Chapter Eighty-Three: The Refreshed Man

There was the sound of "whooshing" water in his ears, and Gu Zhirong couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth. As she expected, the hall master of the Baojian Hall really used the method of taking the water route to send them over.

The exit of the secret passage is in the weeds on the bank of the river, but the terrain here is high, even if the river rises, it may not be able to soak into the hole, and there is a diversion not far ahead, so it seems that the person who designed this secret passage is very knowledgeable.

Qin Lu used his waist knife to puff away the weeds that covered the exit, and let Gu Zhirong go out: "Miss Gu, there is a small boat waiting there within fifty steps forward, you just need to show the jade plate given to you by our hall master, and someone will send you to the dock immediately." ”

Gu Zhirong nodded, and walked forward with Cai Qing, and sure enough, he saw a small boat moored on the bank of the river, and on the boat, a stern sat on the bow of the boat and stared at the river.

Cai Qing beckoned the captain to turn around, and Gu Zhirong immediately showed the jade card.

The captain glanced at Gu Zhirong and was slightly stunned, but soon he put down the pedal and let Gu Zhirong and Caiqing get on the boat, with a very respectful attitude.

When Gu Zhirong and the two sat down, the captain had a penny in his hand, and the boat was like an arrow from the string, heading straight to the center of the river.

Gu Zhirong couldn't help but nod secretly, this captain's boat support skills are even better than those of her Jiangnan Caoyun. It seems that Baojiantang is really capable of many people, and it should not be underestimated.

In a short time, we arrived at the pier on the west bank. There, a few merchant ships were quietly laid out, and the draft of the ships was very deep, and it seemed that there was a lot of cargo to be consigned. On the nearby shore, Wang Changling was looking forward to the river.

The boat slowly approached the nearest merchant ship, and the merchant ship stepped sideways, and Gu Zhirong and Caiqing walked over. I saw that my own lady had arrived. Wang Changling also hurriedly got on the boat.

On the deck at the bow of the ship, there is a table of eight immortals. A few chairs. On the table was a beautiful high-necked teapot and several crystal clear cups. A man sits on one of the chairs and pours himself a drink. Wen Sheng leaned slightly to the side.

It was still a silver mask, and it was impossible to see the true face of this person. But the dark green wide-sleeved robe embroidered with gold and silver threads revealed a faint luxury. The wind blows, the sleeve robe flies slightly, and the clothes flutter, quite a bit of immortal posture.

At this time, he was looking at Gu Zhirong intently, and his deep eyes were filled with a river of sparkling waves.

Gu Zhirong looked at the turquoise bronze tripod that was sitting aside and spit out curling white smoke. He frowned slightly. This person is really elegant, even on the boat, he doesn't forget to smoke incense.

"Miss Gu, do you feel the sincerity of my fist?" he looked at her with a smile in his eyes. He was referring to the arrangements for the journey.

Gu Zhirong nodded slightly: "Thank you." Then he handed him back the jade pendant in his hand: "Let's start inspecting the goods." ”

The jade pendant still had her residual warmth, and he seemed to be a little reluctant, so he didn't immediately hang it on his waist, but played with it in his hand. He turned slightly and nodded his head at the squire standing beside him.

The attendants commanded. Someone was called to move two boxes to the deck.

Before the cargo box arrived and was not opened, Gu Zhirong had already sniffed out a trace of something unusual from the river breeze: "Shennong flower?"

The hall master of the Baojian Hall couldn't help but lower his head to look at the box that had not yet been opened, and then look at Gu Zhirong. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Miss Gu Wu is really powerful, in order to prevent the corruption of Shennong Flower, we specially added ice cubes to seal it." The box was also strictly sealed, but I didn't expect Miss Gu Wu to see it. ”

Gu Zhirong smiled. I don't want to explain much, she just has an unusual sense of smell. There's nothing to brag about. She was just surprised that Shennong flowers are rare treasures and are not easy to pick, where did he get so many Shennong flowers, and they are still in full bloom?

