Chapter 1,338 There is no clean water at the emperor’s feet, friends should come from afar
When I came out from Yougui Pavilion again, it was already a day later. [.\nCOM Situ’s updated chapters are the most complete and comprehensive, and the error-free content is repaired in the most timely manner. Due to caching reasons, browser access is recommended.\nCOM official website]
The flow of time in Xingjie is slower than that in Holy God Continent. Xu Xiaoshou even waited for a long time, waiting until dawn to finish dressing up before coming out.
"Son."
As soon as they came out of the elegant pavilion, Yingyingqiaoer bowed and saluted, smiling brightly, obviously waiting for a long time.
The two girls changed their clothes and put on a green and purple palace dress with wide sleeves. They were no longer as "unclothed" as they were the day before, and looked much more decent.
Even the makeup has obviously been carefully adjusted, with only a slight application of powder and makeup instead of heavy makeup, which makes them look less tacky and more fresh and elegant.
"Why are you?"
The sick man shook his fan and quickly got into the role. He was quite curious about Yingying Queer's dress.
In this "Accord", the only ones who are qualified to wear decent clothes are Aunt Xiang and Miss Ah Yao.
Of course, now we have two more girls.
"Aunt Xiang ordered us to serve the young master. This is our only task next." Yingying said eagerly, her tone a bit curious.
After not seeing him for a day, Xu Gusheng looked even more delicate and bookish.
In other words, more like an ordinary person...
Even the two women knew in their hearts that the identity of this sick young man from the Eastern Region was not simple.
But when I face him, I always feel approachable. If I face an ordinary person, I can laugh naturally.
This is much easier than meeting Aunt Xiang.
The latter always feels like he is facing a suppressed active volcano, and he doesn't know when his smile will change, but it will erupt.
"That's it..."
Xu Xiaoshou nodded, not surprised by Aunt Xiang's arrangement.
He really didn't have time to find a few new companions to chat with him all the way, talking about the vast world in the Central Region and asking for information.
Aunt Xiang arranged it. First of all, the background should be clean, and the rest... is not important.
"Come with me, young master. I happen to be going out today, so you can lead the way."
The sick man waved, and the birds and birds followed him with smiles on their faces.
The first step is done!
At least Mr. Xu doesn't hate the two of them, so everything will be easy to talk about next.
"Where's Miss Ah Yao?"
The three of them went downstairs. Xu Xiaoshou asked as he walked, remembering the weak woman who was too drunk.
After all, Aunt Xiang kept talking to Ah Yao yesterday, saying that she would send the woman to his bed.
Xu Xiaoshou didn't say anything, but kept it in mind.
Of course, this is mainly because Aunt Xiang has mentioned it so many times that she can’t forget it even if she wants to.
He remembered that he only thought that Ah Yao would receive him today, and he had no other thoughts.
"Miss Ah Yao is still resting. She drank too much wine yesterday," Que'er said.
"Only three cups, how much more?" Xu Xiaoshou wondered, "It's been a whole day, and the pigs have to wake up!"
"...Miss Ah Yao is not a spiritual refiner after all, and her body is also weak."
"That's so weak!"
Xu Xiaoshou scolded him, and felt that he had really become a bad person, forcing the leader of Yougui Pavilion to drink and get drunk as soon as he came.
Fortunately, he did not intend to adopt a good persona. After going downstairs with the support of the two women, he shook his head and said:
"You two, remember to let me know when Miss Ah Yao wakes up."
"Okay." Yingying Queer's eyes were a little envious. Sure enough, all men could not resist the charm of Ah Yao. This sick young man pretended to be serious yesterday, but now he is also attracted to her.
Unexpectedly, the sick young man in their eyes closed the folding fan with a snap and said with a smile:
"When Miss Ah Yao wakes up, Xu will force her to drink a few more drinks. Let me see if she is really drunk or fake!"
"This amount of alcohol must be drunk..."
Yingying and Queer were stunned for a moment, then stopped and looked at each other, speechless.
Is this a man?
This is the devil!
"Under suspicion, passive value, +2."
"Being feared, passive value, +2."
After walking out of Yougui Pavilion, by chance, old man Li with big black circles under his eyes walked out of the side door.
While wearing his belt, he leaned against the wall and walked, shaking his head, as if he was upset about something. His steps were sloppy, and his body bones looked thinner.
"Old Li!" Xu Xiaoshou was so happy that he shouted loudly.
