[Lu: don't believe No. 9, don't respond, don't respond, don't respond...]

in the quiet reception hall, Xu Qi'an stares at this sentence, with a cold sweat on his back.

Unspeakable fear pervaded my heart.

He took a sip of tea in a trance. He was in a daze for a moment and broke away from the strange fear.

This "Lu Hao" should be the light spot I just lit... What does he mean by this? No. 9 is lying to me?

If number nine lied to me, why? Since Lu Hao knew that No. 9 cheated me, why didn't he tell me earlier?

If nine is not credible, land is also questionable.

I don't believe anyone.

Xu Qi'an takes a deep breath, uses his finger as a proxy, and inputs the following information:

[3: who are you? Why can't nine be trusted. You're from heaven and earth, right. 】

[Lu: Yes. 】Xu Qian was silent for a few seconds and wrote:

[3: what do you mean by what you just said. 】

Lu jiuzong is a group of cruel people. You must not have contact with them for fear of life. 】

[3: how do you know that I am connected with number nine? 】

Xu Qi'an raised doubts.

[Lu: fragment 3 has been banned by dizong people, which has cut off the ability to communicate with us, and dizong people can lock fragment 3 through fragment 9.

[that's why Taoist Jinlian gives up the fragments and gives them to you. 】

... That is to say, even if I don't trade with No. 9, he can lock me through No. 9?

No wonder he didn't rush to urge me to return to the original owner, but also gave me the initiative to choose the location.

No wonder yesterday, when I asked No. 9 whether the people of the heaven and earth society could borrow the "book of earth" to lock my position, he changed the topic... Xu Qi'an recalled more details.

No matter how I choose, he is sure to make a profit. If I choose to trade, he can eat black and kill me. I don't choose to trade, he can delay until he locks me in.

Shit... Xu Qi'an's scalp is numb, and he is rude in his heart.

Lu continued to send a message: "but the book is one, we can still see through the book you and nine exchanges, extremely helpless. Until you have established a connection with me

What should I do? 】

[Lu: I hope you can return the fragments of the book to the heaven and Earth Society. If you are not at ease, I will give you an address where you can send them. 】

then Lao Tzu's five hundred taels of gold... Xu Qi'an stared at the mirror and didn't reply.

He doesn't believe anyone!

Lu may not be a good man. He may be playing against me.

Xu Qi'an replied: "the book of the earth is the treasure of heaven and Earth Society. No. 9 is the person of dizong. Dizong covets the book of the earth? 】

according to the internal records of the watchman, the book of earth is the treasure of daomen and dizong, while the heaven earth association is just an organization of the rivers and lakes.

But just now, Lu Hao said that the earth book is a thing of heaven and earth society, and the earth clan covets it.

If Lu could not give a reasonable explanation, Xu Qian would pull him black.

Lu: the book of the earth is a treasure of dizong, but it used to be. Now it belongs to the society of heaven and earth. The heaven and Earth Society was established by some local sect members. 】

[part three: why. 】

[Lu: it involves a secret of dizong. I'm not a member of dizong and it's not convenient for me to disclose it. 】I see. Please leave an address. 】

[Lu: a loquat tree was planted in the house opposite to Zhang's silk shop on Yangshui street in inner city. 】

at this time, Xu Qi'an had completely recovered his calm, took a sip of the tea which gradually lost its temperature, and gently pressed his fingertips on the table.

At present, there are three choices in front of him:

first, to recognize the Land Rover and send the mirror back, he can pay someone to send it back. We don't have to consider the identity of the Lu and we are not afraid of the lock-in of the nine. From then on.

2、 The disadvantage of trading with No. 9 is that it may face the danger of black eating black. The advantage is that once you bet right, you can get five hundred taels of gold.

3、 Give the book to the watchman in exchange for meritorious service.

if I were a little fast runner of Kwai Ya in Changle, I would definitely choose the first method to stabilize.

But Lao Tzu is now a watchman. In Dafeng capital, no matter how powerful the foreign forces are, the dragon can control them, the tiger can lie down... No, they dare not even enter the city.

