Chapter 156: Plundering Money
Gu Lingyue curled her lips and said, "Then tell me where your old emperor is now. This immortal wants to hear if you are lying. If you are not lying, this immortal will not only not punish you, but also help you reach paradise sooner. If you are lying, then this immortal will definitely not let you off easily."
Upon hearing this, Long Shang didn't say anything. He just looked at Gu Lingyue with a doting expression and let her play.
When the eunuch heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled and kowtowed even harder.
"My two gods, it's not that I won't tell you, it's that I really don't know which concubine's palace the emperor will stay in tonight.
I am just a humble servant, how can I dare to inquire about the emperor's affairs?"
Gu Lingyue frowned when she saw this.
It seems that this eunuch really doesn't know where the Emperor of Western Shu is.
Gu Lingyue didn't even ask about the other eunuch. If one of them didn't know, the other certainly wouldn't know either.
Without saying a word, Long Shang directly took the lives of the two eunuchs, then took off their clothes, put on one himself, and handed one to Gu Lingyue.
How many people who can survive in a big dyeing factory like the palace are clean?
The two men changed their clothes, left the space, and then walked calmly towards the imperial study. During this time, Gu Lingyue moved the bodies of the two eunuchs out from a deserted place.
Arrived at the door of the imperial study.
There was no one here at the moment. They looked around, opened the door and walked in.
The Emperor of Western Shu was not in the imperial study, and the two men searched the study for a long time but found nothing.
Finally, Gu Lingyue put all the valuable things that caught her eye into the space before leaving.
They didn't know which concubine the Emperor of Western Shu would visit tonight, but according to convention, on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the emperor had to stay in the Queen's room, so the two decided to go to the palace where the Queen lived.
When we arrived at the palace where the Queen of Western Shu lived, we saw two palace maids guarding the door and the lights in the bedroom were dim.
Long Shang and Gu Lingyue flew onto the roof, lifted the tiles and looked inside, and saw that there was only a woman sleeping on the phoenix bed.
Thinking that the queen was Kou Dan's mother, and adhering to the principle of not coming empty-handed, Gu Lingyue took out a bag of medicine powder from the space and threw it inside.
Seeing this, Long Shang did not object.
The two men jumped down from the roof, knocked out the two palace maids at the door one by one, and then entered the queen's bedroom.
Long Shang searched the bedroom for anything useful, while Gu Lingyue was responsible for collecting things.
After collecting all the things in the bedroom, Long Shang didn't find anything suspicious. The two of them left the bedroom and searched the queen's palace again.
Since the things were collected, the Queen's private treasury was also taken into Gu Lingyue's pocket.
Seeing that it was getting late, the two decided that they could not go to the palace in vain, so they simply went to the treasury of Western Shu first.
The treasury was heavily guarded, and if they broke through it alone, it would definitely attract the imperial guards. In the end, the two decided to use medicine to attack.
Gu Lingyue mixed some bewitching herbs from the space and took them out, lighting them not far from the national treasury. Suddenly, thick smoke came out.
She then took out two antidotes from the space and swallowed one each with Long Shang, waiting for the Western Shu Imperial Guards to fall.
"Where's this smoke coming from?" someone said when he noticed thick smoke coming towards him.
"Look, is there a fire somewhere?"
"Cough cough cough ~ This smoke has..."
Before he could finish his words, everyone fell down one by one.
Gu Lingyue and Long Shang walked out swaggeringly and came to the door of the treasury.
The door of the warehouse was also locked with a copper lock, and there was a room not far away that was not much smaller than the treasury, which was also locked.
Gu Lingyue took out a small piece of wire from the space, easily opened the door of the warehouse and walked in.
Although Western Shu is not as big as Tianqi, the things in its treasury are no less than those of Tianqi.
Rows of shelves are filled with various jades, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and other items, as well as boxes of gold, silver and cloth.
After she put everything into the space, the two of them walked out of the warehouse and went next door.
When Gu Lingyue opened the copper lock next door and walked in, she didn't expect that this was actually the private vault of the Emperor of Western Shu.
Not only are the things inside just as abundant as those in the warehouse next door, but they are even better than those in the warehouse next door.
Gu Lingyuele’s eyes almost narrowed.
Long Shang looked at her and found her expression amusing. "Why don't we go somewhere else?"
Since it has been taken over anyway, there is no harm in emptying the Western Shu Imperial Palace.
