Zhang Yuelu was stunned for a while.

She suddenly found that Qi Xuansu likes to pretend to be low, but when he gets serious, he is still quite imposing.

Zhang Yuelu pursed her lips and turned her head, not looking at Qi Xuansu, nor refuting it.

On the one hand, it was because of Qi Xuansu's strength, and on the other hand, because she felt that it was too inconvenient to be unable to speak, it was difficult to express her emotions just by words, and her writing was slow, so she seemed a little weak.

Qi Xuansu knew the truth of declining again and again, and did not continue to be "tough".

Zhang Yuelu took out some of the usual wound medicine from Sumeru, crushed it and applied it to his throat.

Regardless of the scarring problem, with her physique, combined with the true qi to dredge the meridians, after about two hours, she will be able to speak again.

After Zhang Yuelu applied the medicine, she began to close her eyes and recuperate.

Two hours passed quickly, Zhang Yuelu touched his throat and cleared his throat again, although his voice was still a little hoarse, he was finally able to speak.

Zhang Yuelu was about to talk to Qi Xuansu about what happened just now, but Qi Xuansu had already taken the initiative to say: "This group of people seems to be from the 'inn'. ”

"'Inn'......" Zhang Yuelu muttered, "Daomen divides the secret associations into A, B, C, D, etc., and the associations related to Gu Immortals, such as the Lingshan Witch Sect, the Zhiming Sect, and the Purple Light Society, are the most dangerous and harmful, and are listed as Class A. The Heavenly Court, the Qinghei Society, and the Eight Divisions, which were powerful and slightly less dangerous than the former, were classified as Class B. Next up are the Seven Treasure Workshop and the 'Inn', which are secret associations that are mainly engaged in all kinds of illegal businesses, and the harm is relatively small, and they are classified as C-class. The rest of the many secret societies that did not enter the stream were all classified as Ding. I'm only familiar with the secret societies of the first and second ranks, and I'm not very familiar with the 'inn'. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Coincidentally, I happen to be more familiar with Qibaofang and the 'inn', as Qingxiao said, these two are business, and they are both illegal businesses, Qibaofang is mainly based on all kinds of smuggled goods, up to the tribute of the imperial court, down to the various heavenly treasures of the Huasheng Hall, or the firearms of the Shenji Camp and Tianji Hall, there is nothing they can't get, the mountain market we passed by before is the business of Qibaofang." ”

Zhang Yuelu raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't know that Qibaofang was the behind-the-scenes boss of the black market in various places, but looking at Xuansu's appearance, it seemed that she had known it for a long time, and it seemed that this was not a secret in the rivers and lakes. It's probably no secret in Daomen, it's just that she neglected to pay attention to this news.

Qi Xuansu continued: "As for the 'inn', they are trading human lives, they can hire assassin killers in the 'inn', and they can also hire bodyguards to protect them in the 'inn', but most of the time, the people in the 'inn' do not come forward in person, and the 'inn' only acts as a middleman, taking a cut between the buyer and the people in the rivers and lakes. It is rumored on the rivers and lakes that the 'inn' has a relationship with Qingluanwei is not fabricated out of thin air, the inn has rules, it is related to the business of the imperial court, and it is necessary to go to the head office to discuss, as for how to go to the head office, it depends on everyone's ability. In other words, if you can find the head office of the 'inn', you are qualified to talk about this kind of business. ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "It's true that I have mixed in the 'inn', and I know it in such detail, so do you know why the 'inn' is called an inn?" ”

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "I really don't know." ”

"Although I am not familiar with the 'Inn', I have heard a rumor that Xuan Sheng once established a secret organization under the name of 'Taiping Inn' to be responsible for espionage matters. Many of the later famous figures served in this organization, such as Liu Jinyi in the Xuansheng Tablet. However, after Xuan Sheng became the head of the Daomen, this organization disappeared, leaving only the Taiping Inn that now has branches everywhere, and the secret organization is not seen in the various records of the Daomen, only word of mouth, so I don't know if it's true or not. Zhang Yuelu didn't sell it, and gave out what he knew.

Qi Xuansu was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "What you said, where do I seem to have seen it, isn't it "The Legend of Taiping Inn"?" ”

Zhang Yuelu was surprised: "The Legend of the Taiping Inn is written about these things? ”

"You haven't watched "The Legend of the Taiping Inn"?" Qi Xuansu was even more surprised.

Zhang Yuelu shook her head and said: "I have heard of the name of "The Legend of Taiping Inn", but because this book is too old, I haven't read it. ”

The two looked at each other.

