On the other side, after being clearly rejected by Ming Xue, France Lee reluctantly stared at the backs of the two women for a while, then picked up his suitcase and found a taxi.
"Take me to the Nuanyang processing factory on the outskirts of the city." He took out a fifty-cent banknote and said.
The issuance of banknotes by the Daxia government has only started in recent years, but it is only recognized in the nine states of the Central Plains. In remote areas like Ganzhou, it can barely be used by state governments.
Because there are shops and workshops opened by the imperial court in Zhangye, the prefecture's capital, that specialize in collecting this kind of banknotes.
But even so, due to the inconvenience of exchange, it was also disliked.
The carriage driver was a middle-aged man in his forties. He didn't want to accept the official banknotes from the imperial court, but the price of fifty coins was quite a premium, so after thinking about it, he decided to do the business.
Soon, the carriage started and traveled through the streets.
France was sitting in the car, admiring the street scene and thinking regretfully:
"The beauty of that woman is the only one I have ever seen in my life. Not even the true descendants of the Flower God Sect can compare with her... It's a pity that I couldn't ask her name...
"Hey, if I didn't still have a mission, I would definitely use various means to capture him and become a member of my 'Hundred Flowers'."
"But the girl named Mingxue is not simple. Although I did not use the 'Evil Flower', I also let go of the side effects caused by this magical power, and she was able to remain indifferent...
“Perhaps we should use the sect’s power to investigate?
"Forget it. If Zhen Niang and Xiu Niang find out, they will definitely be jealous."
While Frans was thinking wildly, the carriage had already driven out of the city and arrived in front of a factory where many warm sunwood trees were stacked.
Only then did France recover his thoughts, then sent the carriage away, and showed his identity token to the factory security.
Soon, the person in charge of the factory ran out with a smile on his face and welcomed him into a luxurious office.
"Deacon Li, we have preliminary investigation results for the tasks assigned by the sect before..." The person in charge handed over a stack of documents and reported respectfully, "As the sect elders calculated, Yunzhou is about to have 'Qiong' The news of the discovery of the ruins of the Hua lineage first came from Ganzhou.
"To be more precise, it's Yumen County."
France took the document and glanced at it a few times, then said casually: "The sect attaches great importance to the leakage of the ruins information, and asked me to find out the root cause...
"Do you have any suspicions?"
If the sect really took it seriously, it wouldn't let you, a Thai and Western libertine, come to investigate! The person in charge cursed, but on the surface he took the initiative to open a page on the pile of information and introduced:
"The most suspicious thing is a female monk code-named 'Black Cat'. She has sold or shared relevant information at many gatherings in Yumen. The earliest source we can trace is her."
"Do you have any specific information about her?" France asked.
"We secretly captured a monk code-named 'Shadow'. He and the 'Black Cat' have intersections in many gathering circles, so we can roughly judge that the 'Black Cat's' cultivation level is above the third level of mana. Various They are all well-informed, and they are not keen on the practice of martial arts and natal magic. They are suspected of having a deep background and a complete inheritance."
At this point, the person in charge paused, turned to another page, and continued, "So we suspect that she is either a female cultivator from the Li family or the Li family's in-laws, or one of those who are famous in the Yumen area. Heroine.”
Famous heroines... France picked up the page of information with great interest and saw that there were more than a dozen names and related information recorded in it, and Yan Hongxia, Gong Yun, Gong Fei, Feng Wan, etc. were all listed. It's just that the level of suspicion is relatively low.
France thought while reading, then picked up the pen and added a name at the end of the page, and ordered: "This person is also very suspicious. Find out all her information for me."
When the person in charge heard this, he saw the words "Duan Mingxue" written crookedly on the paper.
…
After Zhao Chen said goodbye to his three temporary travel companions, he went to the "Haifeng Tower", the best inn near the station, according to the "Zhangye Guide" he had prepared long ago, ordered the most sumptuous banquet, and enjoyed it thoroughly.
The banquet was carefully cooked by the chef of Haifenglou, and the aroma was fragrant. There was also a "spicy fried clam" that is rare in the Western Regions.
In the single room, Zhao Chen was eating happily when he felt a fragrant breeze coming, and then the heroic and beautiful Zheng Qingyan appeared next to him.
Haifeng Building is the property of the Zheng family, so Zhao Chen was not surprised that she came to see him so quickly. He smiled and said hello: "You're here just in time, let's have something to eat together?"
Zheng Qingyan just sat down quietly, then peeled open a clam with her own hands, and put the clam meat into Zhao Chen's mouth, while she licked her oily fingers and said expressionlessly: "It's not too fresh, so forget it. "
It would be nice to be able to eat seafood in the Western Regions. If you want fresh food, you have to use "time" magical powers to keep it in condition, or use "space" magical powers to directly transport it. The cost is too high.
In addition, Qingyan, do you know that your current appearance is quite "attractive"? Aren't you afraid that I can't control it?
Seeing Zheng Qingyan licking her fingers, Zhao Chen swallowed and said without much thought:
"After the Wuyou Cave incident is completely resolved, we can 'import' seafood from there and sell it in the Western Region. After all, Wuyou Mountain is not far from the sea."
"It's still one month until the next mission... now it's only more than three weeks." Zheng Qingyan replied simply, with a smile in her eyes, and then she peeled the clam meat for Zhao Chen again and said lightly, " Chu Yuan returned to Zhangye one day before you and had already reported to Li Yunfeng about Master Jiewen's 'Xuan Tan'...
"So as long as you show your sign in Zhangye, I'm afraid he will come to you soon and help you introduce the young master of the Li family."
"Is Mr. Li so anxious? You don't want to find anyone to inquire about it anymore?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and accepted Qingyan's feeding.
"Because you offended me before, the remnants of the 'Xinguang Temple' were found among the disciples, and in addition, I hired someone to assassinate you... Li Yunfeng is actually in a very bad situation now, and he urgently needs achievements to consolidate his position.
"After all, his biggest backer, the head of the Li family, Li Fuchen, has not yet been mentioned, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and he is also suspected by many clan members of colluding with the 'God of Misfortune'.
"And if we can unlock the 'Great Way Text' in the family's fundamental skills and allow the Li family to master the true 'Five Emperors Chaozhen' supernatural power, it will definitely be a great achievement."
Zheng Qingyan just took the paper and wiped her hands this time, and did not continue to seduce Zhao Chen. After all, if "something happened" really happened, although she didn't mind much, she would not be able to explain to the Zheng family, and she would not care about Zhao Chen when the time came. good.
