Chapter 38
Yan Yang lowered his head, and followed Shen Qingyu and others to leave the inn, but it seemed that he never regained his senses, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Since they have met Gao Yi here, He Zhufeng is naturally also in that inn, he is also Zhang Xiuyuan's master after all, if they don't get together, they will run into Zhang Xiuyuan there, so it is better to simply change to another place to stay.
Ling Zichu and Jiang Yan went back to pack up the soft sundries, and they went to the next inn first.
When Yue Xiao was talking to the inn clerk, Yan Yangfang took a cautious look at Shen Qingyu and spoke again.
"Young master." Yan Yang bit his lip and said hesitantly, "Then...the medicine..."
He just uttered a few words, then immediately shut his mouth, lowered his head again, and even pinched himself, wanting to slap himself hard, as if he was blaming himself for saying such words.
He just wanted to ask Shen Qingyu if he could give up that plant of spirit-sending grass to He Zhufeng. How precious it was, how could he ask Shen Qingyu to hand over the Jilingcao?
But He Zhufeng is his master, he has grown so big, except for Shen Qingyu and Yue Xiao, it is the master and the third senior brother who treat him the best. Now that the master is seriously ill, he obviously has a way, how can he stand by and watch ?
He was very conflicted in his heart, and he didn't know how to make a decision for a while, but Yue Xiao, the shop assistant, turned around and walked back after finishing talking. Frowning, he deliberately opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere and said, "Are you hungry? Amu Yanyang, go and put the things away, we will go out and eat something before coming back."
Yan Yang was dejected, nodded obediently, and was about to turn around, but Shen Qingyu stopped him.
Shen Qingyu: "Yanyang, wait a moment."
Yan Yang stopped in his tracks: "Yes..."
"He Zhufeng is your master. It's human nature for you to worry about him." Shen Qingyu said, "But you should also remember what happened in the Western Regions. This spiritual herb may be of no use to his illness."
When Yan Yangfang thought of this matter, he also panicked, and forgot about the strange medicinal powder he saw in the Western Regions, but if it was according to what Shen Qingyu said, it would mean——
Yan Yang said happily: "Young Master! Can Dr. Ling cure this poison!"
Shen Qingyu nodded: "You can give it a try."
Yan Yang suddenly became full of energy, he was extremely happy, he pulled Amu and jumped to the side of the carriage to help the villa disciples pack their luggage, after a while, he jumped over again, rushed to the two of them, hugged Shen Qing vigorously Yu, with a cheerful tone: "Thank you, young master!"
But before he could finish his sentence, Yue Xiao had already lifted his back by the collar, pulled him back, and said, "You child, thank you, thank you, why are you moving..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Yang turned around, reached out to hug him, and said happily, "Thank you, owner!"
Yue Xiao: "..."
Yue Xiao shut up.
Seeing Yan Yang happily going back to carry his luggage, he couldn't help muttering: "This kid really knows how to coax people."
Shen Qingyu shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "I see that you are being coaxed very happily."
Yue Xiao laughed. He and Shen Qingyu stood by the side of the road, waiting for Jiang Yan and Ling Zichu to come here, and he leaned against the door of the inn. It was rare to be idle these days, so he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was resting. After a while, he opened his mouth, Asked Shen Qingyu: "Do you want to give them the Spirit Grass?"
Shen Qingyu nodded.
"One herb can be exchanged for the great help of He Zhufeng and Gao Yi. This is a great deal. Why don't I trade it?" Shen Qingyu said, "Gao Yi doesn't know what Zhang Xiuyuan did, and He Zhufeng was forced to Well, if we take this opportunity to win over He Zhufeng, we may be able to make the entire Lingkong faction stand by our side in the future."
Yue Xiao nodded: "There is some truth."
"What's more, I think that Zhang Xiuyuan's bait here is a bit of a test." Shen Qingyu said in a low voice, "Maybe he is just guessing, and he should not be sure who took it. Going astray."
During the trip to the Western Regions, they should have not revealed their identities and really knew who they were. People like Rong Leshan had already been killed by Yan Linzhi.Zhang Xiuyuan should just infer from the disappearance of the Suyang flower, guessing that someone wanted to use the flower as medicine to practice magic skills, and the person who was most likely to take away the diversion was of course someone related to the Shen family.
"They may be suspicious of elder brother." Shen Qingyu smiled helplessly, "Or it was you."
Zhang Xiuyuan didn't know the relationship between Shen Qingyu and the demon leader Ling Xingzhi, and none of them knew that Shen Qingyu was the orphan of the demon leader. Even if they speculated on the divergence, they could only infer that they were in collusion with the demon sect and found out about it, so He took away Qiqi from the Shen family, and found another person to learn magic skills. Now that he has entered a bottleneck, he needs Suyang flowers to send spirit grass and other things to help his skills increase.
Yue Xiao felt as if he had understood Shen Qingyu's plan.
If they went directly to get the Lingling Herb, it would prove Zhang Xiuyuan's conjecture, but if they gave the Lingling Herb to Gao Yi, it might temporarily confuse the public.
