In the afternoon, Qu Xin, as usual, sat on the cabinet of the tea shop in a daze.In front of him, there was not tea, but water.There is a saying that "those who sell salt drink light soup, and those who weave straw mats sleep on a bare bed", Qu Xin, the shopkeeper of the tea shop, can be regarded as answering this sentence - he drinks boiled water without half a little tea every day.The taste of water is very bland, and it has to be accompanied by some "condiments" to have a taste.And the tea shop opened by Qu Xin is a place for people to gossip.Qu Xin is just forty years old this year, and he looks very ordinary in terms of height and appearance, even the regular customers of this tea shop are not too impressed by his shopkeeper, because the people who are responsible for greeting customers on weekdays are all shop guys, and he just sits there, like a mascot.No one paid attention to him, and no one would have thought that this seemingly ordinary tea shop owner would be the number three person in the organization "Phantom".Wuchang is one of the most important water and land transportation hubs in Dahui, and it is only natural that Phantom, as an organization mainly engaged in collecting and exchanging intelligence, would set up its base camp here.And when Gu Qiying was away, the person who managed this organization on his behalf was Qu Xin.This Qu Xin's martial arts are not as good as Gu Qiying, nor as good as Shen Youran, who is younger than him, and may even be stronger than some of the killers in the organization......
But it was he who sat firmly on the third position.He relied on two points: first, excellent logistics scheduling capabilities; Second, Gu Qiying's trust and respect.Of course, this "trust" is only relative.Gu Qiying "really trusts" only Shen Youran, as for the others......
No matter how much you trust, you will inevitably be planted by him.Trixin, is no exception.However, the Gu in him is not the same as the others - the members of the Phantom Shadow, depending on the level, the Gu planted will also be different; For a person of Qu Xin's level, the interval between Gu attacks on his body would be very long, which was not only to show Gu Qiying's "trust" in him, but also to facilitate him to act independently for a long time in a place far away from Gu Qiying.In addition, in Qu Xin's hands, he also held the continuation Gu recipes of all the people below him; Please note that it is a recipe for "continuing Gu", not "curing Gu", which means that the effect of this medicine is to relieve the next attack of Gu, not to completely remove Gu.I have to say that the system that Gu Qiying came up with really works......
Because of the existence of this system, even after he "died", the organization did not fall apart.After the Luoyang incident, Qu Xin naturally took over the command and maintained the operation of the shadow as usual.In the past few days, in addition to continuing to collect all kinds of intelligence from the rivers and lakes, the people, and the government and the opposition, the members of the Phantom Shadow at all levels have also had an additional key task: to keep an eye on Huang Donglai and try to get the handwriting of the Lord Venerable from him.Seeing this, all the officials must have understood......
On the roof of the inn in Xinyang that night, the "fourth person" lurking in the shadows was none other than a spy of the shadow.And the ambush at the post house last night was also the work of the shadow; The leader of the killers who led the nine killers to kill together was none other than Qu Xin himself.However, after all, this Qu Xin has been in the "sitting post" for too long, and his performance in leading the command on the front line is really not good, and the silly "kill me with me" when he rushed into the house last night even his subordinates wanted to complain.Originally, the order he gave last night was: Except for Huang Donglai, who must be captured alive, the other two can live or die, depending on whether they resist fiercely or not.As a result, his voice shouted not fiercely but also fiercely......
If it hadn't been for his roar, perhaps the brothers would have rushed in and quickly struck the three men on their necks, and the matter would have been done, and the three would have been captured alive without fighting.But now, I went to ten, and in the end only three came out, and the whole seven brothers confessed there, and the martial arts of these seven people are not weak.Although it can also be said that due to the intrusion of Ran Ling, a master, no matter how much they respond, they will fail, but if it weren't for his stupid behavior, at least a few fewer people would have died.Reason......
That's the truth.Unfortunately, no one will say these words.This is also the drawback of Gu Qiying's "Gu control system" - no one dares to offend their superiors.But in any case, last night's defeat obviously raised questions about Qu Xin's command ability within the organization; In the face of these subordinates who dare not speak out, Qu Xin is also very stressed......
Because those people are not stupid, they all understand: if you can't get the master's handwriting, the most hurtful person is not us, but you Qu Xin.Although our Gu can't be solved, it can be maintained by "continuing the Gu", but how to alleviate your Qu Xin's Gu is only known to the Lord Venerable; Now that the Venerable Lord is no longer there, when your Gu reaches the onset stage, if you haven't gotten the notes, then you will be severely punished.Right now, Qu Xin is sitting here, seemingly in a daze, but he is actually thinking about it.At this moment, several familiar figures passed in front of him......
"Yo, the four masters, come, come, please, there is a seat here." ”The guys in the store greeted each other, and at the same time led Ran Ling, Sun Yihuan, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji to an empty table.At this moment, Ran Ling is naturally dressed in civilian clothes, if he comes over in a brocade guard, he will not be able to scare away all the guests in this room.Sun, Huang, and Lei also changed into their usual clothes, and no longer wore the tattered disguise."
Pick the tea and have a few plates of dried fruit snacks."
While Ran Ling sat down, he casually instructed the guy."
Eh~ Okay!"
The fellow answered, and turned to get busy.Before he had gone far, Lei Buji whispered to Ran Ling: "Brother Ran, didn't you say that you would take us to investigate the case?"
Why did you come here for tea?
”When Ran Ling heard this, he glanced at Lei Buji, and replied unhurriedly: "Drinking tea here is to investigate the case." ”"Huh?"
Lei Buji couldn't understand.However, Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai understand."
What does Big Brother Ran mean......
Where can I gather intelligence?
”Huang Donglai answered softly."
Not bad."
Ran Ling also lowered his voice slightly, and replied, "The business of this tea shop in the city is good, and the guys and regular customers here also love to gossip......
There was such a big incident in the inn last night, and some people here today will definitely talk about it, so we might as well sit here for a long time and listen to what they can chew out that we don't know......
It should be rewarding. ”The few words they whispered, but none of them escaped Qu Xin's ears—people listened to them with their ears.Maybe he was worried that the shopkeeper's "daze" was too engrossed and didn't notice the appearance of these people, another guy in the store also deliberately walked to Qu Xin's side at this time, and whispered: "Shopkeeper, look at ......"
Qu Xin waved his hand, signaling him not to say anything.This is called stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get them.In the next second, Qu Xin couldn't help but say, and immediately gestured to this guy under the counter, which meant very simple: put medicine in the tea.
