After returning to Yuexian Inn, Lin Quan felt a little depressed. I secretly murmured in my heart: This Mrs. Wu has come sooner or later. I am about to get the treasure, so she might as well come here to grab the credit!
The more Lin Quan thought about it, the more unhappy he became, so he called the waiter and ordered a pot of shochu and a few plates of soy sauce and side dishes, and drank in the room.
After drinking for a while, I suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door. I couldn't help but think to myself: It's so late, who could it be?
Lin Quan stood up and opened the door in confusion. Outside the door was a young man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat. His body was still dripping with water, as if he had just arrived in the heavy rain.
"Come in!" Lin Quan looked at the young man carefully and recognized him as Palace Master Hong who had followed Ye Youwu Chang, a young man with great potential. Lin Quan had a good impression of him and invited him into the house to sit down and drink and eat together.
Palace Master Hong gave him a brief salute, sat down magnanimously, refilled Lin Quan's glass of wine, and poured himself a glass, and then whispered: "Mrs. Wu made a mistake, the leader asked me to come to you... I want you to be careful. One thing, don’t fall into the trap of those people from Weiyuan Escort Bureau..."
Lin Quan smiled nonchalantly and asked, "Then Mrs. Wu is not a good person, why did she miss it?"
"Oh, maybe I underestimated the enemy... She is famous for her good use of poisons and she was poisoned this time..." Palace Master Hong said with some gloating.
Lin Quan became more and more excited as he listened, and continued to ask: "What? She was poisoned? The sun is rising in the west... This is a rare thing..." Lin Quan was secretly proud and cursed: Look at you! You stinky bitches, you overestimate your capabilities and take credit from me. This time you steal the chicken but lose the rice, you deserve it!
However, after thinking about it, he still couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but ask again: "Has she been poisoned and caught?"
Palace Master Hong shook his head and said: "That's not true. She was just careless and touched the outer box that the other party had applied the drug on in advance... Fortunately, she carried a lot of antidotes with her all year round and sealed the acupuncture points in time. Escaped..."
"Oh, that's it." Lin Quan nodded thoughtfully. Then he looked at Palace Master Hong expectantly, waiting for him to continue.
Seeing that he still wanted to hear it, Palace Master Hong continued the gossip: "Due to the continuous thefts, Weiyuan Escort Bureau has also strengthened its defense. I heard that they borrowed hundreds of elite soldiers from General Fan... It will be more troublesome for us to attack again... …”
When Lin Quan heard this, his expression gradually became serious. He silently calculated in his heart: If he goes to steal the treasure now, he will have to face not only the masters of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau, but also the elites of the imperial court... Although the combat power of those soldiers is not necessarily very strong, there is no guarantee that they will get it. What other magic weapons are there? No matter how high my martial arts skills are, I can't withstand the siege of a bunch of magic weapons...
Just when Lin Quan was deep in thought, Palace Master Hong raised his glass to toast him again. Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, then he returned the toast and drank it all in one gulp.
The two ate a few more bites of side dishes and chatted for a while, then Hall Master Hong hurriedly said goodbye and left. Lin Quan also took off his coat and prepared to go to bed.
There were several wails of night birds outside the inn. Lin Quan suddenly lost all sleepiness. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the mosquito net above his head, recalling the words that the leader of the Yeyou Alliance told him, and his expression became a little more ferocious.
It's like a tiger falling on the plain and being bullied by a dog! I think back to when I was in glory, the previous leader of Ye You Alliance had to respect me a bit...but now he still has to be humble and act based on other people's faces, calling it cooperation, this is clearly coercion!
Lin Quan complained silently in his heart for a while, and finally fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, he didn't go downstairs and asked the waiter to deliver the food and wine to the room. After taking a few bites, he put on a fortune teller's outfit and sneaked out.
Yunfu Street. A fortune-telling stall appeared at the door of Shen Erniang's wine shop. After waiting for a long time, there was no one there.
Seeing that the fortune teller was not in a hurry, Shen Erniang joked with the waiter: "This old gentleman has a very good attitude. He has been basking in the sun for most of the day and has not seen any customers. He can hold his nerve..."
The waiter responded: "No... I dare say this old gentleman is probably a god descended to earth. He doesn't worry about food and clothing... If it were me, I would have shouted at him a long time ago. How can I be in the mood to sit like this..."
Shen Erniang chatted with the waiter for a while, and when she saw a customer coming in, she went to greet the customer. No one noticed that Lin Quan, the fortune teller pretending to be a fortune teller, was casting a sinister look at a customer with gray hair and beard sitting in the shop.
The guest brought only one servant. Standing next to him now. The two of them were chatting and laughing in low voices, not noticing the malice nearby.
"Sir, I see that your fortune teller is dark, and I'm afraid something may happen to you... Do you want a fortune teller? I only need fifteen cents..." Lin Quan, pretending to be a fortune teller, slowly walked to the side of the guest and said politely. asked.
When the guest heard this, he looked up and saw that it was a fortune teller. He waved his hands in displeasure and said, "No need, I don't believe these nonsense... Sir, please go and ask elsewhere..." After that, he lowered his head and concentrated. Start drinking.
Lin Quan stood still, as if he wanted to persuade the other party, but was driven away by the servant next to the guest, telling him not to disturb his master's enjoyment.
Lin Quan barely restrained his anger and walked towards the table of guests next to him. From time to time, he turned back and glanced at the guest with gray beard and hair.
This scene was clearly seen by Luo Xiaoshi, who was sitting on the second floor. He couldn't help but doubt the fortune teller: Could it be that the fortune teller knew the guest? The look in his eyes seemed to have a grudge... No, you have to keep an eye on them, and you can't let them cause trouble in the store and affect Shen Erniang's business...
Today, Xiaofu didn't come because he had diarrhea. He sat alone in the shop and didn't dare to take it lightly. After all, this is the only long-term customer of the Escort Agency since its border branch opened, so he can't let anything go wrong here and ruin the reputation of the Escort Agency.
Luo Xiaoshi was lost in thought when he suddenly saw the grizzled old customer getting up to pay and preparing to leave. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the fortune teller who was still chatting with the guests at another table. He saw the fortune teller also getting up. As he looked about to leave, he became even more confused. What's going on with these two people? There won’t really be any festivals, right? Do you want to blow the whistle to invite Mr. Qin to come over?
Just when Luo Xiaoshi was hesitating, the guest, the master and the servant, and the fortune teller had already walked out of the wine shop.
Luo Xiaoshi hurriedly walked to the window and looked towards the street, looking for traces of the three people.
There is no one in front of the fortune-telling stall! There are no signs of those three people at the door of the nearby store? Where will they go? Luo Xiaoshi suddenly felt confused.
