Chapter 218 Cang Ling's Sword Discussion (Thirty-Three)

()    After listening to Murong Ying's lecture for half a day, Ji Bu naturally learned a lot about Wanxialou.

Sects like Wanxialou and Bafanglou, which have risen rapidly in decades by relying on a set of unique skills, have surpassed the three sects of Shaolin, Renwu, and Xiaoyao in strength, but they lack foundation after all, giving people a feeling of nouveau riche. The disciples in the sect are also mixed. Although there are chivalrous disciples, there are also rats like Wang Ao.

The attitude of other martial arts disciples towards them can be seen from Lushan's words and deeds... It can't be said to be respectful, but there is still respect, after all, they are not evil, and their strength is indeed strong.

Then, will the second in command of Wanxialou do something like poisoning?

Of course not... With Gongsun Li's scheming, if he really wants to poison, he will not choose this time and place, and he will not let a waiter become a part of it.

Bai Yao Wanxialou had just made a feud with Pojian Tea House, and the whole thing happened in public. If Gongsun Li immediately poisoned and killed them at night, the revenge would be too immediate. Other martial artists would suspect the identity of Wanxialou.

So... Gongsun Li and Shi Yanran didn't dare to kill them even if they wanted to. They still had to pray to the sky that nothing would happen to the people in Pojian Tea House. If any of these five people disappeared or died mysteriously, they might have to take the blame.

So far, it can be seen that Feng Bujue's previous strategy was a good move. If he told the truth about Wang Ao's death in the lobby of the passenger station in the morning, he would accuse Shi Yanran of killing and Gongsun Li of helping to frame him. The result is that they probably didn't believe him... Jianghu is a very realistic place. An unknown person from an unknown sect should not debate with the master and second-in-command of Wanxialou without hard evidence. If they come with words, they can just make up their own arguments. If they come with force, it will just suit their wishes.

So, Feng Bujue simply fabricated facts, turned the tables, and took advantage of the other party's guilty conscience, so that they not only dared not refute, but also had to prove their own statements.

And the subsequent effect of this move is... Shi Yanran and Gongsun Li not only dared not to attack the people in his Pojian Tea House, but were controlled by them, fearing that these people would reveal the secret.

As the saying goes, this time is different, and now the situation is different. If Feng Bujue tells others the truth about Wang Ao's death now, it may not be a situation where no one believes it.

Therefore, the wine and food sent by Gongsun Li really have no other meaning except to please and test.

There was nothing that could be done about the ordinary side dishes. After all, it was impossible for a place like Cangling Inn to import a large amount of delicacies from outside the town every day. It was already good enough that there was a continuous supply of food and meat here.

However, the inn still had good wine. Because as long as there was a wine cellar, it would not take a month or so, even if the goods were put aside for ten or eight years.

The innkeeper obviously knew that the people who would move in after the opening would definitely be from the underworld, and these guys... just liked this. They could eat worse, but they couldn't be short of wine. So in terms of wine, the inn had a complete stock of good and bad, expensive and cheap.

Gongsun Li spent a lot of money this time to buy this small bottle of "Waiting for Enqiu" and gave it to Feng Bujue.

Just by listening to the name, you know that this is not an ordinary good wine, but a top-grade wine, and it is very expensive. It is really tenderer than cold syrup, and fragrant like sweet dew in spring.

What does "Waiting for Enqiu" mean? It means that after drinking a cup, all the hatreds between people can be resolved. This is comparable to the legendary brainwashing alcoholic beverage "drunkenness and dreaming". If Tang Sanzang knew about it, he would definitely regret it. What's the point of traveling thousands of miles to learn Mahayana Buddhism? Why not just learn to make wine?

Okay, this is a joke. No matter how good the wine is, it will definitely not resolve deep hatreds. At most, it can resolve some grievances like "you borrowed a few taels of silver from me a few years ago and didn't return it" and "you stepped on my foot this morning."

Anyway, I personally think that for this level of grievances, giving the silver spent on buying wine to the other party can also resolve it... Let's get back to the point. Master Jibu looked at the wine and food in front of him and determined that it was toxic, so he would not eat it at all.

As a player, he doesn't need to eat or drink, and the wine and food are not beauties. There is no reason for him to lose control, so he just put the things there and didn't move them.

"Eating shit on the spot" or something like that was obviously impossible, because if he didn't eat a single bite, he couldn't prove whether the food and wine on the table were poisonous or not... Time passed slowly. It was about an hour after the waiter brought the food and wine, and the sky outside was completely dark. At this time, the knock on the door sounded again.

"Who is it?" Master Jibu stood up again and asked as he walked towards the door.

The person outside the door was silent for two seconds after hearing the words, and then replied: "I am Gongsun Li."