This is really a coincidence. Old Man Li is here, so there is no need for Yougui Pavilion to prepare a carriage.
Speaking of which, Lao Li is a bit tough. Even though he was so fast, he still stayed in Yougui Pavilion for more than a day.
Seeing his weak appearance, Xu Xiaoshou was very doubtful whether he would fall down the next second he left the wall.
"Master Xu?"
Old Man Li was also surprised when he raised his head.
But he quickly puffed up his chest, forced himself to gather some energy, and hurried over, "What a coincidence, Mr. Xu, but you need to take a carriage?"
"We have a carriage." Yingying came from behind and looked at Old Man Li up and down, but there was no unnecessary dislike on her face.
Que'er's footsteps were blocked, and she was half-covered. By coincidence, she got stuck between the sick young man and Old Man Li.
They were ordered to take good care of Mr. Xu, so naturally they had to consider the safety of their trip.
Other people's carriages are definitely not as good as our own, even the Cinnamon carriage.
"Oh, that's it." Old Man Li didn't say much. After all, he was used to being humble. He gave the noble Mr. Xu an abrupt and apologetic smile and stepped back.
"We are destined to meet each other. You can see me off today!" Xu Xiaoshou spoke out and walked towards the carriage without looking back.
The warbler was startled.
Old Man Li reacted quickly and knew who was in charge here. After saying "Hey", he hurriedly ran to the side of the carriage to play with the steps.
He knew that this young master was weak and could not be touched.
Yingying and Que'er looked at each other and walked quickly without saying anything.
"Son."
After helping the sick man into the car.
Queer tilted his head, as if he had received a message. He stood by the carriage and glanced at Old Man Li. After hesitation, he lowered his voice and said, "Ghosts and gods help ghosts to ask for a meeting."
"Let him wait!" Xu Xiaoshou flicked his folding fan and was too lazy to get out of the car.
To be a noble prince is to behave like a noble prince.
The Ghosts and Gods Gang are here to apologize. How can we not dry it out? Otherwise, we won’t be able to get much profit in the future.
Although Xu Xiaoshou also coveted Bamen and Qisu, he could clearly understand the pros and cons between taking the initiative to send someone to his door and being slaughtered, and being passive and waiting for others to come over and give him gifts.
"You two, come up quickly, Old Man Li is waiting for the train to start!"
Old Man Li then invited the two women to get into the car, and while driving the horse, he sighed: "Sir, the ghost face is the big guy yesterday, right? He is a big shot in the dark area of Yujing City!"
Que'er heard this and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
How come this coachman doesn't know the importance of things and dares to say anything?
She pressed the soundproof barrier button on the Xianggui Carriage, trying to isolate the inside and outside so that she could have a good conversation with Mr. Xu.
It turns out that the soundproof barrier of this cinnamon carriage is broken!
Queer almost got up and lost his temper.
Just at this time, the sick man smiled and spoke out, he was gentle and he was not ashamed to ask: "You know all about ghost faces, how much do the ghosts and gods know for you, and can you tell them?"
Que'er also endured it.
Xu Xiaoshou tapped again with his fingers, and the soundproof barrier inside the carriage that he had damaged was restored.
Little people have channels for little people.
Just because Old Man Li could tell the secrets of the New Seven Sword Immortals yesterday, he is useful.
And among these, Yingying Queer has been in the Accord all year round and has come into contact with some elegant people.
The way they obtain information is completely different from that of Old Man Li.
Even under the power of Aunt Xiang, they may only get what Aunt Xiang allows them to know.
Xu Xiao is trusted by Aunt Xiang.
But he was not used to getting information from a single source.
In this huge Jade City, who can ensure that what Auntie Xiang, the sister-in-law of the Ghost and God Gang knows, is only what Dao Qiongcang wants her to know?
"Where are you going, young master?" Old Man Li drove the carriage towards the street and asked the question without answering.
"Three sticks of incense."
"oh."
Old Man Li paused for a moment, then turned the cinnamon carriage around without asking any more questions.
Yingying Que'er subconsciously thought that the three sticks of incense were some kind of bright place that everyone knew about, but when she realized it, her expression changed drastically.
"Young master, do you want to burn three sticks of incense?"
"Um."
"is that one……"
"yes."
The two women suddenly felt as if their chests were blocked by something, and they were choked and unable to speak.
If Mr. Xu was not joking, or did not say the wrong name.
There is only one three-stick incense in Jade City - the Killer Temple!
