Chapter 2: Eighth-Rank Gu Master
"Sweet candy, sweet candy~"

"Fried tongs, fried tongs~"

“Crab meat dumplings, crab meat dumplings~”

"... "

Wearing a white and green robe, Wei An slowed down his pace, walked through the strong atmosphere of the city, and his eyes wandered around the streets and alleys.

Turning from Que'er Lane to Guangnan Street, he stopped on a stone arch bridge and looked at a flat-bottomed canal boat in the distance. The boatmen were shouting and lowering the mast together to cross the bridge.

The fresh and real breath of life was intertwined with the memories of the previous life, and for a moment, Wei An felt a little relaxed.

In just a moment, he faced a life-threatening crisis. He took a deep breath, his brows furrowed in solemnity. He glanced left and right, confirming his route, and was about to take a step...

A sudden gust of evil wind arose!
The wind was so strong and fast that people could not open their eyes. There were two or three young children on the bridge. Thanks to their parents for protecting them, they would have been blown into the river.

"Why is there such a strong evil wind?!"

"Mother! Mother!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Lower the mast!"

"Herodus~"

"... "

Shouts, shouts, human voices, and horse neighs all came at the same time!
"thump!"

"It fell into the water! The escort vehicle fell into the water!"

"Tax silver! Tax silver!"

"... "

Wei An, who was about to walk off the bridge, only heard another burst of chaos behind him.

"boom!"

Before he could look back, a loud bang shook Chang'an!

After experiencing the bombardment of firecrackers and salutes, Wei An subconsciously covered his ears, but it was too late, and his soul seemed to be shaken out of his body.

"Wow~"

Water droplets splashed and fell from all directions, even the new clothes I changed into this morning were wet.

"Wow~Wow~"

"The fire is coming! The fire is coming!"

"Plop! Plop!"

"... "

The children were crying and shouting, and the sound of them falling into the water made the situation even more chaotic!
A large cloud of thick white smoke spread from one place on the water surface to all directions. Soon, the situation on the water surface could no longer be seen clearly.

On both sides of the bridge, at Que'er Lane and Guangnan Street, pedestrians and people gathered, craning their necks to watch the excitement.

Wei An had no intention of watching the fun. He endured the dizziness and tinnitus and quickly left the scene.

He didn't notice that a man in special attire appeared at his previous position the next moment after he left the stone arch bridge. He chased his back twice, then looked at the chaotic scene, the water surface covered by thick smoke, and the Royal Sword Guards salvaging tax silver in the water. Finally, he chose to deal with this side first.

Since taxes and silver are involved, this case will probably reach the top of the government, it's going to be a big deal!

There is no need to call for help. The noise is too loud and the night watchman on patrol during the day will definitely come to check.

Just then, two night watchmen leaped over from the roof.

"Liu Yinluo, do you have a mission?" Song Tingfeng asked with a frown as he looked at Liu Hong who was carrying an empty box ashore.

Liu Hong plays the silver gong, and he and his partner Zhu Guangxiao play the bronze gongs, belonging to different gold gongs.

According to the night watchman regulations, the silver gong should participate in day and night patrols, but in reality this work is done by the copper gong.

What's more, Liu Yinluo is far away from their jurisdiction.

Being here, he wouldn't be absent from work in broad daylight, right? Nangong Jinluo is well-known for his strictness.

Liu Hong didn't need to explain anything to the two Tongluo people. He nodded, and it was unclear whether he was responding to Song Tingfeng's words or greeting him.

“Just now…”

After giving a few brief instructions, he quickly left in the direction Wei An disappeared.

...

now
Go east from Guangnan Street and turn into Liuer Lane. After a while, a tile house comes into view.

Wei An slowed down his pace and gathered his clothes. He turned back to look at the stone arch bridge, his brow furrowed.

He was actually involved in a tax and silver case!
I just hope there won't be any complications.

There are too many things involved in this case, and it is more than a little Karami like him can handle at the moment.

