Chapter 157: Pouring Tea (Additional update for the Poefisher leader)
After sending the Chu envoy back to the post, Prince Qingyu, Yuan Sima, and Lu Sikong each beat their waists, said goodbye to each other, and boarded the carriage to leave.
Returning to the mansion, Prince Qingyu said: "Please invite Alchemist Shen to come."
Wu Sheng quickly rushed to the prince's residence, paid his respects and sat down for a chat. Prince Qingyu told about Shen Douke's inspection of the elixir today and said: "This matter is a bit strange. The Chu envoy seemed to have expected that the elixir was different, so he made a special trip
He came here, but couldn't find any problems. He checked the elixir over and over again, but nothing was wrong. You didn't see the look on his face, and he almost became furious."
As soon as the news was communicated, Wu Sheng understood immediately, and immediately told the story about Zuo Bo selling pills with a smile, saying: "I guess it must be related to this matter. Either it was the instructions of the Yu Kingdom, and Zuo Bo reported it to the Chu envoy.
The thing that ruined my Mao Gong was either due to Shen Douke's instructions to Zuo Bou, and he wanted to catch me as an excuse, but I didn't expect to be fooled."
Prince Qingyu said: "I know the reason why the Fish Kingdom used tricks, but why did the envoy of Chu do this?"
Wu Sheng said: "The day before yesterday, the Chu envoy secretly entered Yongrentang and recruited me on behalf of Shen Douke. He wanted me to go to Yangzhou and join his family as a scholar. Although he offered me a heavy bribe, I sternly refused. I have entered the young master's family.
, how can I turn my back on the two masters? Isn’t this trapping me into injustice? Shen Douke must have become angry out of shame and used the topic to get angry."
Young Master Qingyu sighed for a moment and bowed to Wu Sheng: "Alchemist Shen refused the invitation of the great minister of the country and wanted to be a mediocre country. His loyalty and righteousness can be expressed by heaven and earth. Master Shen does not want to betray me, and I will not betray Master Alchemy!"
"
Wu Sheng hurriedly bowed back: "As a corporal of the Young Master's family, isn't this what I should do? It's just an ordinary trivial matter. Why did the Young Master do such a great gift?"
Young Master Qingyu choked up and couldn't speak. He looked at Wu Sheng with tears in his eyes.
Wu Sheng was a little uncomfortable with Young Master Qingyu's eyes, and quickly changed the subject: "Shen Douke's test of the elixir's effect failed. I plan to find out what he means and see what his next plan is."
Young Master Qingyu wiped away his tears and said, "This is not easy. What are your ideas, sir?"
Wu Sheng smiled and said, "I have a way to give it a try."
Master Dongsun came to Guanyi and asked to see Cui Ming. Shangyong's guard at Guanyi had been informed of the situation and let him in directly.
Yongguoguanyi is a mansion built within the northwest city wall. It has three floors. Shen Douke occupies the highest floor. The two floors below are occupied by his guests, including Cui Ming. Under the guidance of the guard, Dong Bamboo climbed up
He poked his head around and reached the innermost guest room on the second floor, took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Cui Ming was in the room planning how to complete the errands assigned by Shen Douke. After opening the door, he was stunned: "Why are you here?"
Master Dongsun smiled and squeezed in: "I heard that Brother Cui lives here, so I came here to visit."
Cui Ming quickly closed the door tightly and asked: "This is the main place of the post, and no one can enter. How did you get in?"
Master Dongsun said: "There is no place in Shangyong City that I can't enter. It's just a post office. What's the problem?"
Cui Ming frowned: "I heard from my sister-in-law that I am a merchant. When did I become a thief?"
Master Dongsun smiled: "I misunderstood. My wife didn't make it clear. I am doing business, but it is not a business, but a merchant. He is one of the top merchants in Shangyong City. Not to mention a hotel, even a palace
In the residences of various ministers and officials, I can come and go as I please without hindrance."
Cui Ming asked: "What kind of livelihood?"
Master Dongsun asked: "Have you ever heard of Yongrentang?"
Cui Ming was confused: "Isn't that the alchemy hall of alchemist Shen Wu?"
