Chapter 42 Change!
fragrance!
Not strong, just light.
but!
enough!
'Peiyuan Pill', 'Huxue Zhuangyuan San', 'Yuqing San', 'Shen Chan Wan', 'Xiao Hao Hua Dan' and so on, the flavors that Jason is familiar with, and there are many flavors that Jason is not familiar with in Hongxiangfang Diffuse.
Like smoke and mist.
Standing in the shadows, Jason couldn't help taking a deep breath.
'smell good! '
In his heart, Jason admired.
Then, some guesses appeared in the eyes looking at Hongxiangfang.
Hongxiangfang never had so many fragrances before.
But now, it is naturally because of Cui Longnv, the daughter of the 'big dragon head' Cui Longwang.
In addition, this diffuse feeling is not the taste of the so-called 'secret medicine' itself, but a long-term infection, as if it has been pickled.
Alchemist!
Jason's eyes lit up instantly.
After a period of time, Jason had a good understanding of the dungeon world in front of the other party.
If it is said that warriors are rare, then alchemists are even more rare.
Warriors need talent and money.
The same goes for alchemists.
Moreover, the money needed far exceeds that of warriors.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Wu Zhe is the family of bells and tripods, but when looking at alchemists with the eyes of Wu Zhe, he feels like a pauper.
Because every alchemist needs a long time of training to be successful.
Take the most basic 'Peiyuan Pill' as an example.
If an alchemist wants to be proficient, he needs to practice at least a hundred times. After a hundred times, he is only familiar with it. Not every alchemy can be successful.
Therefore, behind every alchemist, there is either a big family or a big power.
'That 'big leader' is really lucky, and really a big hand. '
Jason admired.
Having the alchemy talent is enough to surprise people, but what is really surprising is that they are still willing to contribute to it, and it is still before it is developed.
'Big Dragon' Cui Longwang's founding of the 'Four Seas Gang' was not smooth sailing at the beginning, and he also encountered many twists and turns. Even at the beginning, it was reluctant to say that it was a small fight, and there was no scene of his Mu-style martial arts gym. big.
But it was under such a premise that the other party forcibly trained his daughter to become an alchemist, which was enough to see the foresight and tenacity of the other party.
The development of the "Four Seas Gang" after that, apart from the efforts of the "big leader" Cui Longwang himself, Cui Longnv's "secret medicine" also contributed a lot.
‘It’s no wonder that Hongxiangfang will become the pocketbook of the ‘Four Seas Gang’. '
'It's no wonder that the 'Four Seas Gang' has developed so fast in recent years. '
As for the price of the 'secret medicine', Jason has long been aware of how much profit a Red Fragrant Workshop that produces 'secret medicine' can generate with a little calculation.
People, money, and force.
It can be called a sentence: stand up and earn money.
only……
Thinking of Cui Longwang's death, Jason frowned.
Before, Jason had suspected that Cui Longwang's death was tricky.
Now?
It is already certain.
Cui Longwang was assassinated.
As for who did it?
It's not clear yet.
Jason didn't think too much about it, he was a bodyguard, as long as Cui Longnv was sent to Xiangcheng, there would be someone to pick him up, and he didn't need to worry about the aftermath.
Of course, if this Cui Longnv is not bad, he doesn't mind cooperating with her.
After all, Jason never disliked having too much food.
So, at this time, Jason quietly appeared outside Cui Longnv's room.
In the room, Xu Dashan was talking with Cui Longnu——
"Miss, Master Mu agreed to escort you to Fragrant City."
Xu Dashan talked about what happened in the martial arts hall before.
"Knowing the danger, he is still willing to help. This Master Mu is a promise. The others..."
A gentle female voice sighed.
"This is also human nature."
"After all, warriors like Master Mu are rare."
Xu Dashan also sighed.
Then, the old owner of Hongxiangfang continued: "Miss, I will go to prepare first, and the ship will leave the pier in a while."
"You go, I'll talk to Hongxiu."
Said the gentle female voice.
"Okay, miss."
Xu Dashan exited the room and walked out quickly.
From the beginning to the end, the old club did not find Jason standing in the shadows, even though the distance between the two sides was only three or four meters.
At night, Cui Longnv's maid, Hongxiu, would pretend to be Cui Longnv to distract some people's attention. Jason had heard about it from Xu Dashan.
