The white shadow was right behind Ye Meng. It stretched out its slender fingers and tried to strangle her neck. Ye Meng saw the shadow getting closer and closer to her on the ground. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.
Just as her slender nails were about to touch the acupuncture points on the back of her smooth neck, Ye Meng suddenly turned around and scattered a packet of powder. The white shadow probably didn't expect the slender and delicate woman in front of him to suddenly make such a move.
He didn't have time to dodge and was hit by the powder. He wanted to sneeze, but he didn't expect that he had already inhaled more powder. His entire body fell straight to the ground.
He kicked the white shadow that was lying on the ground without any reaction. Ye Meng patted the powder on her palm smugly, then turned around and returned to the dark place where the three of them had been hiding.
"Let me see if you're injured." Qi Lu saw that Ye Meng had returned and quickly pulled her over to check. He was relieved after confirming that there were no wounds.
"Sigh, what can you check?”Ye Meng pushed him away. Was Qi Lu trying to show off his eyesight in the middle of the night?
"Sigh, I'm just concerned about you.”Qi Lu felt wronged. He felt that he couldn't win over Ye Meng, so he turned to look at He Tang, who was hiding at the side." Oh right, He Tang, your powder is really magical." He's simply invincible."
"Invincible huh." He Tang walked out from the shadows. Under the faint moonlight, he looked even gentler." There's only so much of this powder left. We'd better use it carefully. It's best if it can be used in times of danger."”
"That's right." Ye Meng knocked Qi Lu's head." Why else would I call you over?"”
"What for?" Qi Lu said innocently.
"I think that carriage is going far away. We should hurry up and follow it.”Ye Meng directly skipped his idiotic question and looked at He Tang.
"Yes, Miss Ye is right. It's about time. If we don't follow him now, we'll lose him.”He Tang nodded and walked ahead. Ye Meng followed closely behind.
" You guys..." Seeing that the two of them were ignoring him, Qi Lu spat out a mouthful of water unhappily and followed them. When he passed by the fallen white shadow, he pretended to step on it accidentally.
The three of them quickly passed through the back. The carriage in front still did not notice the strange phenomenon behind them. It continued to slowly move forward.
Finally, they reached the so-called " ghost house ". However, unlike the one at the foot of the mountain, which was not guarded by anyone, the ghost house was surrounded by a large group of white shadows that were similar to the previous one. The reason why they were dressed like this was to scare away the careless or bold people who came here.
However, Ye Meng and the others weren't afraid. They already knew that these so-called white shadows were actually humans in disguise. Since they were humans, there was nothing to be afraid of.
However, due to the large number of people, the three of them decided to hide nearby and think of a countermeasure.
At this moment, a carriage caught up from behind. The three of them quickly hid behind a huge rock. Under the moonlight, they saw the carriage swaying forward slowly. As there were more gravel on the mountain road, the sound of the wheels colliding with the rocks was particularly clear in the dark night.
At this moment, a crisp voice was heard, accompanied by the sound of wheels. Although it was not loud, it was enough to make people hear it clearly. The three of them focused their attention on the carriage and the things that fell behind them. A bright light flashed in He Tang's eyes.
The item that dropped this time should be the same as the last time. It was just that he didn't have the chance to see what it was last time. This time, one of the key points must be this.
After the carriage left, Ye patted Qi Lu's shoulder and pointed at the place where the things had fallen. Qi Lu immediately understood what she meant. He bent over and quickly moved over, reaching out his hand to quickly feel around on the ground.
At this moment, a figure slowly approached him. Qi Lu was only focused on groping around and did not seem to notice that there was someone behind him.
Ye Meng, who had noticed him, stood up to help him but was stopped by He Tang.
" What are you doing..." Ye Meng, who wanted to save Qi Lu, was suddenly stopped by He Tang. She was a little unhappy and was about to question him when He Tang covered her mouth with his hand.
"Sorry for offending you." He Tang whispered beside her. He pointed at Qi Lu and continued,"Brother Qi's martial arts are so good that he must have noticed someone behind him." Besides, if you run out and call out to Ye Meng, you will definitely call the others. If you make a scene like this, we won't be able to go back.”
His gentle voice echoed in her ears, and Ye Meng felt the fine hairs on her ears warm up. She looked at Qi Lu, and sure enough, Qi Lu had already quietly defeated all the people who wanted to invest in him from behind.
It seemed that she was overthinking things.
Ye Meng's eyes were no longer anxious and flustered. She had regained her previous calmness and a hint of apology. He Tang knew that she had thought it through. He let go of her hand and apologized," I'm sorry for offending you just now."”
"I'm fine." Although Ye Meng was indeed a little unhappy with what he had done just now, he did not blame him because he was in a hurry.
Moreover, he was indeed too rash just now. Perhaps it was because he had been with Qi Lu for too long that he was as impulsive as him.
