Xuanxia

Chapter 604 Grass Team
"I...I used to be a temple abbot."

Facing Fu Qingzhou's questioning, Fado was very straightforward and confessed directly.

He knelt obediently on the ground, his hands flat on his knees, his expression very sincere, completely different from his previous acting mysteriously.

“Before I became a monk, I was actually a gangster.”

Fatuo lowered his head and said, "But I was living in the underworld and couldn't get enough food... I barely entered the fifth realm when I was thirty years old, and went to work as a security guard for a wealthy family. But I dozed off in the middle of the night and was caught by a few thieves who broke into the yard. Not only did they steal things, they also slept with the master's concubine. Afterwards, the master beat me up and beat me half to death."

"I held a grudge against him, so I secretly kidnapped the master's child for a large sum of money. But the dead child was so foul-mouthed and struggled so hard that I... lost control and killed him."

"Afterwards, I was afraid of retaliation, so I found a remote place and became a monk. I didn't expect that because of my practice, I was promoted to abbot within a few years of entering the temple."

He said carefully: "During those years, I... I became much more cautious and learned a set of tricks to deceive believers. I went down the mountain to make money a lot."

"Originally I could have lived like this my whole life, but maybe it's because I'm a liar that I was targeted..."

Fu Qingzhou listened to his story and felt quite amused.

A charlatan who had committed a crime and was left with nowhere to go but to become a monk to avoid disaster was unexpectedly targeted by Huijue.

Of course, the one who contacted him was not Huijue, but Yuanzhao, also known as Li Qing.

Li Qing's approach was the same carrot and stick approach.

A carrot is a golden pill.

With this golden body pill, Fatuo finally broke through the sixth realm and became a true master.

As for the big stick...of course it was the result of Fatuo's past experience of killing people.

"He, he said that if I took his elixir and stopped helping him, he would throw me to my former enemy. He also said that my enemy had been looking for me for many years and had figured out more than a dozen ways to kill me..."

Fatuo smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect that Master Yuanzhao really took me back to the city where I was. There was a wanted poster for me in the city, and even an arm and a leg were marked with a price."

"I am indeed afraid, and Master Yuanzhao also said that as long as I follow his lead, not only will my realm continue to rise, but my status will also soar to the sky..."

Fu Qingzhou sneered: "So, you still have leverage over them? Then why are you sliding down so quickly? Aren't you afraid that they will use you?"

"Hey."

Fatuo raised his head and said with a wry smile, "I don't have any other skills, but after years of deception, I still have the ability to judge people. You don't have the fear and confusion of those refugees in your eyes, and your words and deeds are quite graceful. You must be an important person."

"Now, you can sneak into the tent easily. I, a sixth-level expert, can't find you at all... You must be at least a sixth-level expert, or even higher!"

"There are not many people in the world who are this young and have this much strength... You..."

He asked cautiously, "Is that right, Fu Qingzhou?"

Fu Qingzhou was startled and laughed: "You can actually recognize me?"

“It’s really you!”

Fatuo's expression changed, and there was surprise and a little joy in his look.

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "That is to say, you discovered that I was unusual before? Then why didn't you expose me?"

"Actually... before you sneaked in, I didn't dare to confirm it." Fatuo smiled carefully and said, "After all, there are so many refugees from Panyang City, and there are many people of high status among them. Some people are bolder and more stable, which is understandable."

"Besides, I have to deal with so many things every day, and you don't get in our way, so how can I have the time to deal with you?"

He chuckled and said, "I've heard outside that you're already a big shot around the emperor, with a title! And you're also a leader of the Mingjian Pavilion! With your abilities, you can definitely protect me and deal with Yuanzhao... oh no, that charlatan Yuanzhao!"

Fu Qingzhou sneered.

This guy is really something, no wonder Huijue likes him.

Not only does he play the role of the "high monk" perfectly, but he is also very good at identifying people. Even his kneeling and sliding posture is so natural.

