Chapter 458 -459: Tonight, we still have a big job to do!
Hidden in the darkness, Qi Yue couldn’t help but reveal her eight pearly white teeth!
—This guy, if he knew the person who saved him was actually the one who conned him, I wonder if he would die of anger!
But why is this guy standing around instead of leaving? Is he trying to build connections?
Qi Yue signalled Qingzhu with her eyes, and he immediately started shouting at the top of his lungs.
“Quick, come here, the assassin is here, it’s the one-eyed Wolf Nine!”
The voice was loud and forceful, unmistakably that of an Imperial City Guard eager for recognition.
The directionless torches immediately moved over here.
Seeing that the situation was going south, Wolf Nine immediately took to his heels and ran, drawing all the guards towards him.
“It looks like these guards aren’t going to catch Wolf Nine,” Qi Yue said, standing up from the shadows, “It’s time to head back.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Before the Imperial City descended into greater chaos, the two of them also returned to the Liu Residence.
Upon entering the Baoyue Pavilion, Qi Yue began to tally her unexpected spoils from the evening and couldn’t stop smiling.
Having a space was so convenient, there was no limit to the number of things one could take!
She had casually picked up a few items, and in total, there were more than a hundred pieces, big and small.

Most noteworthy was a box that had been in her way. She had picked it up out of convenience, only to find it was a rosewood box filled with various colored pieces of jewelry.
There were also some jade artifacts; just jade pendants alone there were six, each adorned with uniquely patterned phoenix carvings.
Qi Yue casually picked out two jade pendants and took two gold collars for Qingzhu.
“These few pieces are quite good, for your two sons. When we get back, I’ll give you other treasures,” she said.
With a face full of sincerity and fear, Qingzhu said, “This subordinate dare not accept.”
“Take them,” Qi Yue rolled her eyes, “Or are you suggesting you disdain these goods because of their questionable origins? I’ve already told you, these few items are quite special, you won’t find better ones elsewhere!”
Upon hearing this, Qingzhu quickly accepted the items.
“How could I dare, thank you for your generosity, my lord.”
“It’s what you deserve. You’re responsible for reporting tonight’s affairs to your Marquis!”
“Yes, my lord.”
Watching Qingzhu’s retreating figure, Qi Yue’s eyes narrowed in a smile.
What a delightful surprise!
All these items, once listed in the Space Mall, I wonder how much Space Currency they will bring in!
And with that Space Currency, how many things that don’t exist in this world I can exchange for!
Qi Yue hardly dared to close her eyes to imagine!
Because every time she thought about it, she began to worry that she didn’t have time to spend the money.
Recently there had been no time for a grand shopping spree in the Space Mall!
The zeroes behind the Space Currency were multiplying so much that she could hardly keep count!
That night Qi Yue slept comfortably, but all of Fengdu was thrown into turmoil.
It started with the Imperial Palace of Nanyue.
The fire Qi Yue thoughtlessly threw out landed too conveniently, right on the window of Emperor Han Linghe’s quarters, sparks flying in and almost catching the drapes aflame.
It was said that the startled Emperor had just fallen asleep when he leapt out of bed and dashed into the courtyard wrapped in his blanket.
The guards and the Longting Guard turned the entire Imperial Palace upside down but found no one.
However, the incident also made the theft at Yue’s Hidden Treasury widely known. A warrant was issued, and the whole city was on the lookout for the one-eyed Wolf Nine.
Meanwhile, characters like Old Three in Fengdu City were not idle either.
In the span of just one night, more than a dozen Imperial Court officials, including the Vice Minister of Punishment, Zhou Yuan, were robbed.
Of course, under the guidance of “insiders,” more than half of them were members of the Wei Family.
Even the Imperial City Guards, with the cooperation and support from Zhao Chong and others, were fooled round and round, not even catching a glimpse of Ma Laoshi and his companions!
The entire night was filled with calls for help in the east and fires in the west.
The grand Fengdu City truly turned into a chaotic scene, bustling with activity.
Early the next morning, Qi Yue was woken up by the noise of confused footsteps and cries of alarm.
Several maidservants rushed in hurriedly, saying they had been sent by Liu Zhinan to check on Qi Yue.
“The master said, last night was restless, with minor and major officials suffering afflictions in over a dozen households. He sent us to see if the young master has been frightened or not?”
Qi Yue propped himself up and said he was fine; after some thought, he added another sentence.
“Tell the master that I slept well all night and did not hear any noise.”
The maidservants had actually come to see Qi Yue, wanting to meet her, but they were stopped at the door by Qingzhu and could not enter, so they had no choice but to return and report back.
Qi Yue couldn’t sleep anymore; he got up, tidied himself, and then opened the door.
“Qingzhu, have you received any news from your master?”
“Master, how could you forget, even at the earliest, the news would only arrive tonight.”
“Oh.”
Qi Yue pinched the bridge of his nose, only then remembering that this was an entirely different world. Sending messages by hot air balloon was already the fastest means of communication in this land.
Qingzhu brought over some tea and recounted everything that happened the night before, finally asking for instructions, “Master, what should we do now? Ma Laoshi doesn’t dare to approach Shen Gong’s house, and we can’t probe! Shall I make a trip?”
Qi Yue waved his hand, “No, Shen Gong already knows you. Just showing your face would arouse his suspicion. Let’s see how things go tonight.”
As they were speaking, Zhao Chong came rushing in, presenting a document as soon as he entered.
“Master, our people have sent a message.”
Qi Yue hurriedly took it and read it, his lips curving into a high smirk by the end.
“I didn’t expect this Ma Laoshi to be such a good helper!”
According to the information sent by the Black Feather Guard embedded near Ma Laoshi, this man was much more deeply hidden than they had understood.
This fellow was no simple bandit.
On the surface, he has been king of the mountain in the Tuyun Mountain on the outskirts of Fengdu City, living off of robbing passing merchants, but in reality, Ma Laoshi had always harbored the dream of a hero who aspired to dominate the world.
Especially after the chaos throughout the land intensified and the strife between four nations became more apparent, Ma Laoshi took in many refugees and quickly pulled together a not insignificant force on Tuyun Mountain.
Moreover, he had set up special contact points in Fengdu City, and the merchant inn in the west of the city was managed by his people.
They also dug secret chambers and tunnels beneath the inn, leading directly outside the city gates!
This was the real reason why they dared to enter Fengdu City without any worries!
And Qi Yue’s actions this time serendipitously hit right on Ma Laoshi’s needs.
Qi Yue swiftly went through the information, applauding his own extraordinary luck in secret!
In his last life, he slogged through daily work for only meager rewards; who would have thought that in this life, everything would go smoothly, with every venture meeting success!
Hahaha…
Even casually dealing with a bandit was fitting in all respects, without a single doubtful point!
It simply couldn’t be better.
“Master, Zhao Long is asking what’s the next step? From what he says, it seems Ma Laoshi does not plan to stop. It is said that tonight he intends to go after a big score!”
Hearing Zhao Chong’s inquiry, Qi Yue immediately snapped out of his excitement.
With only a brief moment of thought, he gave the command!
