Taking Advantage of Others [Rebirth]

Shen Qingyu tossed and turned sleeplessly all night, but all he thought about was about Yue Xiao.

He knew that without Yue Xiao's help, his revenge plan would be more difficult to continue, but it was not impossible to go on.

In the middle of the night, he finally fell asleep in a daze. In his drowsiness, he even started to think wildly in his mind, thinking that Pei Yun only gave Yue Xiao a night of thinking time, so he would just explain the matter to Pei Yun tomorrow morning Well, I will bid farewell in a few days.

When he woke up the next day, he felt how absurd his thoughts last night were, but he couldn't think of more solutions for a while, so he got up and changed his clothes while thinking about it.

Today, for some reason, there has been a lot of noise outside the courtyard, but there are many disciples in the villa, and there are occasional romps, Shen Qingyu didn't think much about it, when he got dressed and was about to go out, he saw Shen Ruiwen carrying a copper basin in the courtyard, and was about to go After fetching some hot water, when he saw him going out, he turned his head to greet him. Shen Qingyu couldn't help being surprised, and asked, "Brother? Why did you wake up so early?"

In the past few days when Shen Qingyu practiced martial arts with Yue Xiao, he often got up by the time of daylight, but today he got up a bit late, the sky outside was already bright, but even so, Shen Ruiwen shouldn't have gotten up so early.

He had just finished asking, and hadn't heard Shen Ruiwen's answer, when suddenly he heard a burst of firecrackers crackling outside, Shen Ruiwen was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot, almost threw the copper basin in his hand to the ground, muttering Complained, saying: "They made a fuss so early in the morning that I couldn't sleep, so I just woke up."

Shen Qingyu frowned and looked out of the courtyard, asking, "What happened?"

Shen Ruiwen shook his head: "I don't know either."

He quickly washed and changed his clothes, and was about to drag Shen Qingyu out to watch the excitement. Shen Qingyu followed him and walked a few steps, and found that there were a few disciples setting off firecrackers outside, Yue Xiao, Ling Zichu and others were here, Ling Zichu Following Yue Xiao step by step, he said: "Brother Yue, if you want to be the owner of the villa, don't forget your brother and me in the future!"

Shen Qingyu's heart skipped a beat, he took two steps forward in astonishment, grabbed Yue Xiao's sleeve, and asked, "What owner?"

Ling Zichu looked happier than the disciples of the villa, and said, "Hero Yue will be the owner of the villa..."

Yue Xiao knew that Shen Qingyu was quite worried about this matter, but after all, there were so many people here, so he held Shen Qingyu's hand instead, and said in a low voice, "I'll explain to you later."

Shen Ruiwen was even more at a loss: "The owner? What owner?"

They made a lot of noise, during the conversation, Pei Yun, Jiangyan and others also got up. As soon as Jiang Yan appeared, the disciples in the village who were still making a fuss fell silent for a moment, and even a few people took advantage of the gap and slipped away.And when Pei Yun frowned and looked at Yue Xiao, Yue Xiao felt flustered for a while, thinking that the senior sister was going to teach him that his behavior was too high-profile, and was about to admit his mistake in advance, but Pei Yun smiled at him and said: "A Xiao, Although the day has not been chosen for you to succeed as the owner of the villa, in the eyes of senior sister, you are already the owner of the villa."

Yue Xiao never expected that Pei Yun would say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that the senior sister is really angry, and what he said must be ironic, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, senior sister, I I know, I shouldn't..."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Pei Yun pressed his shoulders, showed a meaningful smile, and said, "However, since you are already the owner of the villa..."

She waved her hand, and several servants brought a pile of letters and account books of the branch hall. The number was extremely terrifying, and a group of people stood in front of Yue Xiao in unison. yes?"

"Since you are the owner of the villa, of course I will leave these matters to you." Pei Yun patted Yue Xiao's shoulder with a slight smile, made a cheering gesture to him, and said, "A Xiao, you can Oh!"

Yue Xiao: "..."

……

The affairs in the villa were originally presided over by Pei Yun.

When Yue Xiao was in the villa, although he had learned how to handle the affairs of the villa, he seldom handled these matters. Looking at the pile of letters and books on the table now, he only felt that one head and two were bigger, and he even began to regret his decision last night .

