Chapter 370: Enemies All Over the City

San Ye’s own shop is located in the very center of the antique street. The decoration is also the most elegant, and the plaque at the door is very nice.

Juxian Pavilion.

Zhao Yushu's expression was a little awkward, and he really wanted to ask, "What's your surname, Third Master?" Is it You? Are you interested in going to Dabei Temple to learn Yi Jin Jing?

"Boss Bai is very interested in the name of the shop?"

"Well, it reminds me of an old friend named Xiao, who once left many legends in a place called Juxianzhuang."

"Juxian Manor? Where is it?"

Zhao Yushu laughed and said, "Let's not talk about this. I wonder what treasures the Third Master has. Let me open my eyes."

"Of course they are all top-quality treasures, please!"

The customary fruits, cakes and tea were served, but the Third Master did not rush to take out the so-called treasures. Instead, he sat down next to Zhao Yushu leisurely and asked: "Master Bai, what kind of business do you want to do when you come to Xiangzhou this time?"

"Mr. Bai has already reached an agreement with our master."

Before Zhao Yushu could speak, Niu Qiu interrupted him hurriedly.

"Loach, either shut up and do your duty, or go back to being your bed-warming maid. I'm going to chop you up right here. Does your young master, the bunny, dare to look up and glare at me?"

Loach's face suddenly turned red, but he held it in and dared not say anything.

"Third Master, you don't have to bother with him. Loach, go back if you are fine. I am here with you, so I don't think there will be any danger."

"this·····"

Niu Qiu was a little hesitant. The core task given to him by Master Xia was to keep an eye on Zhao Yushu. Now these two people wanted to send him away. If he tried to keep him, the Third Master would really chop him into pieces.

"Go ahead, when you go back, just tell the truth, Mr. Xia will understand everything."

Zhao Yushu advised him again, and Loach had to leave in shame.

Zhao Yushu took another sip of tea and said, "I am engaged in grain and medicinal materials business with the Dog Hall. I paid a deposit of one thousand taels. If the Third Master also has good business, and it happens that I win another one thousand taels at the Dog Hall, I can barely pay the deposit again."

The Third Master stroked his beard and said, "Boss Bai is a quick-witted person. I also have business here, but it's not this kind of business."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

"No hurry, look at something first."

The Third Master suddenly stopped the topic, turned back to the inner hall and took out a wooden box.

"Look."

When the wooden box was opened, spiritual light filled the air, and it turned out to be a spiritual object.

"It's not a good thing, it can barely be considered a top grade yellow grade. If a woman wears it, it can add a bit of color to her look."

Zhao Yushu suddenly realized that this was a physical beauty magic tool.

"It's really a good thing, but how do I sell it?"

"give you."

Zhao Yushu smiled: "There is an old saying, no reward without merit."

The Third Master was quite satisfied with this sentence: "I want to buy Mr. Bai's people to lure Mr. Zhao Yushu, the sixth master of the academy."

Zhao Yushu paused while drinking his tea and said, "Third Master is much braver than the people in the Dog Hall."

"Hahaha, no matter how brave you are, you can't be as brave as Master Bai. The fourth brother didn't let you cross the river yesterday, but you came here in a swagger today. The whole Xiangzhou knows that Zhao Yushu wants to kill the Cao Gang members. Not only do you do business with Gou Tang, but you also plan to come to the south of the Yangtze River, for fear that he doesn't know that you have a close relationship with the Cao Gang. Boss Bai, if he doesn't know, he would think you are Zhao Yushu's spy."

Zhao Yushu's smile froze. You are such a talented person. You actually guessed it right.

"Since Third Master knows that I'm Zhao Yushu's spy, why do you dare to meet me in person? Aren't you afraid that Zhao Yushu will kill you?"

"It's a deal! I've been waiting for him to come, otherwise I wouldn't have discussed this deal with Boss Bai!" The Third Master's body was shining with spiritual light, and even without Zhao Yushu's eyes, he could sense that this man had reached the sixth level of cultivation.

Zhao Yushu showed a look of surprise at the right moment, but then turned it into a noncommittal smile.

