77　　Xiantao Town, Plum Tea Shop!

　　A very small tea shop. The people of Mianshui love to drink tea, so there are always tea shops in both the countryside and the city.

　　Huamei Tea House is a small tea shop in Xiantao Town.

　　It is divided into two parts: the front hall and the private rooms. The front hall usually sells large bowls of tea, which are provided to porters and small vendors.

　　The private rooms are for the important people in the town to drink tea.

　　At this time, in the private room of the Huamei Tea Shop, captain Zhao Xun was sitting there with a lot on his mind.

　　In front of me is a plate of plums and a cup of the best Biluochun tea.

　　One of his hobbies is to taste plums, drink Biluochun tea, listen to the noisy sounds outside, and enjoy his happy life.

　　But today, the plums did not arouse his appetite.

　　Even the fragrant Biluochun couldn't lure out the tea worm in his stomach.

　　Why?

　　Confused!

　　Tap tap tap…

　　Just when Zhao Xun, the captain of the ship, was distracted, footsteps were heard and a man walked in slowly.

　　I sat opposite him and asked the waiter to bring a pot of Tieguanyin.

　　He poured himself a cup of tea. The person opposite him was not in a hurry. He sipped the tea and looked at Zhao Xun on the bow of the ship.

　　Zhao Xun didn't say anything either.

　　The two of them remained silent. When the man drank the second cup of tea, Zhao Xun spoke.

　　"Don't you want to know why I asked you to come?"

　　"Haha, I thought you would only speak after I finished this pot of tea. You asked me out for yourself, but could it be for me?"

　　"So I'm not in a hurry. If you are, just say, 'No hurry, let's have another drink first.'"

　　The man took another sip of tea and said, "I drink this and that, but it has to be Tieguanyin. Do you know why?"

　　Zhao Xun did not answer.

　　The man laughed and said, "Because this Tieguanyin is also called Oolong, Oolong has a better taste."

　　"What bullshit are you talking about."

　　Zhao Xun responded to the man without any politeness after hearing his words, and then said: "Yu Biao, you are really able to keep your composure. The battle of Baozheng is coming soon. You haven't broken through yet. Can you beat Wu Zhong?"

　　Yu Biao heard this and said, "I am only one opportunity away from the Flesh Training Realm, and I have made two preparations. Before the battle of Baozheng, I will definitely be able to break through the Flesh Training Realm."

　　"Besides, even if I can't do it, don't you still have help me?"

　　Yu Biao said to Zhao Xun with a smile.

　　Zhao Xun said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. I only promised you to get rid of Wu Zhong, but I didn't say I would betray the Fishermen's Gang. I won't do anything to let the Fishermen's Gang down."

　　"Haha, yes, it's enough to get rid of Wu Zhong!"

　　Yu Biao nodded, then looked at Zhao Xun and said, "Tell me, what do you want to tell me? If it's not important, you won't take the risk to meet me in private!"

　　Zhao Xun was silent for a long time, then said, "Now there is a chance to kill Wu Zhong!"

　　"oh?"

　　Yu Biao put down the teacup and immediately became interested. Killing Wu Zhong, is this a good thing?

　　"Tell me more about it."

　　Zhao Xun fell silent and stopped talking, looking very conflicted.

　　He knew that if he told this matter, he would be guilty of conspiracy to murder his superior. If the gang members knew about it, he would be punished according to the rules of the underworld.

　　But, is there any way back for him?

　　His ambition is already difficult to control, he wants so badly to be the manager of the fish pen, he wants so badly to make progress, is there anything wrong with wanting to make progress?

　　Yu Biao was not in a hurry. He picked up a pickled plum on the table and put it into his mouth, savouring its taste.

　　The fact that Zhao Xun came to find him showed that he had already made a decision in his heart, and the reason why he couldn't make a choice at this time was because he couldn't make a choice at that time.

　　In fact, it is just a kind of pretentiousness.

　　Sure enough, Zhao Xun spoke again.

　　"Wu Zhong went up Dahei Mountain at noon today..."

　　"Oh, you mean, last time we followed the hall masters into the gray fog, he discovered the hundred-year-old blood ganoderma?"

　　"Um."

　　"Wu Hong is injured and is in urgent need of nourishment. Blood Ganoderma is the best tonic?"

　　"right."

　　Yu Biao's mouth curled up when he heard this: "It's so easy to get into the gray fog. Wu Zhong has lost his mind, or he loves his son too much!"

　　Zhao Xun said nothing, and at this time Yu Biao said: "Well, this is a good opportunity, but can Wu Zhong really come back from the gray fog?"

　　After hearing this, Zhao Xun asked, "What if he comes back alive?"