There are all kinds of strange shops and stalls in Wazi, and some of the stall owners are dressed even more bizarrely.

He glanced around and his eyes locked on a spice shop. After looking around vaguely, he walked straight in.

"What do you want?"

The shop owner was wrapped tightly, revealing only a pair of deep-socketed eyes. He looked at a young man of vigor and vigor, with a look of scrutiny and excitement in his eyes.

Obviously, he was preparing to give Wei An a beating.

Wei An also saw his intention, "One part Yinxi incense, four parts Yuezhi incense, seven parts Hengwu incense, and ten parts Touchan sandalwood incense."

Hearing this, the shop owner was a little surprised and looked at Wei An again.

So young?

"Sir, you want a lot. Please follow me to the warehouse to get the goods."

He spoke and led the way.

Wei An followed him into the backyard and into a room in the corner.

As soon as he entered the house, the shop owner turned around and reached out to grab Wei An's arm. His movements were so fast that before Wei An could react, the shop owner had already let go of his arm.

After confirming the poison in Wei An's body, Zhi Lu's doubts dissipated. He snorted coldly and said, "Why don't you wait until tomorrow and see if you can still find me alive?"

"Boy, don't even think about coming to Chang'an and looking for a miraculous doctor or a great hermit to help you detoxify your body. If someone can help you detoxify you, either you can't afford the reward, or you won't even be able to get through the gate!"

He spoke threateningly, his tone cold and uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, Wei An didn't care.

[Contact Gu Master Rank 8 Poison Gu (Zhilu), do you want to activate the Gu Master system? (Activate the Gu Master system to advance to Rank 9 Poison Gu; Completion condition: Consume one pound of arsenic daily for ten consecutive days)]

After searching through several bottles and jars on a shelf, Zhi Lufang noticed that Wei An was still standing there. He immediately asked in a cold voice, "Idiot, what are you doing? Don't you want to detoxify yourself?"

Wei An came back to his senses, his eyes darkened slightly, and without any expression, he took the two bowls of medicine prepared by Zhi Lu and drank them all in one gulp.

Seeing him finish the medicine, Zhilu breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of pride in the corners of his eyes. "Boy, you used my antidote. From now on, only I can remove the poison from your body. I remind you, be honest. Do whatever you are asked to do with all your heart. Don't have any other thoughts. You should have experienced the peak moment of this poison's outbreak, right? Is it unforgettable? Haha~"

Wei An remained calm, looked into his eyes, and said calmly, "Poison added again?"

After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for an answer.

"Baby."

Zhilu spat, his eyes cold and cruel.

After cleaning up the place and erasing all traces, Zhilu felt in a good mood thinking about some fun things he would have in Chang'an in the future. He just walked out of the house.

"Gu Master? What rank?"

A voice came from above.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he was immediately stunned.

Night watchman!
Still a silver gong!

That boy is really an idiot who doesn't know how to live or die. He doesn't even know that he is being followed!

run!
By all means, run!
Many thoughts popped up in his mind in an instant, and as soon as the first thought came to his mind, Zhilu's hands had already moved.

Several bullets were thrown out, some exploded in the air by themselves, and some hit the tile wall and exploded. Green, black, red, purple, and various colored poisonous smoke spread rapidly, forming a barrier between him and Liu Hong.

That's what Zhilu thinks.

However, when he flew over the wall and landed, a hand had quietly rested on his shoulder.

He shuddered, and a figure appeared at the edge of his vision.

Zhi Lu's Adam's apple moved, but before he could spit out the poisonous gas, a solid fist hit him hard in the ribs, directly exploding his liver!
The intense pain severely stimulated his nerves and he instantly lost control of his body.

"boom!"

There was no time to relax at all, and another punch hit me!
The liver-exploding heavy attack of a fifth-grade warrior is different from that of ordinary people.

After the second punch, Zhilu was like a puddle of mud. Without Liu Hong holding him up, he would have collapsed to the ground.
