Chapter 366 Double Assassination

Chapter 366 Double Assassination

The first person to come to Zhao Yushu was Master Xia. This Brother Gai was now much more honest when he met Zhao Yushu, at least he didn't dare to look so directly at him anymore.

"Boss Bai."

"Mr. Xia, what's the important matter that you are looking for me today?"

"I heard that Boss Bai went to Dirty Street yesterday?"

Zhao Yushu nodded and said, "Yes, I talked to a fourth master from Zang Street, but we didn't get along. The fourth master was kind enough to send me across the river and told me not to go there again. Speaking of which, Mr. Xia, the fourth master, it turns out that he is also a member of your Cao Gang."

Young Master Xia sighed and sat down casually: "To be honest with you, Boss Bai, there is some grudge between us and Jiang. If you have nothing to do in the future, Boss Bai can just play here."

Zhao Yushu naturally wouldn't ask about any grudges, after all, he was just a merchant now: "Then Mr. Xia didn't come to me just to talk about this matter, did he?"

"Oh, this is just a side note. Brother Niu said that he would ask Boss Bai if it would be convenient for him to write a letter to your boss in Xijing. I will be there in a few days."

Zhao Yushu laughed and said, "Writing a letter is reasonable, but Mr. Xia, are you planning to ignore me and contact Xijing directly?"

Mr. Xia was stunned: "Why does Boss Bai say that?"

Zhao Yushu sneered, "We won't talk about the price or the specific goods. The Cao Gang will just ask me to write a letter to hand over the route to Xijing. I'm not the only one working under Master Chen. If your gang just dumps me, how can I complain?"

Master Xia smiled awkwardly: "We in the Cao Gang have always been very disciplined in doing business."

Zhao Yushu snorted coldly, obviously not believing it.

"So what does Boss Bai want?"

"Simple. I will pay a deposit of 1,000 taels, and you will prepare 1,000 taels of goods. I will go with Master Xia. When we get there, Master Chen will know what I am for. Of course, we need to figure out what this 1,000 taels is for."

"It makes sense."

"I don't know, Mr. Xia, can you be the boss of this deal?"

"Of course, a mere one thousand taels..." Master Xia was halfway through his words when he saw Zhao Yushu shaking his head: "The deposit is only one thousand taels, there are many more goods to come, ten thousand taels? Twenty thousand taels? Can Master Xia still make the decision?"

Mr. Xia hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss Bai, please wait a moment. I will give you an answer later."

Zhao Yushu pretended to see the guest off, closed the door and chuckled, thinking that he would meet some important people again soon.

Sure enough, before noon, Master Xia came to the inn to deliver a message, but came to nothing. Zhao Yushu would certainly not wait for him here. What he wanted to do had to wait until the evening. What if the other party came in the morning and invited him to a luncheon?

It was naturally easy for Young Master Xia to find Zhao Yushu, after all, there were people from the Cao Gang following him. However, he did not dare to directly expose the fact that he was following him, so he was forced to come again in the afternoon and changed the lunch invitation to a dinner, for which he was scolded by Master Xia again.

Zhao Yushu straightened his clothes and walked towards a courtyard near Goutang in the rising moonlight. This was the meeting place of the Cao Gang in Jiangbei. It was not secret, but outsiders would definitely not know about it.

Zhao Yushu had sensed three or five spiritual power fluctuations sweeping past him along the way, but they all passed by him quickly. Most of them were observing behind him. They must have been afraid that the so-called Mr. Six was following him.

"Master Xia, no problem." A servant rushed over and said, Master Xia nodded: "Then please ask Boss Bai to come over."

Not to mention that it was only one thousand taels of deposit, even if it was ten thousand taels, the Cao Gang would not take it seriously. However, if they could reach a stable deal with the big shots in Xijing, it would be a great benefit to the Cao Gang. After all, most of the Cao Gang members are ordinary people and they still need to enjoy themselves and eat.

Zhao Yushu looked around the house curiously, and was led into the dining hall by a servant. At the first seat was an old man in his forties or fifties with a cane, and the second seats on both sides were people he didn't know.

Zang Niu and Jiao Niang, who had met before, sat in the third seats on both sides. Further down were two people who were obviously the shopkeepers. Opposite the main seat was an empty seat reserved for them.

It seems that it is not very polite to leave this seat for myself, but this time we are mainly discussing business, so it is reasonable to leave this seat opposite to the main seat.

"Boss Bai, my name is Xia Jing. I have long heard of your name." The old man stood up, and everyone followed suit and bowed in unison.

"Master Xia is an elder of our Cao Gang. When the leader is away, Master Xia takes charge." Zang Niu introduced Zhao Yushu.

"Bai has met Master Xia."

"These two are the worshippers of our gang, both are masters."

The next two nodded as a greeting. They were only there to provide escort and there was no need to be polite with a mortal.

"Boss Bai and I have met each other. These two are the shopkeepers in charge of food and herbs. They will mainly talk to Boss Bai later."

The two shopkeepers greeted each other politely. If the man in front of them could really bring in a business worth tens of thousands of taels, then it was indeed worth their courtesy.

"Please sit down, let's eat and talk at the same time." Grandpa Xia sat down first, and everyone raised their glasses and drank the first glass.

What followed was nothing more than some flattering of each other, and then someone pretended to intentionally or unintentionally ask Zhao Yushu about some of the customs of Xijing. Fortunately, Old Zhao did live in Xijing for some time, and when he directly reported Chen Yuanwai's specific address, all doubts basically disappeared.

We will talk about the issue of price and quantity later. There is nothing much to say about this aspect of Zhao Yushu, so he apologized and claimed that he was going to the toilet.

Just as he walked out of the hall, darkness suddenly enveloped the entire courtyard, and then Zhao Yushu's surprised voice came from the darkness at the right time: "Why is the light out?"

The two priests noticed the fluctuation of spiritual power at the first moment and almost instinctively protected Master Xia. Just as their vision recovered, they saw a flash of green light in the darkness and a figure broke through the window and entered.

"Zhao Yushu!" Zang Niu looked at the expressionless scholar holding a pitch-black dagger, his body rushing towards him like a shadow.

With a thud, Old Zhao pushed the door open and ran in. He seemed to be tripped by the threshold and fell forward. But no one was in the mood to pay attention to him, because Zhao Yushu in mid-air pounced forward like a tiger and swung his left hand, as if throwing out an invisible weapon.

The two priests also had the fifth level, but their entire attention was on Master Xia, and they had no time to remind Zhao Yushu of the target in the direction of his wave of his hand.

Zang Niu was only at the second level of heaven. He could only see Zhao Yushu swing his hand, and then he felt a chill on his neck.

what happened?

What did he do?

Why do I have no strength?

Zhao Yushu landed on the dining table in mid-air, causing plates and food to fly everywhere.

Zang Niu fell to the ground slowly. In front of Zhao Yushu who was lying on the ground, everyone saw Boss Bai shouting, "There's an assassin!" He jumped up and ran out, and then Zhao Yushu at the dinner table seemed to chase him out closely.

A priest gritted his teeth and ran out of the door, only to see Boss Bai hiding behind a beam, while Zhao Yushu had disappeared.
