Chapter 27
Shen Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and soon understood the meaning of Yue Xiao's words.
If Yue Xiao remembered correctly, the medicine powder that Gu Qixiang prepared was the same as the medicine that Zhang Xiuyuan took at that time, so the person who secretly helped Gu Qixiang should be Zhang Xiuyuan's people.
It's too eye-catching to be helped by the disciples of the Lingkong Sect, not to mention that He Zhufeng doesn't seem to agree with Zhang Xiuyuan's actions. clothes people.
Shen Qingyu frowned and asked, "You just smelled the smell, how can you be sure that this is the medicine Zhang Xiuyuan took?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. This scent is unique. Once you smell it, you will never forget it." Yue Xiao said, "Apart from Cai Fuzhou's medicinal powder just now, I only smelled this scent when Zhang Xiuyuan was taking the medicine."
"Gu Qixiang has something to do with Zhang Xiuyuan..." Shen Qingyu murmured, "They really linger."
The two of them remained silent all the way, and returned to the couch. Shen Qingyu wanted to tell Meng Jing about this first, but before he entered the room, he could hear the commotion inside, which was very lively. He looked into the room, just Seeing Ling Zichu sitting at the table, panting against the wall with a fan, as if he was too tired to speak, while Yanyang was talking to Meng Jing excitedly.
So far in their trip to the Western Regions, Salmorro is still the first big city he has ever seen. When the two of Yue Xiao entered the door, they couldn't help being even happier, wishing they could jump over and shout, "Young Master! Senior Yue! You are back!"
Shen Qingyu couldn't help but also became happy, Yue Xiao stretched out his hand to ruffle Yanyang's hair, and Yan Yang grabbed Shen Qingyu's hand with great excitement, and said: "Young Master, when I entered the city with Brother Ling, we were in the street Saw a live lion! Live! Such a big lion!"
He stretched out his hand and drew a big circle, as if to show the size and physique of the lion, Shen Qingyu couldn't help laughing, he poured a glass of water, and was about to moisten his throat, when Yan Yang came over again, saying: "Young master, Along the way, I saw many barbarians with red hair and green eyes."
Shen Qingyu interjected: "The appearance of the Hu people is indeed very different from that of the Central Plains."
Yan Yang hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Then...their green eyes, will they shine like cats at night..."
Shen Qingyu was startled, dumbfounded as to not knowing how to answer, while Yue Xiao was almost choked by Yan Yang's words, waved his hands, and said, "Those are also human eyes, how could they glow!"
Yan Yang couldn't help being extremely disappointed, Qia Mengjing was coming out of the back room, seeing the two of them back, he couldn't help stepping up to ask, "How's the Zhuque Tower?"
Shen Qingyu told Meng Jing about the fact that he and Yue Xiao met Fu Zhou in the Zhuque Tower. Hearing that this matter might have something to do with Zhang Xiuyuan, Meng Jing couldn't help being very surprised. Insufficient, Jiang Yan doesn't know when he will bring people here. After all, the situation is weak. No matter how you think about it, it seems that cooperating with Burning Fire Palace is the best choice at the moment. It's better to have a deep understanding of the situation and a network of people than they are here to check like headless chickens.
What's more, their first target is Suyanghua, so they can't escape fighting Gu Qixiang. If they can defeat Gu Qixiang, after they capture him, they should be able to get the news about Zhang Xiuyuan and the masked man from Gu Qixiang's mouth, and they can also fight Gu Qixiang. It is a good thing to curb the development of that medicine powder in Salmoro.
Meng Jing then asked: "Young master, what do you think?"
"Naturally, we will join forces with the Burning Fire Palace." Shen Qingyu said, "But you must be on guard against others, and you must pay more attention to their actions."
……
The next day, Yue Xiao took Shen Qingyu to Zhuque Tower again, and informed Fu Zhou of their deliberations.
