098's time has come

On the dark mountain road, people and horses from both sides stepped into the nearby mountains and forests.

Just not far from the Cold Night Temple, I found a secret place, on one side is the secret guard, on the other side is the people in the rivers and lakes, no one wants to burn the other party to see their appearance, only Ji Yinhe and Qiu Zhongxiao took off the black cloth and talked freely.

"You're here on the emperor's orders?"

Qiu Zhongxiao looked Ji Yuhe up and down, stretched his neck and counted the people behind him, there were more than twenty of them, and they were all good hands.

But his own person is not bad, Qiu Zhongxiao shook his head proudly.

"Is it for the general, or for the third lady?" Qiu Zhongxiao looked like a gossip.

You must know that the current emperor and the general who is now working as an undercover agent in the Cold Night Temple are uncles and nephews, although the two have a harmonious relationship on the surface, they can fight each other behind their backs, which is thrilling.

Others don't know, but he knows a rough idea.

And the commander of the secret guard beside the emperor in front of him should know the inside story better than him.

"Naturally, it's to protect the general and the third lady."

"Shh Qiu Zhongxiao pouted, believe you are a ghost, you don't learn well at a young age, you learn to lie with those people.

"Boss, there's a bunch of people." Suddenly, the person behind Ji Yanhe suddenly came up and said in a low voice.

Ji Yinghe frowned: "What direction?" How many people? ”

"Outside the Cold Night Temple, there are twenty people in total."

"Ambush first, don't act rashly."

Ji Yinhe put a hand on Qiu Zhongxiao's shoulder and told him the news he had just learned, but Qiu Zhongxiao was not surprised at all, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.

"Could it be that Lord Qiu knows whose person it is?"

Qiu Zhongxiao bit a blade of grass in his mouth, and said casually: "Who else can it be?" Our general's. ”

"I found out before I came, Qin Jiuyin, the prefect of Shuzhou, was a traitor, colluding with profiteers to buy and sell people, and this Cold Night Temple was one of his dens."

Qiu Zhongxiao spat to the side and continued: "Unfortunately, there is no evidence, and I am not in Shuzhou, so I can't arrest him. As soon as I heard that the general was here, I knew that he would not return empty-handed, and as I expected, he really came, but our general has been back from the border for so long, and he is still so bold that he dares to bring the third young lady here. ”

"Qin Jiuyin, how is this person?"

"Ruthless."

Ji Yinhe stared at the silent cold night temple, and the nervous emotions in his heart were like smoke coming out of the incense burner, rising little by little.

"Do you want to make contact with the general's men?"

Qiu Zhongxiao licked his lips and thought for a while: "You go, I'm a person from the rivers and lakes, so it's not appropriate to come forward." If something happens to the general inside, you can't deal with it, and I'll take action again. ”

"Okay."

After finishing speaking, Ji Yanhe immediately took the people and bent down and left here quietly.

And Qiu Zhongxiao saw that his people were completely gone, so he turned around and said, "Leave ten people outside to answer, and the rest sneak in with me and find the third lady first." ”

And at this moment, in the Cold Night Temple, Bai Li Ye was invited to the front by Zhuang Ruan, and it was still the same group of people from last night, but there were seven or eight large boxes in the middle of the hall.

Bai Li Ye's eyebrows tightened slightly, it seemed that they were planning to arrange these things for everyone tonight.

Also, the people here share a little bit and take different routes to transport to various places, and only need a small part to initially establish a market.

Nowadays, the market in Shuzhou has gradually stabilized.

After three rounds of drinking, Qin Jiuyin finally stood up, he drove out all the dancing nuns, and beckoned everyone to gather over.

Bai Li Ye secretly observed Zhou Yu, who had never spoken, and even when he was looking at the goods, he sat motionless in his position.

Yesterday, he sat in the middle of the front.

Tonight, I'm sitting by the door.

He was ready to run away.

It seems that he didn't believe in Qin Jiuyin wholeheartedly.

Because he was threatened, Bai Li Ye never showed a smile from beginning to end, even when Qin Jiuyin toasted him, he only pulled the corners of his mouth perfunctorily, but Qin Jiuyin didn't doubt it at all, but smiled heartily.

Zhuang Ruan also seemed to be satisfied with his expression, and drank one glass after another without money.

yes, drink more, and you won't have to drink anymore. Baili Ye secretly slandered.

When the wooden box was opened, a strong smell immediately hit his face, Bai Li Ye stood behind the crowd, and couldn't help frowning and dodging back, the contents of the box were wrapped in a white cloth, and the covers were stacked one after another.

This thing stinks, how can anyone like it?

Those people are not sick, right?

That's right, isn't this thing a medicine in the first place?

Tut-tut!

Bai Li Ye took a few steps back, and the people around the wooden box covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs one by one, obviously not used to the smell, only four people did not do anything.

Among them are Qin Jiuyin, Zhuang Ruan and Pei Bai.

The rest is Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was far away, and he also stood up from his position at this time, but he was still close to the door, with no sadness or joy on his face, and no emotion could reveal his inner thoughts.

This person......

This time it must be removed.

"Why does this thing taste different from what I got before?"

