There is a saying in Liyue that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
When the head of the Black Mountain Tiger proudly patted Lin Ye on the shoulder and wanted to give him the nickname "Big Sword Tiger", Lin Ye showed the humility a subordinate should have and politely refused.
Some treasure-thief groups are simply bandits occupying the hills.
Except for a few treasure thieves who really have ideals and seek secret treasures, most of the members of the treasure thieves live a life of robbing people on the road and kidnapping people to earn ransoms. Under the banner of the treasure thieves, they can also be regarded as having a well-known name. .
Qian Yanjun lumps these people together into a treasure-stealing group. In fact, there are ways to distinguish them within the treasure-stealing group, and the most vulgar one is the nickname.
The big boss's animal-type "Montenegro Tiger", Mondstadt's "Strange Bird", and the special-functional ones such as "Flying All Over the Sky" and "Clear Eyes". They have all kinds of nicknames, and everyone is not surprised by them.
Back to the topic, Lin Ye asked Xingqiu the reason for this matter in confusion.
Seeing Lin Ye's confused look, Xingqiu knew that the other party was different from what he thought, so he explained patiently.
"I heard from Qian Yanjun who posted the notice that not long ago a businessman who went to Mount Aozang to seek immortality was killed. His servants protected him and he escaped, but his youngest son was caught and left there. ."
"Kidnapping?" Lin Ye asked aloud.
He was familiar with this business. Before he became the second master and gained power, the treasure thief group did this.
"That's right," Xingqiu nodded, "and they are not all together. The people who were sent back in exchange were more or less abused."
Lin Ye frowned when he heard this.
"Alas," Xingqiu sighed, "I have heard of the reputation of the scumbag bandits in Aozang Mountain who are willing to help others. They do not harm people's lives when seeking money, and the promises they made will not be exchanged for thousands of dollars. The money they robbed also helps Ao Zangshan. Poor families in villages near Zangshan Mountain.”
"I believe there must be a being named [Xia] in his heart. If I could see him in person, I would really like to get to know him."
Lin Ye listened on the sidelines, feeling a little embarrassed.
No, no, Lin Ye just wants to make a living. Unless he is a villain with extremely evil crimes and countless crimes, and the other party has a murder case on his hands, Lin Ye doesn't mind doing justice for God.
If they are simply stupid or bad, and neither stupid nor bad completely, Lin Ye will at most give them a lesson and will not send them to the West easily.
In the final analysis, due to the influence of previous life education, even if Lin Ye came to this continent of Teyvat where "being killed" was not uncommon, and even if he had the power to easily take other people's lives, Lin Ye still drew a line in his heart.
In order to survive, you can kill, but you must not make killing a habit, otherwise Lin Ye feels that his soul will deteriorate.
While Lin Ye was thinking a lot, Xingqiu continued, his tone filled with resentment.
"It's a pity that the Hu Zha bandit lost his life at the hands of the person behind it. The treasure stealing group in Aozang Mountain has also changed. It is no different from other rural bandits."
"Um?"
Lin Ye came back to his senses, what the hell?
I am dead? Or die from a backstab?
Lin Ye's head popped up? ? ?
"Master Xingqiu, what do you mean by what you just said? What does it mean that the scumbag bandit was brutally murdered?"
"I heard from hearsay that Hu Zha Bandit was the second in charge. The first master was afraid that Hu Zha Bandit was so powerful that he poisoned him and killed many of Hu Zha Bandit's direct descendants."
This script... is inexplicably familiar, as history has played out this way.
"Master Xingqiu," Lin Ye patted Xingqiu heavily on the shoulder. The latter was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Ye in confusion, and saw the other party solemnly saying, "If you don't believe rumors or spread rumors, it starts with you and me! "
Hutao on the side glanced at the forest and remained silent.
She had a bold idea.
Combined with Lin Ye's acting style and his experience of being thrown into Mount Auzang by his own father, tsk tsk...
"This is tea after dinner. What Brother Lin taught me is that if you don't believe rumors, don't spread them. As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is believing. However, the Hu Zha bandit has not appeared for a long time. This time I plan to join the Qianyan Army. I’m going into the mountains to suppress bandits, hoping to meet Bandit Hu Zha.”
Lin Ye was silent.
Based on his understanding of the strength of the big boss's group, Xingqiu, who was level 48, was really abusing the boss and catching them all in one fell swoop.
"Well, this hall master agrees to your request for leave."
At this time Hutao suddenly said.
Lin Ye glanced at Hu Tao in surprise, and the latter blinked at him innocently.
"I have one more condition," Hutao said again, "This time I also want to go to Mount Aozang with you."
