The poor couple did not move their bodies, still sitting firmly on the chair, he arched his hand, and said, "Taihao, it's been a long time." ”

The corners of Taihao's mouth hooked up a sneer, and he responded, "Didn't we just meet last night?" ”

Poor two said: "When I went to Liuding Mountain last night, in order to save my disciple, I didn't see your face clearly." It wasn't until today that I heard about it that I realized you were there last night. I remember a few days ago, I heard that you went to Tibet, why did you come here again? ”

Tai Hao pursed his lips, disdainful of the poor two's question, and said contemptuously: "You are very concerned about the whereabouts of my official, and you even know such a secret thing as my going to Tibet. ”

Poor two said: "Of course, after all, you have what we want." ”

Tai Hao's heart sank, knowing that what the poor two were talking about was the cheats of "Snow Cat Fluttering" on their bodies. He subconsciously touched his chest, and at this time he was hiding the cheats of "Drunken Cat and Mouse" in his clothes. He said to the poor two: "What you want is no longer in me. ”

The poor two said in a deep voice: "Time is like water, passing in a hurry, in an instant, you have understood the true meaning of "Snow Cat Fluttering", the mirror in my heart, the cheats are no longer stored in you. But I have come to the moon this day, and I have asked for another thing, and I would like your help. ”

"What's the matter?" Tai Hao wondered.

The poor two turned their heads slightly, glanced at their apprentices, and said, "I'll let my apprentices tell you carefully." ”

"Yes, Master!" The halberd male's voice was crisp, and he responded, "Brother Taihao, do you know that there is an ancient tower on the top of Liuding Mountain, and there is a secret book hidden in the tower, which is hidden in the brocade box, and the brocade box is hidden behind the hanging plaque on the fifth floor of the ancient tower. My Master would like you to climb the tower and get the brocade box. ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Taihao's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is the secret book you are talking about?" ”

With a deep look in his eyes, he replied, "You only need to retrieve the brocade box, and you don't need to ask what the secret book is hidden in it." ”

Taihao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "Why should I get involved in this matter and help you?" ”

The corners of the poor two mouths hooked up a smile, and he said slowly: "Don't you want to rescue Miss Coriander Zhi?" With your strength alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the Zhuying Pavilion Lord of the Phoenix Pavilion. However, if I lead the disciples of Kunwu Mountain, I can help you defeat her and save Miss Coriander Zhi. ”

Tai Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing curiosity: "Since you have this ability, why don't you directly lead the disciples of Kunwu Mountain to Liuding Mountain and take away the cheats in one fell swoop, but you still have to be so troubled, let me help you steal the cheats?" His tone revealed a suspicion of the motives of the poor.

After hearing this, the poor two sighed lightly and said, "Taihao, you don't know anything." The ancient pagoda of Liuding Mountain has many mechanisms, and with the strength of my Kunwu Mountain disciple alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to successfully obtain the brocade box. Moreover, Lord Zhu Ying has already taken precautions against us, and if we go blatantly, we will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. My apprentice has tried to go up Liuding Mountain many times, but he was stopped at the bottom of the mountain and couldn't get his hands on it. You are an official of the imperial court, with a special status and convenient behavior, and if you take action, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Tai Hao was silent after hearing this, and quickly calculated in his heart. Although he was skeptical of the poor couple's words, rescuing Miss Coriander was indeed an important thing for him.

Seeing that he was silent, he said: "Taihao, you and I both understand that things in the world are black and white, and there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. You help me get the brocade box, I help you rescue Miss Coriander, everyone takes what they need, why not? ”

Tai Hao's eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice: "Poor two, why don't your three brothers come with you today?" There was a hint of inquiry in his tone.

The corners of the poor two mouths raised slightly, and they responded indifferently: "Taihao, you are quite concerned about the whereabouts of my brothers." They have their own affairs to take care of, so why should they be with me every moment? ”

A cold light flashed in Tai Hao's eyes, and he said solemnly: "I advise you to control the disciples on Kunwu Mountain, and don't let them go to Jiutu City to act recklessly and disturb public order!" There was a hint of majesty in his tone, obviously he had heard of the actions of the disciples of Kunwu Mountain.

When the Yuhong City Lord heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Taihao, we are gathered here today to reminisce about the old feelings, not to talk about government affairs, not to talk about government affairs, not to talk about government affairs......" He said in a gentle tone, trying to resolve this tense atmosphere.

However, Taihao was unmoved, he said coldly: "Yuhong City Lord, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the bandits on Kunwu Mountain are doing anything wrong in Jiutu City, are you going to stay out of it and ignore it? He spoke aggressively, clearly trying to get to the bottom of the matter.

Poor two eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for my disciples on Kunwu Mountain to do anything wrong in Jiutu City. Occasionally, one or two disciples are greedy and drunk, and their behavior is out of shape, and after returning to Kunwu Mountain, I will naturally punish them severely. Taihao, you just came to Jiutu City to take up your post, did you hear some untrue rumors and misunderstandings? There was a hint of disdain in his tone, obviously not thinking that Taihao's accusations had any basis.

At this time, Hou Feng, the general of Jiutu City who was sitting on the side, saw this and hurriedly came out to play a round. He smiled and said, "Don't be angry, the poor two heroes, Lord Taihao has just arrived in Jiutu City, and he may have some misunderstandings about the disciples of Kunwu Mountain. The more you learn in the future, the misunderstanding will naturally be eliminated. He spoke calmly, trying to defuse the tension.

