After drinking a bottle of Western red wine that had been seen for 23 years, Xu Kouniu finally left this place contentedly under the strong smile of the old bustard.

Such a bottle of red wine costs twenty Taiping dollars, and in normal times, Xu Kou is reluctant to drink it, but today Shen Yugui pays for it, so he doesn't care.

In fact, Xu Kou still estimates that it is less, twenty Taiping is only the purchase price, and it will be doubled if it is sold in a restaurant, and places like Chunlou Xingyuan will have to be doubled or tripled, so such a bottle of red wine will cost 100 Taiping at least. If Xu Kou wants to buy a bottle, it is not a matter of half a month's money, but to put various subsidies into it.

Of course, if a Taoist priest at the level of a principal really wants to collect money, a mere hundred Taiping dollars is really nothing. A person like Liu Futong is so frustrated, three years is 100,000 Taiping money, even if the head of Zixian Mountain is the reason for the lack of fat, it can also be seen that the power of the director is huge, as long as it is not a clear water yamen like the Requiem Division, the chief Taoist priest in other positions, it is really not difficult to earn an extra income of several thousand Taiping money a year, and the bold can even earn five figures of Taiping money a year.

Qi Xuansu counted all kinds of things on his body, a "Divine Dragon Handcuff", four "Dragon Eye B 2", eight "Dragon Eye B 3", a number of ordinary armor-piercing projectiles, and a single knife with the appearance of spiritual objects.

A short sword "Qingyuan" in the form of a spiritual object, but because of his identity, it is not easy to use it rashly.

In addition, there is also a set of "Seven Phoenix Feathers", six "Bliss Needles", which can be surprisingly successful.

If he faced Wang Baoyue again, Qi Xuansu still didn't have full confidence to capture him alive, but he was ninety percent sure that he would be killed. After all, when he fought for the first time, Qi Xuansu was somewhat careless, and he was shocked by the alchemy arcane, except for using the "Tangtai Fist Intent" and firing a shot, nothing else was useful, which made Wang Baoyue escape easily.

However, this is just Qi Xuansu's situation alone, if there is one more Xu Kou, then it will not be difficult to capture Wang Baoyue alive.

Xu Kou saw that Qi Xuansu looked like a hunter preparing to enter the mountain, and couldn't help but say: "It's not difficult for the two of us to catch that pirate, the key is whether Qingluanwei can determine the location of the pirate's hiding." ”

Qi Xuansu hung the single knife on his waist and said, "Brother Xu, do you say that Wang Baoyue will have other accomplices in the local area?" ”

Xu Kou was stunned: "Old Wei, you can make your words clearer." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "I always have a feeling that it is too unbelievable that the man in black and Qingluanwei put on such a big battle just to arrest a pirate, what is so special about this pirate?" It is even more unbelievable that such a large battle can make a pirate leader who landed away from the sea escape again and again. If you want to say that there is no one behind this pirate, I don't believe it, who wants to arrest Wang Baoyue? Who wants to keep Wang Baoyue? ”

After listening to this, Xu Kou said thoughtfully: "What Brother Wei said is extremely true, so far, it is by no means as simple as arresting pirates, but like a contest between two major forces. If Wang Baoyue has an accomplice to respond, then this accomplice of his must have a lot of power here, do you suspect Shen Mingshu? ”

"It's hard to assert, but I can't rule it out." Qi Xuansu said, "Shen Mingshu should be one of the side branches of the Shen family in Taiping Dao, and the Shen family is inextricably linked with the Li family, if it is really him, then Brother Xu still needs to be involved?" ”

Xu Kou said: "I've already agreed, it's not good to break my promise and get fat, I don't care much about the dumping of the two forces, it's just that the pirate bombarded me, I'm a person who doesn't like to suffer, and I always want to get it back." ”

Qi Xuansu said with a smile: "In this way, we see the same thing, I am a person who must repay the baht, Wang Baoyue wants to kill me, and I don't want to just forget it." ”

Xu Kou smiled: "That's how it should be." ”

"How do you say Qingluanwei will find someone?" Qi Xuansu asked.

Xu Kou thought for a while: "If I'm not mistaken, they still have a live mouth in their hands, I think they will use this live mouth to make a fuss." ”

Qi Xuansu naturally also had the impression that there was also a pirate hiding on the cargo ship to cover for Wang Baoyue, who was hiding in the passenger ship. So many pirates either died at sea, or were defeated by the men in black after landing, and only these few people escaped with Wang Baoyue, it is conceivable that they are all Wang Baoyue's henchmen, and they may really be able to force out a lot of things by means of Qingluanwei's torture to extract confessions.

While the two were talking, Liuhu had returned.

Xu Kou said: "Let's go to the post station for a night first, and wait for tomorrow's news, anyway, it's been a few days, if Qingluanwei has no clues, then it's no wonder that we stand by and watch." ”

Qi Xuansu had no objections, and the three of them went to the post station in Wannian County together.