He just said that he wanted to have a private chat with Shen Qingyu about this matter, so Shen Qingyu followed him to the study room, frowned and asked, "You already... agreed?"

"I decided to do this when my father died." Yue Xiao said, "You don't have to think about it."

However, Shen Qingyu still felt that there was his reason. He frowned for a long time, hesitated to speak several times, and finally didn't know what to say to Yue Xiao. He only felt that the affection was so deep. I don't know how to repay.

And Yue Xiao pushed the account book on the table, rubbed his head and said, "Don't read it! Let's practice the sword first."

Shen Qingyu was thinking wildly, and didn't notice that he was dragged up the mountain by Yue Xiao. After walking a few steps, he came back to his senses. He couldn't help asking, "You went up the mountain with me to practice swordsmanship. What about those letters and official documents?"

Yue Xiao said: "When the car reaches the mountain, there must be a way—"

Shen Qingyu was speechless for a moment.

Yue Xiao said again: "What Senior Meng said that day, I will send someone to leave the villa with him in the next few days."

Shen Qingyu nodded, but he just faltered and said: "Thank you."

"Why do you have to be polite to me?" Yue Xiao said with a smile, "I'll revise the door rules after Senior Sister has chosen a date."

Mentioning Pei Yun, Shen Qingyu had many things he couldn't figure out, so he couldn't help asking Yue Xiao, "When your senior sister said those words to you last night...why did you ask me to go there with you?"

He originally thought that Pei Yun was trying to warn him so that he would stay away from Yue Xiao, but now it seemed that was not the case. He couldn't understand Pei Yun's intention, so he had no choice but to ask Yue Xiao.

"She wants you to persuade me." Yue Xiao said, "My senior sister knows who is useful to me."

Shen Qingyu was startled: "Let me persuade you?"

The two of them had already reached the cliff, and Yue Xiao was about to answer him when he saw Yan Yang waving to them both from the cliff.

After Yanyang was slandered by Zhang Xiuyuan and forced to betray Ling Kong, Yue Xiao took Yanyang to the villa, and finally asked Yanyang if he wanted to practice swords with him.

Shen Qingyu once told Yanyang that He Zhufeng repeatedly defended him, so Yanyang still feels that it is only Zhang Xiuyuan and his brother who are bad, not his entire sect, but he can't go back no matter what.Furthermore, if you miss the best time to practice martial arts in your youth, when you get older, even if you are very talented, if you want to make achievements, unless you are like Shen Qingyu, you will desperately practice some magic book. , otherwise it is difficult to have any results.

Yan Yang was born in a well-known and upright family, and he has been deeply aware of this truth since he was a child. Yue Xiao and Shen Qingyu treated him very well, he hesitated for a few days, and finally worshiped Yue Xiao as his teacher, and learned swords with Yue Xiao.

He already had a solid foundation, these days Yue Xiao just asked him to follow the rest of the disciples in the village, and learn the introductory mentality of the village first, Yue Xiao estimated that it would take him several months to achieve a little success, so he didn't interfere too much Now, of course, I don't know why Yanyang appeared here, and he was a little surprised. Then he saw Ling Zichu's head popping up behind Yanyang, and he paused again, wanting to go down the mountain and run away.

Ling Zichu and Yanyang brought food to them.

Shen Ruiwen had something to do today, so he entrusted Yanyang to deliver the meal. He didn't want Ling Zichu to see Yanyang going up the mountain to deliver the meal, so he immediately followed him.But Yanyang didn't know that Yue Xiao was trapped in the study by the official letter, and there was no one on the cliff. He was about to go down the mountain, but he happened to see Yue Xiao and Shen Qingyu who were going up the mountain together.

Seeing the two of them appearing at the beginning, Ling Zichu was uncharacteristically, and did not go up to pester Yue Xiao as before. At this time, he looked like he was going to talk about business, and after Yanyang handed the food box to the two, he said: "Qing Yu, do you still remember that the master once said that he would go to the rivers and lakes to search for the most poisonous thing used by his adoptive father when he went astray?"

