Chapter Thirty-Five: Entering Liancheng for the First Time
Update time:2012-02-13
"what to do?"
He turned around and came back to ask Yue Cang Qiong. (·~)
"Then take your things to Liancheng and meet that fifth brother Renyi."
Yue Cangqiong remained calm, but already had some concerns in his mind. The two of them turned back and brought back a long baggage.
When Tong'er saw it, she couldn't help but ask: "What is that?"
The two of them said in unison: "Don't know?"
This was so confusing that even Su Yanzi in the car couldn't help but be surprised. She stuck her head out and said, "What did you do out there?"
Yue Cangqiong said: "I just met someone asking for help. He is already dying, but he asked us to deliver something. Since we have been entrusted by someone, we can't open it and look at it casually, so we can only do it out of greed."
After they got into the car and urged Tong'er to catch the car, the four people in the group looked at the baggage, but they didn't know what was in it.
Su Yanzi guessed: "Could it be antique calligraphy and painting? If it wasn't priceless, how could it be so precious?"
Sikong Chen said: "Don't bother guessing what it is. According to the rules of our killers, we will never ask about the victim's body."
Yue Cangqiong smiled and said: "So even if we accept a mission, let's see what the outcome of this trip will be?"
In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the city gate. Yue Cang Qiong and several people got off the car and found that this place was really different. Almost all the warriors with extraordinary skills gathered in the huge square, some were in groups, some were dressed unusually, and from time to time someone would
Come out to report the mission, and post the reward list on two long rows of notice boards.
Sikong Chen walked up to the notice board and took a look at it, then made some inquiries with a few strangers, turned around and said to the three of them: "What a coincidence, the person in charge of sitting here today is the fifth brother Renyi, the protector of Han Clan.
, it seems that we can just hand the things over to him."
"Fifth Brother Renyi? This man must be very righteous. Lao Chen, have you ever dealt with him before?"
“I have taken over two tasks from him, and he was very generous in paying me. I have not had much contact with him in private.[~]”
Sikong Chen glanced at the notice board angrily a few more times and said, "Why don't Tong'er go and park the car at the inn first, let's go and send the things away, and then I'll see if I can take on one or two tasks?"
"
Yue Cangqiong also walked over to the notice board and took a look at it. Most of the posts posted on it were about enemies that a certain sect offered rewards for arrest, or someone paid to hire bodyguards, and there were even some weird pleas. Most of the people posting rewards were five or five.
Under a hundred silver coins.
"It seems that the reward of silver is not that much!" Yue Cangqiong shook his head and sighed, as if he felt that it was not satisfying enough.
Sikong Chen walked with him and said: "The ones outside are only low-level tasks. Only those with higher levels can enter the inner hall to take over more difficult tasks. Do you think anyone can be a killer?"
?”
"I've always heard you say that you are the number one killer in the Southern Continent. You should be considered a big shot here. Why don't you see anyone coming to worship you?"
Yue Cangqiong teased him and said.
"Nonsense, top killers like us are secretive. Besides, not all the people in the square are killers. They are more or less second- and third-rate villains who come to earn bounties to make a living. The real killers are all secretly in the inner court.
Show up.”
After walking into the gate at the end of the square, Sikong Chen suddenly took out a mask from his pocket and put it on his face, but it had an ugly grimace. Then he handed another one to Yue Cangqiong: "You don't want to be recognized, you
Bring it with you quickly."
Yue Cangqiong did as he was told, and the two of them put on masks. Someone at the door checked the mark on Sikong Chen's hand, handed them two cloaks to cover their bodies, and then walked into the inner courtyard.
At this time, there were seven or eight people sitting inside who were also wearing masks and cloaks. In the middle was a burly man, holding a scroll in his hand and announcing the mission: "Level B mission, kill an elder of the Hundred Beasts Hall, reward 20,000 yuan."
Silver coins, plus a first-class fire dragon colt."
Several people in the audience were silent and seemed to have little interest in this task. In the end, no one took over.
The man unfolded another scroll and said: "Level B mission, the young leader of the Coyote Gang was kidnapped, the hostage was redeemed, the reward was 30,000 silver coins, and a VIP token of the Coyote Gang was attached. [~]"
Someone in the audience finally raised his hand and said, "We can consider increasing the reward to 35,000 yuan."
The man waved to a younger brother, whispered a few words to him, and then put the scroll aside, as if waiting for his employer's reply.
At this time, a receptionist came over and asked the two of them to sit down. Sikong Chen said to the man: "I have something important to do and I need to see Brother Renyi. Is it convenient? It was You Laoqi who asked us to come."
The other party nodded when he heard You Laoqi's name and took Sikong Chen to the back. Yue Cangqiong sat down and continued to wait.
Then a younger brother came back to summon the message, and the bounty was finally sold for three to five thousand silver coins. Then the burly man announced the mission again, but this time the content made Yue Cangqiong's heart move: "Tai Xuan Sect Collection Order, kill the monsters outside the territory, reward
The gold is 20,000 silver coins per day, and there is also a quota for Taixuan Sect's younger brothers."
Taixuanmen?
I once heard my master say that it was one of the best sects in the North Continent and was strong enough to compete with the Jingji Sect. If I could build a relationship with the Taixuan Sect, it might be of great help to regain control of the Jingji Sect in the future, so I stood up and raised my hand:
"I'll take on this mission."
As soon as these words came out, the other masked people were stunned, and the eyes under the masks seemed to be looking at him. The Taixuan Sect would distribute recruitment orders everywhere almost every year, recruiting disciples in the name of killing monsters.