They still had some concerns. Yue Xiao thought that when Fu Zhou asked them several times before whether they wanted to join forces against the enemy, he was the one who solicited them, not Shen Qingyu. They probably didn't know that Shen Qingyu was good at martial arts, but Fu Zhou already recognized Given Shen Qingyu's identity, and they didn't know if Fu Zhou was really trustworthy, then Shen Qingyu's rehabilitation by practicing martial arts would naturally be hidden from them.
Therefore, he was still in charge of this matter. He went to see Fu Zhou and agreed to join forces with Fenhuo Palace. Fu Zhou was overjoyed and invited them into the private room to tell them all the clues that Fenhuo Palace had found.
Gu Qixiang acted cautiously and mysteriously. If it wasn't for his confidant, it would be difficult to see him in Salmorro. Shen Qingyu felt that it was best to start from the shadows. There should be a lot of news from that place, but it is better not to force it. Or pretend to be a customer and play by ear after entering the ethereal room.
Fu Zhou naturally agreed with him. He told the two that Gu Qixiang had hired a pharmacist in the Central Plains and had already made many variations of this medicine. Locked in Gu Qixiang's several residences, it is still not completely sure where Su Yanghua is.
However, according to the news from the Burning Fire Palace, Gu Qixiang must go to other cities to secretly purchase goods every once in a while, and the deployment of the medicinal powder is not carried out in Salmoro. Salmorro, the cargo this time should be no exception. If the wagon can be hijacked, the location of the cargo can be known from the driver and the entourage, and it may be possible to find out where the Suyanghua is. It is bound to scare the snake, and it is bound to be extremely cautious.
Fu Zhou took out the map they had prepared, which marked several shipping routes that Gu Qixiang often walked, and said to Shen Qingyu: "Gu Qixiang transports things that are invisible, and he never dared to follow the official road openly. Specially pick trails where there are many robbers."
Yue Xiao asked: "Is he not afraid of horse bandits on the trail?"
"Gu Qixiang has many martial arts masters in the Central Plains under his command, and he never pays attention to ordinary horse bandits." Fu Zhou said, "But I have formed an agreement with the largest horse bandit gang in Salmorro. If you want to hijack Gu Qixiang's Caravan, they can help."
"Horse bandit gang?" Yue Xiao was startled, and couldn't help laughing, "It's really an outsider."
His words were obviously meant for Shen Qingyu. When Shen Qingyu set up a trap that day, he said in front of everyone that he was a heretic. Shen Qingyu couldn't help but stare at him, and in private, he stretched out his hand and pinched him severely. , telling him to shut up, not wanting Fuzhou to think that Yue Xiao's words were talking about him, so he could only smile awkwardly, and said: "I know Yue Daxia acted openly and aboveboard..."
Yue Xiao was gasping in pain, seeing what Fu Zhou said, he could only cough lightly, and replied in embarrassment: "There should be special methods in special times, I understand."
Fu Zhou continued in embarrassment.
"This medicine is in the hands of Gu Qixiang, and it is no longer as simple as being used by his thug slaves." Fu Zhou said, "He refined the medicine and sold it to wealthy businessmen in the midst of the ethereal, so as to make huge profits."
"Sell it to a wealthy businessman? Such a deadly thing?" Yue Xiao said in surprise, "Ordinary businessmen take this medicine back...do they want to give it to family members?"
"No, this medicine can temporarily numb people's mind and mind. It is extremely powerful in a short period of time, but it is very harmful." Fu Zhou coughed lightly and said, "Gu Qixiang tried every means to reduce the drug's properties, which naturally reduced the harm. The medicine is sold in the misty room where the beauties are like clouds...for fun."
Yue Xiao was caught off guard by choking on a sip of wine and coughing endlessly. Shen Qingyu was also taken aback, and frowned and said, "This medicine is addictive, and after the medicine's effect, the limbs are weak. Those wealthy businessmen can hardly get rid of it after using it a few times. This Gu Qixiang It’s really a good way to attract money.”
