After leaving Yizhou Town Demon Division, Qin Shaoyou and his party did not go anywhere else, but returned directly to the inn.
However, just as they crossed the gate of the post station, they were stopped by the postmaster.
Yi Cheng rubbed his hands and asked curiously: "Qin is trying hundreds of households, do you still have dealings with the Prince of Shu's Mansion?"
Upon hearing Yi Cheng's question, Qin Shaoyou's expression remained unchanged. He did not answer yes or no, but asked instead: "Why did Yi Cheng ask like this?"
Yi Cheng didn't think too much and told the reason: "Shortly after you left, someone from the Prince of Shu's Mansion came looking for you."
"oh?"
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows, the surprise on his face was half true and half false.
"That's strange. I don't know anyone from the Prince of Shu's Mansion. I don't know the name of the person who came to look for me. What errands are he doing in the Prince of Shu's Mansion? Why are you looking for me?"
Behind him, Cen Biqing and Sun Xianzong immediately observed the surrounding situation vigilantly.
Yi Cheng did not see the reaction of Cen Biqing and others. His sight was blocked by Qin Shaoyou with his body. He just shook his head and replied: "That person claimed to be from the Prince of Shu's Mansion. I am a little Yi Cheng, how can I dare to ask more questions?"
His name and position. As for his purpose, your subordinates should know, because after hearing that you had gone out, that person went to the private courtyard where you stayed and chatted and laughed with your handsome general."
The general flag with a strange appearance? Is that Zhu Xiucai?
Qin Shaoyou nodded secretly. With Zhu Xiucai's intelligence and reaction, even if people from the Prince of Shu's palace came to spy on information, he could handle it without leakage.
"Thank you, Yi Cheng, for informing me. I will go back and ask if the nobles in Prince Shu's palace have anything to do with me. I can't neglect it," Qin Shaoyou said, cupping his hands.
Yi Cheng waved his hand and said: "Qin Shi Baihu is so polite. This is my duty."
After a pause, he said with a bit of envy: "Qin's 100 households really don't know anyone from the Prince of Shu's palace? Then you have probably fallen into the eyes of the Prince of Shu and are about to become famous!"
Qin Shaoyou smiled, raised his hands and said: "According to your good advice, if I am really valued by the King of Shu and promoted, I will definitely set up a table in the best restaurant in the city and invite Yi Cheng to have a good drink."
After a pause, he remembered something, took out the bottle of nourishing elixir given by Wenzhu from his arms, and handed it to Yi Cheng.
"This is?"
Yi Cheng was a little surprised.
Qin Shaoyou smiled and said: "Didn't you say before that your friend took Shan Daonian's medicine and felt that his body had recovered a lot. Do you want to ask him to help you prescribe some more medicine? Although Shan Daonian didn't come this time, I will help you.
I got a bottle of nourishing elixir from Taoist Master Wenzhu, and it is as effective as the medicine prescribed by Shan Taonian."
Yi Cheng was pleasantly surprised, but soon became worried.
He glanced at Cen Biqing, pulled Qin Shaoyou aside, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Qin, that Taoist Wenzhu is a woman, can the medicine she gave me work? It's not that I don't believe Taoist Wenzhu.
It’s just that my friend is a man, and what he needs to fix is also a man’s problem... In this kind of matter, do men understand men better?"
Qin Shaoyou laughed, patted his hand and said, "Yicheng said this, so he has no experience, right? What is the purpose of a man's body replenishment? Isn't it to take good care of her? So, how to replenish a man, how to replenish him
No, women are probably more accurate than men!"
After hearing this, Yi Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.
"There seems to be some truth to this, just like my body...ah, no, I mean, my friend's body was weak, and his wife discovered it first."
Then he happily accepted the elixir and thanked Qin Shaoyou repeatedly.
Qin Shaoyou waved his hand and said, "No need to say thank you. If anyone comes to see me again, please let Yi Cheng tell me as soon as possible like he did today."
"This is natural!" Yi Cheng nodded repeatedly.
Qin Shaoyou then smiled and joked: "I can see that your friend Yi Cheng must have a very good relationship with you."