Of course Shen Qingyu remembered this, he nodded, and Yue Xiao also said, "I'm planning to send someone to escort Senior Meng down the mountain."

Ling Zichu said, "Master seems to have found it."

Shen Qingyu was startled, and couldn't help being extremely surprised: "What?"

Meng Jing has been researching Ling Xingzhi's cultivation methods based on Qi Qi's secret books all the way. After leaving the customs and arriving at Xuanshuang Villa, there is a lot of books here, and there are many medical classics and local chronicles left by his ancestors. Meng Jing looked at them one by one, and combined with what Ling Xingzhi did when he was traveling around the world, he finally came to a conclusion and understood where the first place he should go now was.

Yue Xiao asked: "Has he been found?"

Ling Zichu: "At least [-]% to [-]% sure."

He paused, then turned to look at Shen Qingyu, asking Shen Qingyu to stretch out his hand, and he felt Shen Qingyu's pulse again, and then spoke after a while: "The poison in Qingyu's body has dissipated by [-]% or [-]%, so now his body is almost gone. It's back to normal, but if the lingering poison doesn't dissipate, I'm afraid that even if you learn the inner strength and mental method of diverging, you won't be able to perform as usual."

Shen Qingyu had already noticed what Ling Zichu said.

It has been several months since he got the Qi Qi, he practiced the inner strength according to the method recorded in the secret book, and after several months of effort, even the most dull person can make some progress.Shen Qingyu was different, at first he was doing well, but now that he is more diligent, when he moves his inner breath a little, he feels tightness in his chest and a dull pain in his dantian.He also asked Meng Jing to check his pulse. Meng Jing only said that the residual poison had not dissipated, and it would take a while until all the poison in his body was resolved.

But the longer he waited, the more he felt that the symptoms worsened. If this continued, even if he mastered those few pieces of internal skills, they would still be all moves that he couldn't use. What's the use?At that time Meng Jing didn't tell him how to get rid of the remaining poison, but now Ling Zichu also mentioned this matter, telling him that he just needs to continue to follow the secret books of the cultivation method, and when the martial arts is more refined, it can be resolved.

It's just that according to his current speed, after a period of time, he will have to use the medicinal herbs that Meng Jing has found in order to make progress.

Shen Qingyu had no choice but to ask: "Where is the thing Senior Meng said?"

Ling Zichu closed the fan and said firmly, "In the Western Regions."

……

If you want to take revenge, the most important thing is to undo the poison from Shen Qingyu's body.

Ling Zichu and Yan Yang stayed on the cliff to watch the two of them practice martial arts, and Shen Qingyu also fought a few tricks with Yan Yang.He finally understood the meaning of what Yue Xiao said. He couldn't see Yue Xiao's figure at all, but if he got used to Yue Xiao's speed, when he went to see Yanyang again, he obviously felt that Yanyang was much slower.But so far he can only "see clearly", if it comes to a fight, he is really not Yan Yang's opponent, and he will be defeated in just a few moves.

Yan Yang was extremely surprised. A few months ago, Shen Qingyu was still a sick child who took one step at a time, but now he can barely fight against him. What his master taught him is to be down-to-earth, and after a solid foundation, follow the steps step by step, how to think There are such weird things in this world.

The two stopped their hands to rest, Yan Yang couldn't help but asked: "The young master has made progress too fast, right?"

Yue Xiao also agreed, saying: "Why don't you say that divergence is a magic skill?"

"If you gain something, you will lose it. If you have practiced this exercise, you can still have future generations because your ancestors burned high incense." Ling Zichu took the words smoothly, and said, "Even if you have it, there is poison in your blood. It cannot be said that he cannot live beyond the age of ten, and when the poison occurs, he can only rely on continuing to learn this exercise to alleviate it, not to mention being chased and killed by thousands of knights in the Central Plains martial arts as a devil."

When he said this, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and quietly turned his head to look at Shen Qingyu's expression, so as not to make Shen Qingyu unhappy with what he said.

But Shen Qingyu didn't think much of it, just thought they were chatting, Ling Zichu felt relieved, and was about to come to a final conclusion to lead Yan Yang on the right path, but unexpectedly Yan Yang spoke without restraint, and suddenly said: : "Then isn't this the ultimate skill?"

