Lu Zhiqiu struck while the iron was hot and asked again:
"The three of us have just joined, and we want to do something for our alliance as soon as possible. Are there any tasks for the alliance recently?"
The fat deacon frowned and said:
"You just joined, so it's probably not legal for you to directly participate in the mission."
Lu Zhiqiu took out a few high-grade spirit stones and said with a smile:
"Our devotion to the Tao is sincere and steadfast, and heaven and earth can bear witness to it."
The fat butler rubbed his hands and laughed:
"You are quite capable, girl."
"Never mind, let me guess."
"You've seen the recent uproar surrounding the Anti-Heaven Alliance, and you're worried they might be making some big moves."
"So we joined the alliance as quickly as possible, hoping to catch this favorable trend, make contributions, and get a share of the future."
Lu Zhiqiu gave an unfathomable smile.
The fat butler said:
"I think you have a bright future, so I'll help you if I can."
"Well, the three of you will go guard the Gumin Street east of Cuiyan City, where there are three locust trees, for the next few days."
"Remember not to allow people to destroy the street topography."
……
Gumin Street.
Sun Xiaoyan shook her head and sighed:
"I thought the Anti-Heaven Alliance was full of talented people, but I didn't expect the person in charge of such a major project would be like this. I really overestimated them."
Xia Yuke smiled and said:
"Okay."
"After all, he didn't directly reveal that this matter was targeting the Sun family, so he managed to keep the secret. Of course...it's also possible that he didn't know this secret in the first place."
The two joked for a while, then turned their eyes to Lu Zhiqiu.
Lu Zhiqiu closed his eyes and sensed for a moment.
He opened his eyes and whispered:
"There's a shadow transmission array set up here, which can directly transmit nearby images to Luoyang City."
"Now it seems that things are very clear."
"Uncle Sun's third uncle is coming here to collect blood and energy. The Anti-Heaven Alliance knew about it in advance and prepared to broadcast it to the heroes of Luoyang City."
Sun Xiaoyan and Xia Yuke also observed Gumin Street for a while.
I did sense a faint trace of spiritual power.
Seeing this, Sun Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Xia Yuke patted her shoulder and comforted her:
"Don't worry, with Miss Lu here, this kind of thing will never happen."
Lu Zhiqiu nodded and said:
"I have improved the Black Blood Pool Technique. It is neither moral nor rational to allow such a monstrous and tragic event to happen again."
"But why would the Sun family collect blood and energy so early?"
Sun Xiaoyan was also very confused:
"Although none of the elders in my family told me about this."
"But I also know that they go out together once every March. It's only October now, so it doesn't make sense for Uncle San to come out at this time."
Lu Zhiqiu secretly guessed that this might be the work of the Zheng family.
The collective deployment in March every year is a common tacit understanding among the eight major families, and it is easy for those who are interested to associate them with each other.
and so.
They wanted to have the Sun family caught at another time so that the suspicion on the Zheng family would be minimized as much as possible.
That's it.
These things will naturally be determined after I meet Uncle Sun.
There is no point in guessing now.
……
Early morning ten days later.
Lu Zhiqiu and the other two were walking on Gumin Street.
on the street.
Every few steps you can see men, women, young and old setting up stalls, selling delicious food and toys to entertain children.
"Hey, you three got up so early today. You must be in a good mood. Do you want to get a little clay doll?"
Uncle Zhang, who was pushing a cart selling colorful clay dolls, said with a smile.
The three of them followed the sound.
Sure enough, there were a string of clay dolls lined up on the car, including little rabbits, little tigers, little roosters... They were vivid and quite impressive.
Lu Zhiqiu rubbed Xia Yuke's head and said with a faint smile:
"I think you're so fierce all the time, so a little tiger is just right for you."
Xia Yuke's face darkened and she pinched Lu Zhiqiu's waist hard.
The pain made Lu Zhiqiu gasp.
Feeling a little relieved, she looked at Mr. Zhang who was selling clay figurines, and after a quick selection, she picked up a white bunny.
