The rising morning sun slowly revealed its forehead, and a carriage stopped by the river outside Shenzhou City.

"Rest for a while, let's get ready to go into the city. Lu Zhou washed his face by the river and said to Chao Jin'er.

Of course, before entering the city, they still need to change their appearance.

Chao Jin'er sat on the grass, looking at Lu Zhou's back, in a daze, the Lu Zhou of Lingyun Pavilion in her mind and the Lu Zhou who killed people a few days ago constantly overlapped, and she was a little flustered.

Although she knew that the task was to hunt down the dead leaves, she also knew that there would always be a time to kill.

But when Lu Zhou really killed someone, she found that Lu Zhou was very different from the Lu Zhou in her impression.

What kind of person was Lu Zhou in the past?

Chao Jin'er remembered that in Lingyun Pavilion, Lu Zhou never looked at anyone casually, because Lu Zhou said that sometimes a glance would cause a lot of trouble for himself.

He also doesn't chat with others casually, and keeps a sufficient distance from any female disciples.

Of course, Chao Jin'er is an exception.

After all, at that time, Chao Jin'er was just a little girl.

When she was a child, she also went to the black market with Lu Zhou once, because Lu Zhou needed some materials to refine drugs, but no matter how much Lu Zhou needed that thing, he only bid once, and if someone grabbed him, he would give it to the other party directly.

Chao Jin'er asked him why?

Lu Zhou just said lightly: "I'm worried that the other party doesn't have enough money." ”

She still remembered that Lu Zhou was very enthusiastic at that time, but whenever the disciples in the sect were scolded for being wasted and those old men who were sloppy and unkempt, Lu Zhou would do his best to help them.

How kind Senior Brother Lu was at that time!

Lu Zhou especially took special care of the disciples surnamed Ye, Xiao, Lin, and Han in the Lingyun Pavilion, if that disciple had a withdrawn personality, Lu Zhou would generally hide as far as he could.

At this point, Chao Jin'er has never figured out why......

All in all, Senior Brother Lu at that time was steady, calm, gentle and kind, far from the appearance of killing people a few days ago.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lu Zhou's words interrupted her thoughts.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm just thinking, senior brother, why did you let Huang Shengsheng go?" Chao Jin'er came back to her senses.

Although Chao Jin'er didn't want Lu Zhou to kill people, she was still puzzled by Lu Zhou letting Huang Shengsheng go.

After all, Huang Shengsheng is not a good person.

Lu Zhou smiled faintly: "I remember I said that our mission is just dead leaves. ”

"Kill Huang for a lifetime, do you get paid?"

"But, after all, he saw that we had taken the Arhat Golden Body. Chao Jin'er frowned slightly.

"Huh. ”

Lu Zhou stood up: "What he saw was obviously the golden body of the Arhat taken by the Thousand-Faced Poison King. ”

"We've never been out of Shenzhou City, haven't we?"

Chao Jin'er: "......"

Chao Jin'er didn't ask anything more, but Lu Zhou could obviously feel that she was in a bad mood, it stands to reason that the task was completed, she should feel relaxed, and for some reason there was a little more solemnity on her pretty face.

At this moment, a paper crane flew over leisurely and landed at Chao Jin'er's feet.

Chao Jin'er entered the true yuan, and the paper crane slowly unfolded.

She glanced at it: "My mother told me to go home first." ”

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Then you go back first, and pay attention to finding a place to change your appearance back." ”

Chao Jin'er glanced up at him: "You can go with you too." ”

Lu Zhou thought for a while: "I'll go back and hand in the task first, I won't go there during the day, it's not safe, I'll go over at night." ”

An undercover agent with a backstage is different, if you want to go home, you can go home, Lu Zhou can only secretly envy in his heart.

"Good. ”

Chao Jin'er seemed to be in a better mood, then waved his hand and left, and after a while, Lu Zhou saw a light yellow rainbow across the sky.

This is what a monk should be, fly when he wants to.

Like them, they are undercover, for fear that others will see through their origins, unless necessary, they generally prefer to choose ordinary transportation such as horse-drawn carriages.

Besides, it's very unsafe to fly in mid-air.

......

......

When Lu Zhou returned to Lichun Courtyard, the whole street was empty.

This kind of business is always very deserted during the day.

This is also the reason why Lu Zhou chose to come back during the day instead of at night.

Of course, before he came back, he had already circled the streets and alleys of Shenzhou City many times, until he was sure that no one was following, so he unhurriedly parked the carriage in the backyard of Lichun Courtyard.

"Coming back?"

Qu Qi Niang was basking in the sun in the yard, and the warm sunlight shone on her calm face, shining with an indifferent peace.

Lu Zhou nodded and put the golden body of the Arhat behind him on the ground.

"Where's the scorpion tail?"

Qu Qiniang didn't see Chao Jin'er's figure.

"Home. Lu Zhou said with a smile.

Qu Qiniang raised her eyelids, as if she didn't care about Chao Jin'er going home privately.

"How's the mission going?"

She asked softly, her eyes not looking at what Lu Zhou had placed on the ground from beginning to end.

As a scorpion raiser, she is more concerned about Lu Zhou's first mission as a scorpion leader, after all, Lu Zhou will be under her control for a long time in the future.

Lu Zhou replied: "The mission is complete, successfully kill the dead leaves, and recapture the golden body of the Arhat, I believe that the news of the death of the dead leaves will be transmitted to Shenzhou City in less than three days, and the golden body of the Arhat is here." ”

He gestured to the corpse wrapped in black cloth behind him.

Qu Qiniang nodded: "It doesn't take three days, the Qingyun list has been updated last night, and the first-ranked thousand-faced poison monarch is automatically off the list because the realm has broken through to the Yuan Immortal Realm, and the reason is that in the process of killing the dead leaves, he has shown the strength of the Yuan Immortal Realm." ”

Her eyes burned at Lu Zhou, hoping to see something from Lu Zhou's face.

Lu Zhou just smiled slightly: "They thought I was a thousand-faced poison king, but I didn't refute it." ”

"Them?" Qu Qiniang was stunned.

"Spiegel and Huang Shengsheng. ”

Lu Zhou briefly recounted what happened on the way to the pursuit, Qu Qiniang listened carefully, nodded slightly, at least he couldn't find any fault logically.

There were some mistakes in the pursuit of the killing, which showed that there was a problem with Lu Zhou's judgment, of course, this was also because Qu Qiniang did not pass the latest information to him in time.

Fortunately, the ending is perfect, and Lu Zhou's ability is still good.

At least do this business, very qualified.

She said softly: "I will report the results of the mission, and the rewards will be issued after a period of organization verification." ”

"Of course, maybe I don't have to report it, Scorpion Tail has already reported it. ”

When she said this, her eyebrows were stained with a faint sadness.

Lu Zhou consciously did not connect.

Obviously, this involves Qu Qi Niang's past memories, and this memory doesn't seem to be particularly good.

"By the way, Seventh Sister, Huang Shengsheng said that he knew the secret of the dead leaves. ”

Lu Zhou changed the topic and said.

"Did you ask?" Qu Qiniang brushed the bangs on her forehead.

"Nope. ”

Lu Zhou shook his head: "It's not a good thing for a person to know too many secrets, and many people who think they know secrets will ......

All dead. ”
