Chapter 24 In the Cold Pond, Fang
Biede fulfilled his wish and bought a heavy piece of black iron that looked about three or four kilograms, and then took out his banknote and exchanged it with Lei Gong.
Xue Ling saw clearly from the side that among the thousand taels of silver notes, he got about 700 taels from Ning Huaiyuan, including 408 taels of two bottles of elixirs and 80 taels of secret books. , and the two hundred taels of scattered silver notes on Ning Huaiyuan's body.
So the remaining three hundred taels should be the property that Fang Bi came to bring with him, right?
If you think about it this way, can't you be considered too poor?
While Xue Ling was calculating carefully from a woman's perspective, Fang Bue had already completed the transaction, put the piece of iron worth thousands of gold in an ordinary-looking cloth bag, and then slung it around his waist.
Xue Ling has basically confirmed that Fang Bie is almost penniless, but Xue Ling still doesn't know the purpose of the iron block Fang Bie bought.
"So are we leaving now?" Xue Ling asked. The incense in it was too overbearing. It was really difficult for Xue Ling to continue to resist the accumulation of such drugs in her body.
"Right away." Fang Bie smiled and took Xue Ling to a wall of the hall. There was only a small window there, only the size of a fist.
Fang Bie passed the token in his hand, which was also the token that was originally shown to the concierge at the entrance of the Dragon King's Palace, along the window.
Not long after, a secret door opened in the main hall, and Fang Bie pulled Xue Ling in.
Different from the outside, this is a small space like a wing room. There is a long bench, and opposite the bench is a white painted wall.
Xue Ling saw Fang Bie handing out the token from behind the white painted wall, and there was a sound at the same time.
"What do you want to ask?"
The voice was indistinguishable from male to female, neither light nor heavy, impartial, just like the voice of the living dead.
Don't remain silent.
"I want to know about Shaolin monk Kongwu."
"Fifty taels of silver." He replied calmly behind the painted wall.
Fang Bie dug into his pocket, took out a fifty-tael silver note, and handed it over through the crack in the white painted wall.
"Shaolin monk Kongwu has returned from Tianzhu to lecture on Buddhism three months ago. He will arrive in Luocheng in ten days and will go straight back to Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain." "Does
he carry the Buddha's relics with him?" Fang Bie continued to ask. .
"This information is worth one thousand taels of silver." Bai Qiqiang replied.
Fang Bi smiled and nodded. " Then
I have no problem."
... After walking out of the incense-filled mansion, the first thing Fang Bie did was to take Xue Ling to a wild pool. "You take a bath here, and I'll go to the other side." Fang Bie said quietly. It is now approaching the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and the weather is gradually turning hot. However, ordinary martial arts practitioners will not catch the wind and cold even if they bathe outdoors in the coldest month of winter. Fang Bie had already taken off his mask, revealing his cold and delicate face. At the same time, he handed over a cyan package: "After washing, put on these clothes." "Every time you go to the Dragon King's Palace, you have to take a bath and change clothes. "?" Xue Ling asked, "Then you won't take me there before I go to the Changqing Bathhouse?" The girl was a little dissatisfied. And Fang Bi smiled: "Of course, every time, if you are not afraid of being tracked. Although I have not been tracked once, it never hurts to be careful." "Also, I plan to call you before you go . Yes, isn't it a step too late?" Xue Ling took the green cloth package and at the same time turned around and walked towards the opposite side of the pool. Yes, he didn't seem to be interested in spying on Xue Ling at all. The girl let out a long breath. She stood by the Bitan water, looking at the crystal clear stream in it, thinking that maybe this was not something Fang Bie had found on the fly. Maybe this was originally one of the outdoor campsites Fang Bie had prepared. After all, when you are outside and there is no way to dig a well to get water, it is not easy to find a safe and clean water source. She opened the green cloth package and checked the clothes prepared by Fang Bie. They were very ordinary women's clothes. They seemed to be newly bought and there were no traces of being worn by others. Of course, the price of such ordinary clothes was not high. Expensive, given the news that Fang Bie spent a lot of money today to buy a piece of iron and used fifty taels to buy that thing of unknown use, I am afraid that the total of this woman's clothes is less than five yuan. Thinking of this, Xue Ling sighed again . Take a breath. With all her plans in mind, she has been partnering with Fang Bie for nearly two months now. Until now, she has never seen through what kind of person Fang Bian is. He is cautious, careful, and does everything to the point of being almost pathological. This made Xue Ling wonder whether he had guessed that she was not the real Lin Xue when she went to find him. So much so that he said that your perfection is your biggest flaw, but in the end, he accepted her for some reason. Of course, Xue Ling has always completed the work of Bee Wings with the best attitude. These days, she has supplemented a lot of information inside the Beehive, as well as the geographical situation around Luo City and the distribution of various sects. Only by thoroughly understanding Only when you are around yourself can you lift a heavy weight with ease. But even so, Fang Bie still acted like he didn't need himself at all. He can handle everything well by himself, and even has the opportunity to help make up for his mistakes. If there is a bee stinger in this world who can complete the task without any bee wings, then Xue Ling will not do it. I doubt that person is Fang Bie. As for why Fang Bie needed her - Xue Ling thought about it carefully, it was probably because she could help Fang Bie hide her from others. For example, until now, Xue Ling didn't know how strong Fang Bie was. Even if she really witnessed an assassination attempt by Fang Bie, she couldn't understand why Fang Bie was really strong. He killed Ning Huaiyuan, a senior third-level master, and even said that he did not use his real martial arts. He could easily manipulate the opponent by just relying on the layout of the scene. In fact, there were times when Xue Ling couldn't restrain her desire to go to Fang Bu and ask him what his current strength was, but in the end, she was forcibly extinguished by herself. She had already soaked in the somewhat cold stream water, and Fang Bie even prepared soap locust that could be used to clean her hair, because the only thing that was most likely to be stained by the scent of incense was her hair, apart from her entire body of clothing. At this moment, Xue Ling suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance. "Help!" "Killed!" She suddenly became alarmed. Just as she was about to get up, the cold wind blew, and she realized that she was completely naked. She could only bite her lip and retract her body into the cold stream. (End of chapter)
