Chapter 382 Cloud Rest Day
Qin Kai, who was wearing jet black armor, glanced at Ji Rentu subconsciously. Seeing the bald man's "eyes to nose, nose to mouth, mouth to heart" look, he could only respond:
"I obey!"
"I am willing to assist Qin Da together!" Ji Rentu followed.
The Lord Commander saw the reaction of the two people in his eyes, and did not pay attention to the little tricks between the two.
"General Ji, where do you think we can find this young scholar?" Qin Kai opened his mouth and asked as soon as the two of them walked out of the governor's house.
"Haha, General Qin can make arrangements for this matter. Mr. Ji will listen to you!" Ji Rentu touched his bald head and said with a smile.
Qin Kai was speechless. He really didn't understand why the man in front of him acted so carefully. After all, he and the county magistrate are brothers, but since the last plan to persuade Chunfeng Town to surrender failed, he seems to have changed his temper and does not want to show his face in everything.
Just like when the governor asked to arrest the young scholar, Ji Rentu only intervened in the matter after Qin Kai agreed.
But he didn't think about anything else. After all, he was in Luoye City now. The group of six gates under the armored man were naturally more familiar with the situation in the city here.
The two of them just stood at the door of the governor's house, like two door gods. When the officers and soldiers who knew them saw them, they took the initiative to avoid them.
Not long after, a black-armored soldier walked quickly towards Qin Kai and stopped two feet away from the man.
"General, please give the order!"
Qin Kai said calmly: "Assist the Shahe Gang and try our best to find the young scholar!"
"No! I obey!" The soldier bowed and responded, then turned and left.
"Brother Rentu, let's go have a drink on a cold day. It will always take some time to find this person." Qin Kai asked with a smile.
The bald man smacked his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I heard that Zuixianju has a lot of good wine. Come and try it?"
Just as the two of them were heading towards the restaurant called "Zui Xian Ju", a pair of black-armored soldiers organized a search. Before that, Yin Shisan had ordered a painter to draw a portrait of the young scholar. According to the Feng Chen The description of the woman does bear some resemblance to the young man in the painting.
Pairs of soldiers were under constant investigation at various major hospitals. Anyone who looked similar would be taken away for questioning.
As the person in charge, Helian Haixin was unaware of the incident at this time. He had no idea that his encounter with a prostitute would trigger such a large-scale search in Luoye City.
At this time, the young scholar was bidding at the Chengdong Auction House. The place where he was at this time was the Sifang Palace of the auction house!
Luoye City Auction House is divided into three pavilions and one hall according to the division of labor, namely: Sihai Pavilion, Xuanbing Pavilion, Tianji Pavilion, and Sifang Palace.
I think it was Yi Xifeng who took the picture of the Jade Drunken Immortal Gourd in Sihai Pavilion, and Zhang Yanshi got the whereabouts of Ji Rentu from Tianji Pavilion.
This Sifang Hall is quite special. The exhibits here are all open-photographed. Compared with the other three pavilions, there are fewer opportunities to pick things up, but naturally everything here is of high quality.
As the young boss of the Helian family, Helian Haixin has not to mention his own pockets. The minimum denomination is five hundred taels, and the large denomination banknotes are enough for one hundred taels of gold, which is ten thousand miles of silver. !
"This four-color hydrangea from the Far East Kingdom, five hundred taels once! Five hundred taels the second time! Five hundred taels the third time!"
"The deal is done! Congratulations to the VIP room No. 3 on the second floor!" the treasure appraiser on the stage said jovially.
As for Helian Haixin, who was sitting in the VIP room No. 3, he looked very proud. Five hundred taels was nothing to a young scholar, but buying a handful of them had no practical effect. It was just because of the beautiful hydrangeas, so it was still a bit of a luxury.
You know, at the current price, fifty taels of silver can solve the food and clothing problem of a civilian family for half a year, and can also meet the military salary of a well-equipped black-armored cavalry for one month. If it were not in Luoye City, it would be a county. In other small places inside, fifty taels is enough to build a one-bedroom cabin.
Therefore, although this four-color hydrangea is extremely rare, the price of five hundred taels was still beyond the auction estimate.
The bouquet was soon brought up on a tray by the maid. The maid was an oval-faced girl, wearing a ribbon-cut cheongsam that showed off her beautiful figure to the fullest.
"Sir, this is your thing." The maid lowered her body and whispered softly. The moment she bent down and squatted down, she revealed a touch of charm on the girl's neck, but the young scholar in front of her was not moved at all.
The auction house is a place where the poor love the rich. Naturally, it is full of all kinds of shady transactions. If any powerful buyer likes the maids here, as long as the price is agreed upon by both parties, they can recommend themselves to provide pillow mats and warm beds. Not uncommon either.
