Volume 2: The Big Lie Chapter 28: Leaving a Trace
"My lord, let the little ones go. Our chamber of commerce really can't afford to lose money on its small business!" The shopkeeper of the caravan already had a crying tone in his tone, and he was about to kowtow to Qianzhou and beg for mercy. At this time, three days have passed since the full moon.
Qianzhou snorted irritably, turned around and walked out.
It's not like Qianzhou is doing evil with the identity of a transcendent being, he just wants to find a caravan to partner with across the white desert. But in the past few days, every caravan has found all kinds of excuses to refuse, such as taking a thousand boats and killing them.
In fact, it's not as exaggerated as asking for their lives.
It was the news from the military that made Qianzhou figure out the reason - he was offered a bounty by the [Bird without Pupils], and the price was twenty jade coins.
When he heard the news, Qianzhou almost burst into foul language.
Twenty jade coins are converted into Qin Yuan, which is enough to be ten million, and the monthly expenses of an ordinary family of three are only about 1,500.
Even when he walked in Luntai, Qianzhou could feel that some people's eyes had taken on a strange color when they looked at him, but it was just that the laws of the Qin State were restrained. One can imagine what it would be like once you reach an extralegal place like Bai Desert. It is no wonder that no caravan dared to travel with a thousand boats.
Qianzhou raised his head and sighed.
The sandstorm in the white desert has passed, and the sky is clear. It was like a blue paint applied to the bottom, and there was no other variegation.
The sun has risen high, and Luntai has returned to its former prosperity after the lockdown ended. But only no one dared to approach within three feet of Qianzhou. Wherever he goes, the crowd will be separated like the sea.
"Walking 10 million" - this is what people call Qianzhou in private.
"Do I have to cross the white desert alone?" Qianzhou rubbed his forehead in annoyance.
In the current situation, it seems that there is only one way. But thinking of his road idiot attributes, Qianzhou was big for a while. Well-marked cities are still at risk of getting lost, let alone white deserts with no references?
Although the endurance of the transcendent is far beyond that of ordinary people, it does not mean that they can not eat or drink. I can't say that I will go, and in a few years, someone will happen to find a dried corpse in Bai Mo.
Just when Qianzhou was distressed, Nanshanqiu came with news - hoping to see Qianzhou.
............
Qianzhou walked to Nanshan Qiu's office, knocked on the door, and walked in.
Nan Shanqiu sat behind his desk, still dressed in a capable military uniform. Compared with the sharpness when he first saw it, Nanshan Qiu's temperament at this time has become much gentler - it is not that the blade has become dull, but that the edge is hidden in the sheath. It means that she has taken another step up the ladder.
Seeing Qianzhou come in, Nan Shanqiu gently put the document in his hand on the table.
But just such an ordinary action made Qianzhou's hair stand on end!
The cover of the document is pitch black, but in the center is printed with a gilded ichthyosaur pattern - it is commonly known as the "black book" by the transcendents, and it is a special document from Jinyiwei!
Subconsciously, Qianzhou's right hand was already buckled on the fragment in his sleeve. The essentia in the body is faintly waiting to be released, and the bottom of the eyes has already ignited a silver spark.
Qianshu quickly ran his brain to think about the possibility of his escape from the Third Order—but alas, the answer was infinitely close to zero.
"Don't be so nervous. Nan Shanqiu spoke first, "If I really want to do something to you, it's useless for you to struggle." ”
This is also comforting. Qianzhou comforted himself in the bottom of his heart.
"So, do you have any advice for calling me?" Qianzhou said bluntly.
"Jin Yiwei wants you, but he doesn't know what he did to you. Then answer me now, you have done something with a guilty conscience in Yundu?" (The less people know about the dragon vein, the better, so it is not put on the surface.) )
"Nope. Qianzhou's voice was calm, but it had a convincing power.
"Did you hurt innocent people by what you did?"
"Nope. ”
"But anyone has benefited from what you've done?"
"Countless. ”
Nanshan Qiu's three questions were sharper than the other, and they were already mixed with the will of a third-order transcendent, like a storm blowing in his face.
Qianzhou's answer was still categorical, and through those clear eyes, Nanshan Qiu vaguely saw the young man's glass-like heart.
Nan Shanqiu couldn't help but nodded: "I still have some confidence in watching people." I also see what you did in Luntai, although some places are a little naïve, but this integrity is not annoying. ”
After a pause, Nan Shanqiu said again: "You can leave today, I only think this document I saw after you left." ”
"However, I can't get out of the white desert without a guide. Qianzhou said distressedly.
"Guide?" Nan Shanqiu raised his eyebrows, and there was a rare hint of ridicule in his tone, "Isn't your guide already ready? My junior sister runs to me every day to ask for experience from those veterans who have been to the White Desert. ”
Jiang Qinghan?
Hearing this, Qianzhou was stunned for a moment. In the past few days, the girl has no news at all, but she didn't expect it to be for him to work silently.
At this time, Jiang Qinghan knocked on the door and shouted "Senior Sister" and walked in.
"Qianzhou, you're here too. Jiang Qinghan smiled, the spring breeze blew thousands of miles, and gently swept across the white desert.
The girl was holding a notebook in her hand, and the gap that she accidentally opened could see the dense handwriting in it. The girl's dedication in the past few days can be seen in general.
Nan Shanqiu gently bowed his head and asked, "What's the matter, I've finished asking all the questions that should be asked?"
"Almost. Jiang Qinghan's smile was rarely a little shy.
"Then you can go today, and I will prepare the camels and supplies for you. ”
"Wait. Qianzhou interjected into the conversation between the two, "Qinghan, isn't your practice over, why do you want to leave?"
Jiang Qinghan stroked the hair in his ears: "How can you count it this time, almost all of you are contributing." I can't do anything cheating. ”
"No, I mean you don't have to risk it with me. I was offered a bounty by the [Bird Without Pupils], and Bai Mo's journey was definitely not peaceful. ”
"What do you mean by this?" Jiang Qinghan raised his eyebrows, with a little anger in his eyes, "Isn't it dangerous for you to help us this time?" You are hovering on the verge of life and death in several battles, what is it for us to accompany you on a trip to Bai Mo. My brother and Pei Xing both have the same idea. ”
Qianzhou was speechless for a while, but there was a little warmth in his heart.
Since I came to this world, although I have stumbled and been covered with scars. But in this way, what you do is not meaningless.
