After seeing Tang Zhen's smile, Ellie felt inexplicably relieved.
She was not a monk and could not sense Tang Zhen's true strength, but for some reason, she just felt that Tang Zhen was very powerful.
When facing the three Loucheng monks, Ellie was still a little nervous, but after seeing Tang Zhen, all her fears immediately dissipated.
She knew very well that if she was in danger, Tang Zhen would definitely rescue her as soon as possible.
Although Tang Zhen didn't promise, she still felt this way, and she didn't know why?
When Tang Zhen turned his head, Ellie also adjusted her mentality and continued to play her role.
"Do you three have somewhere to go? If so, I can lead you there directly!"
Ai Li didn't seem to see Tang Zhen and looked at the three Loucheng monks with a smile on her face, as if she was a qualified tour guide.
In terms of acting and deception, she definitely has extraordinary talent, otherwise Tang Zhen would not have been recruited before.
The three Loucheng monks also did not see through Ellie's disguise, they just regarded her as a young girl who came out to make a living, a young girl with no scheming intentions.
After hearing Ellie's inquiry, the three Loucheng monks looked at each other and seemed to be communicating with each other.
"I have a few questions I would like to know, such as who controls Tianxu City, how many soldiers there are, and how many monks are there?"
The leader of the Loucheng monks asked. Normally, this question should not be asked to Ellie, but he still raised it.
Ellie may not know much, but she definitely knows something, which will be more or less helpful.
Hearing the question from the Loucheng monk, Ellie raised her eyebrows and said in a calm tone: "The rulers of Tianxu City are the Horton family, and they have the 20th hereditary viscount title granted by the empire.
Five generations.
This generation of Viscount Horton is very good. Although he rarely appears in public, the residents of the city support him very much."
When Ellie said this, she subconsciously curled her lips, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
This action was fleeting, but the three monks saw it and concluded that Ellie was saying something against her will.
Obviously the ruler of Tianxu City is unpopular, otherwise he wouldn't be so disdainful to an ordinary little girl after mentioning him.
But because of the other party's status, I can only say some unintentional compliments to avoid getting myself into trouble.
This situation made the three Loucheng monks secretly happy. If the ruler was unpopular, it would be easier for them to control Tianxu City.
Ellie didn't seem to notice the other person's expression, and was still minding her own business as she said, "I don't actually know how many soldiers there are in Tianxu City, but they must be at least several thousand.
As for the monks you mentioned, they are all high-ranking and powerful people, and I have no contact with them at all, so I cannot answer your question."
When Ellie said this, she seemed to remember something. She looked around secretly, as if to make sure there was no one eavesdropping.
After seeing Ellie's actions, the three Loucheng monks' hearts moved slightly, guessing that she was going to reveal some secret information.
Sure enough, Ellie looked mysterious and whispered to the three Loucheng monks: "Although I don't know how many monks there are in the city, I know their gathering place. If you want to go there, I can take you there."
You guys should go there.
But I agreed in advance that if I go there I have to pay extra, otherwise I will never take that risk!”
Looking at Ellie at this time, she looks like a fussy hawker who wants to make money but is afraid of taking risks and at the same time is worried about not getting the ideal reward, with a tangled and hesitant expression.
The three Loucheng monks sneered, thinking that they could clearly see Ellie's little thoughts.
Mortal people love wealth and fame most, and for these things, they often take risks.
Although the little girl in front of me is smart and clever, she is still like this. In the final analysis, it is all about money.
"You take us there. If we confirm that we are not telling lies, you will definitely be rewarded."
The leader of the Loucheng monks said that they originally wanted to gather information, but now that they knew where the suspected monks were gathering, they naturally wanted to go and inquire about it.
"Oh well……"
Ellie looked at the other party intently, and it was clear from the look in her eyes that she hoped that the other party would pay her in advance.
After all, the place we are going to next is beyond the scope of normal guidance, and we must first see the reward before we can act.
"You little girl, you have too many thoughts, which is not a good thing. Is it possible that I can still default on your debt?"
Seeing that Ellie was unwilling to leave, the face of the Loucheng monk turned cold. He had never looked down upon the aborigines, and he was slightly angry at this time.
If it wasn't on the street, he might have taken action and let this annoying little girl lead the way.
"Stingy guy..."
Ellie murmured in a low voice, then lowered her head and walked in front. The cheerful aura that was originally permeating her body had now disappeared.
Although the atmosphere became a little awkward, the expressions of the three Loucheng monks became more relaxed, and Ellie's natural expression of emotions made them subconsciously lower their vigilance.
Taking the "elevator" in Tianxu City, the four of them arrived at the central area, and then, led by Ellie, they walked towards a road with few pedestrians.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in Tianxu City, but they are scattered among three mountains and underground cities, so except for the main streets, most of the other streets are deserted.
The three Loucheng monks had noticed this before, so even though there were not many pedestrians on the street, they didn't particularly care.
Besides, the place where the monks gather should be in a quiet place to avoid being disturbed by laypeople.
Of course, the main reason is that I feel confident that no one in Tianxu City can do anything to me.
After walking for a while, two figures appeared in front of the road, walking leisurely in the middle of the road.
The three Loucheng monks took a look and realized that they were just ordinary people, so they didn't take it to heart.
It didn't take long before he caught up with two passers-by and passed each other.
The leader of the Loucheng monks glanced at him and found that a passerby was also looking at him. When the two parties made eye contact, the other person showed a kind smile.
The monk in Loucheng had no expression on his face, as if he was looking at an ant, with a trace of ridicule flashing in his eyes.
"Despicable natives, even their flattering smiles are so disgusting..."
With this thought flashing through his mind, the Loucheng monk turned around and continued to move forward.
As a result, at this moment, a picture suddenly flashed in his mind. When he entered the city before, he seemed to have seen these two passers-by at the city gate.
Why did the opponent who was originally left behind suddenly appear in front of him and walk on the same road by chance?
At the same time that questions arose in his mind, a huge sense of crisis suddenly erupted, making the Loucheng monk pale in fright.
"No, I fell into a trap!"
After realizing that something was wrong, he was about to remind his companions, but he saw two cold lights flash suddenly and went straight towards his companions.
The cold light was so fast and urgent that the companions had no time to react, and the two heads had already shot up into the sky.
Seeing his companion disappear into white light, the leader of the Loucheng monks was angry and anxious. He directly drew his weapon and charged forward.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the passerby who smiled at him raised his arm and aimed it directly at his chest.
"not good!"
Seeing the opponent's movements, the Loucheng monk was startled and subconsciously tried to dodge.
As a result, at this moment, a muffled sound came, his body was hit, and his health bar was almost completely emptied.
"No, evacuate quickly!"
After realizing that something was wrong, the Loucheng monk turned around and fled. If he hesitated any longer, he would probably end up here.
As a result, at this moment, a mesh-like object appeared out of thin air, not only completely blocking his way, but even shrouding him.
"Damn it, he's actually a Loucheng monk!"
The Loucheng monk exclaimed. He originally wanted to escape, but now he was completely desperate.
