If Draseer wants to truly unify Nanshan County, Qingshan City is the biggest obstacle of Drasell, and in Qingshan City, the Zhang family is the greatest.
The stumbling block, kicking it open is the first task.
However, Drasell is also unwilling to do hard work with the Zhang family. Only the current plan can only be conducted by the first step of the enemy's situation.
Along the path, Draser and others rushed for a few days, turning over the mountains, and finally reached the border of Qingshan City. On the way, the only guard led by Drasell was Luo Cheng, Wu Yonghe Baili Shadow, and some people.
I have arrived in Qingshan City in advance and secretly investigate the movement of Qingshan City.
…………………………………………………………………………………
At the sunset Xishan, to a small village closest to Qingshan City, Drasell is going to bring a few people to find a farmer for a temporary living. Although Qingshan City is relatively rich, the civilians at the bottom are still bitter.
There is only one uncle found by Draser who found. There are three children, two men and one woman. Their mother has long been killed by the mountain thieves, leaving only the orphan and widow.
Uncle itself does not have any martial arts cultivation, just a farmer with a little effort, there are a few acres of thin fields in the family, maintaining a livelihood. In the heavenly empire, ordinary people want to cultivate martial arts.
The martial arts college in the city. Second, it is from the army to the barracks. Third, it is to join a certain force.
In addition to these three ordinary channels, it can also be used by self -study and cultivation martial arts. It is only precious. Even the lowest martial arts method is worth thousands of gold coins.
Adventure.
When the child reaches 8 years old, he can go to the martial arts college in the big city to register, pay a little money to test the talent. If the talent is good, you can be admitted by the college and practice martial arts.
Or at the age of 10 years, meet the military admission conditions, and enter the barracks. This is the easiest way for ordinary people to practice martial arts. If you want to join a certain force, you need a little strength in itself. This way is not suitable for ordinary civilians.
When Draser took everyone to the uncle's house, the uncle thought that Draser and others were mountain thieves. They took the children and dared not come out in the cellar.
Fall here.
Looking at the uncle who was frightened, Dracus said: "Uncle, don't be afraid. We are the mercenaries who come to Qingshan City to complete the task, because the night is deep, and we want to live in the uncle's house for one night. Rest assured, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we
I won't stay in vain, let's give money. "Then, took out dozens of gold coins and put it on the table.
After seeing so many gold coins, the uncle was immediately tempted. If you have these gold coins, then your child, the registration fee for entering the martial arts college, you will say: "Adult, I ... we are simple here, there are few houses here
, Can't use so many gold coins. "
"It's okay, the uncle just collects it, as long as the uncle lets us live here for one night, it will be."
"Okay, then ... there are two rooms in the house, three beds, adults casually."
"Thank you Uncle!" Said, pointing to Luo Cheng, Wu Yong, Bailing Shadow, let them three squeeze with themselves, Guan Susu, Cui'er and Mother Shen.
In the evening, Russell and others took out the sweet potatoes and roasted them. Naturally, they did not forget about the uncle's family. The uncle's family had never eaten such delicious food, and they did not know that it was spiritual food. For commoners like them,
Spiritual food only exists in legends, and they have never tasted it in their lives. They dare not regard sweet potatoes as spiritual food. They just feel that after eating sweet potatoes, they feel warm all over, and the children's physical fitness can be improved a lot. I believe that through the martial arts academy
The talent test can also be made easier.
After receiving a large sum of gold coins and eating such delicious food, the uncle was naturally grateful to Dresel and others. At night, he took several children and hid in the woodshed without coming out, giving up the two houses.
Russell.
Late at night, Russell and others sat together and continued roasting sweet potatoes. Wu Yong asked: "Young Master, are we going to enter Qingshan City tomorrow? If you need any subordinates, please notify the brothers to come and help.
"
"This time we entered Qingshan City mainly for exploration. The main task was to investigate the movements of the Zhang family and find the survivors of the Feiyu Mercenary Group. There is no need to make it known to everyone. Everything will be done according to my original plan
The plan is to continue to be implemented. We can disguise ourselves and sneak into Qingshan City secretly. Especially Susu and you three, you must disguise yourself to avoid being recognized."
Guan Susu: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Mother Shen also learned some disguise techniques when she and my mother were mercenaries. By using spiritual power to seal the acupuncture points on the face, she can temporarily change the shape of her face. Of course, such a blinding method,
It can only be hidden from ordinary people. The strong people in the Earth Martial Realm have the ability to sense the spiritual energy around them and can easily sense what is wrong with people's faces."
"That's enough. A strong person in the Earth Martial Realm is not a cabbage. He will run around all over the street without any problems. Even if we really encounter one, there is no strong person in the Earth Martial Realm who can release his soul power to sense the surrounding environment 24 hours a day."
