If the earthen jar could talk, the progress bar on it would definitely curse.
It should have been the turn of the progress bar on the earthen jar a long time ago. Unfortunately, after being delayed by various things, it became the last.
Xu Bai picked up the earthen jar and sat back down. He began to work on the progress bar.
He had to hurry up and obtain more skills so that he could have more protection.
But sometimes, things just didn’t go as he wished. The jar seemed to have a curse that prevented him from concentrating.
“Plop…’
A voice rang out. A carrier pigeon flapped its wings and landed at Xu Bails door.
“Hmm?”
Looking at the pigeon at the door, Xu Bai frowned. He put the jar back to its original place, then went to the door and grabbed the pigeon.
There was a paper roll tied to the pigeon’s leg. Inside was a letter.
When Xu Bai opened the letter, the contents entered his eyes…
“Sir, something big is about to happen at the Yin Posthouse. I heard that someone has taken a fancy to the Yin Posthouse and wants to destroy it in one fell swoop.”
The content was very simple. It said that someone wanted to destroy the Yin Posthouse, and the source of this letter was Liu Er.
Ever since Xu Bai came to Yunlai Mansion, he had asked Liu Er to manage these things. He had never asked about it. Now that he had received this news, he could not help but frown.
“It seems that there is a big connection between this problem and this time.”Xu Bai placed the letter on the table and continued to read it from top to bottom, deep in thought.
After a while, he figured out the reason. He took out a piece of paper and wrote on it with a brush.
“The Yin Posthouse has been sealed off. Tell all the posthumans not to come. You should return to the government office as well. As for when it will open next time, just wait for the notice.”
After doing all this, he tied the letter to the pigeon’s leg and walked to the door. He lifted his hand slightly and released the pigeon.
Looking at the messenger pigeon slowly flying away, Xu Bails lips curled into a cold smile. He turned around and returned to his room, sitting back on his chair.
He had long seen through the other party’s actions.
He wanted to use this action to test if they knew the inside story. If he went to the Yin Posthouse, it meant that he didn’t know. If he didn’t go, it meant that he knew.
But could he go?
Obviously, he couldn’t go.
Although it was just a test, if they really went, there would be fewer people in Yunlai Mansion. Once there were fewer people, the result would be obvious.
As for why he called Liu Er back, it was actually very simple. Xu Bai was telling him directly that he did not need him to test him. It was just as he had guessed.
He already knew what he was thinking.
It was the time to play the cards openly. There was no need to hide it. If he said that he knew openly, it would depend on what method the other party used.
Xu Bai took a sip from his teacup, satisfied.
Previously, when they were in the open and the other party was in the dark, that feeling was as uncomfortable as it could be.
Now, it was different. As long as the other party wanted to kill Yun Zihai, they would have to go through them.
Xu Bai and the others were not afraid of a head-on clash.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai put down his teacup and continued to check the progress bar.
Yin Posthouse.
Liu Er packed up his luggage, put up a notice outside, and left quickly.
Outside the Yin Posthouse, a few figures flashed past.
It was not until Liu Er’s back disappeared at the end that they looked at each other and left.
After these people left, they walked through many winding paths and some secret passages. Finally, they arrived at a secret room.
In the room, the black-robed man was waiting.
As soon as these people arrived, they immediately told the black-robed man the news.
The black-robed man didn’t say much. He waved these people away and waited quietly in the room.
He kept lowering his head and seemed to be thinking about something.
After a long time, he raised his head and took a deep breath.
“I still can’t make a move. I’m the last resort that His Majesty planted. If I can’t find the location of all the tunnels in Yunlai Mansion, my exposure will be useless.”The black-robed man thought to himself,” If a steward dies, another steward will come. Only by destroying all the tunnels in Yunlai Mansion can we settle this once and for all.”
The Emperor of Great Chu was far-sighted. He did not just have a plan. The black-robed man was the second plan.
The black-robed man’s ultimate goal was to find the location of all the tunnels in Yunlai Mansion.
Unfortunately, he only knew one place.
Unless he captured all of the masked man’s other subordinates, he might be able to ask.
However, as long as one person did not say anything, the problem could not be completely solved.
Therefore, in the current situation, the black-robed man decided not to expose himself and act according to the situation.
In the secret room, the black-robed man thought for a while. After thinking it through, he stood up and left.
After leaving the room, he walked a long way and finally arrived at the masked man’s residence.
“Milord, the news has been received. They do know our movements.”The black-robed man bowed.
The masked man was resting with his eyes closed. When the black-robed man spoke, he finally came back to his senses and opened his eyes.
There was a trace of coldness in his eyes.
“As I expected, they really already know. It seems that things are not easy to handle. “The masked man sighed.
The black-robed man did not speak. He kept his head lowered. His eyes, which were covered by the black robe, flashed with an inexplicable light. “Milord, what plan have you come up with?”
After thinking for a long time, the black-robed man decided to ask..