"Master Shen is right, but it's a pity that Gu Qixiang is too cautious, and we haven't gotten much usable information." Fu Zhou said, "Although we have formed an alliance with the horse bandits, we are afraid of scaring the snake, so we still dare not Make a move."
"If Gu Qixiang sells this medicine to customers for fun, it means that he must have a large amount of stock on hand." Shen Qingyu thought about it, "Since Miss Pala has sneaked into Piao Miao, do you know where the stock is hidden? ?”
Fu Zhou nodded: "Gu Qixiang only takes the medicine powder that can be used for a certain period of time each time, and stores it in the house of his staff surnamed Yan. After it is used up, he will order the caravan to deliver the medicine powder to Piao Miao. It's about to run out, so I speculate that Gu Qixiang's caravan will bring the medicine powder to Salmoro."
"A staff member surnamed Yan?" Shen Qingyu was taken aback, thinking of the middle-aged man he saw outside the life and death field that day, he was a little surprised, "I seem to have seen him before."
"Gu Qixiang ordered him to take charge of Piao Miaojian. Besides him, there is also a deputy director named Vasa, who is a barbarian with a scar on his left face, which is easy to identify." Fu Zhou said, "The two of them should He is already Gu Qixiang's confidant."
Shen Qingyu nodded: "I understand."
Yue Xiao looked at him with his chin propped up, and said with a slight smile, "How? But do you have another plan?"
"Don't be afraid of scaring the snake." Shen Qingyu said, "This caravan must be robbed."
Fu Zhou was puzzled: "Young Master Shen, what does this mean?"
"Piao Miaojian consumes a lot of medicine powder, and there is not much in stock. If the caravan is robbed and the medicine powder is gone, Gu Qixiang must be in a hurry." Shen Qingyu said, "If you are busy, you will make mistakes. He is in a hurry to replenish the goods, so we can follow him to find them." Find the location of the rest of the medicine powder."
Fu Zhou asked: "So what if you find the medicine powder? Isn't Suyanghua the only one that can cure Young Master Shen's illness?"
Shen Qingyu originally wanted to continue talking, but when he heard Fu Zhou's question, he couldn't help but paused slightly, and gave Fu Zhou a slightly weird look, but quickly covered his expression, and continued, "Find the location of the stock, and then go on." Destroy Gu Qixiang's inventory, then Gu Qixiang will definitely be anxious to prepare a batch of new medicines first, and if he goes away, we will naturally know where Suyanghua is hidden."
But Fu Zhou showed distress, and said: "Master Shen, the Burning Fire Palace is no longer what it used to be, I'm afraid... there won't be so many people out there."
Shen Qingyu knocked on the table in front of Yue Xiao and asked, "When will Senior Brother Jiang arrive?"
He called his senior brother smoothly, but even Yue Xiao was stunned for a moment. After a moment of recovery, Yue Xiao pinched his fingers and counted the days, and replied: "It should be these few days."
"Hero Fu." Shen Qingyu said conveniently, "We will go out to those who rob the caravan."
Fu Zhou agreed in a hurry, and Shen Qingyu worked out the rest of the plan together with him, as well as the best place to hijack the caravan. It is said that there is a good place outside Salmorro City, and they naturally couldn't do it these few days. Being idle, Shen Qingyu planned to explore Piaomiaojian with Yue Xiao again, if he could get some medicine powder, it would be great.
After talking about this matter, Yue Xiao and Fu Zhou made an appointment to see each other again on the day Jiang Yan led people to arrive. He and Shen Qingyu left the Zhuque Tower and returned to the place where they stayed. It was getting late, and Shen Qingyu put on his coat, still cold Shaking a little, frowning slightly, he asked Yue Xiao, "Did you hear that just now?"
Yue Xiao was startled: "What?"
Shen Qingyu showed a strange face, and said: "How did Fu Zhou know... We are looking for Suyanghua to treat my illness."
