Inside the house, Yue Dansheng frowned, the house was a mess, one courtyard was occupied by several families, there were old and young, all sorts of people. They chose to settle in here to make it easier for them to hide, but Zhong Ziyu and Wei Chou were always noisy, causing the people around to find it hard to not notice them.

In the end, it was all because of his high profile.

Calming himself down, Liu Wei told everyone about what he had seen on the way out. In short, he told them to be on guard and not to reveal anything.

After the short meeting, no one stayed in the house. Wu Hong had found a job at the dock yesterday and was going to start work today.

The wood merchant that Rong Ling was pretending to be, would bring Yue Dansheng, the shopkeeper, and a boy, Liu Wei, to the various large wood shops to look at the goods. As for Wei Chou and Zhong Ziyu, they were disguised as father and son who came to visit from the countryside. Zhong Ziyu's face was already pale white, and looked weak and frail.

At the same time, at the 23rd house on the Little Well Street, Yang Qing had already prepared food for his son and was currently sitting by his bed, feeding him.

The child had just eaten two mouthfuls when there was a knock on the door outside. Yang Qing went out to open the door and saw that it was Lu Yi.

Yang Qing's husband was a bad gambler and didn't come home for a few days. Lu Yi, on the other hand, lived next door to a foreman.

Lu Yi took good care of her.

Lu Yi saw Yang Qing and gave his bag to her.

Yang Qing didn't take it and said coldly, "I don't need it, take it."

Lu Yi forced it onto her and said with a smile, "Isn't the child sick? It's not like I'm giving it to you."

Yang Qing still didn't pick up.

At this moment, his son's voice came from inside the house, "Mother, is father back?"

Your father is probably not sleeping on the skin of some little girl's stomach. Do you still remember that he has a wife and children at home?

Yang Qing's heart was on fire. He thought of another thing and asked: "Brother Lu, recently outside, is it not peaceful?"

Lu Yi was surprised for a moment, then shook his head: "Nothing is too peaceful, why do you ask?"

Yang Qing didn't think that the unfamiliar young master would lie to her, so he asked again: "Really?"

Lu Yi looked at Yang Qing for a while, then said hesitantly, "There are many strangers on the streets and many beggars. Maybe there is some famine in the nearby towns?"

Yang Qing pursed his lips, then turned around and went back into his room. When he came out again, he had a bag in his hand.

She handed the scented sachet to Lu Yi: "This is the sachet I promised Eastern City's Shopkeeper Zhou to sew. The child is too sick to get out of bed, I can't leave here. I'll have to trouble Big Brother Lu to come over for me before work in the afternoon." He then took out a silver tael and said, "Treat this as running money."

Lu Yi laughed, took the scented sachet but didn't take the money. He even stuffed his waist purse into Yang Qing's arms, turned his head and said, "Let's go."

"Eh, you …" Yang Qing chased after him, not wanting to receive any more of his kindness.

However, Lu Yi had gone back to the next room and even closed the door. No matter how hard Yang Qing tried, he couldn't open the door.

Yang Qing stood at the door and shook his fingers. Previously, in order to get married to her husband, she had torn off all of her old friends in Xiufang. Now that she had become like this, she could not be blamed on anyone but herself.

However, she was not worthy of Lu Yi at all.

In the afternoon, Lu Yi took the scented sachet with him and went to the eastern city. When he arrived at the Zhou's scented powder shop, the shopkeeper wasn't there. Lu Yi didn't recklessly give the scented sachet to others, but waited at the entrance.

Only when it was almost time for him to start working did he see that Shopkeeper Zhou, who was carrying a young maid and a skirt, had returned.

Lu Yi was sure that it was Shopkeeper Zhou. Without saying anything, he directly handed the scented sachet in his hand to her.

Shopkeeper Zhou didn't understand what was going on, but when she saw the green bamboo pattern embroidered on the scented sachet and smelled the sweet fragrance of the bamboo shoot flowers, she was startled. She looked around vigilantly and asked in a low voice, "This big brother, may I ask who you are …"

Lu Yi shook his head: "Someone gave me some silver and asked me to help deliver it. I don't know about anything else, but the thing has been delivered and I've taken the silver. Let's go." Finished speaking, Lu Yi turned his head and quickly left.

Shopkeeper Zhou watched him leave in a hurry. He held the scented sachet in his hand and rubbed it twice. It was unknown as to what he was thinking.

In recent days, Lu Yi's small team of fortifications received a small building in the outer palace of the Qin. It was during this busy time, and Lu Yi went late in the afternoon. He took the initiative to apologize to his brothers, saying that there was something at home that they didn't take seriously nor care of.

After finishing the last fortifications at night, everyone said their goodbyes and went back to their own homes. However, Lu Yi didn't go back to his own home, but instead went around the city, avoiding the patrolling guards and going into the small Taoist temple on the outskirts of the city.

The temple's little Daoist was about to lock the door. Seeing Lu Yi coming over, he immediately became alert and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

"I want to see the marshal." Lu Yi said bluntly.

The temple boy looked behind him and confirmed that he had no tail. Then, he brought him in with a dark face.

At the back of the monastery, there was a shed filled with cattle grass. He lifted the hayloft on top of the shed and revealed a cellar door beneath it.

Lu Yi hurriedly went down the door and walked along the passage for a long time before finally arriving at the innermost secret room.

Faintly hearing voices in the secret room, Lu Yi coughed and made a sound.

Not long later, the doors to the secret chamber opened. The former Grand Marshal of the Azure Continent's garrison came out with a cold expression and a long sword in his hand.

Lu Yi cupped his hands in a greeting to Marshal Leng. Just as he was about to speak, another person walked out from the secret chamber. This person was young, but his eyes were cold and filled with hostility. The weapon in his hand was already unsheathed.

Marshal Leng waved his hand at the person inside the room and then asked Lu Yi, "Why are you here at this time? What did the Qin Clan find out? "

Lu Yi shook his head and looked at the vicious youth in the secret room. He remembered that this man was called Fu Zihan, Fu Zichen's younger brother.

After Fu Zichen's death, he had always been following Marshal Leng.

Lu Yi said, "Marshal, Yang Qing used the Baxiu Studio's internal communication method. She has been estranged from the Soo Garden for a long time, so it is impossible for them to suddenly contact each other. I suspect that if someone finds her, I will continue to monitor her, but I think the person you are waiting for might be here."