"Shi Yanran." After Gongsun Li finished speaking, another woman's voice came, but Shi Yanran's tone sounded a little unfriendly.

The short silence just now was because the two people exchanged glances outside the door after hearing Master Jibu's answer to the door.

Jibu didn't open the door immediately, but asked: "It's dark now, I wonder why you two came...?"

Gongsun Li replied: "Uh... this young man, can you let us in first and talk?"

Tetsube thought about it and realized that he might not be able to stop the other party from forcing their way in, so he had to act according to the situation. He opened the door, glanced at the two people, tried to look calm, stepped aside and said, "Please, both of you."

As soon as they stepped into the room, Gongsun Li and Shi Yanran's faces changed several times. First, they saw the wine and food on the table and didn't touch a chopstick; second, after looking around the room, they realized that there was only one person in the room at the moment.

The news in the inn spread quickly. Gongsun Li and Shi Yanran, who were interested, naturally heard about the other people in the Broken Sword Tea House leaving the inn at Bai Yao, but they didn't expect that until the evening, the other four people had not returned, leaving only the boy in front of them.

"I haven't asked this young man yet...what's your name." Gongsun Li quickly put on a kind face and clasped his fists and bowed.

"Jin Fugui." Jibe replied unhappily. Since he had already reported this name in the script, he could only use it to the end.

The two people on the opposite side did not react much after hearing this.

Gongsun Li then said: "Haha...it turned out to be Young Master Jin." He glanced around the room again, as if he was worried that someone was hiding somewhere, "I don't know, Master Feng and the other three..."

"They went out to do something." Jibe replied directly.

"Oh, that's it..." Gongsun Li seemed to be thinking about it, his face slightly gloomy: "By the way, Young Master Jin, about what happened last night..."

"I...I will follow the arrangements of the master of the dormitory." Jibe interrupted him again and said: "Whatever he said this morning, that's it. I don't know anything else." He used this to respond, which was also very clever. The implication was...you two don't have to kill me to silence me, I have no intention of leaking any secrets.

But Gongsun Li was suspicious by nature, and Shi Yanran's motive for entering was a conspiracy, so how could the two of them let it go so easily?

Shi Yanran interrupted at this time and said, "Young Master Jin, why didn't you touch the wine and food we sent to you by the waiter? Could it be... are you afraid that we would poison them?"

Jibu was really stumped by the question, he was afraid of this, but at this moment, he had an idea, put on a noble attitude, and replied coldly: "This side dish is really not pleasing to my eyes." He glanced at the wine bottle on the table: "Wine... is indeed good wine. But... since the two of you have said that this wine is a gift to the owner of the dormitory, how dare I drink it before he returns."

Shi Yanran heard this and looked at Gongsun Li, who nodded slightly, indicating that this was credible.

In Gongsun Li's view, the answer of the boy surnamed Jin was reasonable. He looks like a young man with delicate skin and tender flesh. Although he is wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, he can't pretend to have temperament. He can say that this is good wine without drinking it, and his name is "Fugui", so it is very likely that this guy is the son of a wealthy merchant. But I don't know why a person like him would join a sect like Pojian Tea House.

And Shi Yanran's thoughts are not as many as Gongsun Li, and she will not speculate deeply about the other party's background. It's just that the intuition of a woman tells her that Jibu's words "unbearable to the eyes" are absolutely sincere. Not to mention that he is unbearable, Shi Yanran also dislikes the small dishes on the table.

As for the second half of Jibu's words... "I dare not touch the things given to the owner of the dormitory before he comes back", although it is a lie, it is very convincing.

The impression Feng Bujue left on us can be described by a line that often appears in "Detective Di Renjie" - "This is a terrible person."

Almost all the villains that have appeared in the play have used this line to describe the abilities of Di Renjie or Li Yuanfang. Of course, the positive characters will occasionally use this line to describe the other party's BOSS-level person.

I personally think that the word "terrible" in the play can basically be equated with three things: first, extremely high intelligence, second, extremely high martial arts, and third, madness. Anyway, if you have one of them, you will probably be described like this. If you have all three, how can you describe it? I think you can use this line instead: "I am so strong that even I am afraid of myself."

"Hahaha..." Gongsun Li laughed out loud, as fake as it could be: "Forgive Gongsun Li for not considering it carefully. When I asked the waiter to pass on the message, I only knew the name of the owner of Fengliao, so I didn't say it in detail." As he said, he came to the table: "This wine is just a token of my appreciation. Everyone in your sect is a hero. How can you only give me one bottle? If you like it, Young Master Jin, I will ask the waiter to send another jar over." He picked up the small bottle and began to pour wine into three cups: "Come on, Young Master Jin. Children of the rivers and lakes, a glass of wine will forget all grudges. I will toast you a glass."