After a long while, Qi Xuansu broke the silence and said, "Is there such a possibility, these rumors you heard are actually from "The Legend of Taiping Inn"? ”

Zhang Yuelu's face darkened slightly: "I didn't finish it." At that time, in addition to this secret organization under the Xuan Sheng, there was another secret organization, they directly belonged to Emperor Gaozu, who had not yet been crowned emperor, and was mainly responsible for various assassination matters, known as 'Wan Du Gate'. After Da Xuan won the world, Wan Du Gate also disappeared, and many people thought that Wan Du Gate was classified into the Qingluan Guard, but I also heard that some Wan Du Gate members were unwilling to enter the imperial court and continued to stay in the rivers and lakes, and some members of the 'Taiping Inn' who were unwilling to be forcibly disbanded by Xuan Sheng established the 'Inn'. ”

Qi Xuansu had never heard of this statement, so he couldn't help asking, "Aren't you unfamiliar with the 'inn', where did you hear all this?" ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "I know how the imperial court won the world today, it is not the same as that I am familiar with the inside story of various court rules, these two things are irrelevant. In the same way, just because I know the rumors about the origin of the 'inn' does not mean that I understand the internal structure and way of doing things of the 'inn'. ”

Zhang Yuelu paused for a moment, and then said: "As for where I heard these rumors, I don't have to hide them from you, I heard from my master." ”

Speaking of this, an extremely complicated look appeared on Zhang Yuelu's face: "My master, how to say it, I like to tell some wild history that has no basis, the more bizarre it is, the more interested I am." Then, on the basis of these wild histories, make bold speculations. Well...... That's why the Celestial Master often says that she is fabricating history. ”

"According to her inference, after Xuansheng became the Great Palm Sect, most of the high-level people in the 'Taiping Inn' also became great real people and real people, so Xuansheng should have disbanded the 'Taiping Inn' and dispersed most of its members to Tiangang Hall and Beichen Hall, but some members were unwilling to accept this result, so they broke away from the Daomen and entered the rivers and lakes."

"This is also reasonable, at the beginning of Xuansheng's establishment of the 'Taiping Inn', it was to absorb a large number of people from the rivers and lakes, and these people are used to being free and don't want to be restrained, and there are also people."

When Qi Xuansu heard this, he almost understood, and then said: "On the side of Wandumen, he was also disbanded by Emperor Gaozu and replaced the Qingluanwei of the previous dynasty and became the new Qingluanwei, but there are also some members who are unwilling to accept this result, so they leave Wandumen and continue to stay in the rivers and lakes. These two groups later merged together to form today's 'Inn'. Then it makes sense that the 'inn' has an inextricable relationship with Qingluanwei, because the two families have worked together and are a family. ”

"But there is another question, since many of the elders of the 'Inn' are from the Daomen, will the 'Inn' also have a relationship with the Daomen?"

Zhang Yuelu did not answer directly: "Daomen is the largest force in the world, but these secret associations can continue to grow and develop under the suppression of Daomen, which can only show that there is a problem within Daomen." is still the same sentence, you have me, I have you, and everything in the world is bad here. ”

Qi Xuansu has some feelings, these secret associations are more or less related to the Daomen, if the Daomen is regarded as a person, then these secret associations are like tumors that grow after illness, there are many meridians connected between the two, if they are cut off rashly, the pain is still secondary, and the key will be bleeding, but if they are not cut, these meridians continue to transfuse the tumor, which will only make the tumor bigger and bigger, and even spread to other places, so it still has to be cut. This is probably one of the reasons why the Daomen also listed these secret associations closely related to the Daomen as the targets of repression.

Qi Xuansu asked, "If these people received the bounty from the 'inn', then who is the employer behind it?" ”

The two glanced at each other and said in unison: "Jiangnan case." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "It seems that this case is a double-edged sword, which not only makes you rise to the top, but also provokes a great enemy for you." You said that at that time, Zuting executed a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, and it seems that Zuting decided that this person was the mastermind, so what about the person who came to seek revenge now is this person's subordinate disciple? Or is there something really big behind this person? ”

Zhang Yuelu glanced at him: "Don't you understand this very well?" ”

Qi Xuansu said modestly: "I understand a little, I understand a little." ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "I can't determine the specific identity of the employer now, but I care about another point, I rarely leave Yujing alone, since this opportunity is rare, why doesn't he hire some powerful people?" For example, if you hire a celestial directly, then you will be sure that you will be nine out of ten, and I will definitely die. ”

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said: "Actually, the reason is very simple, the first reason is the cost, whose peace money is not blown by the wind, the price of hiring celestials must be expensive, it may be that your enemy can't afford it, or he thinks it's not cost-effective." Because the Jiangnan case has been solved, killing you again is definitely not to kill people, but more likely to vent anger. Since it is not about one's own life and death, then it is inevitable to consider the question of 'worthiness'. ”

"There is a second possibility, but my speculation, that is, the employer behind it intends to kill the hired killer afterwards, if he hires a celestial, I am afraid it will not be easy to extinguish. So he hired a group of innate people, even if he can kill you, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses, he just kills people, not only leaves no traces, but also can get back his Taiping money. ”
