In the early morning, the Long'an Inn, which had been silent all night, began a new day of busyness, and the streets of Huodu City gradually became lively from deserted.

Liu Xunyi, who had been sleepless all night, had already packed up, he put on the tattered linen clothes when he was doing coolies, waited for dawn in the room, and waited until there was a lively sound downstairs, before he got up and left the guest room, preparing to go to Fuhe Grain Village to find the housekeeper Lao Xu and find out the news of the four people from the Western Regions.

Liu Xunyi was so preoccupied that he was in a hurry, so that he almost collided with Lei Biao who was coming up when he went down the stairs.

"Get out of here, blind your dog's eye!"

Lei Biao scolded urgently, and then without waiting for Liu Xunyi to reply, he had already waved his big hand, directly pushed Liu Xunyi who was blocking in front of him to the side, and after glaring viciously, he hurriedly ran upstairs with four or five Jade Tiger Hall disciples, and did not deliberately find fault again.

Because Liu Xunyi had something important to do, he didn't dwell on it, but just turned his head and glanced at the backs of Lei Biao and the others in confusion, and then gently shook his head and walked downstairs.

"Little brother, where are you going so early?"

When Liu Xunyi was about to walk out of the inn, there was a sudden greasy and playful laughter on the side, but Ding San, who was drunk with Liu Xunyi last night, was sitting at a table in the corner with his feet crossed at the moment. On the table are two plates of side dishes, a few wotou and a pot of rice porridge. When Liu Xunyi came to follow the prestige, Ding San also beckoned to him quite familiarly.

"I was drunk last night, I thought my little brother would have to sleep until three o'clock in the morning today, but I didn't expect to get up so early. Ding San smiled, "You invited me to drink last night, and today I invite you to eat porridge, come and ......."

"Brother Ding's kindness is understood, but I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you!" Liu Xunyi didn't want to waste too much time on people like Ding San, so he wanted to leave after hurriedly giving it away.

"Little brother, how did you think about last night's incident?" Ding San smiled unhurriedly, "I can help you with that matter." Saying that, Ding San also squeezed his eyes at Liu Xunyi, with a cunning look.

Liu Xunyi's feet froze, and he said with a smile: "I already told you last night, I am not the person you are looking for, and I have no interest in what you say......"

"Huh!" Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to finish speaking, Ding San quickly shook Liu Xunyi twice with his hand holding bamboo chopsticks, and said, "Don't talk too much, there are still two days to go to the Jade Dragon Festival, you can think about it slowly, I have been at the Long'an Inn for the past two days, you can come to me at any time if you figure it out." Hey...... Little brother, I can hope that this deal can have a good year, and I hope you don't let me go home empty-handed. ”

"In that case, then you should find a reliable buyer, why bother looking for me?" Liu Xunyi smiled, "Isn't this looking for a monk to sell combs, sooner or later it will be an empty joy?"

"I don't open for three years, and I eat for three years. Ding San smiled, "I've been waiting for three years, let alone these two days? After that, Ding San no longer paid attention to Liu Xunyi, and bowed his head and ate it.

Liu Xunyi looked at Ding San suspiciously, hesitated for a moment and then quickly left the Long'an Inn.

At the same time, in a room on the second floor of the Long'an Inn, Lei Biao was expressing his intention to Su He, and Battle, Chagan, and Zhuoya sat on the side and were silent. Several Jade Tiger Hall disciples stood guard outside the door with serious expressions, not allowing anyone to approach.

"I have truthfully conveyed the meaning of the hall master, but I don't know what Brother Su wants?" Lei Biao looked at Su He with worried eyes.

"Huo Du is the territory of your Jade Dragon Palace, it seems that you don't need the help of outsiders like us, right?" Battle pursed his mouth and said, "Why don't you just take action to clean up this gang of thieves?"

Lei Biao was inevitably unhappy with the unauthorized intervention of the milky Bartel, but because of Su He and Chifengling's bad faces, he could only reply in a deep voice: "The so-called authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." The head of my family is now concerned and confused, worried that he will not think it through. ”

"So Hall Master Cao wants to ask Su to help him rescue Gongzi Cao?" Su He asked thoughtfully.

"Exactly. Lei Biao replied, "This help is completely out of the hall master's own will, and has nothing to do with the Jade Dragon Palace and the Chifeng Ridge faction. Brother Su is a hero in the world, and his chivalrous heart is well known to everyone in the world, and he asked Brother Su to help. No matter what grudge that gang of thieves had with the Jade Dragon Palace, after all, Gongzi was innocent. ”

"We don't seem to have any friendship with your Hall Master Cao, right?" Zhuoma rubbed a strand of green silk on his shoulder with his fingers, and smiled charmingly, "How do I feel that Hall Master Cao is asking us for help, it seems to be a little ...... What does it mean to kill someone with a knife?"

"That's right!" Cha Gan slowly echoed in a hoarse and old voice, "You don't even know what the other party is, how can we have the audacity to make an enmity with others?" ”

Although Lei Biao had expected their response, some of his words were too direct, which made people really uncomfortable to listen to.

