Chapter 55: Trouble
After Liu Lu left the store, he took the small wooden box and did not continue to stay in the black market, and the jade unicorn, who had been waiting outside, although he was very curious about what was in the wooden box, still didn't ask much, and left the black market with Liu Lu.
Out of the streets and alleys of the black market, Liu Lu's footsteps suddenly became a little faster.
"Big brother, someone is following us."
Liu Lu naturally noticed that the people behind him had become blatant, but the other party's intentions were unclear, he didn't want to rush into conflict with the other party, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible, show weakness, and see if the other party was interested in it, and whether he would continue to entangle.
Liu Lu was also wondering in his heart at this time, what was the origin of those people behind? Although he provoked the White Dragon Gang the most, the first thing he excluded was the White Dragon Gang, because with the strength of the White Dragon Gang, there was no need to be sneaky to deal with a person like him.
In addition to the White Dragon Gang, Liu Lu thought of Qin Xiaodao's gang of Qixingtang who he provoked in Qilipo last time, but thinking that no one else knew his whereabouts when he went out this time, with Qixingtang's ability, as long as he didn't show up in front of that eye-catching neighbor Zhou Nan, he couldn't find him at all, and then he was excluded from Qixingtang.
Then he was suspicious of the black market shop, and felt that the jade unicorn around him was also very suspicious, the former knew his net worth, maybe he planned to eat and rob the black.
The latter, which appears inexplicably, has unclear intentions, and its behavior is even more unpredictable, and it is impossible to be unguarded.
Liu Lu found that even if he sped up his pace, the other party not only did not leave, but chased him more closely, and suddenly felt that blindly escaping was not a solution, and he was more likely to fall into a greater conspiracy and danger, so he decided to solve the tail behind first.
"These people are here for me, so if you don't want to get into trouble, you can leave by yourself."
Yu Qilin didn't take Liu Lu's admonition to heart, but looked excited, "Big brother, you don't have to worry about me, I can take care of myself whether I live or die." ”
Liu Lu didn't bother to pay attention to the jade unicorn, the two met in the water, since he was willing to wade into the troubled waters, he would be at the risk of life and death.
Liu Lu dodged into a dark alley, and when he came out of the shadows, he was already holding the Spirit Snake Sword in his hand.
The Jade Qilin and Liu Lu were a few steps away, and they were more focused on the black-clothed but unmasked people behind them, and they didn't see how the Spirit Snake Sword appeared, so they were even more surprised when they suddenly saw Liu Lu have an extra sword in his hand, but he also knew that the current scene was not suitable for questioning.
On the rather spacious street, Liu Lu stopped and waited for the people behind him to approach.
The jade qilin hid to the side, and did not stand in the middle of the street like Liu Lu, and beckoned to Liu Lu at this time, "Big brother, you have to rest assured, give me the box, and I will help you hold it." ”
When he was in the dark alley just now, in order not to attract attention, Liu Lu did not put the wooden box in his hand into the Qingling Ring, as for the appearance of the Spirit Snake Sword, first, he had no choice but to take care of it so much, and second, the sword body was not too big, whether it was hidden or suddenly appeared, it would not be too noticeable, and it was easy to explain and fool.
After hearing the jade unicorn's suggestion, Liu Lu threw it away without hesitation, not that he already trusted the jade unicorn very much, but that there was a bunch of topographic maps in the wooden box, which was useless in the eyes of ordinary people.
Of course, if the jade unicorn really has the ability of an unpredictable prophet, he planned to plot this box of topographic maps from the beginning, and Liu Lu would admit it, because only the gods have this kind of ability, and it is useless to resist the immortals no matter how much they resist, besides, it is really rare for the gods to rarity this kind of broken thing.
Looking at the five black-clothed men who came up, all of them were ordinary faces that he had never seen before, Liu Lu was not in a hurry to speak, but just pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, waiting for the other party to express his position coldly.
One of the men in black sneered, "It's quite calm." ”
"Let's not talk nonsense, let that kid obediently send the wooden box over, and then leave the money on you, and you can get out!"
"What do you mean, robbery?" Liu Lu thought he had misheard.
Looking at the other party's unkind appearance, Liu Lu finally determined that on the street of the capital of Zhaoming Kingdom, he met a robber.
Liu Lu didn't know what to say except for being speechless, and suddenly scolded a few people angrily, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way!" ”
Those few people dared to rob in Star City, whether it was their brains or guts, naturally they were not comparable to ordinary people.
Seeing that Liu Lu "didn't know what to do", several people did it directly.
Three of the five people surrounded Liu Lu, and two of them went to find trouble with the jade unicorn, Liu Lu did not stop him, nor did he mean to help the jade unicorn, he also wanted to borrow those two to touch the bottom of the jade unicorn.
After knowing that the other party was a stupid thief who robbed, Liu Lu no longer took a few people in his eyes, because in his opinion, no one with a slightly stronger skill would do such a stupid thing.
The facts were really similar to what Liu Lu expected, and he didn't pull out his sword to deal with those three people.
And the jade unicorn, who has been paying attention during this period, did not show anything powerful because the opponent was too weak, and just used dexterous body skills to make the two unable to touch their figures.
