After a few days of clearing, the sky was overcast again.

Scattered snowflakes have fallen.

In the inner courtyard of the martial arts hall, Tan Pan opened the door and welcomed Wei Tao in.

"I was talking about looking for you, and the seventh junior brother came over by himself."

"Could it be that you smelled it at home, and came to me to get my good things back?"

Tan Pan said hello to Wei Tao, and then took out a packet of jerky from the back room.

Before you fully open the package, you can smell the strong smell of herbs.

"This is what Senior Brother said?" Wei Tao asked.

"Here, cut a piece and taste it."

Tan Pan put the bag of jerky on the table and handed over a knife.

Wei Tao cut off a piece the size of his chin and stuffed it into his mouth to chew it carefully.

He couldn't help frowning, and endured it again and again so that he didn't throw it up on the spot.

"It's so bitter, it's like eating pickled yellow lotus ......"

Before he finished his sentence, Wei Tao suddenly closed his mouth and sat still with his eyes closed.

After a long time, he exhaled a scorching breath, and without saying a word, he cut another piece and put it in his mouth.

"Well, this is the golden-veined tiger meat I told you about before."

"And it's golden-veined tiger meat made from many precious medicinal herbs."

Tan Pan slowly tasted the tea, looked at the rapidly decreasing pieces of meat, and sighed greedily, "The seventh junior brother has eaten it, I have to recuperate now, this kind of tiger and wolf medicine is not daring to touch it at all." ”

"This is golden-veined tiger meat?

The results are truly extraordinary. ”

Wei Tao swallowed the food in his mouth, his face full of joy.

"Well, this bag of meat is worth at least a hundred taels of silver, and even if you have money, it is difficult to buy it on the market."

Tan Pan laughed, "It's a pity that it's not the fresh meat that was just hunted, otherwise it would definitely be better to cook it with spiritual ginseng." ”

"But even so, it shows the intentions of the Inner City Qu family to the Seventh Senior Brother."

"Qu family, intentions? Senior brother might as well make what he said a little more clearly. Wei Tao raised his head, his expression full of doubt.

Tan Pan blinked, "In the morning, the Qu family sent someone over, saying that it was a return gift for you the previous time, and the next person took the wrong thing, Miss Qu was very angry, and immediately asked someone to double the amount to make up for the junior brother." ”

Wei Tao couldn't help but be stunned.

Is it the family of Miss Qu who ended the embarrassing blind date after talking to him in less than three sentences in total?

Having given him a fur coat and pastries before, he knew that this was a family of exquisite people.

But they didn't expect that they would pay attention to such a height.

Pastries, clothing, animal meat.

The gifts are getting more and more advanced every time, what are they trying to do?

Could it be that he can't afford to recruit his son-in-law, so he wants to recruit him as a caretaker?

So, when someone really proposes it, do you agree or not?

Wei Tao's heart moved, but his hands and mouths kept talking.

Regardless of the Qu family's idea for the time being, the precious food that can greatly stimulate qi and blood in front of them cannot be wasted.

Everything will wait until he finishes eating.

Not long after, a large bag of golden-veined tiger meat all entered Wei Tao's stomach.

After asking Tan Pan a few more questions about his cultivation, he immediately got up to leave, and hurriedly went back to carry his qi and blood to practice.

At that moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

Tan Pan and Wei Tao glanced at each other.

One staggered to his feet and grasped the narrow knife that was erected next to the bed.

With a flick of the wrist, he grabbed two money darts with sharpened edges.

At this time, it was getting late, and the martial arts disciples had already gone home.

The other servants also went to rest, and no one should have come again.

"Who?"

Tan Pan flashed to the back of the door and asked.

"Tan Gongzi, it's an old body."

An old woman's voice came from outside the door.

"It turned out to be Granny Pan, please come in quickly."

Tan Pan breathed a sigh of relief, put the narrow knife behind his back with one hand, and opened the door with the other.

Wei Tao is still hidden behind the closet, ready to burst out at any time.

