Qian Ye never thought that Jiang Yue was trying to trick him, he just thought it was the whims of a mushroom man. It’s no wonder that Qian Ye’s words didn’t sound nice. Based on the reputation of the Mushroom Man in the inner earth world, he is basically the spokesperson of Zhan Wu Zha, taking orders, running errands, and serving elixirs, which is quite appropriate.
As for exploring the surface world and even performing combat missions, that's not enough.
Jiang Yue scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "I made Mr. Qian laugh. Maybe I thought about things too simply."
"Not only is it too simple to think about, it is simply too beautiful to think about."
Jiang Yue was not annoyed at all, he just smiled and said flatteringly: "It has to be Mr. Qian who beats me, otherwise I would really get carried away. Mr. Qian, I have figured it out too. If you can hang out with a big shot like Mr. Qian, you can do whatever you want." Just show me a way, and it will be enough for us to have no worries in this life. Why should I abandon the near and seek the far?"
Qian Ye enjoyed this kind of flattery and nodded with satisfaction: "There are not many people I like, but you are one of them. If you work hard, I will never treat you badly."
While they were talking, the two of them had already reached the busiest section of the market. When it comes to prosperity, the inner earth world is indeed incomparable to the surface world.
But after all, there are still places to go for fun and entertainment.
Jiang Yue naturally had to pretend to be a noob and follow Qian Ye, looking like a qualified follower.
Qian Ye stopped at the door of a building: "This is the one."
This place looked very lively at first glance. As soon as I arrived at the door, I felt that this place was definitely a bustling gold selling cave.
Someone greeted me at the door early, which was roughly similar to the routine in the surface world.
As soon as he entered, the feeling of luxury that hit him made Jiang Yue realize that this place might be more exciting than it looked from the outside.
Jiang Yue was a little puzzled and asked cautiously: "Master Qian, have you been to this place before?"
Qian Ye chuckled: "This is my first time back in this remote country."
"Then why do I feel that you are familiar with this place?" Jiang Yue praised.
"I'm not familiar with this place, but I'm very familiar with where it's fun and where I can have fun."
Jiang Yue seemed to understand and said: "Oh, you are indeed Mr. Qian, he has seen the world. Mushroom people like us usually take a detour when we pass by places like this. We are short of money and feel flustered even if we look at it more than once. "
"Haha, you are sincere. Don't worry, you don't have to pay the bill." Qian Ye patted Jiang Yue's shoulder. It was rare for a boy to get along so well. Qian Ye was very generous and had no intention of asking Jiang Yue to spend money.
Jiang Yue felt ashamed and said, "I should have been the one to curry favor with Master Qian, but instead I made Master Qian spend money."
"Don't be so polite to me, kid." Qian Ye was obviously in a good mood and didn't mind joking with Jiang Yue.
The two quickly entered the lobby on the first floor.
…
Just after the two entered the building, several manor guards followed quietly to the vicinity, and tacitly hid themselves in every corner, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The job of the guard camp was originally to guard the manor, but some elites had to be sent to the market town to protect Qian Ye and Jiang Yue.
The life and death of the mushroom man is not particularly important. But Qian Ye, the representative of Party A, is the confidant of Master Duo of the Baoshu clan, so there is no way anything can go wrong.
If something goes wrong and affects this batch of elixir business, not one of them will have a good life. It’s no wonder these people don’t take it seriously.
In an inconspicuous shop in this busy market, a waiter stood behind the door, looking at the building diagonally opposite with complex eyes. It was also the busiest and most prosperous place in the market, Jiulefang.
The guy murmured in his heart: "That mushroom man looks familiar. He came from the direction of the manor again. Could it be that he is really the mushroom man? Tsk tsk, those two lizard men are offering a reward of one hundred silver coins. I'll go right away. Whether it is or not, it’s always a clue, right?”
The guy finally made up his mind, said hello to the shopkeeper, and hurried away.
After a while, they came to a remote alley. The guy knocked six times on a bluestone slab with a unique technique.
After a while, a corner of a stone slab was opened under the ground, and the man was dragged in.
The guy soon met the two lizardmen.
"You two, you...you want me to pay attention to a group of mushroom people, right?"
When a lizard man heard this, he was overjoyed: "Did you see it? They came to the market?"
