"Impossible. If you were just a thief, you would have been satisfied as long as you had the money. Why would you care about recruiting people?"

Tan Zhixian's eyes darted around as he spoke, as if he didn't believe what he was saying.

Yun Ruo Lu almost forgot, Tan Zhi County often dealt with bandits, so what did they want. It seemed like it wasn't a good thing for a person to be too smart.

Seeing that Tan Zhixian was starting to get suspicious, Yun Ruo Lu's eyes darkened. She threatened, "Tan Zhixian, don't tell me you don't know that it's not a good thing to know too much?"

Yun Ruo Lu had thought Tan Zhi County would be a greedy person who feared death. She hadn't thought that under the threat to his life, Tan Zhi County would put on a righteous front and say, "Even if you kill me, I won't tell you!"

Yun Ruo Lu frowned in displeasure. She thought to herself, "Someone who can make Tan Zhixian give up his life like this, he is definitely not a simple person!"

But no matter what, she had to come up with something. Otherwise, how could she be willing?

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. The only thing I can do is hand this account book over to the emperor, and he will be able to find out just the same."

Yun Ruo Lu said in a casual tone, scaring Tan Zhi County into turning black.

"You … Who exactly are you? "

Tan Zhixian seemed to have guessed that Yun Ruo Lu wasn't as simple as he thought, and he didn't dare to underestimate her. After all, if this matter really involved the emperor, things would become even more complicated.

"Who I am is not important. The important thing is, if you want to live, then obediently answer my question!"

Yun Ruo Lu's tone was a bit impatient. If things dragged on like this, she was worried that there would be a change in the situation.

Tan Zhixian was still hesitating, looking as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to. It was as if he had something on his mind.

"Speak!" I don't have the patience to wait for your consideration! I'll count to three. If you still don't say anything, don't blame me for being rude! "

"One …!"

"Two …!"

"I'll tell you!"

Just as Yun Ruo Lu was about to count to three, Tan Zhi County immediately compromised. His entire body began to tremble as he said in panic, "I said yes, that is …" Ah — you … You are... "The … the prince's men …"

Tan Zhixian was about to say who it was when a throwing knife came from outside the window and pierced his throat.

Just as Tan Zhixian was about to die, he actually used his finger to point at Yun Ruo Lu and said something she couldn't understand.

What? She belongs to the prince? Did Tan Zhi County know who she was? Why did he only know about it after he died?

What did Tan Zhi County's death have to do with her? Confused, Yun Ruo walked forward, but Tan Zhi County had already fallen to the ground, lifeless.

"Damn it!" He actually died at such a crucial moment! "

Yun Ruo Lu stomped her foot in anger, wishing that she could crush Tan Zhi County. She then chased after him out of the door. Jin Se walked up to him with a puzzled expression and asked: "Young master, what happened?"

Yun Ruo Lu did not explain and just ran out of the broken window, but there was no one there.

"Jin'er, did you see anyone pass by while you were guarding the outside?"

Yun Ruo Lu observed her surroundings while speaking, but there was no movement at all. She did not even leave a trace behind. This person could really be considered to have come without a trace.

"No, young master, what happened?"

Jin Se shook her head, puzzled. She had been guarding outside the entire time, so no one had approached. Although the window was on the side, she could still see it if anyone was around.

"Tan Zhi County is dead, let's leave this place first."

Yun Ruo You pulled Jin Se and quickly left. If someone found out, they would definitely think that it was her who killed Tan Zhixian, which would make things even more troublesome.

The two of them quickly left the Tan Mansion, but they did not return to the inn. Instead, they left the city to find Ling Xiao.

When Yun Ruo Lu rushed over to Wolf Mountain to find Ling Xiao, she coincidentally saw that everyone was there. They were all sweating profusely, as if they had just returned from a busy journey.

"What happened to you? Why do all of you look so tired? "

Yun Ruo Lu walked in front of everyone to ask, Ling Xiao wiped away his sweat and replied, "Many of the houses in the village are damaged, we'll go and help repair them."

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Yun Ruo Lu suddenly felt that they didn't seem like bandits at all. In any case, she had never seen such an enthusiastic group of bandits.

"Ling Xiao, I have something to say with you alone."

Yun Ruo pulled Ling Xiao aside, and said softly: "Tan Zhi County has been killed by someone! "Therefore, we can give the money we stole to the common people without worry."

"What?" Who killed him? "

Ling Xiao looked at Yun Ruo Lu in disbelief. Seeing how calm she looked, he believed that she wasn't the culprit. However, Tan Zhixian was a greedy government official. Even if he was killed by Yun Ruo, he would only applaud her.

He wondered who would help them kill Tan Zhixian.

Yun Ruo You shook his head, indicating that he didn't know and continued: "Although Tan Zhi County is dead, the imperial government will definitely send other officials to take over Cloud City. And we are going to help the poor villagers, and the money we stole from Tan Zhi County is far from enough. "

"What are their plans?"

