The table was filled with food and wine, but no one seemed to have much appetite, except for Camouflage.

He ate with great interest, chewing carefully on each mouthful of food, but he no longer drank!

"I say, why are you eating so delicious? Do you think that tonight's matter is of the slightest bit of concern to you? " Lei Hu had been staring at Luo Qiu Shui for a long time.

"Such a good dish, it would be a waste if we don't eat it!" Here, eat this quickly? " Luo Qiu Shui raised his chopsticks to signal everyone to move their chopsticks.

"Young master, I can't eat it. The truth is too sudden tonight!" Autumn Moon said.

"I can't eat it either. Just thinking of that face makes me feel disgusted!" Spring Flower said.

"Stop thinking about it. Eating is more important! Besides, if we don't have enough to eat, how will we have the strength to think about it? " Luo Qiu Shui laughed.

"That's all I appreciate about you! Any major event is nothing in your eyes! Come come come, let's eat! " As Lei Hu spoke, he first poured himself a cup of wine, then drank it all in one gulp, "Good wine!"

Camouflage's brow creased slightly, and the piece of beef from his chopsticks fell onto the table.

"Young master, what's wrong?" Qiu Yue hurriedly asked.

"Nothing, I felt a bit itchy on my back just now. When I got nervous, my hands loosened up." Luo Qiu Shui picked up another piece of beef from the plate, "This beef tastes pretty good, you all can try it!"

"Young Master," Spring Flower took the jug of wine and poured a cup for Luo Qiu, "Good dishes should not be lacking wine. I'll fill your cup to the brim!"

As Spring Flower spoke to here, she glanced at Lei Hu, "I'm not like some people who only care about themselves and don't care about others!"

"Me again?" Lei Hu glared at Spring Flower, "That's my brother, I'm not polite with him!"

"A free master, I've never seen you so impolite!" The corner of Spring Flower's mouth curled up as he said.

"Do you still want to go out? Or do you want to stop talking in the future? " Luo Qiu Shui looked coldly at the spring flowers. Although his eyes were filled with an indescribable tenderness, that kind of coldness caused the spring flowers to involuntarily shudder!

"I, this servant dare not do it again!" As Spring Flower spoke, she was already kneeling on the ground.

"Big brother Lei once helped me when I was in a difficult situation. Anyone who disrespects him is making an enemy out of me, Luo Qiu Shui!" Luo Qiu Shui put down the chopsticks in her hands, and glanced at Spring Flower and Autumn Moon. "I hope you two will remember this! The next time, I won't remind you! "

"This servant will remember!" Spring Flower and Autumn Moon said in unison.

"Ai, what are you doing? See how you scared this little girl! " Lei Hu hurriedly stood up, walked over and helped Spring Flower up, "Don't listen to him bluffing! With me, Thunder Tiger, he will not do anything to you! "

Spring Flower glanced at Thunder Tiger timidly, but did not dare to stand up.

"Hurry up and say something!" Lei Hu glared at Luo Qiu Shui.

"Why aren't you getting up? Waiting for me to help you? " Luo Qiu Shui coldly glanced at Spring Flower.

"Thank you, Young Noble! "Thank you, Grandpa Lei!" Spring Flower trembled as she stood up.

"Alright, everyone is happy! Come, let's eat! " Lei Hu was overjoyed. He raised his chopsticks and made a gesture of 'please'.

Luo Qiu Shui picked up his chopsticks, and then Spring Flower and Autumn Moon hurriedly picked up their chopsticks as well, an indescribable tacit understanding!

Lei Hu casually ate a few pieces of vegetables and went to look for a wine jug on the table. This time, however, he saw Spring Flower take the initiative to pour him a cup.

Luo Qiu Shui looked at Lei Hu again, and then put down the chopsticks in his hands. His slim hands were placed at his waist – his famous throwing knife was there!

"Why aren't you eating anymore?" Lei Hu advised.

