Zhao Li obviously misunderstood Lu Xin's meaning, thinking that he wanted Jiuxing to give him an ambergris as the price of help. Zhao Li's reaction naturally shocked Lu Xin. A treasure of heaven and earth can be said to be very good at giving it to him. But from the side, it is enough to see that it is probably not a trivial matter for the Jiuxing Help to help him.

Lu Xin couldn't guess what Zhao Li was thinking about at this time. But he wouldn't point it out. After all, getting ambergris was the top priority for him. As for the Nine Stars Gang to give it away, it would be a trick to buy it by yourself, and it would be a trick to wait and see what it is.

The two of them quickly left the medicine shop, then headed east and left the western market. Zhao Li was leading the way in front of him, and Lu Xin was not in a hurry and followed quietly. It was not until the two walked into Yongxingfang on the shore of the palace that Zhao Li stopped and turned around and spoke.

Looking around, there are high-walled courtyards everywhere, and the streets are wider and cleaner than other places. Perhaps because of their proximity to the palace, the entire Lifang is very quiet and there are almost no idle people.

"Brother Lu, the place we are going to next is the private residence of the current censor and Duke of Song Xiao Yu. There are many rules. At that time, you can read more and talk less, and I will come forward."

"The Censor's private residence? Haha, it turns out that old man's name is Xiao Yu!"

When Lu Xin heard the four words "Censor-in-Chief", he immediately remembered the three officials' trial a few days ago. At that time, Li Jing, Minister of Justice, Lord Xiang, Minister of Dali Temple, and Lord Censor-in-Chief. The three formed the highest judicial department of the Tang Dynasty and interrogated Lu Xin, almost killing him. Looking back now, I can't help but feel resentful.

"Xiao Yu was born in a royal family and was too upright and didn't know how to adapt. It's best not to provoke him. In the early years of Zhenguan, he was demoted twice and came down from the position of prime minister. He is still worried. However, if I want to buy ambergris, I don't have to deal with him."

While Zhao Li was speaking, he took Lu Xin to the door of a mansion. The steps were extremely high, at 20 to 30 levels. The plaque was engraved with the words "Xiao Mansion" and painted with gold paint. It was majestic and magnificent. The door was closed with no guards. Zhao Li knocked on the broken door twice, but saw that he had no response for a long time. It was not surprising that he walked along the back door along the wall. The more Lu Xin looked at it, it was more strange. It would be fine if a censor had no guard. Why did even a gangster like Zhao Li seem to have a way to get in?

"You said Xiao Yu was born in the royal family? What's going on? Don't the royal family's surname be Li?"

"Hahaha, Brother Lu was joking. How many years has the royal family been established today? Xiao Yu is an old man in his sixties, so naturally he is not the descendant of the Li family. However, the Xiao family was a real royal family when he was in the Western Liang Dynasty. Later, the Western Liang Dynasty destroyed the country and the Xiao family became officials in the Sui Dynasty. Later, the Sui Dynasty was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, so Xiao Yu became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. The stories were complicated and could not be explained clearly for a while. In short, Xiao Yu had a close relationship with the father and son of the Li family, and he was still the uncle of the current emperor."

"Hmph, no wonder you're so aggressive. At this age, you should have realized the doctrine of the mean. Born in the royal family, you have all your heart and nature."

"Hahaha, Brother Lu seems to be prejudiced against this Lord Xiao?" Zhao Li suddenly stopped and turned around and smiled strangely. However, when he was halfway through his smile, he suddenly closed his mouth and his voice became a little embarrassed. "I almost forgot that the three officials will be tried. As the censor, Xiao Yu is afraid that he will make things difficult for you."

"You know everything, forget it, ambergris is important, let's lead the way."

The two of them closed their mouths at the same time, and their steps accelerated a lot. Zhao Li quickly walked around the back door of Xiao Mansion and smashed the door knocker twice. He heard a "creaking" sound, opening a crack in the door. Looking in, a young servant was looking outside with his eyes alertly. After seeing Zhao Li, he brows relaxed and shouted "Brother Li".

"It's me, is Mr. Xiao Qian here?"

"The young master is not here, but the wife is here. What is Brother Li going to buy?"

"It's good that my wife is here. Don't talk nonsense. My brother has something urgent to do, so open the door quickly."

Zhao Li finished his words in a hurry, and without waiting for the servant to answer, he pushed open the door and broke in. Lu Xin naturally followed closely behind. Both of them were walking fast, so the servant could not stop him. He called in front of the door twice. Seeing that Zhao Li had no intention of turning back, he sighed slightly, but did not stop him anymore and continued to guard his door.

"Interestingly, he can't stop such a thin slinger, even a big man can come. This Duke Song's mansion is still easy to enter."

Entering Xiao Mansion from the back door was a huge willow forest. Among them, there were countless rockery ponds, flowers, plants and insects, as if they had arrived in the suburbs all at once. But what surprised Lu Xin was that in such a huge mansion, there was no guard. Along the way, except for a doorman, he could not even see half of his figure.

