Birds flew in the sky.

Lu Yun raised his eyes and waved his sleeve robe lightly.

A large golden handprint whistled by, grabbing all the birds that had returned home.

The martial art of "Dragon Snatcher" was originally urged by qi and blood, and the distance and power were limited, but after the blessing of true qi and Brahma auspicious clouds, the power increased greatly.

In layman's terms, it is from a simple control skill to a control plus output.

Lu Yun withdrew his hand and stood and released his palm.

Twitter......

A few birds screamed in a panic and flapped their wings vigorously.

"Go."

Lu Yun raised his hand and gave them a ride.

Looking at the disappearing figures of the birds, Lu Yun's figure disappeared from the spot in a flash.

The next moment, he had already arrived at Xu Dongzhi's residence.

Xu Tingshi, who was already so thin that he was out of shape, did not sleep, there was a lamp in the room, and the dim light filled the night sky through the window, like a watchman facing the darkness.

The double door was covered, and Lu Yun slowly pushed it away.

Squeak......

An old man who had taken off his official robe was sitting at a somewhat mottled wooden table, smacking his face with chopsticks.

The noodles are not hearty at all, at least for the level of thorns.

A handful of thin noodles, half a spoonful of broth, two tall and crisp cabbage, and an egg are a simple meal.

"I'm sorry, Lord Lu, I was suddenly hungry at night, so I cooked a bowl of noodles by myself." Xu Dongzhi laughed while eating.

At this time, he was not like a state assassin in the Daqian Empire, but like an ordinary old farmer in the field.

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Yun was not polite, and directly moved a stool and sat down opposite him.

Xu Dongzhi smiled and continued to eat noodles with his head bored.

With the sound of his squirming noodles, a bowl of noodle soup quickly bottomed out.

"Ah, it's delicious!"

Xu Dongzhi had a satisfied smile on his face, and he looked at Lu Yun and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious noodles." ”

Lu Yun also smiled: "What you eat is not noodles, but your mood." ”

After that, Xu Dongzhi's movements paused.

Lu Yun didn't have any superfluous movements, his back was slightly bent, and his hands were placed on the wooden table steadily, as if he was chatting with an old friend.

Alas......

Xu Dongzhi wiped his mouth, and then a long sigh sounded: "Presumably Lord Lu has already seen that the little old man is running out...... Ahem. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yun's pupils lit up with two furnace-like flames, and in an instant, Xu Dongzhi's physical state was swept away.

"The qi and blood in your body are disordered and empty, but you have true qi attached to the white bones, and it is constantly polishing and penetrating, as if you are feeding your bones with the vitality of your whole body?"

Lu Yun's face was heavy, and he felt that the mastermind behind the scenes seemed to be using Xu Dongzhi to prepare to do something.

"Hehe, Lord Lu is really as wise as a torch." Xu Dongzhi said with a pale face.

Lu Yun pondered for a while, and said, "Your rapid promotion from Wancheng Taishou to Jingzhou Assassin is not the compensation made by the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

"This ......" Xu Dongzhi wanted to stop talking, but it was precisely this hesitation that let Lu Yun know that what he said was true.

"The mastermind behind the scenes should be someone in the court of Daqian, it stands to reason that the appointment and dismissal of officials should go through the ministry, but if it is a special clan member who has won the favor of the Son of Heaven, it may also be ......"

Xu Dongzhi's face showed pleading, and said, "Lord Lu, the old man begs you to stop talking." ”

"Is that person the eighth princess of the current saint, Li Yuxian, who is named Princess Yuanzhen?" Lu Yun asked.

His aura was full of energy, like a fierce tiger, and he tortured Xu Dongzhi's mind sharply.

"Yes, yes...... Be! ”

Xu Dongzhi couldn't refuse at all, and he didn't want to refuse subconsciously, so he finally admitted it despite Lu Yun's terrifying gaze.

Sigh......

Lu Yun let out a sigh of relief and returned to the relaxed sitting position he had just had.

Feeling the sudden change in atmosphere, Xu Dongzhi also gently wiped the fine sweat on his forehead.

"What kind of exercises are you practicing?" Lu Yun asked suddenly.

"A castrated version of the Book of Bones."

Xu Dongzhi replied truthfully: "The Book of White Bones is the foundation of the White Bone Buddhism, offering bones with the whole body, and then feeding the body after the bones are offered, Princess Yuanzhen gave the old man only half of the exercises. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "If you want to get the other half, you have to keep doing things for her, and what you need to cooperate with her at the moment is ......"

Xu Dongzhi glanced at Lu Yun and couldn't go on.

"Is it to cooperate with the most wanted criminals on the list to besiege and kill our family?"

If he couldn't go on, Lu Yun helped him say it.

"Well, yes."

Lu Yun didn't blame Xu Dongzhi for this, he just had a trace of doubt in his heart.

According to his understanding of Xu Dongzhi, he doesn't look like the kind of person who is willing to pay any price for the promotion of his official position?

Could it be that there is a scene in it that I don't know?

Lu Yun asked the doubts in his heart.

Hearing this, Xu Dongzhi smiled miserably: "What Lord Lu said is that the old man is indeed not the kind of person who will do anything for fame and fortune!" ”

"The reason why the old man has come to this point is purely because those white-bone Buddhists have taken advantage of the old man's weakness!" Xu Dongzhi said indignantly.

"Weakness?" Lu Yun frowned slightly: "Could it be ......?"

Xu Dongzhi sighed: "As Lord Lu thought, the old man's only son, Xu Chunyu, has been controlled by them, and has become neither human nor ghostly, the old man really has no way to ......"

Speaking of which, the dignified history of a state assassin turned out to be a little tearful.

Xu Chunyu?

Lu Yun thought of the oily-haired young man in his mind.

Strange to say, he seems to have never seen this person since he came to Jingzhou's Thorn History Mansion.

"Then, your son ...... now," Lu Yun said halfway through.

Xu Dongzhi stood up, he really looked like a dying old man at this time.

"Lord Lu, please come with the old man."

With that, Xu Dongzhi left the house and walked in front to lead the way.

He personally carried a yellowed lantern and walked along the corridor to a very remote and secluded compound.

The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and from time to time small bugs can be seen flying through the weeds.

Apparently, no one has cleaned it up for a long time.

Lu Yun looked at Xu Dongzhi, and the latter nodded: "Don't hide it from Lord Lu, this is where the dog is, the old man is afraid that his subordinates will be hurt by him inadvertently, so he ordered no one to approach here, and the usual meals are delivered by the old man." ”

"I see, Xu Tingshi can be regarded as having a heart." Hearing this, Lu Yun nodded.

The evaluation of Xu Dongzhi in his heart has been raised again.

Squeak......

There was a small wooden house in the compound, and Xu Dong opened the lock and pushed the gate open.
