Chapter 23: The Black Jade Token
Compared to the southwest, the eastern part of the city is a relatively backward land, but there are many large and small forces here, and even the Black and Mongolian Assassins have set up a stronghold here.
Da'an Street is a street in the east of the city, with brightly lit shops on both sides, and these shops are ostensibly open for business, but they are all operating under the control of various forces.
Mu Xiao followed the black dragon and walked into a shop selling fabrics. As soon as the three of them walked in, the fabric shop guy immediately became vigilant, and retreated inside as if facing a great enemy.
"Tell your boss to come down. β
The black dragon brushed away the long hair that hung down at the corners of his eyes, pulled away the stool next to him and sat down, and cocked Erlang's legs. Without waiting for the guy to report, at the narrow staircase behind the shop, a fat middle-aged man walked down slowly. When I saw someone coming, I panicked all of a sudden.
"Black Chief, why are you here?" The fat man said as he motioned for the guy to close the door, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his big hands.
"Han Tang, I just came to get two jars of wine, why are you so panicked?" the black dragon was still sitting on the stool, looking at the fat man with a pale face.
"Black Chief, don't you know? Something happened to Heimeng, and now all the strongholds in the eastern part of the city have received orders. β
"What order?" The black dragon suddenly got up, fell to the ground with a bang, kicked the stool away and walked to Han Tang: "Say, is it the other way around Lu'an?"
As expected, Han Tang nodded lightly, originally the order he received was to kill or report the black dragon when he saw it. But when I really saw the black dragon, my heart was very empty.
"Then why don't you kill me?" the black dragon leaned close to his ear and asked coldly.
Han Tang trembled, and suddenly knelt on the ground: "Black leader, I don't dare, and I don't want to, Lu'an's thing is the leader, and sooner or later the black will be destroyed in his hands." Han Tang is willing to follow the black leader, and his original intention is unswerving. β
"That's good. The black dragon turned to pull Mu Xiao aside and whispered, "Brother Mu, I will hand you the Black Meng Assassin Token today, if anything happens to me, please help me take care of Fluttershy." β
"Brother Black Dragon, what do you want to do?" Mu Xiao looked at the black jade plate that was stuffed into his hand by the black dragon, and suddenly became complicated. After knowing each other for less than a day, the black dragon trusted himself so much.
The black dragon seemed to see Mu Xiao's thoughts, and said seriously: "A few days ago, I checked you all over and felt that you were reliable, so no matter what the outcome of this crisis is, the Black Meng Assassin will be handed over to you." I'm tired, Fluttershy is all I have, and I can't let her worry about me all day. β
"With this jade pendant alone, let me recapture Heimeng, are you kidding?" Mu Xiao wants to take over Heimeng, and now Heimeng is in the hands of Lu'an, although there is no leader jade medal, but there are also many people who follow, and it is not so easy to recapture.
"If you are not loyal to this piece of black jade, you will not be a member of Heimeng, what do you say?" the black dragon looked at Mu Xiao with murderous eyes. Turned around and walked to Han Tang and said solemnly; Han Tang, you are also one of the earliest members of the Black Meng, would you like to follow the new leader as you follow me?"
"Han Tang is willing to follow Leader Mu, the token is a symbol of black Meng, and Han Tang does not dare to disobey. Han Tang looked at the black jade token in Mu Xiao's hand, and his eyes revealed a light of awe.
"Okay, Mu Xiao will rely on Mr. Han more in the future" Mu Xiao patted Han Tang's arm and smiled.
Tuk Tuk ..... At this moment, a knock came from outside, and everyone's expressions tightened. Han Tang motioned for the three of them to hide behind the cloth and told the guy to open the door. A bloodied man poured in next to the door.
"Tao Jiang?"
"Han Tang, something happened to Heimeng, save me!" Tao Jiang fainted on the ground after a simple sentence.
Seeing this, the black dragon rushed out and held Tao Jiang in his arms to check his pulse, but he just fainted before he put his mind at ease. Carrying Tao Jiang up to the attic, he put it on the floor and said to Luo Xiaodie, who was following behind, "Fluttershy, let's see what to do, can you save it?"
Fluttershy is a doctor, and only she can do anything about it.
"Mr. Han, you go get some thin cloth and towels, and some spirits, and clean his wounds first. After Luo Xiaodie arranged for Han Tang, she said to Heilong: "I still need some medicinal powder, but I'm afraid there are Lu'an's eyeliner everywhere outside." β
"If you write a list, I'll grab the medicine, there is a pharmacy on Da'an Street, but it's also a black pharmacy, so I don't know if it's been reversed. The black dragon said worriedly.
Mu Xiao on the side opened the cloth bag that Old Man Zhai gave him at the beginning, there were really a lot of bottles and cans in it, and he didn't bother to look for it, and put the whole bag in front of Luo Xiaodie.
"Sister, you see that these are all given to me by an old miracle doctor, see if there is anything that can be used. β
"Sure enough, it's a miracle doctor, these medicines are all rare powders and pills. Luo Xiaodie looked at the labels on the bottles and cans in shock, and opened a few bottles to smell them.
She picked up a thumb-sized jar with the words (Wan Lingsan) and looked at Mu Xiao to stop talking, and then stuffed the lid back.
"What's the matter, girl, can't you use it?" Mu Xiao asked suspiciously.
