Wandering back along Maicang Lane to the lively Fulong Street, I was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do next.

As he walked, he speculated on the identity of the swarthy man before, and looking at his words and deeds, it seemed that his temptation was greater than his hostility, and it seemed that it was most likely a spy squatting here?

Wandering away from the crowded streets, trying to sort out the chaotic clues.

"Considering the chaotic situation, and Brother Dashan's whereabouts reveal a trace of weirdness, it is necessary to investigate deeply. In addition, since that person may be a spy who is watching, then I still have to do a full set of plays, so let's go to Shangwufang for a spin first. ”

Having made up his mind, he pretended to be relaxed, walking and strolling around while pondering a more pressing question - there was not much coiled around him.

"Why do you always feel that you have been very lucky lately? What about the body of good luck and the possession of wealth?" You Li couldn't help laughing at herself, and couldn't help but roar, "God, if I am really a chosen son, then you can prove it to me, for example, a gust of wind blows out of thin air, and some money is blown." ”

Thinking about it, he really subconsciously looked up at the sky, but unfortunately there was nothing but gloomy dark clouds.

However, when he retracted his gaze, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a two-story shop plaque next to him, which read: "Yang Kee Pharmacy".

Yeung Kee Pharmacy?

You Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration, could it be the pharmacy of Yang Yuanwai's family in Anhua Town, right? I remember Cai San said that his medicinal herb business is getting bigger and bigger, and he also has stores and industries in Anxi City.

"It just so happens that there are some medicinal herbs on my body, which my father picked by the way when he was hunting, so it's good to sell some of them. ”

So, he turned and walked in.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a strong smell of medicinal herbs. A young man immediately greeted him and asked with a smile:

"Guest, buy medicine or ask for a doctor?"

You looked around and replied: "I don't buy medicine, I don't ask for a doctor, I want to ask if your store accepts medicinal materials?"

When the guy heard this, he looked him up and down with a strange face, and said suspiciously:

"Our store has been buying all kinds of medicinal herbs for many years, what medicinal herbs do you have?"

Ignoring his attitude, he said lightly, "Can you call the shots?"

When the guy heard this, he frowned slightly and said:

"My husband is sitting in the back hall, and it's not convenient to come out now. I see that the guest officer has no baggage with him, and there are no carriages and horses outside, so he came alone, and if he didn't let us see the medicinal materials first, how could we talk about the purchase?"

You Li smiled slightly, and his right hand passed through his waist, and there was an extra cold jade box in his hand.

The guy was stunned and stunned for a long time, only then did he realize that the boy in front of him, who looked only about ten years old, turned out to be an immortal master?

Immediately, his eyes lit up, and then he bowed his head and apologized:

"It turned out to be the immortal master, the small one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I ask the immortal master to forgive the sins. ”

You Li waved his hand, showing that he didn't care much, and only asked:

"Here are two daylilies that are more than 50 years old, you can arrange for someone to identify them. ”

When the guy heard this, he responded with a mouthful, and immediately turned around and ran into the back hall with the jade box.

Not long after, a wealthy middle-aged man in his forties walked out with a breeze under his feet.

With squinting eyes, he recognized that this person was Yang Bocai, the owner of Yang Ji Pharmacy.

Yang Bocai was also stunned, and then said with a smile:

It turned out to be You Gongzi, I haven't seen him for a year, and I'm really getting more and more heroic. ”

You Li hugged his fists and said: "Boss Yang's business is prosperous!"

After the greetings, everyone sat down, and Yang Bocai said with a smile while making tea with his own hands:

"I'll just say who is so generous, as soon as you shoot it, it's two cyanodaylilies - this is a good thing to regulate the internal organs. I didn't expect it to be you, so it's not surprising. We can be regarded as one raw and two mature, and my brother will not deceive you, the price is two hundred and twenty taels, how about it?"

Celestial herb is an essential medicinal material for refining Xuanlu pills. Xuanlu Pill is a kind of elixir that purifies the heart and concentrates the mind, which can effectively relieve people's mental fatigue, and at the same time has a certain effect of nourishing the soul, and is a must-have for alchemists, charmers, refiners and other monks who are engaged in external cultivation and need to spend their minds for a long time.

However, Cyanobalytic is only an auxiliary medicinal material, not the main medicine, and the fifty-year planting age is very common in the cultivation world, and the price is about eighteen spirits, which is not expensive, but in the secular world, it is a typical high-grade medicinal material.

Although you don't know the specific price of daylily in the secular world, you still have a rough estimate in your heart, the planting age of fifty years should be about two hundred taels, and the other party gives twenty taels more, and completely ignores the "generation difference" in age, and directly calls yourself the "old brother", and the intention of showing favor is obvious.

You Li smiled: "Deal." By the way, I haven't seen Qin Lexin for a long time, how is he lately?"

Yang Bocai handed over a cup of hot tea and said with a smile:

"The Qin family is really prosperous, have you heard? The ancestor of the Qin family, that is, the land lord of Chaoshan Town, seems to have made some great achievements, and our Anhua Town will also be under the protection of his old man. ”

Of course I know the land lord, and I also participated in that great achievement!

"Yongyi Gong has been promoted? That's really good, we also have the protection of gods in Anhua Town!"

"No, you are already familiar with Young Master Lexin, you might as well move around more, and our friends who are a little bit close to each other will also be stained!"

