The few of them returned to Linjiang Immortal Restaurant and were having dinner.
"Big Brother Xu, are we going to the Luo family's house to return the things to them?" Ding Feng asked.”
Xu Zhutao lowered his voice and said," That Divine Doctor Luo has already reported the case. If I want to get the reward money, I have to hand it over to the government. It's the government's job to solve the case. But now, I promised Miss Shuangyue not to expose their identities. What should I do?"”As he spoke, he lowered his head and pondered. The few of them were also at a loss.
"Big Brother Xu, you're a hero. Why do you care about the reward money?" Ding Feng said.”
"Haven't you heard of the saying that a hero can't win with a penny?" Xu Zhutao asked. This time, we helped out and mobilized so many people. I only drank a few cups of wine at the Yicui Restaurant twice and spent forty taels of silver. Why don't we want this reward?”
"Hmph, you didn't just drink a few glasses of wine!" Ding Ling said.”
Shangguan Wanqian said," That's right. Not only did Eldest Brother drink a few glasses of wine, but he also probably had a few beautiful women throwing themselves at him. These forty taels of silver were not wasted!"”
Xu Zhutao had already wiped off the lipstick marks on his face. He had just gone back to the restaurant to wash up. He scratched his head and said,"Everyone, the wine in this brothel is so expensive. What do you think about opening a brothel in the future? That way, we won't have to worry about our livelihood.”
"What?!" Ding Feng asked. Big Brother Xu, you're not serious."
Jade Raksha said," We'll discuss this later. I've thought of a way. We'll take the initiative to send the things back to the Luo family and ask Divine Doctor Luo to take the initiative to close the case. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"”Everyone praised it as a good idea.
Thus, they went to the Luo family's house after dinner.
Xu Zhutao took out the Jade Ice Toad and placed it on the table."Divine Doctor Luo, open it and see if this is the Jade Ice Toad that was stolen from your house.”
Luo Xinyi opened the yellow silk and examined it for a while.""Not bad, not bad! It's my family's Jade Ice Toad."
They looked over and saw a jade toad carved out of jade. Its mouth, nose, eyes, four legs, and the spots on its back were all clearly visible. Its entire body was dark green, and only a faint red line appeared on its back. It was carved with great craftsmanship and was very lifelike. Legend had it that this Jade Ice Toad could cure all poisons in the world, but he didn't know that something carved from a piece of jade could cure poison? The few of them found it unbelievable and wanted to come over to take a look.
"Legend has it that this Jade Ice Toad can cure all poisons, but I don't know how to use it?"”
" The poison can be removed by putting the Jade Ice Toad into the victim's mouth," Luo Xinyi said." The length of time the Jade Ice Toad stays in the victim's mouth depends on the severity of the poison. The victim will know how much of the poison has been removed.”
"How can it be so magical? A piece of jade can detoxify the poison?" Shangguan Wanqian asked.”
Luo Xinyi said," As long as I reveal the secret, you won't find it amazing anymore. Actually, the Jade Ice Toad is only able to detoxify because of the spirit herbs hidden in its stomach. Every time the Jade Ice Toad is used to detoxify, a portion of the spirit herbs inside will be consumed. That's why I said that the Jade Ice Toad isn't as magical as the rumors say. If it weren't for the fact that it was passed down from my ancestors, I wouldn't have needed to find this thing again. Everyone can see the red line on the back of the Jade Ice Toad. That's the gap where the skilled craftsman hid the spirit medicine into the belly of the Ice Toad and joined it together.”
They all asked the Jade Ice Toad to check, and it was just as Luo Xinyi had said.
Ding Feng suddenly understood and said,"I think it's precisely because the Jade Ice Toad is too magical in the martial world that it attracted the attention of people with ulterior motives to steal."”
"Young Master Xu, may I ask how you managed to retrieve the Jade Ice Toad?" Luo Yan 'er asked.”
Xu Zhutao then told him about Young Master Xie's feud with Miss Shuangyue, the courtesan of Yicui Brothel, as well as how they went to Yicui Brothel to negotiate.
" Yesterday, I heard from the servants that Young Master Xie was killed," Luo Yan 'er said." So that's what happened. He poisoned people when he failed to pursue them. He had his own way of seeking death." However, why didn't the courtesan of Yicui Restaurant come to seek medical treatment but did this theft? This was puzzling!”
Xu Zhutao said," I don't know if Miss Shuangyue sent someone to steal from us. This courtesan is not only powerful in martial arts, but she also has a mysterious master protecting her. As for their background, I don't know. I believe they won't come to your house again. Miss, you just have to be on guard. Don't come to your house for revenge."”
" Hmph!" Luo Yan 'er said angrily," If they don't come, then so be it. But if they do, I'll let them have a taste of my Ice Spirit Divine Needle!"”
