Hu Qingzhu guessed and replied: "That boy Bai Yutian has learned Jiang Qingcheng's true story deeply. He has practiced Chunyang Palm to perfection, and his inner strength has reached the state of transformation. He is also assisted by Master Zhizhi, Brother Wuliu, Hu Yiqiu, Zhang Tianhao and others. , No matter how strong the martial arts of Hall Master He and Huashan are, it is really difficult to match them."
When the man in Tsing Yi heard that Master Mingzhi and Brother Wuliu were also involved in this matter, there was a strange look in his eyes. He glanced at the man in white, sat back on the stool, and asked Hu Qingzhu softly: "Master Mingzhi, are you following?" Jiang clarified that those five killers are now in the bodyguard team?"
Hu Qingzhu pretended not to know and asked, "Why did Jiang clarify those five killers?"
Qi Zuodai replied: "It's the five monsters of the Wuliu brothers. Jiang Qingcheng used to travel in the world, and martial arts people would ask him for help. He would do the big things himself, but the five monsters of the Wuliu brothers would usually do the small things for them."
Hu Qingzhu heard about it, smiled in surprise, and said as if waking up from a dream, "Oh, that's what happened. We are all here. We are staying at the Good Luck Inn on East Street. We were entrusted by Jiang Longwei to look after the escorts and silver together."
The man in green said: "When you entered the town, Qi Zuo saw Han Sitong, Qin Haowen, and Duan Wentong, the green forest bandits following the escort car. What on earth is going on?"
In order not to be exposed, Hu Qingzhu had betrayed the Dragon Slaying Society. A smart person should answer truthfully what he could understand at a glance. He should not be fooled. He replied heartily: "Han Sitong and others gathered in the mountains and forests to block roads and rob. It was actually forced by life. It has long been the case." The desire to turn from evil to good, change one's ways, and return to the right path. In order to gain recognition from the righteous people in the martial arts world by leveraging the prestige of the Longwei Escort Agency in the southern martial arts world, I have accepted Jiang Longwei's kind invitation to help the Longwei Escort Agency escort the escort north."
The man in green asked: "How many people are there to escort the guards north?"
Hu Qingzhu replied: "It is said that there are forty or fifty people. The martial arts masters who can really compete with each other are at best Master Mingzhi, Wuliu Brothers, Gu Huai, Zhang Tianhao, Jiang's Three Heroes, Huang Daoting, and Le Xiaotian, Han Sitong, Jiang Longwei and more than ten or twenty people."
The man in white said puzzledly: "In the past, He Zhencun reported to the headquarters that Jiang Longwei had no morals and talents. He only wanted to spend time and drink, play with women, idle around, and did not do his job. He was a complete playboy. How did he come to you now and become a good player in the world? "
Hu Qingzhu smiled and replied: "That's a rumor. Jiang Daogong was outstanding in martial arts. He worked hard for the Longwei Escort Bureau for most of his life. He was famous in the south of the Yangtze River and his chivalrous reputation spread far and wide. Jiang Longwei was young and could enjoy his achievements without having to win over others through his own hard work. The respect of the two rarely walks in the world. The eyes of the world cannot tolerate sand, and they will compare the actions of the two fathers and sons, and the illusion of the father being strong and the son being weak will be obvious at a glance. "
The man in Tsing Yi gradually let down his guard when he saw that Hu Qingzhu not only answered all questions, but also answered them in a coherent manner, which was almost consistent with his previous guesses. When he got up, he took out a very small paper bag from his pocket, handed it to Qi Zuo, and said to Hu Qingzhu: "Hu Qingzhu, this bag is Hua Gong Powder. After taking it, the attack will occur two hours later, and all the strength will be lost within a short period of time." None. You mix it into the breakfast of Master Mingzhi, Brother Wuliu and others. After the matter is completed, I will make the decision on behalf of the lord, and the deputy master of Qinglong Hall will be yours. Don't let others down."
