C237 Grief Lu Baihuan

This letter was written by Gongsun Ze Tian told Qiong Yu to place the letter on Ma Qingyuan secretly, and the contents of the letter was personally written by Gongsun Ze Tian. The letter clearly stated the five hundred thousand silver taels matter, which also made Lu Baihuan extremely excited.

Five hundred thousand taels of silver. That pile was as high as a small mountain. It was truly comparable to a silver mountain. It was just that there was a hidden mark at the place where it was signed. Under the dim light of the night, Lu Baihuan did not care and only found that this letter did not have a title nor had a signature, and this letter was found on Ma Qingyuan's body. It should be a letter written by someone else. Money was the most important thing.

"Madam, please have a look!" Lu Baihuan was elated for a long time. When he realised that the person beside him looked at him as if he was an idiot, he immediately felt embarrassed and handed the letter over to his wife to look at.

"Brother Huan, this ? "So much silver!" Lu Baihuan's wife also borrowed the light of the torch to scan through the contents of the letter on the side.

"Yeah, we're rich now. As long as we get our hands on this silver, we'll be able to get anything we want." Lu Baihuan said excitedly.

"That's right, but Brother Huan, why didn't the person who killed him search his body, why didn't he find this letter? Could this be a trick? " Lu Baihuan's wife was also very excited, but he was still very nervous as he asked.

"Probably not, I think after he killed Ma Qingyuan, something happened to him and he was forced to leave, that's why he did not find the letter, it's just that ?" Lu Baihuan thought for a moment and said, but at the end, he subconsciously tightened his grip on the order badge.

"But what?" Lu Baihuan's wife asked curiously.

"This token!" Lu Baihuan raised the order badge in his hand, and said while shaking it in front of his wife's eyes.

"What happened to the token?" The lights were dim. In this kind of night, even if there were torches lit in the surroundings, if one didn't look carefully, they would be able to see clearly what the token looked like.

"This is a medallion of a Duke Palace guard, I just can't understand how it could appear on Ma Qingyuan's body." Lu Baihuan said as he shook his head doubtfully.

"This means that this Ma fellow is a guard of some mansion?" Lu Baihuan's wife asked in shock. If this Ma Qingyuan also had the background of the Duke Palaces, then things would really become troublesome.

"This is impossible, for one, Ma Qingyuan's techniques are not ordinary, even if he is a guard in the Palace, he would be able to serve as a captain. This order badge is only the personal badge of a normal guard, and for another, a dignified Tenth Elder like him would be more impressive than a small guard in the Palace. No one would choose to give up their position as an elder and become a guard!" Lu Baihuan muttered to himself for a moment and explained to his wife.

"Could it be that this is a special medallion from the Prince's Mansion, so he has to help me with something?" For example, is it related to this five hundred thousand silver taels? " Lu Baihuan's wife quickly added.

"It's unlikely. The imperial government's surveillance of the various Duke Palaces is especially tight. If five hundred thousand silver was shipped out of the Palace, it's likely that they would be seized before it could even leave the Imperial Capital. Besides, even if he was working for the Royal Residence, it should at least be an envoy token. How could it be the token of a guard? "From this point of view, it is impossible!" Lu Baihuan shook his head and denied it.

"So you're saying that five hundred thousand silver has nothing to do with the estate?" Lu Baihuan's wife suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart and could not help but ask.

"It's most likely not related to the Duke Palaces at all. This must be the Sword League's own funds, and their headquarters is at the north as well. It's very possible that they plundered it from somewhere and sent it to the northern headquarters. Because we have too much money, we have to transport it secretly. It seems like we have to take advantage of it! " Lu Baihuan also threw the matter of the order badge to the back of his mind and said blindly.

"But the letter mentioned killing that Master Cheng, surnamed Cheng? Could it be... " Lu Baihuan's wife recalled the contents of the letter and suddenly remembered that the letter mentioned that he had to think of a way to kill a Master Cheng.

"Yes, it's very possible that it's that old lady of yours. He's a big red man before the Valley Master, and he once killed a direct disciple of the Sword League's Alliance Master. The people of the Sword League must know that he is here, so it isn't strange for them to order him to be killed. Thinking about it, he reckoned that he would arrive at Fengyang City in two days. Do you want to think about staying and serve him well? " Lu Baihuan pondered for a moment, then understood the situation, and in the end, he even spoke to his wife with a sinister smile.

Lu Baihuan's wife first spat, then revealed an expression of indecision on her face. It seemed thathe was currently in an intense struggle within his heart, and after a long while, she slowly opened his mouth and said: "I, I will accompany my husband to get the five hundred thousand silver, wait ?. "When I come back ?" However, the more he spoke, the more his voice sounded like lines, pretending to be a shy little woman.

"You'll see him when you get back, won't you?" Lu Baihuan laughed even louder, and spoke out for his wife.

"Aiya, you're so bad!" Lu Baihuan's wife shyly and angrily hit his husband lightly, causing his father to say angrily. Hearing this, the people around them all felt goosebumps all over the ground.

