Under the welcoming red lantern at the entrance of Guangxing Building, a man paced back and forth, sometimes scratching his head, sometimes frowning, like a person who had no place to go, for fear of falling into his pants.

It was Xi Yuanxiu, who was pulled out by Liu Xiao just now, and when Liu Xiao and Bian Ying were talking about the recent embarrassment in another room, a hurried knock on the door interrupted them.

He opened the door and saw that there was a piece of paper on the ground, on which a red wavy line was drawn with a special paint, he knew that this was a unique sign of the red tide, and he was afraid that Bian Ying would notice it, so he lied that he was going to be a compliment, and on the way to Zhou Wenbin's room, he read the contents of the letter.

"The imp is lost!"

Xi Yuanxiu couldn't help but regret a little after hearing this, regretting that he should arrange more people in Scoop City.

"The little ghost is lost", then it proves that the letter from the salt field has been sent back to Yangzhou at the same time as them, but the ghost who sent the letter no longer knows where it has arrived in Yangzhou, and now the focus is to see if the little ghost with the letter can be found.

But since I already know that this ghost has returned to Yangzhou, then it is a good thing, which means that someone in Yangzhou City has received the ghost, and people will not invite ghosts home, but Hades will, I don't know which Hades Palace in Yangzhou City will bring this little ghost back.

So as long as you can catch this little ghost now, or follow him, you must be able to meet Hades.

But now at this juncture, what should be done first, Xi Yuanxiu silently thought in his heart.

Just when Xi Yuanxiu's face was a little happy, Li Yuanhuan had already come down from Zhou Wenbin's room upstairs, and there was no trace of displeasure on his face at all, as if it was someone else who was arguing with the prince upstairs just now, it was really kind!

The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, Li Yuanhuan saw that Xi Yuanxiu's face was also a little beautiful, so he asked: "Why don't you go in, brother, it's autumn now, don't catch a cold!" ”

"It's okay, I've already added clothes, His Royal Highness Xie cares, it's not as good as Chang'an, it's not time to get cold yet!" As he spoke, Xi Yuanxiu also flirted with his clothes and showed them to Li Yuanhuan.

Li Yuanhuan saw that Xi Yuanxiu was a little absent-minded, thinking that he saw him and the prince tonight, thinking about the past, so he didn't stay long, and Bian Ying, who was following the king of Xian, practiced to Xi Yuan, and left with Li Yuanhuan.

Just after Li Yuanhuan left, Xi Yuanxiu suddenly felt that he was a little stupid, so he urged Liu Xiao and asked Liu Xiao to go upstairs first and talk to Zhou Wenbin and the others again.

Then he went to the kitchen of the restaurant alone, and after some observation, he saw a guy standing in the corner of the kitchen, playing lotus.

Xi Yuanxiu looked at the red rope with a copper coin tied on his left wrist, then walked up to this person, gestured two fingers at him, and then withdrew it and clenched it into a fist.

The man put down the work in his hand, wiped his hands on his pants, and went outside with Xi Yuanxiu, seeing that there was no one around, he asked respectfully, "Dare to ask, but the shopkeeper?" ”

After the establishment of the red tide, Xi Yuanxiu was fully prepared, and everyone tied a red rope on the wrist of his left hand, and a copper coin was tied to the red rope, which was one of them.

And the second is the gesture made by Xi Yuanxiu just now, only in this way can the identity of the other party be determined.

Because all the staff of Chichao were handled by Xu Lai, they naturally recognized him, and other people who were also in Chichao might not see each other once in their lives.

So at this time, I came to him in Yangzhou City, and I knew this gesture, plus Xu Lai's description of Xi Yuanxiu's appearance, and after a little comparison, I knew that it was Xi Yuanxiu, the shopkeeper!

Chichao has a commission of five taels of silver per person per month, and these people are naturally willing to come over and work hard, so it is very convenient to recruit people on the rivers and lakes at the beginning.

Xi Yuanxiu asked his name, because in addition to the mirage, there is no institution in Jingguo that dares to do this, spying on the officials of the imperial court, and being an intelligence spy are all crimes of killing the head, so even if he asks, that person will not necessarily say.

Xi Yuanxiu nodded and asked, "In Yangzhou, how many people are left?" ”

The man thought for a while, and replied respectfully: "There should be more than a dozen people who return to the shopkeeper, I don't know what you command?" ”

Xi Yuanxiu estimated it in his heart, and the news sent by the capital two days ago said that the profit of the Jingzhong Restaurant this month was not bad, so he made a decision painfully.

Xi Yuanxiu looked at this person and said softly: "I need you to find that ghost, the ghost who returned to Yangzhou from Huangcheng, I want to know what news that ghost brought back to Yangzhou, in this way, these people in Yangzhou will add five taels this month, if anyone finds out where the ghost went with that letter, then he will be ten taels of silver every month in the future!" ”

This guy's eyes changed at this time, because Jingguo's ordinary family of five only spends more than twenty taels of silver a year, even if it is a little extravagant, it is only forty or fifty taels.

