'Pei Yuan Dan', 'Tiger Blood Zhuang Yuan Powder', 'Yu Qing Powder', 'Shen Chan Pills', 'Xiao Zai Hua Dan', etc., the smells that Jason is familiar with, and there are also many flavors that Jason is not familiar with in Hongxiangfang.
permeated.
Like smoke and mist.
Standing in the shadows, Jason couldn't help but take a deep breath.
'It smells so good!'
In his heart, Jason admired.
Then, looking at Hongxiangfang, some guesses emerged.
Hong Xiangfang has never had so many fragrances before.
And now it exists, naturally because of Cui Longnu, the daughter of the ‘big dragon head’ Cui Longwang.
In addition, this pervasive feeling is not the smell of the so-called 'secret medicine' itself, but a long-term contamination feeling, as if it has been marinated.
Alchemist!
Jason's eyes lit up instantly.
After a period of time, Jason had a fairly good understanding of the copy world in front of him.
If warriors are rare, then alchemists are even rarer.
Warriors need talent and money.
The same goes for alchemists.
Moreover, the money required is far beyond that of a warrior.
In the eyes of ordinary people, a warrior is the home of Zhongding, but when looking at an alchemist with a warrior's eyes, he feels like a poor person.
Because every alchemist needs a long period of training to achieve success.
Take the most basic ‘Pei Yuan Dan’ as an example.
If an alchemist wants to be proficient in it, he needs to practice it at least a hundred times. After a hundred times, he is just familiar with it. Not every alchemy can be successful.
Therefore, behind every alchemist, there is either a big family or a big power.
'That 'Big Dragon Head' is really lucky and a big deal.'
Jason admired.
Having the talent for alchemy is enough to surprise people, but what is really surprising is that he is willing to contribute to it, and this is before he is developed.
It was not smooth sailing when 'Big Dragon Head' Cui Longwang founded the 'Sihai Gang'. He also encountered many twists and turns. In the beginning, even in the beginning, it was barely possible to say that it was a small matter, and there was no scene like his Mu style martial arts hall.
big.
But under such a premise, the other party actually trained his daughter to become an alchemist, which is enough to see the foresight and tenacity of the other party.
The subsequent development of the "Sihai Gang", apart from the efforts of the "big leader" Cui Longwang himself, Cui Longnu's "secret medicine" also played an indispensable role.
'No wonder Hongxiangfang has become the money bag of the Sihai Gang.'
‘It’s no wonder that the Sihai Gang has developed so rapidly in recent years.’
As for the price of the 'secret medicine', Jason already knew very well how much profit a Red Incense Factory that could steadily produce the 'secret medicine' could generate. With a little calculation, he could figure out.
There are people, money, and force.
It’s completely worthy of the saying: Stand still and make money.
only……
Jason frowned when he thought of King Cui Long's death.
Before, Jason had suspected that there was something fishy about King Cui Long's death.
Now?
It's already certain.
King Cui Long was assassinated.
As for who did it?
It's not clear yet.
Jason didn't think too much about it. He was just a bodyguard. He just needed to send Cui Longnu to Xiangcheng. Someone would take care of her there, and he didn't need to worry about the rest.
Of course, if this Cui Longnu was good, he wouldn't mind cooperating with her.
After all, Jason never minded too much food.
So, at this time, Jason appeared quietly outside Cui Longnu's room.
In the room, Xu Dashan was talking to Cui Longnu——
"Miss, Master Mu has agreed to escort you to Xiangcheng."
Xu Dashan talked about what happened in the martial arts gym before.
"Knowing the danger, but still willing to help, this Mu Pavilion Master can be regarded as a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold. Others..."
A gentle female voice said and sighed.
"This is human nature."
"After all, warriors like Master Mu are rare."
Xu Dashan also sighed.
Then, the old owner of Hongxiangfang continued: "Miss, I'm going to prepare first. The ship will leave the dock soon."
"You go ahead, I'll have a chat with Hongxiu."
The gentle female voice said.
"Okay, miss."
Xu Dashan exited the room and walked out quickly.
From beginning to end, the old club never noticed Jason standing in the shadows, even though the distance between the two sides was only three or four meters.
At night, Cui Longnu's maid Hong Xiu will disguise herself as Cui Longnu to attract some people's attention. Jason heard Xu Dashan tell about this.
