Chapter 21: A Poison Plan

After Luo Jiayu told the location, the two sides made an appointment to meet, waiting for Chen Rufeng to send people down the mountain to Luoyang, and Luo Jiayu generously put the three ingots on the table first, which was a deposit.

At this time, a group of elder guardians had gathered here in the inner hall of the Tianfeng Gang. Hu Jiuwei still looked frivolous and arrogant, stand on tiptoe and make an impatient look. Guo Tongwu and Fu Yuanjing also sat aside. Chen Rufeng treated them as guests. In this discussion, he arranged them here in a different way. Guo Tongwu and Fu Yuanjing's eyes kept fiercely against Hu Jiuwei, as if there was an invisible sword cutting between the two sides. Jiang Shengtian looked at them. I don't worry, but I know that the contradictions between the two sides are deep, and it is not a matter to solve overnight.

"Master, could you please explain first that you want to call these two idle people here? Obviously, it is an internal discussion of our Tianfeng Gang. Hu Jiu did not hide the hostility in his eyes, which made Guo Tongwu and Fu Yuanjing pat the chair handle fiercely and almost rushed to beat him. Jiang Shengtian quickly pressed their hands and signaled them not to be impulsive.

"There is nothing that can be said to people. We are not discussing any secrets, let alone a great evil matter. Are you afraid that others are listening?" Chen Rufeng said lightly and did not intend to continue to argue with him in this regard. He continued: "I called everyone today because a customer from Luoyang just asked us to escort his family treasure - Hanxiang Jasper to Chang'an, with a reward of 500 gold."

Hearing 500 gold, all the people present changed their faces. Even Hu Jiuwei's eyes were wide open and suddenly shining, and Guo Tongwu and Fu Yuanjing were so scared that they bounced up from their chairs. These 500 taels of gold have never been seen in their lives!

Chen Rufeng coughed a few times, pulled all kinds of emotions back to calm, and said, "I want to do this escort task in person and choose a few capable people to go to Luoyang with me. I don't know who wants to?"

Hu Jiuwei's heart did not move, and there seemed to be a ferocious face in a dark corner of his heart, with a creepy smile, and a vicious idea emerged from his mind.

"Master, I want to take on this task alone." Hu Jiu did not take a step ahead and arched his hand. Chen Rufeng was stunned for a moment. Hu Jiu had never been so polite. Now looking at his solemn face, this is really like an elder's attitude towards the master, not as arrogant and empty-minded as before.

Seeing Hu Jiuwei's respectful look, Chen Rufeng broadened his heart and said after thinking, " Elder Hu, I naturally know that you are a great person, but this matter is of great importance. In order to be safe, two masters must go on the road together. Well, I see that Chai Yuanlang and Liu Hong have a task and can't breach the contract. Let me take on this task with you.

The muscles on Hu Jiuwei's face were slightly **, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He said silently for a moment, "In this case, I will share this task with you."

Chen Rufeng slapped a few times, shouted a few good sounds, and then let Hu Jiuwei and others disperse, leaving Guo Tongwu and Fu Yuanjing in the inner hall.

"Brother, do you have anything to say to us?" Guo Tongwu noticed a trace of sadness on Chen Rufeng's forehead, and he was already aware of it.

Chen Rufeng was embarrassed to say it, because the resettlement problem of Tiger Village ignited the bad mood of the gang in the Tianfeng Gang. Guo Tongwu also felt that those hateful eyes made him uncomfortable early this morning.

"Third brother..." Mr. Chen Rufeng feels that it is always a little awkward to call a person many years older than himself as a "brother". "After we receive the remuneration, we will build a gang, and then there will be a place for you to live. However, during this period of time, you also know that our Tianfeng Gang is narrow... So, you have to stay in Chang'an's inn first. I am in charge of all the accounts.

After listening to Chen Rufeng's words, Guo Tongwu and Fu Yuanjing were grateful to tears and almost hugged Chen Rufeng's thighs and shouted father. Fu Yuanjing grabbed Chen Rufeng's arm and said excitedly, "Big brother's great kindness... Our fierce tiger village is unforgettable, er..."

In the face of such a fierce reaction between the two, Chen Rufeng didn't expect it. For a moment, he could only pat them on the shoulder like comforting two people who were hungry for seven or 49 days and finally got food. Jiang Shengtian could only breathe out helplessly.

Chen Rufeng's words resounded in his heart. Perhaps the choice he made now is to realize his suggestion step by step.

Is this a good or a bad thing? Chen Rufeng has no bottom.

Hu Jiuwei has swept away the haze on his face, replaced by a deep and unpredictable smile, as if thinking about something, and a black storm is brewing on his forehead.

"Dahu, do you have any ideas?" Liu Hong and Chai Yuanlang just walked into the room and sneaked out their heads to look around before closing the door.

Hu Jiuwei snapped his fingers and smiled, "There is a way. Now let me see how those two kids step down. Hey hey!"

Hearing Hu Jiuwei's cold laughter, the two couldn't help shivering.