"Okay!" Gu Lingyue also thought this suggestion was good. This way she would have money to upgrade her space.
She quickly put everything in the warehouse into the space, and then headed towards another palace.
Both of them were wearing eunuch's clothes, so they didn't have to be too shy when walking around the Western Shu Imperial Palace. When they arrived at a palace, they put drugs to knock out the gatekeepers and the people inside, and then went in to loot money.
He collected things from three palaces in succession, and when he arrived at a place called Huayu Palace, he knocked out the palace maid at the door. The two walked in and found that there was no one inside.
As usual, Gu Lingyue collected the things while Long Shang began to search for any suspicious places.
After Gu Lingyue put all the other things in the bedroom into the space, Long Shang had basically finished checking them, leaving only a set of Huanghuali Wanli cabinets.
The two of them walked up to the cabinet at the same time, and before Gu Lingyue could put the cabinet into the space, the cabinet door opened from the inside.
Gu Lingyue and Long Shang hesitated at the same time. They didn't expect that Kou Jing was still alive, and there was a secret passage inside the cabinet.
At the same time, Kou Jing looked up at Gu Lingyue and Long Shang in shock, and then it happened in an instant.
She pulled out a box from her sleeve, opened it, and threw it towards Long Shang and Gu Lingyue, "Go to hell!!"
At this time, several poisonous insects flew towards Gu Lingyue and Long Shang.
Gu Lingyue also quickly took out a handful of medicine powder from the space and threw it at the insect.
Long Shang even slapped out with his palm, because Kou Jing had just crawled out of the secret passage with her upper body exposed. This time, the palm slapped directly on Kou Jing's head, and her brains were slapped out.
Just a moment ago, Kou Jing said she wanted to kill Long Shang and Gu Lingyue, but she didn't expect that they would be dead the next moment.
The people behind her saw that something was wrong and left quickly.
Long Shang and Gu Lingyue also discovered that there was someone under the cave. Without thinking, they jumped into the cave and chased after the person. Unfortunately, there were several paths in the cave. Because they were not familiar with the roads, they were unable to catch up with the person in the end.
However, since they had already left the palace, the two did not go back, but instead followed a road to see where it led.
The last two people came out outside the city, not far from the entrance to the Secret Forest of Death.
With this inference, the two guessed that the man just now should be the Western Shu State Master, but unfortunately he escaped again.
Although the gates of the Western Shu capital had not been opened yet, it was approaching the hour of Yin, a time when people were sleepy and the guards on the city walls were also dozing off. Long Shang and Gu Lingyue quietly jumped onto the city walls and entered the capital.
When the two returned to the yard where Yunqi and others lived, everyone had already packed up and prepared to leave.
Long Shang asked everyone to separate after daybreak and then stay at Feng Ke Lai.
After he and Gu Lingyue returned to Feng Ke Lai, they went straight back to their room and entered the space.
Gu Lingyue couldn't stop smiling when she saw the seven zeros after the five in her money box.
"I didn't know it would be like this after upgrading the space. I'm kind of looking forward to it."
As she spoke, she looked at her merit frame.
Sure enough, her merit points increased a lot, but she was still far from being able to upgrade again.
Long Shang's heart was beating fast. He hoped that Gu Lingyue's space could be upgraded, but he was also afraid of the upgrade.
He was also very conflicted.
Finally, the two returned to their room, washed up, and went to bed to rest. By the way, they waited until it was completely light before going to find the shopkeeper to give him the letter and visit their boss.
At this time, the palace was in chaos.
The national treasury was robbed, the emperor and empress's private treasury was also robbed, even the bedrooms of several concubines were affected, and the princess was killed!
One thing after another, the enemy made such a big move, but they didn't even know what the enemy looked like.
Especially the King of Western Shu, he didn't expect that with so many imperial guards in the palace, his entire house would be raided. He was so angry that he ordered that the thieves must be caught no matter what the cost!
As a result, the entire capital of Western Shu was placed under martial law, and officers and soldiers searched the city everywhere, arresting all suspicious people.
According to Long Shang's arrangement, Yunqi and others moved into Fengkelai at dawn. Long Shang did not make any further arrangements, so everyone stayed in the room waiting for orders.
Long Shang and Gu Lingyue slept until noon. After washing and putting on makeup, they left the space.
When Long Shang opened the door, the door opposite them also opened from the inside and Yunshui walked out.
He had seen Long Shang and Gu Lingyue putting on makeup before, so he knew that the bearded man in front of him was his master.
