Chapter 854 Su Qiutang’s Assassination

“You may leave!”

The butler left and closed the door.

He entered the inner room.

Qian An opened the envelope impatiently and took out the letter inside. It was written in familiar handwriting by Old Lu himself. There was only one sentence,” North City, Pingchun Lane, No. 119.”

The excitement in his heart could no longer be concealed. It was shown on his face, and his eyes flickered. He thought to himself that he had finally arrived.

He burned the letter and threw it into the basin.

He wasn’t in a hurry to move. He was perfecting his plan and thinking about whether he had missed anything.

He wouldn’t come back this time. He would leave once he got the formula for the Flame Thunder Bead. He would head to the Shang Dynasty’s stronghold and meet up with them. After handing over the item, he would leave Great Xia.

What they had to worry about was whether the Shang Dynasty would honor their promise after they got the item. They were afraid that they would kill them to silence them. However, they were on the chopping block now, and they were fish on the chopping block. Even if they were afraid, there was no other way.

If he didn’t agree or delayed, as long as the other party handed over the evidence, he wouldn’t have a good ending!

After thinking about it, he decided to take a gamble.

He changed into a new set of clothes and only brought his trusted aide, Qian Mo. He had saved his life, so he was absolutely loyal. He did not bring anyone else. He let Qian Mo drive the car and rush to the agreed location.

North City, a residential house near the city wall.

It was very dirty outside, and there was waste everywhere. The stench was overwhelming, and the people living here were the lowest class.

A carriage stopped.

“Old Master is here,” said Qian Mo.

He opened the umbrella and lifted the curtain to block the rain.

Qian An came out from inside. The two of them got off the carriage and stopped at the courtyard door.

Qian Mo knocked on the door with the knocker and shouted,” Is someone there?”

In the living room.

Old Lu sat on a chair with a cup of tea in front of him. It was steaming hot and he was calm as he held the teacup and drank casually.

Beside him stood a pretty widow called Mrs. Pan. She had a charming charm, like a ripe peach. Her butt was very big, and she walked around uneasily.

“Silence!”

Mrs. Pan stopped. She was afraid. She voiced out the worry in her heart.” Will it really work?”

“Don’t you want money anymore?” Old Lu glanced at her.

Mrs. Pan had a son who was studying in the Academy. Recently, he was going to take a teacher as his teacher. The teacher was very famous, knowledgeable, and had a wide network. If he could be accepted as his teacher, there would be many benefits. However, the teacher’s gift was very heavy and required a large sum of money. He could not afford it.

She also knew that Old Lu was wanted, but she still covered up for him. It was not because they had a deep relationship over the years or because they had fallen in love over time. It was because he was rich and generous. He also knew what would happen if this matter was exposed, but under the temptation of money, he still did this.

“What if I betray you?” he asked, expressing his worries.

“I won’t!” Old Lu was confident.

“We are on the same side. Over the years, Qian An has obtained many secrets from me and has secretly left a trump card. If anything happens, someone will use these things to report him. Great Xia is so big that there will no longer be a place for him to hide.”

“Someone’s there?” The knocking sounded again, louder than the previous time. Even the rain could not hide it, and it could be heard clearly.

Mrs. Pan was slightly relieved. Thinking of her son’s future, she gritted her teeth.” Go into the cellar and hide for a while.”

“Yes.” Old Lu agreed.

He finished the tea in one gulp and returned the table to its original state. He entered the inner room and lifted the blanket, revealing the hole under the bed. He turned around and went in.

Mrs. Pan returned the bed to its original state and tried her best to calm herself down. When it was about time, she went out and closed the door from the outside. She opened the umbrella beside her and looked in the direction of the courtyard door. She took a deep breath and walked over on the wet ground.

Outside the courtyard.

“Master, could there be a mistake?” Qian Mo frowned.

Qian An wasn’t sure either. After knocking on the door for a long time, if someone had already opened the door and not now, the courtyard door was still closed. Was it wrong? But that wasn’t right! The address was correct, and he didn’t go to the wrong place. There was only one explanation. Old Lu was very cautious. Thinking about it, it made sense. Everyone in the capital was looking for him. If he wasn’t careful, he would have long been imprisoned in Nether Prison.

“Keep knocking.”

“Yes, sir!” Qian Mo agreed.

He reached out his hand and was about to knock on the door knocker when the door opened from the inside with a squeaking sound, revealing a mature and charming face like a vixen. He retracted his hand and silently retreated to the side.

Looking at the two people in front of him, there was no one else.

Mrs. Pan’s worried heart relaxed a little. She did not let her guard down. She was very vigilant.” Who are you looking for?”

Qian An introduced himself.” I’m Qian An, Old Lu’s good friend. I just received a message from him asking me to meet him here.”

Madam Pan hesitated. If it was possible, she would not have forced Old Lu to write that letter. However, her son’s apprenticeship gift was imminent. If she could not take out the silver soon, this matter would very likely fall through.

He sneakily looked around and saw that there was no one around. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. He hurriedly moved aside.” Come in quickly.”

He waited for them to enter before closing the courtyard door.

Without saying a word, he brought her into the bedroom.

“Did you bring the money?”

“Where’s Old Lu?” Qian An asked.

“Did you bring the money?” Mrs. Pan asked.

Qian An stretched out his hand. Qian Mo took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to her.

He took a look. It was only 1,000 taels. It was enough for the apprenticeship gift.

However, Old Lu had just said that this item was very valuable. This amount of money was not enough. He kicked the banknote into his pocket and stared at Qian Mo’s chest with great greed.” It’s not enough!”
