Ke Yue Lou is not the most expensive store in Luoyang, but it is the store that Huang Xiaoshi is most familiar with.
Every time a caravan comes to visit Shennong Baicaomen, they will eat mutton pot to wash away the dust. It can be said that the reason why this store can open so big is that Shennong Baicaomen provides most of the turnover.
Therefore, a private room was specially reserved for Huang Xiaoshi in the cleanest place on the second floor of the Ke Yue Building, and Master Huang was always available.
Following Huang Xiaoshi into the Ke Yue Building, Lu Shaolin handed the two horses to the waiter.
Nowadays, you can ride a horse to a restaurant to have a meal, and the scene is just like driving a luxury car in later generations, which is no worse than riding a sedan.
You know, the cost of raising a good horse is no less than raising two people, and special breeds of horses are a symbol of status. So Guo Jing, who was dressed like a country bumpkin, rode a little red horse through the market, and was immediately attracted by Huang Rong.
Already.
When we arrived at the private room, the waiter served a pot of tea and then went to work. There were only two people in the private room, Huang Xiaoshi and Lu Shaolin.
Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Shaolin suddenly changed his face towards Huang Xiaoshi. His face was full of anxiety and he said: "Master Huang, I have something important that I need your help with right now."
After speaking, Lu Shaolin didn't say anything more. He put a small gadget on the table, then pressed it and pushed it to Huang Xiaoshi's eyes.
When Lu Shaolin moved his hand away, Huang Xiaoshi took a look. It was a small iron plate engraved with complex patterns.
Lu Shaolin is a member of King Cheng.
Huang Xiaoshi nodded.
No wonder Lu Shaolin felt like seeing a relative when he saw him. It turned out that he was indeed one of his own.
Lu Shaolin took out another thing and put it on the table. Huang Xiaoshi took a look and saw that it was also an iron plate, but slightly larger.
There is no complicated pattern on this iron plate, but there are two words engraved on the front: Dongchang.
Huang Xiaoshi really didn't expect that this Lu Shaolin would actually be an ace spy with a dual identity.
This kid can do it.
Lu Shaolin was King Cheng's chess piece to break into Dongchang. Although he had no external position in Dongchang, he had a wide network of connections.
Let's put it this way, Lu Shaolin got a lot of Huang Xiaoshi's information and then passed it on to Bai Jiuchi.
Therefore, Lu Shaolin knew Huang Xiaoshi well. It can also be said that the more he knew about Huang Xiaoshi, the more Lu Shaolin admired Huang Xiaoshi.
The person who can be favored by Mr. Bai is indeed an extraordinary person.
However, Bai Jiuchi's information transmission was all one-way, so Lu Shaolin only knew some of Huang Xiaoshi's deeds, but did not know Huang Xiaoshi's deeper hidden identity.
Otherwise, Lu Shaolin might have to kneel down to eat today's meal.
After his identity was revealed, everyone did not hide their words. Then Lu Shaolin took off his coat, then opened his clothes, and saw a purple and black palm print on his heart.
"Brother Huang, something big happened." Lu Shaolin said to Huang Xiaoshi, "You must find someone for me right away. The sooner the better."
Huang Xiaoshi said nothing.
Lu Shaolin said: "This matter still has something to do with you."
"Huh?" Huang Xiaoshi didn't even know where this flying pot came from.
I've been behaving myself lately, being honest and doing nothing.
After Lu Shaolin arranged his clothes and put away the two iron plaques, he said to Huang Xiaoshi: "The battle outside Hangzhou City was still not overturned in the end. This matter has been raised to the sky. The emperor knows about it.
Now, the emperor is ordering Jinyiwei and Dongchang to investigate the battle outside Hangzhou city. All the beggars in Hangzhou city have been arrested.
Actually, I am not here to transport goods this time, but to investigate the case together with my colleagues.
One person traced a clue and traced it to the head of Tiangangmen.
This man's name is Ding Hong, he is a spy stationed by Jinyiwei in Dongchang. His public identity on weekdays is that he is the escort of my Jinfeng Escort Bureau. In fact, he is above me in Dongchang.
This morning, Ding Hong found out something. He asked me to leave immediately and return to Hangzhou with him.
Because we were in a hurry and it would be faster to take the land route, we did not take the boat.
While resting in the woods, I sneak attacked him.