When Tai Hao was in Wuqu City, the city lord of Da Yuxian had vaguely revealed that the bandits in Jiutu City might not be directly related to the disciples of Kunwu Mountain. This information quietly left an imprint in Tai Hao's heart, triggering his in-depth thinking about the issue of public security in Jiutu City.

However, at this moment, Tai Hao was in Jiutu City, and in the face of the questioning of the leader of Kunwu Mountain, he did not hesitate to make his accusations. He originally thought that his words would be supported by the officials present, but unexpectedly, the Yuhong City Lord and General Houfeng actually came forward to stop him.

The Yuhong City Lord's words flickered, trying to take the topic away from government affairs, obviously unwilling to dwell too much with Tai Hao on this issue. General Hou Feng also played a round, hoping to defuse the tension, but did not directly respond to Tai Hao's questioning. This scene made Taihao feel puzzled.

He began to think about whether the bandits in Jiutu City had anything to do with Kunwu Mountain? If it really doesn't matter, why did the Yuhong City Lord and General Houfeng avoid the question so much? Is there a deeper story hidden in it?

Yu Hong bowed slightly to Tai Hao, and arched his hand: "Lord Tai Hao, are you willing to move a little and take a step to speak?" His voice was low and respectful, making it difficult for Taihao to refuse.

Tai Hao happily got up and walked out of the front hall with Yu Hong, and they came to a slightly quiet corner. Yu Hong took a deep breath and said, "Lord Taihao, regarding the matter of the bandits in the city, this official hopes that you can put it aside for the time being and don't mention it again. I'll explain to you more about why in a moment. His tone revealed a deep helplessness, but it was full of anticipation.

After hearing this, Tai Hao's eyes flashed with determination, and he said, "Yuhong City Lord, you don't need to be afraid of the poor two, one of the 'Four Great Demons'. He had been defeated at my hands, so why should I fear to fight him again? Even if it were him, even if he came with his three brothers, I would still accuse him to my face, so what's the matter? Taihao's tone revealed a fearless pride, as if he didn't take the poor two in his eyes.

However, Yu Hong shook his head slightly, he stared at Tai Hao, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Tai Hao, things are not as simple as you think. The entanglements and entanglements are far beyond your imagination. I'm not afraid of the poor, but I'm worried that if you continue to investigate, it may set off an uncontrollable storm. His voice was full of worry and apprehension, and it was clear that he hoped that Taihao would stay out of the matter and not get involved in this seemingly simple, but in fact complicated dispute.

Tai Hao's eyes were like torches, staring sharply at the Yuhong City Lord, and said in a deep voice: "Yuhong City Lord, can you tell me honestly, are the bandits on Kunwu Mountain in the mouths of the people in the city really originating from Kunwu Mountain?" Or is it actually the people in the city who pretended to be bandits in Kunwu Mountain and pretended to be bandits? His eyes seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts, as if he wants to see through all the secrets in Yu Hong's heart.

The Yuhong City Lord was taken aback by Tai Hao's gaze, and he hurriedly interrupted Tai Hao's words, with a hint of pleading in his tone: "Lord Taihao, I will explain this matter to you in detail later." Now, for the sake of the people of Jiutu City, I hope you don't offend the poor two heroes again, try to follow his wishes, and let him leave as soon as possible. Don't provoke him, this is my request as the lord of the city. ”

Despite his doubts and unwillingness, Taihao agreed to Yu Hong's request. The two returned to the front hall, and the poor two said proudly: "Our disciples of Kunwu Mountain have always been self-reliant, even if we occasionally rob caravans, we only rob the rich to help the poor, and we have never bullied the people of Jiutu City. ”

"Then what's the matter with the Nine Earth City craftsmen you captured?" Tai Hao asked.

Yu Hong saw that Taihao's tone was still aggressive, and hurriedly made a "cough" sound to imply that Taihao was restrained. The poor two replied, "We didn't arrest them, we paid them to go up the mountain." ”

"What do you want those craftsmen to do on Kunwu Mountain?" Taihao continued to ask.

The poor couple hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Originally, I didn't want to say more about this, but since you asked, I'll tell you." My eldest brother You Li died of a sudden illness, and we asked the craftsmen to go up the mountain to repair his tomb. ”

Taihao heard the news of You Li's death, and said in shock: "You Li's health has always been very good, how could he suddenly die of illness?" ”

"What? Can't you bear my big brother? The poor two sneered, "My eldest brother has always had a hidden illness, and we didn't expect his sudden death." Before he died, he failed to get the "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow" on you, nor did he get the raccoon ...... on the ancient tower of Liuding Mountain" The poor two said this, and suddenly stopped.

When Tai Hao heard the word "raccoon", he immediately thought of "Tanuki Worship God" practiced by the eighth uncle. He asked suspiciously: "Are you saying that the secret book on the ancient tower of Liuding Mountain is "Tanuki Worship God"?" ”

The poor two smiled and said, "Did I say it?" I didn't say that. The halberd male also chimed in: "My master didn't say which secret book it is. ”

Tai Hao said firmly: "If you can help me rescue Coriander Zhi, I will try to help you get the cheats." But you have to tell me what the cheats are first, otherwise I won't go. ”

The corners of the poor two's mouths hooked up a smile: "Since you guessed, it doesn't hurt to tell you, that's right, it is the "Tanuki Worship God" practiced by my master Zhexiao." There was confidence in his tone, as if it was all under his control.