Therefore, the price of ten taels of silver this month is more than that of some small local officials, such as Lord Xi in front of him.

The man said excitedly: "The shopkeeper will inform others of the good things, so you go upstairs to rest first, and the little one will do it now!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu snorted, turned around to leave, suddenly turned around again, and said: "In this way, I will add two taels to you separately every month, even if you don't find it, you will have seven taels of silver a month, so you remember, you must notify others!" ”

After Xi Yuanxiu left, this person felt that Xi Yuanxiu was really a god, in fact, what he just wanted was to find it by himself and not notify others, so he must have gotten those silver taels by himself.

And even if he can't find it, he doesn't have to see others get so much money, and his heart won't be unbalanced.

But Xi Yuanxiu was like this, he felt guilty, looked at the place where Xi Yuanxiu was standing just now, and said to himself: "You must handle this matter to the shopkeeper!" ”

......

......

After Xi Yuanxiu returned upstairs, he saw that Liu Xiao was already drowsy, and the candle flame in Zhou Wenbin's house was also extinguished, presumably the prince also returned to the room, Xi Yuanxiu casually flipped over the news on his body, and it was useless.

Xi Yuanxiu thought that since he had nothing to do today, he sat on the bed again and mobilized his internal strength, but he did not forcibly try to break through the meridians like last time, but gradually and slowly run.

However, as before, every time the internal force ran from the sea of qi to the Shenque acupoint, it would be blocked, and his internal force was almost strangled in the cradle, and he couldn't rush up at all.

The whole body's power is locked in the dantian, and with a little force, the internal organs will be damaged like last time.

And Xu Lai also watched it for him a few times, but the result was the same as the conclusion of the most famous Jianghu Lang Zhongchu Divine Doctor in the rivers and lakes when Xi Yuanxiu just found out that he had no internal strength.

Unless it is the person who performed this skill on him to unlock it with his own hands, or the master who has the supreme internal strength, he breaks through the acupuncture path with the empowerment of his whole body power.

However, both of these are impossible, the wind lord of the mirage will naturally not unravel it for him, and the supreme master will not be able to find it, even if he finds it, how can he pay his life of penance for an irrelevant person.

He could only follow the advice of the Divine Doctor Chu, try to play the five bird plays every day, activate the meridians, keep his skills from completely dissipating, and try to flush the acupoints step by step, maybe he can penetrate the water drops.

Today is still fruitless, Xi Yuan took off his shoes, fell asleep, and stopped thinking about it!

......

......

Zhao Benliu didn't know what was going on, he only remembered that he fainted after fighting with the man in prison, and now he was lying in the hospital when he opened his eyes.

Because he smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine, some of which made him smell uncomfortable, he just wanted to move his body, but found that the whole person was tied to the bed and couldn't move.

With a little effort, he touched the wound where a large piece of flesh had been torn off, and he grinned, bared his teeth, and forced himself not to make a sound, he was afraid that someone would know that he was awake and would immediately come and interrogate him.

He is getting more and more sad now, the pretty women in the capital have not been seen for many days, he remembers that the last time he left in the capital, it was just summer, and it has been two months since the last time he met.

Suddenly, the window a few steps away from him made a "squeak", and the window was pushed open from the outside, Zhao Benliu tried hard to turn his head to see who it was, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, because he couldn't even lift his eyelids.

The man entered the house, Zhao Benliu heard the sound of this person falling to the ground, and knew that it should be a strong man, Zhao Benliu was a little flustered, the room was so cool, and his palms were still sweating.

He didn't know what this man was here for, whether he was here to save himself or to shut himself up, he was already trying to untie the cloth around his body as he thought.

However, a calloused hand was already placed on his face, Zhao Benliu also gave up struggling at this time, and he smiled bitterly in his heart: I hope to give me a good time!

But it didn't go as he wanted, the man was just touching his face with his hand, and didn't do anything else, Zhao Benliu suddenly felt very comfortable, like something he hadn't had since he was a child and now got it.

He didn't know how he could have such thoughts, but it was good to be alive, and it was better to be alive than to die!

The man also noticed that Zhao Benliu was awake, as if he didn't want Zhao Benliu to see his face, so he quickly turned his head and swept Zhao Benliu with his afterglow, and saw that he didn't open his eyes, so he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The man's ears moved, as if he heard something, he got up, came to the window he had just entered, glanced at Zhao Benliu with a little reluctance in his eyes, and then went out through the window again.

At this time, the door of Zhao Benliu's room was pushed open by a doctor who came to change his dressing, and this person saw that the window was shaking back and forth because it was gently blown by the evening breeze.

He put down the slag of herbs in his hand that was about to change the dressing for Zhao Benliu and walked to the window.

While closing the window, he said: "How can it be like the wind in Liangcheng, and it can still blow this window open!" ”
