Chapter 211 Brother Hu wants to drink, now you can
The decision was made, and of course Zhuo Mufeng would not be polite: "Brother Hu, you and I are brothers of the same mind, and we are as sharp as gold. How can Zhuo let you take risks alone?"
When Hu Lai heard this, he was lying if he said he was not disappointed. He could only smile but said: "I, Hu Lai, are truly lucky to know Mr. Zhuo."
The situation is urgent. One more minute of delay will mean more competition in Meijian Town.
Zhuo Mufeng first informed the Mozhu Gang that he would enter Nuanyang Mountain and practice hard in seclusion, and no one could disturb him.
Later, in order to avoid being noticed by the Sanjiang League, he asked Hu Lai to put on makeup, which soon turned him into a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion.
The two immediately agreed on a meeting place, and Hu Lai left first. After realizing that there was no one in the yard, Zhuo Mufeng closed the doors and windows tightly, opened the bed board, and entered the tunnel.
Outside the east gate of Gusu City, Zhuo Mufeng and Hu Lai each rode a horse and galloped away, quickly blending into the already dusty officialdom with many Jianghu people.
And just before Zhuo Mufeng and his two men set off, seven horses quickly left the city gate, and it was Wu Yuanyuan and her party.
Afraid that her father would use despicable means, the princess of the Sanjiang League simply refused to leave alone. In addition, the situation was urgent, so the seven of them discussed it and rushed to Meijian Town immediately.
When Wu Guanting heard the news, he could only slam the table angrily and cursed three times for being an unworthy woman.
…
It takes more than half a month to get from Gusu City to Meijian Town.
Along the way, Zhuo Mufeng and Hu Lai saw all kinds of people from all walks of life. Wherever they rested, they could hear discussions about Tianfu at any time.
This matter has spread all over the world, and it is said that even the Jianghu sects in the four kingdoms of Zhongzhou, Western Chu, Northern Qi, and Southern Wu are watching the news, and they have the intention of coming to investigate.
This evening.
After running around for days, the two of them entered a dilapidated inn. Zhuo Mufeng didn't want to stop, but Hu Lai shouted that his body couldn't bear it and had to take a rest.
The waiter skillfully served two large plates of beef and two jugs of fine wine. In a small shop outside the city, these are already delicacies that are readily available.
Hu Lai grabbed the beef and gnawed it. He raised his head and drank wine. He quickly finished his food like a storm, and then grabbed the plate and wine bottle in front of Zhuo Mufeng.
Seeing this, Zhuo Mufeng shook his head and continued to eat and drink slowly.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Hu Lai, who was burping and picking his teeth, suddenly turned pale, clutched his stomach and screamed in pain. He threw off the wine table and shouted angrily: "Boss Zhuo, be careful, the food and wine are poisonous!
"
Zhuo Mufeng quickly looked to the side.
The waiter, who was groveling before, now had a proud look on his face. The shopkeeper sitting behind the counter also had a strange smile on his face and said calmly: "You two gentlemen, you have had enough wine and food, it's time to go on your way."
Snapped!
He flicked the abacus beads.
Hu Lai, who was poisoned, turned pale and rushed towards the waiter. He raised his hand and punched the waiter, but was kicked to the ground by the waiter and vomited blood at the mouth.
Zhuo Mufeng also took action at this time. He raised his sword and struck with an invisible edge.
The waiter's expression changed drastically as he was about to resist, and he hurriedly stepped away. Two rows of tables and wooden stools were sliced open by the sword energy. The unfinished sword energy rubbed against the ground, and clusters of sparks burst out and flew around.
Zhuo Mufeng flew up, used two swords in succession, and cut off the waiter's hat and a large section of his hair one after another, causing the waiter to retreat in panic.
When it came to the third sword, Zhuo Mufeng saw the opportunity and was about to kill the opponent with one sword. The shopkeeper who had been watching for a long time suddenly took action, and three internal forces spurted out. He should be a true third-level warrior.
