Xia Long's room was empty and very quiet.
Jiang Feng entered the room, closed the door and windows, and drew the curtains.
"Xia Long, don't blame me. I must get the longevity fruit. I will definitely make it up to you in the future."
Jiang Feng started to search in Xia Long's room. He felt that the longevity fruit was in this room. After all, the longevity fruit is very big, as big as a watermelon, so it is impossible to carry it with you. As for something as important as longevity fruit, Xia Long would definitely hide it in his room.
However, the reality was a little beyond Jiang Feng's expectation. He searched carefully but did not find the longevity fruit.
Could it be that the longevity fruit is kept among other chamber members?
No, theoretically speaking, such an important thing must be kept by Xia Long himself.
Jiang Feng started rummaging again. This time, he looked particularly carefully.
After nearly ten minutes of searching and deliberation, Jiang Feng stopped next to a large vase. This vase is about 1.5 meters tall and contains some thick, long-stemmed green plants.
Jiang Feng had found this vase before. He took out all the plants and looked at the bottom of the vase, but it was empty.
Now, Jiang Feng felt more and more suspicious about this vase, because it was the only vase in the room suitable for holding longevity fruit the size of a watermelon.
Jiang Feng looked inside the vase again, but it was still empty.
Jiang Feng picked up a long-stemmed plant and put it into an empty vase. After placing it firmly, Jiang Feng made a mark on the stem with his hand. After that, Jiang Feng took out the plant and placed it vertically on the ground, making it higher than the vase.
After a comparison, Jiang Feng discovered the problem.
In theory, the mark of a plant placed vertically on the ground should be only slightly lower than the mouth of the vase, but it is much lower.
In other words, the depth inside this vase is not as deep as it should be. In other words, there is something wrong with the bottom of the vase.
Jiang Feng tipped the entire vase to the ground and looked at its bottom.
Sure enough, there was a box embedded in the bottom of the vase.
Jiang Feng used force and pulled out the box. This box is neither big nor small, just big enough to hold an ordinary watermelon.
However, this box is made of dark iron, and even the lock on it is also a dark iron lock. With Jiang Feng's brute strength, it was impossible to forcefully break the lock.
But it doesn't matter, Jiang Feng just needs to take the box with him, and then open the box when he returns to Wangcheng.
Just when Jiang Feng was about to pick up the box, someone suddenly hugged Jiang Feng from behind, and a long purple dagger was placed on Jiang Feng's neck.
"Don't move, or your head will fall to the ground." A clear female voice sounded.
"You are..." Jiang Feng recognized this voice. Isn't this the silver-haired woman Bai Shuilan just now?
However, what was even more surprising was that Jiang Feng did not see Bai Shuilan's arms. He could feel himself being locked by the other person, but he couldn't see the other person's arms.
The hilt of the purple dagger didn't have any hands either.
This was something difficult to understand. Jiang Feng could feel someone holding a dagger, but he couldn't see arms and hands from the corner of his eye. The dagger seemed to be hanging in the air, placed on Jiang Feng's neck.
The tip of the purple dagger was glowing with cold light. Jiang Feng could feel that the dagger had cut a small gash in Jiang Feng's neck, and a little blood was flowing down.
Jiang Feng couldn't even use super high speed now, because his body was locked tightly by the opponent, and he couldn't move.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Jiang Feng felt a sense of warmth and body fragrance. It felt as if I was being held tightly by a naked woman.
The warmth and body fragrance are so real.
"Who are you, President Xia? Why can you drive away President Xia? And why do you want to steal President Xia's treasure?" Bai Shuilan asked.
"I'm really President Xia's friend, don't be impulsive."
"You'd better confess honestly, otherwise you're dead." Bai Shuilan exerted a little more force, and the sharp edge of the dagger once again cut a little of Jiang Feng's neck.
"I...I am really President Xia's friend, but I have a reason why I have to steal the longevity fruit."
"You actually know that this treasure box contains longevity fruit?"
"That's right, because Xia Long snatched this longevity fruit from my hand." Jiang Feng started to make it up directly, but his expression and tone were very real, and he was about to start acting again.
"Who are you lying to? I found this longevity fruit. Why did Xia Long snatch it from your hand? Isn't there a word of truth in your mouth? Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" Bai Shuilan said seriously.
Yes, Jiang Feng was stealing the chicken but losing the rice. He made up an excuse and was found out on the spot. It's terrible if this continues. Is Jiang Feng going to die in Bai Shuilan's hands today?
"Girl, calm down. I'll tell you everything. I am Jiang Feng, the lord of Jiang Zhi's forces."
"Are you the leader of Jiang Zhi's forces?"
"Yes, I am." Jiang Feng replied immediately.
Bai Shuilan fell into thinking for a while, because she was no stranger to Jiang Zhi's power. After all, Jiang Zhi's power was the largest power in the land east of the river. In the four provinces in the land of Hedong, except for the forces in the border areas, which have not been included in the Jiangzhi influence, the forces in other places have basically been included in the Jiangzhi influence.
Jiang Zhi's forces are different from other forces. Although they like to do business with the Cross Chamber of Commerce, they are unwilling to give up their population. This has always been a headache for the Cross Chamber of Commerce.
