The sky was getting dark. I don't know when the Osmanthus Alley was brightly lit, and the Jianghu Tower gradually became lively. The empty third floor was filled up soon.
"Lao Du! Here, come quickly!" Someone suddenly shouted loudly, and then a strong man who had just gone upstairs walked towards the shout and replied even louder: "They are all here, hahaha
, I am late, I should be punished, I should be punished!"
The caller was a middle-aged man in his forties, sitting at the same table with a monk of similar age and an old man in his fifties. The three of them were only one table away from He Qizhou.
"Master, it's the big man at the city gate!" Luo Yu gently shook He Qizhou's arm.
"Yeah." He Qizhou continued to taste his wine, looking indifferent.
"I seem to know the person opposite Lao Du," Luo Yu said quietly in a low voice.
"Oh." He Qizhou continued to ignore what Luo Yu said.
"He seems to be an outer disciple of the Jinling Sect, or maybe some kind of hall master! He seemed to be there when the master dismissed the gang that day." Luo Yu continued.
"Hmm? Does he know you?" He Qizhou finally got some snacks.
"You won't recognize them. I hid in the inner hall and did not participate in their discussions." Luo Yu shook his head.
"Then leave it alone." He Qizhou continued to drink, drinking very slowly, but he just couldn't stop. Three years ago, he was still full of ambition when he left. When he came back, his family was ruined, and he became half a "waste". Although
There are not many people in the world who are his opponents, but the reason why he considers himself a "waste" is because he is already powerless against the people he wants to deal with.
Yangzhou Lake outside the window was dotted with fishing lights, and the willow trees by the lake no longer had any leaves and were swaying feebly in the cold wind. He Qizhou felt that this was indeed a good place to drink. The only thing he was unhappy about was that the four people at the table were talking.
He kept talking, and even after finishing his fourth bottle of wine, those guys were still secretly discussing how to take action and how powerful their opponents were...
Luo Yu, who had not slept all day and night, was exhausted. She lay on the table and dozed off, leaving He Qizhou to drink alone.
The sound of the night watch came from Osmanthus Alley, and not many guests were left in the Jianghu Tower. There were only two tables of people left on the third floor, and the soft conversations at Lao Du's table became clearer. Only Luo Du was seen.
The outer disciple of the Jinling Sect whom Yu was talking about suddenly stood up and walked towards He Qizhou, and then said to He Qizhou, who was facing the lake: "Brother, have you heard enough? Since you don't want to join the gang, do you want to come and intercept the way?"
Luo Yu, who was a little dazed, was startled and hurriedly raised his head and said to the visitor: "My master just wants to have a drink alone."
"Well, I have a good capacity for drinking and must be quite courageous. Taoist priest, I would like to ask you, Cong Rui, the master of the Caizhou branch of the Jinling Sect, where you practice Taoism." The visitor is indeed an outer disciple of the Jinling Sect.
"Waiter, get another jar of wine!" He Qizhou turned the entire wine jar upside down, but only two or three drops of wine dripped down, and then he shouted loudly, without even looking at Cong Rui, his daughter who weighed two pounds per jar.
Red, next is the fifth altar.
In the past three years, He Qizhou has changed a lot. Coupled with his Taoist robe and thin face, it was natural that the waiters who had met him once in the Jianghu Tower would not be able to recognize him. The waiter who served the wine was very fond of this Taoist priest.
Attentive, because the wine he drinks alone is worth two or three tables.
"You!" Cong Rui, who was ignored, patted He Qizhou's table and glared at him.
He Qizhou was still looking out the window and roared low in his throat: "Get out!"
Cong Rui didn't know the details of the other party, but being left aside like this, he couldn't help but get angry. When he saw the waiter coming upstairs carrying a jar of freshly opened wine, he grabbed the wine jar from the waiter's hand and put it down again.
On the table, he seemed to be waiting for He Qizhou's reaction.
He Qizhou finally turned around and looked over. There was no trace of warmth in his small eyes except for the coldness.
Instead of looking at each other, Cong Rui panicked and hurriedly avoided He Qizhou's gaze, and unconsciously let go of the hand holding the wine jar.
"Master Cong, they came before us." The monk saw that Cong Rui was a little unable to get off the stage, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
"Brother Cong, come on, let's drink our food and leave him alone." The big man surnamed Du stood up and pulled Cong Rui back. He turned around and nodded to He Qizhou as a gift for his companion.
He Qizhou felt extremely bored. He picked up the newly brought jar of wine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Then he said to Luo Yu, "Pay the bill and leave!" After that, he walked downstairs.
"Master, wait, I, I still have to carry so much luggage..." Luo Yu hurriedly carried the luggage, then took the one hundred taels of silver note and went downstairs to check out, waiting for the recovered silver taels.
When he chased him out, He Qizhou was already a hundred steps away.
"Master, where are we going now?" Luo Yu caught up with him panting.
"Danguiju."
"Oh. Master, I was almost asleep just now. You, did you hear what they said?" Luo Yu vaguely heard the four people talking about how to do something.
"Nothing you say has anything to do with us." He Qizhou didn't want to be verbose. In fact, he still knew a lot in his heart. Although he didn't want to listen in the restaurant and didn't care much at the time, after two hours of drinking, he listened even if he didn't want to.
