Chapter 164: Drinking

Qi Xuansu is a layman.

All ordinary people love money. Although Qi Xuansu did not fall in the eyes of Qian, he was very interested in Wang Baoyue's prosthetic hand and Western handgun, so after a little hesitation, he decided to agree. He just put forward one condition: Qingluan Guards would share information and if they caught Wang Baoyue Report to Yue, he will return to Qingluan Guard, and other things will belong to him and Xu Kou. As for how to divide him and Xu Kou, it will not be too late to discuss it slowly after they are caught.

Qingluan Guard's palm hundred households agreed happily. Taiping money is a good thing, but there is no such thing as a good thing in this world. There are always choices.

As for finding Wang Baoyue's whereabouts, Zhangyin Baihu is quite confident.

Killing is not Qingluan Guard's strong point, that is the specialty of the men in black. Qingluan Guard's strengths lie in finding people, spying, solving crimes, collecting and analyzing intelligence, etc. During this search, they targeted the passing ships and determined that the pirates were hiding on the passing ships in order to get past the border. Judging from the results, it was correct. Although there were mistakes in the specific search and no pirates were found, it cannot be said that their intelligence and judgment were wrong.

Furthermore, it is not difficult to make a person disappear silently, but it is very difficult to make a person appear silently without any flaws. The reason why the imperial court and Taoist sects did not abolish the road guide system was because of this situation. Wang Baoyue had no road guide and no identification. It was difficult to hide in a certain place and could only keep wandering. But Qingluan Guard and Hei The man in clothes has laid a trap, and there are alchemists who are good at tracking earth energy to follow him. The layers are shrinking, and his range of activities will only get smaller and smaller.

What Wang Baoyue should worry about is that the trapped beast is still fighting. After all, the purpose above is to capture the beast alive, and it is difficult to use powerful and heavy firearms. As for the heavenly beings who have the ability to capture Wang Baoyue alive, they are the so-called "uppers" and will not do it themselves.

As for why the Hundred Printing Households did not wait to slowly close the net, but asked Xu Kou and Qi Xuansu for assistance, the main reason was that they were worried that Wang Baoyue would escape to the jurisdiction of other Hundred Households, and the cooked duck would fly away, and the credit would be gone. He would also be guilty of poor handling of the case.

After the decision was made, because there was no relevant news yet, Xu Kou was restless, so he led Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu off the ship and landed in the county seat of Wan'an County, saying they wanted to have some fun.

Xu Kou had previously been a Qingluan Guard or transferred to Qizhou Daofu. His main scope of activities was in Jiangbei Prefectures. He had been here before and was quite familiar with it. He took Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu around the county, and soon Arriving at a three-story pavilion with colorful doors.

"No, I have a child." Qi Xuansu looked up at the plaque with a simple and straightforward meaning.

"Just drinking, nothing else." Xu Kou said indifferently, "At most, I can find two girls to pour wine for me. I feel tired pouring wine myself."

Qi Xuansu said helplessly: "I don't even want to expose you."

"I'm a widower at my age. Isn't it normal and reasonable to come to a place like this?" Xu Kou said nonchalantly, "I'm not Qi Tianyuan, blindly eyeing a tigress."

Qi Xuansu was a little unsure for a moment whether Kou was deliberately testing or bringing it up accidentally, with a calm expression on his face: "Who is Qi Tianyuan?"

"A friend and colleague, this guy has an eye on our boss. Originally, a young man is nothing, but Brother Wei doesn't know that our boss is just like a tigress. He has no moral character and can't surrender. I don’t know how angry I will be if I really want to marry him back home,” Xu Kou said casually.

Ever since the news about Qi Xuansu's "death" in order to save Zhang Yuelu spread, there have been a lot less rumors about Qi Xuansu climbing high branches. However, many people still don't think highly of him and Zhang Yuelu. They are very different in terms of their level of cultivation and family background. too much.

Qi Xuansu asked knowingly: "Brother Xu's boss is not Zhang Yuelu, a disciple of Master Cihang, right?"

"Yes, that's her." Xu Kou subconsciously moved his wrist, "Brother Wei, have you heard of it?"

"Not only have I heard of it, but I also met him once in Jiangling Mansion before." Qi Xuansu joked, "He is a nice person, but he is not easy to talk to. Next time I meet Master Zhang again, I must tell her Brother Xu's wise words. ”

Xu Kou coughed lightly: "Let's not talk about her anymore, let's drink."

