He knew the Spirit Hall's style very well. Since he was still a fugitive, the Spirit Hall would definitely offer a reward for his capture.

When he lifted the quilt, he found that his original clothes, which were so smelly that they could not be described, had been replaced with a simple robe that fit him well.

Without time to think, Yu Xiaogang looked around vigilantly.

The furnishings in the room were very simple, with only a simple bed and a chair with a missing "leg".

After looking at the half-open window, Yu Xiaogang cautiously stuck his head out.

Outside the room was a small courtyard. It was dinner time, and an old woman was making a fire to cook.

"Old man, change your clothes and have dinner." the old woman shouted.

Yu Xiaogang looked outside the fence of the courtyard and saw an old man in dirty clothes, carrying a shoulder pole, walking in slowly.

The old man was about sixty years old, with a large bucket hanging from each end of a pole on his shoulders. Judging from his appearance, Yu Xiaogang knew that he must be a dung carrier.

"Old lady, has the man from the palace woken up yet?"

"Ah? I don't know. He had a high fever these past few days. When I went to see him this morning, his fever had subsided. He should be waking up soon. I'll go check it out."

Yu Xiaogang knew that the person they were talking about was himself.

But, someone from the palace? What the hell is this?

But Yu Xiaogang is a soul master after all, so how could he be afraid of these two ordinary people?

He immediately walked out of the room, put his hands behind his back, raised his head and said, "You two, you saved me?"

The old man put down the pole and wiped his hands on the dirty apron in front of him. "My lord, I saw you fainted a few days ago. I reported to the Spirit Hall, and they said that no envoy came to Spirit City. I don't know the situation, so I can only bring you back first."

Yu Xiaogang took a look at his clothes and immediately understood the situation.

He is now a eunuch, and when I changed his clothes, I naturally saw his condition.

However, this old guy had reported the situation to the Spirit Hall, and by the time the Spirit Hall reacted, he would definitely have been caught.

"Old sir, has the Spirit Hall sent anyone here recently?" he asked hurriedly.

The old man shook his head, "The Spirit Hall didn't pay any attention to me. Oh, sir, come and eat. You have just recovered. If you don't replenish your food, you will definitely be weak in the future."

Yu Xiaogang did not refuse. Since the Spirit Hall did not send anyone, at least he had not been exposed yet.

The old man misunderstood his identity, but it protected him to a certain extent. He didn't know the situation around here, so he had to ask.

There was only a simple dish of fried radish on the dinner table.

"My Lord, these are all the carrots I have."

"Haha, no problem. When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Yu Xiaogang acted very approachable.

"By the way, I want to ask, are you the only family around here?"

The old man replied, "Several decades ago, there was a village at the foot of the mountain called Gujia Village. Later, the twin brothers in the village became talented spirit masters, and the entire village moved to a resettlement site near Wuhun City. Our family did not move with them. Later, my son awakened his spirit power and joined the Wuhun Palace."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang became alert, "Then your son has never come back?"

The old man sighed and said, "More than a decade ago, my son followed His Holiness the Pope to fight and died on the battlefield. The Spirit Hall later gave us some pensions and invited us to move to the resettlement area. Hey~ This is where I have lived for generations, and I don't want to leave, so I have lived here ever since."

Yu Xiaogang quickly grasped the key point in the other party's words - pension.

As for the soul master subsidy from the Spirit Hall, he didn't have the courage to claim it.

After a long silence, Yu Xiaogang said, "Old sir, I came from the Tiandou Empire. I encountered thieves on the way and ended up like this. Do you know how to get to Tiandou City from here?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Sir, I have never left here in my life. How can I know Tiandou City? However, if you keep going forward from the road ahead, you will see the official road. If you go there and ask, you should be able to find the way to Tiandou City."

After a pause, he continued, "Sir, why don't you go find the Spirit Hall. They should be able to send someone to escort you back to the palace."

In the palace! Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt unhappy.

The fact that he became a eunuch was his secret. How could he bear it when the old man in front of him not only saw his secret but also laughed at him?

"Han Yu, Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall, you are the ones who have harmed me to this point. I, Yu Xiaogang, swear that I will destroy the Spirit City and take your head, Han Yu, in this lifetime!" Yu Xiaogang shouted in his heart.

"Sir, the old man is right. The Spirit Hall usually sends people to help us. Last time, the old man broke his leg, and it was the sir sent by the Spirit Hall who healed him." The old woman looked towards the direction of Spirit City with gratitude.

Yu Xiaogang had a grudge against the Spirit Hall, but how could he bear that this old couple actually thanked the Spirit Hall? He didn't say anything, but in his heart, Yu Xiaogang had already sentenced them to death.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After the meal, Yu Xiaogang pretended to have important matters to attend to and rushed back to Tiandou City as soon as possible.

Before leaving, the old man took out three gold soul coins from his trouser pocket and handed them to him, "Sir, this money will be used as your travel expenses to return to Tiandou City. I hope it can help you."

Looking at the golden soul coins, Yu Xiaogang became more certain that the old man still had a lot of pension in his hands.

"Thank you very much. If I come to Wuhun City to do business next time, I will definitely give you a thank you gift."

After saying that, Yu Xiaogang ran out quickly.

The old man didn't care about his gift of thanks, but instead reminded him to be careful on the road.

…

Yu Xiaogang actually did not leave here.

There was only one way for the old man to go down the mountain. Yu Xiaogang took the opportunity to ambush on the road, and when the old man was going down the mountain, he relied on Luo Sanpao's fart to successfully send the old man away.

After searching the old man for a while, he did not find any extra money.

Then, he turned his gaze to the old man's house, "The money must be hidden at home. Humph, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being willing to become a dog of the Spirit Hall!"

Moreover, this family knew his whereabouts. Once the Spirit Hall continued to investigate, he would be exposed immediately.

Yu Xiaogang disguised himself and went up the mountain, where the old woman soon fell into his hands.

After killing his savior, Yu Xiaogang did not feel any guilt or uneasiness, but instead felt a sense of pleasure.

As a soul master, he had been bullied by stronger ones over the years. Now that he had killed two old men who had no ability to fight back, he felt extremely relieved.

He even gave a victory speech, "Soul Master is not something that ordinary people like you can shake!"

Next, he searched the old man's house for a while but did not find any money.

How could he know that the old man did not receive the pension back then. And these three gold soul coins were borrowed by the old man from the Spirit Hall as the fare for his return trip.
