Chapter 1408: Ghost Market (2)
Zhan Ruyi and the two entourages were still in a daze in the store, a little unclear about the situation, the smell of blood began to reach the nose, and the three of them woke up and left quickly, so as not to be affected by the pond fish.
Catching up with Miao Yi, Zhan Ruyi asked, "Why did you kill him?"
"A guy from the black market dares to blackmail the head of the Emperor's guard. Miao Yi snorted.
Zhan Ruyi: "You're not afraid of accidents?"
As everyone knows, Miao Yi just wants to cause trouble, the young man doesn't know each other, so he doesn't want to serve the heavens to the death, so the ghost is willing to come to this ghost place to perform some ghost mission, and if he causes an accident, he exposes his identity and just goes back to the house without him. If it weren't for the fact that it was too obvious for Heavenly Court to see that he was resisting this mission, it would not be as simple as killing a young guy, but directly smashing the shop.
So Miao Yi said disapprerovingly: "If something can happen, if it really doesn't work, I'll show my identity and see who dares to act openly." ”
Zhan Ruyi was speechless, and then looked back at the deserted street, there was a guy sitting in the shop, and it was estimated that the shop would not think that someone would do anything to a guy who didn't have much effect, right?
After walking through a few streets to avoid the possibility of direct suspects, several people swept up into the air, flew twenty miles away, and soon found the sign of 'There is an inn', landed at the door of the inn, and walked directly in.
There was also a lazy guy sitting in front of the counter, Yang Zhaoqing stepped forward and knocked on the counter, "Is there only one inn here?"
When the guy heard this, he immediately cheered up and replied, "One room can also become many rooms." ”
The code is right. Yang Zhaoqing pushed a jade plaque over.
After picking up the jade plaque and checking it, the man got up and nodded, walked to the side door and lifted the curtain. "Come with me, several. ”
A few people followed, and walked down the corridor to the innermost guest room, and the man pushed the door, not the room, but a staircase deep into the ground. After repeatedly zigzagging down the steps, I met a fork in the road and turned left. Keep going deeper.
There were two monks guarding the fork in the road, and the man passed a message to one of them, handed over the jade, and then took his leave and returned.
"Follow me!" a man took over and turned left. However, another monk stopped Yang Zhaoqing and the other entourage, "Only the two of them can go over, you wait here." ”
Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi looked back and nodded at Yan Xiu and the others. Signal to wait.
The two of them followed the leader past another room. When they came to the innermost room again, the leader knocked on the door.
A faint voice came from inside, "Come in." ”
Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi glanced at each other, feeling that this voice was a little familiar.
The guide had already pushed the door open, and after inviting the two of them in, he closed the door again.
When the two of them entered the door, they were stunned at the same time, and there was a person standing in the room. It's none other than the white-faced scholar who connected before.
The white-faced scholar took off his hat. ripped off the disguise on his face, took off his Confucian shirt, revealed a gray robe inside, and smiled at the two of them and arched his hand: "Commander Zhan, Commander Niu, our person is the shopkeeper of 'There is an Inn' Gu Duogui." ”
Zhan Ruyi frowned and said, "Since you are the shopkeeper, why do you have to make such a big detour?"
"There are so many people around the two of you, in this kind of place, the fewer people who know my true identity, the better, and I hope that the two of you will try to keep your identity as secret as possible. Gu Duogui explained with a smile, and then stretched out his hand and said, "The two Grand Commanders, please take a seat." ”
Miao Yi and the two sat down, and Gu Duogui personally poured tea for the two.
Zhan Ruyi: "Say, let's talk about what the task is." ”
Gu Duogui, who put down the teapot, sat down, "Speaking of which, this matter may have something to do with the two of you, the two of you were also involved in the Chaos Star Sea Incident, and the matter of the nine million Spell-Breaking Bows is now making a lot of noise in the black market, and many forces are coveting that batch of equipment." Now the right department of the supervision is being ordered to investigate the matter, hoping to find clues to find the white phoenix, but after all, the right department of the supervision is limited, and it is impossible to put all the manpower into this matter, so he transferred people from the left guard to assist. ”
As soon as he thought of the cold-faced judge, Miao Yi had a toothache, why did he transfer to himself, is there any reason for this?
Gu Duogui said with a smile: "I said that it is to assist, not to investigate the case of the two, the specific investigation is still carried out by the right department of supervision, but the right department has limited manpower, and the responsibility of the two is to coerce the right department of supervision, and when a suspicious target is found to be monitored, the two of them will be on top of the horse, and the two of them will immediately notify the person on the right side of the supervision to dispatch." If the manpower is not enough, it may be necessary to transfer two more people to replenish it. ”
Miao Yi relaxed a little, and his main task was to keep an eye on the stalk, not to fight and kill, and the danger factor was much smaller.
Zhan Ruyi glanced at Miao Yi and asked, "Why did you send the two of us to lead people to assist?"
