Autumn, the eighteenth year of Yongtai.
Lanruo Temple is located on the island in the middle of the lake in Shihe River.
"Taoist Priest, I don't know how to ask Xie to come out alone. Any advice?" When Xie Run followed Miaoyinzi to the courtyard, the rain outside had stopped, and there was still a bright moon hanging in the sky.
At this moment, Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji are still rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the abbot's room, so they will not disturb them.
"Thank you, donor. Do you know what the 'escort' you took this time... is?" Miaoyinzi didn't mince words with him, and asked directly.
Xie Run frowned slightly when he heard this.
Ordinarily, he shouldn’t answer this kind of question. This is against the rules of the escort industry, but the Miaoyinzi in front of him just saved his life. If he didn’t even ask such a question, Answer, it seems a bit unreasonable.
[Reading Benefits] Send you a cash red envelope! Follow vx public [Book Friends Base Camp] to get it!
Besides... this Miaoyinzi is an expert outside the realm. If he covets Xie Run's things, there are many ways to get them, even if he robs them face to face, what can you, Xie Run, do?
Thinking of this, Xie Run became calm and replied: "To be fair to the Taoist priest, this is a treasure that Xie got from the north, but... Xie has little talent and little knowledge. I really don’t know what this thing is called.”
“Hmm…” Mianyinzi nodded, “Then do you know where this thing came from?”
“ This..." Xie Run hesitated again, but still said, "This thing was obtained by Xie from a Tatar in Huai'an County, but where did he get it..."
< p>He is telling the truth.More than two months ago, the General Bureau of Yiyong Escort Bureau received a letter saying that they needed to send an experienced and reliable escort to go north to Huai'an County alone to pick up the escort, and then escort a group of escorts. A "thing" went south and was delivered to Lingnan Wujian Villa.
Putted in the envelope along with the letter, there is also a banknote of considerable denomination.
Part of this money is a deposit for the escort agency, and the other part is given to the contact person when picking up the escort.
As for why the other party only needs "one person", they also explained it in the letter. They said that this thing is not big and one person can easily take it on the road. If there are more people to escort, it will be too showy and increase the risk. .
Someone may ask again, why can’t it be two or three people? It wouldn't be unassuming if two or three people hit the road, right?
This... Anyway, they didn’t write it in the letter, and the people from the escort agency didn’t have anyone to call to ask.
In short, since they said they need one person, then just be alone... Escort agencies are still in the service industry after all, and what customers need is what they are willing to dedicate.
Who can be sent?
What they had been thinking about for a long time was to let Mr. Xie take a trip.
After all, the income of this single escort is quite a lot, and the journey is far away. If you want to go alone, you will definitely have to send a soldier.Someone who has enough skills, courage, and experience in the world.
So Xie Run quickly packed his bags and headed north to Huai'an. According to the instructions in the letter, he found the Tatar who contacted him and got the "colorful glass glue" from him. .
After that, Xie Run went all the way south until he came to Xinyang, and everything was fine; of course, he was also an old escort, so even if nothing happened, he would still remain vigilant.
Unexpectedly... Today, in the Lanruo Temple above the Shihe River, he actually encountered Tian Wude, the doctor of the robbery escort, and the monster "Tongchen Daojun" one after another.
But in fact, until the crisis passed, Xie Run still didn't know that his encounter with Tong Chen was just an accident, but his encounter with Tian Wude was arranged by someone.
So who arranged it?
The spokesperson in our book here is none other than Xiao Zhun, the owner of Wujian Villa.
And the person who sent the letter to Yiyong Escort Bureau was naturally him.
So which song is Master Xiao singing? Why did he want to find someone to rob the escort he entrusted? And why do you want to find someone like Tian Wude?
Listen to me slowly...
First of all, colorful glass glue can only be obtained in the North, and it is extremely rare.
How rare is it? It’s almost the same as your chance of encountering giant pandas or tigers when you go to the deep mountains and forests now.
This does not mean that you can buy it if you have money, but even if you have money, you have to wait... until the goods appear before you can buy it. It may be days, months, or even A few years...
It is impossible for Xiao Zhun to send his men there to stay there for a long time and search slowly, because at that time a Central Plains person ran to Beiyuan, who knows what will happen if time goes by What are you saying... This person may die there and never come back.