Guan Susu: "Then... Your Majesty, what are our plans after we enter Qingshan City?"
"Well, I do have a plan. However, I want to ask Mother Shen a question. Does Mother Shen know the location of the spirit stone vein when it was discovered?"
Shen's mother shook her head and said: "I don't know that this old slave was the one who brought people there, while the young lady and I stayed in Qingshan City. After that, I only heard from the master that the spirit stone veins are located in the endless mountains in the north of Qingshan City.
It’s in a canyon, but I don’t know where exactly it is.”
Russell also guessed this situation. After all, the Endless Mountains are so big that it would be difficult to find the exact location only by word of mouth without walking through it in person.
"In this case, we can only use a more troublesome method, go to Qingshan City to become a free mercenary, and then take on more missions in the Endless Mountains."
Guan Susu was a little confused and said: "Your Majesty, aren't we going to investigate the Zhang family? Why do we want to become mercenaries again?"
"Young idiot, just give us the order regarding the investigation. Someone will naturally keep an eye on the Zhang family for us, and the few of us will be mercenaries. Su Su, what do you think is the most important thing for the Zhang family now?
?”
After Guan Susu hesitated, he said without hesitation: "Mining the spirit stone veins!"
"Isn't this right! The Zhang family wants to mine the spirit stone veins. Who do you think they will send?"
Wu Yong smiled at this time and said: "What the young master means is that the Zhang family will send the mercenary group to mine!"
Russell patted Wu Yong's shoulder hard and said, "That's right! It's Wu Yong who thinks so fast."
"Hehehe, if it hadn't been for the young master's suggestion, Wu Yong wouldn't have thought of it."
"The Lingshi mine is located in the Endless Mountains, not close to Qingshan City. If the Zhang family sends their own bodyguards there, why don't they tell everyone what treasures they have found? Let's not say whether there will be people in Qingshan City trying to grab food.
, as long as the Murong family knows this news, they will definitely come to share the pie. According to the temperament of the Zhang family, they will not be willing to give up half of the spirit stone veins."
"If you want to mine the spirit stone veins and keep the secret at the same time, you can only send out a mercenary group that you can trust, or find someone like Qiao Zhuang to become a mercenary, and send many people to the Endless Mountains in the name of doing tasks.
Afterwards, you can use the mercenary group’s fleet to secretly transport the spirit stones back. This is the most perfect method of mobilizing personnel.”
Guan Susu immediately understood and said: "Your Majesty, as long as we accept more missions in the Endless Mountains, we can find the Zhang family's mercenary group and determine the location of the spirit stone veins!"
"Not only that, if there are survivors in Susu's father's mercenary group, they will also try their best to trace the location of the spirit stone veins, or hinder the mining of the spirit stone veins. As long as we enter the Endless Mountains, the probability of finding them will be
It will also be much larger.
Once we find the location of the spirit stone veins, we will reveal this news to the various forces around Qingshan City, such as gangs of bandits, second-rate nobles, or those who are hiding in the dark and trying to provoke conflicts between me and the Zhang family. They will
What will happen?”
Bailiying smiled and said: "That will definitely be very interesting. The whole Qingshan City will be a mess."
"So, Baili Ying, you tell the brothers to be lurking, and then when Qingshan City is in chaos, you can sow discord among them... Kill a few key figures in the force, or cause some big incident... You
know!"
Bailiying: "Understood, young master, don't worry, the brothers can still complete this matter, ensuring that Qingshan City will not be calm for several months."
"However, intelligence collection cannot be slowed down. There are not enough manpower. We can go back at any time to adjust. Do you understand?"
"Yes! I understand."
After the meeting, everyone went back to their rooms. Guan Susu also took Shen's mother and Cui'er back to the room. Back in the room, Shen's mother immediately set up a soundproof formation and said to Guan Susu: "Miss, this...
Russell, why is it different from what you said! I don't feel reckless, and very smart. His subordinates are also strong and have excellent minds. This... is completely different from what was planned."
After everyone set off, they traveled over mountains and ridges, and encountered several attacks from strange beasts along the way. However, without exception, they were all instantly killed by Luo Cheng, Wu Yong, and Baili Ying. Not only were they powerful, but they also had physical skills and martial arts
They are all very profound, even their intelligence surprised Mother Shen.
, and all aspects of qualities are eye-catching; the thing that makes Shen’s mother guess the most is Russell, because Russell shows no concern for everything, but
If you really want to study it, it is so well understood that it is really elusive.
