Taking Advantage of Others [Rebirth]
Chapter 26
Zhuquelou is the most famous restaurant in Salmorone. The owner is a Han Chinese, so he gave the restaurant a Chinese name.
It is said that the dragon paste wine in Zhuque Tower is the best in the city. Yue Xiao ordered a pot when he entered the building, but lost interest after two mouthfuls. He was somewhat interested, but the mutton was not yet cooked, and a Han boy knocked on their door, and asked them with a low eyebrow, "Are you two distinguished guests from Piao Miao Jian?"
Yue Xiao and Shen Qingyu looked at each other, but they didn't answer. They knocked on the table and poured wine with a smile, saying, "Qing Yu, this is good wine."
After the two of them collected the note last night, although they didn't know whether it was a trap or a clue, they didn't have much choice at the moment, so they could only come here for a break.
Shen Qingyu took a sip, nodded and said, "It's indeed a good wine."
The young man had no choice but to smile and said, "You two, our master invites—"
Yue Xiao glanced at him and asked, "Who is your master?"
"It's...it's hard for a villain to say." The boy said, "You will know when the uncle comes with me."
Shen Qingyu nodded. At this point, if they want to get clues again, they can only follow the other party's wishes, so the two got up and followed the young man to a private room opposite.
There were already two people waiting in the private room, one was the Orchid they saw last night, wrapped in a red robe and leaning against the corner, when they saw the two coming in, they just saluted, but still didn't say a word.The other person was a Hu-Han mixed blood, his physique was as big as two orchids, and he clasped his fists hoarsely at the two, following the etiquette of the Central Plains Jianghu.
"It's really presumptuous to invite two heroes here suddenly." The man said, "My Chinese name is Fuzhou."
Yue Xiao frowned and thought about whether there is such a number one person in the Jianghu, but when he failed, he asked bluntly, "Who are you? Why did you want us to come here?"
Fu Zhou laughed in a rough voice, and said: "Hero Yue is an old man, if you look at the weapons below, you should be able to guess my identity."
He took out the weapon that had just been placed under the table. The weapon looked weird, like a wheel, but when it was taken apart, it turned out to be two extremely sharp sabers. Yue Xiao was slightly startled, and really recognized his identity , raised eyebrows and whispered: "Burning Fire Palace."
"Hero Yue has good eyesight." Fu Zhou said, "I'm the Qing Zuo envoy of Burning Fire Palace, that's the palace disciple Pa La."
That orchid raised her eyes and winked at the two of them.
Yue Xiao couldn't figure out his details, so he just smiled at him and said, "What is Burning Fire Palace looking for us for?"
"It was clearly written on the note last night." Fu Zhou laughed and said, "Isn't Yue Daxia investigating Gu Qixiang?"
Yue Xiao couldn't help being more vigilant.
"You don't have to worry about Yue Daxia. Fu is just ordered by the Palace Master to join hands with Yue Daxia to bring down Gu Qixiang." Fu Zhou asked Yue Xiao and Shen Qingyu to sit down, and asked them to serve wine, saying, "Gu Qixiang is very powerful here, if Yue Daxia only wants to defeat them with his own strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Yue Xiao said with a half smile but not a smile: "Who said I'm going to bring down Gu Qixiang."
"Fu knows that what Yue Daxia wants is only the Suyanghua in Gu Qixiang's hands, but Gu Qixiang regards the flower as his lifeblood, and is heavily guarded by guards. It may not be easy to get Suyanghua," Fu Zhou said. , "Of course, maybe guarding is not a problem for Yue Daxia, but... Yue Daxia probably doesn't know where Gu Qixiang hid Suyanghua?"
Shen Qingyu was very vigilant in his heart. When they were struggling to search for clues, Burning Fire Palace suddenly came to them to help them. You jump in.
"Hero Yue, don't be afraid, we have absolutely no malicious intentions." Fu Zhou continued, "It is also beneficial for us to join hands with you."
According to Fu Zhou, before Gu Qixiang went to the Western Regions to do business, the Burning Fire Palace was originally the main power in the rivers and lakes in Salmorro, and they also cooperated with the government on weekdays to ensure peace in all directions.But after Gu Qixiang came, he sent a lot of money to the government, and he always did some dirty business in private, and even went around to suppress the Burning Fire Palace. Give up the confrontation with Gu Qixiang.
In the end, it was just a story of fighting for power and profit, but Shen Qingyu was very interested in another piece of news revealed in Fu Zhou's words, he frowned and asked: "Gu Qixiang is just a businessman, even if he spends money to hire an expert Mutual assistance, it is difficult to be able to fight against a big faction."
"This should be Young Master Shen, right?" Fu Zhoufang glanced at him, bowed to him again, and said, "There is a lot of rumors in the Central Plains that you have gone wandering around the world with Hero Yue, which is really enviable."
Shen Qingyu choked back all the questions that followed by his words, envious?What envy?Why are you suddenly envious?
"Master Shen didn't know the inside story. Gu Qixiang was in Salmorro, and he was doing ordinary business at first. Then, for some reason, there were suddenly many capable people under his command." Fu Zhou said, "Our Palace Master sent people to test it out, so all It's the correct Kung Fu of the Central Plains, but unfortunately we are not familiar with the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, we don't know which school or school of martial arts it is, it's just..."
Yue Xiao vaguely guessed his suspicion from the meaning of his words, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Do you suspect that there is a sect from the Central Plains who is secretly helping?"
Fu Zhou nodded and said, "It's just a suspicion."
Yue Xiao and Shen Qingyu looked at each other without answering, but hesitated in their hearts.
