Chapter 19: Bait (1)
When he came to the side courtyard and saw Xiao Xue, Fang Ling asked about it, Xiao Xue was puzzled when he heard it, and finally picked up the medicine pod and pondered for a long time, and finally came to only one explanation, that is, the silver light grass was not fully ripe.
The silver light grass absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, but it is born in darkness, cannot see the sun, is born in water, and cannot be stained with dry soil. Therefore, it must be kept in metal vessels so that it does not decay.
Because Xiao Xue had only heard of the Silver Light Grass and had never seen it, she was not sure if it was really an adult Silver Light Grass, if it was not yet mature, then it was likely to decay after dehydration, and once it decayed, it would turn to ashes.
Because there were already some ashes left over from refining medicine in the medicine pod, this explanation was reasonable.
Fang Ling only felt a great pity, wouldn't it be a great thing if he took this silver light grass mother, but now there was no way to go back to the cave, even if he went, there were so many curves and forks that there was no guarantee that he could really find it.
He went out into the courtyard and took something from the boxes in the carriage before going into the house to rest.
The next day, on the last boat in the evening, Fang Ling and Dong Canghai took a carriage out of the city first, pretending to be travelers on a long journey, because there were hundreds of elite soldiers at the dock checking passengers, so the city gate was very relaxed here, and the soldiers were almost chatting with each other.
Outside the market, the guards pretended to rest and parked the carriage in a corner, while Dong Canghai and the others quietly moved boxes of things to the corner of the shoal, which happened to be the blind spot of the dock's vision.
When it was late and the light dimmed, the fishermen began to return from the river one after another, and when they reached the last group of people, Dong Canghai and others began to move along the shallows.
Although the box is quite heavy, the realm of Dong Canghai and other guards in the Rigid Force Realm is not a joke, and they can lift a thousand catties, not to mention how many boxes of things?
So, under the cover of night, the returning fishermen, and the wooden shelves around the shallow stalls, everyone made their way to the side of the warship and climbed up the deck along the rope.
After everyone got on the boat, Su whispered to his son to be careful, and Fang Ling left in the night.
Back in the city, it was already the time when the lights were just on, and the city gate was about to be closed in half an hour, and Fang Ling knew that he had to hurry up.
The night scene of Pingtan Pass is more prosperous than that of Qingshui Pass, and the figures of patrolling soldiers constantly appear on the streets. Fang Ling mingled in the crowd, avoiding the gaze of the patrolling soldiers, and soon came to the outside of the general's mansion.
As the highest institution in Pingtan Pass, the general's mansion is also heavily guarded. However, Fang Ling came out of the heavily guarded palace, and compared to there, this seemingly impregnable mansion was actually full of loopholes, plus after taking the Silver Light Grass, Fang Ling's cultivation had reached the peak realm of the Qi Storage Realm, and his strength could open the monument and gravel, and his body could be as light as a wild goose.
After sneaking into the general's mansion quietly, Fang Ling searched for a while, and finally followed a maid who delivered supper, and finally saw Zhou Yongcheng near the atrium of the official residence.
Like the appearance Chen Mou had heard, Zhou Yongcheng was about forty years old, with a square face and a wide forehead, a red mole the size of a soybean at the center of his eyebrows, and a slightly chubby figure.