But that is the ruler of the dark world today.
How can the people who go there be so upright and not allowed to dress up in disguise?
Also, although everyone is guessing that there is a shadow of the Holy Temple behind the three sticks of incense, the Holy Temple has not admitted it.
So this place is not something you can just go to. If you are caught by the Holy Guard, it will be a serious crime.
the most important……
What is Xu Gusheng doing here?
Old man Li actually knows the way?
"Is there any problem?" The sick man shook his fan and glanced at the two women.
He came here to fish today. The bait was himself, and the fish were all the big shots inside and outside Yujing City.
He wanted to see if, after a day of fermentation, Dao Qiongcang could see Xu Gusheng and whether others recognized Xu Xiaoshou.
How will they respond?
And these are directly related to how the Four Elephants Secret Realm will act next.
Yingying Que'er didn't know that much, but after looking at each other, she suddenly felt relieved.
It doesn't seem like there's much of a problem?
The sick young man in front of him just looks weak and dying, but he is a big shot who needs Aunt Xiang to receive him personally.
It seems that it is not a big deal for him to go to Three Sticks of Incense. With his financial resources, maybe he is a regular customer of Three Sticks of Incense and the employer of the killer there!
"it's wired……"
This feeling came over Yingying and Queer at the same time.
Obviously we already know that Xu Gusheng is very powerful, but we always forget all his achievements unconsciously.
It's as if this man is really an ordinary person.
Even if you look away, his presence is so weak that it seems like there are only two people in the carriage.
Back to Basics?
Yingying Que'er doesn't understand, but it feels very powerful.
The carriage was on the right track, and the driver, Old Man Li, started chatting:
"Mr. Xu, I'm not the one who can point the way to the country, but if you ask me, you can really get along in the dark world of Yujing City. Now you only have three sticks of incense and the ghosts and gods, and the others can't be ranked at all."
"But this does not include the two major forces of the bright side, the dark side, and the foreign side. If these two enter the stage, everyone else will have to make concessions, including the two giant Buddhas mentioned above."
Yingyingqueer has become silent.
Even in their eyes, the influence of Yougui Pavilion is actually very great.
But Old Man Li talked eloquently about Mr. Xu's interest, so there was nothing much to say.
"You know a lot." Xu Xiaoshou gently shook his fan, "I heard that there is a holy temple standing behind the three sticks of incense. What do you think?"
"This is an obvious thing. Where can there be room for a little filth under the emperor's feet? So if you say they are clean black, no one will believe it."
"Vulgar opinion." Que'er couldn't help but murmured. She didn't have much evidence to refute it. She simply thought that it was said by a coachman and was not very credible.
Xu Xiaoshou was surprised instead.
Old Man Li has seen much more than most people.
A very simple truth - how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
The Holy Temple can tolerate it, but neither the ANBU nor the aliens can tolerate it.
Xu Xiaoshou couldn't quite understand it before, but now he thought about it with his toes and knew that the three sticks of incense were probably just the pipeline for talents from the Anbu and other departments, and another shady knife in the Holy Temple.
"What do you think about the Ghosts and Gods Gang? Are there anyone from the Holy Temple among them?" Xu Xiaoshou spoke up again.
At this moment, Yingying Que'er's heart trembled for no reason.
They both knew that the Guishen Gang belonged to Shenyi, and Shenyi belonged to Aunt Xiang.
In other words, the Ghosts and Gods Gang are the thugs of Yougui Pavilion who are always on call and will never bite the master's sword.
What does Master Xu mean by this question?
The old man Li who was driving the car said: "Young master is really good at joking. Even three sticks of incense were not spared. Can the Ghost and God Gang still go against the will of God?"
"You fart!" At this time, Yingying couldn't help but cursed.
"Pfft~"
A strange sound came from outside the curtain of the Xianggui Carriage at the right time, and Old Man Li's slanderous voice appeared, "I heard you, I'm so sorry..."
"ordinary man!"
"vulgar!"
The warblers, warblers, and sparrows all got angry at the same time and were about to get up.
But after they tried hard, there seemed to be an invisible ghost inside the carriage, suppressing their legs.
The two women couldn't get up at all!
The sick man was still waving his fan, smiling and saying: "As soon as the power grows, there will be moths. Old Man Li has a profound insight."
"Hey, it's all life experience. In this business, you need to know more about miscellaneous things to make money to support your family!" The old coachman smiled, not paying attention to the anger of the two women. He only had his employer, Mr. Xu, in his heart.
