Chapter 19: The Secret of Zhao's Shopkeeper

Xiao Lie's face was cut by the crossbow arrow, and the blood immediately flowed down, and just like that, Xiao Lie broke out in a cold sweat. It was pitch black below, and he couldn't see anything, and he didn't see where the bolt came from, and he didn't see if there was anyone inside. For not being able to see things, Xiao Lie is most afraid, and not being able to see anything makes him feel very bottomless.

If it weren't for such an agreement with Shopkeeper Zhao, he would have run away a long time ago. For safety, Xiao Lie took out a fire fold from his arms and threw it into the house. With the faint light of the fire, Xiao Lie looked at the environment inside, in fact, it was a very ordinary pharmacy, except for the herbs that were green plants, and after looking around, finally on the beam, Xiao Lie saw the origin of this crossbow arrow. This crossbow arrow turned out to be an anti-theft facility set up by the pharmacy to prevent thieves from stealing property at night, and it was also because of Xiao Lie's carelessness that he accidentally touched the most critical filament of the trigger mechanism. Looking down the beam, he found that there were really a lot of such small devices, and Xiao Lie broke out in a cold sweat on his back, if he had jumped down just now, I am afraid that he would have been shot into a hedgehog by now. Xiao Lie used a small pebble to destroy all the crossbow arrows, threw out a fire fold to make the light in the house brighter, and carefully looked at the surroundings and the roof part, and after confirming that there was no more mechanism, he wiped the blood on his face and jumped into the house.

According to what Shopkeeper Zhao said, he turned the counter of the pharmacy upside down, and did not find Bai Yuhu, and after rummaging through all the medicine boxes, he still did not find Bai Yuhu. Xiao Lie looked at everything in front of him and began to ponder: "Fuck, where can this thing be placed? Alas, no, how can such an important thing be placed in the pharmacy with such fanfare, this kind of thing should be placed in the most secret place in the house." Xiao Lie suddenly realized: "I'm in the hands of this old bastard, this old bastard has a lot of eyes, but I'm here, I have to bring him something back, so as not to make him laugh at me too much." After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to take a ginseng with excellent quality, and look at the others to see the mistake, and Xiao Lie can be regarded as the most famous master in the world.

Carrying the ginseng into his arms, he returned the places in the house that were messed up by him, jumped on the beam of the house and hung up the broken crossbow arrows from the new mechanism, rushed out of the roof, and filled the big hole above, just as he was about to put the tiles away, the voices of two people spoke from under the house: "The treasure building of Cui Mansion is finally completed, this time is really exhausting us, and the time required by Cui Ye is too tight." ”

Another person was also full of complaints: "Who said it wasn't, it would have taken half a year to complete, but he had to complete it in three months, isn't this a duck on the shelf." It's a shame to find two stupid hillbillies in a foreign country, and they don't work in the dark or during the day, so it's a bad deal. ”

"It's a blessing for our buddies to be able to complete it, if we don't finish it according to Cui Ye's time, our buddies won't necessarily end up. ”

"Big brother, what do you say is in this treasure building?"

"In fact, it is a warehouse, and the rare treasures collected from all over the world will eventually be given to those big officials in the imperial court. Didn't Cui Ye personally find a more reliable dart game to do this this time. ”

"Can't they send their own people? Why do so many people have to look for a dart game?"

"It's also for secrecy, if you use someone from Cui Mansion, if someone else sees it and stabs it to the Lord of Long Live, it will be troublesome. Disguise it with a dart game, at least it's not so conspicuous. ”

Xiao Lie finally understood that this thing that had to be transported away from the capital city turned out to be the property that Cui Sanshi used to bribe. The two of them walked away slowly, Xiao Lie couldn't hear it when he wanted to hear it, there was no one in the big night, and it was impossible to follow them. Reluctantly, after arranging the last few tiles, I went back to the inn.

Seeing that Xiao Lie was back, with a color on his face, Qiu Feixu hesitated for a moment and didn't stand up: "You were discovered?" and then said this.

"It's impossible to be discovered, there is a hidden weapon in this pharmacy, thanks to my good skills, otherwise I would have to die inside. He casually took the ginseng out of it and threw it on the table: "I brought what you wanted." You're going to have to give us an explanation this time, why are you arresting us?"