"The old body won't go in, here is a medicine powder that invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis to heal Tan Gongzi's injuries.

In addition, there are thirty catties of fresh black meat, and I have to bother Tan Gongzi to transfer it to Wei Gongzi. ”

The old woman outside the door left after speaking, and she really didn't stop.

Inside the house, the two looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

Not only Wei Tao, but even Tan Pan was a little puzzled, not understanding what kind of play this was about.

"This is the old loyal servant of the Qu family in the inner city, brought by Mrs. Qu from her mother's house, and she was also one of the top martial artists in Cangyuan City back then.

If it weren't for her support, I'm afraid that after the head of the Qu family died of an accidental injury, Qu Sheng would not have been able to take over the family's industry. ”

"It's a pity that the years are not forgiving, the former jade-faced evil star is now weakened by qi and blood, and he is no longer as brave as he was back then."

Tan Pan said with some emotion, and suddenly the whole person was stunned, and looked at Wei Tao with blazing eyes, "Seventh Senior Brother, do you think there is such a possibility?" ”

"What is possible?" Wei Tao asked.

Tan Pan frowned, and hesitated for a long time.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "Although I'm a little strange, but this matter, it really can't think about it in an ordinary way." ”

"Senior Brother Tan, just say it directly, I'll listen to it." Wei Tao took a sip of tea without raising his head.

Tan Pan hesitated again, "I think, is it possible that although Miss Qu didn't take a fancy to you, but Mrs. Qu took a fancy to you?" ”

Wei Tao was stunned for a moment, and half a cup of tea was spilled.

Tan Pan hissed as if he had a toothache, "We really have to take care of this matter, let's not talk about other people's opinions or anything, it's Mrs. Qu's age, and this gold brick is really a bit much." ”

"........." Wei Tao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Tan Pan was still immersed in his own thoughts.

I looked down and pondered for a long time, and I was really tasted a little different by him.

He raised his head again, with an inexplicable smile on his face, "But then again, there are not too many of us in such a good thing as gold bricks, Seventh Senior Brother, are you right?" ”

"Thinking about it further, capturing Miss Qu is equivalent to controlling the future of the Qu family;

So to catch Mrs. Qu is to grasp the present of the Qu family......"

Wei Tao interrupted Tan Pan's reverie and said a little speechlessly, "What does Senior Brother mean, let me grasp the present and then control the future?" ”

"No, I didn't say anything, brother,

This is all realized by yourself, Seventh Senior Brother,

It has nothing to do with me,

and it must not be blamed on me. ”

Tan Pan shook his head again and again, righteous and righteous.

"Senior brother, I still have something to do at home, so I'll leave first." Wei Tao didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Tan Pan's shout came from behind him, "Seventh Senior Brother, remember to take these black stalks away, this is a piece of kindness from Mrs. Qu, and most importantly, in terms of stimulating qi and blood, it has an outstanding effect!" ”

……………………

The wind was cold and the snow was falling.

Wei Tao felt hot and dry, and his blood was surging.

The packet of beast jerky that I had just eaten was exuding its effect more and more ferocity.

Up and down, it seems that there is an inexhaustible strength.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the entire Cangyuan City was quickly shrouded in a white expanse of color.

Wei Tao sped up.

Carrying a large bag of black pork in his hand, he hurried home to soak it in medicinal herbs.

Suddenly, he paused, and with the help of the cover of passers-by, he turned his head to look back.

Then he walked dozens of steps forward as if nothing had happened,

Stopped in front of an iron shop.

Wei Tao lowered the hat on his head,

Lift the collar to cover your face,

Stopped the boss who was about to close.

"What do you want to buy?"

The shopkeeper lowered the last door panel with a flattering smile on his face.

It's damn weather, and nothing was sold for the whole day.

If this continues, the livelihood will become a problem in the future.

Therefore, after seeing a guest who has the intention of buying something, let alone let him accompany him with a smile, even if he kneels on the spot, he is willing to eat.

"I'll take a look first." Wei Tao stepped through the door and glanced behind him covertly.

