The Shanye Inn where Zeng and Liu Xiangjun stayed was still booming, but the waiters and shopkeepers had all changed.
As soon as Shen Li arrived, someone handed him a package. When he opened it, he found brocade clothes worth thousands of dollars and a letter.
The waiter enthusiastically brought him chopped beef and roasted chicken. Shen Li first ate the stuffed rice to fill his stomach, and then licked his greasy fingers to open the envelope.
The person who wrote the letter has excellent handwriting, and just admiring the handwriting is refreshing.
But the content is not that good.
Ask Shen Li to go to Woxia Temple and kill three people.
One man was Yang Bo, a young scholar from the Northern Sui Dynasty who attracted much attention and was expected to become a high official in the future. A senior official in the temple once praised him for being a prime minister in every word and deed.
The letter briefly described Yang Bo's appearance and the pseudonym Wang Yishui.
The next person is a woman, a native of Nanwu. She has worshiped the Buddha since she was a child, but unlike other believers who go to Buddhist temples day and night to pay homage, she follows other heretical ways to learn Buddhism and is now at the fifth level of cultivation.
In Buddhism, there are also heresy, such as the joy method that only pursues sensual pleasure.
This woman was beautiful and her name was Zhu Murong.
The last person is a monk from Woxia Temple, whose name is Huai Si.
Taking a closer look, Shen Li was sure that this letter was definitely not written by Brother Zhao, and he recognized Brother Zhao's handwriting.
He called the boy and asked, "Who gave it to you?"
The boy laughed and said: "How can we know? I only know that the burden came from Kaixi City."
"Prepare a guest room for me."
"Okay, please, sir."
The guest room was clean, with only a bed, a table and two chairs, and nothing else.
Shen Li lay with his back on the bed, silently recalling his experience in Kaixi City.
Before he could think about it for a moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
The person who came was a lame man, limping and sitting down with a cane.
The young man laughed: "You don't recognize life."
"My Cao Xu, I have met the young man." This Cao Xu was the lame man who conspired with Qin Zhen in Zuichun Tower. Qin Zhen gritted his teeth in hatred towards him.
"You can find me accurately, which shows that you are one of our own."
Sitting opposite Cao Xu, I looked at his appearance and said from the bottom of my heart that Cao Xu's appearance was really unattractive, even a bit ugly.
Cao Xu smiled and said: "Young Master guessed wrong. I am not one of our own."
"Who do you belong to?"
"The person of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Cao Xu faced Kaixi City and raised his hands.
Shen Li shook his head: "I don't think so."
"Xiao Langjun, don't you believe it?"
But listen to the young man saying to himself: "Jia Qiuhe? Not necessarily. Jia Qiuhe has high eyesight. He will not keep a cripple like you as a guest. Sun Yuanji, Liu Pu, Gu Yan? No, if you are a spy, Brother Zhao I have found you out a long time ago. Anyway, you are not the prince. With your appearance, you will be beaten to death before you can even enter the door."
"Oh!! Do I know who you are?"
"Please give me some advice." Cao Xu looked at him with a smile.
The young man in front of him walked into the chess game step by step. Based on his knowledge, even if the Vajra Dragon Elephant Body was as powerful as the sky, he would still end up miserable.
Who would have thought that after fighting several hard and life-threatening battles and sealing the Eight Heavenly Dragons with his life, this young man would still be rosy-cheeked and lively.
Could it be that the Vajra Dragon Elephant Body is so powerful that it reaches the sky?
Otherwise, it is unreasonable.
"I once read through the Xingxiu Sect's intelligence compilation about Southern Wu, and found that a lame man was mentioned many times, saying that this person was good at conspiracy, and had a sharp tongue to deceive people's hearts. Comparable, because he wants to go to the Northern Expedition."
"I said, this person should be you, right? Cao Xu."
Cao Xu laughed loudly: "Young Master has a wonderful mind. No wonder Mr. Zhao values you so much."
