The man was wearing a bamboo hat. He looked to be in his fifties and had a slightly pointed chin. Although he had an ordinary appearance, his complexion was slightly gray.
If someone comes close, you can even smell an unusual fishy-sweet smell from the man's body, which is definitely caused by exposure to poison all the time.
After entering the main hall, the man's eyes fell on Zhu Wuwu. After a few breaths, the man said: "Ha! You can actually detect me. It seems that the three people of Duhe, Dujie and Duanyan will After absorption, your cultivation has successfully reached the level of the Grand Master!"
Facing what the man said, Zhu Yilan looked as usual and did not stop at this topic. Instead, he said: "At this time, you should not come to this king."
The man said indifferently: "Don't worry! I set out at midnight last night. No one followed me along the way, and no one from the Qinglong Club would notice."
Hearing this, Zhu Wuwu's expression did not ease at all: "Where is the thing that I want?"
Facing what Zhu Wuwu said, the man took out a small emerald green bottle from his arms and threw it at Zhu Wuwu.
After Zhu Wuwu took the medicine bottle, the man slowly said: "As agreed with you, I will help you to use poison to make the three of you to survive the disaster, the disaster, and the disaster. Now the poison of the Cuimo Jiuyunyan is also Here you go, I’ve completed two of the things I promised you, and after completing the last one, don’t forget to promise me the “Absorbing Gong Dafa”.”
As soon as the voice fell, the man turned around and disappeared into the hall.
Only Zhu Yiyi's eyes fell on the emerald green bottle in his hand, thoughts flowing rapidly in his eyes.
….
At the end of Youshi.
As the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty, the size of this capital is by no means comparable to that of a small city like Yushui City.
The capital city is also divided into inner city, outer city and palace city.
Even though the inner city and outer city are so big, it is definitely not feasible to visit them all in one day.
When the people in Chu Qinghe were wandering around, not to mention Qu Feiyan and the girls, even Jellyfish Yinji was carrying some small items that she had bought while wandering around the capital.
But compared to the other girls, Chu Qinghe seemed to be in low spirits at this moment.
I wonder if men are not naturally interested in shopping.
It stands to reason that with Chu Qinghe's current physique, he wouldn't be tired of walking around the streets for a few hours.
When the sky turned completely dark and lanterns began to be hung on the streets, Chu Qinghe and the others slowly returned to the inn.
While the girls were sitting in the courtyard talking about the things they had just bought, the waiter of the inn quickly walked to the entrance of the small courtyard and said, "Sir, there are two uncles outside who said they came to visit the young master."
"visit?"
After hearing what the waiter said, the expressions of Jellyfish Yinji and Qu Feiyan in the courtyard were slightly stunned.
Facing what the waiter said at this moment, Chu Qinghe also frowned slightly as if he didn't know what he was thinking of when he turned his face sideways.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Qinghe said: "Let people come in!"
The waiter nodded and quickly turned around and walked outside.
When the waiter left, Jellyfish Yinji asked, "Zhu Wuwang?"
Chu Qinghe nodded slightly and said: "Probably."
In the capital, the only people Chu Qinghe knew were Zhu Wuwang, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng.
But on this trip, Chu Qinghe and others changed their faces along the way.
It is impossible for Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng to know Chu Qinghe's whereabouts.
Naturally, the identity of the person who came to the door at this time was obvious.
"It's a bit too early."
After Chu Qinghe muttered this to himself, Qu Feiyan and the girls quickly packed up the things on the table and put them into the room.
When the girls came out, under the guidance of the waiter, two figures slowly walked to the entrance of the courtyard where Chu Qinghe was.
Looking at Zhu Wuwu and Shangguan Haitang who had caught his eye, Chu Qinghe's thoughts suddenly appeared and disappeared, but a professional and gentle smile appeared on his face.
Here, after Shangguan Haitang took out a piece of silver and threw it to the waiter to send him away, Zhu Wuwu just stepped into the courtyard.
When he arrived in front of Chu Qinghe and the others, Zhu Wulan said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay, Mr. Chu?"
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said: "The Shenhou is still as elegant as ever! Please sit down."
Zhu Wulan nodded with a smile and slowly sat down.
