After a while, an old beggar in his fifties and sixties with a white beard appeared, and after seeing Xu Ping, he asked a little suspiciously: "I heard that you came to me and want to negotiate a deal, what deal?" Is it worth a thousand taels of silver? ”

"Master Zhang Xiang, there are a lot of people here, why don't we find a place with fewer people to talk to, what do you think?"

"Okay, let's go over there!"

The two of them walked to a place 100 meters away from the stone bridge, and then sat down to talk. Xu Ping said: "Master Zhang Xiang, I want to send someone out of the city, I wonder if your gang can be accommodating?" ”

"If you want to get out of the city, you guys should get out, what are you looking for us?"

"Haha, Master Zhang Xiang, it's inconvenient for this person to show up in front of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, so I found you, this is an old friend told me, he said you have a way."

"Who, who's your friend?"

"This old friend of mine is surnamed Hong, known as Hong Qigong, and he is nicknamed the Nine-Fingered Beggar."

"Hong Qigong? Nine-fingered beggar? I haven't heard of it! ”

You haven't heard of it, it's really strange if there really is such a person in this world.

This Hong Qigong old-timer's martial arts reached the pinnacle, with the "dog stick method" and "dragon eighteen palms" crown the world, was one of the "five uniques in the world" of the "Northern Beggar", but also the world's largest gang - the leader of the beggar gang. ”

"Beggar gang leader? Where did you meet him? ”

"This is the year before last, although Hong Qigong's predecessors are famous for their martial arts, he is very fond of food, often plays games in the world, walks through thousands of mountains and rivers, and eats all the delicious food in the world. That year, he happened to pass by my house, and I invited him to eat a delicious dish: called Hua Chicken, Hong's predecessors were greatly praised after eating, and left a message for me when he left, if there is any difficulty in the future, you can go to him, and he will definitely help me turn evil into good fortune and get through the difficulties. ”

"I didn't care at first, Mr. Hong has always been a family from all over the world, wandering, if something really happens to me, how can I find him? Isn't this a random promise? ”

"Lord Zhang Xiang, you also know that the army of Qinan County is pressing, and many people are trapped in the city and cannot escape. At this time, an old friend of my father's generation asked me to send his daughter out of the city, but he didn't want people to know that his daughter was out of the city, and wanted me to send her out secretly. ”

"In the past few days, just when I was at a loss, someone suddenly sent me a message, guess who sent it? As you may have guessed by now, this person is the old man of Hong Qigong, who told me that only the beggars can help me get people out of the city. ”

"Oh! I see! Zhang Xiangzhu pondered for a long time, and suddenly slapped his big hand on his leg: "I remember, the old man of Hong Qigong you said is the leader of our beggar gang, but he is the former and the front...... The former helper, I haven't seen him for many years, I can't imagine that you are so blessed, I really envy you! ”

"Yes! I really want to meet him and cook him a delicious meal again: boiling water cabbage. Master Zhang Xiang, have you ever eaten boiled cabbage before? ”

Zhang Xiangzhu nodded subconsciously and said, "No!" ”

"You haven't eaten it, that's a shame! Boiling water cabbage, as the name suggests, the focus of this dish is "boiling water", and this "boiling water" is not the other boiling water, it is the old hen, the old duck, Yunnan Xuanwei ham on the hooves, ribs, scallops and other fresh goods into the boiling water pot respectively, in addition to the blood water and impurities out and then washed, put into the soup pot together, add enough water, ginger, green onions, add cooking wine, change to low heat to keep slightly boiling, slowly boil until the soup is umami. ”

After Zhang Xiang heard this, he almost drooled.

Xu Ping said apologetically: "Master Zhang Xiang, I'm sorry, when it comes to food, I can't help but say it, let's continue to talk about business now, if your gang can help me send people out, I am willing to send a thousand taels of silver as a thank you this time." ”

"This ....... for the sake of the old gang leader Hong and your friendship, I agreed here, but you have to wait for two days, and then let your people out of the city after I arrange it here."

"Two days? Well, it's not bad for these two days! ”

Seeing that the matter was settled, Xu Ping did not continue to stay, but when he left, he still left a deposit of two hundred taels.

After leaving Shiqiao, Xu Ping went to Xu's Pill Workshop, he wanted to ask if the demon beast blood had arrived?

"Young Master Xu, the demon beast blood you want has arrived!"

"Great!" After hearing this, Xu Ping was very happy.

The clerk took out a thumb-sized jade bottle and handed it to Xu Ping, after Xu Ping opened it, an amazing evil aura was about to pour out of the jade bottle, rushing straight into his mind, making him feel shocked and in a trance, so frightened that he quickly closed the bottle cap.

"You don't have to worry, the jade bottle is engraved with a formation, and the evil qi will not rush out of the jade bottle, but when you use it in the future, you must pay attention not to drop too much at one time."

Xu Ping shook the jade bottle and said, "There are more than three drops of demon beast blood in this!" I estimate at least a dozen drops, but I don't have so much silver, can you just give me three or four? ”

"This ....... I don't have a jade bottle to store the blood of demon beasts, so I can't separate it for you!" The clerk thought for a while before saying, "It's better like this, you give me three thousand taels of silver, and I will give you this bottle of demon beast blood!" ”

"Is this appropriate?" Xu Ping asked a little skeptically.

"Suitable, why not? It's useless for me to keep it in my hands, so I might as well give it all to you. ”

Under the persuasion of the clerk, Xu Ping paid three thousand taels of silver and bought the bottle of demon beast's blood.

When he walked out of the Xu Clan's Pill Workshop far away, he still felt that this thing was a bit incredible, was this demon beast blood fake?

It doesn't seem to be fake, Xu's Pill Shop doesn't sell fakes.

If this bottle of demon beast blood is real, then he has earned it, and he has made a lot of money! Three thousand taels of silver to buy more than a dozen drops of demon beast blood is indeed unbelievable.

As for the clerk saying that the blood of this demon beast was useless to him, Xu Ping would not believe it. Everyone in this world knows that demon beasts are full of treasures, and anything on their bodies can be used for refining weapons or alchemy, and the higher the level of demon beasts, the greater the material value of their bodies. The same is true of the blood of demon beasts, and it is also a treasure for alchemy and body refining.

Why do clerks do this? Is there a noble man who is secretly helping me? But who is this nobleman?

Parents? Sibling? Or someone else?

Xu Ping thought about it for a long time, it is possible for anyone, or there is no such possibility, it is God who has mercy on me and has specially asked someone to send me this bottle of demon beast blood.

Just when Xu Ping was thinking about it, someone behind him had already secretly followed him, because the person who was following him was not sure to catch Xu Ping, so he sent someone to the Wolf Gang to report the news, hoping that the masters in the gang would come to support and besiege Xu Ping together.
