Chapter 453 Hey, It's You!
After leaving the dark hut and walking in the dark alley, Lu Shengzhong cast a spell to dispel the alcohol in his body, expelling a strong smell of alcohol.
As he walked, he tore off a mask on his face, and there was another layer underneath. The jacket on his body was also taken off, and there was another colored jacket inside, and the one he took off was just thrown into the stinky ditch passing by, without caring.
As long as he walked out of here, Chao Shenghai would not be able to figure out who he was. When the incident happened, even if Wanshoumen searched it himself, it would be impossible to find him out of so many people in the entire Vientiane City.
As for whether Chao Shenghuai will succeed, that's not what he's worried about. It's best if he can succeed. It's also good if he can't make Niu Youdao and Wanshoumen clash. He can also give Shao Pingbo an explanation to prove that he has tried his best.
After going around for a while, I walked to another alley exit and stopped for a while, and only turned out when I confirmed that no one was passing by outside.
Walking on the dark streets, crossing half of Vientiane City, and returning to the house I rented, when I opened the door, I took off the sign hanging on the door, and the sign said "For Rent".
This sign was put up by himself, yes, the house he rented himself was going to be rented out again.
Of course, this was just his previous plan. In order to find a suitable target, after finding the target of Chao Shenghai, he no longer plans to hang up this sign.
When he pushed the door and entered, a question came from behind him, "My friend, how much is this house rented for a day?"
Lu Shengzhong looked back and saw a thin man in black standing beside the road, and he replied, "One hundred gold coins a day!"
In fact, when he rented it, the original owner only asked for ten gold coins a day.
Ten gold coins a day is considered a sky-high price, but the market is like this, the Vientiane City is usually deserted, and only a large number of people gather during the spirit beast meeting. Every spirit beast meeting is a good time for the people of Vientiane City to make a fortune. No one will miss it.
Of course, under normal circumstances, an ordinary house costs less than ten gold coins a day, but the location of this house is indeed elegant and quiet. Although the house is not big, the internal environment layout is not bad, which is why the rent is so high.
He didn't want to speculate at this time to earn the price difference. The reason for subletting this nice house on purpose is also very simple. People who are willing to pay 100 gold coins a day for renting will not be simple people, they should have considerable strength to give Niu Youdao caused trouble there.
Looking around for a target to take the initiative to come to the door to leak information is risky and easy to arouse suspicion. As a landlord, accidentally leaking information is much simpler and safer.
As for whether such subletting will make the original landlord unhappy, there is no need to worry at all. What to do with it after I rent it is my business, and it will not occupy your house, nor will it destroy your house. It's not a mistake to go.
The only worry is whether it can be rented out.
"Okay!" The man in black smiled and nodded, "One hundred is one hundred."
Hearing this, Lu Shengzhong turned around seriously and looked at the other party carefully. He just had the idea of trying it out, but he didn't expect that there would be a rich man to rent it.
He didn't mind adding another trouble to Niu Youdao.
Lu Shengzhong stood by the door and made a gesture of extending his hand to invite.
But the man in black turned around and beckoned. There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and there was a white figure coming towards him.
Gradually, the white trace became clear. It was a woman in white clothes like snow, with a white gauze scarf half covering her face. Four riders followed the woman, one horse was empty, and the other three riders were also dressed in black, just like the man in front of her.
The four riders stopped at the door, and under the light of the lantern in front of the door, the woman in white with picturesque eyebrows and half-hidden face looked coldly at the gate of the house, and then led a few people to get off the horse.
After Lu Shengzhong led a few people in, he first took them to see the environment of the house.
A few moon butterflies were shining brightly. At the beginning of the inspection, the woman in white asked indifferently, "I don't know your name?"
Lu Shengzhong replied: "Zhu Jiang!"
He answered the name of the original landlord, and it was impossible to report his own name.
After going around the whole house, the woman in white had no objection, and the subordinates drew up a contract on her behalf, and prepared to pay for the delivery on the spot.
Glancing at the man in black who drew up the contract, Lu Shengzhong asked with a smile, "How many people do I see, are they here to make a fortune in Vientiane City?"
The thin man who was the leader of the four men in black asked with a smile, "How can you see that?"
Lu Shengzhong said with a chuckle: "It's normal for visitors from outside to sell strange birds and beasts to our Wanshoumen. Many people make a fortune from it. Just now I heard an interesting thing. The T-sized room on the second floor of the Tianyun Inn in the city is There is a bear demon."
"Fun?" The thin man wondered, "Does the bear demon have anything to do with fun?"
Lu Shengzhong: "I heard that it is not an ordinary bear demon, but the Golden King Bear from "Alien Beasts". It is said that he was cheated by his colleagues. The bear demon is also pitiful. He didn't even know he was tricked. But I'm afraid that group of people may not be able to succeed. The guests who really have a background must have been invited by our Wanshoumen to live in another courtyard on the mountain. How can they live in Vientiane City, let alone an ordinary inn. How can I Knowing this news, it is inevitable that no one will make a plan to intervene, after all, the Wanshoumen will have at least a million gold coins starting price! Such a windfall, it is normal for people to be tempted."
He was implying that Niu Youdao had no strength on that side, so he could go for it with confidence.
The thin man glanced at the woman in white and saw that she was also listening, so he said again: "On the territory of the Wanshoumen, who else can win the Wanshoumen?"
Lu Shengzhong waved his hand and said: "Our Wanshou Sect can't do such a thing, we really want to do this, once the reputation is ruined, who will dare to send strange birds and beasts to the door in the future?"