After sitting down, Zhu Wuwu first glanced at Jellyfish Yinji and others who had changed their appearance, and then focused on Chu Qinghe opposite who also changed their appearance.
"I didn't expect Mr. Chu to be proficient in the art of disguise. If I hadn't known about it in advance, it would have been difficult to tell the true identities of Mr. Chu and others while walking on the street."
Chu Qinghe said with a smile: "I don't want to be too ostentatious when I go out. Don't blame me Lord God."
Zhu Wulan smiled lightly and glanced at Shangguan Haitang next to him.
Noticing Zhu Wulan's gaze, Shangguan Haitang took two steps forward and gently placed the jade box he had been holding on the table.
As Shangguan Haitang opened the jade box, the items inside were instantly visible to the eyes of Chu Qinghe and others.
It is a plant that looks like an ear of rice, but is completely icy blue with a hint of crystal.
When the eyes of Chu Qinghe and others fell on the box, Zhu Wuwang said with a smile: "I was in a hurry before going out and didn't have much. Today, Mr. Chu comes to the capital, and I will just send the money for the last medical consultation."
After looking away from the plants in the jade box, Chu Qinghe said: "Poria Ice Soul Spike, I didn't expect Shenhou to have such a thing in his hand?"
After listening to what Chu Qinghe said, Zhu Wuwang responded: "Young Master Chu is indeed well-informed. When I first got this thing, I read a lot of ancient books before I knew what it was. I never thought that Young Master Chu could tell it at a glance. Recognize this Poria Ice Soul Spike."
Chu Qinghe shook his head and said: "If this Poria Ice Soul Ear can successfully grow fruits and flowers, it can eliminate hundreds of poisons and make people have ice muscles and jade bones to strengthen their physical fitness. However, Shenhou's Poria Ice Soul Ear is If it is picked before it blooms, its effect will be greatly reduced.”
Regarding this, Zhu Gu said with regret: "Yes! After all, people in the world are not like Mr. Chu. They pick randomly without knowing the effect. It is indeed a waste of natural resources."
Chu Qinghe smiled softly, and then said: "But this thing is indeed rare. Since the Lord God gave it to me, I would be disrespectful to accept it."
This Poria Ice Soul Spike itself grows in cold pools in some extremely cold places, and is rare in itself.
Once picked, growth is interrupted.
For others, the effect of this Poria Ice Soul Sui is greatly reduced, but it is different for Chu Qinghe.
Don't forget, Chu Qinghe has special soil like Flowing Fire Breathing Soil in his hands.
Chu Qinghe had seen it just now and found that the roots of the Poria Ice Soul Spike also still existed. He only needed to plant it into the Flowing Fire Breathing Soil, and it would regenerate flowers in just a few days.
After saying that, Chu Qinghe said slowly: "Feiyan, put the things away."
As soon as the voice came out, Qu Feiyan took a few steps quickly and then closed the jade box again and picked it up.
After Qu Feiyan returned to where he was before, Zhu Wuwu said, "It's getting late. Since Mr. Chu has arrived in the capital, if there is any trouble, you can use this item to go to Dragon Protection Villa."
As he spoke, Zhu Wuwu took out a token with complex patterns and the word "Dragon Protector" from his arms and placed it on the table.
After glancing at the token on the table, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Is this just the reason why the Lord God came here today?"
After hearing Chu Qinghe's question, Zhu Wulan's face remained as usual and said: "When a distinguished guest comes to visit, how can I not show my loyalty to the landlord?"
Chu Qinghe's smile did not change and he said: "In that case, Lord Shen, please do as you please."
Facing Chu Qinghe's somewhat intriguing reaction, Zhu Wuwu looked at Chu Qinghe deeply and nodded.
"My king takes my leave."
After the voice fell, Zhu Wulan stood up slowly and walked outside with Shangguan Haitang.
A moment later, after Zhu Wuwu and Shangguan Haitang left, Qu Feiyan and the girls sat down again.
Qu Feiyan picked up the token left by Zhu Wuli on the table and looked at it for a while, then said: "Zhu Wuli came here just to say hello and give this thing?"
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe said quietly: "Maybe it is, maybe it is not."
"Sir, what do you mean by this?"
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe in confusion.
In response to this, Jellyfish Yinji on the side said: "Don't forget, there is Dongchang and Cao Zhengchun in the capital."