"I'm full. You guys take your time and eat! " Luo Qiu Shui laughed.

Lei Hu stretched out his hand and tore off a chicken leg, "Then I won't be polite!"

He had only taken two bites when he felt dizzy. He could not help but curse, "Damn it! What wine is this? I just drank two cups and I fainted! "

As he said this, his head fell on the table.

Spring Flower and Autumn Moon rushed vigilantly towards the door and window. Spring Flower pulled out a short sword from his sleeve and held it horizontally in front of his chest. Autumn Moon then took out a pair of silver rings and held them horizontally in front of her.

Luo Qiu Shui gave a faint smile. "Friend!" I have wine and vegetables here, would you like to come in and have some? "

There was no sound, no movement, no response!

The sudden deathly silence caused everyone to feel disgusted. Everyone maintained their stiff bodies, as if they were still. However, their hearts were carefully listening for any activity outside the room!

The oil lamp on the table flickered. Everything else on the table seemed dead!

"Friend, do you want me to go out and invite you in?" Luo Qiu Shui finally broke the silence.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door!

"Come in!" Autumn Moon took a cautious step back and stared at the door.

The door opened and a shop assistant peeped in. He was dressed in simple and crude clothes, and held a pot of tea in his hand. When he saw Qiu Yue's nervous expression, he could not help but be puzzled. "Miss, what are you doing?"

"Who was outside just now? Is it you? "Speak!" Qiu Yue asked.

"I was just passing by. I didn't see anyone there?" The shop assistant thought for a long time, then turned around and looked around, but didn't find anything strange, so he could only answer honestly.

"What are you doing here?" The Spring Flower slowly walked over from the window. Although she had put away her dagger, her vigilance had not weakened.

"I'm here to bring the guests some tea!" The shop assistant raised the plate in front of her chest, "If you don't want it, I will immediately withdraw!"

"Of course, put it down!" Luo Qiu Shui stood up from the table. "Then I'll have to trouble you to clean up this place as well."

"Alright!" The shop assistant shouted and quickly walked over. He put down the cup of tea and started to clean up the leftovers from the wine on the table.

Luo Qiushui stood aside, quietly observing the shop assistant's every move. She only let out a long sigh of relief after he had left the room with a smile on his face.

"Young Master, do you think there's a problem with that shop assistant?" Spring Flower said.

"Not only is there a problem with him, there is also a huge problem!" Luo Qiu said.

"But I saw how skillful he was when he was a shop assistant! "Could it be …"

"That's right, he is Zhang Cheng who specializes in opening illegal shops in the martial arts world!" Luo Qiushui sat down at the table. "The only thing I don't understand is, he's always been active in Bazhou. Why did he come here this time?"

"Since he has a problem, why didn't the young master stop him just now?" Qiu Yue asked.

"Don't you want to see what tricks he'll come up with? I'm a very curious person, I want to see it! " Luo Qiu Shui laughed.

"Then what about Grandpa Lei?" Spring Flower said.

"He's only been drugged with other people's medicine. He'll be fine after a short rest." Luo Qiu said.

"So young master already knew that someone had tampered with the wine, that's why he didn't drink a single mouthful." Qiu Yue laughed.

"What I don't understand is, aren't those people too stupid? They only drugged the wine but not the food. If they did as well, wouldn't we all be mesmerized?" Spring Flower said.

"There are some in the food as well!" Luo Qiu Shui laughed.

"What?" Then why are we fine? " Qiu Yue was puzzled.

"That's because some of the dishes are there, while others are not." Luo Qiu Shui laughed.

"Oh, I get it now. No wonder young master was so careful when eating. He was trying to taste if there were any unclean things in the dish!" Spring Flower asked, seemingly enlightened.

Luo Qiu Shui smiled lightly, "Looks like this place is no longer safe. We have to leave this place immediately tomorrow!"

"Young master, who are they after? Why did he come here? Who are they? " Qiu Yue asked with a puzzled expression.