This maid saw that Helian Haixin had made a lot of money and was handsome, so she intentionally or unintentionally revealed her career line. However, this man was sitting there like an iron bodhisattva, his eyes not even glancing at himself.
…
Qin Kai looked at the guests on this floor of the restaurant and quickly left. He was a little satisfied with the sensibleness of the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou. Soon, jars of fine wine were brought up, eighteen jars in total.
"General Qin, do you think drinking wine can increase your internal energy?" Ji Rentu looked at the jars of wine beside him and asked.
The armored man stood the iron halberd he carried with him at the table. When he heard the other party's question, he naturally thought of the three gambling fights in Chunfeng Town three months ago.
Needless to say, Li Chengqian's level of strength is probably only comparable to that of the Commander-in-Chief. Qin Kai tried his best that day, using his double-painted tiger and the "Tiger Split Encirclement", but he was still defeated by the opponent's "Eight Dragons and Seven Wounds Fist"!
Thinking about it now, Qin Kai felt lucky that he could save his life. Of course, the person he should be grateful for the most is still himself. If he hadn't been wearing this "Black Cloud Golden Armor" at that time, he would have been beaten to death on the spot.
"That Li Chengqian, it's hard to say, but the fair boy who took action in the second game is still as strong as a warrior in the chivalrous realm. Seeing that he is carrying a wine gourd behind him, it should be related to the drinking!" The armored man thought for a while and answered. road.
Ji Rentu picked up a jar, patted the mud sealing off the mouth of the jar and drank.
The two of them deliberately did not use their inner strength to suppress the alcohol, but allowed it to run rampant in their bodies. Both sides of his stomach were slightly red, and his cheeks were a little red.
At this moment, a black-armored soldier came up from downstairs. Judging from his attire, he should be a six-door man.
"Sir, the target's whereabouts have been found!"
"Oh? Are you invited?" Qin Kai asked with a smile.
The man paused and said in a deep voice: "We have only determined its general location and have not made contact with it yet, so we came here to ask for instructions." As he said this, sweat began to break out on the man's forehead.
Qin Kai hummed softly and said to Ji Rentu, who was sitting opposite him and drank heavily, "Let's go drink somewhere else!"
After saying that, the two of them put down the wine jars in their hands and disappeared from the second floor of the restaurant. No one could see the traces of their actions.
…………Dividing line…………
A huge horse galloped forward slowly on the official road leading to Luoye City. The carriage was built extremely solidly, and even the plywood on the roof was much thicker than an ordinary carriage. Correspondingly, the horses pulling the cart are also different.
At the front of the carriage, there were four large curly horses lined up. These horses looked much taller than ordinary horses, especially their four hooves, which were extremely thick. This horse's name is "Curly-Haired Smoke Swallowing Beast" and it comes from the Demon Kingdom. It is a rare and rare horse.
The individual itself is larger than an ordinary horse, and it is also much more powerful and has better endurance.
On both sides of the carriage, there were also several people following.
The two riders walking in the front of the car were Li Chengqian, who was wearing a black cloak, and Li Chengtao, who was wearing a white jumpsuit with a hood. The horses they sat down on were both bright maroon horses.
In the middle of the team, there are also two riders, namely Qingzhu and Venomous Bee. As two deputy captains of the mountain patrol team, there is nothing wrong with being casual. It can also be seen from this that the mountain patrol team also used all its strength for this banquet.
At the end of the team, there was another rider following him, who turned out to be an old man. If Lin Fenghuo were here, he would have recognized him at a glance. It was Lu Jian, the white ape who defeated Helian Tiexin with one blow at Queshan Camp that day. At the same time, this old man has another identity, Lu Huahua's grandfather.
At this time, Lin Hengshan's voice came from the carriage, "Lao Lu, come to the carriage."
Everyone knew that these words were addressed to White Ape, but the old man's temperament was really "smelly and tough". He replied calmly: "General, my duty is to serve as a posthumous officer, so I'm sorry that I can't get in the car."
After hearing this, Lin Hengshan didn't reply. Qingzhu on the side immediately raised his hands and said, "Sir, there is a hill in front of you. I'll go check it out first." After saying that, he winked at the poisonous bee and then looked towards the person in front of him. The small slope of soil galloped away.
Lin Hengshan, who was sitting in the car, glanced at the chessboard in front of him with some boredom, and had no choice but to pick up another sunspot and drop it on it. Fortunately, this carriage is extremely heavy, so it is very smooth when walking on the road. Even if someone is playing chess on it, it will not have any impact.
In fact, the reason why Lin Hengshan asked Bai Yuan to sit in the car just now was not because he had any special tasks to give him, but because he simply wanted him to play chess with him.