Ling Zichu choked on water, coughed for a long time and couldn't speak, Yan Yang realized that he had said something wrong, hurriedly covered his mouth, and looked at Shen Qingyu in panic.

Shen Qingyu frowned slightly, but he still didn't seem to mind what they said, while Yan Yang covered his mouth and looked back and forth between Shen Qingyu and Yue Xiao. Together, isn't this practice the same as having no adverse consequences for the young master?

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yue Xiao broke the silence just in time and said, "It's time to go down the mountain."

Ling Zichu hurriedly got up with Yan Yang, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I will report back to Master first."

They went down the cliff again along the mountain path, but no one dared to speak anymore.Of course, Shen Qingyu knew what they were struggling with, and he didn't mind at all, but when their conversation involved this kind of thing, he inevitably felt embarrassed, so he shut up.All the way to the villa, before Yue Xiao took over the affairs of the villa, he went to find Pei Yun to discuss sending someone to escort Meng Jing to the Western Regions.

This matter had a lot to do with Shen Qingyu, so he brought Shen Qingyu along with him, but Pei Yun agreed so easily, which surprised both of them. It was meal time, and Pei Yun asked them to have a meal together , and even poured an extra bowl of soup for Shen Qingyu, saying that he has worked hard in martial arts and should make up for it these days.

Shen Qingyu was very surprised. In his heart, Pei Yun should have been extremely dissatisfied with him, why did he suddenly change his attitude today?He finished his meal tremblingly, with inexplicable fear in his heart. Fortunately, Yue Xiao didn't want to stay here any longer, so he dragged him to pick someone to follow Meng Jing down the mountain. After a long time of hard work, he finally arranged things properly. The people went back to their houses to rest without talking.

The next day they sent Meng Jing and his accompanying disciples down the mountain, it was mid-spring at this time, but it was still cold and cold outside the pass, the thin snow in the mountains was hard to melt, Shen Qingyu and Meng Jing bid farewell.We have been together for several months, although we can't talk about how close we are, but after all we have the same goal and the way we want to go. When we parted, it was a bit hard to say.

In the days to come, while waiting for Meng Jing's news, he continued to practice martial arts with Yue Xiao. The journey from outside the pass to the Western Regions was long, and he knew he shouldn't be so impatient.It's just that although the book says that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, he really doesn't have the patience to endure humiliation.

He practiced martial arts hard with his life, so naturally he improved extremely quickly, and after a few months, he was able to compete with Yan Yang.It's just that there has been no news from Meng Jing, the residual poison in his body is incomprehensible, no matter how difficult it is to develop his internal strength, and even intensified, now he just moves his inner breath, and he feels his breath surging, needless to say the severe pain in his dantian, although his saber technique is no longer He has made some small achievements, but he can only deceive ordinary people. If he meets Lian Jiazi with deep inner strength, he will definitely suffer.

And Yue Xiao accompanied him to practice martial arts during the day, but at night he had to deal with official documents in the villa.Not long after Meng Jing came down from the mountain, he took over the position of owner of the villa, and Pei Yun gradually had to transfer the affairs in his hands to him.He had to get up early every day to practice martial arts with Shen Qingyu and teach Yanyang sword skills. After returning to the villa, he had to light up the lamp until late at night. After several months of tossing like this, he lost a lot of weight.

Shen Qingyu always felt that Yue Xiao took over the position of owner because of him, and he felt guilty, so he always wanted to share the burden for Yue Xiao.Yue Xiao felt that he had nothing to hide from him, so he really divided half of the affairs at hand to him.Back then when Shen Qingyu was in Shen's house, because he couldn't practice martial arts, Shen Qi taught him how to assist Yao Lianqing in handling the affairs of the mansion. Now that he and Yue Xiao have divided the work, the speed is indeed much faster.

Pei Yun had already noticed that she would occasionally look through the official documents that Yue Xiao had processed. She was worried that her junior brother would make mistakes when she first started, but unexpectedly found two kinds of handwriting on the documents.Yue Xiao came from a famous family anyway, and his handwriting is excellent, but he is usually scribbled and quite uninhibited. Obviously, this correct lowercase script was not written by him, and you can know whose handwriting it is after a little thought.

