Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon Chapter 11 The Lion Opens His Mouth
Early the next morning, Qin Yu found Zhao Jian and mentioned the assassination last night.
Zhao Jian was also taken aback when he heard this, and said with concern: "Brother Qin, are you okay?"
Qin Yu shook his head and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, but I haven't understood after thinking about it all night, who wants to kill me!"
"This matter must have nothing to do with the Bai family!"
"The Bai family?"
Qin Yu frowned when he heard this. He has only been in Luoyang City for a month, not to mention offending people, he even knows very few people, how can he offend the Bai family for no reason.
Seeing his hesitation, Zhao Jian sighed and said, "Speaking of which, it's that I picked up the Star Pavilion and caused Brother Qin." Brother Qin, did you remember Zhang and the others?"
It was precisely because of the sudden departure of Zhang and the others that Qin Yu had the opportunity to stand out in the Star Picking Pavilion. For this person, it is naturally impressive.
"It's not a secret, Zhang and the others are just chess pieces in the game, and the Bai family is the culprit behind the scenes. The Bai family has been planning for several years in order to annex the Star Picking Pavilion, and seeing that the Star Picking Pavilion is about to become something in their pocket, but it has fallen short due to the appearance of Brother Qin, it is normal for them to do such a retaliatory act. Not to mention ......"
Zhao Jian glanced up at Qin Yu and saw that his expression was as usual, and continued: "Bai Yanhua, the eldest prince of the Bai family, has the best technique of deriving Yanwen in the Northern Abyss, and many sect powers will ask him to deduce after collecting ancient Yanwen books. What are the benefits of it, Brother Qin should be clear. ”
Hearing this, Qin Yu nodded thoughtfully, and said secretly: "In this way, this Bai Yanhua can not only use the opportunity of deduction to practice various advanced Dao methods, but also make friends with the power of the Quartet. The benefits are enormous. ”
"Presumably, Bai Yanhua saw that Brother Qin easily resolved the crisis of the Star Picking Pavilion, and was afraid of your attainments in Yanwen deduction, so he chose to kill him. ”
"Just like that, you're going to kill me?"
Zhao Jian saw that Qin Yu still didn't believe it, sighed secretly, and said: "Brother Qin has been cultivating in the mountains for a long time, and he doesn't know that people's hearts are more sinister than poisonous scorpions. Bai Yanhua is not only good at deriving texts, but also very talented in cultivation, and has already realized the Heavenly Thunder Dao a few years ago, and is known as the first talent in our sect. This person seems to be gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact he is ruthless and regards human life like a mustard. Characters like you and me are just ants in his eyes, and they will be killed if they are killed, not to mention that Brother Qin is still a threat to him. ”
Zhao Jian saw that Qin Yu was silent, and thought that he was worried about Bai Yanhua's threat, so he said with relief: "Brother Qin, you can rest assured, as long as you are in the Star Picking Pavilion, his Bai family will not dare to touch you." ”
Qin Yu was about to nod yes, but he suddenly reacted and said with a wry smile: "What about yesterday?"
Zhao Jian's expression also changed when he heard this, and said, "I didn't expect this person to be so rampant." Brother Qin rest assured, I will go to the Pavilion Master and let her strengthen the garrison in the Pavilion. ”
After speaking, Zhao Jian turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Qin Yu again, and asked quietly: "Brother Zhao, I don't know what the relationship between the Zhao family and the Bai family is?"
The Zhao family saw the light flashing in Qin Yu's eyes, and knew what he was thinking, so he also whispered back: "Qin Gongzi don't worry, my Zhao family and the Bai family are on the same page, the Bai family wants to annex and liquidate my Zhao family, and my Zhao family is also eager to get rid of it as soon as possible." If it weren't for the fight against the Bai family, why would my ancestor go around looking for a pillar for the Zhao family!"
Qin Yu's heart suddenly settled when he heard this, nodded his head, and said, "In this way, Qin will rest assured!" After speaking, he let Zhao Jian leave. Qin Yu returned to the side compartment on the third floor. Li Qin and Zhao Xiaoli couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw him with a serious expression.
"You go back and rest for a day!"
