Chapter 149 Intelligence
"First of all, I want to know where Qiu Chan, the disciple of Master Baihe of Ziqi Xianfeng Temple, has been in the past five days."

"I also want to know the recent whereabouts of Wu Changfeng, the son of Wu Yue, the top martial arts master in Shu."

"Also, I want to..."

As Fu Qingzhou spoke rapidly, lines of words were written on the paper of Boss Wang over there.

Seeing this, Hua Wuying couldn't help but interrupt: "Brother Fu, can you afford this money?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Doesn't the Xingyun Chamber of Commerce accept everything? If I don't have enough money, I can use other things to make up for it."

Boss Wang also interrupted and said, "That's right. As the only successor of Wuwei Temple, how could he not be able to pay?"

Fu Qingzhou was shocked when he heard this: "Wait, you know my identity?"

"Oh, what you said, Keqing."

Boss Wang smiled obscenely and said, "Not everyone can be a guest of the White Party of our Xingyun Chamber of Commerce. Looking around the world, there are only more than a hundred but less than two hundred. We must remember the name and identity of each one."

"Although I have never seen your appearance, you are not any guest official I have known before, so you must have just joined recently. In the past year, the only one who fits your age and appearance is Young Master Fu."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and shook his head.

This Nebula Chamber of Commerce is quite powerful... I didn't expect it even has an information database?
"Okay, have you written down all my needs?"

He asked, "Can we contact Luoyi for a quote?"

"okay!"

Boss Wang folded the paper neatly and said with a smile, "Young Alliance Leader, Young Master Fu, you two can go back to the inn and wait. Once the stuff arrives tomorrow, we will deliver it to your door. We will pay for it and deliver the stuff to you."

Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "No, I'll wait here."

Boss Wang smiled and said, "Okay, you two can wait here. I will pass on the message."

After saying that, he trotted all the way to the backyard of the pharmacy.

Hua Wuying let out a long sigh and asked, "Brother Fu, from what you just asked, do you suspect that the other party has not captured Miss Qiu?"

"Yes."

Fu Qingzhou nodded.

Needless to say, the sender must be from Fanyin Temple.

But this is not the point. The point is... this is a guy who can sneak into the Wulin Alliance’s territory and slip the letter into the arms of the Wulin Alliance’s disciples.

If you can stuff something silently, you can steal something silently.

No matter what, he must first confirm whether Qiu Chan was really captured, so that he will have peace of mind when facing the enemy.

And since I'm here, I naturally have to ask about Wu Changfeng's information.

As for the other stuff…

It's just a matter of being more prepared.

Time passed minute by minute, the oil lamp on the counter gradually burned out, and the sound of rain outside the window gradually died down.

Boss Wang never came back, and no one knew whether he had ridden his horse to Luoyi himself.

It was not until dawn that footsteps were heard again in the backyard.

Then the curtain was opened, and it was not only Boss Wang who came out, but also a middle-aged man who was in a hurry. This man was carrying a package. When he saw Hua Wuying, he stuffed the package into Boss Wang's hand, laughed and clasped his fists: "Young Alliance Leader!"

Hua Wuying stood up and clasped his fists in return: "It's Shopkeeper Chen, why did you come here in person?"

The one called Shopkeeper Chen looked at Fu Qingzhou and said with a smile: "Young Master Fu's business is not small, I have to come here at least once."

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows, and then he saw Hua Wuying introducing him, "My dear brother, this shopkeeper Chen Dahe is the person in charge of the Luoyi Xingyun Chamber of Commerce base."

"It's easy to talk about."

Chen Dahe sat down next to the two of them and said with a smile, "Let's talk about the intelligence first. We have all the intelligence that Young Master Fu wants, but I have a suggestion."

Fu Qingzhou blinked: "Oh? Shopkeeper Chen, please go ahead."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that our intelligence was actually bought from Qianfang Baixiao Building."

Chen Dahe said calmly, "There are very powerful intelligence analysts in their building. They have already deduced some things based on what you are doing and the intelligence you need. I personally recommend that you purchase the results of the analysis directly."

Fu Qingzhou was stunned and looked at Hua Wuying.

Hua Wuying understood and said with a smile: "Manager Chen, Qianfang Baixiaolou will not take the initiative to do this. I'm afraid it's not your request, right?"

"Hahahaha!"

Chen Dahe laughed like thunder: "When doing business, of course you have to think about what the customers want!" Fu Qingzhou understood now, it turns out that he wanted to make more money... It's like you go to the computer city to buy an ordinary graphics card for your junior high school brother, but when you come out, you already have five family-sized computers for the whole family...