Normally, Zhuo Mufeng could easily deal with the opponent. But at this time, he was completely powerless, and his continuous moves made him stagger, and he turned around and wanted to rush out of the store.
"You want to leave, can you?"
The shopkeeper sneered, grabbed the tables, chairs and benches and threw them at them. After slightly blocking Zhuo Mufeng's actions, he jumped up and punched Zhuo Mufeng in the abdomen while Zhuo Mufeng was unable to respond.
Zhuo Mufeng groaned, and after the others rolled around a few times, he passed out.
"Huh, it's so dangerous. If this guy hadn't been poisoned, his life would have been decided. My boss, why don't you give him to me and chop him into pieces to make steamed buns."
The waiter touched his head with lingering fear, looked at Zhuo Mufeng on the ground, and said fiercely.
The shopkeeper said: "This person has been controlled by us, why are you so anxious?"
The waiter giggled.
At this moment, Hu Lai, who was lying on the ground unconscious, suddenly stood up, pointed at the waiter and shouted: "Xiao Lei, why did you kick me so hard just now? Did you want to kick me to death?"
The waiter said innocently: "Uncle Hu, didn't you say you had to fake it to deceive this guy?"
Hu Lai stepped forward to teach him a lesson, but the shopkeeper stopped him: "Brother Hu, please stop making trouble. Xiaolei and I will strictly follow your instructions after receiving your message.
For this reason, we closed the store a few days early to drive away customers, and we lost a lot of business. What should we do now? Xiaolei and I will listen to you."
Hearing this, Hu Lai was too embarrassed to do anything. Instead, he smiled and said: "I know that Brother Chen and Xiao Lei are righteous. After this time, I will invite you to the best brothel to enjoy it."
After appeasing his accomplices, Hu Lai immediately walked towards Zhuo Mufeng and groped for a moment on his body. Suddenly his movements froze, his face lit up, he turned his hand and found half a key in his palm.
"Boss Zhuo, Boss Zhuo, I didn't want to either, but who made you refuse to cooperate and hand over the keys? Brother, I had no choice but to make this move, don't blame me."
Hu Lai sighed, put the key away proudly, stood up and backed away.
Chen Shouyi and Xiao Lei walked up, and the shopkeeper nodded his chin: "I'll tell you how to deal with this guy, whether to kill him or to chop him into pieces."
Hu Lai pondered for a moment and said: "No matter what the purpose was, he saved my life. It's not good to be a bad person. Let's lock him up for a while and let him go after the limelight has passed."
Chen Shouyi curled his lips, but this was what he admired most about Hu Lai. If it weren't for this kind of character with a clear sense of grudges, the two would not have known each other.
Chen Shouyi signaled, and Xiao Lei clicked on Zhuo Mufeng's acupuncture points and carried him to the backyard.
After Hu Lai got the other half of the key, he was naturally excited and did not dare to delay. He immediately said goodbye. He did not forget to tell Chen Shouyi and Xiao Lei to pay attention to the Sanjiang Alliance and find a way to let Zhuo Mufeng go without leaving any clues.
So as not to leave any future troubles.
Chen Shouyi smiled and nodded.
As they rode on the road, Hu Lai walked away humming a song and laughing.
After a day and night, he came to a forest outside Baiyuan City. After looking around and seeing no trace of anyone, he quickly approached a small tree full of mottled marks and patted it with his hands.
Half of the trunk was actually hollow, and a long tube popped out. After crushing it, the other half of the black key fell into Hu Lai's palm.
"Hey, hey, Lu Suwen, Zhuo Mufeng, you can't beat me. Just take your time and rest. When I get a great opportunity, I might even treat you to a drink."
"Why wait so long? Brother Hu wants to drink it, he can drink it now."
Suddenly, thunder exploded, and a very familiar voice rushed into Hu Lai's ears.
Hu Lai's hair stood on end. Before he could react, his whole body was kicked away. The keys in his hands and body were sucked away, and fell firmly into the hands of another person.
The man stood in the sunlight that penetrated the gaps in the leaves, with a half-smiling expression on his face. He was not Zhuo Mufeng.