After a pause, Jellyfish Yin Ji continued: "Zhu Wuwu and Cao Zhengchun have been fighting for many years. In terms of power, Cao Zhengchun even surpasses Zhu Wuwu. There are many eyes and ears in this capital. Zhu Wuwu and Shangguan Haitang are here now. Visit, the news should reach Cao Zhengchun soon."
"Unless the inn itself is Zhu Wuli's own power, which can ensure that Cao Zhengchun will not know about the visit now."
Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and then asked: "But the young master helped Zhu Wuwu before and had no enmity with Zhu Wuwu himself. Why do you want to do this deliberately to attract Cao Zhengchun now?"
Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "Maybe it's to confirm Cao Zhengchun's identity!"
"Confirm Cao Zhengchun's identity?"
Faced with what Chu Qinghe said, not to mention Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin, even Qu Feiyan looked at a loss.
But after a few breaths, Qu Feiyan seemed to have some idea in his mind and said: "Sir, are you saying that Cao Zhengchun may also be a member of the Qinglong Society?"
Chu Qinghe said lightly: "It's not impossible."
No matter how Zhu Wuwu manages his business outside, just because Zhu Wuwu chose to join the Qinglong Club, Bai Xiaosheng will not be unaware of Zhu Wuwu's ambitions.
This can be seen from the fact that Bai Xiaosheng took the initiative to create a weakness for Zhu Wuwu to control.
But Qinglonghui knows the apparent weakness, and so does Zhu Wuwu.
What Qinglong would do secretly, Zhu Wuyi had no idea about.
It just so happened that the appearance of Chu Qinghe was undoubtedly an opportunity for Zhu Wuwu to test Cao Zhengchun.
And this method of testing is probably not that simple.
Here, as his thoughts were flowing, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said: "I hope Zhu Wuwang didn't have any ulterior motives when he came!" Otherwise, I am afraid that the new emperor in half a month will inevitably suffer some hardships. "
After all, when Chu Qinghe came out of Yushui City this time, he wanted to let Qinglonghui see something.
He won't be as restrained as before.
When appropriate, he will also get angry.
If Zhu Wuli was so restless, Chu Qinghe wouldn't mind letting Zhu Wuli feel what it meant to suffer for one's own fault.
….
The other side.
Also after Zhu Wuwu and Shangguan Haitang came out of the inn, they followed the sedan that Shangguan Haitang and Zhu Wuwu were sitting in to the street corner.
Shangguan Haitang quickly glanced at the inn where Chu Qinghe was.
I happened to see two Dongchang fans wearing Dongchang costumes enter the inn.
Later, Shangguan Haitang said: "Why did the foster father deliberately and openly enter the inn to let Cao Zhengchun's people know the existence of Mr. Chu?"
As soon as the voice came out, Zhu Wuwu's voice came from inside the sedan.
"Because I need to make sure whether Chu Qinghe comes to the capital this time just to see the excitement, or if he has ulterior motives."
Hearing this, Shangguan Haitang asked: "Is the adoptive father worried that Chu Qinghe and Cao Zhengchun know each other?"
Zhu Wulan shook his head and said: "I don't know, but the reason why the emperor agreed to the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng in the Forbidden City was largely because of Cao Zhengchun's bewitchment."
"This decisive battle in the Forbidden City is too strange. It is most likely a conspiracy. In addition, more and more warriors have gathered in the capital recently. The people in Hulong Villa have basically been divided into secretly monitoring those who enter the capital these days. The warrior among them.”
"But Cao Zhengchun's Dongchang is indifferent. At this time, it can be said that Dragon Guard Villa is at its weakest. It is also the first time that so many warriors will enter the palace. For safety reasons, I have to consider this."
Taking what Zhu Wuwu said into his ears, Shangguan Haitang nodded slightly.
"My adoptive father is really thoughtful."
After a while, Zhu Wuwu's voice came from the sedan again.
"How are you preparing for the other things I asked you to arrange?"
Shangguan Haitang responded: "It has been arranged according to the instructions of the adoptive father."
At this point, Zhu Wuliang in the sedan said "hmm" before becoming quiet again.
….
Half an hour later.
East Factory.
If we say that Hulong Villa gives people the feeling of grandeur.
So the feeling of this Dongchang is that it is cold and terrifying.