At present, it seems that it should be true, Xu Dashan is not lying.
After confirming this, Jason was ready to leave.
But suddenly, Jason stopped.
He looked at Cui Longnu's room in surprise.
In Cui Longnu's room, there is another fragrance.
It still has the kind of fragrance that is tainted with many 'secret medicines'.
Moreover, it smells even better than Cui Longnu's body.
He must have been hiding in the secret room before, so he didn't smell it. Now that the other party appeared, Jason immediately noticed the smell.
‘It’s actually two alchemists?!’
Jason had surprise in his eyes.
The appearance of an alchemist is considered lucky.
For two alchemists to appear in a certain force at the same time, this is not just luck, but luck.
In particular, the two alchemists have achieved success in their practice.
And just as Jason was thinking about it, he suddenly heard bursts of crying coming from the room.
"Sister Hongxiu, why don't we run away?"
"Daddy is dead, I can't lose you anymore."
The gentle voice was full of nasal sounds.
"it's useless."
"The master is dead. Without his protection, we can't escape. Even if we escape from the 'mountain city', we will be captured. At that time, we will only be worse off."
"So, we can only hope that you can reach Xiangcheng, that those who support you are sincere, and that people in the 'Sihai Gang' will recognize the 'Dragon Head Stick'."
A slightly helpless voice came into Jason's ears.
Obviously, Cui Longnu's maid Hongxiu could see much more clearly than Cui Longnu.
"But this..."
There was hesitation in Cui Longnu's voice.
"We have reached this point and there is no way out."
Hongxiu's voice became firm, and then suddenly there was a sense of tenderness. She whispered: "Sister, you must live well, even if you face the worst outcome, you must live."
"You have everything when you are alive."
"And you are an alchemist, you are valuable."
"Even those guys won't ignore your value."
"So, when it comes to last resort, you have to choose to cooperate with them and make elixirs for them."
Hongxiu said for a while.
That kind of pause where the sound gets stuck in the throat.
"Sister, I know."
There was a cry in Cui Longnu's voice, and then there was the sound of jingling rings.
'Should it be two girls hugging each other and saying their final goodbyes?'
Jason thought so.
He could completely imagine what kind of situation Cui Longnv and Hongxiu would face after they lost the protection of King Cui Long.
It would be an understatement to say that he is surrounded by wolves.
Moreover, this farewell may be an eternal farewell.
Hong Xiu did not mention her identity as an alchemist, but she had obviously made some preparations.
Cui Longnu, who is the only one, will be more valuable.
Having one more alchemist is not a good thing at this time.
Jason guessed what Hongxiu wanted to do and planned to leave.
This is the last time the two girls spend together.
It's inappropriate for an outsider like him to be here.
It's the same even if the two of them don't know.
Jason slowly walked towards the outside of Hongxiangfang, but the sound of words coming from the room behind him stopped him in his tracks——
"I hate that I'm not a man."
"Sister Hongxiu, you are better than any man."
"younger sister."
"elder sister."
Jason raised his eyebrows during his affectionate words.
Then, the pace of leaving became faster and faster.
The flowers bloom quite suddenly.
Good guy, really good guy.
Jason, who was completely confused, returned to his room in the martial arts hall. He did not enter the room, but sat on the roof of the room. He crossed his hands, put his elbows on his knees, supported his chin with the back of his hands, and looked at
A quiet 'mountain town'.
The night wind blew by, making Jason's clothes rustle slightly.
Dogs bark occasionally in the distance, but they soon stop.
All that was left was the wooden clapper that the watchman knocked during his night watch.
Because his physical and mental abilities were far beyond those of ordinary people, Jason slept very little and could even go without sleep for more than ten days in a row.
Therefore, he is used to finding a quiet place to think.
Not only was he thinking about the plan in front of him, but he was also thinking about everything in the "City That Never Sleeps".
From time to time, I could hear the sound of a bean bag banging something in my ears.
Bean buns are like this every night.
There will be no rest until late at night.
As for the things Beanbag drummed up, Jason knew a rough idea.
But didn't delve into it.
When Doubao wants to say something, he will naturally say it and he will listen.
Don't want to say?
He won't force it either.
It's a secret.
Everyone has it.
Instead of exploring other people's secrets, it's better to think about what to eat tomorrow morning.
Just as Jason was thinking, a torch suddenly lit up at the dock in the distance. Jason was just at a height where he could see this bright light, and with Jason's eyesight, he could even see a group of people.