However, Pei Yun didn't care too much. She knew the relationship between Yue Xiao and Shen Qingyu, so she just laughed it off and ordered her servants to remember to prepare more soups, medicines and supplements. He sends it over.

Several months passed like this, before and after the summer solstice, Shen Qingyu and Yue Xiao were practicing swords on the cliff one day, when they suddenly saw Ling Zichu running down the mountain happily, holding a letter in his hand, and came towards them from a long distance away. Shouting, said: "Qing Yu, Master has sent a letter back!"

He opened the letter and read it. Meng Jing said that he had found the Sun Yang Grass in the Western Regions, but the local situation was complicated, and it was really difficult for them to bring it back.

Shen Qingyu and Yue Xiao have already thought about this matter. In this arena, no matter it is the most poisonous thing or the panacea, once it is in the world, there will be thousands of people scrambling for it. It is easy and difficult to obtain. Meng Jing just brought a few people with him It is naturally extremely difficult for the guards to go to the Western Regions.They were already prepared to leave for the Western Regions after receiving the news, so they went down the cliff together like this. Yue Xiao went to discuss the matter of leaving the village, while Shen Qingyu took the letter and carefully read it several times.

Meng Jing only said that they found out the whereabouts of the Suyanghua he was looking for in a town called Salmorro outside the Western Regions, but it seemed that this thing was already owned by a wealthy local businessman, and they couldn't see that person , I couldn't negotiate for a while, so I could only write back, asking Master Yue to send someone to go.

In the letter, Meng Jing specially emphasized several times, saying that this matter might not be as simple as they thought, if Shen Qingyu and the others wanted to leave for the Western Regions, they must be careful, he would wait for their arrival in Salmolo.

But he didn't explain in his heart what he was worried about. He only said that it was not easy to say clearly in the letter, and it was best to talk about it after meeting.

Yue Xiao has also read this letter, they don't know much about the Western Regions, and there are many capable people in the Western Regions, and the local forces are complex, Yue Xiao fears that it will be dangerous to act rashly, but the speed of the brigade is slow, so Yue Xiao discussed with Pei Yun , it was decided that Yue Xiao, Shen Qingyu, Ling Zichu, and Yanyang would go first, and Jiang Yan would rectify it later, and bring some more disciples from the village to catch up.

In the past few months, Yue Xiao has also made some investigations into the local Jianghu sects in the Western Regions.Most of the Western Regions are Hu people, and their customs and beliefs are quite different from those in the Central Plains. Therefore, many people in the Central Plains all call them heretics, and because most of the Hu people in the Western Regions dress boldly, they feel that they are corrupt by nature and disdain to associate with them.

Now the most powerful sect in the Western Regions should be the Burning Fire Palace, but Yue Xiao is not very clear about the specific situation of this sect, and everything can only be discussed in the Western Regions.

……

It would be much easier if there were only four of them together.

That night, several people went back to prepare their bags, and in the afternoon of the next day, they were packed and ready to leave.

From outside the customs to the Western Regions, the journey is long, even if it is a good horse traveling day and night, it will take at least two months.Fortunately, at this time, Shen Qingyu was no longer the useless sick man when he left the customs at the beginning of the day. On the contrary, Ling Zichu became a person who needed the care of others during this trip. When he left the customs, he had been tossed until he had only half his life left.

Not far after leaving the customs, there was only the Gobi Desert left. To go further, you can only rely on camels and walking. Ling Zichu really couldn't walk anymore, so Yue Xiao asked Yanyang to stay and take care of him. On the way, he and Shen Qingyu accompanied the caravan towards Salmoro.

The Gobi scenery was magnificent, but Shen Qingyu didn't have much mood to appreciate it. He was so worried that he seemed to have less words to say.

The caravan they accompanied only regarded the two as friends, Shen Qingyu didn't communicate with them very much, he couldn't understand the Chinese spoken by those people, but Yue Xiao was curious. However, after going back and forth, they asked a lot of news.

This Salmorro is the largest commercial city of this generation. There are many Chinese merchants in the city, and there are also chambers of commerce. Most of these Han merchants were brought by a wealthy businessman named Gu.But because of this, there are many people in the city, and many atrocities that are rare in the Central Plains are extremely common here.

