Chapter 169 A piece of cake
The inner city of Wei.
The environment here is completely different from that in the outer city.
If the outer city is full of all kinds of people, then the inner city can be said to be the gathering place of princes and nobles, where the luxury and solemnity intertwined with power and wealth are displayed everywhere.
The servants who came and went were all dressed in uniform, busy but orderly, holding either delicacies or exquisite gift boxes in their hands, all to satisfy their masters' luxurious lifestyle and frequent social engagements.
Several people used the token to successfully enter the inner city. Their cheap attire was inevitably despised, but this did not stop them from looking around shamelessly.
"The Inner City really lives up to its reputation!" Yu Xiaoliu said with shining eyes.
"It's so beautiful..." Fang Xin was also shocked. Although the Fang family was a big family in the outer city, Fang Sihui had always been frugal and did not buy any luxurious things at home.
Zi Xiaoya and Lu Yuguan didn't show any expression. On the one hand, they had indeed seen a lot, and on the other hand, they were still pretending to be fools.
Yu Xiaoliu turned his head to look at Fang Xin, and the shyness on his face became even more intense.
"Miss Fang, shall I take you to see a doctor?" Yu Xiaoliu asked.
"Uh..." Fang Xin stammered, not knowing what excuse to make to slip away.
Now that they have entered the inner city, the most urgent thing is to find a place to hide and find out the news about the Wei Tianlao. Unfortunately, Yu Xiaoliu, the tool, is still entangled with the three of them.
Lu Yuguan noticed Fang Xin's embarrassment, and after a moment's thought, he grinned foolishly at Yu Xiaoliu.
He raised his hands and waved them in the air, mumbling incoherently: "Uncle Xiaoliu! Look, birds, birds are flying..." As he spoke, he deliberately moved in front of Yu Xiaoliu, staggering and almost bumping into Yu Xiaoliu.
Yu Xiaoliu was a little overwhelmed by his sudden action and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Zi Xiaoya seized the opportunity, pulled Fang Xin over, and pretended to be panicked and shouted, "Aunt... chase the birds!" As she spoke, she pulled Fang Xin into a small alley nearby.
"Miss Fang!"
Just as Yu Xiaoliu was about to catch up, Lu Yuguan stuck to him like a piece of taffy, saying something incomprehensible, just to prevent Yu Xiaoliu from getting away.
Fang Xin and Zi Xiaoya turned around in the alley, and only stopped after making sure that Yu Xiaoliu had not caught up with them, and leaned against the wall, panting.
"I finally got rid of him. This guy looks honest, but I didn't expect him to be so difficult to deal with." Zi Xiaoya complained.
Fang Xin asked worriedly, "What should we do, Master Lu?"
While they were talking, Lu Yuguan had already caught up.
"He came so soon? Yuguanlang, how did you get rid of him?" Zi Xiaoya asked.
"Don't worry about it." Lu Yuguan waved his hand and said.
If he hadn't thought quickly and brought the Thousand Machine Ice Silkworm Yarn and pretended to know nothing, who knows how long he would have had to deal with Yu Xiaoliu.
Before it got dark, several people shuttled through the narrow alleys, carefully searching for the location of the sky prison.
"It should be almost there," Lu Yuguan muttered, staring out at the alley. "Behind the government office on the right side of the capital is where the prison is. Unfortunately, there are a lot of patrols, so it's hard to get close."
"Then when do we start?" Zi Xiaoya couldn't help wiping her palms.
"Don't be impatient, there is only one last step left." Lu Yuguan said mysteriously.
"what?"
The two girls stared at him curiously.
Lu Yuguan wiped the dust off his face, took out the Thousand Machine Ice Silk Yarn again and said, "Just wait and see. Only men understand men..."
Fang Xin was completely bewildered, and Zi Xiaoya was even more confused.
"Don't look at me like that, I'll be shy!" Lu Yuguan put on the Thousand Machine Ice Silk Veil, and his handsome face instantly became charming.
He pulled up his shirt, revealing his white shoulders, then walked out with a twist of his waist.
Zi Xiaoya was impressed by this smooth little combo and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Zhao Datou, ah Zhao Datou.
What kind of monster did you encounter?
In less than half an hour, Lu Yuguan, who had disguised himself, brought several patrolling demon cultivators into the alley. They all fell unconscious under Zi Xiaoya's fists and kicks.
Time was running out, so Lu Yuguan and Zi Xiaoya quickly changed their clothes, but Fang Xin was too timid to do anything.
"Mr. Lu, can we do this?" Fang Xin asked worriedly.
"Of course not. If we go there so blatantly, no one will believe us." Lu Yuguan shook his head.
Zi Xiaoya raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? What weird tricks do you have, kid?"
"Don't be impatient. Just do the whole act. Now we are still missing the most crucial step." Lu Yuguan looked at Fang Xin meaningfully, which made the little girl feel uneasy.
As night fell, the temperature gradually dropped, and the demon cultivators guarding the sky prison also began to feel a little sleepy.
Lu Yuguan and Zi Xiaoya transformed into demon soldiers, tied up the disheveled Fang Xin with a rope, and brought her to the gate of the sky prison.
"Stop, what are you doing!"
Lu Yuguan tilted his head so that his face could not be seen clearly. He said in a muffled voice, "The higher-ups have captured a new prisoner. They said he would be locked up in the lowest level and kept under strict guard!" After saying that, he glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Fang Xin who was tied up with ropes.
Fang Xin lowered her head at this moment, her hair covered her face like a tangled mess, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was frightened by this gloomy prison.
The demon cultivator guarding the gate frowned, held his spear horizontally, blocked their way, and looked at them suspiciously: "Why didn't you receive any news during the day?"
Lu Yuguan's heart tightened, but he remained calm. He just sneered, "Are you questioning the orders from above? Can you bear the responsibility for delaying things?"
As he spoke, he pointed his thumb at Fang Xin behind him and said, "This is an important person. Does she know about the Fang family?"
"The Fang family?" The two demon cultivators had obviously heard something about it, and their ears immediately pricked up.
"Lord Ji Xian has personally designated this person for confiscation. He's one of the remnants," Lu Yuguan shouted. "The higher-ups have said that to prevent anyone from rescuing him, they've specifically instructed that he be brought in secretly. No word is allowed to leak out!"
Zi Xiaoya echoed, "That's right, that's right. We two brothers rode at full speed all the way here, barely catching our breath. If you dawdle any longer and something goes wrong, you'll be in trouble!"
The demon soldier listened to their words, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face, his eyes swept back and forth between the three people, but he still did not put down the spear in his hand.
Seeing this, Lu Yuguan secretly groaned in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface.
Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, a loud noise suddenly came from inside the prison, as if some prisoners were making trouble.
"What happened?!"
The two gatekeepers' expressions changed and they turned to look inside.
Lu Yuguan quickly exchanged glances with Zi Xiaoya.
The two men understood each other and stretched out their swords, slashing directly at the unprotected neck, instantly knocking out the hesitant gatekeeper.
Zi Xiaoya kicked the guard on the butt, leaving a dirty footprint.
"What kind of guards are there in the Heavenly Prison? It seems they are just so-so!"
"A piece of cake!"
