In the afternoon, Shihe Inn.This inn is quite famous in Taizhou, firstly, because its location is located in a transportation hub, and the traffic is very large almost all year round; The second reason is that the chefs here have family skills, and the fried pork liver is particularly good, and some people even don't go to high-end restaurants and restaurants, so they come here to eat this bite.A restaurant like this is undoubtedly quite lively during the day, especially when it comes to meals.For example, at this time, at noon, the store is so noisy that it feels like you can hear everything, but you can't hear anything.Hu Wenzhi is sitting in a corner of the lobby of this store at the moment, sharing a table with a middle-aged man with a half-grown child.Let's say that this old Hu, after leaving Shanghai County, said goodbye to Sun Huang and began to travel alone.After all, he had only begged Shuanghuan and Gonggong Wei to take him back to the Central Plains from Dongying from the beginning, and there was no reason to follow them all the time.Again......
After experiencing those things in Shanghai County, Hu Wenzhi didn't dare to walk with Shuangharmonic even more; Because from Hu Wenzhi's point of view, Sun Huang and these two goods are involved in too many forces, and the water behind them is too deep, and if nothing else, they have been targeted by the "King of Desire", and if they continue to follow them, I am afraid that even they will be involved in some kind of conspiracy.Therefore, after leaving the city, as soon as he stepped on the fork in the official road, Hu Wenzhi proposed that he would like to go around alone next, "no longer bothering the two young heroes".As soon as Sun Huang heard this, he immediately understood what Hu Wenzhi meant, anyway, the friendship between them is average, and the two sides really have no motive to act together, so if you want to go, you can go.However, before parting, Sun Yihuan still took out the process of "forming a good fate", and took the initiative to give Lao Hu some silver taels, saying that it was......
"You just returned to the Central Plains, even if you have relatives and friends, you can't contact them for a while, so you have to have some travel expenses, right?"
”Hu Wenzhi also knew that the other party was selling favors to him, but considering that he owed Sun Yihuan a large amount of gambling debts, and it was not bad for the hundred and ten taels, so he accepted it a little politely.After that, Hu Wenzhi went on the road alone and leisurely traveled through the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.Recently, he passed through Taizhou, and after some inquiry, he came to this Shihe inn and wanted to try the fried pork liver here.Because he is alone, and he is also low-key, so it is easy to arrange, even if the store is full, he quickly finds someone to put together the table by himself.Originally, it would be a beautiful day, delicious food, fine wine, and then go out for a walk after eating, bask in the spring afternoon sun, and inhale the fireworks of the market, how pleasant.But unexpectedly......
Just when Hu Wenzhi was about to put down the first chopsticks in the face of the fragrant and hot pork liver, there were some words that should not have been heard by him, and they inadvertently drifted into his ears."
It's really extraordinary......
Who would have thought that the legendary 'Shadowless Poison Venerable' would be such an unsightly little old man. ”A middle-aged man's voice rang out from the guest room above Hu Wenzhi's head."
Hey, big brother, you are underestimating Poison Zun, in my opinion, Poison Zun's current appearance, I think it is disguised, right?"
The other man's voice answered.As for these two speakers, you are no stranger to them, they are Chixiao and Bixiao, who had previously failed to raid the three-character king in the forest, and later abandoned their companions and fled the scene.Of course, after the Wujian Villa incident, the two of them did not dare to report the name of "Jiuxiao Sword" on the rivers and lakes, or in public, and even did not dare to report their real names, otherwise they would probably be "swarmed up" by the righteous people who came to the rivers and lakes as a prestige bag.Fortunately, there were no photos back then, and there were only a few people who could recognize their appearance at a glance, so it was no problem for them to move around normally outside; As for each other, they are called brothers, and when asked about their names, they say "Hong Laoda" and "Hong Laoer".Right now, this Chixiao and Bixiao, at the behest of their "masked man" master, came to this inn to meet with the legendary "Shadowless Poison Venerable" and negotiate a commission for their master.Supposedly......