Gu Duogui shook his head: "Then I don't know, this is the meaning of the above." ”
He really didn't know what the reason was, to be honest, there was a lot of uproar between Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi, and he had heard about it here, but he couldn't understand why the above sent this pair of enemies.
Actually, the reason for transferring the people from the left guard to assist is very simple, some people in the upper echelons of the Heavenly Court are also fighting the idea of this batch of law-breaking bows, and there are not enough people to supervise the right side, and the people of the local forces do not dare to use it, so it is more appropriate to use the people of the guards.
And the reason why Miao Yi was selected to participate was completely the result of Gao Guan's personal order in front of the green master. The reason is also very simple, Miao Yi has almost offended all the high-level members of Heavenly Court, and Gao Guan feels more relieved to use Miao Yi.
This reason is indeed reasonable, after all, the Guards are not clear enough to see the bottom, the forest is so big that there may be any birds, and no one dares to guarantee whether the Heavenly Court boss has infiltrated the Guards, so it is indeed more appropriate to let Miao Yi assist in this matter, and the Qing Lord happily agreed, which is why Miao Yi participated. However, the green lord ordered another person, and that was Zhan Ruyi, and the youth lord Zhan Ruyi also came to participate in this mission. In this regard, Gao Guan was against it, afraid that Zhan Ruyi would expose his eyeliner in the ghost market because of the background, but the green lord insisted on doing so, and Gao Guan couldn't help it, but he couldn't figure it out, knowing that Zhan Ruyi was the granddaughter of Ying Jiuguang and asked her to participate in this matter, I don't know what the green lord had in mind.
In short, this is the situation behind the scenes, and Gu Duogui's level is not high, how can he know about the above kind of thing.
The general task is clear, and Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi have a bottom in their hearts.
Before leaving, Miao Yi asked more, "When will this mission end?" ”
Gu Duogui shook his head again, "I don't know about this, I guess it depends on the progress of the task." But don't worry, Zuo Duwei's side will definitely make proper arrangements, and you won't have to worry about the future. ”
Zhan Ruyi: "When will we start executing." ”
Gu Duogui: "Don't worry, you don't seem to be familiar with this side, first give you half a month to familiarize yourself with the situation of the ghost market, and by the way, arrange your subordinates in the ghost market, the most appropriate arrangement is to quickly transfer people to follow in any area of the ghost market, so the route of the ghost market also needs to be familiar with the people under your command as soon as possible, and there will naturally be tasks for you at that time." However, there is one thing to remember, you must explain it, and this mission must be kept secret. ”
After some inquiries and explanations, although this is an inn, Gu Duogui did not agree to the two of them living here, afraid that if something happened to each other, he asked the two to find an inn to live in, saying that the accommodation expenses for this mission were reimbursed by Heavenly Court.
However, Gu Duogui gave them a batch of maps of the ghost city.
Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi left the room, and after going out, they led Yan Xiu and the others to continue walking.
While walking down the stairs, Miao Yi couldn't help but touch the wall that had been carved out of the ground, and found that it was the associated ore body of the crystal coin mine, and the wall was faintly glowing with star sand fluorescence, and even the lighting fixtures were saved.
The inn was dozens of feet underground, and after a few people walked out of the door of the inn underground, it was as if they had come to another world.
What is a ghost market, a market that cannot be seen in the light, and a market buried deep underground is called a ghost market.
The men and women on the street, people come and go, and it is very lively, but most of them are disguised or wearing masks, and no one seems to want to show their true faces here, and Miao Yi and others are the same.
The street is only ten feet high from the top, and I am afraid that it is really not suitable for flying here, and the streets that turn around and turn have not been planned in an orderly manner. Zhan Ruyi looked up at the dome glowing with star sand fluorescence everywhere, and said, "If you guess correctly, this ghost city should have been excavated on the basis of 'dead mines'. ”
Miao Yi nodded in agreement.
What is a 'dead mine' refers to a hollowed-out mine, or a mine that only has associated mines but no main ore, and the streets of this ghost market in front of you are so secluded, it doesn't look like it has experienced large-scale mining, it is obviously the latter of the dead mines, and there is no crystal coin by nature, and as a result, it is used as an underground trading market after being excavated.
There is also an advantage to using the associated ore body of the crystal coin mine to excavate such a place, Miao Yi has personally tested this kind of associated ore, which has a natural unloading ability and strong resistance to hits, similar to underground buildings that are not easy to be damaged even if they encounter a fight, and the area affected by damage will not be too large.
Although there is natural fluorescent lighting, but the light is not bright and natural, many shops still hang various lanterns at the door, and there are also lights in the shops, with the fluorescence of the star sand, this underground world is unique.
A few people walked down the streets, looking around while memorizing their way, occasionally crossing a bridge and crossing a river. This ghost market not only has winding roads, but also underground rivers that can be used by boats, and are fed by the rushing water from some places on the dome, because there is a river above, and many merchants directly direct the water from the river on the ground to enter the shops.
