In a hurry, Lao Wu quietly put his hand into his clothes.

He was wearing Elder Qu's outer coat, but the clothes underneath were the ones he wore when he left the princess's mansion yesterday.

Seeing that he was just a child, Elder Qu only searched him briefly without taking any extra precautions.

When he left, because he wanted to go out of the house to buy medicinal herbs, in addition to small change, he also had a few gold ingots that Qin Yaoguang specially made and gave to them as rewards from time to time.

The gold ingot is made in the shape of a plum blossom, with a small and exquisite design. When it was cast, there was also the mark of the Princess's Mansion on the back.

Elder Qu had taken away all the small change, but the gold ingot he had kept close to his body was still there.

Lao Wu's fingers touched a gold ingot. He pretended to struggle and threw the small gold ingot down through the gap in the pipe.

"puff--"

With a slight sound, the gold ingot fell into the mud on the ground.

Much louder than the sound of tears.

The third brother was wondering why it was raining underground, when he saw a gold ingot suddenly appear next to the drops of unknown liquid.

Could it be, Fifth Brother?

He was startled and was about to rush forward, but suddenly seemed to realize something and stopped abruptly.

If it really was my fifth brother, then he must have had no choice but to use this method to inform me.

He cannot be impulsive.

If he were discovered by the people who were secretly controlling him, my fifth brother’s life would probably be in danger.

In critical moments, the third brother's mind was particularly clear.

He walked over quietly, pretended to be playing, squatted down and started scratching on the ground with his fingers.

Taking the opportunity, he turned the gold ingot over and saw clearly the mark of the two words "Leyang" left on the back when it was cast.

It’s indeed the fifth brother!

Just as I was thinking about it, another one fell on my head.

It turned out that Lao Wu took advantage of Lai San's attention being focused on the people talking in the hall and quietly threw another one down.

Fortunately, the gold ingot was small enough and floated lightly when thrown from the pipe. There was also mud on the ground, so there was no noise when it fell.

With Lai San's skills in stealing and sneaking, and because he was attracted by other people's attention, he was not noticed at all.

But just because he couldn't discover it doesn't mean no one else can.

Yan Changqing had already heard the noise above his head.

Two golden ingots fell down one after another. Although the sound of breaking through the air was slight, it was not inaudible and was accurately captured by him.

The third brother raised his head with two gold ingots in his hands and met Yan Changqing's sharp eyes.

He turned his hand over, palm facing up, revealing the gold ingot inside.

Yan Changqing had very sharp eyesight. Even though they were only ten feet apart, he could still clearly see the "Leyang" mark on the back of the gold ingot.

Seeing that his father understood, the third brother retracted his finger and pointed his index finger upwards.

Yan Changqing understood immediately.

When entering the night market, in order to avoid acting together and becoming too conspicuous, everyone was divided into three groups.

Later, the third brother was needed to pretend to be a sick child, so he was called in, and Fang Ting and the second brother hid in the dark to provide support.

Qingbai brought Yan Shouzhuo and pretended to be passers-by. They were playing with a bronze vessel that had been passed down from an unknown dynasty at a stall not far away.

As soon as Yan Changqing moved, everyone became alert.

Indeed, the ghost market has its own rules.

Such an underground city with everything and a neat scale, even if it is built in the most mixed southern part of the city, cannot be built without the tacit approval of various forces behind it.

Yan Changqing placed Huang Laoshi here so that he could follow the clues and find the real backer behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, I still have no clue until now. At most, I have become familiar with the little steward of Guimen who is on business trip outside.

But all of this does not mean that the supreme imperial power can do nothing about it.

The reason why Qin Yaoguang did not act rashly, but instead tried every means to bring people in, was simply because he was afraid of damaging the jade bottle by killing the rat.

Now that he had confirmed that the target was right above his head, Yan Changqing no longer hesitated.

Qin Yaoguang was still negotiating with the people guarding the hall entrance, asking about the whereabouts of the ghost doctor, but out of the corner of her eye she felt Yan Changqing's muscles suddenly tense.

Yan Changqing stretched out his hand and, using the cover of his sleeves, quietly pinched her fingers.

It is to comfort and remind.

Qin Yaoguang instantly understood what he meant, nodded slightly, and continued talking to the people in front to distract their attention.

The two were clearly a couple who had been separated for ten years, but at this moment, they were in complete sync with each other and had perfect understanding.

Yan Changqing turned half of his body towards the third brother, and used his eyes as a ruler to estimate the straight-line distance between the place where the gold ingot fell and his head.

Since he was going to take action, he tried his best to hit the target with one blow.

I was afraid of hurting the fifth one hiding above my head.

The third brother saw what he was thinking and became anxious, as if his heart was about to jump out.

He knew that his father was an expert in martial arts. What would he do if his father not only broke through the ceiling but also injured his fifth brother?

The third brother stood up as if stretching, raised the two gold ingots high in his hands, and then smashed them down hard.

People who don’t understand will just think it’s a child playing around.

But he secretly hoped that his fifth brother could understand his hint.

Lao Wu really understood it.

Children's minds are the most sensitive and insightful.

Although he couldn't explain why, he knew intuitively that among all his brothers and sisters, the third child who was taciturn was the most affectionate and sentimental.

Instinctively, he is closest to the third brother.

The two of them developed a tacit understanding that was not present between them and others.

When the fifth brother saw the third brother smashing the gold ingot, he knew that he wanted him to find something else to throw down to indicate his hiding place.

Unfortunately, the gold ingots have been used up.

In order to throw the gold ingot out quietly, he struggled for a few times and attracted Lai San's attention.

At this moment, Lai San was holding him down tightly, not letting him move.

I was afraid that if I made some noise, it would attract the attention of the people below, and I wouldn't be able to successfully retrieve the things that Elder Qu wanted.

The fifth child was small and could not move because of Lai San's pressure.

He was afraid that if he delayed any further, he would miss the opportunity.

Can't wait.

Lao Wu made up his mind and, regardless of the fact that Lai San was holding down his limbs, he raised his little head and banged it down hard.

"boom!"

The rotten materials that had accumulated in the pipe over the years were stirred up layer by layer by Lao Wu's strong knock.

Because of Lao Wu's action, the entire ceiling where he was standing began to vibrate, and dust fell down.

For a moment, there was a smell of everything, pungent and choking.

"Cough cough cough..."

Lao Wu's sudden behavior left Lai San no time to think, and his physiological reaction caused him to cough violently.

next moment.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

Yan Changqing saw Lao Wu's position clearly and took decisive action, throwing a dagger towards Lao Wu.

As he threw it, he infused his true energy into the dagger.

The moment the dagger touched the ceiling above, it exploded instantly, blasting a black hole in the pipe and causing the accumulated dust to fall wildly.

The two people lying on the pipe immediately became covered in dust.

Lao Wu was delighted and shouted loudly, struggling to crawl towards the hole in the pipe that was blown out.

Although it was high above the ground, he was not afraid.

He believed that someone would catch him!

Lao Wu just stretched out a little hand, but unexpectedly Lai San finally came to his senses, grabbed his collar and threw him back, directly to the other side of the pipe.
