Huangshaju is a very inconspicuous one of the many tea purchasing points in Wufu Town, with a remote location, a small courtyard, less than ten employees and a very small amount of purchases, all of which show the ordinariness and ordinariness of this store.

But when Nie Ming walked into Huangsha Ju, this small shop immediately became extraordinary, the moment he stepped into the store, the originally lazy clerks seemed to be injected with souls, and they immediately moved!

The clerk who slowly counted the goods quickly completed the sorting, and then walked out directly from the door, closed the door of the store smoothly, he took out a piece of rice paper with ink from his arms that he didn't know how long it had been dry, and snapped it on the door, and the paper read: "Go out to receive the goods, there are customers who will come back tomorrow." ”

When the clerk in front walked out of the front door, two old men with brooms also came out of the back door of Huangshaju, and they slowly swept up the garbage around the courtyard wall, as if they were preparing for the upcoming tea picking party.

Nie Ming, who was locked in the store, walked straight to the counter, and then knocked hard, directly waking up the shopkeeper who was still sleeping on his stomach: "Do your job, don't pretend to be dead." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper who was lying on his stomach suddenly burst out, and a sharp short knife poked out from under the counter, pointing straight at Nie Ming's throat!

Nie Ming frowned, his right leg touched the ground, and the whole person suddenly withdrew a few steps away, and his right hand had already grasped the coiling dragon halberd behind him while retreating.

But this assassin didn't give him a chance to make a move, and while Nie Ming retreated, his short knife followed Nie Ming's chest like a shadow, and his speed was not slower than Nie Ming's.

Nie Ming was a little surprised, as the head of the three major cities in the rivers and lakes, the young master of Mobei Black Rock City, the exercises he practiced were naturally the best in the rivers and lakes, and the "Tong Youbu" he had practiced since he was a child was the third in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect the assassin to be no slower than him!

It seems that now we can only force the game! Nie Ming suddenly stopped his retreating pace, and hit the opponent's lower abdomen with a knee, this is a way of playing with injuries for injuries, but he is not very worried with gold silk soft armor and heart guards.

With a ding, the short sword poked in Nie Ming's chest was shaken open by the heart goggles, and Nie Ming's knee hit the attacker's lower abdomen, and the opponent's movements froze for a moment, and the offensive was interrupted like this.

Nie Ming, who had been empty, finally pulled out the coiling dragon halberd behind his back, but the opponent who missed the blow had already retreated behind the counter.

The assailant showed his true appearance, an old man with a white beard, and he smiled with relief.

And the appearance of this person surprised Nie Ming even more than the appearance of an assassin, because this was his acquaintance: "Li Bo? How are you? ”

"The shopkeeper doesn't worry about you, so let me come and have a look." Li Bo smiled and said, "Anyway, you also grew up under my watch, I can't let you suffer in Lingnan." ”

"It's just to help my friends box, how many peers in the rivers and lakes are my opponents now?" Nie Ming was full of arrogance.

"Hehehe, come and get information, come with me." Li Bo smiled and walked to the backyard, "You'll know when you see it." ”

Nie Ming did not put down the halberd in his hand, and walked out with the old man, he grew up in Jiangnan since he was a child, and it was Li Bo and his wife who took care of him growing up.

Li Bo is the person in charge and spokesperson of the Black Rock City in the Jiangnan generation, and when he was young, he was also a figure who followed the old city lord to crisscross the desert north and the Western Regions, and now his combat effectiveness can also be ranked in the forefront of the rivers and lakes, since he appeared, it means that this time the matter is not as simple as he thought.

The two of them entered the small warehouse in the backyard one after another, and after Li Bo tinkered with the wall for a while, several machine noises came from the ground, and soon a secret passage appeared in front of Nie Ming, and an oil lamp also appeared in Li Bo's hand.

The corners of Nie Ming's mouth twitched: "Secret Dao? Is it necessary for this important merchant town to fix this thing? ”

"Wuyi has fairy spirits, this is not a joke." "As for what you're involved in, I suspect it's not as simple as it seems. ”

"At most, it's just going into the mountains to pick a tea leaf, can there be any danger?" Nie Ming said indifferently.

Li Bo shook his head: "Wait until you know." ”

The two of them walked down the dark passage, and soon came to a small stone room, which was neatly arranged with a large number of bookshelves, and countless bamboo slips and books were placed on it.

"This is one of our intelligence gathering points, so you can come whenever you need it in the future." Li Bo lit the oil lamp on the wall as he walked through the bookshelves, "But you don't have to come openly, you can send someone or disguise your identity." ”

"Okay." Nie Ming nodded, "So has there been any movement on the rivers and lakes recently?" ”

"Where's the movement? The emperor is ready to absorb the forces of the rivers and lakes, and everyone is talking about it. Li Bo handed a book to Nie Ming, "Take a look at your confidant, there are many forces involved in this matter." ”

Nie Ming found a place to sit down and read the book under the oil lamp, this book was actually the relevant information compiled by the Black Rock City Wind Media, and every word might be stained with blood.