Then, Yang Bocai asked again: "By the way, Gongzi You came to Anxi City this time to do business?"

You Li nodded, and seeing that the time was almost up, he asked quietly:

"Presumably Boss Yang has heard of it somewhat, I also have a brother who has been exiled and lost his news for many years. A few days ago, my father inquired about a little news and learned that he might be begging for a living in Anxi City. This time, I just wanted to try my luck. ”

Yang Bocai's face suddenly appeared, slowly took a sip of hot tea, and sighed:

"I've heard this happen to the old man. Alas, the two countries are at war, the people have suffered, and how many people have been displaced and separated from their flesh and blood, just like your family! Now that the situation has finally stabilized, I hope that next year's peace talks will have a substantive result. ”

You Li also took a sip of tea, and the intuition tea was thick and drunk, and the sour taste was like the fierce temperament of a border person, unruly, and it took a long time to show an endless aftertaste.

"I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with Anxi City, I don't know if Boss Yang has heard of the security guard?"

Yang Bocai's hand on the charcoal paused slightly, and then said:

"Of course I did. Of the four major dart bureaus in Anxi City, only the security dart bureau is located in Maicang Lane, and the other three are located in Shangwufang. ”

It seems that the swarthy man I saw earlier did not lie.

Seeing that he looked thoughtful, Yang Bocai turned on the fire in the charcoal basin and said tentatively:

"Is that brother of yours working in the security guard?"

You Li had already seen his actions in his eyes, and generously admitted:

"Yes. I just went to the door, but no one answered, I asked the neighbors, and they all said that no one had been in or out of the dart board for a month. ”

Seeing that the other party wanted to speak and stopped, his heart sank, and he hurriedly asked:

"Boss Yang, could it be that something happened to the security guard bureau?"

Yang Bocai hesitated for a moment, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a low voice:

"Since the beginning of this year, the business of my branch has been okay. Didn't I hear that the two countries were going to strike and form an alliance, so I wanted to open up the trade route with the Xiongnu Boulder City in advance, and the main dart route of the Security Dart Bureau happened to be the trade route to the west, so two months ago, our store placed a dart order to traffic some medicinal materials to Boulder City......"

"And then?"

Yang Bocai smiled bitterly:

"About a month ago, I also met their Tong dart head and said that the dart team from our pharmacy was already on their way back. I was secretly glad I was lucky. Who knew that when I went back a few days later, the door of the dart game was already closed and sealed. ”

"Seal?" "Wandering was puzzled, "I didn't see the seal when I first went?"

Yang Bocai shook his head and said:

"Then I don't know. If your lost brother is really begging for a living in the security guard, the situation may not be very optimistic at this time. ”

At this time, he was not worried about his brother's safety, because Zhou Chenghuang said very clearly, You Dashan was not only alive, but also had gone to Xuanzhou, and now it seems that the possibility of going to avoid the limelight is not small.

Did the security guard do something?

So, he asked:

"Boss Yang, what is the border trade policy between the two countries now?"

"After more than 10 years of dozens of large and small wars between the two countries, they have already broken their muscles and bones, and it is the general trend to restore the old good. In addition, the people's livelihood on the border withered, so the trade routes were first opened to a limited extent, and daily necessities such as tea, silk, porcelain, and medicinal materials were exchanged, but strategic materials such as grain and ore were still strictly forbidden to trade. ”

Yang Bocai paused and continued:

"I also investigated the background of some security guards for a while, and learned that the two dart heads of this dart bureau, one is a well-known martial artist in the rivers and lakes, and the other is a soldier who was injured and discharged, and this time it was the latter who was responsible for escorting the darts. I pondered it myself, and I guess the dart bureau wanted him to be responsible for dealing with the defenders at various checkpoints along the way, but maybe it was his 'advantage' of his background that became a disadvantage when he got to the Huns. ”

You Li felt that this analysis was not unreasonable, but there was still no definite information, so he said in a consultative tone:

"I want to find a way to walk the door of the main division, the security guard bureau, and ask Boss Yang to continue to investigate, if there is a harvest, there will be a lot of gratitude. ”

Yang Bocai waved his hand and said with a smile:

"In this matter, we have the same demand, we don't have to see each other in this way. When you go out, you are fellow countrymen, and you should take care of each other. ”

Subsequently, Youli took a stack of silver tickets handed by the other party, four with a face value of fifty taels, and two with a face value of ten taels, which were included in the bag and said goodbye.

Not long after he left, Yang Bocai was packing up the tea set, and the guy ran in from the front shop and said:

"Sir, someone asked to see him, and he claimed to be from the Giyi Division. ”

"Ji Yisi?" Yang Bocai's face sank.

Ji Yi Division is the spy agency of the Anxi Border Army, directly under the Metropolitan Governor's Office, mainly responsible for the military secrets on the border, collecting relevant intelligence on the Hun enemy army, and now the authority has been further expanded, and it has begun to be responsible for searching for the enemy spies infiltrated in Anxi Prefecture, and it is a military minion that ordinary people are afraid of.

After the guy left and ordered to go out, Yang Bocai looked at the still boiling stove and said with a wry smile: "It's good now, there is no need to relight the fire." ”

A moment later, the man led in a man in a gray shirt.

The man in his thirties quickly glanced into the room, stared directly at Yang Bocai and asked:

"What did that little Taoist priest say to you just now?"
