Mortal Bones

That night.

Xu Taiping and Huang Que, who were drunk, returned to the inn.

But just as he was about to go upstairs, two beggars suddenly stopped him and held out their broken bowls to him and said:

"Sir, please be kind and give me two copper coins."

"Sir, we haven't eaten for several days."

"Get lost, you are begging for food on your uncle's head, are you looking for a fight?"

The drunk Huang Que raised his fist at the two.

But the two beggars were not scared away, and they still followed them chattering.

"Don't follow us."

Xu Taiping turned back and glared at the two, deliberately releasing some breath fluctuations.

The two beggars were frightened and took a few steps back.

But one of the younger beggars quickly grabbed a handful of mud on the ground when Xu Taiping turned around, and smeared it on Xu Taiping.

"I'll teach you rich people to look down on others!"

After throwing down this sentence, the two beggars turned around and ran with their bowls and sticks.

"Forget it, go back and wash up, don't bother with them."

Just as Xu Taiping was about to chase him, the yellow bird grabbed him, hooked his shoulder and pushed him into the inn.

"Okay."

Xu Taiping glanced at the two men who were fleeing, and then nodded.

...

In the inn room.

Xu Taiping changed his dirty clothes that were stained with mud.

But he didn't wash the clothes immediately, but took out a muddy note from his pocket.

Unfolding the note, there was a line of words clearly written on it:

"Everything is ready, see you at the Fulu Street Sugar Shop tomorrow at 5 pm."

After reading it, Xu Taiping immediately condensed flames on his fingertips and burned the note to ashes.

"After I go back this time, I have to thank my eighth senior brother."

He sighed.

That's right, the two people I just met at the door of the inn were from the Beggars' Gang founded by his eighth senior brother.

As early as the first day he arrived in the capital, he handed the purse given to him by his eighth senior brother to a beggar who looked reliable.

At first, he just thought he was doing a favor for his eighth senior brother and didn't think too much about it.

But he never thought that after contacting the upper echelons of the Beggars' Gang, he found that this seemingly inconspicuous gang actually had countless spies in the capital of Wujiu Country.

In order to thank him for the favor of passing on the message, the Beggars' Gang helped him collect a lot of useful information in the capital these days, such as the time when the guards at the city gate changed shifts, where there were hiding places, etc.

"Now the city and the outside of the city have communicated well. As long as we can rescue the Sixth Princess in the Imperial City tomorrow, we can transport her out of the Imperial City without anyone noticing."

He said to himself while changing his clothes.

"The biggest trouble now is how to hold back the yellow bird."

Then Xu Taiping, who had changed his clothes, looked out the window.

"Taiping, don't forget tonight, we still have to send a heavy fog to this imperial city."

At this time, the voice of Fairy Lingyue suddenly sounded in Xu Taiping's mind.

"I'll prepare now."

Xu Taiping nodded, then took out a Qi-gathering pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

...

The next morning.

A heavy fog covered the imperial city and a large area around it.

However, the capital of Wujiu Kingdom is in the foggy season, so no one thinks there is anything wrong with this heavy fog.

Hongyun Restaurant, private room.

"Taiping, you've been in the toilet for so long, are you angry and secretly wiping tears?"

The yellow bird at the table by the window looked at Xu Taiping who had returned to the room and joked with a smile.

"Wash your face."

Xu Taiping replied lightly.

While speaking, he sat down on a chair opposite the yellow bird.

There was a chessboard and two boxes of black and white chess pieces on the table for the two of them.

"It's a deal, if you lose this round again, you will go to Wanhua Tower with me tonight."

While speaking, Huang Que grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the chess box and put his hand on the chessboard.

Xu Taiping took out two chess pieces from the chess box.

Huang Que let go and saw that it was an even number, so he put the box of white pieces next to him and said:

"You go first."

Xu Taiping nodded, then picked up a black piece from the black chess box, and pressed it on the chessboard without hesitation.

"Three three?"

Huang Que glanced at the position of the chess piece, then grinned and said:

"It seems that Taiping, you are not very convinced in the last round. You took the lead and played three three. Are you going to fight me directly?"

While speaking, he also dropped a piece.

Xu Taiping made a "click" and dropped another piece.

This piece landed directly on Tianyuan.

Huang Que's originally cynical face suddenly became serious, and he began to touch his chin and think seriously.

"Brother Huang Que, if I win this round, can you give me one of your Nine Prefectures' Unrestricted Talisman?"

Xu Taiping asked Huang Que with a smile.

The Nine Prefectures' Unrestricted Talisman is a kind of identity certificate, and only cultivators recognized by the Nine Prefectures can get it.

"Okay."

Huang Que grinned, then picked up a chess piece and pressed it on the chessboard and said:

"But the premise is that you can beat me!"

So there was fog outside the window, and the sound of chess pieces falling inside the window.

And in the sound of chess pieces falling, a figure hurriedly walked out of the restaurant and walked quickly towards the direction of the imperial city.

Look at that figure from behind, isn't it Xu Taiping, or who is it?

"Sister Lingyue, I lost the first two games. Can you beat him in this game?"

In the heavy fog, Xu Taiping put on a human skin mask and asked Fairy Lingyue in his heart.

At this time, he was just using his clone's eyes to show him the chess moves. The real chess player was Fairy Lingyue in the gourd.

"Don't worry, I won't kill him until he vomits three liters of blood."

Fairy Lingyue in the gourd is also sitting in front of a chessboard at this moment.

The chess game on the chessboard is exactly the same as in the restaurant.

"Then leave it to Sister Lingyue. My clone can only hold on for half a stick of incense."

Xu Taiping nodded, then took out the hiding grass from the gourd and held it in his palm, and then disappeared from the place.