He remained calm and smiled: "No hurry, Manager Chen, tell me first, what is the price for the information I need?"

"Six hundred taels of silver!"

Chen Dahe smiled and said, "These six hundred taels are all used to buy the whereabouts of Qiu Chan, a disciple of Ziqi Xianfeng Temple. As for the whereabouts of Wu Changfeng, it is not difficult to find out, so I will give it to you as a gift."

Fu Qingzhou smacked his lips when he heard this. It was indeed ridiculously expensive!

I just want to know the whereabouts of a girl, and you want six hundred taels of silver!

No wonder your business is so big!
But since the opening has been made, we cannot retreat...

But before he could speak, Chen Dahe had already noticed the slight change in his expression and said with a smile: "But if Mr. Fu directly buys the inferred results, we will charge you one thousand taels."

After that, he squinted his eyes and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that if you want to figure out the result by yourself, the information you need will cost much more than this price!"

"Oh, right, including the other things you need, the total is 1,500 taels. With an 80% discount, it's 1,200 taels. How about that?"

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Just six hundred taels, tell me the whereabouts of Qiu Chan and Wu Changfeng."

After saying that, he rummaged in his arms, took out a book and put it on the table beside him.

This is the secret book of "Wind-deceiving Shadow Arrow". He only carried it with him to practice it from time to time, but in fact he had already memorized the contents of the book a long time ago.

Chen Dahe's expression did not change. He took the book with a smile, flipped through the beginning, and nodded slightly.

"More than a hundred years ago, the archery technique was created by the previous two patriarchs of the Mobei Hong family. The Chamber of Commerce rated it as Grade A, Class A. All the copies left before were incomplete. This is the complete copy, worth eight hundred taels."

He raised his head and smiled, "Young man, this secret book is only enough for the information you need."

Fu Qingzhou yawned, "The other stuff is worth five hundred taels, right? Plus the six hundred taels of information, the total is one thousand eleven, with a 20% discount, more than eight hundred but less than nine hundred, Manager Chen, can you give me a zero?"

"This……"

Chen Dahe smiled and said, "Young Master Fu, we have already given you a discount."

"Hey, hey, let's not worry about a few dozen taels of silver, okay?" Fu Qingzhou spread his hands and said, "You said my secret book is worth eight hundred taels, I said it's worth nine hundred taels... There's no accurate price for this thing, and everyone knows there must be some water in it. There's no need for us to argue over such a small matter."

After some meaningless bargaining, Chen Dahe smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, deal."

As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper: "This is the information you need."

Chen Dahe didn't seem to be particularly unhappy about being bargained for. He probably felt that after seeing the cheap information, the customer still needed the analysis results to some extent.

Fu Qingzhou took the paper and unfolded it to take a look.

"Five days ago, Qiu Chan, following the master's order, brought three junior sisters to see a monk carrying a corpse at the foot of Zixiao Peak. They then had a brief fight with the monk, but neither side was injured. Afterwards, Qiu Chan and her junior sisters took the corpse back to Ziqi Xianfeng Temple."

"Four days ago, Qiu Chan left the temple alone and headed down the mountain to Shu."

"Two days ago, when Qiu Chan was resting in a small inn beside the Shu Road, an arrow flew in through the window, and there was paper on the arrow."

"After that, Qiu Chan turned her horse around and rode westward. Her whereabouts are unknown for the time being."

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and continued to look down.

The following record is Wu Changfeng's whereabouts.

"Five days ago, Wu Changfeng rescued several young men and women from an unnamed hill near Xiaoshi Village in Fuhe Province."

"Three days ago, Wu Changfeng was intercepted by a mysterious master. The pigeon he was sending to his father was shot dead by the mysterious master. Wu Changfeng then rode his horse to Shu."

"Two days ago, the mysterious master suddenly retreated, and Wu Changfeng was hit by an arrow in the wild, and there was paper on the arrow."

"After that, Wu Changfeng turned around and headed westwards. His whereabouts are currently unknown."

Fu Qingzhou smiled when he saw this.

Hua Wuying was also watching from the side, frowning slightly: "Someone is deliberately guiding them and then kidnapping them?"

"What I said..."

Fu Qingzhou murmured in a low voice: "So that's it."

Chen Dahe waited patiently for him to finish reading the intelligence, then asked, "Young man, would you consider buying the inference results? I can give you a lower price."

Fu Qingzhou smiled at him and said, "No need - I already know the answer."

As he spoke, he picked up the package that Chen Dahe brought: "This is the other things I want, right? You just said that the secret book is worth nearly a thousand taels, so if you count these, it's about enough?"