Speaking up to this point, the caravan leader pointed at Shen Qingyu jokingly, and said, "A fair and clean young man like him is a hot commodity on the black market."

Yue Xiao also smiled at him lightly: "If he goes to the black market, whoever dares to do anything to him, I will chop off that person's hand."

The leader of the caravan shrank his neck, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words, he just muttered: "People from the Central Plains, it's scary."

……

Ten days later, the two finally arrived in Salmorro.

Yue Xiao bid farewell to the caravan at the gate of the city. He wanted to go to the inn that Meng Jing had mentioned in his heart to find him, but when he entered the city, Shen Qingyu had a sharp eye and saw Meng Jing who had changed into a local costume at a glance. , set up a stall in the market, and was taking the pulse of a local uncle to see a doctor.

A flag was planted by the side of the stall, and it was written in the language of the Western Regions. Shen Qingyu couldn't understand it, but on the other side was written the words "Han Yi Hua Tuo is alive" in lower case letters, which Shen Qingyu could understand. Maybe it was because Meng Jing felt that he was waiting for them to be bored, so he simply resumed his old business on the street. The business was still booming, and there was a long line in front of the stall, and Meng Jing was followed by a disciple from the mountain villa sent by Yue Xiao to protect him. Leaning on the handle of the knife and drowsy, he was obviously used to what Meng Jing did.

When Shen Qingyu walked over, Meng Jing was negotiating with that person in a very poorly spoken Chinese dialect. Shen Qingyu only listened to a sentence, and knew that Meng Jing was talking to the lion. He was speechless for a while, and finally understood what Ling Zichu was. From whom did you learn to plan carefully and see money.

There was a lot of wind and sand outside the Western Regions, and Shen Qingyu covered his face like the locals. In addition, he practiced martial arts these days, instead of being sickly and always hunched over and coughing, he looked more and more tall and straight. Meng Jing didn't recognize it at first glance. He came and saw him squeezed to the front of the line, and said something very substandard to him, Shen Qingyu naturally couldn't understand, so Meng Jing switched back to Chinese and said: "If you want to see a doctor, you will wait later." go."

Shen Qingyu couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Senior Meng, it's me."

Meng Jing was so frightened that he almost lost the pen in his hand. When he looked up, Shen Qingyu took off the mask that protected him from the wind and sand. Before he could speak in the future, Meng Jing grabbed his hand and said excitedly. : "Young master, you are finally here."

……

Seeing Yue Xiao and Shen Qingyu came here, Meng Jing didn't even want to set up the stall. After dismissing the crowd, he closed the stall and said to Shen Qingyu: "Young master, this is not a place to talk, you come with the old man."

He took Shen Qingyu and Yue Xiao back to the place where he stayed here, explaining what he was doing just now, and said: "The old man has been waiting here for several months, thinking about being idle is also idle... "

Shen Qingyu coughed lightly, and said, "I understand."

"We originally stayed in the inn, but we thought it would take months for you, young master, to arrive, so we temporarily rented a few rooms outside." Meng Jing said, "Fortunately, there are a lot of Han people here, so we live and move around on weekdays. striking."

From what Meng Jing said, Shen Qingyu learned that although Salmorro is a town in the Western Regions, there are many Han merchants walking around here, and the rich merchant with Suyanghua mentioned in Meng Jing's letter was named Calling Gu Qixiang, who made his fortune by reselling things from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, is now the richest Han merchant in Salmorro.

During the conversation, they arrived at the courtyard Meng Jing rented here, where most of the villa disciples sent by Yue Xiao rested.Meng Jing invited the two of them into the house, and there was no tea in the Western Regions, so he poured local Hujiu for them, and asked people to prepare meals for them, while talking about Gu Qixiang with Shen Qingyu.

Meng Jing also investigated for several months, and more or less learned some rumors about Gu Qixiang's identity. It is said that this person was originally from Shanxi Province. After the government found out, they took the money and fled to Fujian, and simply started making money.After such a period of time, he relied on the money he saved to buy a big ship, went to foreign lands, and made a lot of money by trading Kunlun slaves to wealthy families. , seriously started the business between the Western Regions and the Central Plains.