"In my opinion, this little rabbit is innocent and cute."
"Put it by the bedside from now on. It will remind me not to be a naive little white rabbit and not be easily deceived by some female thief."
Xia Yuke played with the little rabbit and was quite satisfied.
The three continued walking down the street.
"Three girls, out for a walk again, huh? Let's stick to the old rules, three sweet cakes?"
The lady selling sweet cakes handed over three pieces of sweet cakes with a smile.
Xia Yuke quickly took it, paid the money, and stuffed a piece into her mouth, unable to help but groaning:
"It's delicious, even better than what Uncle Li from my kitchen makes."
The old lady laughed and said:
"Miss, you don't know that my sweet cakes are made with local glutinous rice and my Aunt Zhou's secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. If someone else makes them in a different place, the taste will be completely different."
Xia Yuke puffed out her cheeks and nodded repeatedly.
on the road.
Lu Zhiqiu couldn't help but teased:
"We're clearly here to wait for Third Uncle Sun, so why do you look so relaxed, like you're on vacation?"
Xia Yuke stuffed a piece of sweet cake into Lu Zhiqiu's mouth and said with a chuckle:
"Isn't it because the people here are so enthusiastic?"
"Aunt Zhou just now said I was cute when she saw us on the first day. She insisted on giving me some cakes. I had to persuade her a lot before she accepted the money."
Sun Xiaoyan joked:
"It's still cute? If she knew you peed on my hand when you were a kid, she'd probably..."
Before she finished speaking, Xia Yuke quickly stuffed the remaining sweet cake into Sun Xiaoyan's mouth, and then said angrily:
"Even if there are delicious foods, you can't stop eating them. It's endless."
Lu Zhiqiu watched the show happily.
The three of them walked to the end.
I happened to meet the fat deacon who came to check on me five days ago.
The fat deacon held the communication jade pendant in his hand, looking anxious. He waved at Lu Zhiqiu and the other two from a distance, signaling them to come over quickly.
When the three of them came to him, he said anxiously:
"Three girls, your mission is over. We should withdraw."
Lu Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, then asked:
"Are we the only ones retreating?"
"What about the people on this street? What about the people in this city? Why don't they evacuate together?"
The fat deacon suddenly became alert and said in surprise:
"What do you know?"
The Long River of Tears: Chapter 40: The Third Uncle Arrives
Since the third uncle of the Sun family is coming.
Lu Zhiqiu simply stopped pretending and released his aura without reservation, sealing the fat deacon's cultivation on the spot and pinning him to the ground:
"You, you... you are a great cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage!"
Lu Zhiqiu didn't say anything.
Her current strength is still at the peak of Qi training, but her aura is even stronger than that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.
After all, her skills are too advanced.
The fat deacon trembled on the ground and said:
"Since you are a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, why bother to trouble a young deacon who has just established his foundation? Why not just treat me like a piece of shit?"
"By the way, my heart for the Tao is also very pious, please take a look."
It seems that he thought he had grasped the main point.
The fat deacon suddenly rummaged through his storage ring, pulled out a large amount of spirit stones, and handed them to Lu Zhiqiu with a smug look on his face.
Lu Zhiqiu put it away calmly.
Then he asked with a cold face:
"You haven't answered my question yet. Aren't you planning to take the people in the city away?"
The fat butler had a sad face:
"Girl, this is all the heart I have for the Tao. There really isn't a drop left."
Lu Zhiqiu continued to stare at him.
After a moment's silence, the fat deacon finally realized that the man in front of him was not someone who could be bribed by his desire for the Tao.
He covered his forehead and murmured:
"I'm just a small deacon. I don't understand many things. I'm just carrying out the leader's orders."
"If we want to expose the evil deeds of the Sun family, then the people of this city must be sacrificed. Otherwise, we will not be able to gain the trust of the cultivators in Luoyang City who are paying close attention."
Lu Zhiqiu said coldly:
“They’re watching it live.”