"If Hero Yue can help me revive the Burning Fire Palace, I would like to give all the Suyang Flowers in Gu Qixiang's hands to the two of you." Fu Zhou said earnestly, "This is also the meaning of our Palace Master."
Yue Xiao smiled.
"Hero Fu really flattered Yuemou." Yue Xiao laughed, "The Burning Fire Palace is invincible to tens of thousands of people, and Yuemou is just one person."
Apart from doubts about Fu Zhou, Shen Qingyu also felt that Yue Xiao's words were true.
During their trip to the Western Regions, they didn't bring many people here for the sake of easy transportation. Burning Fire Palace and Gu Qixiang have been fighting for several years and they still can't gain the upper hand. If he and Yue Xiao join in, will they win?Furthermore, Fu Zhou mentioned that Gu Qixiang had the help of the sects of the Central Plains, but after the fall of the Demon Cult, the Martial Arts League strictly prohibited all sects from interacting with evil ways, and the Burning Fire Palace of the Western Regions is of course considered heretics in the Jianghu of the Central Plains.
If it's just a small help, maybe you can get away with it. There are a few disciples missing in the door, and no one will notice it, but according to Fu Zhou, Gu Qixiang's disciples who know the Central Plains martial arts can almost fight against the Burning Fire Palace. , it is by no means such a simple matter of a few people.
"I know you two won't trust me easily, but Fu still wants to be friends with you two." Fu Zhou said again, "Pala sneaked into the ethereal space these days and got some weird medicine powder. As a small gift, if the two of you change your mind, you can come back to me at any time."
He clapped his hands, just now the Han boy brought a small packet of medicine powder, Fu Zhou opened the medicine packet, spread the oil paper on the table, poured out some, very carefully, said: "You two Be careful not to inhale the powder."
Shen Qingyu was already curious about this medicine, and regardless of whether the powder Fu Zhou showed them was real or not, he always wanted to go over and have a look, but just now when he got close to the table, he immediately Smelling a strange fragrance, he couldn't help leaning back a little, worried that he would really inhale the powder into his nose, and Yue Xiao also came over to take a look, but after just one glance, his expression changed slightly.
Shen Qingyu naturally noticed the change in his expression. Based on his understanding of Yue Xiao, he should have found some clues, but due to the presence of many people, he obviously didn't want to say more, but frowned slightly, and said: "This is The medicine that Gu Qixiang gave his subordinates?"
"Not all, Gu Qixiang subdued the irrelevant thugs in the arena with black fans. They are extremely effective. They will go crazy and lose their sanity. If they serve too much, they will die of liver and gallbladder rupture." Seeing Yue Xiao's interest, Fu Zhou hurriedly said So I want to introduce to Yue Xiao, "The medicinal powder stolen by Pala is mostly used by Gu Qixiang for his cronies. It is not so effective. After taking it, he will never go crazy, but it can also numb the mind. It is infinite, but after the effect of the medicine wears off, the limbs become weak, like a paralyzed person, and it is extremely painful."
Yue Xiao also laughed along with him, and said, "Sounds like a good thing."
"Hero Yue, this is definitely not a good thing. No matter what kind of medicinal powder, you can become addicted after taking it two or three times. It is said to be infinitely powerful, but in fact it is just a fate after overdrawing." The medicine powder was put away, and he said, "In the words of your Central Plains, this is shortening your life."
Yue Xiao glanced at Shen Qingyu again. From his eyes, Shen Qingyu became more certain that Yue Xiao had discovered something, and Yue Xiao winked at him, then looked at Fu Zhou again, and said, "Maybe you said Not bad, Yue has indeed seen this medicine in the Central Plains."
Fu Zhou was taken aback, but couldn't help being delighted, and asked, "Where did Hero Yue meet?"
"It's just a coincidence." Yue Xiao said, "The people who used it were only unknown people, and it was difficult to find any specific clues from them."
Fu Zhou asked again: "What does Yue Daxia mean by that, is he willing to help?"
Yue Xiao also said: "Can I think about this matter when I go back?"
Fu Zhou naturally nodded in agreement. Seeing Yue Xiao asking so many things, he naturally felt hopeful, and then told the two of them that if they thought about finding him again, they would still come to the Zhuque Tower and tell the shopkeeper that they were Misty It is the distinguished guests who come from time to time.
So Yue Xiao got up to bid farewell to Fu Zhou, and Shen Qingyu followed naturally. The two left the Zhuque Tower and walked a certain distance. : "Qing Yu, can you see the weirdness of that medicinal powder?"
Shen Qingyu shook his head: "I've never seen..."
"You've seen it before." Yue Xiao said, "Do you still remember the battle between you and me in the medicine house with Zhang Xiuyuan and others under the guise of recuperating?"
Shen Qingyu was taken aback. Although it had been nearly a year, he still remembered it clearly. When mentioning the medicine powder, the first thing he thought of was that after Zhang Xiuyuan was stabbed and poisoned by Yue Xiao, Zhang Xiuming handed it to him. The vase for him.
Zhang Xiuyuan, who was hacked by Yue Xiao in the back of the shoulder and poisoned, after taking the medicine powder, he looked as if he had never been poisoned and injured, and he looked crazy, but he was able to fight back with his sword.
"Exactly the same." Yue Xiao whispered, "The smell of this medicine powder is exactly the same as the medicine Zhang Xiuyuan was taking at that time."
It is said that the dragon paste wine in Zhuque Tower is the best in the city. Yue Xiao ordered a pot when he entered the building, but lost interest after two mouthfuls. He was somewhat interested, but the mutton was not yet cooked, and a Han boy knocked on their door, and asked them with a low eyebrow, "Are you two distinguished guests from Piao Miao Jian?"