Guan Susu was also annoyed for a while and said: "How do I know? Our intelligence has always said that Russell is a reckless man who is not a good person! Only after contacting me did I know that this Russell is simply
He is a monster. Not only is he powerful, he also has an outstanding mind! His attitude towards me is even more unpredictable. Sometimes he doesn't care, and sometimes he is sincere. He has always admired my appearance, not even the slightest bit.
I didn’t mean that. I tried to seduce me several times, but to no avail. He said he didn’t trust me. Indeed, he tried to test my identity and intentions several times. He said he trusted me. There were several secret meetings in the palace.
He also didn't shy away from me, so I didn't even know whether Russell trusted me or doubted me. Moreover, I didn't find anything I didn't do well or where my identity was exposed."
After hesitating, Mother Shen said, "Well, otherwise, we can find an opportunity to escape and leave Prince Dela Palace in Qingshan City."
"No, if I disappear for no reason, Russell will definitely doubt my identity, and Mingyue Tower in Nanshan City will also be suspected. Sister Xianyin and the others will be in danger. If there is any problem, our several years of operation will be lost. If it is to be destroyed in one day, do we have to experience the tragedy of the imperial capital again?"
"But if I am you, young lady, if something unexpected happens, how will we explain it after the palace lord comes out of seclusion?"
"Don't worry, even if Russell doesn't trust me and has no intention of killing me for the time being, my life is still safe. I guess he is just curious about my origin, or is habitually vigilant. As long as I can completely obtain His trust and all plans can be returned to their original point."
"But……"
"Mother Shen, I will tell you that everything should focus on the present. The Zhang family in Qingshan City is our biggest enemy. We must uproot the Zhang family. In the entire Nanshan County, only the Zhang family has this strength. Deira Palace, this is our only chance."
After hesitating, Mother Shen said: "Then...I understand, but from now on, I will stay in the palace. If the young lady encounters any danger, I can also make some preparations."
Guan Susu nodded and said: "Yes, Russell will definitely agree to this request."
On the other side, Russell and others also gathered together to chat.
"Young Master, there is no sound from Miss Guan's side... It's pretty much what the Young Master guessed." Luo Cheng was still a little suspicious of Guan Susu.
"Perhaps they are whispering something. There is no need to worry about these things. How is the implementation of Qingshan City's plan?"
Bailiying: "According to the young master's instructions, the plan went very smoothly."
"That's good. Unexpectedly, Qingshan City is much weaker than I thought... Go to bed early and get up early tomorrow!"
In the early morning, everyone left the uncle's house and came to a mountain forest. They saw the muscles on Drasel's face squirming slightly. The originally delicate and immature face became more mature. There was a trace of vicissitudes between his eyebrows, and there was no trace of it at all. out of its original appearance.
"Okay, from now on, my name will be...um...Muyu, do you understand?"
Luo Cheng, Bailiying and Wu Yong all smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Mu."
Guan Susu and Cui'er also became a little more ordinary under Mother Shen's disguise. Of course, it was just a little bit. It was impossible for beauties like Guan Susu to turn themselves into ugly monsters. of.
But after the facial features were slightly adjusted, at least no one could recognize Guan Susu's identity at a glance.
"Wang... Mr. Mu, what do we do next?"
"Okay! I'll assign the tasks. Our current identity is a free mercenary team from Nanshan City. Mother Shen has been in a large mercenary group. She is familiar with taking tasks and completing them, so she is mainly responsible for task-related tasks. Matter of fact, I am the team leader, the rest are combatants, and our team is called - the Fishless Mercenary Team! Do you understand?"
Guan Susu: "Wuyu... Wuyu, why do you think the name of our mercenary group is weird?"
"I won't accept any rebuttal. We are now a fishless mercenary group. Come on... Young man, for the sake of our blood and our gold coins, let's move forward bravely towards the mercenary union hall. Hahahaha..." De Lacey I rushed forward with excitement on my face, as if accepting the mercenary mission was a sacred mission.
Russell really likes the life of a mercenary in a strange world, it must be very fun.
After paying the entrance fee, we entered Qingshan City.
As expected, Qingshan City is more lively than Nanshan City, and the people coming and going are also different. There are many distant businessmen who are obviously not from Nanshan County. They are wearing beautiful clothes and walking on the street, followed by a lot of bodyguards. At first glance, they look like that
Nouveau riche. These are the Chinese businessmen who travel all over the country.
The Celestial Empire is one of the top three powers in the entire continent, and it is also the richest country. Many small and medium-sized kingdoms hope to establish cooperation with the Celestial Empire to obtain various resources of the Celestial Empire. The Murong family can monopolize the Celestial Empire.
Nearly half of the trade shows its strong strength.