Hu Qingzhu took the small paper package handed by Qi Zuo, bowed to the man in green and white and said politely: "Please rest assured, your Majesty, I, Hu Qingzhu, was born as a member of the Dragon Slaying Association and died as a ghost of the Dragon Slaying Association. I will definitely not disgrace my mission." "
The man in white stood up and said solemnly: "Hu Qingzhu, you didn't join the Dragon Slaying Association for a day or two. There are some things you should know very well. If you can't complete the task, you don't have to accept the mission. If you accept the mission, you have to do it to the letter. Go ahead and get it done. If you don't do your best and don't do your best, you know the consequences."
Hu Qingzhu bowed and replied: "If I can't complete the task, I'm willing to raise my head and come to see you."
With this said, what else can be said. Qi Zuo saw the two men in Qingyi and Baiyi moving, and hurriedly walked to open the door. He left Hu Qingzhu saying, "Be careful, no need to send each other off." After that, he followed the man in Qingyi and the man in white, walked out of the room, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. No trace.
Hu Qingzhu sent Qi Zuo and the others away, closed the door, walked to the chair and sat down, looking at the small paper package in his hand, thinking a lot, not knowing what to do for a moment. I thought that if I threw away the small paper bag, I was afraid that there would be someone from the Dragon Slaying Society in the Lucky Inn. If they don't throw away the small paper bag and add Hua Gong Powder to the breakfast of Master Mingzhi and others, once they eat it, the poison will take effect and their internal strength will be gone, so what can they use to fight the enemy.
Just when things were going wrong, there was a knock on the door, and a voice came in: "Old Hu, it's time to eat."
Hu Qingzhu put the paper bag in his arms, walked over, opened the door, welcomed Yan Kun and Tao Xinzhi into the room, closed the door, sat down with the two of them, and said inexplicably: "Those who betray the Dragon Slayer Association will die. You know it."
Yan Kun snorted coldly and said: "Those who betray the Dragon Slayer Association will die, but those who betray the righteous way of the martial arts will not live well. Rather than living an ignoble existence against one's will and wishes, it is better to die vigorously and at least win respect."
Tao Xinzhi said: "We travel around the world in order to live freely and happily. Following the Dragon Slaying Club not only kills fellow martial artists, but also hides under the black cloth in the dark. I am tired of living such a boring life and don't want to Again."
"In that case, let's go have a meal. Let's go to the Good Luck Inn later to meet Jiang Longwei. We will say what needs to be said and what needs to be done is done. There will be no more suspicion." Hu Qingzhu got up and left. I went to open the door and walked out, followed closely by Yan Kun and Tao Xinzhi...
Speaking of the Good Luck Inn, Master Jiang Longwei, Master Mingzhi and others had dinner and washed up. They were really exhausted and went to bed early. Those who still felt that they still had the energy to welcome the moon sat in the courtyard, sipping tea, chatting and saying goodbye. The afterglow of the setting sun has dissipated.
Hu Qingzhu, Yan Kun and Tao Xinzhi had dinner, and after washing up, they came to the Good Luck Inn. Seeing that the front hall of the inn was quiet, they thought Jiang Longwei and others had rested, and were about to turn around and leave. Xiao Ruoyun Liu Qing and Liu Qing happened to be at the front desk to get some drinks, so they stepped forward and said, "Nvxia Xiao, Daxia Zhang and the others haven't rested yet?"
"Bring me two jars of fine wine for my daughter." Xiao Ruoyun said to the counter, turned to smile at Hu Qingzhu and the others, and replied: "I'm out and about, and there are dangers everywhere. The chief escort doesn't want everyone to delay things because of drinking, so I'll call for dinner. There is not enough wine. Senior Li didn’t drink to his fullest at the dinner table. He wanted to toast to the moon, so naturally he couldn’t fall asleep.”
After hearing this, Hu Qingzhu was extremely happy and said with a smile: "Well, the three of us can just keep company."