Fortunately, there is a group of people who can help him solve such problems.
They were a group of vagrants living on the border between Dashu and Beiyuan. They were mixed descendants of Tatars and Central Plains people from the previous dynasty. They were neither accepted by the Zu people nor recognized by Beiyuan. So I did some brokerage business at the border between the two countries.
You can think of them as the "comprador businessmen" of that era, because they mastered both languages and took advantage of the unequal information between the two sides, so the business was prosperous. rise.
From livestock and agricultural products to antiques and weapons, from cultural and educational classics and martial arts secrets to slaves and beauties... there is almost nothing they can't get; as long as you can afford the money and have the Just wait patiently.
Xiao Zhun is not short of money, and he is also very patient.
So he found someone to pay the money, and then waited for a reply.
Don’t be afraid that those brokers in the North will not do anything after taking the deposit. They are more trustworthy than the profiteers in the Central Plains. After receiving your money, they will definitely help you find it. If you can’t find it, There is nothing I can do. Once I find it, I will never raise the price again. I promised you at the beginningAs much as you want.
Just like that, after a period of time, there was a reply from the other side, which probably means: The goods are now available. When will this customer send someone to pick them up?
Xiao Zhun thought about it... I can't trust these grandsons in the villa and the "foreign aid" I hired... let them handle money or do some work of killing people and seizing swords. It's no problem. After all, it doesn't matter if I lose my money, and swordsmen have plenty of swords. But this colorful glass glue is rare in the world. If it falls into their hands, if something happens, God knows when I can find the second piece. ?
After much thought, he decided to simply ask Yiyong Escort Agency to deliver it. Compared to his subordinates, they were more trustworthy.
Don’t think he is a thief yet, his logic is actually correct.
Those disciples of Wujian Villa all "give up their swords" in order to "seek swords" and then join the Villa. They are not originally Xiao Zhun's disciples, they just use swords to change swords. , there is no friendship to talk about. Even if some of them are willing to be Xiao Zhun's subordinates and serve him, they just want to flatter him and learn more tricks... In terms of loyalty, these people may not be as loyal as Kang Haijiao. This kind of "foreign aid" was recently recruited by Xiao Zhun, because Kang Haijiao was grateful to Xiao Zhun for giving him a chance to get ahead.
But the Yiyong Escort Bureau is different. They do not do things for loyalty, but for money, and for the credibility of their own escort agency. Compared with the group of people under Xiao Zhun, this "No. 1 Escort Bureau in the Central Plains" "The reputation is obviously much more reliable.
Besides, according to Jianghu rules, the escort agency is obliged to keep clients confidential.
Once you take the escort, where did you come from, where did you run, who did you take the escort from, who gave it to you, and who gave you the money... these things they Everything must be kept confidential; neither information will be passed on to others, nor will any additional inquiries from customers be made.
So, it is not easy to open an escort agency, and you really won’t get your money in vain.
But Xiao Zhun... is quite suspicious. As you can see from the reasoning about Kang Haijiao in the previous article, this guy thinks "more" when things happen.
Even if he heard that the Yiyong Escort Bureau had sent the third boss Xie Run to personally escort the escort, he was still worried.
To be on the safe side, Xiao Zhun sent several teams out, including "clients" and "foreign aid". These people had been following Xie Run since they entered Huai'an County. There were not many people, just two or three, and each of them followed them for a short time, because they were afraid that they would arouse Mr. Xie's suspicion if they followed for a long time.
In addition to being responsible for helping Xie Run fend off ordinary thieves, these people were also ordered to "monitor several other teams at the same time" to guard against betrayal.
Can it be a coincidence that Xie Run was so peaceful all the way from Huai'an County to Xinyang? Everyone knows the security of Dashu by heart. The number of thieves and bandits who have appeared in this book so far can hardly be counted on two hands... If it weren't for the secret operation of Master Xiao, Xie Run'sCan the journey be so comfortable?
However, Xiao Zhun also understood that if Xie Run was too comfortable, it would be unreal, and he would have to be robbed at least once or twice to make it look natural.
So, he asked his "foreign aid" to come forward and hired Tian Wude, a third-rate gangster, and told him that the third-in-command of the Yiyong Escort Bureau was escorting a priceless treasure alone. Kill him. Not only can you seize treasures and make a fortune, but you can also become famous.