"What are you guys talking about?" When Qi Lu returned, he saw that the two of them were chatting about something and did not look particularly happy, so he asked.
"It's nothing." "You, on the other hand, have you found anything?" Ye Meng asked perfunctorily.
"There is one." " It's not that simple." Qi Lu frowned and said seriously," It's not that simple."”
As he spoke, he spread his hands and showed them the things he had just picked up on the roadside.
" This is..." Ye Meng took the thing from his palm and looked at it carefully under the moonlight. He realized that it was actually a copper coin.
How could it be a copper coin? Ye Meng looked at He Tang, only to find that he was staring at the copper coin in a daze, seemingly deep in thought.
"What's wrong? Do you have any ideas?" Ye Meng asked in a low voice.
"It should be the same as what Miss Ye thought.”Hearing her question, He Tang turned to look at her. He tapped the copper coin with his finger and smiled inexplicably.
"Hey, what are you guys laughing about?" Qi Lu, who had been left out in the cold, was a little unhappy when he saw the two of them laughing, so he quickly interrupted them.
"Qi Lu, we must have encountered a big case this time.”Ye Meng said with a fierce face," So you have to take it seriously.”
"I know." Actually, Qi Lu was not an idiot. When he picked up the copper coin, he had already guessed that since the coins had fallen out of the carriage, the carriage must have been filled with copper coins. Moreover, there must be quite a number of carriages entering every night, so there might be a certain scale of illegal coining here.
However, what was the use of casting so much money? Presumably, the biggest crime was to cast money to raise soldiers and horses. Raising soldiers and horses meant that someone wanted to rebel. This matter was very likely to involve the stability of the country and the people. Therefore, even if Ye Meng didn't say anything, he would still take it seriously.
"Now that everyone understands the situation, let's make the next step of preparation.”Ye Meng nodded at Qi Lu.
"Miss Ye will arrange everything." He Tang had no objections.
"What about you?" Ye Meng looked at Qi Lu.
"Of course I'll listen to you." Qi Lu raised his chin and pointed at Ye Meng.
"How about this, we first think of a way to sneak in.”Ye Meng pointed at the few people guarding the entrance of the haunted house.
"How do we survive?" Qi Lu asked. Could it be that they didn't know what their family members looked like?
"Are you stupid?" Ye Meng rolled her eyes at him. Did he think that she was an idiot like him?
"I think what Miss Ye means is to pretend to be one of them and then blend in. This way, it will be very difficult to be discovered.
"That's right." Ye Meng nodded and made a face at Qi Lu.
"Of course I know that." Qi Lu looked a little embarrassed and said awkwardly,""I mean, how are we supposed to get in by pretending to be them?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of " ding, ding, ding " came from the road outside the stone. Ye Meng smiled proudly and said,""Well, the opportunity has been given to us.”
Qi Lu, I'll leave it to you." Ye Meng patted him on the shoulder as she spoke. She had the air of a teacher.
After understanding what she meant, Qi Lu hid to the side until the carriage was getting closer and closer to them. Then, he leaped over and pounced on them. Before the two people who were driving the carriage could react, he had already placed his hands on the back of their heads." Pa!" With a loud sound of their heads hitting each other, his entire body slumped onto each other's shoulders.
At this moment, the white ghost guarding behind him realized that something was wrong. He quickly went forward to see if something had happened.
As soon as he reached his head over, Qi Lu threw a silver needle at his neck and he fell to the stone floor with a muffled sound. His head must have hit the stone.
Qi Lu also felt pain when he heard that. He covered his forehead and grimaced.
"This guy is still playing." Ye Meng hid in the shadows and saw him grimacing. She wanted to beat him up.
"Sigh!" Perhaps sensing Ye Meng's displeasure, Qi Lu finally stopped playing around. He whispered in their direction and made a " everything is done " gesture.
"Let's go over." Seeing his gesture, He Tang suggested.
The two of them quickly moved to the carriage that was still slowly moving forward. Qi Lu trained the carriage to its slowest speed before turning around to ask the two of them how to change their clothes.
He Tang and Ye Meng had already changed into their black clothes and put on their masks.
"You, you guys!" Qi Lu looked at the white clothes that the two people beside him had saved for him and said unhappily," Why did I become a ghost?"”However, he wanted to be with Ye Meng more.
"Because only you know qinggong." The two of them actually spoke in unison.
Ye Meng pointed at the sky, hinting that the white shadow was flying in the sky. Otherwise, how could he act so well?
"Then I'll stop pretending and wait for you guys here?”Qi Lu threw off his white clothes and suggested with a bright light in his eyes. "We can still receive them from inside and outside!"
"Thank you. You disguise yourself and sneak in. Find an opportunity to deal with those ghosts flying around.”Ye Meng slapped him and interrupted his thoughts.
