Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 120 Tea Shop

In the afternoon, Qu Xin sat on the cabinet of the tea shop in a daze as usual.

In front of him was not tea, but water.

There is a saying that "those who sell salt drink light soup, and those who weave straw mats sleep on bare beds." Qu Xin, the shopkeeper of the tea shop, has responded to this saying—he drinks plain water without any tea leaves every day.

The taste of water is very bland, and it needs to be paired with some "condiments" to have a taste.

And the tea shop opened by Qu Xin is just a place for people to gossip.

Qu Xin, who is just 40 years old this year, is very ordinary in terms of height and appearance. Even the regular customers of this tea shop don't have a deep impression of him as the shopkeeper, because the shop assistants are responsible for greeting customers on weekdays. , and he just sat there like a mascot.

No one paid attention to him, and no one would have thought that this seemingly ordinary tea shop owner would be the number three figure in the "Yingying" organization.

Wuchang is one of the most important water and land transportation hubs in Dalong. As an organization that mainly collects and exchanges information, it is only logical that Youying will set up its headquarters here.

When Gu Qiying was not around, Qu Xin was the one who managed the organization on his behalf.

As for Qu Xin's martial arts, it is not as good as Gu Qiying's, or Shen Youran who is younger than him, and maybe even some killers in the organization are better than him...but it is him who sits firmly in the third place. Take the top spot.

He relied on two things: first, his excellent logistical dispatching ability; second, Gu Qiying's trust and respect.

Of course, this "trust" is only relative.

Shen Youran is the only person that Gu Qiying "truly trusts". As for the others... No matter how much you trust, you will inevitably be tricked by him.

Quxin is no exception.

However, the Gu in him is not the same as that of other people - the members of Youying, according to the level, the Gu planted will also be different; The interval will be very long, which is not only to express Gu Qiying's "trust" in him, but also to facilitate him to act independently for a long time in a place far away from Gu Qiying.

In addition, in Qu Xin's hands, he also holds the recipes for all the people below him to continue the Gu; please note that it is a prescription for "continuing Gu", not "resolving Gu", that is to say, the effect of this medicine It is to alleviate the next attack of Gu, not to completely eliminate Gu.

I have to say that the system that Gu Qiying came up with really worked... Because of the existence of this system, even after he "died", the organization did not fall apart.

After the Luoyang incident, Qu Xin took over the command as a matter of course, and maintained the operation of the shadow as usual.

During these days, members of Youying at all levels, apart from continuing to collect all kinds of information from the rivers and lakes, the people, and the government and the public, have also added a key task: to keep an eye on Huang Donglai, and try to get the Lord's Notes from him.

Seeing this, all the judges must have understood... that night on the roof of the inn in Xinyang, the "fourth person" lurking in the dark was none other than a spy of Youying.

And the ambush in the posthouse last night was also done by You Ying; the leader of the killers who led nine killers in was none other than Qu Xin himself.

However, this Qu Xin has stayed in the "sit position" for too long after all. His performance in leading the team at the front line is not good. When he rushed into the house last night, he said silly "kill me" Even his subordinates wanted to complain.

Originally, his order last night was: Except for Huang Donglai who had to be captured alive, the other two could live or die, depending on how fiercely they resisted.

In the end, when he yelled in that voice, it became even more intense...

If it hadn't been for his roar, maybe the brothers rushed in and quickly put their knives on the necks of the three of them, and the matter would be settled, and the three of them could be captured alive without fighting.But now, ten of them went there, and only three came out in the end. A total of seven brothers confessed there, and the martial arts of these seven were not weak.

Although it can also be said that due to the intrusion of the master Ran Ling, no matter how they respond, they will fail, but without his stupid behavior, at least a few people would be killed.

The truth... is this truth.

Unfortunately, no one will say these words.

This is also the drawback of Gu Qiying's "Gu control system" - no one dares to offend their superiors.

But no matter what, last night's defeat clearly made the organization question Qu Xin's commanding ability; facing these subordinates who dare not speak out, Qu Xin is also very stressed...

Because those people are not stupid, they all understand: the most hurtful person is not us, but you, Qu Xin, if you can't get the Lord's Notes.

Although our Gu can't be solved, but at least it can be maintained by "continuing Gu", but how to relieve Qu Xin's Gu, only the Lord Master knows; now the Lord is gone, when your Gu comes to the onset period, If you haven't got the notes yet, you're in trouble.

Right now, Qu Xin is sitting here, seemingly in a daze, but actually thinking about this matter.

At this moment, several familiar figures passed by his eyes...

"Hey, four masters, come here, come here, please, there is a seat here." The shop assistant greeted and led Ran Ling, Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai, and Lei Buji to him. An empty table.

At this moment, Ran Ling was naturally dressed in casual clothes. If he came here in Jinyiwei's outfit, he would scare away all the guests in the room.

Sun, Huang, and Lei also changed into their usual clothes instead of the tattered disguise.

"Choose some tea and serve some dried fruits and snacks." Ran Ling casually ordered to the waiter as he sat down.

"Hey~ okay!" The guy responded, then turned his head and went to work.

Before he had gone far, Lei Buji whispered to Ran Ling: "Brother Ran, didn't you tell us to take us to investigate the case? Why did you come here to drink tea?"

Hearing this, Ran Ling took a look at Lei Buji, and replied unhurriedly: "Drinking tea here is to investigate the case."

"Ah?" Lei Buji couldn't understand.

But Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai understood.

"Brother Ran, what do you mean...you can gather information here?" Huang Donglai answered softly.

"That's right." Ran Ling also lowered his voice a little, and replied, "This tea shop in the city is the only one that has a good business, and the staff and regular customers here also love to gossip... such a big incident happened at the post house last night. , Someone will definitely talk about it here today, we might as well sit here for a long time and listen to what they can chew out that we don't know...it should be rewarding."

The few words they whispered, but none of them escaped Qu Xin's ears - he was listening with his ears.

Perhaps because he was worried that the shopkeeper was too engrossed in his "daze" to notice the appearance of these people, another employee in the store purposely walked up to Qu Xin and whispered, "Boss, look... "

Qu Xin waved his hand, indicating that he needn't continue talking.

This is called breaking through the iron shoes and finding nowhere to find it. It takes no effort to get it.

In the next second, Qu Xin couldn't help but immediately gestured to the guy under the counter. The meaning was very simple: add medicine to the tea.