Seeing that his expression was not good, the two did not dare to ask more, so they bowed and withdrew. When he was the only one left in the side room, Qin Yu sighed, took out the token of the Shadow Killing Hall and was about to inject the true yuan, when he suddenly frowned, and said secretly: "This person is the son of the Bai family, and the Bai family has the support of the Bai family behind him. He can kill me without any scruples, but because I have no one behind me, I will die if I die. If I hire someone to kill him, I will first say whether I can succeed, and when the time comes, I will anger the Bai family, but there will be no one to protect me, even if I can escape to death, I can only die in the world. I am determined to live forever, but how can I cut off my future because of this person? ”
He thought for a while, suddenly smiled, and laughed at himself: "When I was in Qingyuan Guan, the elders in the view made it difficult for me, and I never flinched. Now that I have the true meaning of Yanwen and have realized the Hongmeng Dao, even if God wants to stop me, I will also be cut with a sword. How can it be because of a white family, it will be messed up. Since the Zhao family and the Bai family are opponents of each other, I should rely on the Zhao family to counter the Bai family, so that I can seek a chance. ”
Thinking of this, Qin Yu dragged out the wooden box in the corner and counted it, and found that he had earned more than 4,000 top-grade spirit beads last month, and there were only about 3,000 left.
"The Bai family has already murderous intentions towards me, but now I have no ability to protect myself, and I can only rely on the protection of the Shadow Killing Hall to ensure my safety. Before, I thought that hiring Qiu Mei'er would be enough to suppress the alchemy old man, but now he has to guard against the Bai family, so he has to hire another person. It's just that in this way, it will cost two hundred top-grade spirit beads to go out. Although I earn a lot, I don't have enough to spend, it seems that I have to get the protection of the Zhao family as soon as possible!"
Qin Yu thought about it in his heart, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he was ready to meditate and practice. He took out the Kun Yuan Dan he had bought from Jingyuan Hall, and as soon as he pulled out the cork, a pungent sulfur gas came to his face. Qin Yu pinched his nose and swallowed one, and then began to absorb and polish the aura in it.
It only took Qin Yu half an hour to absorb the aura in Kun Yuan Dan, but it took two full hours to refine the erysipelas in it. By the time he finished his work, it was already noon outside the window. Someone came to knock on the door, saying that the cabinet master had invited him to go up to the fifth floor for discussion.
Qin Yu walked out of the side compartment and came to the fifth floor, where he saw a heroic woman in red sitting in the position of the pavilion master. Zhao Jian was sitting on the woman's left hand, and another seventeen-year-old boy in a green shirt was sitting on the other side.
"Is this the pavilion master of the Star Picking Pavilion, he is really heroic, not like an ordinary woman!"
Qin Yu quietly glanced at Zhao Hongxiang, then bowed and said, "Under Qin Yu, I have seen the pavilion master!"
Zhao Hongxiang smiled mildly and said, "Steward Qin, sit down!"
After Qin Yu sat down, Zhao Hongxiang spoke: "Steward Qin, this is the seventh son of the Bai family, and this time I came here because some ancient Yanwen books want to entrust us to pick up the Star Pavilion for deduction." You're in charge, and you still need to decide the price. ”
Hearing this, Qin Yu glanced deeply at the young man opposite, and when he saw where he was sitting with a smug face, he couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Qin has to look at the real thing before he can set the price." ”
Zhao Jian next to him saw that his expression was calm, and he was also secretly relieved, and took advantage of the gap between the other party's things to lean over and whispered: "If we can't complete the commission, we need to return the honorarium according to ten times the honorarium for Star Picking." Later, if Brother Qin finds it difficult to deduce, he will mark the price at a low point. ”
Qin Yu's expression turned grim when he heard this, and he asked in a low voice, "How much was the price in the past?"
"Ten top-grade spirit beads in one article. ”
Qin Yu nodded after hearing this, and said secretly: "I earned four thousand top-grade spirit beads last month, and the compensation amount is forty thousand." ”
After Qin Yu finished calculating, he already had a plan in his heart.
After a while, all the ancient books were carried up in a wooden box. This time, the ancient books are obviously much more precious than the previous ones, and most of them are carved with jade slips, with a total of about 100 pieces.
Qin Yu picked up the jade slip and examined it, and saw that although the Yanwen in it was mysterious, he couldn't help himself, and his heart was already settled.
"The Bai family wants to kill me, although I can't retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, but I also need to let you wait for a loss and let out your sulk. ”
Thinking like this, Qin Yu already had a plan in his heart, threw the jade slip in his hand into the box, and said, "These ancient books are mysterious and abnormal, and each one needs two hundred top-grade spirit beads. ”
"Two hundred pieces a piece?"
