76 Chapter 74-only hooking up and listening to music can soothe my soul (1)

[ Lu: don’t believe number nine. Don’t respond, don’t respond, don’t respond ... ]

In the quiet reception hall, Xu Qi ‘an stared at this sentence, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

An indescribable fear filled his heart.

He took a sip of tea in a daze and was in a daze for a moment before he broke free from the strange and terrifying atmosphere.

‘This’ Lu ‘should be the light I just touched ...’ What did he mean by that? number nine was lying to me?

If number nine is lying to me, what’s the reason? If Lu knew that nine was lying to me, why didn’t he tell me earlier?

If number nine was not trustworthy, then number Lu was equally suspicious.

I don’t believe in anyone.

Xu Qi ‘an took a deep breath and typed in a message with his finger.

[ 3: Who are you? On what basis was number nine not trustworthy? [ you’re a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, aren’t you? ]

[ Lu: yes. ]

He actually admitted it so readily ... Xu Qi ‘an was silent for a few seconds, then wrote, ”

[ 3: what do you mean by what you said just now? ]

[ Lu: the Book of the Netherworld belongs to the Heaven and Earth Society, and No. 9 is from the earth sect. They are a group of fierce and brutal lunatics, unreasonable. Don’t come into contact with them, your life might be in danger. ]

[ 3: how did you know I was in contact with number nine? ]

Xu Qi ‘an questioned.

[ Lu: the third fragment has been sealed by the earth sect, cutting off its ability to send letters to us. The earth sect can also lock onto the third fragment through the ninth fragment.

[ this is the reason why Golden Lotus Daoist priest gave up the fragment and gave it to you. ]

.... In other words, even if I don’t trade with number nine, he can still lock onto me through number nine?

No wonder he didn’t rush me to return it to its original owner, and even gave me the initiative to choose the location.

No wonder when I asked No. 9 yesterday if the people of the heaven and earth Association could use the ‘Book of the Earth’ to lock onto my position, he changed the topic ... Xu Qi ‘an recalled more details.

No matter what I choose, he’ll definitely make a profit. If I choose to trade, he can kill me. If I don’t choose to trade, he can stall for time until he can lock onto my position.

?.... Xu Qi ‘an’s scalp was numb as he cursed in his heart.

Lu continued to send messages. but The Earth Book is one. We can still see your communication with number nine through the earth Book. I’m very helpless. Until you dripped your blood on it and established a connection with me. ”

[ 3: what should I do? ]

[ Lu: I hope you can return the Book of the Netherworld fragments to the Heaven and Earth Society. If you’re still worried, I’ll give you an address and you can have someone deliver it there. ]

Then, my five hundred gold taels ... Xu Qi ‘an stared at the mirror and didn’t reply.

He did not believe in anyone!

Lu might not be a good person. He might be trying to trick me.

‘If I’m that easy to fool, I wouldn’t have studied at the police academy in vain ...’ Xu Qi ‘an replied, [ three: the Book of the Earth is a treasure of the Tiandi society. Number nine is a member of the earth sect. Does the earth sect covet the Book of the Earth? ]

According to the night watchman’s internal records, the nether world Book was a treasure of the earth sect, while the heaven and earth Association was just an organization of the pugilistic world.

However, Lu had just said that The Earth Book belonged to the Heaven and Earth Society, and the earth sect coveted it.

If Lu couldn’t give a reasonable explanation, Xu Qi ‘an would block him.

[ Lu: The Earth Book is the treasure of the earth sect, but that was in the past. It now belongs to the heaven and earth Association. [ on the other hand, the heaven and earth Association is formed by a portion of the earth sect’s members. ]

[ 3: what makes you say that? ]

[ Lu: this matter involves a secret of the earth sect. I’m not a member of the earth sect, so it’s not convenient for me to disclose it. ]

[ 3: I understand. Leave me your address. ]

[ Lu: yangshui Street in the inner city. A loquat tree is planted in the courtyard of a house opposite the Zhang’s silk shop. ]

Xu Qi ‘an had completely calmed down by now. He took a sip of the tea that was gradually losing its temperature and tapped the table with his fingertips.

At present, he had three choices in front of him:

One, acknowledge Lu and send the mirror back. He could hire someone to do it. He didn’t need to consider Lu’s identity and wasn’t afraid of being locked on by nine. He had escaped from this.

Two, the disadvantage of trading with number nine was that one might face the danger of being backstabbed. The good thing was that if he gambled correctly, he would get five hundred gold taels.

Third, hand over The Earth Book to the night watchman in exchange for merit points.

If I was still the fast-handed person from the Changle County government, I would definitely choose the first method, which is to be more stable.