The people in the room laughed when they saw the ginseng thrown on the table, and Zhao Haiquan picked up the ginseng and looked at it: "Good ginseng, good ginseng." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, talk about it. ”

Put down the ginseng Zhao Haiquan added a cup of tea to the three of them: "This time I am down-to-earth, don't blame me for treating you like this, I also have something unspeakable." ”

Xiao Lie drank a cup of tea in one gulp: "Okay, don't fix this void, pick up the dry nag." ”

Zhao Haiquan smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that you are really here to help my senior brother take revenge." ”

"It's not revenge, we're here to save people, didn't we tell you just now. Bai Zhihe corrected his words: "You can tell me why you arrested us first." ”

Zhao Haiquan sat opposite the three of them and talked about his own affairs and the secrets of this inn: "I grew up in the Lingyun Dart Bureau since I was a child, and I learned a lot of skills in the Dart Bureau, at that time we had a total of four senior brothers, I was the second in line, and Zongshitang was our senior brother. I have been studying art under the master for more than ten years, and we also help to do simple work. Later, when Master was too old to walk, he let us take full responsibility. At that time, I was also young and vigorous, and there was a dart trip that I shouldn't have taken the dry road, so I wanted to go. The brothers and sisters also persuaded me, but at that time, I didn't know where the evil energy came from, and I couldn't listen to anyone's words, so I had to take the dry road, and there was no way for the brothers and sisters to follow me. As a result, a group of bandits intercepted it, and later, the dart car was also lost, and all three of my junior brothers were killed, and I also lost a leg because of it. Speaking of this, Zhao Haiquan lifted his coat to reveal a metallic prosthetic leg. The three of them were shocked to watch.

He put down his coat and said, "After returning to the dart game, the master found out and kicked me out of the game. After healing my wounds, he let me go, and the last thing he gave me before he left was this iron leg. The master still feels sorry for me, but I can't take back what I say, otherwise the other dart masters under my hands should not be convinced, and what the dart game is most afraid of is that the guys under my hands will not obey. Just when I was desperate, Senior Brother Zong Shitang gave me a letter asking me to come to one of his relatives' house in the capital city. After I came, it was this inn, and I started working as a young man, and when I was older, the old shopkeeper gave me his daughter, and I settled here. A few days ago, a young man went to Syracuse to purchase goods, and when he heard about the Lingyun Dart Bureau, he immediately told me about it with thirteen contact butterflies. In addition to being sad, I found a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes and came to my inn to discuss how to take revenge. You see that I am a crowded person, but in fact, they are all people from the rivers and lakes who are looking for help. After all, my inn is too close to Cui's mansion, for fear of going out of the way, that's why I will make it so difficult for you. ”

Bai Zhihe grabbed Zhao Haiquan and asked him to sit on the chair: "Don't don't, we can understand your mood, but you don't listen to our explanation, this is really a bit unreasonable." ”

"What I did was indeed a bit inappropriate, please understand, after all, the people in Cui Mansion are all thieves of chickens and dogs. ”

"Even if this matter is over, you said just now that you all lived here and you came to help, what are you going to do about this?" Xiao Lie eased up a little.

"We have to cooperate with the outside and control the rats of the prefect's yamen and Cui's mansion in the city, and we can solve Cui Sanshi's gang outside the city, so that everything will be fine if there is no way to send reinforcements in the city. ”

"How can you guys block the reinforcements in the city?" Xiao Lie wondered.

"Don't you know that there is a bamboo forest eighty miles away from the capital of Xudu, and there is a group of heroes there. The leader is called Luo Wancheng, and he also came to Cui Sanshi for revenge, we took over, and the last thing we discussed was that I was responsible for the reinforcements in the city, and he was responsible for intercepting Cui Sanshi there. As long as he drags Cui Sanshi and waits for us to solve all the reinforcements in the city, we can go all out to encircle and suppress Cui Sanshi. Zhao Haiquan said indignantly.

"This Cui Sanshi is really angry. Xiao Lie suddenly made a suggestion: "I think we can do this, the purpose of our three waves of people is the same, it is better to join forces, not only the combat effectiveness has increased, but the efficiency of this work can also be much faster, and I also have a plan, which can not only destroy Cui Sanshi, but also bring the traitors of the Pear Flower Sect to justice." ”

"Okay, I think we'll settle this matter. I'll introduce you to them early tomorrow morning, and then I'm waiting for Luo Wancheng's news, as long as Cui Sanshi comes back, let's start working. ”

Xiao Lie looked at Qiu Feisu, and made Qiu Feixu's face red, and seeing her blushing, Xiao Lie turned his head and said to Zhao Haiquan: "Before he comes back, we can get rid of Yanyang Shu first." ”

After saying this, Qiu Feixu and Bai Zhihe looked at Xiao Lie in unison, and Zhao Haiquan on the opposite side immediately objected: "No, if you move the people of Cui Mansion now, won't it be exposed in advance, this must not be." ”

Xiao Lie smiled maliciously: "Shopkeeper Zhao, I have a clever plan to get rid of the rebels of the Pear Flower Sect without knowing it." Solve one by one first, so as not to mess around and leak any root cause of the disease. ”

"Then tell me about your plan. ”