Since ancient times, Shennong flower and Baixian grass are equally famous, no matter what kind of injury, what kind of poison, as long as you eat one of them, thousands of injuries are healed, and all kinds of poisons are dissolved. It's just that the medicinal effect of Shennong flower is even better than that of Baixian grass.

Since ancient times, how many people have pursued Shennong flowers but have not been able to get them. It is said that this flower does not bloom easily, and must bloom on the cliff wall when the heat fades and the weather is first cool, and only blooms for half an hour, and then withers after half an hour. When it is in full bloom, it is harvested and sealed with ice, and it can be stored for more than several years, and the medicinal effect is long-lasting. This kind of raw flower is the same price as 10,000 taels of gold, and it is said in the world that it has the effect of resurrecting the dead. If you happen to encounter flowers that bloom and wither, you can also pick them and dry them into medicine, although the effect is much worse, but it is also much stronger than ordinary herbs.

The world loves Shennong flower the most, but not many people get it. The cliffs are daunting, coupled with the unknown blooming time, without a good kung fu and extremely patient people, it is impossible to have a relationship with Shennonghua.

The Jokhang Kingdom has always had an embargo on Jinchuang Medicine, prohibiting a large number of private sales, and the Shennong Flower also has the same effect as Jinchuang Medicine, or even better use. Maybe it's because Shennonghua is expensive, so the Jokhang royal family didn't ban it.

It was precisely because this person in front of him had to consign so many Shennong flowers, either raw or dried flowers, that Gu Zhirong had to make associations towards Jinchuang Medicine.

At this time, the border of the Jokhang Kingdom was flat, and there was no sign of war, so there was only one explanation: someone was going to commit rebellion, that is, to rebel!

As if seeing the doubts in Gu Zhirong's heart, the hall master of Baojian Hall stood up, walked in front of Gu Zhirong, and said in a low voice: "Miss Gu Wu, don't worry too much, I raised this batch of Shennong flowers, which are the soldiers who sent them to the border." If Miss Gu Wu doesn't believe it, you can send someone to follow me to the border to investigate. Recently, the soldiers at the border pass were infected with a strange disease, which resembled a plague, and the medicine stone was ineffective, and now dozens of people have fallen ill. In order to prevent the widespread spread of this disease, the above has sent people to rush to the border pass, and someone asked me Baojian Hall to collect Shennong flowers and send them to the border pass, after all, the border pass is firmly related to the safety of tens of millions of people in the Central Plains. The stakes are very high, and if it is revealed, it will bring disaster to the country. I told Miss Gu Wu today out of trust in Miss Gu Wu and, of course, my sincerity. ”

Gu Zhirong was slightly shocked. The sergeant at the border pass contracted the disease? This is not a trivial matter. Presumably, the people of the Taiyi Pavilion have passed. But if you can't diagnose it and can't do anything, of course, using Shennong flower is the best way.

Such a secret matter, the other party was afraid that she would doubt his sincerity, so he invited her to send someone to accompany him to find out the truth, this sincerity is really different from other businesses.

Gu Zhirong thought for a while and said, "Hall Master, please rest assured, since the goods are handed over to us, we have the guards of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau in Jiangnan Caoyun, which can be guaranteed to be foolproof." ”

When she said this, she agreed, and she also showed her integrity, with a dart board guard, an extra layer of protection.

The master of Baojian Hall was delighted, and said loudly: "Okay, Miss Gu Wu is really a cheerful person, I like your temperament." ”

Gu Zhirong doesn't care if he likes it or not, businessmen, of course, what he values is the honorarium: "Hall Master, we have regulations in Jiangnan Caoyun, and we must pay a deposit of 20% first, that is, 10,000 taels ......"

Before she finished her words, the hall master of Baojian Hall immediately took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, handed them to Gu Zhirong, and said with a smile: "Miss Gu Wu, count and see, is the reward of 50,000 taels of silver enough?"

Gu Zhirong stared at the stack of silver tickets with wide eyes, and this time it was her turn to say that the hall master of the Treasure Jian Hall in front of her was a cheerful person. (To be continued......)
