Chapter 63 Follow-up Actions

At Yuelai Inn, Lu Xiao looked at the corpse in front of him and felt his face hurt a little, and his expression was a little embarrassed. After all, not long ago, he had just expressed his disdain for Tianji Pavilion very dissatisfied, but just a few hours later, he was slapped hard by reality.

But the other Jinyiwei in Yuelai Inn did not dare to show any ridiculous expressions to Lu Xiao on his face. It was not because he was afraid that Lu Xiao was their boss, but because they were also the one who was slapped in the face in this matter. In fact, if it weren't for Lu Xiao's last order, they might have really missed it tonight.

"Hmph! Dongchang, last time I taught them such a big lesson, they actually dared to come to our territory so unscrupulously to cause trouble. Are you really not afraid of death?" After losing such a great face, Lu Xiao was angry and could only vent his luck at the unlucky Dongchang. He didn't know that He Er was already a dead person in the records of Dongchang, and this time it was just a revenge before He Er's death. Unfortunately, He Er was already dead, and Lu Xiao was destined to be unable to know the truth.

"Hundred households, my subordinates think that this matter should not be a big deal." Although Zhao Qing, who was standing beside him, was not as angry as Lu Xiao. He was not as angry as Lu Xiao. He was not a newcomer who joined the Jinyiwei after the new emperor ascended the throne. He had long been accustomed to the arrogant and domineering nature of Dongchang and was not following the rules.

"Hmm?!" Lu Xiao glanced at Zhao Qing with anger. He didn't say anything in his mouth, but he let out a syllable that was enough to make Zhao Qing sweat on his forehead.

"Hundred households, the task is the most important thing," Zhao Qing didn't care about wiping the cold sweat that appeared, and quickly explained to Lu Xiao, "Thousand households were very dissatisfied with the previous incident. They sent a document to scold them. It has only been less than a month since then. If so..."

"Well," Lu Xiao remembered the burned official document, his face diminished anger, and he spoke with a little unwilling expression, "What you said makes sense. This time, I can only bear it for the time being, but," Lu Xiao changed his tone, and he spoke with some iron blood and toughness. "If the dogs in the East Factory dare to do anything, even if they are punished by Qianhu, I will swear to kill them without leaving them."

"The subordinates will definitely advance and retreat with hundreds of households." Zhao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but his face immediately showed a similar expression to Lu Xiao, and he bowed and replied firmly.

"Okay, I'm not mistaken for you." Lu Xiao actually knew that what he said just now was just venting his anger and expressing his position. It was impossible for him to really do it. So, after hearing Zhao Qing's statement, his expression immediately calmed down and patted Zhao Qing's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your trust." Zhao Qing hurriedly bowed with joy to thank him.

"Well," Lu Xiao nodded, put away the satisfied smile on his face, and became serious again. "However, this time, Dongchang will actually send He Er, the head of the station, to sneak into Dongsheng Inn. It seems that the news from Tianji Pavilion before was not groundless. Next, we should not be careless. We should continue to monitor the opposite side more carefully and strictly."

"What Baihu said is." Zhao Qing, who had been bent, finally raised his head and agreed with Lu Xiao. "My subordinates also think that they should increase the search efforts, but..." But immediately, Zhao Qing's face showed a little hesitation again.

"Just what?" Lu Xiao looked at Zhao Qing's expression and frowned with dissatisfaction.

"It's just a hundred households. Our mission this time is not easy. And counting the time, that person is about to arrive. No matter how big the secret in Dongsheng Inn is, it is not that great. So, subordinate," Zhao Qing raised his eyes and looked at Lu Xiao's expression. Seeing his thoughtful look, there was no angry call, he continued, "I think that anyway, the secret in Dongsheng Inn cannot affect our mission. It's better to put the task first. It's not too late to search after completing the task."

"Well, what you said makes sense," Although Zhao Qingsuan refuted his own meaning in person, Lu Xiao is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and agreed with Zhao Qing's idea. "And Tianji Pavilion deliberately leaked this secret, and the motive is still unknown. Let's hold on to the front, and we can see what the Tianji Pavilion is making that idea."

"A hundred households are wise." Zhao Qing saw that Lu Xiao was not angry, and at the same time, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he didn't need to sneak into Dongsheng Inn himself, he had to deal with the increasingly dissatisfied subordinates, the lieutenant, and he was under a lot of pressure. Now that the mission has been cancelled, his ears can be purified.

"However," but immediately, Lu Xiao made his idea dash. "Since the Dongchang, even though we knew that our Jinyiwei was there, still sent He Er as the stance, those people who didn't know the specific situation would definitely come one after another after getting the news, wanting to sneak into Dongsheng Inn to find that secret and make a fortune." Lu Xiao said this and stopped it, glanced at Zhao Qing, raised his eyebrows, and turned his head with a plain tone, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Zhao Qing couldn't hear Lu Xiao, but he was still unwilling to give up on the secret of Dongsheng Inn. He wanted to drive away the people in the trouble and enjoy the benefits alone. He quickly bowed to answer. However, he had no objection to this. The Jinyiwei was doing business, the idle people were waiting to retreat. Those people in the martial arts world did not understand the rules, so the Jinyiwei taught them to abide by the rules. As for the fact that they didn't know that it was the Jinyiwei doing things here? Haha, it wouldn't be too late to know after seeing the King of Hell!

...

After a night of shock, Sun Ji finally believed Bai Shier's previous words. Although he felt that the thief's voice sounded a little familiar, the subsequent fighting sounds, roars, and screams that made him weak all over his body made him throw this matter behind his head.

How could he, a law-abiding scholar, know such a strong man? He must have heard it wrongly, or the voice of that strong man is a bit similar to someone he knows.

However, no matter what, after waiting until dawn and confirming that all the strong men in the inn had disappeared, Sun Ji, who had not slept for a night, immediately fled home with Bai Shier, wondering whether he would quit the job of the shopkeeper, and even leave Yao Town, move back to the county town, find another job to support his family.

But when the sunset was about to set, the reason that was suppressed by fear finally gained the upper hand again. Sun Ji took Bai Shier and hired more than ten laborers from the surrounding docks to return to the inn together, intending to see the situation again.