"There is everything in our store, and the guest officer can look at it casually, and look at it casually." The owner of the iron shop rubbed his hands, nodded and followed.

I have to say that although this shop is small, it is like a sparrow.

From kitchen utensils to farm tools, and even knives of all kinds, there are all kinds of iron utensils in it.

However, business does not seem to be very good, and some things seem to be uncared for, and there are already stains of rust.

Noticing Wei Tao's gaze, the boss of the iron shop sighed, "This year's situation is not very good, many people should change their tools, in order to save money, they will continue to use it, so that shops like ours will also eat and drink......

"How much do these nails cost?" Wei Tao interrupted him and stopped in the corner of the shop.

Seeing that it was such a worthless thing, the owner of the iron shop was a little discouraged, but he still laughed and said, "These gadgets are worthless, the guest officer can buy them with copper coins, and you can exchange them for food, so I will pick out the nails that are not rusty for the guest officer." ”

Wei Tao shook his head, "Don't pick, I like rusty nails." ”

"Uh......" The owner of the iron shop was slightly stunned, and then suddenly smiled, "It turns out that the guest officer wants to use rusty nails to drink, but we are fellow believers, when we have no money to buy meat and vegetables, a nail can produce the taste of delicious meat." ”

"Well, brother, you can take a few sticks and go, and I won't take any money."

"No, you still have to pay the money you have to pay."

Wei Tao turned around the shop again as he spoke, and stretched out his fingers to several things, "Get me a pack of nails, these two daggers, and a row of darts over there, take them off for me." ”

"And this iron pot lid, I want it too."

When the owner of the iron shop listened, he could smile a flower on his face.

This is a big customer.

With just this one deal, even if he doesn't open for a few days in a row, he doesn't have to worry about being hungry.

However, after a few moments, the ironshop owner's smile stiffened.

even a little chill all over the body,

My legs are also a little weak.

Just because this guest officer behaved a little strangely,

No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a serious trader,

It's like a bandit who is ready to rob his house.

For example, you have to tuck the lid into your clothes and tie it up;

Hang a row of darts behind your waist;

The dagger is hidden inside the sleeve;

Nails fill pockets.

Even the black ashes were packed by him.

I don't know whose face it's going to be photographed.

However, when the heavy silver ingot fell into his hand, the owner of the iron shop immediately turned red.

Then I saw the neatly dressed "guests" submerged in the snowstorm......

He locked the doors and windows and slapped himself.

Guest?

What guests?

Today's weather is cold and snowy, and the store has not opened at all, where are the customers!

Wei Tao walked dozens of meters along the road,

Quietly burrowed into a dark stone alley.

He slowed down, slower and slower.

Finally stopped around a corner.

Then he turned around and looked at the three people who were approaching behind him.

A gentle smile appeared on his face, "Xiao He has only shown his sharp corners, and in this cold and snowy night, you have revealed it again." ”

"What, could it be that Brother Tai didn't have a good conscience and came to apologize for me?"

The man in the center of the three lifted his hat, his eyes were cold and full of murderous intent.

Zhao Yi stared at Wei Tao, "It's you, it's you who killed Xiao Yue, I'm going to let you pay it back with your life today!" ”

"Xiaoyue? Who is this? ”

Wei Tao frowned slightly, "Oh, I remembered, that little girl." ”

"But what does it matter to me whether she is dead or alive, have you misunderstood something?"

"What did I misunderstand......"

Zhao Yi clenched his teeth and said word by word, "If it weren't for you, how could Xiaoyue be killed by that vicious woman in Qu Xiang!?" ”

"You're sick in the head."

Wei Tao put his hand in his pocket, "Who killed her, who do you go to, and it's about me?" ”

"Kill him for me!"

"To pay tribute to Xiaoyue's spirit in the sky!"

Zhao Yi stretched out his hand and pointed, and the two strong men on the left and right rushed forward quickly.

Regardless of before and after, Wei Tao raised his hand at the same time.

Syllable!

A bag of ash exploded.

Mixed in the vast snowflakes, he smashed his head and face.
