up: "No, it's not us, it's you who stole it yourself." ”

Xu Que smiled and said: "Don't care about these details, think about it, we just went to borrow the jade warrior armor yesterday, and today the jade warrior armor was lost, saying that we stole it, where will anyone believe it, how can there be such a stupid thief in the world? ”

"Brother Xu, it's not us, it's you. Zhou Lin rolled his eyes, he was very speechless about Xu Que's explanation, even if he stole it, he dared to leave a word, making it clear that he was a fair thief, where did such a stupid thief come from in this world.

"Okay, okay, it's not us, it's you. Xu Que nodded as if he could.

Zhou Lin didn't bother to care about anything, shook his head, his face froze, and said: "Brother Xu, you don't have to say more, I won't wear this jade armor if I say anything, if you don't want to be scrapped and repaired into a mirage, it's best to quickly put things back in place, and erase the words on the white paper." ”

"Brother Zhou, you will believe me again, this matter is absolutely foolproof, I am fully prepared. Xu Que squinted, and Yun smiled lightly.

"What preparations?" Zhou Lin's gaze swept over.

Xu Que stuffed the jade warrior armor back into Zhou Lin's hand: "First bring the jade warrior armor and crush the jade talisman, and I will tell you slowly on the way." ”

Zhou Lin immediately raised his hand to block it, and said righteously: "Forget Brother Xu, you have to have a degree of nonsense, making trouble in the sky before was the craziest thing I have ever done in my life, and it is really interesting, but I will not agree to this matter today no matter what." ”

"Brother Zhou, this time is truly foolproof. ”

"How can I be foolproof?"

"There's someone above me. ”

“......”

Zhou Lin looked at Xu Que for a long time in a daze, and the two of them stared at each other.

It wasn't until after a few breaths that Zhou Lin shook his head and sighed, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said with an indifferent expression: "Brother Xu, hurry up and take it back, the students of Jiazitang will be back soon, remember to help me close the door when you go out." ”

Not long after his words fell, a few dense footsteps suddenly came from the corridor, and when he passed in front of Zhou Linfang's door, he could clearly hear the conversation of those people.

"Brother Yu, I'm afraid that this afternoon's daydream will be no pressure for you, and when the time comes, you can easily complete the task and win the first place. ”

"Brother Li's words are wrong, since it is an experience, naturally he will not bring the jade warrior armor, otherwise everything will be meaningless. ”

"Hey, then why don't you want to lend the jade warrior armor to the two children in the T-shaped hall? If you can help them go to the Qiongyu Tower, they will soar in the future, and you will have made two more strong friends." ”

"Heh, Brother Li, if the pavilion master wants them to go to Qiongyulou, why do they need to come to me to borrow the jade warrior armor, if we really borrow it, wouldn't it be against the pavilion master?"

"I see, it's too simple to think about it, but Brother Yu can see it thoroughly. ”

"Brother Li is polite, those two children don't look at their own skills, they were lucky to win the first place in the assessment, but they set the lowest record, and they are not ashamed of it, but they are proud of the villain. Take 10,000 steps back, people like this, even if they really let them go to Qiongyulou, they won't do anything. ”

"Haha, Brother Yu is right......"

A hearty laugh followed them as they drifted away until they disappeared into the aisle.

Zhou Lin's face was already pale, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were full of anger.

Xu Que took out the jade talisman from his arms, looked at Zhou Lin and said, "Brother Zhou, you see that they are all back, and it's too late to put them back now, so I'll take the first step, and you can take care of the rest of this jade armor." ”

"Brother Xu, ......" Zhou Lin saw that this was wrong, and hurriedly grabbed the jade figurine armor and stood up and wanted to return it to Xu Que, but Xu Que directly crushed the jade talisman in his hand, and his figure was blurred for a while, and then the white light flashed, and the whole person disappeared in place in an instant.

Zhou Lin froze in place suddenly, his face was full of astonishment, now it is really as Xu Que said, he can't go back if he wants to, and this second jade figurine armor is still in his room, in case the two students of Jiazitang find that the jade figurine armor is lost, they will directly take the master to his room to search, and at that time, they will really jump into the Yellow River and can't wash it.

"Brother Xu, can't you stop dragging me into the water?"

In the end, Zhou Lin wanted to cry and muttered to himself without tears, picked up the jade warrior armor and a few pieces of luggage, directly crushed the jade talisman, and his figure disappeared without a trace.

After a while, Xu Que and Zhou Lin met outside the Yellow Sky Tower, both of them were reported to this place, Zhou Lin saw that Xu Que was still wearing jade warrior armor in a bright light, looking heroic and martial, and suddenly felt depressed, and secretly said Is this guy lacking roots, why does he not have the consciousness of being a thief at all, and he is still so spirited?