Lei Biao forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and smiled at Su He: "Brother Su, walking in the rivers and lakes knows the truth that many friends have multiple roads, and the head of my family is now willing to make a friend like Brother Su, and naturally understands that friends should support each other." If Brother Su can rescue Gongzi Cao, this will be tantamount to a life-saving grace for the master of my family, and the master of Cao's temperament will be repaid for his kindness, and he will naturally never treat Brother Su as a friend who sent charcoal in the snow afterwards. ”

"It is normal for a father to care about his son's life and death, and those thieves have Cao Gongzi in their hands, so they expect that Cao Tang Master will not dare to act rashly. Now that the master of the Cao Hall is powerful but has nowhere to go, and he has to worry about whether he will startle the snake, it is a dilemma. Su He Zhengse said, "This matter is indeed inconvenient for Hall Master Cao and the people of the Jade Dragon Palace, and Hall Master Cao can think of asking Su for help in such a situation, and it is also a great trust in Zaixia." ”

"Exactly! Exactly!" Lei Biao couldn't help but look happy when he saw Su He loosen his mouth, and nodded again and again, "Only Brother Su can ensure that this matter is foolproof, and the hall master is ten thousand uneasy about other people, even including him!"

Su He smiled bitterly: "Master Cao thinks highly of Su, everyone is from the rivers and lakes, since the road is uneven, pull out a knife to help, although Su does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to save Cao Gongzi, but he must do his best." As for the result......"

"Brother Su's words are enough. Lei Biao hurriedly answered, "The so-called plan is in people, and success is in heaven." No one can predict what the result will be now, and Brother Su must not worry about it. If you can promise to help, it will be a great favor to my cousin. ”

"Brother Su, do you really plan to help Cao Qin save his son?" asked Battle in surprise.

"I already said it in the Jade Tiger Hall last night, but if the hall master Cao needs any help, just ask, I will never shirk, how can the eldest husband say nothing but not believe it?" Su He said, "If I reject the hall master Cao today, wouldn't I become a hypocrite who says one thing and does another?"

"But we still don't know where the other party came from?" Cha Gan retorted worriedly, "We act rashly, wouldn't it be ...... if we cause trouble to Chifeng Ridge?"

"You three don't have to meddle in this matter. Without waiting for Cha Gan to finish speaking, Su He had already interrupted bluntly, "Since this matter is a private matter of Hall Master Cao, then it is also my private matter that he asked me for help, and it has nothing to do with Chifengling and you, even if the other party is not good and really makes a big mess, then just let them come at me Su He, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." ”

When Lei Biao heard this, his admiration for Su He was even greater, and he immediately got up and bowed deeply to Su He, and said gratefully: "Brother Su Gaoyi, Lei Mou is here to thank you on behalf of the hall master and the son! The hall master said that as long as Brother Su is willing to agree to help, he will personally introduce you to the palace master afterwards." ”

"It's great, and it saves us a lot of work. Su He did not shirk Cao Qin's promise, and agreed heartily, picked up Lei Biao with his own hands, and asked, "According to what you just said, those two thieves are now living in the Longxiang Inn opposite?"

"Exactly. Lei Biao carefully reminded, "It's just that Childe's whereabouts are unknown now, so please Brother Su be careful, it is best to lure the snake out of the hole and find Childe's hiding place." so as not to startle the snake and force the group of thieves to do extreme things. ”

Su He nodded lightly and said, "Please go back and tell Hall Master Cao, Su will definitely go all out in this matter." ”

......

South of Huodu City, Fuhe Grain Village.

The grain farm here is similar to the rice shop in the Central Plains, with a shop in front and a warehouse in the back.

Liu Xunyi bypassed the façade of the grain village, and went straight to the backyard, there were more than a dozen bare board cars placed on the wall in turn, more than a month ago, Liu Xunyi followed them, but at that time, each car was stacked with tall grain barrels, but now it is empty, presumably it has been unloaded into the grain depot.

The two coolies who were sitting next to the car and resting saw Liu Xunyi and took the initiative to say hello, and Liu Xunyi also stepped forward quite enthusiastically.

"Where's Lao Xu?" asked Liu Xunyi after the greetings.

"Settle accounts in the cabinet!" replied a young coolie, "The big shopkeeper said that he would come to check the accounts this morning, and Lao Xu has not been idle since yesterday afternoon." Lao Xu plans to leave for home tomorrow, to say that our legs and feet haven't rested enough, and we have to grind out a few more bubbles on the way back. ”

"Xiao Liuzi, let's go back with us this time?" another older coolie asked with a smile, "Although I don't have to press the goods and have no wages when I go back, at least I will eat and drink all the way." Hey hey ......"

"You're in a hurry, I'll have to stay here for two more days. Liu Xunyi said casually, and his eyes looked at the rooms in front of him, trying to find Lao Xu's figure.

The young coolie teased: "You are so anxious to find Lao Xu, isn't it because he didn't pay you enough yesterday?"

"Oh! enough is enough, I want to ...... something else" Liu Xunyi didn't finish speaking, and saw that the tired old Xu was holding a stack of account books, slowly walking out of a room, planning to send it to the shop in the front yard.

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi hurriedly stepped forward, took the initiative to take the account book in Lao Xu's hand, and said with a smile, "Lao Xu, you have come all the way to Huodu, why don't you stay for a few more days?"

Lao Xu was stunned when he saw Liu Xunyi, and then looked up and down suspiciously, and Liu Xunyi, who looked directly at him with intriguing eyes, was uncomfortable, and said with a wry smile: "Lao Xu, you don't know me, do ......you?"

"Ahem, little willow. Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to speak, Lao Xu suddenly coughed lightly twice, and said in a strange tone, "You really still came." ”