As long as someone can step through the gate of Dongchang, they can immediately feel the smell of rotten meat inside.
Especially late at night, the faintly echoing screams made pedestrians walking outside the East Factory inevitably speed up their pace.
At this time, in a certain room in the East Factory, a person was sitting on the main seat.
He looks a little rich, with gray hair, but his face is as rosy as a baby, and he is dressed like a eunuch.
As if he was born with it, the corners of his mouth are slightly upward, giving people the impression of being as amiable as the elders next door.
But being in the East Factory and sitting on the throne, this person's identity is naturally obvious.
It is Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Dongchang, who is the only one in the capital who can compete with the iron-courage god Hou Zhuyi.
In front of Cao Zhengchun, a Dongchang fan knelt on one knee.
A moment later, after the Dongchang fan reported the news, Cao Zhengchun raised his hand and said: "Go down!"
When he spoke, Cao Zhengchun's voice had a bit of the sharpness unique to eunuchs. When he waved gently, his slightly fat hands still showed the shape of orchid fingers.
After the Dongchang fanzi left, a Dongchang stall owner next to him said: "Supervisor, I'm afraid it's unusual for Zhu to be able to meet someone in person. Do you need your subordinates to investigate?"
After hearing this, Cao Zhengchun said: "Zhu Tiedan has always been careful in his work. If the person he met today is particularly important, it is impossible for him to do it so blatantly. I am afraid there is some bad taste in him."
After thinking for a while, Cao Zhengchun said: "Let's check it out in detail, but if we don't know the situation clearly, don't alert anyone. I'll find a chance to take a look at it myself tomorrow."
"Don't worry, Lord Governor."
As soon as the voice came out, the Dongchang stall next to him responded and quickly turned around and walked outside.
After the Dongchang stall owner left, Cao Zhengchun said softly: "Okay, you all can get off!"
After everyone in the hall had left and carefully closed the door, a man slowly walked out from behind the screen in the room.
The man looked to be in his fifties, with a Chinese-character face, thick eyebrows and eagle eyes. Although he was just standing still, he gave people a sharp and domineering feeling.
As for the man's body, not to mention that the headdress is made of pure gold, even the robes and shoes he wears have corresponding patterns drawn with gold thread.
Not to mention anything else, just this outfit alone gives people a feeling of envy.
It was none other than Shangguan Jinhong, the leader of the Money Gang, the largest gang in the capital, who was in the late Grand Master realm.
After glancing at Shangguan Jinhong, Cao Zhengchun said calmly: "As expected by the three dragon heads, this Zhu Mingwu really wants to test this Governor through the Young Master Chu who came today. identity of."
As he spoke, Cao Zhengchun sighed: "It is Zhu Tiedan who is indeed extraordinary. The Qinglong Society has been hidden for hundreds of years, but this Zhu Tiedan can actually connect this governor and the Qinglong Society."
Shangguan Jinhong said: "Since you know clearly that Zhu Wuwu is testing, why are you still delaying?"
Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun chuckled and said: "Shangguan Gang Leader, you have only been in contact with Zhu Tiedan for a short time, so you don't know much about Zhu Tiedan."
"Zhu Tiedan has always been suspicious. If this governor directly contacts Mr. Chu, it will make Zhu Tiedan suspicious. It is better to wait and see what Zhu Tiedan's plan is later. .”
Then, after a short pause, Cao Zhengchun raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Jinhong and said: "Oh, who can be so highly regarded by the Qinglong Association? I don't know who this young master named Chu is?"
Shangguan Jinhong said slowly: "I don't know."
The smile on Cao Zhengchun's face froze and he said: "The leader of the Shangguan Gang is one of the dragon heads of the Qinglong Society, but he doesn't know the news about this person?"
However, facing Cao Zhengchun's inquiry, Shangguan Jinhong did not answer, and his deep and powerful voice slowly sounded.
"The meaning of the three dragon heads is also very obvious, not to offend those people named Chu."
After the voice fell, Shangguan Jinhong turned slightly and opened the door to leave.
Cao Zhengchun was left alone in this room, with thoughts on his face.
My shoulders have been hurting a lot these past few days, which has affected my coding status a bit. I’ll give an update today. The author will go to the hospital to check the situation tonight! Forgive me!
