Fang Si nudged Wu San's shoulder and said, "Okay, stop talking! I should have come out with Tian Er. She doesn't talk as much as you do."

"Come on, that woman's face is like ice. She never looks happy at anyone. It's boring to be with her."

Fang Si glared at Wu San and said, "We are here to wait for someone, not to play! If you don't want to watch anyone, go back first and don't disturb me here!"

Wu San casually put his arm around Fang Si's shoulder and said, "It's okay. Curfew will be over in more than an hour, and then we can go back and rest. The Ninth Prince can't be hanging around outside after curfew!"

Fang Si was just about to hit Wu San's hand when his eyes accidentally caught sight of an ox cart approaching in the distance and he subconsciously nodded towards that direction.

"Do you think that's the person we're waiting for?"

Wu San followed his gaze and was a little bit unbelievable for a moment.

"He just sits in the car and eats cakes like this?"

Lu Jiao bent one leg on the board of the ox cart, with the other leg hanging casually, and he managed to make the ox cart look like a horse carriage, while eating the sesame cake he had just bought in his hand.

If Lu Jiao could not just buy the item and leave, the driver would definitely not allow her to get off the car.

If you delay and cannot return to the carriage and horse trading company before curfew, the worst possible outcome is that you will be sent to Shuntian Prefecture, or even beaten to death on the spot!

"Little brother, we've arrived."

Lu Jiao looked around. This was the Caishikou in the south city.

After noon, all the vegetable stalls closed down, leaving only a number of stalls selling daily necessities.

There are also some peddlers who will sell special gadgets brought from all over the place.

So it’s quite lively.

As it approaches the You hour (17:), the vendors have already started to pack up, trying to get home or leave the city before the curfew.

Soon Lu Jiao discovered the traces of Wu San and Fang Si.

They were both so conspicuous.

Among a crowd of busy people, the two of them were so idle that they looked like two onlookers.

But their taut muscles make them look less like street vagrants and do not fit in with the environment of Caishikou.

I don't know where they worked before.

If it were in the palace, Lu Jiao felt that it was very reasonable for the people of Southern Dian to be dug out so quickly.

"Let's go back to the carriage!" Lu Jiao gave an order, with no intention of getting off the ox cart.

The driver had a question mark on his forehead: "Aren't you going to get off the car?"

Lu Jiao looked at the sky and estimated the time it would take to return.

"Hurry up, or you may not be able to go back."

The driver almost jumped off the car: "You know you don't have enough time! If you had bought one less roast chicken, we wouldn't have to hurry!"

But since Lu Jiao was the boss who paid the money, the driver could only endure it.

He controlled the cow to circle in the middle of Caishikou and returned along the same route.

He also reminded Lu Jiao: "Little brother, don't delay on the way back!"

"I know, I know!"

Lu Jiao waved towards Wu San and the others, and threw the paper ball that she had prepared long ago to them.

Fang Si stopped Wu San who was about to rush out: "Old San, don't be impulsive!"

"What does he mean by that? Didn't the boss ask us to pick him up?"

"Let's take a look first and then talk."

Fang Si saw the small ball of paper fall under a tree not far from them.

It's like discarded garbage, not noticeable at all.

But out of caution, Fang Si looked around and saw that no one noticed the paper ball, so he pushed Wu San.

"Go pick up the paper ball from under that tree."

"Why don't you go?"

"Then I'll go and you'll keep watch?"

Thinking that although Fang Si's martial arts skills were slightly inferior to his, his insight was much higher than his, Wu San compromised.

"I'll go, I'll go!"

Wu San pretended to walk over leisurely, and did not forget to glance sideways to see if anyone around noticed him.

That shifty look made Fang Si's eyes hurt.

He finally understood why the boss wanted them to withdraw from the palace.

It’s really too easy to be exposed!

"Bring it back."

Wu San handed the paper ball to Fang Si, who then pulled Wu San deeper into the alley.

After many twists and turns, they walked into an abandoned hut.

Seeing that no one was following him, he opened the paper ball.

There was only one sentence written inside - the first test is completed.

Wu San turned over the note and looked at the back, but there was nothing written on it.

"Old Four, what does he mean by this! Isn't he going to the base with us?"

"Can you change your impatient temper? Go back first!"

The driver took Lu Jiao and drove the ox cart faster than a horse carriage, and finally arrived at the carriage and horse shop a quarter of an hour before curfew.

"Little brother, where do you live? Go home quickly! If you haven't reached home before curfew, choose to walk through the small alleys, don't take the main road!"

Lu Jiao took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the driver's hand: "Got it, uncle!"

The moment he went out, his mental force quickly enveloped his entire body, making his figure invisible.

In front of Qinming Cottage, as it was getting darker, the place became even more lively.

Carriages came in from the back door and were led into the private rooms by different young masters.

Only a small number of people with particularly prominent identities will be greeted by Master Shen himself.

Lu Jiao stood in the backyard, looking at their flushed faces and extreme excitement, and couldn't help but sneer.

Instead of going directly back to the cell, she went to a deep well near the dungeon entrance.

This well directly connected to the underground water vein. It was not used for drinking water, but for their convenience in disposal.

I heard from the cell guard before that one was just thrown down this morning. I hope it didn't float too far.

Lu Jiao separated a trace of his mental power and tied it to the wellhead, then jumped in.

After passing through a closed space of about fifteen meters, Lu Jiao felt that the surroundings were empty and the space had become much larger.

The water hit the surrounding rocks, making a loud noise, and the little air was very humid, making people feel even more stuffy.

There was no light at all, and the water was flowing very fast, so it was easy to be hit by the rocks if you were not careful.

Even if he is still breathing when he is thrown down, he will die quickly.

Lu Jiao frowned and released his mental strength to avoid getting hurt.

The terrain of the underground water veins was very complex. Lu Jiao felt that he had walked nearly two kilometers before the water flow slowed down a little.

A few bays began to appear.

She soon found a floating figure in a bay with a radius of three meters.

The wounds on the man's body had turned slightly white due to blisters, but fortunately there were not many fish here, so his body was still in perfect condition.

His figure is 80% similar to Lu Jiao's.

She stripped the body naked and put it into the space.

It was not placed together with the food collected previously, but was placed in front of the system console.

248 complained in Lu Jiao's crystal core: [Ahhh! Take it away quickly! Why put this thing in the system core! ]

[What are you shouting about! Just look at me like, what's the big deal! ]