Tian Wude didn't dare to do it at first. He was no match for Xie Run. But when Xiao Zhun's men told him the secret of Xie Run's "cover door location", Tian Wude felt that This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give it a shot.
Lao Tian didn’t know that Xiao Zhun deliberately gave him outdated information about the location of the cover. To put it bluntly... Xiao Zhun wanted to trick him into dying from the beginning.
That day, when Xie Run met Tian Wude and Sun Yixie on the Shihe River, Xiao Zhun’s men around him had already received the news and evacuated. This was to give Tian Wu You have to leave a chance to make a move.
Taking a step back, even if he hadn't encountered anything like Taojun Tongchen, Tian Wude would still be waiting for the opportunity. Of course...he would not be able to succeed.
According to Xiao Zhun’s plan, after Tian Wu’s delivery is over, there will be one or two similar “dart robbers” in the future, but they all look dangerous, but are actually free... ...After these scenes have been performed, Xie Run's escort trip will become quite real. In the following trip, Master Xiao's men will continue to protect Xie Run's safety.
However, when the colorful glass glue is obtained... the situation is different again.
Although Xie Run didn't know what the things he was escorting were, and he didn't ask any more questions, he had seen the real thing after all. If he didn't die, Xiao Zhun would not be relieved.
However, Xie Run must not die on the way to escort the escort, let alone his Wujian Villa, or even die in the near future...
His death must not leave any trace, There must be no trace, and no one can connect it with this escort.
And "Stealing Life" can undoubtedly satisfy these.
Naturally, Xiao Zhun himself does not know how to use Taoism, but he has a "friend" who does. We will explain who this friend is later.
In short, with the help of this friend, the owner of the village, Xiao, successfully used a bunch of copper coins mixed with other silver coins to cast a curse on Xie Run when he was settling Xie Run's darts.
For a whole year after that, Xiao Zhun did not take action. Until now, a year later, his work of collecting blood swords has basically been completed, and the "sword refining" plan is about to begin. The "Ming-stealing Yu" was mobilized to remove Xie Run, a possible insider.
Take a look, does this Master Xiao also have the intention of "exhausting all plans"? No matter how we look at it from a third party's perspective, at least he thinks he is...< /p>
Now that the explanation is here, I think all of you readers will know the ins and outs of this matter.It's back to Miao Yinzi and Xie Run.
After listening to Xie Run's answer, Miaoyinzi nodded and said: "Thank you, donor. It may not be a bad thing if you don't know much." After he said this half of the sentence, the conversation changed again. , "But you have to understand...sometimes, even if you do something unintentionally or unintentionally, you can't stop others from being malicious towards you."
Xie Run can hear this subtle sound. There was something in the words, as if he wanted to remind himself of something, so he quickly bowed respectfully and asked: "I am stupid, who is this 'other', I hope the Taoist priest will make it clear."
"Hey~ I will still follow if you can make it clear. Why are you talking about these nonsense?" Miaoyinzi is also quick-tongued and speaks in a down-to-earth manner. "There are some things I can say, and some I can't. If I say them clearly, I will draw my own karma. "It's not worth it to burn yourself." He paused, "Today I also thank the donor for your integrity and think of your future situation, so I gave you some advice."
"Then..." Xie Run was confused by what he heard, but he still lowered his head and said, "In any case, Xie thanked the Taoist priest."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. The most important thing is that I haven't thanked you yet." Tell me." Miaoyinzi laughed.
Xie Run continued: "The key thing is..."
"Listen carefully." Miaoyinzi said, "There is a big disaster in your life, and it will happen soon. But which day is this 'not day'... Well... To be honest, I can't be sure..."
He is telling the truth, Miao Yinzi's ability to calculate doom is obviously not as good as his. Senior Brother Fuzi, Fuzi can calculate such things to a specific date every time, but Mianyinzi can only calculate things, but not the date, so he gave Sun Yixie the "Shou Po" Shiya only said that it would be useful in the future, but did not say when.
"Anyway, you have to remember..." Miaoyinzi continued, "If you have passed that calamity, and someone comes to ask you to find out the root cause of this calamity, you can tell you what you are doing today." I will tell them the journey from beginning to end, and then the truth will be revealed..."