After Luo Yu asked this question, he remembered the identities of the four people after thinking about it for a moment.
The leader's surname is Cao Mingyu, who is the guardian of the Chen family in Yangzhou. The news of the prey was brought by someone sent by his uncle Pegasus. It seems that he is planning to do it at the dock tomorrow. After the event is completed, he will get 40%, and the other three will each get 20%.
become;
The monk's name is Jingming. A monk from Yuantong Temple in the suburbs calls Master Xincheng as his mentor. He is the helper called by Cong Rui, the leader of the Jinling Sect. This time he wants to earn some money and share some pressure for the temple. Because he came to ask for help.
More and more people were being helped;
The person surnamed Du is called Du Yu, and he is the deputy general manager of a bodyguard agency in Caizhou. Since the bodyguard agency is on the western front, and the military situation on the western front is ongoing, many businesses have stopped doing business. The agency had to close down after losing two escorts.
After the incident was over, Du Yu devoted himself to hunting down wanted criminals.
Cong Rui and Du Yu were familiar with each other. The two often cooperated and were somewhat famous in the murder hunting circle, so Cao Yu sought them out.
Luo Yu stopped asking questions and followed He Qizhou closely as he did when he came out of the mountain. He was afraid that his master would abandon him. When the time was approaching, except for a few gamblers and drunkards passing by in Osmanthus Alley, there were almost no people on the road.
There is no one left.
After turning a corner, Danguiju's shop had less than a hundred feet. Luo Yu, who had worked hard all day, was almost moved to tears. But before his tears could fall, the sound of footsteps approaching quickly behind him scared him.
A jump! Looking back, it was the four people who had been chatting for a long time in the restaurant.
"Taoist, did you hear that we were going to live in Danguiju and you wanted to come here before us? You must have heard that we were going to Jianghu Tower at the city gate, right?" Cong Rui, who shouted loudly, quickly walked around to He Qizhou
in front of me.
He Qizhou stopped and looked at the other person coldly. Although the guy was very annoying, he didn't want to do anything.
"We originally planned to live here." Luo Yu said anxiously.
"Hmph, you are wearing the Taoist uniform of the Quanzhen Sect, but you are all drinking and eating meat. Master Yuan Che is a good teacher, and it is impossible for him to condone his disciples to be so ridiculous! Also, you are a girl, who can't see it?
Tell me quickly, who are you?" Cao Yu, the leader, also approached He Qizhou.
"Get out of the way!" He Qizhou said coldly, preparing to move forward.
"Little Master, we are not bad people. If you really want to get rid of the traitor, then come and do it with us. We are afraid that if we do it at the same time, the traitor will escape." Du Yu hurriedly advised.
"Yes, the person who came here is quite capable. Even the four of us are not completely sure. Young master, why don't you stay with the poor monk tomorrow? If the traitor is caught, the poor monk is willing to give the reward to him.
Give half of the silver to the young master." Jingming advised.
He Qizhou vaguely remembered meeting this monk at Yuantong Temple. If he was mixed in the crowd, the other party would definitely not recognize him. He Qizhou still had great respect for Yuantong Temple. He immediately put away his anger and said: "Master, I just
It's just a place to stay, I don't care about what you say."
"Nonsense, you didn't care and you looked at the wall for a long time? Then you followed us all the way here!" Cong Rui said anxiously.
"Seeing that this donor doesn't look like a liar, Brother Cong doesn't need to embarrass them any more. Please do it, young master." Jingming didn't care about Cao Yu, but Cong Rui was unwilling to pull Cong Rui away and let He Qizhou out.
road.
He Qizhou ignored the four of them and walked straight to Danguiju. Behind him, Cao Yu and Cong Rui were still blaming Monk Jingming. Jingming did not argue with the two of them, but just laughed a few times, and the four of them followed He Qizhou.
Enter Danguiju.
He Qizhou wanted a suite worth ten taels of silver. He also found out the schedule of the ship heading north the next day when he entered the city. There would be a ship to Luoyang docking in Jiangling in the afternoon. On the way to Jiangling, He Qizhou knew that the imperial court was here.
It is strictly forbidden for people to ride horses, so taking a boat is the fastest and most trouble-free way to travel. The purpose of going to Jianglingfu City is to take advantage of the boat to travel north.
Since the sailing schedule was still early, He Qizhou let the exhausted Luo Yu sleep for a full hour. It was not until noon that he asked the inn to call a carriage and go to the dock. The four guys who were fighting for money left the inn early in the morning and went to the dock to ambush
.
He Qizhou knew that someone was watching his suite from a distance outside the guest room. It was the man named Cao Yu who had found him from nowhere. It was not until two hours after the four people left last night that the people who were watching quietly withdrew. Xinru
The desperate He Qizhou didn't want to argue with these villains. As long as he stopped looking for death, he would let them go.
He Qizhou set off from the inn at noon, and the carriage arrived at the pier half an hour early. There was a large ship parked on the pier, with its bow facing south. It should be a passenger ship bound for Jinling. Before the north ship arrived, He Qizhou took Luo Qizhou with him.
Yu went to a restaurant by the pier to wait for the boat.