There was nothing to do all night, but the Qingluanwei were sleepless all night, and the next day, when the Qingluanwei palm print of the Zhang surnamed Qingluanwei came to see the two, it was difficult to hide the tiredness.

Xu Kou asked directly: "Is this a result?" ”

Zhang's palm-printed Baihu retreated from the others and replied: "After breaking through one night, we can be regarded as using all the things we have learned all our lives." The man in black also tightened the net, and he could be sure that Wang Baoyue did not flee far. ”

Xu Kou is a person of Qingluanwei, where does he not understand what a breakthrough means, but also knows what Qingluanwei's lifelong learning means.

"That pirate is a hard bone, but even hard bones can be ground into bone slag." "He doesn't know the specific hiding place of Wang Baoyue, but he knows a local contact. ”

Xu Kou asked directly, "Who is that contact?" ”

"A local salt merchant has a manor outside the city, but we suspect that the salt merchant is just a fake identity. In order to avoid leaking the news, we have not yet made a move on our side. ”

Qi Xuansu suddenly asked, "Zhang Baihu, are you familiar with Shen Mingshu, a big local household?" ”

Zhang Baihu was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Brother Wei suspects that I am Shen Mingshu's person?" Qi Xuansu's suspicion is not groundless, when Shen Mingshu appeared, he was followed by several Qingluanwei, which made it difficult not to be suspicious.

Zhang Baihu said unhurriedly: "My surname is Zhang, I was born in Shangqing Zhang, Wuzhou, and Shen Mingshu's surname is Shen, but I am Huainan Shen in Luzhou, how can we be all the way?" However, Shen Mingshu has been operating here for many years, and many Qingluanwei have dealings with him, so I can only turn a blind eye. ”

Qi Xuansu suddenly understood.

It is not uncommon for people in the Dao Sect to come out, and Li Sanxin he met in Fengtai County is a disciple of Taiping Dao who has transferred to Qingluanwei.

The Zhang family, on behalf of the family, is naturally the same as Zhengyi, and Zhang Yuelu is also a family. However, the Zhang family is too big, and the inheritance is too long, this Zhang Baihu should be the side branch of the side branch, so he left the Daomen and entered the Qingluan Guard.

In Qingluanwei, the palm print of the hundred households and the ordinary hundred households are also different, if the real power, it is slightly higher than some of the deputy thousand households, much higher than the ordinary hundred households, although it is controlled by the palm print of the thousand households, but the palm print of the thousand households does not have the right to appoint or detain personnel, only the right to participate, which leads to the fact that the palm print of the thousand households of Luzhou Qingluanwei is a person of Taiping Dao, and it does not mean that the entire Luzhou Qingluanwei is a monolith.

As far as Wannian County is concerned, Zhang Baihu has his back against Zhengyi, and he is a palm print hundred, which can be regarded as a force that can compete with Shen Mingshu, but there are also disadvantages, that is, the Shen family has been operating here for many years, even among the hundred households, there are many people who secretly follow Shen Mingshu's orders, Zhang Baihu will probably not be Shen Mingshu's opponent, so he has to ask Qi Xuansu and Xu Kou to help.

Qi Xuansu figured this out, and suddenly said: "I thought that Zhang Baihu was for merit, but it turned out that he was involved in the infighting of the Daomen. ”

Speaking of this, Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Kou: "Brother Xu is from Taiping Dao, what is the relationship between Taiping Dao and Zhengyi, I don't think I need to say more." ”

Zhang Baihu said: "I didn't want to mention this matter, but since Brother Wei has said this, I have to say it." To tell the truth, I used the Zimu charm to contact the deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall Zhang who happened to be in Jinling Mansion, and after she learned that it was the two, she was very relieved, saying that both of them could be trusted. ”

Qi Xuansu and Xu Kou suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, one coughed lightly, and the other looked down at the ground.

Xu Kou is okay, he remembers that he said bad things about Zhang Yuelu behind his back, and he is just a little weak-hearted, in fact, even if Zhang Yuelu knows, it won't be good. In addition to Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu treats his subordinates quite restrained, neither too close, nor deliberately distant, as long as it does not involve issues of principle, it is still easy to speak.

Qi Xuansu is different, if Xu Kou is weak-hearted, then he is a loss. After all, not long ago, he also fought with Zhang Yuelu, and when he said his conscience, he didn't suffer a loss, but let Zhang Yuelu suffer a small loss. If Zhang Yuelu knew the truth, what the consequences would be, Qi Xuansu couldn't think of it. Moreover, Zhang Yuelu will probably not restrain Qi Xuansu from treating him.

Qi Xuansu gathered his thoughts and said, "Since that's the case, then let's go over together." ”
