Chapter 150 The Nine-Fingered Soldier
That spirit had belonged to a practitioner of the Five Tigers and Sheep Knife technique in the small success realm. While digesting and absorbing it, Mo Qian had vaguely glimpsed, as though in a dream, a broad and powerful back with a black mole exactly like that one.Is this a coincidence? Mo Qian thought."That is Escort Master Liu Ao," Xiao Yu said from beside him, noticing the direction of his gaze and offering an introduction. "Escort Master Liu Ao has been running darts for over ten years. Like you, he started out selected from among the chores disciples. He has now reached the small success realm of the third level of inner breath."As she said this, Xiao Yu looked at Mo Qian with clear eyes. There was encouragement beneath her words.The third level of inner breath. Mo Qian felt another piece click into place. It seems the oxtail knife he devoured was one that this man discarded, he thought quietly."He has a nickname in the escort team," Xiao Yu continued. "They call him the
Chapter 149 The Divine Statue
The dart team did not head directly out of the city.As was customary, the team first made its way to the City God Temple to offer prayers for a safe journey and the safe delivery of the goods. This had been the established practice of the Yuanshun Dart Bureau for many years.The City God Temple of Xiangu County was said to have a history of thousands of years and had been renovated several times over the centuries. The age of the temple was nearly as old as the remote county itself.In Xiangu County, there had always been strange and enduring legends passed down through the generations telling of the City God enshrined within these walls.When the escort team arrived at the temple, Ruan Fengshan was already waiting there.As long as Ruan Fengshan was in Xiangu County, he never missed this ritual of paying respects to the City God. If he happened to be away, the team leader Luan Jingfu would preside over the ceremony in his place.Ruan Fengshan understood very well that this kind of o
Chapter 148 Initial Mastery and the First Escort
As for the present trail involving the Corpse Poison faction and the help of the Whale Tiger gang, there was now a lead pointing toward someone else pursuing the cold trail. Jie Dao Han no longer needed to be involved.After all, Jie Dao Han was the local power in Xiangu County. As the saying goes, a snake knows its own tunnels.What Fan Yuanhai needed to do now was investigate from other angles, follow different threads, and see whether he could identify any suspicious figures.Fan Yuanhai looked at the four distinctive portraits in his hand. Each face was so unusual that anyone who had once seen it would not easily forget.He turned the matter over and decided to start from two directions: the four portraits themselves and the medicinal ingredient called Dragon Flame Fat.After all, the urgent dispatch from the sect had been sent for a reason.Maybe you can find suspicious characters from these two lines.Fan Yuanhai turned the thought over in his mind, then left Chunfeng Inn and wa
Chapter 147 Rare Ingredients
Mo Qian let out a breath and said, "Once there is news, send word to me and I will reply to my friend.""It's getting late. Thank you for the meal. I'll head back to the bureau now."Ximen Kankan called Shi Kang over and offered to have him escort Mo Qian back. Mo Qian declined. With a lantern in hand, he made his way back to the Yuanshun Dart Bureau on his own.Ximen Kankan saw him off and then shut the courtyard gate of Xueyan Residence, remaining alone in the hall.He looked hungrily at the painting on the table and murmured, "Shuangshuang, I'm coming for you."With that, Ximen Kankan loosened his waistband. His trousers slipped down to his ankles, and two thick, pale legs came into view.Half an hour later, the door of Xueyan Residence opened again and Ximen Kankan stepped out looking drained. He called for Shi Kang and instructed him to find Qin Zhong."This late at night, the old man could be in any one of a dozen establishments. Where am I supposed to look?" Shi Kang groaned.X
Chapter 146 A Secret Pact
Seeing Mo Qian's expression shift, Ximen Kankan immediately dropped to one knee before him, clasped his fists with great solemnity, and said, "If Master agrees to this wish, Kankan is willing to serve you as an elder brother from this day forward. Whatever you ask of me, I will never refuse."Mo Qian looked at him, his expression turning over several times. Part of him wanted to kick that round face straight into the floor.But Mo Qian quickly steadied himself. Filthy and vulgar as this business was, it also carried weight. If this ever came to light, Xia Zhongyang would not let Ximen Kankan off lightly. If the wealthiest patron in Xiangu County were offended, it would not only be Ximen Kankan who suffered. His father, Ximen Yong, would have to answer for it too.Looked at from that angle, this was in fact a perfect opportunity to hold something over Ximen Kankan and keep him in line."Young Master Ximen, please stand up." Mo Qian rose and helped Ximen Kankan to his feet.Ximen Kankan
Chapter 145 The Green Wine
Mo Qian felt a small stir inside. This kid is hinting at me again. Whatever he is about to ask must not be simple. When someone goes this far out of their way, they always want something in return.The second dish arrived.As it was brought in, Shi Kang took away the first.Mo Qian looked at the half plate of bean sprouts still left and felt a pang of regret. But Shi Kang had already taken it, so there was nothing to be said.Mo Qian turned his attention to the second dish. On the plate sat a duck's head, but the body behind it was shaped like a gourd. Mo Qian looked at it with curiosity. What kind of dish is this?"Brother Mo, this second dish is called Eight Treasure Gourd Duck.""It is another labor of craft. First, the whole duck must be deboned without breaking the skin. The feet and small wings are removed. Eight kinds of filling, including shrimp, mushroom, ham, and glutinous rice, are stuffed into the duck's body, which is then sewn shut and tied into the shape of a gourd, dee
