Swordsman Fengyunzhi

Chapter 426: Zhong Rui's Arrangement

Chapter 420 Zhong Rui's Arrangement
Although as long as you go out of the north gate of Qingyun City, you will enter the Qingyun Mountains if you go north, but Yi Xifeng and his party are not in a hurry to go to Qingyun faction. They still remember Gao Ning's instructions. Let's talk about finding an organization.

It's just that the four of them came here for the first time, and they didn't know the exact location of the stronghold of the Salary List Organization, so they had to take a stroll around the main road first.Fortunately, Zhao Long is a son of the Zhao family after all, and he brought his waist card with him, but all the strongholds of the salary list organization will recognize it, otherwise they would have to inquire one by one in restaurants and inns, ask about the price of the house, and then carry out some "alternative". "Haggle...

Holding the jade waist card in his hand, Zhao Long asked the owner of the restaurant, "Have you got a room?"

The shopkeeper is an old man in his seventies. He squinted his eyes, looked at the waist card in the young man's hand, and murmured: "Master, our store is a small business, and only accepts cash!"

Zhao Long's face turned red, but fortunately, he had two knives on his waist and a bamboo hat on his head, no one could tell, he coughed lightly twice and cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me."

He quickly turned around and left, but when he came to the door of the restaurant, the shopkeeper stopped him again and reminded him: "If you are short on money and really need money, you can go to the pawn shop in the south of the city."

The boy with two knives paused, thanked him softly, and left the restaurant.

"How is it? Isn't it this one?" Seeing Zhao Long walking out quickly, Yi Xifeng asked with a smile.

However, Zhao Long, who was wearing a bamboo hat, obviously ignored him, raised his hand and threw the jade waist badge to Lin Lei, and said calmly, "The next one, it's your turn!"

Linley smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, touched his straight aquiline nose, and walked towards another inn several tens of meters away...

This is already the eighth shop they visited. At the beginning, Zhao Long could ask how many shops, but because of the strange eyes of the people around, the four of them started to take turns.

Soon Linley also came out of this inn, he shrugged his shoulders at the three people sitting in the carriage, and said helplessly: "This inn is not good either, but there is a young man who thought of paying three taels of silver for this Badge."

While talking about Linley boarding the carriage, the young man in the inn chased him out. Seeing the young man bowing into the carriage, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Generally speaking, pawning things is a method chosen by down-and-out people. After all, normal people always carry enough money when they go out, but judging by the appearance of the young man on the carriage, it doesn’t look like he was born in poverty. What happened.

The young man is a frequent visitor to this inn, the reason why he often eats here instead of going to other restaurants, the biggest reason is the same reed pot knives, this inn is cheaper than the ones sold in the surrounding restaurants.He is a budget-conscious person, although he is not short of money, but he still eats wine at this cheaper place.

Seeing Linley holding a jade belt today, he immediately fell in love with him. He consciously offered three taels of silver, which was not too little. He didn't expect that this person didn't even pay back the price, he just went out and left.Seeing that the things he got left just like that, the young man was naturally very unwilling, so he chased after him.

"Brother, please stop!" The young man walked to the car and shouted.The driver stopped his horse and whispered something to the people in the carriage behind him.

Linley recognized this person, so he came out of the carriage, and asked doubtfully, "Can you meet me if you have something to do?"

"Brother, can you sell your waist card? Three taels is not a lot, how about this, since you are not customers who are short on money, I will add two taels to make up five taels of silver?"

Linley looked intently at this young man, and saw that he had a bad nose at a young age. He presumably was a recalcitrant guy who got drunk all day long. He liked the waist cards, jade pendants, and other literary and playful items of these young masters. .

"Five taels of silver, hahaha, less!" Linley said with a smile.

The young man shook his head and said, "It's a lot, it's a lot. If you put it in the pawn shop in the south of the city, you probably won't be able to cash in even three taels."

In fact, he knew in his heart that the real value of this jade waist card was around ten taels, but he was not worried at all that the pawnshop would pay more, because everyone in Qingyun City knew that the pawnshop was quite dark!Except for some out-of-towners with little information, locals never go there to pawn things.

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.Zhao Long, who was sitting in the carriage, let out a sigh, and murmured, "This pawnshop again? Could it be..."

Linley naturally heard Zhao Long's muttering in the carriage, so he asked, "Since you said that, why don't you tell me where the pawnshop is? If it's really not suitable, I'll come to you to exchange it!"

