Chapter 114 The enemy of your enemy is the best partner for cooperation
The reason why Selangor is called Selangor is not because it often snows, but because of a plant called edelweiss.
The propagation method is similar to dandelions, but the growth method is similar to moss. Whether it is a tile or a wall, as long as it is attached to the edge, a large area can grow in a few days. It is not afraid of cold or heat and can be found in all seasons.
However, this thing is not only harmless, but can also be used as tea and medicine. It is like a gift from God to the people of Selangor.
Only wealthy families who don't care about petty profits would hire people to sweep away the edelweiss to reveal the original color of the building and highlight their status.
Especially Shuanghuafu City.
As the center of power in the province, there is almost no presence of Edelweiss in the city.
Even the Taiping Road branch church is like this.
Jimin Medical Workshop.
A middle-aged man with a majestic body and unusual clothes stepped in.
The strange thing is that this middle-aged man covered his eyes with a piece of black satin.
"Master, what kind of medicine do you want to grab?"
The pharmacy clerk's eyes lit up and he came forward with a smile.
"I don't buy medicine."
The middle-aged man shook his head, took out a fiery red rhizome-like plant, flashed it in front of the waiter and put it in his arms, "I am in urgent need of money. I have tried several shops but I don't know anyone. You can report it to your shopkeeper. If he agrees,
I have to forget it."
"...This is good."
The surprise and greed in the waiter's eyes flashed away, "Just wait a moment."
After saying that, he winked at the other guys, then raised the curtain and entered the back hall.
Not long after, the clerk found the slightly fat shopkeeper in the study: "Sir, there is a man outside who wants to sell medicine. It's Chifugen."
"Chifugen?"
The shopkeeper frowned and said, "Chifu root is not an ordinary great medicine. Even if it is the eighth to ninth level of awakening, it only takes one to break through... What else did he say?"
"Come back to your lord, that man said he needed money urgently and found a few houses but didn't sell them. If we can't recognize them, forget it."
The waiter replied in a deep voice, with no emotion on his face, "He covered his eyes with black satin. It must be a new injury. I'm afraid that's why he needs money urgently."
"Is this so..."
The shopkeeper pondered for a long time, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's just a red root. It's an extraordinary period right now, so it's better not to attract attention. You just said I didn't recognize it and asked him to go to another house and ask again."
"yes."
The man cupped his fists and bowed, with joy flashing in his eyes.
"The visitor is a guest, why should we reject people thousands of miles away?"
A faint voice suddenly sounded beside the two of them.
The blind middle-aged man just appeared in the study.
"you!"
The waiter had a look of shock on his face and was interrupted by the shopkeeper as soon as he spoke.
"How can you address your distinguished guest like this?"
The shopkeeper feigned anger and waved his hand, "Get out of here."
The guy rolled away and crawled away.
"I wonder how you would like to address your distinguished guest?"
The shopkeeper handed over his hand and asked, "Can I have a closer look at that medicinal plant?"
"Okay, I'm not here to sell medicine."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, "I want to see your hall master."
"Hall Master?"
An imperceptible shock flashed through the shopkeeper's eyes, and he said with a smile: "I am afraid that your distinguished guest has come to the wrong place. There is no position of hall master in the medicine shop."
"In seven days, 477 people entered the drug store and 474 people left the drug store. However, the number of clerks, accountants and other miscellaneous staff in the drug store continued to increase or decrease."
The middle-aged man said in a calm tone, "Why, did you use those three people to refine the medicine?"
"you……"
The shopkeeper's face turned cold, "Who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am."
The middle-aged man took a step forward, "But I have already seen from your actions just now that the bookshelf behind you is the entrance to the secret passage...either die or get out of the way."
As soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably ferocious killing intent came out of his body.
The shopkeeper's soul flew into the sky.
He swore that he had never seen such violent killing intent in his life. Not even mentioning his actions, as long as he showed the slightest bit of resistance, he would probably die.
Therefore, the shopkeeper quickly got out of the way.
Not only that, but he also said quickly: "The book "The Theory of Medicine and Poison" in the middle of the second bookshelf, turn to the left three times."
"Um."
The middle-aged man restrained his murderous intention and did as he was told.
Click, click, click...
With a slight sound of the machine turning, the bookshelf dented inward.
A deep passage diagonally downward appeared on the vacated ground.
"Keep here and if the cooperation is achieved, you will get a lot of benefits."
The middle-aged man turned around and said something, then stepped down directly.
cooperate?
The shopkeeper was excited, his fear gradually dissipated and turned into ecstasy.
After restoring the secret passage to its original state, the shopkeeper went to the corner, pulled out the unknown plant from the vase, and then said a few words to the mouth of the vase respectfully.
…
…
The blind old man was none other than Xu Chong, who had changed his appearance with phaseless clothes.
Even Dou Tianyuan concluded that he could not kill Xie Changqing, why did he persist?
Naturally, it’s because of Taiping Road.
Although he had no favorable impression of Taiping Dao, at least they were highly consistent in wanting Xie Changqing to die.
The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend, but it must be the best partner to cooperate with.
So he came to Selangor and spent a lot of time to find the Taiping Dao branch church.
"Hopefully I can get some useful information."
Xu Chong didn't hide his whereabouts, and just walked down the steps with a heavy step.
The main road of the underground palace is only one foot wide, but there are corridors on the left and right extending out, leading to unknown places.
