Chapter 77 The More Enemies, the Fewer Enemies
"Have you ever thought about why I am able to appear in Yu'nan City?"

Hearing these words, Xiong Shao was clearly stunned.

He waved his hand to stop the escorts from continuing, muttering, "Yes, why? If Long Dabei is dead, how could Mingjian Pavilion let you go? Your relationship with him..."

"The elders of Mingjian Pavilion are well aware of my relationship with him."

Fu Qingzhou took over the conversation and said, "When Long Dabei died, Lord Li Jingzhe was beside him, and naturally he also mentioned that he wanted to take me back to the capital."

A hint of doubt flashed across Xiong Shao's eyes.

"But in the end, I didn't go with him and ended up in Yu'nan City."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Boss Xiong, can you guess why?"

Xiong Shao was seriously injured in bed at this time, and his mind was obviously a little confused. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Please give me some advice."

"Of course because..."

Fu Qingzhou whispered: "Mingjian Pavilion needs me to help them."

Xiong Shao's pupils shrank.

Another escort at the side couldn't help but blurt out: "Nonsense! How could Mingjian Pavilion want a nameless boy like you to work for them!"

Another escort echoed, "I'm afraid you just took advantage of the chaos to escape when both Mingjian Pavilion and Long Dabei were defeated!"

Before Fu Qingzhou could say anything, Xiong Shao glared at him and said, "Shut up! He may have escaped for a while, but how could he have escaped for days? If the secret envoy of Mingjian Pavilion wanted to capture this man, how could they let him escape to this place and wander around the city?"

As he said this, he glared at the escort who finally found Fu Qingzhou: "What was he doing when you found him?"

The escort scratched his head and said, "Uh... by the Hongjiang River, look at the night view."

Fu Qingzhou smiled.

He had many ways to convince Xiong Shao to let him go, such as bringing up the powerful Zhenxian Palace and Qingsongzi, or pretending to be mysterious to scare the other party...

But that's not the best way.

What Xiong Shao wants now... is to get help from the imperial court and get his own escort agency out of its bad reputation.

Therefore, I need to give him a reason while he lets me go... a reason not only to let me go but also to help me.

That must also be the reason that Xiong Shao is most willing to believe.

"Young man..." Xiong Shao whispered.

Fu Qingzhou interrupted him: "Chief Escort, my surname is Fu."

"... Young Master Fu."

Xiong Shao immediately changed his words, but there was still doubt on his face: "I wonder if you can explain it more clearly?"

"Now that things have come to this, I am not afraid to tell the chief escort." Fu Qingzhou nodded and said, "I do know Long Dabei's secret, but he used some special means to put the secret into my mind, and even added a restriction, so I can't tell it even if I want to."

"The reason why Mingjian Pavilion let me go is because they hope that I can find the secret hidden by Long Dabei, because only I can find this secret."

"Lord Li and I have our own agreement. I give them what they want, and they will give me glory."

Xiong Shao showed a look of sudden realization.

He immediately closed his eyes and was silent for a moment.

When he opened his eyes again, his face had calmed down a lot: "After you came, many experts came to the surrounding area of ​​the escort agency... They should all be secret envoys of Mingjian Pavilion, right?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled gently: "Of course."

He guessed correctly.

Although Li Jingzhe agreed to let me go, how could he completely leave me alone?
Long Dabei escaped, and even Ning Baimei, who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else, came to hunt him down personally. How could they just let it go just because someone was dead?
Although the green pine seed intimidated the other party, given the Mingjian Pavilion's style of doing things, they would definitely send people to follow me and try to find out something.

Although Fu Qingzhou was weak and could not detect those secret envoys, he could figure it out with just a little brainpower.

So with just a few words and some countermeasures, Xiong Shao was immediately convinced by the story he had made up.

No…not just the story.

In fact, except for the fact that "an agreement" was false, everything else was true.

Xiong Shao clearly believed it by now and sighed: "In that case, Mr. Fu, please leave." He waved his hands, looking deflated, and slowly wanted to lie back down.

"Wait a minute."

Fu Qingzhou suddenly asked, "Boss Xiong, don't you want to revive the Changqing Escort Agency?"

Xiong Shao was startled, and even stopped lying down: "Young man, what do you mean?"

"Didn't the chief escort leader just say that?"

Fu Qingzhou asked with a smile: "You hope to be able to help Mingjian Pavilion, and you also hope that they can help you restore your reputation."

Xiong Shao frowned and said, "Since you have already reached an agreement with Mingjian Pavilion, there is naturally no need for us to have any business with Changqing Escort Agency. Why are you talking about this?"

"not necessarily."

Fu Qingzhou shook his head and said, "There will always be people who can recognize me, and there will always be people who want to get something from me like the chief escort leader did before."

Xiong Shao was startled: "You want me to protect you?"

As soon as this was said, the surrounding escorts were dissatisfied again: "Aren't you protected by the Mingjian Pavilion? What else do you need us to do?"

"wrong."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "What I want is not protection, but trouble."

"Trouble?" Xiong Shao also scratched his head: "Can you explain it more clearly?"

Fu Qingzhou dragged a chair over and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and held it in his hand. He blew the hot steam on the tea and said slowly, "The more enemies, the fewer enemies."

Xiong Shao was confused.

Not only him, all the escorts in the room were stunned.

Tang Jiao was fine. She was used to her elder brother having countless inexplicable ideas. Although this sounded contradictory, the elder brother must have his own reasons.
Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I guess there must be a lot of people at the foot of Langhuan Mountain. After all, everyone knows that Long Dabei was going there."

"I am going to Langhuan Mountain next. As for why, I hope you don't ask, but what is certain is that Mingjian Pavilion knows my destination."

"Although Long Dabei changed my appearance before, I believe there are still many people who can recognize me and want to cause trouble for me, and Mingjian Pavilion... they may not stand up for me. Once some things are exposed, they will create more trouble."

Hearing this, Xiong Shao nodded slowly: "If Mingjian Pavilion acknowledges your relationship with them, it is equivalent to announcing to the world that you have a secret, and more people will come to trouble you."

"Although the Mingjian Pavilion is powerful, its main task is to monitor the officials, not to search for treasures like the people in the martial arts world... We can't always help you solve problems and protect you."

Fu Qingzhou took over and said, "That's right, so I have to solve those problems myself."

Xiong Shao finally found some wisdom as the head of the first escort agency in Shu, and his eyes sparkled: "So, you thought about spreading the news of your relationship with Long Dabei, attracting people from all walks of life to fight for it, and thus disrupting the situation?"

"good."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "If a few smart and powerful enemies want to cause trouble for me, I can't handle it; but if a group of people want to cause trouble for me and muddy the waters, things will become simpler."

Xiong Shao narrowed his eyes: "What benefit do we get from doing this for you? Will Mingjian Pavilion remember our kindness?"

"Maybe not now."

Fu Qingzhou said seriously: "But I will tell them that it was Changqing Escort Agency that helped me and them."

Xiong Shao frowned: "Only based on this one promise?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled: "The chief escort doesn't have to believe it."

Xiong Shao fell into deep thought.

After a while, he slowly said: "It's just spreading a piece of news... Moreover, this can also show that Changqing Escort Agency has nothing to do with Long Dabei."

“We will do this.”

After saying that, Xiong Shaowu slowly lay down, covering his wound, obviously exhausted.

Fu Qingzhou did not leave immediately, but showed a somewhat awkward smile: "Actually, there is one more thing."

Xiong Shao said, "Hmm?"

Fu Qingzhou laughed dryly and said, "Can you lend me some money for the trip?"