Where to start?
First of all, the Cross Merchant Guild has always had a very good reputation. They make deals with wealthy cities in exchange for various supplies, and then use these supplies to relieve people in distress.
Over time, the Cross Chamber of Commerce was crowned as the richest chamber of commerce in the world, rich enough to benefit the world. Therefore, the Cross Chamber of Commerce has a great reputation and is widely spread in the Yanhuang Land. The popular Cross Chamber of Commerce is growing in size and has more and more believers.
There is a small group of people in Wangcheng who may have had enough of the too comfortable life in the city and are beginning to yearn for a life of traveling around the world, so they want to join the Cross Chamber of Commerce. However, Jiang Zhi's forces did not allow the Cross Chamber of Commerce to enter Wangcheng, and only allowed the Cross Chamber of Commerce to do business in the affiliated town. This led to a problem. People in Wangcheng could not contact the Cross Chamber of Commerce, and naturally they could not join the Cross Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, the Cross Chamber of Commerce has always had a headache about this matter. Jiang Zhi's forces do not allow the Cross Chamber of Commerce to carry out missionary activities. They also do not allow the Cross Chamber of Commerce to contact civilians. Those who want to join the Chamber of Commerce have no way to join. Even if the Cross Chamber of Commerce offers high prices to those who are willing to leave Wangcheng, Wangcheng's senior officials will not be moved.
But today, Bai Shuilan was lucky enough to catch Jiang Feng.
To some extent, Whitewater now faces a major choice dilemma. And she didn't know the answer to this problem at all.
First of all, she didn't know what the senior officials of the Cross Chamber of Commerce would think.
Are you letting Jiang Feng go and selling a favor? In this way, we can win the business of "human trafficking" in the future.
Or should we catch Jiang Feng, threaten Jiang Feng, and force him to agree to the "human trafficking" business.
what to do?
Now that Xia Long is away, Bai Shuilan alone cannot make a decision.
Bai Shuilan thought about it and felt that she had no way to make the decision, so she could only continue to control Jiang Feng and wait for Xia Long to come back.
In this way, Bai Shuilan has been holding Jiang Feng and controlling Jiang Feng. Unknowingly, more than ten minutes passed.
Jiang Feng's face gradually turned pale, which seemed to be an anemia reaction caused by excessive bleeding.
Seeing that Bai Shuilan had not moved or spoken, Jiang Feng guessed Bai Shuilan's purpose. She probably wanted to wait for Xia Long to come back before making a decision. In other words, she would not kill Jiang Feng now.
In this case, Jiang Feng wanted to try to open up the situation through chatting.
"Girl, can you open the edge of the knife a little bit? You are pressing on my blood vessels and it is difficult for them to clot. If you continue, I may die." Jiang Feng deliberately spoke with a weak emphasis.
"Don't try to cheat." Bai Shuilan was very wary.
"Seriously, I'm pale now."
"I can't see it, don't lie to me."
"It's true, can you just pull away a little? Just a little."
Bai Shuilan hesitated for a while, thinking that Jiang Feng could not die, so she slowly pulled away a little.
After pulling away a little, Jiang Feng's blood gradually began to coagulate, and his blood flow became less and less. His life was not in danger for the time being.
After a while, Jiang Feng asked again: "Why do you keep doing it? Can't you ask others to come up? You can let them control me."
"This room is very well soundproofed, has a high floor, and is located relatively inside. In addition, you have locked all the doors and windows, so no one can hear me even if I shout. Moreover, you are a master. If I shout, you will follow the instructions The change in my aura revealed a flaw in me for a moment. I know you know about super speed, so I must concentrate my attention, so that you won't take advantage of it."
"Awesome, no wonder you speak in such a low voice. It turns out you are focusing on your hands. But are you really not tired? I can feel the fragrance of your sweat."
"..." Bai Shuilan didn't answer, as if he was a little embarrassed because he was right.
What Jiang Feng said was true. Although Bai Shuilan didn't move at all, his arm muscles were always ready. Once Jiang Feng made a move, he would wipe out his neck with one knife. So Bai Shuilan was actually very tired, and because he was clinging to Jiang Feng, he couldn't help but sweat.
But Bai Shuilan's body smells very good, and even the sweat she sheds has a slight scent of sweat.
This intoxicating smell numbed Jiang Feng's nerves, and it had to be said that Jiang Feng's heart beat a little uncontrollably. This is not love or emotion, it is just a simple physiological reaction between a man and a woman who are too close. What's more important is that Bai Shuilan seems to have a similar feeling. It's the first time she has been with a man for so long.
In order to dispel the lust in his heart, Jiang Feng continued to ask: "Can you answer me? Is your power invisibility?"
"Did you finally find out?"
"I found out a long time ago, I'm just asking you now."
"So what?"
"This invisibility ability can't make clothes invisible, right? I found a black cloak, black shirt, and black pants under Xia Long's bed before. I didn't pay attention to it at the time. But now I completely understand that you may have been Hidden under the bed and waited for me. After you found out that I was coming, you took off your clothes and became invisible, right?" Jiang Feng asked.