Liu Lu felt that this was a complete waste of his precious time, and decided to stop this farce, so he no longer showed mercy, and after knocking a few people to the ground in three or two, he directly beckoned the jade unicorn to leave, and the two black-clothed people who were still chasing the jade unicorn to play, after seeing the miserable appearance of their companions, could only watch the jade unicorn leave with a smile, and did not dare to stop it at all.
After cleaning up a few stupid little miscellaneous fish, Liu Lu was somewhat speechless, he couldn't imagine that he could still encounter a robbery on the streets of this Star City.
After a little twist and turn, Liu Lu finally returned to his courtyard in the west of the city, quietly.
As for the jade unicorn with the fart, naturally there are a bunch of excuses to stay at Liu Lu's house, saying that he can be regarded as a brother who has lived and died with Liu Lu, and wants to stay at Liu Lu's house for one night.
Liu Lu accepted this, he just wanted to see what kind of demon moth the kid was going to play.
Liu Lu was not polite to the jade qilin, so he didn't treat him as a guest, and directly settled the jade qilin in the small firewood room, saying that the conditions were shabby, let the jade qilin make do, and not give the jade qilin a chance to change places.
Back in his bedroom, Liu Lu paid attention to the movement of the jade unicorn for a while, and after finding that the kid was quite quiet, he went to rest.
Liu Lu has always slept relatively lightly, and he can usually wake him up with a little movement, so early the next morning, after Liu Lu woke up, he was a little surprised that the jade unicorn could be quiet and not have a whole thing this night.
When I got out of the house, I found that the jade unicorn had already woken up, and at this time, I stepped on the wall in the yard and followed the small stone garden, lying on the wall and looking at Aunt Zhang's house next door.
Liu Lu was speechless for a moment, picked up a small mud block on the ground and smashed it. "What are you doing?"
The jade qilin seemed to have noticed Liu Lu a long time ago, so when the mud was smashed on his body, he just turned his head and smiled obscenely, "Big brother, you are not shallow, there is such a beautiful girl next door." ”
Liu Lu's face darkened, this bastard actually dared to lie on the wall and look at Zhang Cailing, this account would definitely be recorded on his head, "Hurry up and get down, you are addicted to voyeurism." ”
The jade unicorn was a little reluctant to come down from the wall.
For this guy who doesn't eat oil and salt, Liu Lu is quite helpless.
"Seeing that you are so interested, you should have slept well last night."
Speaking of this, Yu Qilin looked resentful, "Big brother, don't say it, your family is so poor, why do you still have so many rats, I haven't slept all night." ”
Hearing this, Liu Lu had some schadenfreude on his face, "You also see that my family is poor, so pay for room and board." ”
"Big brother, you're not serious, are you?" The jade unicorn was a little dumbfounded, just under this condition, it is not better than sleeping on the street outside, and there is actually a cost of room and board.
"The conditions are indeed a little harder, but there is a strong environment! You see you're lying on the wall early in the morning drooling, it's so hard that it's not worth it. ”
The jade unicorn was speechless, thinking that in a place like your house, where rats have to leave with tears when they come, it is good to have a fart environment!
The good thing is the beautiful girl next door!
I was not there for a few days, it can be said that there is no surplus food at all in the "four walls of the family", and I was going to go out for breakfast, but after hearing the shouting of the merchant passing by in the alley outside, Liu Lu went out to buy two cakes, and decided to make do with breakfast.
Thinking of the way the jade unicorn picked up something to eat last night, Liu Lu was kind enough to buy two more for the jade unicorn, which really made the jade unicorn grateful.
When the two were nibbling on the cake, Zhang Cailing next door actually pushed open the courtyard door and came in quietly.
I haven't seen her for a few days, Zhang Cailing is still so beautiful, but Liu Lu knows from her dark face that it must not be a good thing, most likely because of the trouble caused by the jade qilin.
"Who is this, your relative?" Zhang Cailing had a cold face.
Liu Lu put down the cake in his hand, and the smile on his face did not decrease, "No, the beggar who was picked up on the road last night looked pitiful and took in for a night." ”
"Take care of him, like a little rascal, lying on the wall and whistling, staring at other people's homes."
Liu Lu was quite embarrassed, he didn't expect this kid to be such a bastard and destroy his good image in Zhang Cailing's eyes. "I'm really embarrassed, he has a bit of a problem with his brain, so I saw that he was pitiful and helped him."
"Sister, you're so beautiful!" The jade unicorn nibbled on the cake and sat on the stone platform under the eaves, looking simple and restrained.
Seeing that this guy is quite capable of acting, Liu Lu walked over and kicked him speechlessly, meaning to let him restrain a little. "Eat your bread well."
Ignoring Liu Lu, the jade unicorn had an innocent young man's expression. "Sister, my name is Jade Qilin, the jade of the jade tree in the wind, the Qilin of the Qilin genius, do you want to go shopping together?"
"Hooligans!"
After Zhang Cailing glared at the jade unicorn, she motioned for Liu Lu to go out with her, and had something to say to Liu Lu.