"My place is even worse. Haven't you experienced it tonight?" Lu Baihuan shamelessly replied, while pointing at his own lower body.

"Brother Huan ?" I hate it! " Lu Baihuan's wife was really dissatisfied with their desire, as he stuck close by with a rosy face, yet his hand was grabbing towards Lu Baihuan's lower body. At the same time, a coquettish voice sounded beside Lu Baihuan's ears.

? ?.

Lu Baihuan's group did not stay there for long, nor did they care about Ma Qingyuan's corpse. They allowed his corpse to be exposed in the wilderness, and their top priority right now was to speed towards the north. If they stopped the group of people they were escorting earlier, they would be able to snatch the five hundred thousand silver taels earlier.

Therefore, Lu Baihuan immediately gave up on his idea of sending people to notify the other disciples in the city. Right now, he wanted to chase after them and fight against time and time again, in case he lost sight of the other party.

Just like this, Lu Baihuan brought his wife and his elite disciples and disappeared from the Fengyang City. However, Lu Baihuan did not know what path he had chosen would bring him!

Lu Baihuan felt that he was extremely lucky. When he led the group to chase north, he suddenly encountered a group of cavalrymen, because of the darkness of the night, he did not know the exact number of people, but for safety's sake, they changed to the small path, but when they arrived at the small forest path, they discovered a deep imprint of a carriage. It could really be said that 'no matter where one steps on the iron shoes, they would be able to find it effortlessly'.

But if he continued to chase after him along this road, Lu Baihuan felt that he would simply be 'dumb to the point of suffering unspeakably,' he even felt that he had become a unlucky ghost. At the same time, Lu Baihuan was also confused. Although the mountain paths usually did not have many people walking on it, it was still a human path. Why would there be many things that should not have appeared on this road?

Who asked Lu Baihuan to bring his men to walk along the road that the guards of the Duke Palaces had to walk through again? He even had to travel through the night in order to catch up with the troops that were escorting him. He deserved his bad luck.

Lu Baihuan had practically experienced all kinds of hidden traps and weapons, and even the traps and weapons that he had not successfully triggered before, had been touched by him to perfection.

However, when he thought about how there were actually bamboo sticks, pits, boulders, and rolling wood in this place, he felt that it was somewhat comforting to see the floor covered with thorns and iron nails.

Fortunately, they had fewer people and were able to easily avoid the sharp objects on the ground with their movement techniques. Of course, their appearances were a lot funnier, like monkeys jumping up and down.

The thing that Lu Baihuan could not understand the most was that, even if there was a group of snakes that filled the mountains, what kind of vast space or region would there be in the vast and endless mountain range? Why must they be concentrated on this path?

At this moment, Lu Baihuan and the others were looking at a sea of snakes, whether it was the trees or the ground, they could see snakes spitting out cores everywhere. Sometimes they would wriggle and crawl, sometimes they would lazily curl up, and there were even some snakes that were about the same size as each other.

"This... This ? How is that possible? " Lu Baihuan was confused.

"Brother Huan, why are there so many snakes? Where did they all come from?" Lu Baihuan's wife who was at the side said while trembling.

"Look, that seems to be a camp over there!" It was unknown which disciple spoke out.

"Camp?" When everyone heard the word 'camp', their line of sight shifted to the center of the snake horde. They did see some traces of bonfires and some simple tents, but those tents were full of snakes. As the camp faced the north, one could faintly see the traces of fire and deep ruts. It seemed that the group of people had passed through these snakes, but not a single corpse could be seen. Most likely, these snakes didn't do much damage to them.

"Brother Huan, what should we do now?" Lu Baihuan's wife asked softly, afraid that the louder she shouted, the more he would attract the attention of the group of snakes, so the only choice they had was to run away with their legs crossed.

"We can only take a detour. With so many snakes, unless we fly over, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass through this path!" Lu Baihuan observed his surroundings with his eyes, and said while shaking his head helplessly.

"Will we lose them?" Lu Baihuan's wife asked worriedly.

"I don't think so. As long as we don't deviate too much from the general direction, we should be able to meet up with them!" Lu Baihuan consoled her, but he did not have much confidence in this point. He was afraid that he would be tormented, so he did not mind each of them being injured.

"Okay, then I'll listen to Brother Huan's arrangements!" Lu Baihuan's wife didn't have any ideas, he only needed to listen to her husband's arrangements. Furthermore, she was really afraid of walking down the snake path, it was simply too frightening.

"Let's go!" With this order, everyone headed towards the dense forest in the northeast. However, what they did not know was that this place was filled with all the snakes within a hundred miles of radius, and how could they possibly avoid it by just a small detour? And this detour caused them to have to waste an entire day, and finally, they finally arrived at a cliff, and took some time to head west. At the very least, they had to return to that small road, and if they were to lose that clue, they might not have any chance of reaching these five hundred thousand.
