The old tavern in Jiangcheng under the night.

This tavern is also a time-honored tavern in Jiangcheng. It was born in the Qing Dynasty. It is an ordinary small building with earthen walls, simple furnishings, old furniture, old objects, and the old Baigan spirit that has been passed down for a hundred years.

Guo Quancai invited Shen Qiu to have a sip in the old tavern, a dish of peanuts, a pound of sauced beef, a dish of cold dried shredded rice, and two pounds of mellow Laobaigan, the favorite set of appetizers of old Jiangcheng people.

There were three people sitting at the small square table, Shen Qiu, Guo Quancai, and Cao Donglai.

Cao Donglai no longer had the vigor he had before, he remained silent in front of Shen Qiu and Guo Quancai, poured wine for them respectfully, and lit cigarettes.

"Master Shen, please use..."

Shen Qiu shook his head: "I don't have time to drink, tell me where Xie Jingwen is?"

Guo Quancai stroked his thick gray beard, and pushed the full wine glass to Shen Qiu again: "Drink first, after you finish this drink, you will understand everything after listening to my story..."

"I returned to Jiangcheng more than ten years ago as an all-rounder Guo. My original goal was very clear. I will get up wherever I fall. I want to use what I have learned all my life to remake myself!"

"And then my experience was roughly the same as yours now. In a short period of time, it was like a fairy possessed, quickly accumulated a lot of wealth and fame, and re-formed a new family, with a virtuous and generous wife beside me, and a My five-year-old daughter, I thought my life would enter a better era from now on, but who would have thought that I would still be targeted by people from Yanjing! It was Han Kuisheng who sent someone to find me! Let me join their business meeting."

"The so-called Chamber of Commerce is a small circle of people. The people in it are all elites in the field of antique archaeology. According to them, the footprint of the Chamber of Commerce will cover every corner of the country. Joining this circle will not only quickly Improve your eyesight and experience in appreciating antiques, and you can also get a steady stream of money and wealth."

"I live a more casual life. I don't like being restrained and managed by anyone. Even if they offer good enough and attractive conditions, or even threaten me with various shady means, in the end I categorically refuse. Yes! Because I don't even have the slightest idea of ​​joining them, I just want to be myself..."

"And then their revenge came. It was similar to what happened to you, Shen Qiu. You were in a fire, and I was in a car accident. All four members of my family suffered accidents overnight. If it wasn't because I was in a hurry, I would have died that day. You can't escape, this is the horror of the Yanjing Chamber of Commerce and Trade Association, they will not give you any chance to react with vicious methods, and will never let you have any chance to make a comeback!"

When Guo Quancai said this, he raised his head and took another sip of strong wine, and his eyes turned red: "I thought that you would encounter accidents in this Treasure Fighting Conference, but I didn't expect you to hide a hand, and the desperate counterattack defeated you!" Hong Chaoyang! Lost my eyes! I underestimated you, Shen Qiu..."

"I can't tell how much aura you have in your body, but I can conclude now that with your current strength, you are definitely Jiangcheng's well-deserved Master of Appreciating Treasures. Hong Chaoyang and I are not your opponents! You are also qualified to compete with Yanjing. A group of people wrestled their wrists!"

After listening to Guo Quancai's words, Shen Qiu understood his situation. The reason why he hid his name in Jiangcheng was not because he was afraid that others would know his identity as "Mr. Ghost", but because he was afraid that the group of people from the Chamber of Commerce would find out.

So he chose to hide behind the scenes to help, including Chang Yu's shady secrets and Han Kuisheng's birth date, which he secretly provided.

"The person who burned Xuanbaozhai and took away Boss Xie was young, 53 years old, and his name was Xu Mingliang! This person has a mysterious identity and a strong background. He has opened four boutique antique shops in Yanjing. A senior person in the antique world, this person doesn't show up often, and his strength is very terrifying. According to my observation, he is at least a master of the third-level realm! name, and this..."

Guo Quancai took out a poker card from his pocket, on which were written a series of clear mobile phone numbers: "This is his private mobile phone number, Shen Qiu, that's all I can help you with, you go to Yanjing first, I'll handle it Some things will go later..."

"In addition, I would like to add two more points. The thing about shopkeeper Xie has nothing to do with me. It is Shen Jin who wants to deal with you. Then my things will stimulate the other party. The grievances between me and shopkeeper Xie have long been settled..."

"The imitations I made were to deal with the Shen family. Shen Jin was also Han Kuisheng's running dog back then. Even if you don't break him, I won't let him go..."

Shen Qiu felt relieved, even though it was the first time he met Guo Quancai, the misunderstanding between men only needs a glass of wine to fully understand, everything is in the wine and there is no need to say much.

"I finished this glass of wine... I still want to thank you..."