Master Dongsun smiled and said: "Shen Wu is my nephew, and I am the shopkeeper of Yongrentang. Yongrentang has a great reputation in Shangyong City. It saves lives and heals the wounded. Both the countrymen and the ministers praise it. Whoever met me said that
Without a word of kindness..."
"Yongrentang?" Cui Ming's face turned pale immediately: "How dare you come to my place? Go, get out!"
However, Master Dongsun sat down, crossed his legs and said, "Brother Cui, you are not being kind. I even gave up my wife to you. After all, I am also my in-laws. Today I came specially to visit my relatives, but you drove me away?
"
Cui Ming said in a deep voice: "How are you doing?"
Master Dongsun shook his head: "Brother Cui, that day you slept with my wife at Cuilin Villa. I was afraid that you were the envoy of Chu, so I didn't dare to provoke you, so I had to swallow my anger. But today I have no choice but to come to my door and ask you what to do!
"
Cui Ming said with a dark face: "What do you want to do?"
Master Dongsun said: "I want to settle things with you, and we will arrange a duel, life or death!"
Cui Ming snorted coldly: "If you think you can defeat me, you are just wishful thinking!"
Master Dongsun nodded and said: "Yes, your brother is stronger than me in cultivation. If we really want to fight, I may not be able to defeat you. This method is not good..." He muttered: "Then let's try another method: "I
I can’t compete with you, but I can compete with you for wealth!”
"Fighting for wealth?" Cui Ming even sneered.
Master Dongsun said: "I heard that I was originally a direct descendant of the Cui family of the Linzi wealthy family, and I am indeed rich. I may not be able to beat you in a fight for wealth, but I can't swallow this breath. I am willing to spend my life savings and reward a hundred gold coins.
If I want to recruit dead men to kill you, I wonder how much money I am willing to pay to kill me?"
Cui Ming was silent for a moment and said: "I am a corporal of Zuo Tumen in Yangzhou, Chu State, and today I am an envoy. If you dare to recruit assassins to kill me, are you not afraid that Chu will be angry and send troops to destroy Yong?"
Master Dongsun said: "The hatred of seizing my wife and the hatred of exterminating my family. I offer a reward to kill you. It is a private matter. It makes sense in the world. What's more, I heard that I was originally a doctor of Qi Guoqing. I went to Chu to avoid disaster. The capital of Ying
I didn't dare to keep you, so I went south to Yangzhou. If I offered you money to kill you, the kings and ministers of Chu would only laugh at it as a conversation piece, so how could they raise an army because of it?"
Cui Ming said angrily: "If you talk about a hundred gold, I, the Cui family, also have it. I can also offer the gold to kill you!"
This kind of threat is effective against wealthy children like Cui Ming, but it has no effect on low-level gangsters like Master Dongsun. He straightened his neck, used his hands to compare swords, and repeatedly gestured on his neck: "Why hang gold? If you want to kill me, just kill me."
Come here now! Let’s see if you can go back to Chu after you kill me! Before coming to Guanyi, I told my seventh uncle and grandpa that if anything happens to me, I will publicize the matter and offer money immediately.
Baiyue, there are so many desperadoes in the wilderness, I don’t believe you can go back!”
Cui Ming stared into Master Dongsun's eyes and said, "Spread all the family wealth? Shen Wu may not be willing to do what you wish!"
When it came to this matter, Master Dongsun knew that Cui Ming was cowarded, so he glared back and refused to give in: "I have watched Dan Master Shen grow up, and we are very close friends with uncle and nephew. You insulted his aunt and killed his uncle. You
See if he is willing to spend all his wealth?"
Cui Ming looked at the angry-looking Master Dongsun. Hundreds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally...
Suddenly he laughed: "Brother, why are you doing this? I didn't say that I was unwilling to help. If you shout and kill when you enter the door, doesn't it weaken the friendship between you and me? If you have anything you want me to take care of, just say...
Come, come, let me pour tea for my brother..."
Poefisher was solemnly promoted to the leader of the alliance on December 10th. The three flowers reached the top of Kunlun. Once he passed through the Xuan Jian Qi Sect, his spirit will stay forever and he became an immortal. He burned three pillars of incense to bid farewell to his fellow Taoist friends!