I've just joined the watchman. I have no credit and resources. I can exchange my land book for a bright future.

The Yamen must be happy to accept this ancient treasure, and the great eunuch Wei Yuan would never stand by.

Making up his mind, Xu Qi'an returned the pamphlet, took back his waist tag from the official who was in charge of the document library, and left the warehouse in a flurry.

In an empty corner, he took out the items inside the jade mirror: the crossbow, the bone etching poison, the heart protecting mirror, and the four hundred taels of silver bills returned by Chunge.Chuai these things, he came to the highest building of the Dagens yamen: Haoqi building.

The guard at the bottom of the building stopped him.

Xu Qi'an took off his waist token and said in a deep voice, "report to Duke Wei quickly. Xu Qi'an of Causeway has a major event to report."

The guard took the waist token, confirmed that it was correct, and looked at him: "why don't you look for the direct subordinate silver Gong?"

"Silver Gong is not here. It's urgent. Go quickly." Xu Qi'an is stronger than him.

He didn't plan to let Li Yuchun know about it. To be exact, he didn't plan to let more people know about it.

Heaven and earth, Taoism and dizong are all powerful forces.

They may not dare to retaliate against the watchmen, but Xu Qian has a family.

This is the truth he knew when he was a policeman in his last life.

Xu Qi'an must play down his traces in this matter and let the people of heaven and Earth Society and dizong ignore him.

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them rushed into the building.

A few minutes later, the guard returned and said, "go in. Duke Wei is waiting for you on the seventh floor."

Xu Qi'an was relieved. The powerful eunuch was willing to advise him that the plan was half successful.

He entered the building immediately, and quickly crossed the stairs to the seventh floor.

At the end of the stairs, there was an official in black waiting, leading him through the corridor to a teahouse.

The tea room was empty, and the observation hall, which was connected with it, was dressed in green.

Wei Yuan turned his head and said gently, "what's the matter?"

His features are clear and handsome, his temperament is elegant, his temples are frosty white, and his eyes are full of unspeakable vicissitudes.

Not a eunuch, but a scholar.

Xu Qi'an did not dare to look directly at him. He bowed his head slightly: "I'm here to join the Duke of Wei. I've made a great discovery. I'm here to report it."

Then he took out the jade mirror from his arms, raised his hands high, and said in a deep voice:

"this is the book of the earth, the treasure of daomen and dizong."

The book... Wei Yuan Leng Leng, staring at the small mirror: "how do you get it."

Xu Qi'an did not hide, but told the eunuch how to get the mirror, how to receive information, and what happened in the document library.

He didn't have to hide. The mirror was obtained before he joined the watchman. It was his private property.

And even if you get a mirror after you join the watchman, it's the same thing.

Wei Yuan will not have a negative impression on him.

The eunuch in Qingyi said with a smile: "five hundred taels of gold?"

... boss, are you paying attention to something strange? Xu Qian said with a smile: "villains are only seeking interests within a reasonable range."

Wei Yuan smiles mildly, and his eyes fall on the mirror again. At this time, a line appears in the mirror:

[IX: have you thought about it, when to trade. 】

the big eunuch picked the corner of his mouth and threw the mirror to Xu Qi'an: "the mirror has been dripping blood to recognize the Lord. Only you can reply and tell him that the trading place is in guiyuelou, luanfeng and Mingya. The time is after an hour. "

Xu Qi'an immediately replied in the mirror.

Good! 】

Wei Yuan said: "you didn't reveal your identity and address. You're coping well. Go on. Someone will do it."

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

Did not dare to say export, Baoquan way: "yes!"

He left the teahouse without the mirror.

Out of Haoqi building, Xu Qi'an's mood is very complicated. He has the ease of letting go of the hot potato, the heartache of losing the treasure and five hundred taels of gold.

As for meritorious service, although the great eunuch did not mention it, Xu Qi'an was considerate of others.

It seems too cheap to discuss the issue of "meritorious service" with a small Causeway.

Anyway, I don't think he will treat me badly. Xu Qi'an left the watchman's Yamen, intending to go to GouLan to listen to the ditty and comfort his mood.