"Don't drink yet..." Guo Quancai stopped Shen Qiu and said, "I have one more thing to trouble you, it's not too late for you to drink later, the three methods of distinguishing calligraphy and painting you proposed at the Treasure Fighting Conference, the first The three methods are the cotton thread crossing method... That is the identification method handed down from my Zhou family ancestors. Your technique is actually more proficient than mine. You must know that there is no second person who knows this identification method in China. , Shen Qiu, how did you do it?"

"The identification method of your ancestors was taught by a treasure appraiser back then, right? Master Wang Qianshi? Right?"

"really……"

"Master Wang Qianshi is my master..."

"..."

A senior nursing home on the outskirts of Yanjing.

A high-end commercial vehicle parked in front of the nursing home, and Xu Mingliang walked into the high-end ward with two of his subordinates, carrying luxurious nutrition in his hand.

The interior decoration of the ward is exquisite, and the medical conditions are top-notch. An old man wearing a hospital gown is lying on the hospital bed. This old man is none other than Hong Chaoyang, who just came back from Jiangcheng. Yanjing Sanatorium provides meticulous treatment.

"Oh! Brother, are you okay!" Xu Mingliang opened the door and came in to say hello: "I specially bought two 50-year-old ginseng and top-level snow lotus from the Northeast, and I will give you a great boost of vitality when I come back. Eating medicinal herbs can prevent the evaporation of aura in your body!"

"Brother, you have spent a lot of money! These two things add up to millions!" Hong Chaoyang struggled to get up from the hospital bed: "I didn't complete the task that the master took down, and I didn't bring down Shen Qiu. I’m really ashamed to spend money on such expensive supplements!”

"They are all brothers! There is nothing to be ashamed of. When you recover, we will go to Shen Qiu to settle the score! You have fought with Shen Qiu before, and you know Shen Qiu's situation best. It stands to reason that Shen Qiu has no quality." It is impossible for a person of the lower level to persevere to the end! Why did this guy become more and more courageous? I really can't figure it out!"

"Senior brother! I can't figure this out either! Before that, I have already explored Shen Qiu's strength. At most, he is just an experienced treasure appraiser, but somehow he has become full of aura! These two days I also want to Understood, it is possible that this guy is also a master of yin aura! He must have absorbed some rare and rare magic energy, otherwise it would be impossible to advance to the rank barrier within two days! That's why I carelessly lost to him !"

Xu Mingliang nodded and realized: "Now it seems that this is the only possibility. This kid should have rushed to the realm of first-grade and first-weight, and his cultivation base is deeper than yours, so you can't pry him..."

"Brother Xu will have to trouble me at that time. I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with Shen Qiu in this situation..." Hong Chaoyang's face was full of frustration. He was completely degraded after being defeated so far. Not only did he lose a lot of magic energy in his body, but he also ruined his reputation. , There is no chance to stand up again.

"By the way, Senior Brother Xu! How did you deal with the magical artifacts that Xuan Baozhai got? And where did you take that Xie Jingwen?"

Xu Mingliang made a booing gesture to him: "Junior Brother, you shouldn't know about this kind of thing, so you don't need to ask any more questions. You should rest here to recover from your illness. As for that fellow Shen Qiu! You don't need to worry, I'll take care of you in a month at most." Let him go over there to accompany you!"

"Accompany me? Brother? What do you mean this is..." Hong Chaoyang yelled, and immediately saw two men coming down to him, and one of them showed a hard steel wire rope.

"Brother, brother, what are you doing... I have been a cow and a horse for the master for so many years. I have worked hard without credit, right? Just because I lost to Shen Qiu, are you going to kill the donkey now? Brother, save me!" Me!" Hong Chaoyang's expression immediately became tense.

"Junior brother, this is what the master meant, and it's not about killing the donkey. The main reason is that you have no energy in your body. From now on, you will be no different from a useless person. You know that the company does not support idlers..." Xu Mingliang killed decisively, with a gesture, the steel wire rope was firmly tied around Hong Chaoyang's neck.

A few minutes later, there was a cold corpse on the hospital bed. Xu Mingliang straightened the collar of his suit, picked up the supplements on the ground, and walked slowly out of the gate of the nursing home.

"Jingle bell... Jingle bell..."

After walking a few steps, I received a call from an unfamiliar number: "Xu Mingliang? Where is Xie Jingwen?"

"Oh? Shen Qiu? Did you get my number so quickly? Not bad, it's interesting, the young man has two brushes! As for the matter of Xie Boss, don't worry, you will know everything when you come to Yanjing... "

"You wash your neck, I will go!"

"Welcome, welcome..." Xu Mingliang smiled into the phone, his voice full of ferocity: "Shen Qiu, I, Xu Mingliang, promise that if you step into Yanjing's territory, I will let you come and go!"