"yes, it didn't smell like that before."

"Is it a replacement?"

"Lord Qin, what the hell is going on? If the goods are so bad this time, we can't get a good price, so we have to earn the money for a trip, right? ”

The questions were thrown out one after another, but Qin Jiuyin was not annoyed, and waved his hand with a smile.

"Listen to me, this time the goods are not defective, but better than the previous ones, and they will be more fragrant after cooking."

"Really?"

"If you don't believe me, take a piece and boil it."

As soon as he heard this, Bai Li Ye's heart became more and more angry, the harm of this thing had already been heard from Li Tong, Qin Jiuyin actually made these people who cooperated with him addicted first, and if he couldn't quit when the time came, he could always use it for him.

What a vicious mind!

"Remember, this thing is poisonous when it burns, so you'll have to stay away then." Li Tong's words are still in my ears.

Bai Li Ye stepped back again, his brows furrowed.

Zhou Yu, who was leaning against the door, finally refocused his gaze on him, and squinted his eyes, Zhou Yu walked over slowly.

"But Boss Song?"

Bai Li Ye didn't expect Zhou Yu to take the initiative to talk to him, he always thought that Zhou Yu was here to supervise, and no matter what happened here, it had nothing to do with him.

And in the past two days, his performance has been like this, wandering outside.

"Exactly, you are?"

"Contemptible surname Zhou."

Bai Li Ye nodded: "Boss Zhou, why don't you go up and have a look?" ”

"I'm not interested in this thing, but Boss Song, why don't you go up and take a look?"

Bai Li Ye's face was sad, his eyes fell on the big boxes through the crowd, shook his head, and sighed.

"It seems that Boss Song has something unspeakable?"

"I just brought my wife to pray for blessings, and I didn't want to make extraneous branches, but Lord Qin really ......" Bai Liye thought for a long time before he struggled to come up with a suitable wording: "It's so enthusiastic that people can't refuse." ”

Zhou Yu is a smart person and immediately understood.

However, he just smiled and didn't pierce Qin Jiuyin's purpose, and only patted Bai Liye's shoulder lightly: "Lord Qin has always been like this, Boss Song is used to it." ”

"Boss Song, can you think differently?"

Bai Li Ye looked over, revealing an expression of willingness to hear about it.

"Those of us who do business, it is understandable to occasionally use small means. But as long as we make money and let our family live a good life, isn't it our wish? This time, Lord Qin also gave you a business opportunity, didn't he? Wouldn't it be great for everyone to benefit each other and make a fortune together? ”

Zhou Yu's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a faint smile appeared, unknowingly thinking that he should really be so kind, but Bai Liye sneered at it and did not show it on his face.

"Boss Zhou's words are reasonable, but he is narrow-minded."

Hearing Bai Li Ye say this, the curvature of Zhou Yu's lips widened a little.

However, Bai Li Ye still had no intention of going forward to join that group of people, and just stood next to Zhou Yu, but his face was obviously much better than just now.

Because the wooden box was closed.

Someone took out a piece and was holding a small copper jug on the fire.

"They're going to cook?"

"Exactly."

The people here seem to have tasted this thing, and they all look extremely excited and excited, as if the hunter is staring at the prey, Bai Li Ye squinted his eyes, he didn't know what he felt in his heart, but his anger was faintly uncontrollable.

It wasn't until the water in the small copper kettle boiled that Zhuang Ruan brought it down and poured a cup for each of them, and saw Bai Liye standing by the door, together with Zhou Yu, and was just about to say hello, when he saw Zhou Yu raise his hand.

Bai Li Ye's heart froze, why did he block it for him?

Could it be that he discovered his identity?

No way!

He hid it well.

He had never seen Zhou Yu, and he had changed his appearance at this time, even if Zhou Yu knew him, it was even more impossible to recognize him.

The golden liquid, rippling in the ceramic tea bowl, mixed with a piece of tea leaves flying up and down, is particularly tempting.

But many things in this world, the more beautiful they are, the more toxic they are.

Seeing that this group of people drank it in small gulps as if they were holding the elixir and jade liquid, and exhaled happily, Bai Li Ye was angry, and looked at Qin Jiuyin and Zhuang Ruan's eyes even deeper.

These two did not drink.

They knew it couldn't be touched.

And what about Pei Bai?

Gulping down, one cup is not enough and another cup, it is really a model of death.

"The time has come." Zhou Yu suddenly whispered beside him.

Bai Li Ye turned his head suddenly: "You? ”

Zhou Yu smiled at him, turned around and stepped out of the threshold, Bai Li Ye couldn't take care of him for the time being, the stone in his sleeve slipped into his palm and threw it out.

The red clothes, who had been guarding outside, saw the stone, took out the fireworks bomb from his bosom and pulled it out towards the sky.

The people outside the Cold Night Temple, as soon as they saw this movement, immediately climbed over the wall and came straight to the location where Baili Ye was, and Qiu Zhongxiao's side happened to climb the courtyard wall of Li Tong's courtyard, and was so frightened by this firework that they almost fell down.

"Damn it, scare me!" Qiu Zhongxiao opened his mouth and scolded: "Which bastard's signal flare is this?" ”