When the jade qilin was about to get up and want to get close to Zhang Cailing, he was slapped on the head by Liu Lu, and then sat back with interest.
When he arrived outside the courtyard, Zhang Cailing said: "When you were not there in the past few days, Zhou Nan led some people to look for you around your yard several times, it seems that they are looking for trouble for you, you have to be careful." ”
The trouble that should come is still coming, it seems that the group of Qin Xiaodao of the Seven Star Hall don't want to stop there.
"Okay, I'll take care of it." To be honest, Liu Lu didn't pay much attention to the likes of Qin Xiaodao of the Seven Star Hall, although it was a little troublesome, but it was not enough to cause him too much trouble.
Liu Lu asked Zhang Cailing: "Did they bully you?" ”
Zhang Cailing shook his head, "They were bumped into by Brother Xiaohe and taught us a lesson, so they didn't dare to harass us anymore." ”
"That's good." Liu Lu nodded, it seems that Bai Xiaohe's brother in the White Dragon Gang should not be an ordinary gang, otherwise he would not be able to suppress the group of Seven Star Hall.
Then Zhang Cailing told Liu Lu to be careful, saying that Zhou Nan's gang had a lot of background behind it, and advised Liu Lu to avoid the limelight.
After Zhang Cailing finished speaking, Liu Lu stared expressionlessly at the closed door of the butcher's house opposite the door for a while.
"Do you know that there is a gang called Seven Star Hall here in the west of the city?" Liu Lu remembered that the Jade Qilin seemed to be quite familiar with Star City, and should know something about the Seven Star Hall, and what kind of background Qin Xiaodao and the others had.
Jade Qilin thought for a moment, "I know a little, there are not many fifty people recently, and it can barely be regarded as a third-rate gang." ”
Liu Lu asked, "Oh? I heard that they still have a lot of background? ”
"Huh!" Jade Qilin had a disapproving expression, "It can be regarded as the son of a deputy lieutenant of the City Guards. ”
This is really worthy of Star City, it seems that there is no shortage of all kinds of officials in the capital, and there is more or less the background of the government behind any force.
Contamination of the official mansion made Liu Lu feel a little headache, these families are all idle and have nothing to do, the biggest problem is to have a good face, if you have no background, you will be entangled if you provoke these people, so it seems that you can avoid it as much as possible.
"What, did you mess with them?"
"It's a little bit of a holiday." Liu Lu didn't say much to the jade unicorn.
"I said, brother, why are you still here, you have eaten, why should you go?" Liu Lu still has something to do, he wants to study the matter of digging treasures with Xianyi, so he naturally doesn't want Jade Qilin, a guy of unknown origin, to get in the way.
"I still want to be close to you for a few more days, big brother."
"I can't stand it, you leave quickly. If I don't leave, I'll have to charge for room and board. ”
"Okay." The jade qilin patted his buttocks, and when he was about to go out, he asked Liu Ludao: "Big brother, why don't we go to the trouble of that Seven Star Hall together and avenge you?" ”
"You said that I can afford to mess with such a background, I packed up today and was about to run away, and went out to hide for a while. Play your go! ”
drove away the jade unicorn, and Liu Lu closed the courtyard door.
Then go back to the house and lay out all the topographic maps I got last night.
This time, Xianyi was rare and quite serious, and he came out of his form and carefully studied the topographic map on the table.
Xian Yi had words in his mouth, "Today's Mushe Mountain is the West Dao Palace of the Yin and Yang Sect back then, I didn't find anything useful left before, according to the situation of the year, it should be that there are a few hairs left...... Yulong Mountain Range is thousands of miles away from the north is a small force to break the military mansion back then, in the hinterland of Jinchang Country today, it is too far, this kid's level is not ...... enough, the West Dao Palace is three thousand miles to the south, it seems to be a small inheritance family, I don't know if there are any heirs ......left, I remember that there is a small sect here that is quite interesting... …”
Liu Lu listened carefully to Xianyi's chatter with headphones on his side, although he didn't understand, but he just felt very powerful, after all, even if he asked these things, Xianyi wouldn't pay attention to him.
After half a ring, Xian Yi finally drew three places, indicating that they were the locations of several small sects that were a little interesting in his impression, and he could go and see if there was anything left.
The three places that Xian Yi easily drew can be said to be distributed in all directions of the Illumination Country, and the distance between them is a little scary, which makes Liu Xian frown a little, "I said, is this a little too far, this is all on the border." ”
"Humph!" Xian Yi is more reasonable than Liu Lu, "This is still for me to take care of you, and I only choose a few interesting third-rate small sect ruins in this Zhaoming Kingdom." You have to understand that this is based on the strength of the immortal cultivator, if it is that kind of first-class sect, the span between each other is measured in thousands of miles, in those days, the entire Xidao Palace around the 100,000 li boundary, there were only two or three first-class sects, this kind of place may have good things left, but do you have this strength, rely on your two legs, don't think about it in this life. ”
"After all, you kid is too wasteful!"
Liu Luzui said stiffly: "Okay, okay, you are powerful, so powerful that you show off in front of me as a mortal." ”