At first on the road, Bai Yuan was deceived several times, but was naturally killed to pieces. After all, the old man was once the famous national Go player of Luo Yun Kingdom, so Lu Jian was naturally no match.
Several other people were also abused by him, so in the end, whenever Lin Heng came up to talk to him, no one got on the bus to challenge him.
Just now, Qingzhu took advantage of the investigation and went to that inconspicuous small slope just to avoid this incident.
Lin Hengshan himself was holding a black and a white piece of money in the car, and he got off. He did not call Li Chengqian or Li Chengtao again, because he knew that these two people were the protective umbrella of this trip. He could secretly vent his anger on Lu Jian and Qingzhu. After all, it would not have much impact on the overall situation, but the two Li brothers were completely different. .
"Sir, if we walk another thirty miles, we will reach Luoye City." Li Chengtao, the leader, said calmly.
"Well, keep the speed." After a while, a voice came from the car.
"Then, shall we stay out for the night tonight, or shall we enter the city in the evening?" Li Chengqian, a middle-aged man, asked seriously.
"Now that you're here, let's go into the city. Those who stay in the wilderness can easily be taken advantage of by other forces."
Almost a day has passed since the group left Yinren Town.
According to the original plan, they entered the city on the second day. However, in just this short day, they faced seven battles. Although most of the battles were fleeting quick attacks, it was not because the enemy was not prepared enough, but because the people around them were too strong.
There are all strong warriors in the chivalrous realm, and the weakest among them is the poisonous bee of the mountain patrol team's action team.
You know, although Venomous Bee is a woman, as the captain of the action team, her own strength is terrifying. That is a warrior who can fight against Madam Lu for a long time, and he has many years of assassination experience.
Therefore, don't underestimate these six people. Even if Ji Rentu brings two thousand black-armored cavalry and is equipped with magic-breaking crossbows, the six of them will not be cowed at all!
…
When He Lianhai came out of Sihai Palace with satisfaction, he suddenly felt that his previous experience in Shiba Hutong was not so bad.
I have to say that this auction house is indeed a good place. Not only does it have many treasures, but it also has a lot of information. For example, this time he took a photo worth three thousand taels.
Some time ago, Ji Shenfu applied to the Luo Yun Kingdom court for two thousand magic-breaking crossbows to clear out the remnants of the previous dynasty in the county! There is an inconspicuous clue mixed in, which is how the Lord Commander discovered these remnants of the previous dynasty.
It was a reward from Ji Rentu, or it stemmed from Ji Rentu's previous failure in the battle against Yinren.
"A remnant of the previous dynasty? Or are you taking this opportunity as an excuse for losing the war? It seems that there is something fishy about this matter." The young scholar muttered to himself as he walked out of the auction house.
But before he could think about it, two powerful internal energy surrounding him surrounded him and locked him.
The young scholar raised his head and looked around, seeing the groups of black-armored soldiers. They had already surrounded the place completely, and black-armored soldiers holding magic-breaking crossbows could be seen from the commanding heights of every rooftop.
Then, he turned his attention to the source of the two powerful auras.
This is Qin Kai and Ji Rentu standing on the second floor terrace not far away.
Helian Haixin smiled and strode towards the terrace. It was not far away. After walking a few steps, the young man jumped up and stood at the edge of the terrace.
"I've heard about Helian Haixin for a long time, and today I finally meet him!" Qin Kai and Ji Rentu were sitting on the terrace at this time, with a large jar of wine beside them.
Helian Haixin came to Luoye County to investigate this time, so he naturally knew something about the strong men in Luoye City, and the two people in front of him could be regarded as the strongest men in the entire Luoye County.
The young scholar raised his hands and said: "Junior Hai Xin, I have seen people slaughtered with bloody hands, and tigers killed by iron walls and stone!"
"Blood Hand" is Ji Rentu's chivalrous name, and "Shihu" is naturally Qin Kai's chivalrous name.
Qin Kai cupped his hands and smiled, shouting: "We are guests from afar. Brother Haixin, would you like some drinks?"
Helian Tiexin was stunned by this question, but before he could shirk it, Ji Rentu on the side didn't dare anymore and shouted: "General Qin, what do you mean? This is our wine, why should we invite him to drink it?" ? Besides, there are too many people in this world who are seeking fame and fame. This so-called young talent, maybe...hehe."
As he said that, the bald man stood up unsteadily, and said with a strange smile to the young scholar: "Boy, I don't care who you are? If you want to drink my Ji Rentu's wine, you must first ask me if I will agree with this fist!"
After saying that, without waiting for Helian Haixin to respond, he punched the opponent.