"I'm not sure about that either. However, I think things will get out of hand soon! " Luo Qiu Shui yawned, "If we are not in a hurry, they will be too!" Now, the most important thing is to get a good night's sleep! "

"Then what about Grandpa Lei?" Spring Flower pursed her lips.

"Carry him into the next room. Tonight, the two of you will take turns to stand guard outside his door. I think it will be very lively tonight! " Luo Qiu said.

"You want us to guard him? What about the young master? " Autumn Moon said.

"It doesn't matter, I slept soundly by myself." Camouflage said flatly.

"But once young master falls asleep, no one will wake him. What if someone goes in …" Spring Flower asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I won't be so dead tonight." Camel laughed.

Spring Flower and Autumn Moon did not speak anymore. Together, they supported Lei Hu to the room next door, put him on the bed properly, and went to stand guard outside the door.

"How about you guard the night before, while I guard the night after?" Spring Flower suggested.

"I alone will be enough to guard this place. It's better if you go to the Young Noble's side to guard it! As for him, I can't rest easy. " Autumn Moon said.

"But if the two of us don't rest, what if we don't make it to dawn?" Spring Flower was feeling somewhat troubled.

"Isn't it just one night? Just hold on for a bit longer and it will be over! " Autumn Moon said.

"You can do it, but I can't!" Spring Flower frowned. "I can't stay up late."

"Forget it, you should go to sleep first. The room between Young Master and Mister Lei isn't too far apart anyways. I'll take a closer look by myself." Autumn Moon said.

"Alright, then I'll go to sleep first?" Spring Flower laughed.

"Don't sleep so deeply. I'll wake you up in the middle of the night." Qiu Yue reminded.

Spring Flower was really sleepy. As soon as she walked into the room, she went straight for the bed. She was too lazy to take off her clothes and just lay there like that. She didn't even notice the person hiding under the bed!

It was early summer and the night was still a little cold, so Autumn Moon couldn't help but shiver.

She raised her head to look at the sky. A crescent moon was currently hiding behind the wutong tree, gazing over through the branches.

"The moon is so beautiful!" Qiu Yue couldn't help but praise.

At this moment, the moon suddenly disappeared. She only felt a flash in front of her eyes, and before she could even cry out, she had already collapsed limply onto the ground.

In the dim light, Autumn Moon could only hear the whistling of the wind beside her ears, but she could not wake up even after trying everything she could. All she felt was numbness in her limbs, and she could not muster up any strength.

It was unknown how long the wind had been blowing before it suddenly stopped. She only heard a very eerie voice say, "I've already brought this girl here. Come out!"

"Well done!"

The voice was deep and deep, accompanied by a gust of wind that suddenly approached!

"That's right, this is Autumn Moon!" But, what about the other one? " The low voice said.

"Boss Li, don't worry. This is coming. The other one will be here soon!" This voice sounded like a ghost, but at this moment, it was unexpectedly laughing sinisterly. It was indescribably terrifying!

"Enough, you don't have to laugh!" At night, you scared me out of my wits, so you can't afford to pay it! " The mysterious Boss Li said.

"Boss Li sure knows how to make fun of me!" "My work is done. Where is the silver?" Gui Three stretched out his right hand. His hand was thin and dry, just like his thin face. The joints of his fingers were very prominent. It looked like it had no skin and no flesh, making it look like a Demon Claw!

"Here is the three hundred taels of silver each. You can keep it for now. When the other one arrives, I'll give you the remaining three hundred taels as well!" Boss Li handed over a silver note. His hand was thick and big, giving off an indescribably thick feeling. From a glance, one could tell that he was a businessman.

Gui Three received the banknotes with a smile, "It looks like you're still worried about us! Alright, this is my first time working together, so I won't mind it! "Wait a minute, once people arrive, you'll understand our style!"