"The righteous brother will tell Gao Yi on our behalf that the spiritual grass is useless to He Zhufeng's illness." Shen Qingyu said, "Gao Yi will give us the spiritual grass sooner or later."
"Qing Yu, do you still remember that this is an auction organized by the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce?" Yue Xiao was silent for a moment, and then asked, "The auction requires money."
"Of course I remember." Shen Qingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't need to spend a penny to get what I want, and I can also earn the gratitude from the leader of Ling Kong, why not?"
Yue Xiao shook his head and smiled lowly, while reaching out his hand, he tapped Shen Qingyu's head, and said, "It's bad."
Shen Qingyu didn't dodge either, instead he said: "That's Bishop Yue Dazhuang."
"Nonsense." Yue Xiao frowned, "I never taught you this."
Shen Qingyu smiled without saying a word.
While the two were chatting, Ling Zichu and Jiang Yan had also arrived here. They packed up their things. Yue Xiao and the innkeeper asked where the best restaurant in the city was, and brought a few people there for dinner. They were wealthy businessmen, or they were people from the big sect, they went at the time of meal, and there was no private room in the restaurant, so they had to find a seat at random in the corner of the second floor.
Although it is spring now, the spring day in the south of the Yangtze River is still very wet and cold. Jiang Yan didn't even listen to the name of the dish reported by the shop assistant, so he ordered two pots of good wine without saying a word. Under the circumstances, he even felt that the two jars of wine were too little, but unexpectedly, Yue Xiao carefully looked at Shen Qingyu's expression, as if he was worried that Shen Qingyu would be unhappy when he drank. Going down, Fang looked away, but Shen Qingyu said: "Two jugs are too little, brothers, don't you drink?"
Before Shen Ruiwen could speak, Yue Xiao happily said, "Drink! Two more pots!"
Shen Ruiwen: "..."
At the beginning, Shen Qingyu didn't want Yue Xiao to drink, it was only because Zhang Xiuyuan poisoned Yue Xiao's wine in the previous life, but now Zhang Xiuyuan would never have the chance to poison Yue Xiao again, so Yue Xiao drank whenever he wanted, why did he want to drink? Intervene more?
Shen Ruiwen didn't want to talk to them, so he simply turned his head and ordered food from the waiter. When the waiter went down, he turned his head expressionlessly, looked at the people on the table, and snorted coldly.
Shen Qingyu had no choice but to smile bitterly. Although Shen Ruiwen's attitude towards Yue Xiao has improved a lot now, the two of them really don't get along with each other from the bottom of their hearts. He wanted to persuade Shen Ruiwen more, but he didn't want a few new diners to come up to the second floor of the restaurant , those few people were all carrying weapons, they looked like people from the quack, they sat down with their backs facing them across the screen, the shop assistant served tea, and one of them continued the topic they had just said in a low voice: "I heard that, then The Xinglong Chamber of Commerce also invited the Shen family to come here."
Shen Qingyu suddenly heard the word Shen, and couldn't help turning his eyes slightly sideways, looking at those people.
"Someone saw them at the inn today." Another young man in gray said, "The young master Shen really walked with Yue, and I think the rumors may be true."
These people were obviously talking about Shen Qingyu and Yue Xiao, but what rumors did they mention... Shen Qingyu couldn't help frowning and glanced at Yue Xiao. What rumors can be uploaded in the Jianghu of the Central Plains.
"If it's true, it would be too ridiculous." Another person said, "He is also the son of a famous hero, and he ran to be someone else's slave."
Ling Zichu almost spit out a mouthful of tea, and couldn't help coughing while covering his mouth.He raised his eyes to look at Shen Qingyu and Yue Xiao, as if he wanted to laugh, but swallowed it back, and simply turned his head, as if he wanted to hear what other wise opinions the two behind the screen could have.
"He did it for revenge, so there must be nothing he can do about it." The gray-clothed youth sighed, as if feeling a little emotional, "He was able to endure humiliation at such a young age, and in the future he will definitely not be a thing in the pool, but that villain surnamed Yue It is too much to take advantage of people's danger like this."
Ling Zichu finally couldn't help laughing and fell on the table. He tried his best to hold back his voice so as not to be discovered by those two people. He reached out to grab Shen Ruiwen's arm, but was thrown away by the furious Shen Ruiwen. Jiang Yan was expressionless. Nothing was touched, but Shen Qingyu and Yue Xiao showed embarrassment, only Ah Mu, who was not good at learning Chinese, grabbed Yan Yang's hand and asked him in a low voice what "Ji/脔" meant.
Shen Qingyu was so angry that his teeth itch, but he was helpless. He wanted to teach these people a lesson, but he must not reveal his identity, so he had to grit his teeth and bear it, while Yue Xiao leaned over and murmured in his ear Said: "Qing Yu, this is not what I said..."
Shen Qingyu glared at him, and before he could speak, Shen Ruiwen couldn't take it anymore, almost slammed the table and stood up, angrily walked in front of those two people, and said: "Put your shit on!"