"Jiangling Su family, Jinyiwei, Yingchuan Chen family, and even people from the queen family? Do you really think that picking a tea can win the favor of the saint? Nie Ming frowned as he looked at the handwriting on it, "This matter is really strange, they can't be so stupid." ”

"You missed one." Li Bo, who was standing beside Nie Ming, stretched out his hand and flipped through a page, "Look at this, the informant from Quanzhou Mansion reported that a large number of Yamato people had infiltrated David, and they did not choose to rob but went straight to the mainland, and the target seemed to be Wuyi Mountain. ”

"Interesting, interesting, it turns out that there are really people who have anything to do with the Japanese Kou?" Nie Ming stood up, "I took this information with Li Bo." ”

"Yes, but remember to be careful." Li Bo took Nie Ming out of the tunnel and watched him leave Huangshaju.

······

Nie Ming, who took a large book of information, returned directly to the inn, the environment here is good, and it is quite suitable for quiet research.

When he walked to the intersection, he found a well-dressed young man standing outside the inn talking to the little shopkeeper from a distance, and it could be seen that this man liked the little shopkeeper, because his attitude was very good, and the little shopkeeper had been throwing faces at others.

However, Nie Ming didn't care, he didn't care much about strangers, he walked straight into the inn, and lit a charcoal stove along the lotus pond: "The shopkeeper's good tea, the last time it was good." ”

Xiao Chong seemed to have been annoyed for a long time, and got up directly and left the counter: "Wait a minute, the tea is in the backyard." With that, he left.

Nie Ming chuckled, because the jar of tea that Xiao Chong had used to get tea in the morning was still on the shelf behind the counter, she just wanted to avoid this young man.

The young man waited for a long time in the same place, and at last he had to turn and leave, but he had set up a shop opposite the inn, and he usually stayed there when he had nothing to do.

Nie Ming was not in a hurry, silently took out the information in his arms, and slowly studied it.

I don't know how long it took for Zhou Xiaochong to slowly walk out of the backyard, she took off the jar on the shelf and walked quickly to Nie Ming: "I'm sorry, Lin Fuhu is indeed a little annoying, I can't afford to provoke him, so I can only hide." ”

"Lin Fuhu? The eldest son of the tea-making family? Nie Ming's eyes narrowed, and a strange gaze scanned over her body.

"What do you see? Is it strange that Lin Fuhu came to me? Xiao Zhong asked strangely, and after a while she seemed to remember something, "Are you coming to Wufu Town for the first time?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Nie Ming asked curiously, "Could it be that the little boss is worth a lot of money, is it worth everyone's son's constant pursuit?" ”

"How is that possible? You're thinking too much. Xiao Chong took out a brew of tea wrapped in paper from the jar and handed it to Mu Yi, "You don't look like a businessman or a scholar, so what are you doing here?" ”

"I, I guess I'm here to see the scenery." Nie Ming made a joke, and then he asked casually, "Why are you managing the huge inn alone, it seems that you are not old enough to be the shopkeeper." ”

"Secret." Seeing that he didn't answer his question, Xiao Chong ignored him, turned back to the counter, and picked up a yellowed scroll and looked at it carefully.

Nie Ming's eyesight was very good, and he directly saw the title of the book on the cover, this book was "The Book of Tea" written by the tea saint Lu Yu, and he thought to himself that it was a famous tea distribution center, and every girl could learn related things.

After a while, the tea was brewed, and Nie Ming continued to flip through the information in his hand while drinking tea, and soon saw something interesting.

"Lin family, Lin Fuhu. Zhou family, Zhou Xiaozhong. Interesting, really interesting. The corners of Nie Ming's mouth were raised, as if he had found some fresh toy.

And the scene of Mu Yi and Xiao Chong's communication just now fell into the eyes of Lin Fuhu, who was sitting in the shop across the street, watching the conversation between the two, his face gradually sank, and he stretched out his hand to recruit a small worker in the store: "You go and check what the kid in black is very like, I suspect that this is someone sent by the Liu family." ”

"Okay young master, I'm sure I'll find a clue in less than a day." Xiao Gong walked towards the gangsters in the town, "I never thought that someone would want to pull Young Master Lin's tiger whiskers, it's interesting." ”

······

After Nie Ming finished reading the information in his hand, it was already past lunch, he got up and asked Xiao Chong if there was anything to eat here, and then he got a reply that this inn did not have relevant services.

So he decided to check out the nearby shop and heard that the smoked goose here tasted good.

Before leaving, Xiao Chong told him to be more careful, he was likely to be targeted by Lin Fuhu.

Nie Ming sneered at this kind of guy and joked, Nie Ming, a famous Mobei guest in the rivers and lakes, would be afraid of this kind of son of a small businessman? Impossible!

However, out of politeness, Nie Ming still thanked him kindly, and then asked the location of the best restaurant nearby.

He has always been a big guy, and the reason why he lives here is because this is the best place in the neighborhood, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy here, and the tea in this inn is also very good, Nie Ming is very satisfied.

The restaurant was not far from the inn, and it only took two alleys to get there, so Nie Ming chose to walk there instead of riding a horse.

But Nie Ming, who had just walked out of the inn, frowned, because he found that there were a lot of eyeliners around him, and two or three different forces could be found at a cursory glance, but these people scattered when they saw Nie Ming's direction, and the movement was not small.

It was obvious that these people were all rabble, Nie Ming didn't take them seriously at all, since he left Jiangnan at the age of sixteen and went to Mobei, the big battle he experienced was not once or twice.

Although those spies were a rabble, they were very familiar with the nearby terrain, and they deduced Nie Ming's destination after a little analysis, and in the shadow of the second alley not far away, more than ten people had prepared an ambush in advance and waited for Nie Ming to appear.