The guy was grabbed by the lizard man's neck and struggled quickly: "Hey, you guys are being unreasonable. I came here to inform you out of kindness, what are you doing?"
Another lizard man quickly stopped his companion: "Don't do this, you're scaring people. Who will do anything for us after you do this?"
After the lizard man got over his impulse, he felt that he had overreacted, and he let go of his hand in a sullen voice: "Go on, it's better than you deserve."
The guy was a little displeased: "You are too rude, you scared me."
Another lizard man smiled and said: "Little brother, don't mind. If the information you provide is valid, we are willing to add another hundred silver coins to make amends, for a total of two hundred silver coins. What do you think?"
Two hundred silver coins? This guy's heartbeat was a little accelerated. This is equivalent to more than half a year's salary.
"Are you serious? You didn't trick me, did you?"
The lizard man took out a handful of silver coins: "This is the deposit. No matter whether the information you provide is correct or not, it is yours. If the information is true, the remaining silver coins will definitely be yours."
But the guy was smart: "Pay one hundred silver coins first, and pay the remaining one hundred after you confirm."
The two lizardmen looked at each other and finally compromised.
After paying one hundred silver coins, the man put the coins away with satisfaction.
"I only saw one lizard man accompanying a nobleman from the manor. The manor is Lord Tiger's territory, and there could not have been lizard men in the past. Only a few lizard men were recruited recently. And that lizard man, with you One of the three lizardmen described resembles..."
The guy described the characteristics of the mushroom man transformed by Jiang Yue. As soon as he described it, the lizard man leader's face turned dark: "That's the bastard. He was the one who contradicted me in the guild. This guy is one of those guys. The leader of the mushroom people is very cunning. Why did he leave the manor alone this time? Shouldn't he have two companions? "
The guy chuckled and said, "You don't know this, right? Master Hu's manor employs tens of thousands of workers, and it's impossible to give them all a holiday at once. Master Hu doesn't like his men to come out in groups either. I’m not afraid of anything else, I’m just afraid of them escaping. Therefore, even if there is a group of them, their vacations must be staggered. It is impossible for a group of people to take vacations at the same time.”
With this explanation, the two lizardmen finally understood.
"Where is he now?"
The guy chuckled and said: "Why are you anxious? They just came to the market, they must be here to have fun, and they won't leave in a short time. It doesn't matter if I tell you, they are in Jiulefang. That place is for fun. A good place to have fun, it is the biggest gold-eating beast in our market. No matter how many silver coins you have in your pocket, they can eat them all for you in one night."
The lizard man asked impatiently: "Where is Jiulefang?"
They have been hiding in the dark these days and cannot show off in the market. Therefore, although I am familiar with the route of this market, I don’t know the specific places.
"Jiulefang is diagonally opposite our store, the most magnificent building. By the way, the mushroom man is following a noble man, and that noble man seems to have a lot of background. The mushroom man is like a bitch, treating that noble man Very flattering. Are you sure you are looking for the mushroom man? Not the noble man?"
"Noble?" The lizard people frowned. In their memory, there were only three mushroom people, and they didn't like to form a group with others. They always acted together. How could he be alone, and why should he be followed by some noble person? Where did the noble person come from?
However, after the two lizardmen had gone through so many things, how could they still dare to underestimate their enemy?
"Do you know the noble person you mentioned? Is he someone from the manor?"
The guy shook his head: "He is definitely not from the manor. I think that person's temperament should be from outside, not like a local nobleman. I can guarantee that he is definitely not from the manor. But the owner of the manor, Mr. Hu, is a Guangdong man. A hero who has made friends from all over the world has distinguished guests in his house every day. It is not unusual for a few noble people to come and go."
"Even so, how can you fall in love with a humble mushroom man?"
The guy suddenly seemed to remember something.
"By the way, a few days ago, I heard that a nobleman from the Baoshu tribe passed by the market and entered Master Hu's manor. This group of people never left the manor. Speaking of which, could that nobleman be from the Baoshu tribe? Bar?"
The two lizardmen looked at each other and saw a trace of panic in each other's eyes.
Baoshu tribe?
If it were an ordinary group of people, the lizardmen would really have no fear. But the Baoshu Clan is not an ordinary ethnic group. It is one of the top ten noble groups of the Geocentric Clan. It is an authentic golden ethnic group, superior to others.