.
This is a reward in name, but in fact it is a trial, because this assessment has to go through seven or forty-nine days of testing. During this period, you will encounter various monsters and beasts, which can be said to be extremely dangerous. Ordinary warriors who have not reached the ninth level of martial arts usually dare not
participate.
Yue Cangqiong accepted the reward without even thinking about it, which made several people present suspect that he was a newcomer. The burly man put away the scroll and said: "Okay, please come to the back and prepare to register."
He got up and went to the inner room with the other party. Halfway there, a man came over and said hurriedly: "Fifth brother asked me to invite this friend to come over and talk in detail."
When Yue Cangqiong heard this, he thought to himself that it was not easy for Sikong Chen to send something and the other party wanted to thank him, so he followed the visitor to another place and walked through the corridor to a large room. Before he entered the door, he heard an upright voice.
The voice laughed and said: "Easy to say, brother sent this treasure back just to give it to the poor family. I will never forget it, Fifth Brother."
I thought that this man's internal energy was very strong, and he was probably at the sixth or seventh level of martial arts. When he entered, he saw a red-haired man with an unruly face, talking to Sikong Chen.
But on the table next to the two of them was an antique xylophone. Judging by its length, it seemed like something the two of them had brought back. Could it be that this was what You Laoqi desperately asked to bring back?
Yue Cangqiong entered the room, and the subordinate who led the man hurriedly informed the red-haired man: "Fifth brother, I have brought this man."
Fifth Brother nodded, waved his hand to let the other person leave, then came over and pulled Yue Cangqiong to sit in front of the table: "Come on, come on, Fifth Brother is about to thank you, but I don't know what is this brother's name?"
"I am an unknown person, fifth brother can be called Xiao Yue."
Yue Cangqiong did not reveal his real name and only mentioned a surname casually.
The fifth brother didn't care and laughed: "Brother doesn't want to reveal it, so he must have something he can't tell, so it doesn't matter."
Sikong Chen said at this time: "Fifth brother, we have delivered the things. If there is nothing else, I still want to try to pick up one or two tasks. Why don't we say goodbye now."
Fifth brother Renyi nodded: "That's right. Fifth brother won't leave you to chat. It's just that I just heard about this brother's next recruitment order from Taixuan Sect, but I have to say something."
"The Taixuanmen's recruitment order is really not easy to chew. Anyone who has been in the industry for a long time knows that the idle people will never come back. It's just that our poor family is hindered by Taixuanmen's
Miancai releases tasks as usual every year, but in fact very few people have participated in these years, so brother, you should think twice."
The implication is that due to the favor of the two people escorting the things, they were unwilling to cross the sky to pick up the hot potato.
Yue Cangqiong cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Fifth brother is serious. Since I have accepted the task, there is a reason why I have to go. In short, Xiao Yue will bear in mind fifth brother's wishes."
The fifth brother Renyi was stunned when he heard this. He saw that this young man seemed to be full of confidence. Could it be that he really had other intentions? Next to him, Sikong Chen heard that Yue Cangqiong had taken on such a difficult task. He couldn't help but frown secretly, but in front of the fifth brother
, had no choice but to smile helplessly: "This brother of mine is stubborn, fifth brother, you can't persuade him."
"No!" Renyi's fifth brother waved his hand and said, "It is indeed a good thing for young people to have courage and confidence, but fifth brother is worrying too much."
"In this way," he said after thinking about it, "I will tell my subordinates to look for it again to see if there are any other tasks suitable for the two brothers, and then Brother Xiao Yue will consider it again."
Yue Cangqiong saw that the benevolent and righteous fifth brother was warm-hearted and did not seem to be cheating, so he raised his hands and said, "Fifth brother, don't worry about it. If fifth brother really feels sorry for you, but I have a merciless request, I hope that fifth brother will fulfill it."
"Say it!" Fifth Brother nodded and signaled Yue Cangqiong to speak up.
Yue Cangqiong stretched out his hand and pointed at the xylophone on the table, and asked seriously: "To be honest, after receiving this thing, although I was very curious, I never opened the bag and looked at the contents inside. I am just a loyal person."
I don’t dare to make any mistakes. If Fifth Brother finds it convenient, can you tell me the origin of this guqin? Is it so precious that someone wants to rob it?"
These words clearly touched on Hanmen's secrets. Sikong Chen winked at him repeatedly, but Yue Cangqiong turned a blind eye. There was a treasure in front of him, and Yue Cangqiong couldn't stand it if he let him go without even knowing its origin.
The fifth brother, Renyi, stretched out his hand to touch the pattern on the guqin and said meaningfully: "Originally, I shouldn't have told the two brothers about this matter. It was not because of the fifth brother or me hiding something secret. It just involved a major event within the humble family.
It is not convenient for outsiders to tell it. All I can say is that this harp is an extraordinary magic weapon with magical powers that can steal people's souls. It is difficult for ordinary people to control it. If it falls into the wrong hands, it will cause disaster."
Divine weapon!
Hearing this word, Yue Cangqiong suddenly remembered that his master once mentioned to him that there are three things for a warrior: a treasure, a magic weapon, a chariot, and a beast to control.
With the infinitely powerful magic weapon that suits you, you can conquer all directions and dominate for a while.
However, magic weapons are not easy to come by, just like the best beasts and chariots are hard to come by.
Therefore, warriors across the continent are flocking to it.
Unexpectedly, he saw another magical weapon. Yue Cangqiong almost regretted not taking this thing as his own, but he didn't know how it would compare with the Baiji Divine Spear in his hand.