But even so, it is said that he is still not clean in private, and Meng Jing has also investigated several times. When Gu Qixiang brought the goods from the Western Regions back to the Central Plains, he would occasionally bring the beautiful orchids from the Western Regions back to the Central Plains for trading. He only takes one or two at a time, but they are all stunning, and most of the people he picks are blond and blue-eyed, which are very rare in the Central Plains. Those wealthy businessmen find it strange, so they will pay a high price to buy it. It is really a profitable business.

However, due to the prosperous business and trade in Salmorro and several surrounding towns, the status of merchants is extremely high, which is quite different from that in the Central Plains.Gu Qixiang is the richest businessman in Salmorro, so he has great power in this generation.

Meng Jing originally thought that Gu Qixiang was a businessman, so he should be able to do this business with him, so he kept his mind on it, and managed to contact Gu Qixiang under a false name, and made an appointment to meet in a restaurant in a nearby town. He didn't want Gu Qixiang to come here at all. , but he asked one of his subordinates, Yan, to bring a message, and refused Meng Jing's deal without thinking about it.

When Ye Mengjing returned from the city to Salmorro, he ran into robbers inexplicably. Fortunately, he was protected by the disciples of the villa sent by Yue Xiao, so he escaped. Looking at the robbers, they were all well-equipped. It's ordinary thugs.

Meng Jing couldn't help being suspicious, thinking that all this was too coincidental. After writing back to the villa, he conducted private investigations for several months and vaguely found another incident, which might be related to Suyanghua.

Shen Qingyu couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Senior Meng, what did you find?"

Meng Jing sighed.

"It's still those robbers." Meng Jing said, "They look well-equipped, they don't look like ordinary robbers, and none of them are afraid of death, which is really suspicious."

"Senior Meng suspects that they are Gu Qixiang's people?" Yue Xiao smiled and said, "As long as the price is high enough, it is not difficult to select a few dead men."

"It's not a dead man." Meng Jing emphasized, "That's definitely not a dead man."

Being brave and not afraid of death is a dead man, but he still doesn't feel pain after being hacked several times, even when he was dying, he just wanted to kill Meng Jing, which is already very human.It's just that the situation was extremely dangerous at that time, and those people wanted to kill Meng Jing desperately. In order to protect him, the disciples of the villa had to wipe out all the robbers, leaving no one alive, so Meng Jing still couldn't figure out what was going on. .

And they themselves also injured several people, retreated to Salmoro to rest, kept a low profile for a while, and reappeared to act after seeing that there was no danger.

Yue Xiao felt helpless for a while, and said, "Since you suspect that Gu Qixiang wants to kill you, how dare you openly set up a stall on the street to see a doctor?"

Meng Jing smiled sarcastically, and said, "Gu Qixiang is not in Salmoro these few days, and my hands are itchy for a while..."

Shen Qingyu asked: "Senior Meng, are you sure it's Gu Qixiang who wants to attack you?"

"I'm not sure, but it might be." Meng Jing said, "After we met the robbers that time, we returned to Salmorro, and soon encountered strange things again."

According to Meng Jing, this strange incident was not aimed at them. It should be said that it was just a coincidence.

After they returned to Salmorro, they maintained a low profile for a period of time, and during this period, many strange things happened in Salmorro.

In the beginning, someone was killing someone on the street. The prisoner seemed to be insane. He was so powerful that several people couldn't stop him until he died of exhaustion. Meng Jing looked at him from a distance and felt that the man was controlled by drugs. They don't know it at all.

The local government had a close relationship with Gu Qixiang's chamber of commerce. Meng Jing was worried that his investigation of this matter would attract Gu Qixiang's attention, so naturally he could not get any clues from the government.

And at that time, he was free and bored and set up a doctor's stall on the streets of Salmorro. He was a genius doctor, and the people who came to see him were at most only minor ailments and pains. He soon gained a lot of fame in the local area. , By chance, soon after, someone brought a mad patient to him for treatment.