Xu Zhutao recalled the time when he pretended to be sick and was stabbed by her with the Ice Spirit Divine Needle. He was shocked. Seeing that she was so competitive, he was afraid that she would lose out one day."Both of them are using poisonous hidden weapons. It's impossible to determine who gets hurt. It's best not to let them fight.”He said," I don't think it was Miss Hua Kui who sent someone to steal. She was poisoned and unconscious at that time. Perhaps the old man in charge of protecting her came to steal on his own accord. Miss Hua Kui's martial arts are really powerful. I almost fell into her hands." Young lady, it's better not to act rashly.”
"I won't go find her, but if they dare to come again, I won't be polite to them!" Luo Yan 'er said.”
" Yan 'er," Luo Xinyi said," those people are vicious and vicious. Don't make them your enemies. You're my only daughter. If anything happens to you, how will I live?"”He knew his daughter's competitive personality. He was really afraid that she would provoke some powerful enemies.
"Don't worry, Daddy. I won't go to them on my own accord," said Luo Yan 'er.”
" That's right," Luo Xinyi said." You guys stay here and chat. I'll go back to my room for a while."”As he spoke, he walked out.
" Young Master Xu and my sisters," Luo Yan 'er said." You have helped my family find the Jade Ice Toad. I am very grateful. How about I give you a few bottles of homemade pills later?"”
"Really?" Ding Feng was overjoyed. Sister Luo! I heard that your Luo family's medicinal pills are hard to come by. There are Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill, Heavenly Fragrance Doukou Pill, Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill, Six Grass Bear Gall Pill, and Yanxia Intermittent Ointment. What kind of medicinal pills are you going to give us?”
Luo Yan 'er said," Whether my family's pills are hard to come by depends on when you need them. In fact, my family isn't the only one who has these healing and detoxifying medicines in the world of martial artists. Now that the Tianshan Snow Lotus Pills have been used up, I'll give you a bottle of each of the other pills you mentioned. However, there are only ten pills per bottle. I hope that you don't think it's too little.”
The few of them were overjoyed. There were many dangers in Jianghu. With such a good medicine, they would be able to cure their opponents in the future. Of course, it was a lucky thing. The few of them immediately thanked him.
Not long after, Luo Xinyi came back with a few banknotes in Xu Zhutao's hand and said,""It's all thanks to the few of you. Young Master is not only young and handsome, but also highly skilled in martial arts. You're also as wise as the sea. This is a reward. In addition, I will go to the government to close the case.”
Xu Zhutao took it and said,"I shouldn't have asked for a reward, but I've spent all my money…I've used up all my money. I hope Divine Doctor Luo won't laugh at me.”
Luo Xinyi laughed and patted Xu Zhutao's shoulder.""Young Master, you don't have to be ashamed. A few days ago, he heard that the northern and southern Greenwood Alliance had started a war, and there were many casualties. It could be seen how much good deeds a person had to do to have a long life. If these people in the Greenwood Alliance ran out of money, what else could they do other than steal and rob? This old man really likes Young Master's true nature.”
Xu Zhutao scratched his head." I'm ashamed. Senior, you're the real hero."”
" Young Master, you did a good job," Luo Xinyi said with a smile." Although I don't know martial arts, I'm not inferior to all the self-proclaimed heroes in the world."”
Hearing these words, Xu Zhutao could not help but fall into deep thought. He suddenly thought of Ma Huateng. According to his deeds in Jianghu, he was not a bad person. However, in order to keep the throne of the Northern Greenwood Alliance, he insisted on fighting with the Southern Greenwood Alliance, which led to a crushing defeat and the loss of many subordinates 'lives. From this battle, it could be seen that he also had his own selfish motives. From this, it could be seen that time had passed and people often changed. There were too many temptations in the world, money, luxury houses, beautiful women, and status. All of them were things that people would fight for even if they had to die. Xu Zhutao couldn't help but be wary. He thought about how he had the title of Prince Charming and now had an inexplicable passion for money. Would he become such a person in the future? "Big Brother Xu!" She felt someone pulling her.
Xu Zhutao turned around and heard Ding Feng calling him. He saw Ding Feng standing beside him with a few small porcelain bottles in her hands and a smug look on her face. Only then did he realize that he had been too engrossed in his thoughts just now.
It turned out that the few of them were puzzled when they saw him being possessed and sweating profusely. He didn't even know that Luo Yan 'er had returned to her room to give him a few bottles of pills. Ding Feng had to wake him up.
"What's wrong with me?" Xu Zhutao asked.
"What is Young Master thinking about?" Luo Xinyi asked.”