This guy was pretty good at martial arts. He gave me a slap in the face after being slashed by me about ten times, and then he fled into the dense forest and disappeared.
I picked up a Jin Yiwei brand from something he dropped from his arms, and then I found out that he was actually a double agent from Jin Yiwei."
After saying that, Lu Shaolin took out the third iron plate from his arms, and saw a deep knife mark on the iron plate.
If the iron plate hadn't blocked the knife, Ding Hong would have been hacked to death by Lu Shaolin.
"I have sent someone to notify Tiangangmen, but since Ding Hong has found Tiangangmen, he must not dare to enter the city.
Moreover, he suffered such a severe stab wound, so he must find a way to stop the bleeding.
Your Shennong Baicaomen is selling gold sore medicine. Can you help me check which places are selling gold sore medicine today?
I need to find Ding Hong immediately."
After saying this, Lu Shaolin let out a long sigh and said to Huang Xiaoshi: "As for what happened after killing him, I have my own way to explain it.
Ding Hong is a spy planted by Jinyiwei. For this reason alone, his death would be a shame."
After hearing what Lu Shaolin said, Huang Xiaoshi was a little speechless.
Not to mention that the relationship between Jin Yiwei and Dongchang is a bit messy. This double agent went to kill another double agent in the name of "cleaning up the family" for his real master.
This itself is a black humor.
After the two people finished talking, but before the mutton pot came up, Huang Xiaoshi said to Lu Shaolin: "Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
Turning around, Huang Xiaoshi walked out of the door.
Standing outside the door, Huang Xiaoshi pondered for a while. The current problem was a bit tricky, and he would need to seriously think about several issues in the future.
The first is his relationship with King Cheng.
The second is his relationship with the Tianlong Sect.
The third is the relationship between oneself and other forces.
Huang Xiaoshi let out a long sigh.
The more boats there are under your feet, the easier it is to fall into the water.
However, I'm afraid it's a bit late to say that I'm going to stop now.
This man wanders around the world and can't help himself.
Huang Xiaoshi returned to Shennong Baicaomen with an inexplicable sense of loss that "the car of history rolled forward and knocked me into the gutter."
After a while, Huang Xiaoshi came back, but the mutton pot hadn't been served yet.
The food in this restaurant is really slow. After all, the mutton pot takes a long time to cook well, and you usually have to make a reservation in advance to eat the pot.
Huang Xiaoshi brought Lu Shaolin here today, not to eat pot, but because he has his own private room here, and the confidentiality of the conversation is good.
Huang Xiaoshi returned to the private room. Lu Shaolin was drinking from a small cup and eating some hot dishes that had just been served. It seemed that he was also very hungry.
As soon as Lu Shaolin saw Huang Xiaoshi, he immediately asked: "How is it? Have you found it?"
Huang Xiaoshi shook his head and said: "No golden sore medicine was sold today."
The sales volume of Golden Sore Medicine was very high when it was first released, but after a period of time, sales volume will tend to level off.
After all, people don’t get stabbed every day, and even after getting stabbed, there are still stocks. It’s impossible to say that people only run to buy life-saving medicine after being stabbed.
Huang Xiaoshi asked and found that none of the street stalls in and outside the city sold gold sore medicine today.
After Lu Shaolin thought for a while, he said to Huang Xiaoshi: "Ding Hong knows that I am looking for him, he is probably still hiding in the woods.
I'm afraid Ding Hong has used some method I don't know to contact Jin Yiwei, and he just needs to hide and wait for reinforcements to arrive."
After saying that, Lu Shaolin stood up and said to Huang Xiaoshi: "Thank you Brother Huang for the food and wine. I will come to you for a drink next time."
Lu Shaolin picked up the long knife on the table and pushed out the door. Huang Xiaoshi didn't say much, such as "I'm here to help you" or something like that.
I really can't mix it up anymore.
This matter can only be left to Lu Shaolin to handle. No matter what the consequences are, it would be better for Huang Xiaoshi than getting involved himself.
Because if Huang Xiaoshi went to stir things up, he might be on the line with Dongchang again.
There aren't too many boats under Huang Xiaoshi's feet now.
…
Lu Shaolin's journey of dozens of miles was not in vain. He followed Huang Xiaoshi to Luoyang so that he could know the most accurate news as soon as possible and then make the next judgment.
Now that Ding Hong's location has been determined, it is very simple now, just find him.