Immediately, he stuffed the jade figurine armor in his hand into Xu Que's arms, and said with a bitter face: "Brother Xu, you better hurry up and find a way to destroy these two things, this time I was really miserable by you, you can let me go." ”

"Eh, Brother Zhou, don't panic, everything is on me, and nothing will happen. Xu Que looked heroic, stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Lin on the shoulder, lowered his head and looked at his clothes after speaking, and said: "I have to say, this jade armor is really a treasure, do you see that I am more and more imposing after wearing it?"

Zhou Lin glanced at him strangely, and said bitterly: "Brother Xu, sometimes I really can't understand you, you are obviously very smart, why do you want to do such a foolish thing today?"

Xu Que's expression froze, he returned to his serious appearance, looked up at the sky, and said: "Brother Zhou, don't say it, although I have always given everyone the impression that I am honest and introverted, and I am not good at talking, but today this matter is definitely not confused, let's go to Qiongyulou quickly, otherwise it will be dark, and you should know what will happen." ”

As soon as Zhou Lin heard the sky, he suddenly remembered the beast tide, and his face instantly lost blood, and he felt like he was being forced into a desperate situation, which showed that Xu Que was so confident, and he was still shaken after all.

"Brother Xu, are you really sure that nothing will happen?" he asked.

Xu Que smiled indifferently, it was not easy to guarantee anything else, but he was indeed fully prepared for the matter of the jade warrior armor, so he nodded, and walked away with a smile without saying a word, leaving Zhou Lin with an unfathomable back.

The corners of Zhou Lin's mouth twitched slightly, although he couldn't rest assured, he could only go to Qiongyulou at this moment, otherwise as soon as the beast tide arrived, the two of them would really die.

The road to Qiongyu Tower is indeed not far, the Star Picking Pavilion itself is extremely close to the center of the mirage, Xu Que followed behind Zhou Lin, and after walking for more than half an hour, he faintly saw a more towering building through a layer of white mist.

Different from the fourth floor of the Xingxing Pavilion, the Qiongyu Building looks obviously more magnificent and atmospheric, the building is towering into the clouds, most of the bricks and tiles are replaced by jade, and the four corner eaves are made of golden glaze, under the scorching sun at noon, the whole Qiongyu Building is bright, quite a golden and brilliant momentum.

"Brother Xu, with our foot strength, there is still an hour to reach Qiongyu Tower, why don't you tell me about your plan this time?" On the way, Zhou Lin finally couldn't help it and asked.

Xu Que touched the tip of his nose, glanced around, shook his head and said, "Brother Zhou, believe me, when did you hurt you?" This is not a place to talk, when we go to Qiongyu Tower, you will know everything." ”

He didn't say it, not because he didn't trust Zhou Lin, but because he was worried that the entire mirage was under the eyes of Hongyan or Zhang Ziming, if he broke it out here and was secretly heard, then he and Zhou Lin would really be unlucky.

Therefore, now he is trying to be cautious in every step, and taking advantage of Zhang Ziming and Hongyan, or other than him and Zhou Lin, to quickly rush to Qiongyulou to board the building without anyone knowing, then this matter is considered to be more than half successful.

Zhou Lin was suspicious of Xu Que's words, although Xu Que did not harm him, but every time he always felt like he was trapped. However, seeing Xu Que's appearance, and he himself was no longer able to control the current situation, he could only continue to believe in Xu Que.

Along the way, the two saw a lot of guards with good strength, and naturally attracted the attention of the guards, but no one paid attention to them, and they didn't even interrogate, so the two kept moving in the direction of Qiongyulou.

About an hour later, Xu Que finally came to Qiongyu's downstairs, saw this extraordinary building up close, and his heart fluctuated again.

And this stone staircase in front of him, he felt very familiar, although there is no endless feeling in the daydream, but the whole 3,000 floors, is shocking enough, it is hard to imagine, to build such a stone staircase with extraordinary gravity, how much manpower and resources should be spent, and the purpose is only to highlight the supremacy of Qiongyu Tower.

"Alas, doing this stone step is really a waste of labor and money!" Xu Que couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, worrying about the country and the people, so that Zhou Lin on the side couldn't help but be stunned.

"It turns out that Brother Xu still has such a heart. Zhou Lin muttered to himself in his heart, and a faint trace of admiration arose.

As a result, Xu Que just sighed, but a faint sentence floated down: "When I succeed in cultivation in the future, I will definitely get a residence that is more atmospheric than Qiongyu Tower, or it would be good to make a palace." Brother Zhou, you said that to build a palace, how many silver taels will it cost?"

Xu Que said and turned his head to look at Zhou Lin, who almost slipped and fell to the ground.