Xu Zhutao sighed and said," Senior, there are too many temptations in the world. I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me. Just now, I thought that I might become a person who only knows how to fight for fame and fortune in the future. I won't be of any benefit to the people of this world. Therefore…I feel ashamed."”
Jade Rakshasa felt extremely comforted when she heard that he was thinking about such a thing. Although this kid had won the title of the White Horse Prince, he was still a simple and honest person.
"The martial world may be dangerous and treacherous, but I believe that you can keep your innocence, Young Master," said Luo Xinyi.”
"It's getting late," Xu Zhutao said.”With that, he cupped his fists and was about to leave.
"Young Master Xu, I will definitely look for you if I want to travel the martial world in the future!" Luo Yan 'er said.”
It was already late at night when they left the Luo family's residence, but there were still pedestrians on the streets. They walked toward the River Fairy Restaurant. Ding Feng seemed especially happy. Not only did she help the Luo family find the Jade Ice Toad, but she also received expensive medicine. She hummed a tune along the way and was lively.
The few of them returned to the Linjiang Immortal Restaurant and stayed for two more days. Xu Zhutao did not go out except for eating and practicing martial arts.
On this day, they were having breakfast. There were many diners in the lobby when they suddenly heard someone sigh and say,"Sigh, it's really difficult to be peaceful in the martial arts world these days!”Another person said," Isn't that so? The storm of the war between the North and South Greenwood Alliance hasn't calmed down yet. F * ck, there are bandits everywhere now."”Xu Zhutao looked up and saw two middle-aged men sitting on the right side of the table talking. The first one to speak was a big man with a broad face and a dignified appearance. The second one was a big man with thick eyebrows and a beard. He had been idle for two days and felt very bored. The group of mysterious black-robed knights who appeared in Jiujiang did not send anyone to find trouble with him. Now, it seemed that he wanted to hear more details about something.
"Chengxing Bodyguard Agency has always been peaceful and friendly," the person who spoke earlier said."I didn't expect that this time, before we even left Huguang, we would have met with an unexpected disaster."”
Another person said," That gang of bandits is too f * cking vicious. They robbed the money and even killed the escorts. What a vicious heart. Who would dare to escort in the future?!"”
Xu Zhutao took a glass of wine and walked to the table of the two big men. He raised his glass and said,"Brothers, please. I am Xu Zhutao. May I ask your names?”
The two men were surprised. They looked Xu Zhutao up and down and saw that he was eight feet tall, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was handsome and unrestrained. The man who spoke first said,"We are the escorts of the Vast Prosper Escort Agency. My name is You Sihai, and the other is my colleague, Zou Bafang. Are you really the White Horse Prince, Xu Zhutao?”
"I'm really Xu Zhutao. Cheers to Brother You and Brother Zou!" Xu Zhutao said.”As he spoke, he finished the wine in his glass.
"My apologies, my apologies!" I didn't expect the White Horse Young Master to stay here. It's a pleasure!”As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of wine and downed it.
Zou Bafang didn't believe that this kid was Prince Bai Ma. He raised his eyebrows and said,""Are you really the White Horse Prince? Can you kill Gong Ao?"
"Could it be that someone is impersonating the White Horse Prince?" Xu Zhutao smiled faintly. Brother Zou, what do I have to do to make you believe me?"
"I'll believe it if you can take a punch from me, kid."”
"Then please punch me with all your strength, Brother Zou." Xu Zhutao said.”
Zou Bafang stood up and raised his fist, which was as big as a vinegar bowl, and quickly punched Xu Zhutao's chest. Xu Zhutao didn't dodge and let the fist hit his chest. Zou Bafang only felt that his fist was like hitting a ball of cotton, and his fist, which was punched with 80% internal strength, was no different from a baby's fist.
"I believe you. You're the White Horse Prince."”
Xu Zhutao smiled." I heard from the two of you that Chengxing Escort Agency was robbed by a group of bandits. What happened?"”
Travel Four Seas sighed." A few days ago, Chengxing Escort Agency sent an escort to Chengdu, but they were robbed before they could leave Huguang. Those bandits were so cruel. They almost killed everyone in Chengxing Escort Agency. Only one of the escorts saw the opportunity early and jumped into the river to escape with his life. Only then did he bring back the news. It's really dangerous to be an escort now!"”
"Brother Xu, come sit down and talk!"”As he spoke, he sat down.
Xu Zhutao sat down and said,"May I ask where the Chengxing Escort Agency was robbed? Who was the robber?"
" They were robbed in Enshi, east of Huguang," You Sihai said." According to Xiao Liu, who escaped, the group of people were all masked. They were ambushed when they were resting in the mountains at night. It was also because of that night that Xiao Liu was able to run to the river and jump into the river to escape."”