Luo Xiaodie looked at the small jar and said, "No, it's just that this medicine should be the best one in your bag, but it's also worth a lot of money." β
Wan Lingsan, she has seen an introduction in the book, this medicine was originally refined by a imperial doctor in the Qingyang Emperor Palace, and it has the effect of quickly healing injuries and saving lives, and it is the same alchemist as the plum blossom paste of the bearded bones. Gathering twenty-three herbs to refine, and it needs to be boiled cautiously, and the slightest carelessness will fall short, these herbs are all things that can not be found. It is very rare to be able to refine this small jar in front of you.
"Brother Xiao, you may not know how powerful this medicine is, as long as one pill goes down, he will be alive tomorrow" Luo Xiaodie took out a white porcelain bottle from the cloth bag.
There was no logo on this porcelain vase, only a blooming plum blossom pattern, Luo Xiaodie put the bottle in front of Mu Xiao and said, "Look at this, it should be one of the only two bottles of plum blossom cream left in the empire today." β
"Then use this" Mu Xiao didn't think about it, the medicine that saved people must be the best.
A few people next to him listened to Luo Xiaodie's words, and also felt that these medicines were so precious, so didn't Mu Xiao have a lot of treasures on him? Especially the guy on the side, showing a strange expression that was not easy to detect.
"No, the plum blossom cream is a miracle medicine for comminuted fractures, and it only has the effect of repairing broken bones and reducing them. Fluttershy put the bone plum cream back.
"Oh, then you can use it, as long as you can cure him, don't be afraid of waste. "Mu Xiao doesn't care so much, anyway, these medicines are carried on his body, and it is better to save people.
When Murlo Fluttershy heard this, she thought to herself, this old brother is really willing, if this small jar of Wan Ling San is sold, he can replace the fabric shop in Hantang.
"Well, you should be able to wake up in a while, the wound may not heal until it gets dark tomorrow. Luo Xiaodie said after feeding Tao Jiang Wan Lingsan.
The remaining four people had different expressions, and it was unlikely that the wound would heal in a day.
"Fluttershy, is that amazing?" said the Black Dragon, half-convinced.
Luo Xiaodie whispered: "Wouldn't it be a waste to eat a medicine worth the same value as a Hantang cloth store?"
Knock! The people next to him looked at Mu Xiao dumbfounded, and Han Tang sat on the ground with his ass, thinking that a small pill could reach a fabric store for himself, and his own fabric store was not a small faΓ§ade on Da'an Street, okay! But it wasn't worth a pill?
"Sister Fluttershy, if it's really so magical, I don't want this fabric shop in Hantang, and I will sell medicine instead" Hantang is hit hard, Mu Xiao's medicine is worth more than his own shop, so wouldn't he be rich with so many medicines?
"Mr. Han is really good at laughing, these medicines are so easy to refine. I think you might as well find some tailors and sell the fabric directly into clothes. Fluttershy replied half-jokingly. It's just that the speaker has no intention, and the listener has intention. Han Tang sat on the top and let out a smile unique to wealth fans.
A few people temporarily settled down in the Hantang shop, and they didn't want to go out and wander around at night when the lights were dark, and they waited for Tao Jiang to wake up and ask what was going on before making plans.
At the same moment, the ten thousand commercial banks in the west of the city were deep in the mansion. Wan Shaohong sat in the hall, flanked by Markham and a wizened old man.
Markham sat opposite and looked at Wan Shaohong: "Father, what do you think of Heimeng's change?"
It seems that the Heimeng incident has spread among the major families and forces, but everyone is watching the excitement, Wan Shaohong is no exception, he is reluctant to interfere, but the Heimeng forces are all over the east of the city, if Lu'an is too ambitious, and he is unwilling to cooperate in the west of the city. If one day it returns to the gate of the Nangong courtyard, it will be a serious imbalance, and even the ten thousand families will step into the abyss.
"Butler Gu, tell me what you think. Wan Shaohong looked at the thin old man in front of him and asked expectantly.
Steward Gu sighed slightly: "The change in Heimeng may not be as serious as we thought, presumably the black dragon will make a move soon." The ancient steward continued thoughtfully: "At ten minutes of the night, the black dragon and Mu Xiao appeared in the suburbs together and killed Qiu Baihao, the left protector of the Heavenly Dao Society, I'm afraid what we're worried about now is not Lu'an." β
When the father and son of the Wan family heard this, they were both shocked. Although Lu'an seized the leader of Heimeng, he didn't know if the rumored black jade token with appeal was in his hands, even if there was a black jade token, it would not be difficult for the black dragon to kill Lu'an, so the black dragon had a great chance of returning to Heimeng.
The question is how could Hei Long and Mu Xiao get together? and they also killed the Heavenly Dao Society Protector together in the suburbs, presumably the Heavenly Dao would not let the two of them go. The Heavenly Dao Society has been occupying the eastern part of the city together for many years, and if it is possible to take this opportunity to get rid of the Black Meng, after all, the Black Meng forces and the Heavenly Dao Society are not on the same line.
"We must not let the Heavenly Dao Society completely control the east of the city, and the ancient steward will arrange people to secretly protect Mu Xiao and the black dragon. Wan Shaohong put his hands on the chair and Huo Ran decided.
"The big master, Mu Xiao is a martial arts and swordsmanship, presumably there will be extraordinary achievements in the future, the old slave feels that it is not necessarily a bad thing for the young master to be good friends with him. Butler Gu smiled with a smile.
Although Wan Shaohong said that he was unwilling to strike first in the east of the city, since it was mixed now, let's fish in secret.
"Steward Gu, we seem to have forgotten a place" Wan Shaohong suddenly showed a faint smile.
"Wandering Clan" Markham suddenly looked up at Wan Shaohong, and the father and son smiled.