However, Zhao Li didn't care at all. While walking, he said in a deep voice: "Since it's the Duke's Mansion, who dares to break in randomly? You don't know that Xiao Qian, the second son of the Xiao family, is a person with extremely high martial arts skills. Not to mention ordinary thieves, even the general of the court fights him, he will go without returning. But this is nothing. Xiao Qian's wife, Long, is an Onmyoji with extremely high cultivation. From the Western Regions, it is very mysterious. What we are looking for is in his hands."

"A native of the Western Regions? The Xiao family is also a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty. Will Xiao Yu actually tolerate his son marrying a Western Regions man?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter what kind of woman a concubine wants to take home. What's important is how powerful this woman is. As long as she has enough ability, no one dares to bully her, and it's here."

Zhao Li's voice stopped abruptly. Lu Xin looked forward and saw that the two of them had arrived in front of a small house at some point. There was grass all around, and there was a pond not far away. The lotus flowers were blooming in full bloom. Judging from the pattern, the place they were in should be the backyard of the entire Xiao Mansion. However, the area was so large that it even exceeded that of the mansion of Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian.

Zhao Li quickly pushed open the door and entered. In an instant, Lu Xin smelled a special and familiar fragrance. The smell of this sudden drifting into his nose made him frown immediately. Countless pictures flashed through his mind.

Seeing Lu Xin suddenly staying in place without moving, Zhao Li frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Dream Soul Ointment, this is the taste of Dream Soul Ointment."

Lu Xin murmured to himself. When Zhao Li heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he looked a little shocked.

"You actually know this?"

"Western Regions, Long Family, Dream Soul Ointment... Zhao Li, I'm afraid there are more than one person under the room, right?"

After a few breaths, Lu Xin walked forward along the source of the fragrance. There was a screen in the northwest corner of the house. After pushing it away, a hole appeared on the ground. There were steps tilted downwards, which was an authentic tunnel. Zhao Li nodded, although he was very confused. At this time, he seemed to be worried and did not speak anymore. Then, the two of them walked down the steps, about ten meters down, and a huge space appeared in front of him.

Looking around, the underground world in front of me looked like Yunmeng Ghost Market. They all dug up the underground and built special spaces for activities. But unlike Yunmeng Ghost Market, the underground palace in Xiao Mansion has a very different style. Whether it is the shape of the room or the other arrangements, they are very different from the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty.

"Every room here is round, and it is said to be built in the style of the house in Mrs. Xiao's hometown. Look at the people here, they are all high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City. Dream Soul Ointment is a good thing."

Zhao Li took Lu Xin deep into the passage, and looked at the people in the houses on both sides from time to time, with strange smiles on his face. Lu Xin naturally knew that the effect of Dream Soul Ointment was equivalent to half a drug. If the court knew about this thing, it would definitely be prohibited. Lu Xin originally thought that Dream Soul Ointment would only appear in some small places in various prefectures. He never thought that this thing would actually be there in the dignified imperial capital Chang'an City.

"It seems that this Long is a restless person."

Thinking in his heart, Lu Xin took a deep breath and tried his best to make his expression natural. At the same time, Zhao Li suddenly stopped and looked forward. They seemed to have reached the end of the underground palace. About ten meters away, there was an elegantly decorated hall. There was a woman in white clothes and masked sitting cross-legged on a high stool to practice. Lu Xin could clearly feel that strands of the five elements were gathering from all directions to the woman.

"It's indeed Onmyoji! This breath... this woman's cultivation level is probably already entering the Guiwei Realm."

Although Lu Xin's realm is not high, he has encountered many Onmyoji in Guiwei Realm, and he still feels that there are. The woman in white has a very powerful aura, even comparable to Wei Tunyun. While Lu Xin looked at the other party, the woman who entered into meditation slowly opened her eyes. In an instant, the aura on the woman's body completely disappeared and she turned into an ordinary woman.

"Mrs. Xiao, the villain Zhao Li, wants to buy an ambergris from his wife."

"It turns out that it is the fourth leader of the Jiuxing Gang. I haven't seen him for a long time. This person is..."

The woman glanced at Zhao Li and then looked at Lu Xin. Because most of her face was covered by the veil, Lu Xin could not determine whether the other party's expression was happy or angry.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, I sent my friend to Chang'an for the exam. I have some connection with my Jiuxing Gang, so the leader of the gang asked me to bring her here to disturb my wife, hoping to find an ambergris."

"So that's it, that is to say, it's him who wants to buy ambergris, and it's not your Jiuxing Gang?"

"This... Mrs. Xiao?"

"That's right, it's true that I want to buy ambergris. Madam, I am in Xia Luxin, a person from Yuezhou Prefecture. I'm new to you and have many troubles, so I hope to forgive you."

"Hehehe... the little guy is quite sweet-mouthed. Well, Zhao Li, it takes a thousand years for ambergris to grow one, which is a real treasure of heaven and earth. Scarcity is precious, and you should know how much it is. However, for the sake of the Nine Star Gang, my wife will not make things difficult for you. The price is 80,000 taels!"