After pouring a glass of boiled water for the two of them, the young man lay back on the bed: "Tell me, why do you come to see me? Hey, wait, you brought the baggage?"
"Yes, I did bring the baggage to the inn."
"The person who wrote the letter is...forget it, even if I ask you, I will definitely not tell you."
Cao Xu immediately said: "The person who wrote the letter is the current His Highness King Xun."
Shen Li stood up suddenly, stared at him and asked, "Wu Master's fellow brother, King Xun?"
"Exactly."
"Why are you looking for me again?"
Now that he has read the letter, why should Cao Xu go to the trouble of meeting him.
The lame man seemed to be drinking, and drank all the boiled water in one gulp: "I secretly leaked His Royal Highness Prince Xun to the Young Master, so naturally I have something to ask for."
"I didn't hear who you said wrote the letter." Shen Li turned over and turned his back to him.
"Haha, the young man is too worried. His Highness King Xun and Mr. Zhao are like-minded people. During the chess game in Kaixi City, if His Highness King Xun had not opened the back door for Mr. Zhao, how could Mr. Zhao do it in front of all the dignitaries of the court? Arrange it calmly?"
"Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard is chanting sutras."
Cao Xu suddenly felt helpless, "What I'm asking for has nothing to do with Southern Wu. I want to ask Mr. Xiao Lang to kill someone for me when he goes north to the grassland in the future."
Shen Li turned to look at him: "How did you know I was going to the grassland?"
"Mr. Zhao mentioned it accidentally."
"Kill who?"
"Wu Changyan."
"Have not heard."
"Wu Changyan is the legitimate son of the sixth owner of Jinbi Villa in the Northern Sui Dynasty."
Jinbi Villa was considered a famous sect in the Northern Sui Dynasty. There were ten owners with different surnames.
Shen Li stretched out his hand and said that there must be a reward for this matter.
Cao Xu smiled, understanding that His Highness Prince Xun alone was not enough to satisfy the young man's appetite.
He immediately took out a book and placed it on the table.
Even Shen Li could clearly see these big characters while lying on the bed.
"Four Values of Merit".
He quickly got out of bed and opened the book.
Cao Xu was very calm and waited for Shen Li to identify the authenticity.
"It's really a complete fourth-level meritorious service!!"
The fourth-level skill he used at Wuyidu Inn was actually an incomplete technique. The complete fourth-level skill created four machine-armored men with infinite power, comparable to top-level masters such as fourth-level and third-level masters.
Then again, if it is really a perfect fourth-level meritorious service, a single Vajra-level Panghu is tantamount to death, so how can it make him show off his power like beating a child.
"Isn't it King Xun who gave it to me and you used it to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha?" Shen Li asked.
The lame man laughed: "Young Master should be aware of the weight of the "Four Levels of Merit", which is enough for the Taoist sect to create four high-level masters out of thin air. In martial arts, the ninth level, the fourth level and above are considered high-level, and those below the fourth level are considered high-level. They are nothing but chickens and dogs. King Xun will definitely exchange such a valuable thing for greater benefits, so why would he give it to Mr. Xiaolang?"
"Time and place. How long does it take to kill Wu Changyan? How can I find you after killing him?"
"No need, I am willing to believe in Xiao Langjun's character."
Shen Li quickly asked: "What kind of person is Wu Changyan?"
"Don't worry, Wu Changyan's hands are stained with the blood of countless innocent people. If he is a good person, I will find Xingxiu to teach other masters, and I will not feel uncomfortable with Xiao Langjun. Of course, Xiao Langjun can investigate Wu Changyan himself As a human being, Yan thinks he is a good person and there is no need to kill him."
With Cao Xu's words, Shen Li said, "I'll take over this deal."
"Well, in addition, I have a business deal that I would like to do with the young man."
"explain."
"I know how to completely solve the shortcomings of Xiao Langjun."
Shen Li immediately stared at him: "I will do it."