‘But I’m the night watchman now. In the capital of Da Feng, no matter how powerful the external forces are, the Dragon has to coil and the Tiger has to lie down ...’ No, they did not even dare to enter the city.

I’ve just joined as a night watchman, and I don’t have any contributions or resources. I can use The Earth Book to exchange for a bright future.

The Yamen would be more than happy to accept such an ancient treasure, and Wei Yuan, the eunuch, would definitely not stand by and do nothing.

After making up his mind, Xu Qi ‘an returned the book and took back his waist token from the clerk in charge of the warehouse. Then, he left the warehouse in a hurry.

In an empty corner, he took out the item inside the Jade Mirror. Military crossbow, bone-corroding poison, heart-protecting mirror, and the 400 taels of silver returned by brother spring.

After carrying these things, he came to the highest building of the night watchman’s Yamen.Noble Qi building.

The guards downstairs stopped him.

Xu Qi ‘an took off his waist token and said in a deep voice, ” quickly report to Lord Wei. Xu Qi ‘an has an important matter to report.

The guard took the waist token, confirmed it, and examined him. “Why don’t you look for your direct subordinate, Yin Gong?”

...

“Yin Luo is not here. The situation is urgent. Go quickly.” Xu Qi ‘an was even tougher than him.

He didn’t plan to let Li Yuchun know about this. To be more precise, he didn’t plan to let more people know.

Whether it was the Tiandi gathering or the Dao sect or the earth sect, they were all great powers.

They might not dare to take revenge on the night watchman, but Xu Qi ‘an had a family. historical

This was something he had understood since he was a police officer in his previous life.

Xu Qi ‘an had to erase his traces on this matter and make the heaven and earth Association and the earth sect ignore him.

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them hurriedly entered the building.

A few minutes later, the guard returned and said, “”Go in. Lord Wei is waiting for you on the seventh floor.”

Xu Qi ‘an heaved a sigh of relief. The fact that the powerful eunuch was willing to meet him meant that his plan was half-successful.

He immediately entered the building and quickly climbed up the stairs to the seventh floor.

A black-robed clerk was already waiting at the foot of the stairs. He led him through the long corridor and into a tea room.

...

There was no one in the tea room, and in the observation Hall that was connected to it, there was a man in green.

“What’s the matter?” Wei Yuan turned around and asked gently.

His facial features were handsome, his temperament was elegant, his sideburns were white, and his eyes were filled with unspeakable vicissitudes of life.

He didn’t look like a eunuch, but a scholar.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t dare to look at him directly. He lowered his head slightly.”This humble servant greets Lord Wei. This humble servant has made a great discovery and is here to report.”

As he spoke, he took out a small Jade Mirror from his pocket, raised it high with both hands, and said in a deep voice, ”

“This is the book of the nether world, the most precious treasure of the earth sect.”

The Earth Book ... Wei Yuan stared at the mirror, “”How did you get it?”

Xu Qi ‘an did not hide anything. He told the chief eunuch how he got the mirror, how he received the information, and what happened in the document library.

There was no need for him to hide it. He had obtained the mirror before he joined the night watchman, so it was his private possession.

It was the same for those who joined the night watchman and obtained the mirror.

Wei Yuan would not have a negative impression of him because of this.

“Five hundred taels of gold?” the green-robed eunuch asked with a faint smile.

.... Big brother, aren’t you focusing on something a little strange? “I’m just seeking benefits within a reasonable range,” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.

Wei Yuan smiled gently and looked at the mirror again. A line of words appeared on the mirror.

[ Jiu: have you considered it? when are you going to make the deal? ]

The chief eunuch’s lips curled up. He tossed the mirror to Xu Qi ‘an.”The mirror has already been bound by blood. Only you can reply to him. Tell him that the transaction location is in the inner city’s guiyue tower, between Luan Feng and Ming ya. The time will be in two hours.”

Xu Qi ‘an immediately replied in the mirror.

[ Jiu: good! ]

Wei Yuan said, ” you didn’t reveal your identity or address. You’ve done well. Go down. Someone will take care of this.

Then, my five hundred gold taels ... Ah, no, merit points ... Xu Qi ‘an asked in his heart.

“Yes!” He cupped his fists and said.

He didn’t take the mirror with him and left the tea room.

After leaving the noble spirit Pavilion, Xu Qi ‘an’s mood was very complicated. He felt relaxed as if he had thrown away a hot potato, but he also felt the pain of losing a precious treasure and five hundred taels of gold.

As for his merits, although the eunuch did not mention it, Xu Qi ‘an could understand his status.

As a Big Shot, it would be too degrading to discuss the issue of ‘merit points’ with a small gong like him.

In any case, he wouldn’t mistreat me ... Xu Qi ‘an left the Yamen with heartache. He planned to go to the brothel to listen to a tune and soothe his mood.