He couldn't help but ask, "Does Yuanzhao have no one under his command? Is someone like you worthy of his important use?"

Facing such blatant contempt, Fatuo was not displeased at all. Instead, he said proudly, "Young Master Fu, don't underestimate me. I am one of the top five people among the Evil Monks! It has only been a month or two since Yuanzhao, the charlatan, organized the Evil Monks. How many talents can he recruit? I am already his confidant!"

Fu Qingzhou: “…”

It seems that Huijue is really anxious and dares to use such a makeshift team.

But I have to say, if it weren't for my own actions, Fado's makeshift team might not be able to accomplish anything great.

"Haha, quite interesting." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile: "Since you are so tactful, I will tell you directly - do you know who is behind Yuanzhao?"

"Who is it?" Fatuo looked confused.

Fu Qingzhou said calmly: "Hui Jue."

"Hui...jue?"

Fatuo was a little confused at first, then he seemed to realize something, and his face turned pale instantly: "Is it... that Huijue?"

"It's that Huijue." Fu Qingzhou curled the corners of his mouth.

Fatuo's entire body collapsed visibly, and he began to tremble with fear, his bald head quickly covered with cold sweat: "I, I, I, I... I am working for the rebel monk of Jinchan Temple? I, I, I..."

"You are smart enough to know how serious a mistake you have made."

Fu Qingzhou interrupted him and smiled, "Besides, you kidnapped the master's child, killed someone and fled, and you cheated and harmed countless people in the underworld. Who do you think can protect you?"

"You! Only you!"

Fado suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed hard: "Only you can protect me! Master Fu, Lord Fu, Lord Fu! Please save me!"

Fu Qingzhou squinted and smiled.

Of course he didn't intend to protect this person.

You've done so many evil things and killed so many people, and you still want to live?
But now, he had to live.

"You are indeed very smart."

So, Fu Qingzhou chuckled and said, "I don't need to say much about the rest, right? Tell me everything you know, including the prescription, the method of refining the medicine, and your little fruit... Don't let me find out that you are hiding anything, otherwise, you know the consequences."

"Yes!"

Fatuo kowtowed and said, "Master Fu, whatever you want to know, I will tell you right away!"

Fu Qingzhou felt a little relieved when he saw his expression.

Fortunately... although Huijue and the lord are powerful, they are not omnipotent after all.

In such a short time, even for them, it would be impossible to immediately gather an elite force.

It’s just a makeshift team, all of them are just a makeshift team.

……

"Your Anyue City garrison is not a makeshift team. There are quite a few capable people."

Ning Wushu flipped through the roster handed over by Chi Tiancong and whispered, "Do you have any doubts about who might be the traitor?"

Chi Tiancong looked at the woman in front of him with shining eyes.

Ning Wushu was much younger than him. Not only was she wearing coarse linen clothes, but her cheeks were also bruised and bloody. She didn't look pretty or majestic at all.

But Chi Tiancong's eyes were full of admiration.

When Ning Wushu found him, he only said two sentences.

"I'm here to help you."

"My name is Ning Wushu."

Would you rather have no books?
It’s better to have no books!
The adopted daughter of the Northern Frontier Grand Marshal Hong Ruohai! A great general in the Northern Frontier Army! And the runner-up in the Hidden Dragon Hundred Heroes Conference!
Such a person, come to help me? !
Chi Tiancong's eyes were full of stars.

"I want to ask you a question."

Ning Wushu saw that he didn't say anything, so he raised his head and said, "Who might be the traitor? Remember, the traitor is responsible for monitoring the coffin transportation. Every time you transport a coffin, he must be there."

Chi Tiancong woke up as if from a dream, his old face flushed, he exclaimed, and said quickly: "Oh oh oh! There are indeed a few people who are worthy of suspicion. These days I found that these people..."

He reached out and pointed at the roster, calling out a few names.

Ning Wushu smiled slightly: "Okay, Lao Wang has gone to get the medicine, right? Then assign some tasks to these suspected traitors."