"master!"
All of them lived very close to Long Shang and his room, especially Yun Shui and Yun Yi, who lived right across from Long Shang and Gu Lingyue.
Long Shang nodded, "Is everyone here?"
"Yes." Yunshui answered respectfully.
"Stay where you are."
After saying this lightly, Long Shang took Gu Lingyue out of the room and walked towards the lobby of the inn. Halfway, they met the waiter who greeted them.
"The two guests are finally back. Our boss has been talking about you guys." When the innkeeper saw Long Shang and Gu Lingyue, he greeted them excitedly.
"It just so happens that we also have something to ask your boss." Gu Lingyue said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the waiter quickly said, "Please follow me, both of you."
As soon as they reached the hall, the waiter shouted to the shopkeeper standing there, "Shopkeeper, I'm bringing two guests to you."
Gu Lingyue found it a little funny. She didn't expect this guy to be so smart.
The shopkeeper saw Gu Lingyue and Long Shang and hurried over to greet them. "You two are finally back. Our boss has been wanting to see you for a long time. I'll send someone to invite our boss over."
"Thank you, boss." Gu Lingyue nodded slightly.
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Gu Lingyue guessed that their boss must have known that she had saved Shui Junfeng, so she did not take out the letter that the shopkeeper of Wuyue City had written to their boss.
The shopkeeper asked the waiter to ask Gu Lingyue and Long Shang to go back to the room first, and he hurried out.
In half an incense stick of time, he brought a middle-aged man to the door of Gu Lingyue's room. Yunshui was guarding the door at this time.
The shopkeeper was stunned when he saw this. It turned out that the guests who came to stay today were subordinates of the two guests in the room.
When he first met the two guests, although they looked ordinary, the intimidation they exuded made him feel that they were definitely not as simple as they seemed.
"Sir, this is our boss." The shopkeeper explained with a smile.
The middle-aged man also cupped his hands, his face full of sincerity, "My dear brother, I am the owner of Feng Ke Lai, and I have come specially to meet you two distinguished guests."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Gu Lingyue said to the middle-aged man at the door with a smile on her face, "Boss Chi, you are too polite. Please come in."
As she spoke, Gu Lingyue moved aside to let Chi Jingfu enter the house.
Chi Jingfu was stunned.
He didn't expect that the lady in front of him actually knew his last name was Chi, but he quickly figured it out.
Just by looking at the guards at the door, you can tell that their master must be no ordinary person, so wanting to know his last name is no big deal.
What's more, maybe it wouldn't matter if their son told them.
"Thank you, Madam."
Chi Jingfu bowed to Gu Lingyue and followed Gu Lingyue into the room.
Yunshui closed the door again and the innkeeper retreated.
At this time, in the room, Long Shang saw Chi Jingfu stand up from the stool and nodded at him.
Chi Jingfu was secretly shocked when he saw that although the man in the room had a big beard, he exuded a domineering aura.
He bowed to Long Shang and said, "My name is Chi Jingfu. Thank you, brother, and your younger brother for saving my son's life."
He glanced into the room and saw that there was no one else in the room except the couple in front of him, so he asked politely, "Excuse me, brother, where is the other little brother who saved my son?"
His son had sent someone to bring him a letter two days ago, giving him a general account of what had happened in Wuyue City. He also specifically reminded him that if his benefactor arrived at their "Feng Ke Lai", he must treat them well and provide them with two broads. However, at this time, he only saw a bearded man, but not the other little brother, but there was a lady.
"It was my wife who saved your son, not me." Long Shang looked at Gu Lingyue with pride.
Chi Jingfu looked at Gu Lingyue in shock.
It turned out that the little brother his son was talking about was a person dressed as a lady. It would be a bit rude of him to say that!
Chi Jingfu immediately bowed to Gu Lingyue and said, "I apologize for being rude. Thank you, Madam, for saving my son."
Gu Lingyue smiled and waved her hand, "Boss Chi, you're welcome. It's also because your son and I are destined to be together."
Upon hearing this, Chi Jingfu said cheerfully, "If you two don't mind, please come to my house. I have already asked someone to prepare wine and food. I hope you will come and enjoy it."
Seeing this, Long Shang said to Chi Jingfu, "No need to eat. We are here to find Boss Chi because we have something to ask him."
Chi Jingfu was startled when he heard this, then said, "I wonder what you two want to know? As long as I know something, I will do my best to tell you everything I know."