Hu Jiuwei continued: "Let's start with this task. As long as we... hey... If the cold and fragrant jasper is accidentally 'lost', they can't afford to pay for their lives, let alone sit firmly in this position of the master."

"Do you want to hide the cold jasper and say that you lost it?" Chai Yuanlang was shocked, but was slapped on his head by Hu Jiuwei.

"You idiot, who would believe such nonsense?" Hu Jiuwei immediately showed a cunning smile, "I had a little friendship with a mountain thief on Funiu Mountain, and this time I can bother them to take action. I believe that they will not be interested in a valuable treasure.

Liu Hong and Chai Yuanlang were shocked when they heard it. Hu Jiuwei's intention was clear that they wanted to collude with mountain thieves to rob their escorted items. Such bold things were not what they dared to do. Chai Yuanlang said timidly, "Well... once the incident happens in the east window, I'm afraid it will be implicated..."

Hu Jiuwei smiled deeper and said in a low voice, "You don't know anything about this. Those mountain thieves' * are very hard, and even the government can't do anything about them. What's more, the merchant will only hold Chen Rufeng accountable, and in the end, all the spearheads will be directed at him. And let's sit and see how they lose face from the underground stage! Hahaha!"

Hu Jiuwei couldn't help laughing and seemed to have seen Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian running out of the Tianfeng Gang, throwing all kinds of radishes and vegetables, rice pots and bowls and chopsticks behind them together, and then laughing proudly with Tianfeng help.

After one night, no one noticed that Chang* Jiu had quietly gone down the mountain last night, let alone where he was going. The next day, he hurried back and prepared to go to Luoyang with his master.

However, strangely, Chen Rufeng inexplicably began to have diarrhea after breakfast, and hid in the toilet for half a day. Of course, he didn't know that Hu Jiuwei had added ingredients to his porridge, and he couldn't recover for a day.

"Master, are you all right?" Hu Jiuwei asked in a joking tone. There were two hands on the door of the toilet. Chen Rufeng pulled his head and looked like a bitter gourd.

"It should... be eating the wrong thing... Alas, this belly..." Before he finished speaking, Chen Rufeng shrank back again. Hu Jiu didn't seem to hear the sound of a waterfall falling down.

"Lord, if you really can't do it, let me go by myself. The journey from Luoyang to Chang'an is not too dangerous, and I'm competent enough." Hu Jiuwei covered his nose and said.

At this moment, Chen Rufeng was helpless and had no choice but to say, "Well, you take a few more brothers down the mountain, just in case. Ah..."

With an ecstasy cry, Hu Jiuwei sneered secretly and went out. After organizing good people, he hurried down the mountain.

Luoyang City is as prosperous as Chang'an. It is full of shops, brand-new buildings, a sea of people, and wide streets crisscross, making it very easy for people to lose their way in the noise.

Hu Jiuwei also finally found the agreed place. Luo Jiayu had already waited here. He waved his hand and gave way out the big box behind him.

"According to the agreement, we have to verify the integrity of the goods first." Hu Jiuwei said, Luo Jiayu nodded and lifted the lid of the large box. A blue light reflected into Hu Jiuwei's eyes, accompanied by cold air, just like a thousand-year-old ice, and the whole surface was covered with cold.

Such a big box can't imagine that it only contains a jasper of the size of two palms. This jasper is white with green, and the whole body exudes a clean light. Almost no flaw can be found. An experienced jade merchant knew that it was a first-class treasure at a glance. However, the most wonderful thing is not here, but it has a fragrance like an orchid-like smell, constantly hitting everyone's nostrils. The fragrance goes straight through the whole body, as if people are in a sea of flowers, and there is a strong fragrance of flowers everywhere, and the heart is fascinated.

Hu Jiuwei didn't come to his senses until Luo Jiayu closed the box.

"Well, this family heirloom, please the hero." Luo Jiayu held his fist, and Hu Jiu did not reply quickly: "Don't worry, I will definitely send it safely to Chang'an!"

Lock Jiayu did not notice that Hu Jiuwei was not confident when he said this. He thought that he had just not recovered from the amazing treasure just now, and smiled and nodded. Hu Jiuwei hurriedly asked a few Tianfeng helpers behind him to set up a pole, tied the big box to the bamboo pole, and the group left Luoyang City.

"But it's really a strange treasure. No wonder they want to be escorted by us at such a high price." Hu Jiuwei couldn't help admiring in his heart that that treasure is indeed a shocking treasure. Although it is of little significance to people who practice martial arts, it must be valuable in terms of appreciation.

Unconsciously, the group led by Hu Jiuwei was 20 miles away from Luoyang City and came to a towering and winding forest road.

The leaves of this forest road are relatively dense, and only a trace of sunlight falls to the ground softly through the cracks of the leaves like needle and thread. The trunk around is also quite strong, and even if someone hides behind the tree, it may not be easy to be found.

When Hu Jiuwei and his party walked here, there were already many people with big knives and iron bars waiting quietly like a moth against the tree trunk.