Xiao Ruoyun took the wine jar from the store, handed it to Liu Qing, and said, "Let's go to the backyard and have a few drinks!" Holding another jar of wine, he stepped towards the back. Hu Qingzhu, Yan Kun, and Tao Xinzhi Follow closely behind.
In the backyard, Jiang Longwei sat around with Master Mingzhi, Brother Wuliu, Elder Guhuai, Taoist Master Jingyin, Zhang Tianhao, Huang Daoting, Le Xiaotian, and the three heroes of the Jiang family, sipping tea and chatting. , with a smile on his face. Seeing Hu Qingzhu and the others walking in, they stood up to greet them and asked them to sit down.
Liu Qing opened the wine jar and said to Master Mingzhi: "Master, wait a moment, I'll go get some wine glasses."
Zhang Tianhao drank the tea in one gulp and stretched out the teacup to Liu Qing: "What kind of wine glass should I use? What a nice tea bowl. It can hold a lot. Enjoy your drink."
Liu Qing was naturally happy because she no longer had to run in vain, and happily filled Zhang Tianhao's teacup with wine.
When Master Mingzhi smelled the aroma of wine, greed crawled into his throat, and he swallowed the tea in one gulp. He asked Liu Qing to pour a glass of wine, took two sips, and said with a smile: "This daughter is still soft and comfortable, but it's a pity that boy Bai Yutian If you’re not here, you can’t drink it every day.”
Gu Huai also asked Liu Qing to fill the tea bowl with wine, took two sips, and then said: "Li Yiru, the wine is good, but you can't say that. For the sake of the overall situation, this kid Long Wei didn't let you drink well at the dinner table. Privately, I still want you to drink to your heart’s content, right?”
Liu Yijin then said: "Gu Huai, you can think of the worst in everything! Lao Li just thought of the good things about Bai Yutian, and didn't say that Jiang Longwei is not good. You need to do this for him." Are you trying to stir up trouble and stir up trouble?"
Gu Huai smiled slightly and said, "Okay, okay, please forgive me for my slip of the tongue."
As the saying goes, it doesn't mean that enemies never get together. Although several elders are good friends, they get into trouble whenever they disagree.
Jiang Longwei filled the tea cup with wine, stood up, and greeted everyone: "On behalf of all my colleagues in the Longwei Escort Bureau, I would like to thank all the seniors for your help for traveling thousands of miles. A glass of wine with too little wine is not a sign of respect."
Zhang Tianhao said: "Weier, this is the courtyard, not the wine table. There is no need to be so polite. Just sit down and drink."
Hu Qingzhu drank two sips of wine with everyone, put down the tea bowl, took out the small paper bag from his arms, stood up and handed it to Jiang Longwei, saying: "Chief escort, before dinner today, Qi Zuo brought two people wearing one green and one white. After he came to me and asked me some questions, the man in green clothes handed me this bag, saying it was Hua Gong Powder, and asked me to mix it into your breakfast tomorrow."
Jiang Longwei took the small paper bag and handed it to his wife Su Zhener beside him and asked: "I don't know what poison is. Take a look and see if it is dispersed by dispersing power."
Su Zhen'er took the small paper bag, opened it slowly, smelled it, put a little of it into her mouth with her finger, tasted it, took a sip of wine, rinsed her mouth, spit it out, and replied: "Colorless and odorless, it dissolves when exposed to water and does not harm the mouth and stomach. It should be taken as a powder."
After hearing this, Jiang Longwei turned to Hu Qingzhu and asked: "What is the background of the person who gave me the Hua Gong Powder to you?"
"I don't know." Hu Qingzhu felt that the three-word answer was a bit short, and he was afraid of misunderstanding, so he continued: "As a subordinate, in front of your superiors, you must not ask questions that you should not ask. This is the rule of the Dragon Slaying Association."
The answer was not what was asked. Although it was the truth, everyone was still a little unhappy after hearing it.