It is estimated that it is either an office space, a residence for personnel, or some other access channel.
Xu Chong didn't turn around, and just went straight forward.
The people below must have gotten the news, and no minions jumped out and shouted to kill.
In this way, Xu Chong went all the way to the bottom.
A square underground hall, the layout is no different from an ordinary living room, except that there is no light and there are no flowers and plants.
In the center sits a tall man with a beard, an old woman in sackcloth on the lower left, and an extremely beautiful woman on the lower right.
There were only four people in the hall, and the three sitting ones obviously had higher status.
But Xu Chong's eyes stayed more on the standing person.
Snow white long skirt with tulle cover.
Sun Yourong.
"Are you pretending to be blind just to make it easier for you to glance around?"
The old woman spoke gloomily, her facial features looking extremely terrifying under the light.
Xu Chong nodded with satisfaction.
This is what a rebel should look like.
"Master South Hall, please be patient."
The bearded man comforted the old woman and looked at Xu Chong: "You said you want to cooperate with us, what cooperation?"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, the big man with the curly beard seemed to have been punched, and he was sent flying sideways, knocking over a brazier in the corner.
"When guests come, they don't know how to give up their seats. It's really disrespectful."
Xu Chong clapped his hands and sat down on the main seat.
"!!!"
The remaining three people didn't react until now, and they were all horrified.
They were completely unable to see the scene just now!
What is this concept?!
People in Taiping Dao have the habit of hiding part of their realm, and they do not know each other's fundamentals.
But this kind of hiding can never be too much.
In other words, even if the bearded man was not the strongest among them, he was not much different from them.
A blindfolded man can actually beat up a bearded man with ease?
The old woman and the woman exchanged glances and quickly made a decision.
A joint attack, no matter whether it is successful or not, retreat immediately, and one of them will be able to escape.
However, just as they were about to take action, the call of the bearded man came.
"slow!."
The big man with beard stepped back and blocked the two of them, "Your Excellency, you spared your hand. I was not injured."
Hearing this, both the old woman and the woman froze.
At that speed, it can still ensure that no one is harmed at all and can only be beaten out.
That means killing is just a simple matter.
"May I ask if you have any advice?"
The bearded man raised his fist towards Xu Chong.
"No rush."
Xu Chong knocked on the armrest of the seat and said, "Please introduce yourself."
This attitude of being anti-customer is indeed a bit disrespectful.
If placed in the court, no matter how strong you are, it will make people resentful.
But this is the Way of Peace.
It is only natural that the strong be respected.
So a few people didn't have any dissatisfaction.
"I am Zheng Wu, the master of the Xuezhou branch of Taiping Road. I am from the Zheng family."
After the bearded man finished speaking, he took the initiative to introduce others, "This is the head of the Wuzhou branch, Nan Hongzhi, who is from the Nan family, one of the six major families. This is Hua Nongyue, the head of the Yongzhou branch.
, this is Yi Rong, a descendant of Taoism in white clothes, both of whom are from the Hua family of the six major families."
"..."
Xu Chong was speechless and asked: "Why don't you make up some fake names?"
All he wanted to know was the identities of these people, their names didn't matter, and it wasn't about making friends.
But I didn't expect...
The two names "Hua Nongyue" and "Sun Yourong" are enough to prove that the other two are also real names.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare."
Zheng Wu said bluntly, "We don't know your details, and we don't know if you know our details. It would be too unworthy to lose our lives over such a trivial matter as our name."
"Okay, that makes sense."
Xu Chong nodded and suddenly said: "I am a member of the imperial court, so I won't tell you my identity. If I tell you, it would be a lie."
Several people had expected this and were not surprised.
There are only one or two people who interact with the imperial court and Taiping Road. Most of them choose to hide their identities. Even if they can't hide it, they won't leave any traces that can prove their identity.
"Can you tell me what you were discussing before?"
Xu Chong chuckled, "It's probably not a trivial matter for the three hall masters to gather together."
Zheng Wu and others looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Let me guess."
Xu Chong knocked on the armrest again, "You are looking for a way to kill Xie Changqing, right?"
Several people were horrified!
"take it easy."
Xu Chong raised his lips, "I have the same goal as you - to kill Xie Changqing!"
"this……"
Several people looked at each other again, all looking disbelieving.
"Please forgive the offence, little girl."
Hua Nongyue spoke with a clear and sweet voice, "We are really trying to get rid of Xie Changqing and then try to find out the information from some officials in the DPRK and China."
"But the problem is that the imperial court attaches too much importance to Xie Changqing... This has led to officials from the DPRK and China who have had contact with us in the past to not dare to reveal anything about this matter."
"In fact, many people have cut off all contact with Taiping Road. Under such circumstances, the young lady does not think that anyone in the court would dare to kill Xie Changqing."
After a pause, Hua Nongyue's beautiful eyes fell on Xu Chong's face: "In other words, a little girl cannot trust adults."
"oh?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows.
Zheng Wu was afraid that Hua Nongyue would offend Xu Chong, so he quickly added: "Actually, there were one or two people who provided information about Xie Changqing, but they were all useless and could not find any flaws in Xie Changqing."
"More than that."
Nan Hongzhi nodded, "Even one of the fourth-rank officials was executed by the imperial court just because he leaked a little bit of useless information."
"That's it...that's all."
Xu Chong pondered for a moment, shook his head, and reached out to untie the black satin covering his eyes.