Qi Xuansu advised: "Since Xuan Sheng revitalized the Taoist sect, from Zhenzhi Zhenren to low-ranking Taoist priests, there are many people who have failed in the affairs of men and women. At worst, they have lost their reputation, and at worst, they have made themselves embarrassed. Some of them are indeed. In some cases, such as the case of Liu Futong from Zixian Mountain not long ago, some cases were framed and framed. Even if he was proven innocent in the end, his bad reputation would still be spread. Brother Xu is now in Yujing, but he is no better than he was in the local government in the past. It’s better to pay attention.”

"Thank you, Brother Wei, for reminding me." Xu Kou suppressed his smile, "But I, Xu Kou, am called 'Little Yama', and I have more handles than hairs on my body. Wherever I need to make excuses and frame up, it's all true. People like me are least afraid of a bad reputation. When people use me, they use the word "ruthless". They use me to do dirty work, just like a rag. There is no room for a worse reputation. If you have too many lice, you won't be itchy. Don’t worry if it’s too much, just let him be.”

Qi Xuansu glanced at Xu Kou in surprise, but he didn't expect him to understand.

Xu Kou walked ahead, Qi Xuansu hesitated slightly and followed with Liu Hu.

Liu Hu was not shy at all, only curious.

Xu Kou was obviously a frequent visitor to this road, and he was familiar with it, so he casually threw a small round to Turtle Slave.

The turtle slave immediately became fawning and attentive. He had seen the three guests a long time ago. The two men looked like government officials. However, he didn't know what it meant to bring a little girl with him, so he didn't dare to approach them rashly. Seeing Xu Kou offering money on his own initiative, he stepped forward to serve and led the three people inside.

Xu Kou casually ordered: "We need a secluded private room. I eat vegetarian food today, so I don't want meat. Two people, no one under 20, but if there are around 30, that would be even better. And some wine, just at the standard of three Taiping coins. If you take me as a scapegoat, don't blame me for not forgiving you."

"Don't worry, sir. We are famous for being fair here and never do bad business." The turtle slave smiled. As for liking older people, it is not uncommon in this business.

Under the guidance of the turtle slave, the three came to a private room and sat down. The turtle slave went out to arrange the girls and wine.

Xu Kou looked around casually and said, "Brother Wei just reminded me to be careful not to fall into trouble in the affairs of men and women. I appreciate it very much, and I will return the favor and tell Brother Wei some of the truth about this. Nowadays, it is different from the past. People laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes. Many women who do this business are willing, not forced by life. But many times, they will make up a nice story to coax you, which is all old routine, nothing more than 'father died, mother is sick, brother is studying, husband is a gambler and borrows money. The whole family depends on me, but I have not been in the industry for long.' Most of the words in the entertainment field are just for fun, don't take them seriously, don't let them get into it."

"Teach you." Qi Xuansu smiled and nodded, sitting aside with Liu Hu.

Not long after, two women who were a few years older than Qi Xuansu came in with trays. They were still good-looking, but they could not hide some traces of age.

Xu Kou raised his hand to signal the two to sit down.

The two women smiled, but their eyes swept over Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu. It was rare to see a brothel with a child.

Liu Hu was also looking at the two. She had read many storybooks when she was bored, and there were always such places in them. The authors often said that there were many people with temperament in the dust, and the little girl could not help but have some unrealistic dreams.

This was right and wrong. It was true that there were people with temperament, but there were definitely not many of them.

So Liu Hu was soon disappointed.

The two women had their own division of labor. One poured wine for Xu Kou, and the other played the pipa and sang softly.

While Xu Kou was drinking, he chatted with Qi Xuansu, exchanging some boxing experience and martial arts experience.

At this time, there was a noise outside.

The two stopped talking.

Liu Hu's eyes lit up.

The storybook also said that such fireworks places are always prone to right and wrong, and it was true.

"Will it not be a play of forcing good women into prostitution?" Qi Xuansu suddenly said.

"Sir, you are too kind. Most likely someone is drunk and causing trouble." The woman who poured wine for Xu Kou had a sharp eye and had already seen that the two were government officials, so she hurriedly said.

Qi Xuansu did not comment and stood up and walked out the door.

The noise came from another private room.
