Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"Agreed so quickly? How about, Lao Liu, I give you some time and you can think about it carefully?"

Chu Mo looked at Shopkeeper Liu and asked with a smile.

"No need, uncle, I've thought about it very clearly. Being able to do things for you is a blessing that I have cultivated for three lifetimes."

Shopkeeper Liu said with a sincere face.

"Okay, since you are so impatient to express your loyalty, I reluctantly agree to your request and leave this task to you."

Shopkeeper Liu had ten thousand greetings whizzing through his mind, but he still kept a smile on his face:

"Thank you very much, uncle, for giving me such a rare opportunity. I will definitely work hard to complete this task."

"Very well, I like you."

Chu Mo patted Shopkeeper Liu on the shoulder, and then said with a serious face:

"I don't think I need to elaborate on how many stores Chu's chain has in Chang'an, right?"

"In addition, you should try your best to find out how many shops are hidden in the dark. The time is only from today to the start of the lantern festival tomorrow night."

"I want you to store at least 200 kilograms of charcoal, 20 kilograms of saltpeter, and 10 kilograms of sulfur in each of their stores."

“Remember, keep these things separate, not together.”

"In addition, don't think about fooling around. I will let the secret guards keep an eye on you, and I also have a list of Chu Xin's hidden shops here. If the number you find is less than what I know, then you are If you are perfunctory with me, I will let you know my anger when the time comes."

After hearing Chu Mo's story, Shopkeeper Liu originally thought that this was a simple task, but his relaxed mood suddenly rose again.

"Please rest assured, uncle, this mission is related to my family and life. I will never dare to be careless in the slightest. Please keep an eye on me, I will definitely satisfy you."

After releasing the task to Shopkeeper Liu, Chu Mo drove him away.

Thinking that he still had a big trouble to deal with, Chu Mo didn't waste any time and walked out directly with two secret guards.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she met Chu Ruowan who looked nervous.

"what happened?"

Chu Mo asked with concern.

"Sir, are you going out?"

Seeing Chu Mo, Chu Ruowan asked hurriedly.

"Yeah, what, what happened?"

Chu Mo nodded and asked.

Chu Ruowan glanced at the door and said with a wary look:

"Uncle, there is a beggar with a broken arm at the door. It seems that he is not a good person. How about you leave through the back door first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a hoarse voice:

"I want to run now, don't you think it's too late?"

Then, Chu Mo saw a beggar who was dressed in rags, dirty, unshaven, with a broken right arm and whose appearance he could not see coming in.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be coming with bad intentions, and the secret guards all looked at the other party with great solemnity, Chu Mo concluded that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.

"The one who will kill you."

While he was talking, the beggar stretched out his remaining left hand and grabbed Chu Mo.

Seeing this, Chu Ruowan immediately pulled Chu Mo and turned around to escape.

The rest of the secret guards rushed towards the beggar like a swarm of swarms.

However, all the secret guards were like moths rushing to a flame. Before they even got close to the beggar, they were swatted away like flies by him and fell to the ground not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Seeing that the other party was about to rush in front of him, Chu Mo hurriedly grabbed Chu Ruowan and turned around to block him behind him.

"Who are you, your Excellency? If you want to kill me, you should at least let me know why you died and be an understanding person."

After hearing Chu Mo's words, the beggar stopped half a meter away from Chu Mo, then stared at the only eye on his face that could still see the shape and shouted:

"You don't know who I am? You don't even know who I am? Why don't you even know who I am? I'm going to kill you!!!"

Seeing that the other party seemed a little nervous, Chu Mo hurriedly drank:

"This hero, it seems that I don't even know you. How do you want me to know your identity? With your appearance now, let alone me, even if your own mother comes, I'm afraid she won't be able to recognize you. ?”

"You dare to laugh at me?"

The beggar suddenly shouted loudly, raised his left hand, and was about to catch Chu Mo.

Seeing this, Chu Ruowan wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Chu Mo:

"My hero, I'm not laughing at you. I really can't recognize you when you look like this. How about I ask you to wash up for you? Let's sit down and have a good chat. If you want to kill me again then, I'll just do whatever you want."

"Are you stalling for time? Boy, let me tell you, stop having such wishful thinking. There are no master-level experts around here. Even if you are stalling for time, how long can you stall?"

Hearing what the other party said, Chu Mo's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the beggar in front of him was a master.

Taking a breath of air, Chu Mo quickly waved his hands and said:

"How can that be possible? My hero, you kill me like a chicken. Even if I play some conspiracy, in the face of your incomparable power, it will be like a cricket shaking a tree. It is simply asking for self-humiliation. .”

"The reason why I'm like this is because I can't see how you used to be a beautiful tree in the wind, but now you're in such a state of shabby clothes. I'm afraid you'll be misunderstood by those gossipy people outside."

"Do you really think so? Isn't there some conspiracy?"

The beggar was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously.

"Of course, don't you understand me? I am known as the Honest Young Man, and my words are like the water of the Yellow River. I claim to be second, but no one dares to say I am first."

The beggar looked Chu Mo up and down doubtfully, and then looked at the dirt all over his body. Just when he was undecided, the clever Chu Ruowan took out a small bronze mirror from his arms and handed it over and said:

"Senior, my lord is right. If you are like this, even if the Great Luo Immortal comes, he will not recognize you."

The beggar took the bronze mirror and after just a casual glance, he was so frightened that he crushed the entire bronze mirror into pieces:

"Don't tell me, I'm the one inside this!!!"

The beggar roared at Chu Mo and Chu Ruowan.

Neither of them spoke, they just lowered their heads silently and let the beggar roar without saying a word.

After roaring for a while, the beggar finally regained his senses. He grabbed Chu Mo's collar and shouted:

"Take me to bathe and change clothes. I want to bathe with rootless water. I want to use the best aromatherapy. I want to use the best soap in Chu's chain. Everything must be the best, do you know?"

Looking at the crazy beggar in front of him, Chu Mo nodded repeatedly, not daring to slack off at all, and immediately asked Chu Ruowan to make arrangements.

Soon, everything was ready. Just when Chu Mo sent the beggar into the room to take a bath, a cold words suddenly came from the other party:

"Boy, don't even think about escaping. If you dare to escape, then I will send everyone here to be buried with you."