From the looks of it, it should be true, Xu Dashan did not lie.
After confirming this, Jason was ready to leave.
But suddenly, Jason stopped in his tracks.
He looked at Cui Longnv's room in a little surprise.
In Cui Longnv's room, there was another fragrance.
It is still the kind of fragrance contaminated with many 'secret medicines'.
Moreover, it smells even more fragrant than Cui Longnv's body.
He should have been hiding in the secret room before, but he didn't smell it. Now that the other party appeared, Jason immediately noticed the smell.
‘It turned out to be two alchemists? ! '
Jason had surprise in his eyes.
The appearance of an alchemist is lucky.
Two alchemists appearing in a certain faction at the same time, this is not just luck, but luck against the sky.
In particular, the two alchemists have achieved success in their practice.
And just as Jason was thinking, he suddenly heard bursts of crying coming from the room.
"Sister Hongxiu, shall we run away?"
"Daddy is dead, I can't lose you anymore."
That gentle voice was full of nasal sounds.
"It's useless."
"The master is dead, without the protection of the master, we can't escape. Even if we escape from the 'mountain city', we will be caught back. At that time, we will only suffer worse."
"So, we can only fight for you, for you to reach Xiangcheng, for those who respond sincerely, and for the people in the 'Four Seas Gang' to recognize the 'leading stick'."
A slightly helpless voice reached Jason's ears.
Obviously, this Cui Longnv's maid, Hongxiu, can see far more clearly than Cui Longnv.
"But this..."
There was hesitation in Cui Longnv's voice.
"We have no way out now."
Hongxiu's voice became firm, and then, suddenly there was a feeling of tenderness, she said softly: "Sister, you must live well, even if you face the worst result, you must live."
"To live is to have everything."
"And you are an alchemist, you are valuable."
"Even those guys won't ignore your value."
"So, when it's a last resort, you have to choose to cooperate with them and make alchemy for them."
Hongxiu spoke for a while.
That kind of pause where the voice choked in the throat.
"Sister I know."
Cui Longnv's voice was full of tears, and then, there was the sound of clinking clothes and rings.
‘Should it be two girls hugging each other and saying their final goodbyes? '
Jason thought so.
He could completely imagine what kind of situation Cui Longnv and Hongxiu would face after they lost Cui Longwang's protection.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are wolves around.
Moreover, this farewell is probably a farewell forever.
Hong Xiu didn't mention her identity as an alchemist, obviously she had made some preparations.
The only Cui Longnu will be more valuable.
Having one more alchemist is not a good thing at this time.
Jason, who guessed what Hongxiu wanted to do, planned to leave.
This is the last time the two girls get together.
It's not suitable for him to be an outsider.
It's the same even if they don't know.
Jason walked slowly towards the outside of Hongxiangfang, but the voice from the room behind him made him stop——
"I hate that it's not a man's body."
"Sister Hongxiu, you are better than any man."
"younger sister."
"elder sister."
In the affectionate words, Jason frowned.
Then, the pace of leaving became faster and faster.
The flowers bloom quite suddenly.
Good guy, really good guy.
A completely dazed Jason returned to his martial arts room. He didn't enter the room, but sat on the roof of the room. He crossed his hands, put his elbows on his knees, supported his chin with the back of his hands, and looked at A quiet 'mountain city'.
The night wind blew, and Jason's lapel rustled slightly.
Occasionally a dog barked in the distance, but it soon stopped.
Only the clapper that the watchman knocked on during the night was left.
Due to his physique and spirit far surpassing that of ordinary people, Jason's sleep became quite low, and he could even go without sleep for more than ten days in a row.
So, he got used to finding a quiet place to think.
Not only thinking about the plan in front of him, but also thinking about everything in the 'City That Never Sleeps'.
From time to time, the sound of beanbags drumming things came from my ears.
Bean buns are like this every night.
There is no rest until late at night.
As for the things that the bean bag drums up, Jason knows a general idea.
But did not delve into it.
When Dou Bao wanted to speak, he would naturally speak, and he would listen.
Prefer not to say?
He won't force it either.
It's a secret.
Everyone has.
Instead of exploring other people's secrets, it's better to think about what to eat tomorrow morning.