"What about the night patrol?" Lin Ye asked subconsciously.
"Don't worry, I've become a lot cleaner during this period." Hutao smiled.
Perhaps it was due to the boldness of a skilled person, and he took off the necklace while patrolling the forest with Walnut by his side.
Although there is no exaggerated effect of losing the spray in Pokémon and seeing a wild Pokémon in the grass in three steps, Linye and Hutao encountered some unclean things throughout the night.
In the past two weeks, Hutao transformed into a scavenger and did a general cleaning. All the ghosts he encountered were sent to the afterlife, and Liyue Port became relatively safer at night.
Although existences like ghosts cannot be completely eliminated, like germs, they will breed again after a while, at least for now Hu Tao can rest assured.
"Besides, I can ask Zhongli to help me with night patrol. He is so young, so it will be fine if he stays up late." Hu Tao added.
In the past, when performing rituals outside Hutao Liyue Port, Zhongli would be asked to watch the night.
It is limited to Hutao going out to Liyue Port. Within Liyue Port, Hutao has always adhered to her responsibilities and has a strong sense of responsibility.
When Lin Ye heard this, he thought of Mr. Zhongli walking alone at night under the moonlight. His face was indifferent and his eyes were calm. Perhaps the bored Emperor Yan wanted to meet a ghost and chat for a while.
"That's fine." Lin Ye nodded, and then he realized something was wrong.
Obviously he originally wanted to open an anchor point, so why did things have to go to Tianheng Mountain for development?
Moreover, Hu Tao was a little suspicious. Lin Ye recalled that Hu Tao blinked at him, and felt more and more fishy.
Hu Tao won’t find her previous vest, right?
...If you discover it, you just discover it, it doesn’t matter.
Lin Ye chose to show off.
"Brother Lin, Hall Master Hu, it seems that you are also going to Aozang Mountain. How about we go together?" Xingqiu said with a smile.
Lin Ye was a little hesitant. He planned to open anchor points along the way, but it would be very inconvenient for outsiders to follow him.
"Linye, Master Xingqiu is right. Why should we refuse to go with us? Are you hiding something and feeling guilty about it?" Hutao asked, pretending to be puzzled.
Yes, Hutao guessed it.
Forget it, join the Qianyan Army, get some information, and see what the official statement is. Lin Ye thought.
There must be a cause and a result. Lin Ye once lived in a treasure stealing group. He knew that he would face it sooner or later, and he also thought about how to deal with it properly.
As Lin Ye's thoughts became firm, the system made a sound.
"The bond mission begins: the Black Mountain Tiger's wish."
"The Black Mountain Tiger has been in a lot of trouble recently. He doesn't know how to choose between brother and woman. At this time, he misses his second brother more and more, and hopes that he can give him some guidance."
"Completion conditions: Solve the troubles of the Montenegrin tiger."
"Reward: 120 rough stones"
"Big experience book*8"
"Limited time mission: The treasure thief group is in great crisis."
"The treasure thief group entrenched in Aozang Mountain is facing the crisis of annihilation, but they are still immersed in joy. As the former second master, what choice do you make when faced with the survival or destruction of the treasure thief group? ."
"Completion conditions: Witness the ending of the treasure stealing group."
"Reward: 50 rough stones"
"Big experience book*3"
Lin Ye noticed new changes in the tasks assigned by the system. What the hell is this bond task?
The bond between the first boss and the second boss?
The rewards of raw stones and large experience books are quite rich. Is this the power of bonds?
Are there any completion conditions added?
Lin Ye, who was rewarded with raw stones and a large experience book, smiled and said to Hu Tao and Xingqiu.
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. Let's go to Qianyan Army to see when we can set off."
Hutao was surprised at Linye's change of attitude so quickly and felt that he must be harboring something bad. Xingqiu was happy. With a companion, he could tell his elder brother and father that he was traveling with friends.

"Shen He, are you in a daze?"
Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun stood on a hill, looking down at the white-haired girl who was meditating. In the past, she had her eyes closed when practicing, but now she opened her eyes, her eyes were dull, and she seemed to be distracted.
It's been like this for a while.
Ever since, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun made a straightforward inquiry.
Shen He has the magic of the immortal family and can travel thousands of miles in a day. He just came back from Liyue Port the day before yesterday. Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng asked a few simple questions at first, but Shen He didn't show anything strange.
Now it seems that something must have happened during Shen He's trip.
Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun shouted once, but Shen He didn't react. After shouting three times, Shen He raised his head and looked at the master, with a slightly puzzled expression on his cold face.
"Master, did you call me?"