When Lu Shaolin walked outside the restaurant and was about to lead the horse, he saw a beggar.
…
After Lu Shaolin left, Huang Xiaoshi sat down by himself. He took a pair of clean chopsticks and ate all the plates of hot dishes and wine by himself.
Then a large pot of mutton was finally served. When the waiter opened the door, Huang Xiaoshi was the only one in the private room.
"Waiter, please send me the mutton pot to Shennong Baicaomen. Are there any pancakes? Bring them all to me."
The guys have been working hard lately, and this pot of mutton is just the right meat for everyone.
Huang Xiaoshi returned to the house in the small courtyard, and Lao Zhang and the other three were still there.
The food on the table was finally eaten, and there was still a lot of wine left.
When they saw Huang Xiaoshi coming back, the three of them stood up quickly.
After Huang Xiaoshi let out a long sigh, he walked to the bench in front of the table and sat down, while Lao Zhang and the other three stood beside him, not daring to sit down. They waited for Huang Xiaoshi's announcement without daring to express their anger.
All three people in this room are at fault.
Ma Erwa stopped talking, Huang Xiaoshi had already had murderous intentions towards him.
Lao Xu secretly delegated purchasing power to others and later relaxed his supervision, which led to great disaster.
Lao Zhang is not strict in auditing. He has been doing the accounting for so long and has never seen any problems.
After Huang Xiaoshi was silent for a while, he finally said: "Lao Xu, tomorrow you will start a handover with Lao Zhang, hand over all the matters in hand, withdraw 30% of the shares in your hand, and return to Shuzhong to retire."
"Yes, Master Shi." Xu Youcai felt really bad when he heard this, but he also knew that this was already an extremely polite act by Huang Xiaoshi. If it were Gong Guangjie, he would definitely skin him.
"Old Zhang, I won't say anything else to you. I will fine you one month's salary. If you make such a big mistake in the future, I want you to settle it yourself."
"I understand." Lao Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ma Erwa." Huang Xiaoshi said to Ma Erwa, "Do you know how big the crime you committed is?"
Ma Erwa plopped down on the ground in front of Huang Xiaoshi and kept kowtowing.
"Do you know why I didn't kill you today?" Huang Xiaoshi said to Ma Erwa: "It's not that I'm in a good mood, but that I'm in a bad mood. I want to lift you to the dock and cut you in half with a knife.
Hang it on a pole and expose your body again!"
This last sentence was said through gritted teeth.
Huang Xiaoshi was indeed in a bad mood because he found that the bondage between Shennong Baicaomen and King Cheng was very deep.
Regardless of whether he wants it or not, Shennong Baicaomen has already boarded King Cheng's ship.
Once you get on the boat, you can't get off.
Originally, what Huang Xiaoshi had been pursuing was to prevent Shennong Baicaomen from participating in the rebellion launched by King Cheng, but now it has completely failed.
No matter whether Shennong Baicaomen is weak or strong, it cannot escape the general trend.
Why did Tiangangmen dare to sell thousands of kilograms of private salt to Shennong Baicaomen?
That’s not because they are all “ourselves,” right?
Because he figured this out, Huang Xiaoshi didn't kill Ma Erwa.
When there was no point in killing Ma Erwa, Huang Xiaoshi didn't like killing people indiscriminately.
After all, Ma Erwa is his protégé, and he is the younger brother he recruited. Who can bear to see their family crying to death?
Huang Xiaoshi felt that he was also a lunatic. He did great evil without blinking an eye, but he also sincerely did some small kindness.
No, this is not crazy, but Huang Xiaoshi is very disappointed with himself.
Why are you disappointed? It's because although Huang Xiaoshi understands the nature of the world, his actions are not completely in compliance with rational judgment.
Huang Xiaoshi told himself countless times that in this world, you are just a [game player] who has no feelings.
Everything is a resource that can be used, and everything is data without emotion. You have to use your strength to squeeze the most out of NPCs, in order to ensure that your own interests are maximized.
What is the "Fourth Natural Disaster"?
The vast majority of players will find ways to kill NPCs in the game simply because they "find it fun" and "want to give it a try".
When Huang Xiaoshi was in elementary school, his classmates liked playing GTA the most in the Internet cafe.
After entering GTA, this classmate skillfully entered various password commands, and then used various weapons obtained by opening the cheat code to massacre passers-by.
