"Hm!" Don't just look at it, it's a Salary that took me one or two months! " Sun Qing muttered to himself, then raised his head towards the fake mountain and asked: "Is Old Pig working inside?"
"The Old Pig he was talking about was actually surnamed Zhu. Because he could eat, drink and sleep, people who had known him for a long time gave him the nickname Old Pig." What business do you have with Old Pig? "
"This old pig still owes me a few dozen taels of silver. Let me know when he will pay me back." Sun Qing walked through the crowd and towards the fake mountain.
If one didn't go closer, it would be difficult to discover that there was a small cave under the fake mountain. It was pitch black inside, and one couldn't see one's own fingers in front of the cave.
"It's only a few dozen taels of silver, there's no need to keep chasing after him. Old Sun, when did you become so stingy?" One of the guards sneered.
"I wasn't in a hurry before, but I spent a bit too much tonight." Sun Qing touched the darkness as he walked into the cave without looking back.
The guard held onto the cave entrance and asked: "You and this old one didn't go to the Baishui Tavern did you?"
"Hehe, you guessed it right!"
"How dare you go to such a place? "So rich ?" The guards shook their heads and sighed.
Sun Qing no longer bothered with the guards at the entrance of the cave. The fake mountain wasn't big, and the cave wasn't too deep either. It was only three to four meters deep. After reaching the end, he came face to face with a stone door.
He knew what was going on, so he clenched his fist and casually hit the wall next to him. There was a creaking sound as the stone door slowly rose up.
The stone door was nearly a foot thick. Even if it wasn't more than a thousand jin, it still had to be several hundred jin. When it fell to the ground, not a single crack could be found.
He looked inside and saw a long path diagonally downwards. There was a torch inserted every two to three feet into the wall, and although the path was very deep, it was not difficult to see through it.
After entering, Sun Qing once again hammered the wall, closed the stone door, and then walked down the path. After passing through this long and dark corridor, and reaching the end of another stone door, Sun Qing continued to pound on the wall as before, and the stone door in front of him slowly rose up as well.
As the stone door opened, the space in front of them immediately widened. It was a massive dungeon, not just into the ground, but it was also unusually large, similar to the size of the County Head Palace on the ground.
The only problem was that the dungeon was filled with bags of food, so the remaining space was very limited. At the outermost area, there was an open space that was less than ten meters wide. There were tables, stools, a few beds on the floor and some miscellaneous items.
At this time, there were more than ten people present, some wearing casual clothes, some wearing armor, and some dressed differently, but there was also one thing that was different. All of them were Spirit Cultivator, and they could all feel the existence of Spirit Pressure on their bodies.
"Eh? Old Sun, why are you here? You're not on duty tonight, are you? " Seeing Sun Qing, the people around the table all raised their heads and looked at him.
"I'm bored, let me take a look!" Sun Qing smiled, casually replied, and then walked over. After standing at the table, his gaze slowly swept across the depths of the dungeon.
The height of the dungeon was no less than three meters. Bags of food were piled up to the ceiling, and with such a large area, he could estimate that the food stored inside was about the same as the ones stored outside.
No one paid much attention to Sun Qing and continued to gamble. They were betting on small amounts of money, so it wasn't a big deal. They were just playing around and having fun.
Sun Qing turned and walked behind a sturdy looking man, patted his shoulder and asked: "Old Pig, when will you return the silver you took from me last time?"
The stocky man's attention was completely focused on the gambling table. He absent-mindedly waved his hand and said, "What's the rush? We'll return the salary in two days."
"I'm really short on money recently!"
"What's wrong, Old Sun? Are you short on money?" If you lack money, just say it! " Another guard took out a silver ingot and said, "I have 10 taels. You can take it first."
"No need, there's no need to be in such a hurry!" Sun Qing smiled as he waved his hand, rejecting the guard's good intentions. If you need money, just say so. Don't treat us as outsiders! " "No, no!"
The guard suddenly looked up and down suspiciously at Sun Qing, and said: "Old Sun, your cultivation has improved a lot recently, how can the Spirit Pressure be so strong?"
Hearing that, Sun Qing's heart immediately rose to his throat, but he maintained his composure, and joked: "It can't be that you took a step back yourself, right?"
"How is this possible ?"
"It's only right for Old Sun to have improved his cultivation. Of all of us, Old Sun has trained the most. There were several times when I woke up to eat, and I saw Old Sun cultivating." The guard with the nickname Old Pig praised while shaking the pigeon.
"There's no need to go all out! "We are all commoners, so no matter how high our cultivation is, aren't we still guards?"1
"You can't even put it that way. If one's cultivation is high, then one can kill more enemies on the battlefield. If there is a good opportunity, then one might really be promoted to a general!"