　　"That's true."

　　Yu Biao nodded and said, "How about this? Tonight, we go outside the gray fog of Black Mountain and wait. If we find Wu Zhong, we kill him on the spot?"

　　Zhao Xun said: "Then throw him into the gray fog and treat him as if he died in the gray fog. There will be no evidence to prove his death."

　　Yu Biao smiled: "Zhao Xun, I have to say, you are the one who is cruel. Wu Zhong has been very good to you, how could you have the heart to do that to him?"

　　Zhao Xun said with a dark face: "Anyone who stands in my way must die!"

　　Yu Biao grinned even more happily: "Very good, I like it. Kill Wu Zhong, you can be the manager of your fish pen, and I can get a Xiantao Town Baozheng for free, hehe... OK."

　　Zhao Xun said at this time: "I can give you the position of Xiantao Town Baozheng, but if Wu Zhong really brings out the blood ganoderma, he must give it to me!"

　　Yu Biao heard this and said, "That won't do. The value of the blood ganoderma is higher than the position of Baozheng. I can't give it all to you. We'll each take half."

　　"Half for each?"

　　Zhao Xun frowned, looking reluctant, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, half for each of us."

　　After saying that, Zhao Xun stood up and said, "See you in the back hills at the end of the afternoon."

　　Yu Biao smiled and said, "See you in the back hills!"

　　The two smiled at each other, and Zhao Xun left the teahouse.

　　At this time, another person walked in from outside the door, it was Yu Sanliu.

　　"Dad, are you really going to give him half of that blood ganoderma?"

　　Yu Biao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I give it to you or not, it doesn't matter if I don't give it to you. It doesn't matter."

　　"Dad, isn't this important?"

　　Yu Sanliu was puzzled, but Yu Biao drank his tea and said, "From today on, Zhao will become a dog of our Yu family. If I tell him to go east, he won't dare to go west. From now on, Xiantao Town will be named Yu!"

　　"Well, Dad, what do you mean?"

　　Yu Sanliu understood instantly and started laughing too.

　　"Yeah, it doesn't matter. If today's matter goes through, Zhao will be a dog of the Yu family!"

　　In this round, it looked like Zhao Xun and Yu Biao teamed up to kill Wu Zhong.

　　But what happens afterwards?

　　Even if the fact that Yu Biao killed Wu Zhong was known, the Cao Gang would come forward to protect him. It was not uncommon for the two gangs to fight privately and result in deaths. Although the Yu Gang would definitely retaliate, there was a 50% chance that Yu Biao would not die.

　　But what about Zhao Xun?

　　He was a member of the Fishing Gang and joined forces with Yu Biao to kill Wu Zhong.

　　What is this called.

　　This is called joining forces with outsiders to murder your superiors, and the crime is called being a traitor and treasonous!

　　This is a serious violation of the fishing gang's rules. He will definitely die. There is absolutely no possibility of survival!

　　Therefore, Zhao Xun was more worried about being exposed than Yu Biao in this matter.

　　The Yu family's father and son have got hold of this handle, and they can rely on it to make a living off Zhao Xun for the rest of his life!

　　Couldn't Zhao Xun think of this?

　　He might have thought of it, but his unbridled ambition made him crazy and desperate!

　　…

　　Chen Jie comforted the three people from the Bai family and went home with a bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

　　Before leaving, Doctor Bai repeatedly emphasized that Chen Jie could only wait outside the gray fog and was absolutely not allowed to enter the black fog. Moreover, if it was after midnight, Chen Jie would not have to wait any longer because Wu Zhong would definitely not be able to come back.

　　Chen Jie asked why.

　　Doctor Bai didn't tell us the reason, he just said to remember and not to get confused because of curiosity.

　　Chen Jie was very sure about this. He was afraid of this world. The existence of martial arts itself was magical, and those messy, weird and supernatural things might also exist.

　　Therefore, although he was very interested in the gray fog and wanted to know what was inside, he didn't want to get involved with it at all.

　　This thing always feels evil, so it's better to stay away from it.

　　Chen Jie accepted all of Bai Langzhong's advice.

　　Never enter the gray fog on your own initiative.

　　Wu Hong also said, "Jiu Si, thank you for your hard work this time. I should have gone there, but I am in such a bad condition."

　　After saying that, he sighed.

　　Bai also said, "Jiu Si, I won't say more. Be careful. Otherwise, if you fail to rescue Ah Zhong, you will be implicated."

　　Chen Jie heard this and said, "Master, Brother Hong, Auntie, don't worry, I know what's going on, but I also have something to ask of you."

　　"Ninety-four, you say."