Xu Dashan.
'Have you set off yet?'
Jason thought, his eyes involuntarily focusing on the dock.
There was no surprise. After a woman in a cloak boarded the ship, more than twenty men with weapons also followed, and then the sailors began to carry supplies and so on.
About ten minutes later, the ship set off.
Xu Dashan did not get on the ship, but watched the ship leave.
Then, the old owner of Hongxiangfang headed towards the city gate.
A carriage stopped there at some point.
"Miss, please be careful along the way."
After leaving the city gate, Xu Dashan whispered.
"I understand, Master Xu Xiang."
"What happens after that is up to you."
A gentle voice came.
"clear."
Xu Dashan answered.
Compared to the large crowds at the dock, there was only one carriage and four fast horses, and on each horse sat a strong man with shining eyes.
Obviously, each of them is a warrior who has completed the "muscles".
Especially the middle-aged man driving the car, his aura is even more powerful, at least at the level of 'bone forging'.
"Please, everyone."
Xu Dashan raised his hands to the five of them.
The five dead soldiers who were completely trained by the 'Big Dragon Head' Cui Longwang nodded coldly, and then, with the driver waving his whip, the group of people set off.
After a while, it disappeared into the night.
Xu Dashan stood there until he could no longer see it, then turned around.
'Hope everything goes well.'
Xu Dashan thought so.
The two pretending men set off, and the real eldest lady had already hid in the secret room. There was enough food and water there, and no one knew about the secret room except him.
Now we have to wait three days.
In three days, those people will probably be unable to bear it and attack the two teams.
But it doesn't matter.
Even if something fishy is discovered, he is not afraid.
Because, he is the insurance.
He will make the whole plan complete.
become perfect.
Therefore, he was eager for something to happen.
Only when something goes wrong can his plan be launched and his passivity turned into initiative.
Of course, if he could, he would never do it.
But things were beyond his expectation.
He didn't expect that those guys would confirm that the eldest lady had come to "Mountain City" so quickly.
This was the news he confirmed half an hour ago when he went to the dock to make arrangements.
well!
Sitting in the carriage, Xu Dashan's body swayed with the shaking of the carriage. After sighing in his heart, he began to count the time silently.
'It should be almost done, right?'
Xu Dashan thought secretly in his heart.
Then, the next moment——
call!
fire!
A flash of fire appeared in the night, and when the wind blew, the fire became brighter and brighter.
The flames jumped upwards.
After a while, everyone was alarmed.
"It's gone!"
"Hongxiangfang is in trouble!"
The neighbors on Wuguan Street were shouting loudly, and the driver who was driving Xu Dashan’s eyes widened and shouted anxiously to the carriage behind him: "My boss! My boss! It’s not good! The shop is on fire!"
"ah?!"
Xu Dashan opened the curtain with a surprised look on his face and looked at the red incense shop burning in the night.
"Hurry! Go back quickly!"
"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
Xu Dashan shouted loudly.
"Okay, boss, sit tight."
After the boy finished speaking, he shook the reins.
Immediately, the carriage began to accelerate.
However, by the time Xu Dashan returned to Hongxiangfang, it was still too late.
Hongxiangfang was completely engulfed in flames.
In order to reduce losses, the neighbors on Wuguan Street had to push down the wall of Hongxiangfang to let the flames burn inward. At the same time, everyone dug a trench to hinder the progress of the flames.
All this was done under the command of Brother Xun.
"Everyone, be careful."
"Try not to get too close."
Brother Xun directed everyone.
Then, I was ready to apologize to Xu Dashan.
It's not that he doesn't want to put out the fire, it's just that the fire is too big.
At this time, if someone goes to put out the fire, they will die again.
As soon as he turned his head, Brother Xun couldn't find Xu Dashan.
"Mr. Xu just took a look and went to the Mu Shi Martial Arts School."
Someone told Brother Xun.
Mu style martial arts gym?
Brother Xun was startled. This was not the first time he had heard of Mu Shi Martial Arts School. In the past month, the name of Mu Style Martial Arts School has become so popular.
He was also a little curious.
However, this is not the time.
At this time, he needs to put out the fire.
And just as Brother Xun was directing the firefighting, two black figures hiding in the corner headed towards the Mu Shi Martial Arts Hall.