When the young man heard this, his heart burst into joy, and he nodded hurriedly, "You are innocent! Let me tell you, follow the road ahead, go south, and at the third intersection..."

He roughly told the direction to the groom of the carriage, then cupped his hands and said to Linley: "Little brother, hurry up, I'll wait for your good news at this inn! I can pay you five taels! Five taels!"

Hearing this, Linley smiled slightly, then turned around and got into the carriage.

……

After several twists and turns, they finally came to this pawnshop located on the main road in the south of the city, and wrote four big characters "Pay Cloud Pawnshop"!
The four of them looked at each other and walked in.

Sure enough, the decoration inside was very exquisite, but there were very few people. Behind the high counter, a middle-aged shopkeeper was sitting, looking at the account book in his hand.When Linley and the others walked in, he also glanced at it, and then turned his gaze back to the ledger.

And in the lobby, there are two guys who are cleaning the hall, they don't say hello when they come in, they mutter to themselves.The four of them couldn't hear what they said, but judging from the words "poor ghost" and "little ghost" that popped up, it shouldn't be a good word.

Zhao Long looked up and down the pawn shop, then went straight to the tall counter.

"What is it, present it first and check later!" The shopkeeper said in a deep voice, holding the account book with one hand and pinching the account page with the other.

The young man put the jade waist card in his hand on the counter. After two breaths, he saw no response from the other party. When he looked up, he was speechless. The middle-aged shopkeeper was still flipping through the accounts page by page. To that badge.

Zhao Long coughed lightly, and said: "Shopkeeper, please show me first!"

The middle-aged shopkeeper frowned slightly, put down the account book, and then looked at the jade waist card on the counter.

…………Dividing line…………

Yi Xifeng looked at the exquisite decorations around, this private room was different from the one in Luoye County, and it had the local characteristics of Qingchuan County.

Due to the high mountains in Qingchuan County, some moso bamboos were planted in the courtyard. Although it is only early spring, the bamboo shoots of the moso bamboos have already emerged from the soil. Presumably, these bamboos will rise from the ground in half a month!

And the four of them guessed right, this pawnshop is a stronghold of the Salary List Organization!
The middle-aged man just now almost fell off the high chair behind the counter after seeing the jade waist card.He didn't reply to Zhao Long immediately, but asked the assistant to greet the four of them first, and brought them to this private room, then ran away holding the jade waist card.

Naturally, Zhao Long was not worried that the other party would be greedy for his waist card, because looking at the layout of the private room, everyone was sure that this was undoubtedly the stronghold of the salary list.

After about a cup of tea, the middle-aged shopkeeper came back again. As soon as he entered the door, he cupped his hands and said to Zhao Long: "Qingchuan County, the base of the Salary List Organization outside the county, the person in charge, Zhao Chao, has met your son!"

With that said, he handed back the jade waist card to the other party.

"This stronghold will be easy for us to find!" Seeing this scene, Yi Xifeng said with a wry smile.

The middle-aged man asked with some doubts: "This is also the place where I am confused. The four of you came to Qingyun City, but what is the task? If you need help from the Salary List organization, it's no problem!"

When the four of them heard this, they were taken aback for a moment and then looked at each other, apparently very surprised by what the other said.Linley at the side asked tentatively, "You don't know why we came here?"

The middle-aged man named Zhao Chao shook his head blankly, Zhao Long frowned and said: "We came here to complete the mission of the salary list, but you didn't receive any notice?"

Hearing what Zhao Long said, the man was startled at first, then cupped his hands and said: "If the little one really receives the notice, before you enter Qingyun City, I will send someone to meet you. How can you be so negligent?"

Hearing this explanation, the four of them also noticed the clue and looked at each other.They also realized that it seemed that someone must be playing tricks on this trip.

Yi Xifeng's heart moved, thinking of the previous group list, he asked calmly: "We are all guards in Tieyi. Usually, in order to complete the operation, who usually informs you of our whereabouts?"

Zhao Chao thought for a while and replied: "The whereabouts of the guard Tie Yi is naturally arranged by your own people who guard Tie Yi, we just accept orders."

"But the internal service team?"

"Uh, yes, that's right! The internal service team is responsible for the operations of the guard Tie Yi." The middle-aged shopkeeper nodded in response.

Yi Xifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself: It's this Zhong Rui again, it seems that in the future action arrangements, there will be tricks by this person.It's really haunting!
The attentive Li Xintian also noticed the change in the expression of the fair boy beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you all right?"

