And then he asked, “How long is it before dawn?”
“Ought to be less than half a sichen,” Niu Fengyi replied
Zha Jie said, “An Long never showed up”
Letting out a cold hu said, “Just consider hiet rid of An Long before entering the well to search for the treasure Who would have thought that An Long did not go to the Bei Li’s Le Quan Guan at all, so that the heroes had no ground to use theircheerfully addressed the crowd, “On the way to the tunnel exit over there, there is a super treasure house; stored inside ought to be several dozens of divine arreat faratitude to all brothers, you can help yourself by picking up one item each”

Xu Ziling said, “This tiht i said, “I will i to the situation; I guarantee that I can still cover up everything”
Xu Ziling said, “Everybody in the Sha Family, from top to bottom, are honest people; you, this kid, can easily deceive thele you?”
Kou Zhong proudly said, “Xiedi Sheli is still in our hands; ould we be afraid of her? No matter how crafty and vicious Wan Yaonu is, in the end she is still a toy that I can play with on the palm of my hand”
After a short pause, he added, “Leave the business here for Gao Zhandao to take care, you’d better use your Yong Qin identity to show your face everywhere, and then nobody will think that outside the fake treasure house, there is still the real one Isn’t Yun Shuai still relying on you tosecretly returned to the Sha Mansion and sneaked into his roo under the pillow, he found the letter he left was still there, so he was relieved

Kou Zhong replied, “These days Ithe city to steal away Did Da Jiuye [first son-in-law] look for ht, he did not have ti thanked the heaven and thanked the earth; lowering his voice, he said, “Last night at dusk I ca, and was invited back to the Mansion to have soht that three cups of ent down , until I woke up earlier thisin from the rear courtyard, because Laoye definitely will not be happy that I have such a close relationshi+p with Heavenly Policy Mansion’s people What can you do to helphis eyes, Sha Fu replied, “That’s easy In thisto do his best for Mo Ye? As long as I eht Mo Ye ca Furen’s place, I guarantee no one will question it”
Kou Zhong cheerfully said, “Just say I went to see Xiufang Xiaojie then Thank you for your, the Senior’s trouble in hed and said, “It’s a small , he has been very unhappy”
Kou Zhong said, “I a out into the world to fulfillhis voice, Sha Fu said, “But there’s news that Huangshang wanted to appoint you the I ht not be happy, perhaps he would blaht about this; frowning, he o into the Palace to see Zhang Jieyu to give her the full account With her speaking to Huangshang, it will be uarantee that Da Jiuye will not be affected”

Spreading out his hand, Kou Zhong said, “All right! Noe break up this agreement; you don’t have the Relics, I lost the treasure The only thing I am thankful of is that I can still eat and walk away”
“Pfft!” Wanwan giggled tenderly, “You should thank us instead Your so-called covert operation turned out to be just like that Were it not for Zhu shi+ came into the treasure house just in ti, it would still be difficult to fly”
And then, spreading her pal shi+vered inwardly; Wanwan’s side definitely had a spy inside the Li Clan, hence the reason they knehat happened inside the treasure house as soon as it happened Furtherround river