The contract was drawn up, Lu Shengzhong read it, confirmed it was correct, received the money, and both parties pledged it, the contract relationship was concluded.
Pretending to be the landlord and owner, after explaining a few precautions, he asked the guests to rest early, and Lu Shengzhong left.
He didn't plan to come back after leaving, and he wouldn't ask for the deposit given to the landlord again.
The thin man sent Lu Shengzhong out of the door, and when he came back after closing the door, he saw a woman in white standing under the eaves looking up at the bright moon, cupped her hands and said, "Mountain Lord, rest early."
The woman in white said slowly, "He's not Zhu Jiang!"
The thin man was surprised, "How can the owner of the mountain determine that he is not?"
The woman in white did not explain the reason, "There is something strange about this, go and watch it with two people."
The thin man didn't want to ask too many questions, so he waved his hand to beckon one person, and the two left quickly.
The woman in white stepped down the steps, walking gracefully under the moonlight, looking at the yard, with the confusion of thinking about the past in her eyes.
Ask her why she knew that the man was not Zhu Jiang, because she knew Zhu Jiang's ancestors.
Zhu Jiang's ancestor was Zhu Chicheng, the former head of Wanshoumen, and she was Zhu Chicheng's spiritual pet back then, and Zhu Chicheng was her master.
That was more than a hundred years ago, when Zhu Chicheng explored the "Butterfly Fantasy Realm" and never returned, and did not come out until the Butterfly Dream Realm was closed. When the Butterfly Dream Realm was opened again, Wanshoumen sent a large number of people to search, and they lost troops and generals, but Zhu Chicheng was not found.
It is impossible for the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to remain without a head, and someone will replace it later, but she was very unhappy when she was still a little girl, and made a lot of trouble, and she didn't understand the mood of her successor. For Zhu Chicheng's sake, although he didn't do anything to her, he expelled her from the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate.
Later, when she grew up and had a successful cultivation, every time the Butterfly Dream Realm opened, she would come to search for it just like today.
As for Zhu Chicheng's descendants, it is obviously impossible to have the splendor of Zhu Chicheng's reign, and every time she comes, she will quietly give alms, give some money and so on. It's the same this time, that's why she would stay here even with a hundred gold coins a day, how could she not know the current landlord, Zhu Jiang?
I don't know how long I have been recalling the past under the moon, but the moon is gradually slanting.
The thin man came back under the moonlight, and when he saw him, he immediately cupped his hands and reported: "Shanzhu, there is indeed something wrong with that 'Zhu Jiang'. He changed his whereabouts and appearance one after another, and finally stayed in an inn, with his beard staring over there. Do you want to take it?" gone?"
The woman in white said coldly: "Do you want to cause trouble for yourself? Is Vientiane City a place where you can do anything casually? If you haven't figured things out, can you act blindly? Just watch the situation first and then talk."
The thin man hurriedly responded, "Yes!"
The woman in white said, "He deliberately mentioned that Jin Wangxiong seems to have other motives, you go to find out the situation, and be aware of the situation first, in case of accidents."
...
Early in the morning, Guan Fangyi opened the door and came in. Niu Youdao was cleaning his face with a wet towel.
Guan Fangyi stroked her skirt, sat on a chair beside her and looked at it with her legs crossed.
The wet towel was thrown back into the basin, and Yuanfang took the basin out.
After checking his own image in the mirror, Niu Youdao asked, "Has Shang Qingzong not come yet?"
Guan Fangyi, "No!"
Niu Youdao sneered, "It seems that Elder Tang is very stubborn and unwilling to give in, hehe, it's better to die than surrender."
He reckoned that it was Tang Yi and the others who hadn't been able to persuade Tang Susu, otherwise they should have come to him long ago.
"A big man looks in the mirror endlessly, like a woman, I can't stand it."
"Misunderstood, I can't comb my hair well."
Guan Fangyi let go of her legs, got up and walked over again, "A notice has been posted in the city, Wanshoumen Gate to watch the stars at night, and it is confirmed that the Butterfly Dream Realm will open in the late afternoon. Do you really want to go in and have a look?"
After confirming that the bun was straight, Niu Youdao straightened up from the mirror, and said with a smile, "I missed this opportunity, and I have to wait until the next ten years. Come here, why don't you see it by the way."
The so-called Butterfly Dream Realm is said to have been the palace of Emperor Shang Song of the Wu Dynasty a long time ago. After Shang Song disappeared and before Empress Wu Lige disappeared, a large formation was used to block the Butterfly Dream Realm. Perhaps there is one thing that Li Ge didn't expect. During the solar eclipse once every ten years, under the influence of the power of the star array, there will be holes in the blockade formation, and the entrance to the Butterfly Dream Realm will be opened for three days.
The entrance is within the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, and the spirit beast meeting will be held during this period, which can be regarded as a way for the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate to entertain guests from all over the world, so as to open the eyes of all visitors.
"Who is sneaking around?"
Yuan Gang's shout suddenly came from outside.
Niu Youdao frowned and gave Guan Fangyi a wink.
At this moment, Yuanfang's voice came again, "Hey, it's you!"
Niu Youdao immediately turned around after hearing this, and went out to see what happened, to see who Yuan Fang knew.
In the corridor outside, a thin man was stopped by Yuan Gang, and he was staring at Yuan Fang who appeared behind him with big eyes.
Yuan Fang couldn't seem to remember the other party's name, he patted his forehead and said in a daze, "Who are you from crossing Yunshan, blocking the way and robbing us?"