After burning and killing hundreds of NPCs with a flamethrower, the classmate suddenly said excitedly to Huang Xiaoshi sitting next to him: "I found that the fat man ran further when he lit the fire."
Therefore, Huang Xiaoshi also watched with great interest as his classmates manipulated game characters and used flamethrowers to light up pedestrians on the street into burning people one after another.
"Look, I said that right?"
"Wow, it's true."
This is the true [player] mentality.
According to this requirement, Huang Xiaoshi is simply unqualified, and Fang Yunhua is even more of a loser who cannot recognize his own identity.
Talking about money hurts feelings, talking about feelings hurts money.
If you want to maximize your interests, you must abandon useless emotions.
This is an example Huang Xiaoshi observed from his parents’ family history. His parents are big players in life online.
In this world, all [goodness] and all [good reputation] are just a packaging, a personality, a need, not a stance.
Huang Xiaoshi only has one position, that of himself. At most, he only cares about the favor of his fellow villagers, which covers Fang Yunhua.
Everything else is a resource.
Nothing in this world is your final destination.
Go home, think more about going home.
…
Hearing Huang Xiaoshi's gritted teeth, Ma Erwa was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, shaking all over.
After a while, Huang Xiaoshi sighed and said: "There are two ways for you now. One is to go to Hangzhou with Mr. Lu and don't let me see you again. Or, I will send you to the well right now.
.”
Is there any choice? Ma Erwa immediately said excitedly: "Master Shi, I'm going to Hangzhou, I'm going to Hangzhou!"
"Okay, that's it. I'll let you go home today, and I'll take you to the dock tomorrow." After Huang Xiaoshi finished speaking, he got up and left.
Back in the bedroom next door, Huang Xiaoshi was sitting on the bed and running his exercises. He was thinking about what he needed to do in this chaotic situation.
As for Ma Erwa, Huang Xiaoshi was going to take him to the dock and throw him to Lu Shaolin.
When Mr. Lu arrived in Hangzhou, he threw Ma Erwa to the Sea Shark Gang and let him float on the sea for the rest of his life.
If he managed to make it ashore alive, it was this guy's good fortune. If he died in a bloody battle with the Japanese pirates, it would be regarded as having done his part.
As for the private salt matter, Huang Xiaoshi planned to talk to Jiang Yu directly.
Shennong Baicaomen cannot use private salt, as it is too easy for the government to find out.
Once a thoughtful person calculates the amount of salt purchased and shipped by Shennong Baicaomen, they can clear the inventory in a short period of time to cover up the situation, but over time they will be exposed.
There is no need to mess up the overall situation for this small amount of money.
Huang Xiaoshi sat on the bed and ran his internal energy over and over again. He liked this simple and happy mechanical movement.
Today, Huang Xiaoshi wants to advance to a higher level. He has a feeling that he will make a breakthrough today.
Late at night, Huang Xiaoshi's [Shadowless Glass Skill] was upgraded.
[Phaseless Glazed Kung Fu] has been practiced to level 8, and Huang Xiaoshi's character level has also been upgraded to 42.
As expected by Huang Xiaoshi, he obtained the third special effect through practicing [Phaseless Glazed Technique].
[Nowhere]: Use internal force to offset 30% of the damage.
This is a very powerful passive skill, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a divine skill.
However, Huang Xiaoshi has completely used [Qi and Blood Value] to offset the damage, so for him, this special effect is of little use.
Even Huang Xiaoshi felt that it was a bit of a loss to replace the qi and blood values with more precious internal force values.
Huang Xiaoshi, who was full of hope, was disappointed. He fully thought that he would get a more powerful special effect to further improve his abilities.
As a result, this special effect can only be described in words.
In Huang Xiaoshi's estimation, this is the last time that his ability will be greatly improved after obtaining [Small Phaseless Skill]. After that, even if he practices [Shadowless Glass Skill] to Lv10, it will probably increase by one or two levels.
There will be another qualitative leap.
Huang Xiaoshi is now using his brain to figure out where to get a super first-rate technique.
Originally, I expected Fang Yunhua to deceive Azhong, but now such a mess in the northwest is really not as good as God.
Or, can I use King Cheng's power to get Jiang Tianxiong to hand over the [Tiangang Wuji Kung Fu]?
This is a new approach that you can think about carefully.
This time, I can take advantage of the private relationship and go to Jiang Yu to find out.