And just as Jason was thinking, a torch suddenly lit up on the pier in the distance. Jason was at a height where he could see this bright light, and with Jason's eyesight, he could even see one of the people in the group. Xu Dashan.
'Have you set off yet? '
Jason thought, his eyes involuntarily fixed on the pier.
There was no surprise. After a woman in a cloak boarded the ship, more than 20 men with weapons followed, and then the sailors began to carry supplies and so on.
After about ten minutes, the boat left.
Xu Dashan didn't board the boat, but watched the big boat leave.
Then, the old owner of Hongxiangfang walked towards the city gate.
A carriage stopped there at some unknown time.
"Miss, please be careful all the way."
After leaving the city gate, Xu Dashan said in a low voice.
"Understood, Master Xu Xiang."
"The rest is up to you."
A gentle voice came.
"clear."
Xu Dashan replied.
Compared with the mobilizing crowd at the pier, here there is only one carriage and four fast horses, each of which sits a strong man with shining eyes.
Obviously, each of them is a warrior who has completed the 'muscle'.
Especially the middle-aged man driving the car, his aura is even stronger, at least at the level of 'forging bones'.
"Please, everyone."
Xu Dashan bowed his hands to the five of them.
The five dead soldiers who were completely trained by the 'big dragon head' Cui Longwang nodded coldly, and then, following the whip of the coachman, the team also set off.
After a while, it disappeared into the night.
Xu Dashan stood where he was, and turned around until he could no longer see it.
'Hope everything goes well. '
Xu Dashan thought so.
Two pretended troops set off, and the real lady had already hid in the secret room, where there was enough food and water, and no one knew about the secret room except him.
It's three days away now.
In three days, those people probably couldn't bear to attack the two teams.
But it doesn't matter.
Even if he finds something tricky, he is not afraid.
Because, he is that insurance.
He will make the whole plan complete.
become perfect.
Therefore, he can't wait for something to happen.
Only when something goes wrong, can his plan be launched, and can he turn passive into active.
Of course, if he could, he would never do it.
But things were beyond his expectation.
He didn't expect that those guys would confirm that the eldest lady came to the 'Mountain City' so quickly.
This was confirmed half an hour ago when he went to the pier to make arrangements.
well!
Sitting in the carriage, Xu Dashan's body swayed with the shaking of the carriage. After sighing in his heart, he began to silently count the time.
'It should be almost the same? '
Xu Dashan thought to himself.
Then, the next moment—
call!
fire!
A fire appeared in the night, and when the wind blew, the fire became brighter and brighter.
Flames shot upwards.
After a while, everyone was startled.
"It's out of water!"
"Hongxiangfang is gone!"
The neighbors on Wuguan Street were yelling loudly, and the man who was driving Xu Dashan's car widened his eyes, and shouted anxiously at the carriage behind him: "Master! Master! It's not good! The shop is on fire!"
"what?!"
Xu Dashan opened the curtain with a look of surprise, looking at the burning Hongxiangfang in the night.
"Hurry up! Hurry up and go back!"
"Fire! Fire!"
Xu Dashan shouted loudly.
"Okay, boss, you sit still."
After the guy finished speaking, he shook the reins.
Immediately, the carriage began to accelerate.
However, when Xu Dashan returned to Hongxiangfang, it was still too late.
Hongxiangfang was completely engulfed in flames.
In order to reduce losses, the neighbors on Wuguan Street had to push down the walls of Hongxiangfang to let the flames burn inward.
All of this was done under the command of Brother Xun.
"Be careful, everyone."
"Try not to come near."
Brother Xun commanded the crowd.
Then, he was ready to apologize to Xu Dashan.
It's not that he doesn't want to fight the fire, it's just that the fire is too big.
At this time, if someone went to put out the fire, it would be to die.
Just turning his head, Brother Xun couldn't find Xu Dashan.
"Old Mr. Xu just glanced at it, and then headed towards Mu Shi Martial Arts Hall."
Someone told Brother Xun.
Mu style martial arts?
Brother Xun was taken aback, it was not the first time he had heard of the Mu-style Martial Arts School, the name of the Mu-style Martial Arts School has really been well known in the past month.
He is also a little curious.
However, not this time.
At this time, he needs to fight the fire.
And when Brother Xun directed the firefighting, two black shadows hiding in the corner of the wall just walked towards Mu Shi Martial Arts Hall.