This disease is weird, and even a genius doctor like Meng Jing has never seen it before. At first, he could only judge what kind of medicine he had taken by mistake, which led to the man's madness. When he asked the patient's relatives, When he learned that this person was still normal, he went to the gold sales den under the name of Gu Qixiang.

You can't help gambling here, you can't help fighting, Gu Qixiang took this opportunity to build a huge gold selling cave in Salmorro, from wine and beauty, to all kinds of casinos, and even an arena where people fight with each other , both.

When Gu Qixiang was involved in the matter, Meng Jing had a different idea. He studied for several days and finally found an antidote to relieve the disease. He also guessed based on the properties of the medicine that the strange medicine that could drive people crazy might be Suyanghua.

Yue Xiao was still in a daze after hearing him tell the whole story. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't there only one Suyang flower? Can you make so many medicinal powders? And distribute them to such unrelated people? Gu Qixiang...isn't she too selfless?"

"If Suyanghua is cultivated properly, it's not difficult to grow a piece of it." Meng Jing stroked his beard and said, "It's just that what we want is a plant that has grown for many years. The first Suyanghua, the rest is for the young master , I'm afraid the medicine is not enough."

Yue Xiao asked again: "Those people will go crazy after eating, will Qing Yu be fine?"

"With me here, Hero Yue doesn't have to be afraid." Meng Jing said, "Into Qi is the mentality of fighting poison with poison. The more poisonous the thing, the more help it will be to the young master."

Yue Xiao simply nodded and said, "I understand, what we have to do now is to find this Gu Qixiang—"

"I'm afraid it's not that easy. According to what Senior Meng said, Gu Qixiang is a businessman. If there is no profit for him, he would not raise so many Sunyang flowers." Shen Qingyu frowned slightly, "Senior Meng just wanted to To do business with him, he would send someone to kill Senior Meng, if there is no deep hatred, why bother?"

Yue Xiao had an epiphany: "I'm afraid that the deep hatred of people who are only interested in profit can only cut off people's wealth?"

After Meng Jing talked so much, when he was thirsty, he drank two glasses of water before he said: "Young master, I can't help you with how to investigate, but I can do it for you." The young master has a suggestion."

Shen Qingyu nodded and said, "Senior Meng, please tell me."

"Although I have searched for a long time, the only clue that can be called a clue now is actually only that one." Meng Jing said, "If you want to investigate, you should start from there."

Shen Qingyu hadn't opened his mouth to agree, but Yue Xiao smiled slightly, and said: "You are a beautiful woman with good wine and gambling, Yue is really looking forward to it."

Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Qingyu frowned and looked at him. He coughed lightly and turned his eyes away. Meng Jing couldn't help laughing. He got up and rummaged around the cabinet for a while, and took out two tightly packed bags. The solid medicinal herbs gave off some unique and strange fragrances, like a sachet, which was handed over to Shen Qingyu.

"If there is really maddening medicinal powder there, I am afraid that the young master will be in danger." Meng Jing said, "Carrying this spice with you can detoxify the poison of the medicinal powder. Young master, Yue Daxia, it is better for you to carry it close to your body."

Shen Qingyu immediately took off the sachet and put in the herbal medicine Meng Jing gave, but Yue Xiao still had some unbelief, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is it really that scary?"

"One thing more is worse than one thing less." Shen Qingyu helped Yue Xiao pack the sachet, handed it to him, and said, "You should take it with you."

Yue Xiao took the sachet from Shen Qingyu's hand with a smile, and while Meng Jing was still present, he purposely leaned into Shen Qingyu's ear and said, "The purse Qing Yu gave me is a token of love, of course I have to wear it. "

In the past few months of getting along, Shen Qingyu seemed to have gotten used to his slick tongue. Hearing what Yue Xiao said, he just raised his eyebrows and replied: "Master Yue's slick tongue is indeed unmatched by anyone."

Yue Xiao also laughed, and whispered under his throat: "Master Shen, don't worry, Yue will only treat you with a slippery tongue in this life."

He accepted the sachet, hung it on his waist, and said, "This Gu Qixiang can be regarded as a wealthy businessman."

Shen Qingyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How?"

"Of course it's about his gold-selling cave—" Yue Xiao slowed down his tone and said with a smile, "full of curiosity."