Boss Li took Qiu Yue from the hands of the three ghost heads, and after a casual glance, he pouted and said, "What a beautiful girl! "If we sell it to a brothel, we'll be rich!"

"Yeah, then how can such a beautiful girl be bought with three hundred taels?"

"Who is it?" "Come out quickly!" Boss Li was very alert as he turned his head around, a short knife appearing in his hand.

"Don't worry, my partner is here!" Gui Three said with a smile.

Boss Li's nervous system finally relaxed. "Be careful when driving a ship for ten thousand years! I've let you down! "

Just as Boss Li finished his sentence, a black figure had already appeared in front of him like a bolt of lightning!

The black shadow dropped a black cloth sack from its back, pointed at it and said, "I've already brought the person you wanted. Pay up!"

"Don't be in such a hurry, I need to see if this is what I want first!" Boss Li bent over and untied the black cloth bag. After taking a close look at Spring Flower's face, he smiled and said, "That's right, it's her!"

Boss Li was full of smiles as he stood up straight. He took out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it to the man in black. "This is the reward. Please accept it!"

The man in black took the banknotes, rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Boss Li also said that such a beautiful girl is definitely not worth three hundred taels of silver. Do you really intend to take them away from us with six hundred taels of silver?"

Boss Li's face suddenly darkened. "What? You want to go back on your promise when you agree on the price?"

"Fourth Elder, are you trying to ruin our reputation?" Gui Three said angrily.

"Ol 'Three, I didn't mean it that way. I just feel like we're taking such a small amount of risk. I'm really not willing to accept it!" The fourth brother's voice sounded a little sad.

"No matter what, we have our principles when doing things! "You better not break the rules of the Moon Tower!" Gui Three said coldly.

"But, tomorrow I'll have to pay him back a thousand silver. What do you want me to do?" The fourth brother said.

"If you have money, return it to me. If you don't have money, return it to me!" But no matter what, I cannot break the rules! " Gui Three stressed.

"So that's what happened!" Boss Li smiled and took out a silver note from his pocket. "Since Brother has some difficulties, I, Li, will naturally lend a helping hand! In any case, there will be many places that you can use the two of them in the future.

The fourth brother took the banknotes from Boss Li and turned to look at the third brother, "Third brother, five hundred taels of silver!"

"Give the money back!" Gui Three said angrily.

"Ghost third brother, don't tell me you're not giving me that much face?" Boss Li raised his hand and said, "This is not breaking your rules, but I want to make you two friends!"

"We never make friends! And we never had any friends! " Gui Three said coldly.

"I know, you only have eyes for your employer, but this time it's different. You two owe someone else money, and I just happen to have so much money that I don't have anywhere to spend. So, you two took my money to help me!" Boss Li laughed.

"Help you?" The fourth brother was confused.

"That's right!" Since you've helped me spend money, then I won't have to worry about too much money. Therefore, you didn't break the rules and instead did a good deed! " Boss Li touched his forehead with a smile.

"Strange things happen every day. There are so many of them tonight! There was actually such a thing in the world! Haha, even though others took your money, they still helped you! Hahahaha! That's strange! " The fourth brother laughed straightforwardly.

"Hahaha!" Who told you to meet a freak like me? "Hmm?" Boss Li laughed.

"Since that's the case, then let's return to doing good things today and help this rich boss of yours!" "Hahahaha!" Gui Three also laughed.

"It's getting late, let's get back to business!" The fourth brother laughed so hard that he didn't want to laugh anymore, "These two girls, do you want us to send you off?"

"No need, I'll call someone to come over later!" Boss Li cupped his hands and said, "You two, this way please!"

"Please!" The third and fourth brothers cupped their fists together and said.

"You stole someone else's maid, yet you still refuse to greet the master and want to leave? Isn't that too rude?"

"Who?" "Come out!" All three of them shouted at the same time!

"Coming out? Who's afraid of who?"

Just as he finished his sentence, a dashing figure appeared in front of the three of them like a bolt of lightning!