Qin Yu's voice landed, and the three people present were shocked. Zhao Hongxiang and Zhao Jian thought of more than 200,000 yuan in compensation, but the seventh son of the Bai family thought that he would pay more than 20,000 yuan first. This is the best spirit bead, and it is not a cabbage in the field!
The seventh son of the Bai family's face changed, and he couldn't help but shout: "It's so expensive!"
Qin Yu nodded when he heard this, and said, "If the Bai family can't afford it, they can ask for another master." ”
Seeing Qin Yu talking like this, Zhao Hongxiang nodded subconsciously, and said secretly: "Yes, instead of opening a low price to reduce losses, it is better for the lion to open his mouth and scare off the other party, which not only saves losses, but also does not damage my reputation as a star pavilion." This man has a sharp mind. ”
Thinking so, she glanced at Qin Yu deeply, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this person was quite suitable for her appetite.
Zhao Jian had another idea in his heart, and said secretly: "The old ancestor is worthy of being the old ancestor, and after only seeing one time, he decided that this person is the dragon and phoenix among people." This person is not only appreciated by his ancestors, but also has such a scheming, and the fact that he was introduced as a pillar by the Zhao family is already nine out of ten, and I still have to be good at him. ”
When the seventh son of the Zhao family saw Qin Yu looking at him with a sneering face, his teeth suddenly itched with anger, and he said secretly: "This fool is just 20,000 top-grade spirit beads, can't I really take it out from my Bai family! What if this son gives you 20,000 at this time, if you can't complete the commission at that time, you can't return it to this son." ”
He believed that his elder brother was the first person to be deduced by Beiyuan Yanwen, so he never thought that the Star Picking Pavilion would have the possibility of completing this commission, so he turned his heart on the spot and said coldly: "I have to set a deadline!"
Seeing that he had already taken the bait, Qin Yu nodded and said, "Old rules, one month!"
"Good!"
Seeing that the other party had already taken the bait, the seventh son of the Zhao family couldn't help but snort coldly, "Bai Mou will go back and get the spirit bead, and I hope that the Star Pavilion will not regret it!" After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Hongxiang and Zhao Jian to react, he went downstairs without looking back.
Zhao Jian swallowed his saliva, and said with a sad face: "Brother Qin, how is this good?"
Seeing him like this, Qin Yu smiled heartily, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zhao don't have to worry too much, just see how Qin Mou gives you these 20,000 top-grade spirit beads in your pocket." ”
Although Zhao Hongxiang knew that Qin Yu had already comprehended the true meaning of Yanwen, she didn't understand the key after all, so she was so worried before. At this time, seeing Qin Yu calmly laughing with Zhao Jian, he suddenly felt a lot more steady, so he asked casually, "Are you really sure?"
Qin Yu nodded when he heard this, and said, "Qin is completely sure, the pavilion master doesn't have to worry." ”
As he spoke, he thought about making money again, and continued to ask, "Qin recently wanted to refine a new medicine, but I don't know if I can sell it in the pavilion." ”
Zhao Hongxiang also relaxed at this time, and said, "Zhao Jian is responsible for all the pills in the pavilion, and you can discuss it with him yourself." ”
Zhao Jian immediately patted his chest when he heard this, and said, "This matter is on Zhao, Brother Qin can rest assured!" After speaking, he laughed. It's just that in that smile, no matter how you look at it, there is a bit of flattery.
Seeing that he was so attentive, Zhao Hongxiang's eyes flashed, and he said, "Qin Guan, go down in advance, I still have something to discuss with Zhao Guan." ”
Qin Yu only said that the two of them had other things, but he didn't think much about it, arched his hand, and retreated.
As soon as Qin Yu left, Zhao Hongxiang's face turned cold, and he said coldly: "Zhao Jian, you have something to hide from me!"
Zhao Jian glared in his heart when he heard this, but his face was impassive, and he sneered: "Where is the young lady." Even if you borrow a small ten guts, you don't dare to deceive you, Miss. ”
"Oh?"
Zhao Hongxiang raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Then why are you so attentive to Steward Qin?"
Zhao Jian also raised her eyebrows, "Yes?"
He still wanted to pretend again, but when he saw that Zhao Hong's face was already covered with frost, he couldn't help but look bitter, and begged: "The little one tells you, don't tell anyone else." ”