In Nanshan City, you may rarely see large transport convoys, but in Qingshan City, such large convoys are very common, and there are also many city guards around. Russell's first impression of Qingshan City
, not bad, at least much wealthier than Nanshan City. The main reason is, of course, because the Nanshan County branch of Tianrong Trading Company is located in Qingshan City, which naturally attracts a large number of business travelers. This is Nanshan County, a veritable business travel center.
city.
With full of curiosity, Russell said: "Since we are here, let's go find a restaurant and rest first. We have spent a lot of time traveling these past few days. After resting, we will start accepting tasks tomorrow.
.”
Guan Susu and others agreed. After all, it was a bit difficult to travel all night in the past few days. Guan Susu was from Qingshan City and knew Qingshan City well. He took De La Serre and others through the streets and came to a place.
Yuanlai Winery is a relatively quiet restaurant.
"Sir, this Yuanlai Winery is the place with the best environment in Qingshan City. It not only provides all kinds of spiritual food and high-grade exotic animal meat, but also provides a very unique wine - Qingquan Spiritual Liquid. It is said that this wine,
It is brewed using 7 kinds of spiritual food. It is not only fragrant and mellow, but also contains very rich spiritual energy. Long-term drinking can also increase the spiritual power in the body."
Russell: "Oh, that sounds good, worth checking out."
With that said, he led a few people into the wine shop.
The entire Yuanlai Winery covers a large area and is surrounded by wooden houses with an antique flavor. There is a strong smell of wine everywhere, which makes Russell, a person who doesn't like drinking, feel like...
The urge to taste a drink.
After following the boy to a hall and sitting down, Russell smiled and said, "What is the best thing in this winery?"
"Sir, this is a winery. The best thing is of course the wine. The most famous one is of course the clear spring spirit liquid, which is famous far and wide..."
Interrupting the boy's nagging, Russell quickly said: "Then I'll have a pot of Qingquan spiritual liquid, and then 50 kilograms of crazy beef. For the rest, just add some coarse-grain steamed buns and side dishes. Remember to hurry up.
A little."
"Okay! Young one, let's go right away. The guests will wait a moment."
Not long after, many dishes were prepared, and a pot of clear spring spirit liquid was placed in the middle of the table. Drassel picked up the wine pot, opened the lid, and immediately smelled a strong aroma of wine.
Russell was sure that none of the Wuliangye and Maotai in his previous life could compare with it.
"Oh, this wine... is indeed very fragrant and mellow. It's rare." Russell said with admiration on his face. It seems that the wine-making technology in this world is even more exquisite than that in Russell's previous life.
Guan Susu smiled and said: "Sir, this clear spring spirit liquid is brewed from seven kinds of fruits and vegetables containing spiritual energy, combined with a spring water called Bailing Qingquan. It is not only fragrant and mellow, but also the spiritual energy is very warm, making it easier to
Absorption is recognized as the number one wine in Qingshan City. Just this pot costs 15,000 gold coins, but it is a very rare wine."
De La Serre quickly poured a glass for everyone, and then took a sip himself. When the fine wine entered his throat, a sweetness immediately penetrated his heart, like a clear spring in summer, giving him a refreshing feeling of rebirth. De La Serre even
I didn't feel the spiciness of the spirit, only a rich and mellow feeling. It was really a rare wine.
"Good wine! Very good!" Russell drank several glasses of wine at once.
Luo Cheng actually said: "The taste is indeed mellow, but unfortunately, it is not strong enough. I still like the feeling of drinking strong alcohol." Baili Ying and Wu Yong seemed to agree.
This clear spring spirit liquid is indeed very fragrant, and is more suitable for young ladies and gentlemen, such as soldiers like Luo Cheng, who are not used to drinking this kind of wine that is like a drink. However, Drasel was not an alcoholic in his previous life, and preferred this type of fine wine.
Russell: "Brother Luo, don't worry. I believe it won't be long before you can drink the strongest liquor in the world." At this time, Russell suddenly thought that the grains grown in the future could also be used to make wine. As long as
Find a few workers who are proficient in the art of brewing, and use the grown spiritual grains to brew wine. They will definitely be able to brew the legendary jade liquid and nectar. Think about it, and you will be a little excited.
While everyone was feasting on meat and drinking fine wine, another group of uninvited guests walked into Yuanlai Winery. They saw a fat-headed, big-eared, luxuriously dressed young man, leading a group of guards, and walked straight into the hall.
He did not avoid the surrounding diners at all, and even a few passing diners were pushed by this group of reckless people. He was really arrogant and domineering.
Of course, Russell didn't care about these things, after all, it was none of his business. But some people just wanted to come to his door, and Russell didn't even have time to stop them.
I saw the fat-headed and big-eared young man sitting in the corner at a glance, dressed in white plain clothes, gentle and delicate Guan Susu, and walking straight towards Guan Susu.