"Dream on!" "If there was such a good thing, your father would have long since gone all out and painstakingly trained for it ?"
The guards talked back to one another, and quickly changed the topic. Seeing that, Sun Qing laughed secretly in his heart, it seems like I have successfully passed the test tonight.
This Sun Qing was no longer the same Sun Qing. The real Sun Qing had long been devoured by Tang Yin using the Fire of Darkness, and the current Sun Qing was just a clone created using the Shadow Clone Technique. Although he could create a clone that was the same as Sun Qing, it did not mean that there was no flaw, it was fine for the clone to trick ordinary people, but once it met Spirit Cultivator, the opponent would easily sense the difference in strength in the Spirit Pressure, and if the opponent used a Arts of Clairvoyance, then it would be completely exposed.
However, Sun Qing and the guards were all fellow disciples who had worked together for many years, and their relationship was extremely close, just like a family member. This kind of relationship, the good thing was that if one of them had even the slightest bit of change, the others would be able to immediately feel it, but the bad part was that they were here, and even if they felt something strange, they would not go into it too deeply. Taking the current situation for example, even though they had sensed that Sun Qing's Spirit Pressure had suddenly become stronger, no one would use the Arts of Clairvoyance to investigate it. To be able to use Insight on comrades who were like brothers, it was like stripping off their brothers' clothes and pants, it was something that could not be tolerated and accepted no matter what. Furthermore, there were even people like Old Pig who interjected and joked around, changing the topic ?
The doppelg?nger successfully blended through in front of Sun Qing's companions, and Tang Yin's heart finally dropped back into his stomach.
Sun Qing looked around at the rest, and said: "You guys continue playing, I'll go back to sleep first!"
"Since you're already here, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Let's play a few games together!" Old Pig raised his head and shouted.
"I'm not interested in this stuff, you guys continue!" As Sun Qing spoke, he waved his hands and turned to walk out. Then, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head to say: "Tomorrow, I still have to go out to eat with my old friend. Maybe I can bring a few jugs of wine back.
"Are you for real?" Upon hearing this, everyone was amused. Their eyes lit up and their mouths were wide open. Sun Qing shrugged his shoulders, and added: "That is, if I have enough money on me!"
"Tch!" Isn't that the same as not saying anything at all? " Now that the alcohol in the city was almost sold at an astronomical price, no matter how rich Sun Qing was, at most, it would be enough for him and his old friend to drink, how could he possibly still bring it back?
People waved their sleeves at him and continued to play the dice.
Sun Qing's mouth twitched as he laughed lightly. Without further hesitation, he opened the stone door and walked out.
On the second day, at noon, Tang Yin left County Head Palace and returned to his and Cheng Jin's residence. Cheng Jin, Le Tian and Ah Si were all not present, only a few Hidden Arrow Crew s remained to guard the place. Tang Yin told the Dark Arrow people to quickly go to the granary to find Cheng Jin and the others.
After an hour of waiting, Cheng Jin, Le Tian, Ah San and the rest hurried back to their residences. Seeing Tang Yin, everyone asked, "Great King, what has happened for you to be in such a hurry to call us back?"
Tang Yin looked at the people around him, and said sternly: "Tonight, we will make our move."
Hearing this, everyone's body trembled. They looked at each other, then crowded around. Tang Yin said: "I have already thought of a plan of action. How are things on your side?"
Le Tian said, "We're still looking for an opportunity ?"
"No time." Tang Yin interrupted him and after pondering for a moment, he said: "During dinner time, take advantage of the chance to eat, pour the medicine into the soup and try your best to fool anyone who doesn't, kill them all."
"Yes!" "Great King!" Cheng Jin did some calculations and felt that he had enough men on his side, so he asked: "Does the King need help?"
Tang Yin nodded and said: "I need the two brothers to help me." He knocked on his forehead and said: "The door of the dark warehouse is tightly sealed, the air inside is not flowing, there must be a secret air vent, according to my calculations, the air vent should not be inside the County Head Palace, it is very likely to be on the west side of the County Head Palace. Once the dark warehouse is on fire, smoke would definitely come out from the air vent, causing people to be suspicious, so I need two brothers to help me dissipate the smoke, at least no one will notice it immediately."
Cheng Jin rolled his eyes and asked: "Does the King know the exact location of the air vent?"
"Wouldn't it be easy if we knew?" Tang Yin said: "These two brothers only need to be lying in ambush on the west side of County Head Palace. If they see any smoke coming out, they will immediately rush over and scatter."
"Understood." Cheng Jin responded, he turned and said to the rest of the people below him: "Sian, Ping Yi, tonight, the two of you will be hiding on the west side of County Head Palace, be clever, and don't miss anything."
"This subordinate understands!" The two Hidden Arrow Crew s named Si An and Ping Yi both intervened and paid their respects.