A shy smile appeared from the corner of Yi Xifeng's mouth, and he said, "It's okay, since you've come to Qingchuan County, don't be in a hurry to go to the Qingyun School, just take a stroll first!"

The four of them are all young at heart, and they don't know the mission they undertake, so they all agree with this statement.

The white and clean boy approached the middle-aged man, and said in a low voice: "Since the internal service team is responsible for food and lodging, will the internal service team also need to pay for the necessary expenses for going out to perform tasks?"

When Zhao Chao heard this, he thought for a while and understood the key point. He squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "That's natural, that's natural!"

Seeing that he got an affirmative answer, he stretched out his hand and patted the old man's shoulder. Seeing the stunned expression on his face, he got up and walked out.

"Let's go, let's check the information on Qingyun City first!" Following the Bai Jing boy's words, the four of them headed for the largest restaurant in the city.

……

Jiuhua Tower, the largest restaurant in Qingyun City, is also one of the best restaurants.

There is a difference between a restaurant, a restaurant, and an inn. The gap between them is somewhat similar to the difference between a modern five-star hotel and an express hotel.

Of course, in Qingyun City, it is difficult to have a single restaurant, such as Qingbo Boat, Denghe Pavilion, and Qianshan Mansion. These three restaurants are also as famous as Jiuhualou, but each has its own characteristics, and they are all the best in Qingyun City. One of the restaurants.

The biggest feature of Jiuhua Building is its size!

Jiuhua Building has nine floors, it is more like a tower than a restaurant!However, this place is located at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, with its own mountain springs flowing down, converging into a large lake in the east of Qingyun City, and the Jiuhua Building is built on an embankment adjacent to the lake in the east of the city.

Yi Xifeng and his group brought the big shopkeeper of "Pay Cloud Pawn Shop" to Jiuhua Building.They went directly to the ninth floor, watching the lake in the distance reflect the dripping lake light, and the five of them chose a table with an excellent location.

Xiao Er was also very enthusiastic, but Yi Xifeng obviously didn't give him a chance to display his eloquence.

"The burning knife is a bit spicy, don't want it! You don't need that spring river vinegar fish, I'm almost tired of eating it..." The white and clean boy muttered and read the menu.

The waiter asked with some doubts: "Then what does the guest officer want to eat?"

Yi Xifeng smiled slightly, and said slowly: "I don't want the ones I just said, serve the other dishes again."

Xiaoer was stunned for a moment, and then excitedly replied: "Okay, officer, just wait a moment! I'll get you some food!" After finishing speaking, he happily ran downstairs.

Linley smiled slightly, he had already guessed what Yi Xifeng wanted to do, and the middle-aged shopkeeper also squinted his eyes, as if he hadn't woken up.

As for Zhao Long and Li Xintian, both of them are experienced foodies. One needs to rely on food to strengthen his body because of his skills, and the other simply loves food.So the four other than Yi Xifeng didn't raise many objections.

Soon, delicious dishes were served on the table.

The money venison is made of clean stones on the river bed, and the tender venison legs are cooked in red. The aroma alone makes people's index fingers move!

Steamed Heba Xian, compared with ordinary sauce stew or vinegar, is not as good as steaming directly in the pot.White fish, silver shrimp, red crab, green spot, purple shellfish, black ginseng, green lake algae, yellow lotus stamen!

Honey black bear paws, wild mountain bears in the mountains, paired with white wild honey abundant in Qingyun mountain streams, it is not only the fusion of black and white, but also the best of mountain treasures!

……

Seeing delicious dishes being served on the table, the five of them naturally mobilized with all their strength, and even the middle-aged shopkeeper who had been squinting just now was chopping like flying.

Yi Xifeng drank a pot of spring algae wine from here, the color is green and transparent, it looks similar to the color of the Suxin wine he brewed, but there must not be as many herbs in it, but in terms of pure taste, you need to It's more layered.

Ever since Zhang Ming gave him a pot of spirit-rejuvenating wine that day, it was originally agreed to deliver the wine in March, and the time was almost up. He wondered in his heart whether he would drink it again when he went back this time.

In fact, Yi Xifeng didn't know that the reason why Zhang Ming had the opportunity to follow Li Chengtao and Li Chengqian against Ji Shenfu that day was to give him wine in the first place.

Not a few days after the Baijing boy left Yinren Town, Lin Hengshan led the team back, and of course they also came back with the three altars of "Spiritual Rejuvenation Wine"!
