The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

soon.

A series of piercing screams echoed through the manor.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Yu Qiufeng, who had been quite defiant, revealed all the secrets he knew.

After he finished telling Jia Daoshi everything he knew, Jia Daoshi immediately slashed him with a sword.

Anyway, this guy really wanted to die, so this is perfect for him.

However, the information obtained from the other party seemed to be of little use.

Even Yu Qiufeng didn't know who the mastermind was, because the Holy Maiden was responsible for making all the contacts.

"It seems we still have to go find this Holy Maiden!" Jia Daoshi pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Luo Hou.

Looking at the assassin from Lotus Pavilion before him, Jia Daoshi hesitated.

Assassins exist at any time and in any environment.

This kind of profession is generally about money, not people.

Seeing Jia Daoshi's gaze, Luo Hou didn't know what the other was thinking at this moment. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I am indeed an assassin from Lotus Tower. I did come here this time to avenge my junior brother Fang Duobing, but the main reason is that the Sun Moon Sect paid me to do this. Actually, I was just doing my job for money. The grudge between you and me is not deep."

"Oh? So you're saying you want to stay out of this?" Jia Daoshi smiled faintly.

This assassin is interesting. Judging from his appearance, he seems afraid of being killed by me.

“What’s done is done. A real man takes responsibility for his actions. Kill me if you want!” Luo Hou said, forcing himself to speak.

Jia Daoshi smiled faintly: "Jia Bing, drag this kid out and behead him."

Upon hearing this, Jia Bing laughed heartily: "Yes!"

Now, only this assassin from Lotus Tower is still alive. As long as we kill this kid, we can immediately move on to his favorite part—cleaning up the battlefield and looting the corpse for treasure!

Luo Hou hadn't expected that Jia Daoshi would actually kill him without hesitation!

His words just now left a lot of room for maneuver!

That means if others can pay me to kill someone, you can hire me too!

As for helping Fang, who is often ill, vent his anger, that's not important!

As it turned out, they didn't listen at all!

"Hero! Wait! Don't kill me! I'll pay a fortune to save my life!"

Luo Hou didn't want to die so mysteriously; it was completely not worth it!

"Oh? You want to spend a fortune to buy back your own life? I wonder just how much that fortune is?" Jia Daoshi stopped Jia Bing, whose eyes were gleaming with greed, and asked.

Trying to outsmart him is absolutely impossible.

“That’s right, I’m willing to spend a lot of money!” Luo Hou confirmed again, his tone as if he had made a very important decision.

"Look at my manor, it's full of Vajra Realm experts. You know how precious the resources are for cultivating such a group of experts! So, ordinary money is not worth my attention," Jia Daoshi said calmly.

"I know! I understand!" Luo Hou hurriedly said, "Master Jia, I believe that what I bring out will definitely satisfy you!"

Seeing Luo Hou's confident expression, Jia Daoshi couldn't help but become interested.

"Okay, let me see your sincerity."

Luo Hou nodded, then reached into his robes...

"Master, be careful!" Jia Bing was startled and immediately drew his bow and aimed an arrow at Luo Hou's head.

Luo Hou was also startled.

"It's alright, let him take it out." Jia Daoshi gestured for Luo Hou to continue taking it out.

Luo Hou fumbled in his robes for a long time before finally pulling out a square box.

Jia Bing put away the bow and arrows, stepped forward to take them and inspected them. After confirming that there were no problems, he turned around and handed them to Jia Daoshi.

Seeing his treasure fall into the hands of his former enemy, Luo Hou felt a mix of emotions.

Originally, he wanted to use this treasure to try and break through to the Free Realm, but now, he can only give it up to save his life.

Good luck fooling people!

"What's in it?"

Jia Daoshi looked at the box in his hand and asked Luo Hou.

Luo Hou's lips twitched, his face full of heartache: "Inside here is a two-thousand-year-old He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum), which has grown into human form. I obtained it by chance on a snow mountain in the Western Regions. Many people died for this thousand-year-old He Shou Wu."

The heartache on Luo Hou's face was not an act; it was genuine.

It has grown into human form, a two-thousand-year-old He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum).

Jia Daoshi was also somewhat surprised.

This thing can definitely be considered a miraculous medicine; its medicinal power is almost as good as that of the Blood Bodhi!

"I didn't expect you to have such a good opportunity."

"It should be passable." Luo Hou said with a forced smile, but in his heart, a million grass mud horses were galloping.

Good luck? It's you who's lucky!

He even broke a leg while trying to save this He Shou Wu that had transformed into a human figure, and it took him two months to recover!

Now, the items go straight into your pocket!

Who do you think had good fortune?

“Yes, this he shou wu can indeed save your life,” Jia Daoshi nodded. “However, if you want to escape unscathed, you will need to make some other contributions.”

"What contribution?" Luo Hou was already numb.

"Tell us the organizational structure of your Lotus Pavilion, who the leader is, and who the powerful experts are," Jia Daoshi said, opening the wooden box as he spoke.

Inside was a he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) wrapped with red thread. The he shou wu had grown into a human shape and even had facial features. Legend has it that only he shou wu that is more than two thousand years old can take human form!

nice one!

Jia Daoshi smiled and found that Luo Hou in front of him was much more pleasing to the eye.

“I said… I confess, I’ll tell you everything I know…”

Luo Hou has now given up entirely.

Before I came here, I was full of high spirits.

Now, in order to survive, they've even betrayed the Lotus Pavilion.

This guy, he's a real dog.

After Luo Hou finished explaining everything he knew, Jia Daoshi waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go now."

However, Luo Hou did not leave. Instead, he made a shocking remark: "Master Jia, please wait. Since things have come to this point, I have another earth-shattering secret to tell you. I wonder if Mr. Jia would be interested?"

A shocking secret?

Of course I'm interested.

No one is uninterested in earth-shattering secrets.

"explain."

"Actually, the Daqing Secret Treasure that Master Jia visited a few days ago was a fake," Luo Hou said mysteriously. "The real Daqing Secret Treasure is elsewhere!"

"What you're saying is nonsense," Jia Daoshi said with disdain; he had known about this for a long time.

"Master Jia, I haven't finished speaking. In fact, the reason why the Daqing Dynasty was destroyed by the combined forces of the Dajing and Longwu Dynasties was because the Daqing Dynasty discovered a huge secret, which is related to the destruction of the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves in the Southern Frontier and Liyue City, and also to the immortality elixir sought by the founding emperor of the Daqing Dynasty!"

"The Great Qing Dynasty has hidden this secret in a place called the Temple of the Martial God. To open the Temple of the Martial God, three keys are needed! One of them is said to have appeared in the Jiangnan region a few days ago!"