The cinnamon carriage continues to move forward.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Old Man Li suddenly said:
"Sir, there is a girl blocking the way. It seems she is here to see us..."
After a pause, he said doubtfully:
"This girl looks so familiar. Did you meet her once when you went to the city the other day?"
"After that, she seemed to wait outside the Accord all night?"
Xu Xiaoshou's heart moved when he heard this.
Of course he saw Liu Fuyu blocking the road in advance.
But Old Man Li has such a keen eye, can he still remember the hurried passers-by who entered the city in the long queue that day?
"You know her?"
"I met her when we were peeing. I even went up to Lao Litou to say hello. I wanted to ask her to come over and say hello, but I almost said hello to her!"
"who is she?"
"Sir, her outfit is not sexy, she is really a swordsman, what is her name...Liu Fuyu?"
Xu Xiaoshou was confused for a moment. He didn't know whether Old Man Li was pretending or what.
This person really didn't recognize what the three characters "Liu Fuyu" stood for, or did he think he had the same name and the same surname, and didn't even think about the New Seven Swordsmen?
"Go around her."
"oh."
Old Man Li turned the car around without saying a word.
He was very familiar with this scene. The next person blocking the road would inevitably lose sight of his carriage.
Just like when entering the city, Mr. Xu had a way to make the city guards ignore them.
As expected, Liu Fuyu, who was blocking the road, had a trace of doubt in his eyes.
She clearly saw herself waiting for someone to get into the carriage, so she followed.
After following him all the way and confirming his presence, under his own gaze, the carriage disappeared again.
On this long street where there was an endless stream of people passing by, Liu Fuyu didn't hesitate at all. He held the slender sword, cupped his fists, and shouted:
"Jianlou, Liu Fuyu!"
"Can you please show up to see me?"
The noise on the long street died immediately and became silent.
Some people stopped eating, some people turned around, some people stopped haggling...
Everyone's eyes froze and fell on the slim female swordsman.
Who is she talking to?
The female swordsman said nothing, her eyes were unfocused and she did not squint.
She is not embarrassed, but everyone is embarrassed for her.
However, if this kind of thing actually happened, no one would actually come up and ask, "What are you doing?"
Everyone is just afraid that the other person's disease will be transmitted to themselves, so after stopping, everyone goes back to their homes and does their own thing.
Liu Fuyu lost his target again.
On the Xianggui Carriage, Xu Xiaoshou, who had used the Saint Emperor Dragon Scale to achieve the effect of forgetfulness, did not want to come into contact with the sword fairy yet.
He thought about it all the way, but still couldn't figure out what Liu Fuyu's purpose was in looking for him.
But what is certain is that this woman is really stupid and is not the fish she wants to catch in this industry.
"Seven, seven swordsmen?" Yingying Que'er was silent all the way, and it wasn't until the carriage stopped that she spoke uncertainly.
"Yes." Xu Xiaoshou didn't hide anything.
He used his "sense" to see the two women becoming dumbfounded after he finished speaking.
And Old Man Li was still at ease in front of the car, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him and he just wanted to get his employer to his destination.
Even when I heard about the Seven Swordsmen, I could remain calm. Is this also a life experience?
Xu Xiaoshou frowned, got out of the carriage with the help of the two women, and looked up to see a dilapidated grocery store.
"This is an entrance." Old Man Li said, "You don't have to say anything when you go in. Just put in three sticks of incense and the shopkeeper will take you into the black market and go where you want to go."
Yingying Que'er suddenly felt flustered. It was their first time in such a place.
The Killer Temple sounds scary.
"What about you?" Xu Xiaoshou turned around.
"Old man, I'll just wait here for the gentlemen to come out." Old man Li turned around and pointed to the carriage.
Xu Xiaoshou nodded and stepped into the small shop.
But after stepping into the store door, he stopped again, with Yingying on his left arm and Que'er on his right. He turned back and said with a smile:
"Next, I have many friends coming."
"Old man Li, you know so much, do you think they are coming?"
Old Man Li had already sat back on the carriage. He scratched his head when he heard the sound: "Master Xu, this is a very serious question. How can I know where your friend is, Mr. Li?"
"But don't you have a lot of life experience?"
"Well, Mr. Xu, tell me, where do your friends come from?"
"Eastern Region."
"Eastern Region? So far away? Then maybe they are still far away at this moment!"