No matter how arrogant and domineering the lizard people were, they would not dare to provoke the Baoshu Clan.
Those humble mushroom people could actually curry favor with the Baoshu Clan? How do you say this? No matter how I heard it, I thought this was a bit mysterious.
"Are you sure that's a noble from the Baoshu tribe?" the leader of the lizard people asked in a deep voice.
"Then I definitely can't be sure, I'm just speculating."
"You're not sure what to say?" Another lizard man said displeased.
The guy was even more upset: "Why are you like this? I'm kindly providing information for free. What I charge for is just to tell you that the mushroom man you want me to follow has appeared. Other information is not within the scope of the agreement, right? Why? Do you want me to be sure? If you want me to decide, yes, add money..."
Add money?
Why is this grandson so dark? Do you have such a big appetite?
But in their territory, the two of them really didn't dare to kill anyone and silence them. Who knows if this guy has any accomplices outside?
If you really want to kill people and silence them, it won't be worth it if your body is exposed.
The lizard man leader reassured: "It's not impossible to add more money, but it's still the same old rule. We have to confirm the authenticity of the information before we can cash it in."
The guy curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, I've already told you the mushroom man's movements. If you confirm it later, send the remaining silver coins over, and we'll settle the matter."
He was already satisfied with getting two hundred silver coins. As for confirming the identity of that noble man? It is better to avoid getting involved in such high-risk matters.
The nobles of the Baoshu tribe were not something his little boy could offend. Even a strong man like Mr. Hu would not be able to offend the people of the Baoshu tribe, right?
The two lizardmen finally did not embarrass the guy and let him leave calmly.
They also know about this kind of transaction, so they don't have to worry about their associates betraying them. The guy took the money and provided them with the information, which was tantamount to participating in this shady business.
If he really betrayed them, he himself would not have a good life. After all, those who collude with foreign enemies will definitely be held accountable, even if they confess voluntarily.
What's more, this guy is obviously greedy for money. He will do his best to keep the secret for the remaining silver coins, and even hopes that their operation will succeed so that he can pay the remaining reward.
One of the lizard men said: "Boss, this guy has a slippery tone. I don't think it will be a problem in the future if I don't keep him."
The leader of the lizard men sneered: "For such a small character, I can easily find an opportunity to send him on his way back. At the moment, I just don't want to alert the snake. According to his description, the mushroom man must have left the manor. Most of the people he accompanied were also It has something to do with the elixirs they take care of. If it is the Baoshu Clan, it is easy to understand. Most of the elixirs of the manor owner are supplied to the Baoshu Clan. Don’t forget, the Baoshu Clan is now going to prepare a batch of elixirs. The son of the tree is collecting elixirs everywhere. Unexpectedly, this mushroom man got really lucky and fawned over the Baoshu tribe!"
If the Baoshu Clan really makes it onto the list, even if it doesn't mean they can reach the sky in one step, they will still have a strong backing. With a strong backing, I am afraid that other ethnic groups will not dare to bully these mushroom people like before.
"Boss, if it's really the Baoshu tribe, what will we do? Shouldn't we avenge our brothers? Isn't it just for this reason that we risk staying here?"
The leader of the lizard men said angrily: "Absolutely impossible! We are not afraid of death, so why are we afraid of the Baoshu Clan? Even if it is the Baoshu Clan, we will do the same thing. Besides, it is not confirmed yet that it is the Baoshu Clan. .This time in Jiulefang, it is not the manor’s territory. We just need to kill the mushroom man secretly, steal his silver coins and rough stones, and escape. With our ability to move, even if we alert the owner of the manor, we don’t have to worry about not being able to escape. Their power is very weak in this market. As long as we don't touch that so-called nobleman, we don't have to worry about retaliation."
"I listen to the boss, shall we act now?"
"Without further delay, let's go to that area to investigate. Find out the surrounding security situation, then plan an escape route, and then the final step is to kill with one strike."
The two lizardmen endured the humiliation and hid in the market area for so long. They were as humble as sewer rats. They were waiting for this moment.
They have always believed that those mushroom people will always leave the manor and go to the market to have fun as long as they have a holiday!