Yi Cheng was stunned for a moment, then responded with an awkward smile: "This... yes, yes."
After parting with Yi Cheng, Qin Shaoyou and his entourage walked to Duyuan.
Gu Hui
When there was no one around, Cen Biqing came forward and whispered: "Master Qin, I just observed that there are several people on the opposite side staring at the inn."
Qin Shaoyou nodded slightly.
The Prince of Shu's Mansion sent people to keep an eye on him, and he had already noticed it.
To be honest, if the Shu Palace didn't send anyone, he would think there was something wrong.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhu Xiucai came up to him, took out a gold-plated invitation and handed it into Qin Shaoyou's hands.
"My lord, not long after you left, a guy who claimed to be a gift giver from the Prince of Shu's Mansion came to you. Seeing that you were not there, he posted this post, saying that there would be a banquet at the Prince of Shu's Mansion tomorrow and he would invite you to the banquet.
.”
Qin Shaoyou took the post and carefully checked it with [Bright Eyes], [Wonderful Nose], Blood Qi and Intuition. After making sure there was no problem, he opened it and took a look. The content inside was similar to what Zhu Xiucai said.
After closing the invitation, Qin Shaoyou gave Sun Xianzong the copied martial arts secrets, turned and walked to the room where he stayed, and asked at the same time: "What else did the Yin Li Sheren say to you?"
Zhu Xiucai followed quickly and replied in a low voice: "The man wanted to trick me. He first asked about the drought in Mianyuan County, then asked about our experiences along the way, and finally asked about Cai Guizhong's role as the city god.
Things..."
Sun Xianzong took the secrets of the exercises and followed Qin Shaoyou's instructions on the way back. According to the different situations of the night watchmen, he distributed suitable exercises to everyone in groups and supervised them to start practicing immediately.
After hearing Zhu Xiucai's answer, Qin Shaoyou didn't rush to speak. After entering the room, he asked: "What do you think they are really interested in?"
"It should be about Cai Guizhong becoming the City God." Zhu Xiucai said, "The person who led the ceremony asked about the previous few things very casually. Only the matter about Cai Guizhong becoming the City God, he asked very carefully."
"It seems that our King of Shu is really determined to become an immortal and a god." Qin Shaoyou sneered.
Zhu Xiucai raised his finger and pointed at the invitation: "Sir, this banquet hosted by the King of Shu may not be a good banquet, but a Hongmen Banquet."
"I know."
Qin Shaoyou nodded, then his eyes flashed.
"Whether it's the Hongmen Banquet or not, no matter what kind of dragons and tigers' dens there are in the Prince of Shu's palace, I have to go there! I'm just a small trial household. The King of Shu invites me. If I don't go, I'm afraid it will expose us.
Doubts about the King of Shu will ruin subsequent events!"
Qin Shaoyou touched the Turtle General Token he just got from the statue of the Patriarch of Jiutiandang Demon, and thought to himself, could it be that the Patriarch gave him a new magic weapon just for this purpose?
At the same time, he continued: "Besides, before setting off, Senior Brother Cui also said in his prediction that when we come to Zhoucheng, there are many dangers and obstacles. Only by moving forward can we break through the darkness!"
Qin Shaoyou quickly made up his mind without looking forward or backward, and then discussed various arrangements and preparations for the trip with Zhu Xiucai, and asked Cen Biqing to quietly go to Yizhou Town Demon Division and report to Zuo Qianhu.
thing.
Zuo Qianhu quickly asked Cen Biqing to bring back the message.
There are only four short words: "I know it, let's go."
With Zuo Qianhu's words, Qin Shaoyou felt a lot more at ease.
Of course, preparation and vigilance are also indispensable.
Time flew by to the second day.
Qin Shaoyou, who was well prepared, wore the official robe of a hundred households and came to the Shu Palace alone.
After handing in the invitation, he was quickly taken into the palace by a ceremony guide.
The moment he stepped into the palace, Qin Shaoyou felt that he was being stared at by pairs of eyes hidden in the dark.
At the same time, his appetite is also ‘warning’!
Qin Shaoyou looked calm on the surface, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart: There really is a demon hiding in the Prince of Shu's Mansion!