It is indeed a good choice to talk about things in this place, because in this kind of environment where the whole store is very noisy, inside and out, it is difficult for them to be overheard when they talk in the house; And if something unexpected arises during the negotiation, they can also use the crowd to create chaos and get out of the situation.But who would have thought that there was an ear master who had left the Central Plains martial arts for more than 20 years, and almost no one would guard against it, and it happened to be just right today to sit less than two meters under their feet in a joint table.To put it bluntly, he didn't want to hear these things at all, and he didn't want to be involved in these martial arts conspiracies that had nothing to do with him, but the first two sentences were poured into his ears, and he couldn't pretend not to hear them, right?"
There are some things that can be seen through and not explained, and you are a smart person."
After listening to the two words of Chixiao and Bixiao, the Shadowless Poison Venerable replied calmly and slowly in his old man's voice.This sentence sounds nothing at first glance, but it is actually a kind of intimidation, and it can even be said to be an ultimatum.If Chixiao and Bixiao don't know each other, and then talk about each other's "real appearance", maybe they won't be able to leave this inn today."
Uh......
Scold......
Yes, yes, what Poison Venerable said is extremely true. ”Chixiao is also an old Jianghu, it is impossible not to even understand such an obvious hint, he hurriedly responded, "Let's talk about trading." ”Hearing this, the poison venerable was silent for two seconds, and then spoke again: "Something, did you bring it?"
”Chixiao and Bixiao glanced at each other, and then Bixiao took out a small bag from his arms and put it on the table."
Right here."
Chixiao glanced at the burden, then raised his eyes to look at the poison venerable, and replied in a deep voice."
Lao Er, open it for me?"
Poison Zun said again.The two hesitated for a moment, and then Chixiao nodded at Bixiao, and Bixiao reached out, untied the two-layer baggage, and opened the brocade box inside, revealing a token contained in the box.The moment he saw the token, Poison Zun's eyes changed, his old face and cloudy eyes seemed to be more than ten years younger in an instant.However, he soon calmed down again, and let the "spirit" disappear from his face."
Poison Venerable, you shouldn't suspect that this token is fake, right?"
Bi Xiao saw that the other party didn't take it or speak for a long time, and thought it was the reason, so she asked."
Don't worry."
Poison Zun only replied at this time, "True Xia Ling, I still recognize it." ”He paused, "Let's wrap it up for me again." ”Chixiao and Bixiao exchanged glances again, and then Bixiao replied with a "OK", then closed the brocade box again and wrapped it in two layers of baggage."
Poison Venerable, what is our 'master' going to entrust you with......"
Chi Xiao saw that the other party had already accepted the payment, and continued."
I, Shadow Poison Venerable, since I have made a price and received a payment, I will definitely get things done."
Poison Venerable interrupted the other party and said, "Your master should know my rules, and the letter is ready, right?"
”"Eh, here I am."
Seeing that the other party finally mentioned it, Chixiao took out a letter from his arms, put it on the table, and placed it next to the baggage."
Hmm."
Poison Venerable glanced at the envelope and nodded, "Then, if it's okay, you two please." ”What he meant was that the baggage and the letters were left behind, and the person could go.Chi Xiao and Bi Xiao didn't want to be in the same room for a long time with this kind of person who was regarded as the "poison king", so as soon as the other party said this, they immediately got up and said goodbye, and quickly left the inn within a minute.After the two of them left, the poison venerable sat quietly in the room for a while, as if thinking about something.After a moment, he picked up the letter on the table and opened it to examine it.Then, he did something that many villains in film and television dramas especially like to do, that is, "talking to himself alone while reading some important information"."
Hmph......
Wu Mingzi, Wu Shenzi, after so many years, you are still the same, you like to hide your head and show your tail, and pretend to be smart......
"Knowing that the other party is a master of using drugs, he didn't dare to show up by himself and find two dogs to come forward......
The letter is written in your left hand, the same as when you 'did that'...... handwriting, "Obviously, your swordsmanship has long been the best in the world, but because you are too cautious, you never dare to reveal it, and you hide in the shadows all day long and persist in engaging in these conspiracies......
I really don't know if you are naturally timid or too inferior. ”Poison Zun muttered as he finished reading the letter with the entrustment on it.He memorized every word of the letter and burned it to ashes with a candle.Then, he slowly got up, put away the burden on the table, and walked out of the guest room.What he didn't know was that at this moment, there was a person downstairs who had inexplicably heard too much information that should not be heard and was extremely dangerous when he heard it, causing the pork liver in his bowl to be unfragrant.