The Third Master was slightly stunned. "Boss Bai may not know much about cultivators. I am at the Sixth Heaven, which is only one level higher than Zhao Yushu. But I don't know how many years it will take to reach this level. And I am not just a show-off with cultivation. When I was young, I lived on the edge of a knife."

Zhao Yushu saw that Third Master was explaining so eagerly, knowing that he was afraid that he would not cooperate with him, and turned around and went back to Jiangbei. He could only spread his hands helplessly: "Third Master, why are you all sure that Zhao Yushu will come to find me? Zang Niu was killed last night, and I was at the scene. Zhao Yushu didn't need to look for me, he just went in and killed it himself."

The Third Master laughed, "Boss Bai, the location of Xia, not to mention Zhao Yushu, even the locals don't know it. He has only been in the city for one day, how can he find it?"

Zhao Yushu pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "He has been following me!"

"Otherwise, why would Mr. Xia spend three thousand taels to keep you?"

Zhao Yushu narrowed his eyes. There were people from the Third Master at the dinner table last night.

The Third Master leaned back, looking mysterious and profound.

Zhao Yushu pretended to hesitate for a moment: "Since Third Master has spies, he should know the level of those two cultivators yesterday. Neither of them could stop Zhao Yushu. With Third Master alone..."

"Boss Bai, don't worry about this."

"Just based on what Third Master said, I can't rest assured. If Third Master is uncomfortable, you can just arrest me and tie me up here, and wait for Zhao Yushu."

The third master's face froze: "Boss Bai is joking. Come, please ask the second master to come over."

Zhao Yushu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. If Duan Tiezhu didn't have a past relationship with him, he would probably join them to deal with him. In the whole Xiangzhou, he really didn't have a single friend.

The waiting time was very boring, so the Third Master took out some of his exquisite jewelry and gave them to Zhao Yushu, saying that they were gifts. Naturally, Zhao Yushu would not refuse such a cheap gift.

"I am a little curious, why do you, the Cao Gang, want to kill this Sixth Master? I heard that the White Horse Academy in Dongdu is the best in the world."

After accepting the gift, Zhao Yushu began to ask questions.

"Yes, the Academy is the best in the world, but what does it matter if it is the best in the world? The world is in chaos now. In a time of great strife, wolves will devour tigers. Even the throne is being fought for, so why can't the title of the best in the world be fought for?"

Zhao Yushu shook his head: "This empty title is not as real as the throne."

"Hahaha, Boss Bai made it very clear. The academy has been standing for a thousand years. We cultivators are not interested in gold and silver things, but the top secret books on the academy's book tower are endless, and there is no telling how many treasures there are in the storehouse. When he was invincible before, no one dared to make a move. This time everyone saw it. If it weren't for Mr. Liu coming to the capital, the old immortal would have failed in Chang'an City. If he can fail once, someone can make him fail a second time."

Zhao Yushu narrowed his eyes: "This is a gamble."

Damn, they wanted to mess with me, but it took the emperor, who brought the top heavenly treasure and three of the top five in the world, to use all means to barely get a chance to touch me. Are you so arrogant?

"If you want to accomplish great things, there is no such thing as a foolproof plan."

"Third brother is right. This is a big gamble. We have already placed the bet since the Cao Gang issued the reward. Boss Bai, I am a seventh-level expert. Is this chip enough for you to place the bet?"

A Taoist priest with gray hair walked in, holding a whisk in his hand. His Taoist robe was new and the whisk was beautiful, but he was as thin as a skeleton and his eyes were full of uncontrollable madness.

Zhao Yushu nodded: "That's enough, what do you need me to do?"

"Let's drink and enjoy the moon on the river tonight and wait for Zhao Yushu to come."

The Second and Third Masters of Jiangnan jointly hosted Bai Jintang for a banquet, and Jiangbei couldn't possibly not know about it. For a moment, most of the Cao Gang's forces were focused on this ordinary pleasure boat.

As autumn deepens, the night wind rises, stirring the moonlight on the river.
