"Hahahaha, my lords, it was Feng's fault last time. I spoke too harshly. I apologize to you both here!"
Inside Feng Yuan's Escort Agency, at the dinner table, Feng Yuan raised his glass with a flushed face and said, then drank it all in one gulp.
"Mr. Zhou, Miss Ling, why aren't you two drinking? Are you still holding a grudge against me, Feng?"
Zhou Zhilu declined, saying, "We have official business to attend to, so drinking is not appropriate."
"Hey! Aren't you talking about the Xiliu Village case?" Feng Yuan interrupted, waving his hand and saying, "After this meal, I'll help you find Wang Qian. I can also take you to see the branch escort agency you were interested in last time!"
Zhou Zhilu asked in surprise, "Are you serious, Captain Feng?"
Feng Yuan looked at the wine glass in front of Zhou Zhilu with a half-smile: "I, Feng Yuan, love making friends, but judging from the expressions of the two of you, it seems that you are not very willing to make friends with me."
Zhou Zhilu raised his wine glass and said, "Captain Feng, you misunderstood. However, my companion is not good at drinking, so why not let me take over..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Ling Qingxue, who was sitting next to him, decisively picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Zhilu smiled casually upon seeing this, and then drank the wine in the glass.
"Hahaha, great! This second cup..."
…
Half an hour later.
In the backyard of Feng Yuan Escort Agency, Zhou Zhilu rubbed his brows and slowly walked out of the room.
Feng Yuan kept forcing Zhou Zhilu to drink, and he couldn't count how many rounds he had drunk.
Of the three people at the key table, I’m the one who can’t drink the most!
Feng Yuan could tell from his figure that he could drink quite a bit, and his cultivation was probably not weak either, while Ling Qingxue relied solely on her deep inner strength to withstand the drunkenness.
Seeing that he was no match for his opponent, Zhou Zhilu started to urinate and slipped away temporarily.
Feeling the cold wind outside, the drunkenness dissipated a lot.
Glancing at the room behind him, Zhou Zhilu's eyes showed a hint of confusion.
According to his own speculation, Feng Yuan's purpose of inviting the two of them to a banquet was probably to test the waters.
Let’s see if it was Zhou Zhilu and the others who kidnapped Li Yu last night, and whether they learned anything from Li Yu?
Zhou Zhilu had already prepared a way to deal with this, and by the way, he also wanted to get something out of Feng Yuan.
But from the beginning till now, Feng Yuan didn't mention a single word about what happened last night.
He just kept forcing me to drink. If he wanted to get me to drink to find out what happened last night, that method was a bit too childish.
Zhou Zhilu shook his head. Now the only way was to fight against the enemy with soldiers and block the water with earth.
…
There are generally two types of toilets in the Song Dynasty. One is the dry toilet used by ordinary people, which is done by digging a big hole.
One is a copper kettle used by wealthy families, called a "Ma Zi", which is similar to a toilet, but there will be special servants responsible for emptying and cleaning.
A large compound like Feng Yuan Escort Agency naturally employs prostitutes, but even so, the stench is still quite obvious.
Zhou Zhilu covered his nose and walked out of the toilet and returned to the yard.
At this moment, Zhou Zhilu suddenly smelled a strange smell.
A faint fragrance mixed with a hint of fishy smell.
I didn't notice it at all before, but after comparing it with the stench just now, the fragrance is particularly obvious.
This fragrance... is somewhat familiar.
Zhou Zhilu's pupils trembled. This was the smell of red crystal!
Immediately, golden light flowed through his eyes, and his bright and clear eyes opened.
In an instant, from Zhou Zhilu's perspective, he saw that the yard was filled with a very light green mist.
"Is this... a demonic aura?!" Zhou Zhilu murmured.
At the same time, Zhou Zhilu felt a little dizzy and the spiritual energy in his body was a little agitated.
"Oh no!" Zhou Zhilu quickly held his breath. At this moment, he finally understood why Feng Yuan didn't ask about what happened yesterday.
Because this guy had no intention of testing them at all, but wanted to deal with them directly!
Even if he doesn't kill them, he will make them addicted to this red crystal and control them.
Why a banquet, why drinking? These are just means to cover up the fragrance of red crystal. If I hadn't smelled this fragrance by accident, I'm afraid I would have been in trouble today!
"Ling Qingxue!" Zhou Zhilu thought of Ling Qingxue who was alone in the house and was about to turn around and go back.
Suddenly, the sound of swords was heard.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a white sword light shot out from the house, penetrated the roof, and raised a large amount of dust.
Immediately afterwards, a figure was seen jumping out from the hole in the roof and landing next to Zhou Zhilu.
It’s Ling Qingxue!
But at this time, Ling Qingxue's face was flushed and her breath was weak.
"Ling Qingxue, you..." Zhou Zhilu said in surprise.
Before he could finish his words, Ling Qingxue interrupted him and said, "Don't ask any more questions. Let's go!"
After saying that, he pulled Zhou Zhilu out of the house.
He had only run a few steps when he saw a group of people from Feng Yuan Escort Agency rushing in from all directions of the yard and surrounding him.
Zhou Zhilu looked at Ling Qingxue's hazy eyes, and asked in a low voice with a grim expression, "How are you? Are you sure you can escape?"
Ling Qingxue slowly shook her head and said unwillingly, "I'm poisoned, and most of my spiritual energy is restricted... and that guy is quite powerful."
Ling Qingxue looked back.
I heard a voice coming from the room behind me.
"Mr. Zhou, Miss Ling, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Zhou Zhilu turned around and saw Feng Yuan walking out of the house with his hands behind his back, looking at the two of them grimly.
Zhou Zhilu drew the long sword from his waist and said coldly, "Feng Yuan, what do you want to do? Killing a court official is a serious crime."