Right now, Ling Xiao had complete trust in Yun Ruo Lu's words. No matter what she said, he would do it because if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't dare to do such a reckless thing.

Yun Ruo Lu was silent for a moment. She was worried that this decision would implicate Ling Xiao and the rest, but she had no choice, because she had to investigate the truth.

Tan Zhixian's dying words caused her heart to feel even more uneasy.

"We're going to Beijing to steal the treasury!"

When Yun Ruo's words came out, Ling Xiao choked on his saliva in shock, coughing continuously.

Although he had always trusted in Yun Ruo Lu's abilities, he was very clear about how strong he was.

The Tan Residence was not like the Imperial Palace. For such a tightly guarded place, not to mention stealing from the treasury, even stealing from it would be a problem. If he could really steal something from the treasury, he would probably become a God Thief of his generation.

"Cough cough, Yun …" Advisor Yun, you … Don't joke with me. "

"I'm not joking with you. What we want to steal is the treasury!"

Stealing the treasury was one of them. She just wanted to use this opportunity to go back to the capital and take a look. During this period of time, the silence was so quiet that it made her feel uncomfortable.

"But just the thirteen of us? How is that possible? "

Ling Xiao still could not believe it. Going there would be equivalent to suicide. Although he was not afraid of death, he could not just randomly send himself to his death.

"Don't worry, I have a map of the palace and I'm familiar with the route of the palace. There won't be a problem, don't you want to help the suffering citizens?"

There were already many poor villages outside the Cloud City. Coupled with the Black Hawk Gang causing trouble, it made life even more difficult for the commoners.

If they did not steal some silver from the treasury, even if they were given ten years, it would be impossible to reform Cloud City.

Ling Xiao hesitated for a long time before replying, "I have no problem with that, but I need to ask for the opinion of the brothers. If they don't want to go, I won't force them. "

"No problem, but it needs to be confirmed as soon as possible. We don't have much time to wait! "

Yun Ruo Lu knew of a secret passage that led directly into the palace from outside the palace. Very few people knew of that secret passage, it was something Red Calyx had told her before.

So as long as they followed the secret path into the palace, there would be no problem.

Yun Ruo Lu did not immediately tell Ling Xiao this, because there was still some distance between the imperial palace and the treasury, there were many dangers within, so she had to let them think it through on their own.

Ling Xiao gathered everyone together and explained his plan for this trip.

Everyone's blood was boiling as they heard this. They discussed amongst themselves, but they all had different opinions. They felt that stealing the treasury was not a very realistic idea.

Upon hearing that they were going to steal the treasury, Jinsi guessed what Yun Ruo Lu wanted to do, so he ran to her side and asked softly, "Young master, are you planning to return to the capital?"

"Yes, I have a feeling that something has happened in the capital."

Yun Ruo Lu did not hide anything, because she did not intend to bring Jin Se back. It was too dangerous to bring her back, so she could not let Jin Se get involved.

"But, isn't it too dangerous for young master to go back like this?" Furthermore, stealing the treasury is not a small matter. If we were to be discovered, we will implicate the Prince. "

Yun Ruo Lu really hadn't thought of the question that Jin Se had mentioned before.

If she was captured, this matter would definitely implicate Yuchi Chen. This thought had just sprouted in her mind when Yun Ruo Lu found it laughable. Since when did she start worrying about Yuchi Chen's safety?

"Jin'er, I knew there would be danger, so you're not going back with me this time."

"Young master, are you afraid that Jin`er will implicate you?" Otherwise, why would he abandon Jin'er? "

Upon hearing Yun Ruo's words, tears immediately welled up in her eyes. How could she leave? It was even more impossible for her to live on her own.

Just as Ling Xiao's men were deep in discussion, Black Hawk's voice suddenly came from not too far away, "Since we're stealing the treasury, how can we be missing?!"

The black hawk happily strode towards Yun Ruo Lu. He had heard that Tan Zhi County had been killed, so he had deliberately rushed over.

The moment Yun Ruo Lu and Jin Se left the city, Tan Zhi County's murder was discovered. The entire Cloud City burst into an uproar, but Yun Ruo Man did not even know about it.

"Brave man!" I never thought that you would actually kill Tan Zhixian.

Before this, the Black Hawk Gang had a grudge with Tan Zhixian. Therefore, when the news of Tan Zhixian's death reached their ears, the Black Hawk Gang's men were naturally very happy.

And naturally, they would link this matter with Yun Ruo Lu. Just because Yun Ruo You was able to kill Tan Zhi County, Black Hawk decided to follow Yun Ruo Lu.

Yun Ruo Lu did not explain to the Black Hawk's misunderstanding because she could see that the Black Hawk was very happy that Tan Zhi County had died. This way, no one would dare to bully them in the future. However, it also allowed Yun Ruo to establish her prestige in front of the Black Hawk Gang!
