Chapter 70: Cooperation
The staff took Li Xin'an to a side door of the auction hall, and walked into a passage leading to the underground, paved with smooth marble, and after walking for a distance, the road forked, with two roads, one left and one right.
The staff led him towards the passage on the right, and doors appeared on both sides, wondering how the caravan had built such a massive underground structure in just one day.
There will be a bright lamp every few meters above the passage, making the passage seem like daytime, and the walls on both sides are painted with patterns of large trees and flowers.
Li Xin'an didn't bother to look at the scenery on both sides, but kept looking back and forth, hoping to see Zhou Gan's figure, but he didn't see anything, there was no one here except him and the staff who led the way.
At this time, the staff stopped in front of a door and knocked lightly.
A girl's voice came from inside the door: "Please come in." ”
Li Xin'an only felt that this voice was somewhat familiar.
While he was thinking about it, the staff turned to him and said:
"You go in and you'll be able to take what you photographed when you're paid. ”
"Okay. ”
The staff turned to leave, Li Xin'an looked back and forth, and found nothing abnormal, so he pushed the door and entered.
There is a lot of space in the door, the decoration is very luxurious, and there are even two things that look like sofas, and Li Xin'an is the first time to see them in this world.
There was an antique table in front of the sofa, and there were many strange fruits on the table, which Li Xin'an had never seen, and there was also a set of tea sets.
At this time, there were two people sitting on the sofa, and Li Xinan knew them all.
One is Zhou Wenwen, sitting on the sofa in the middle, playing with the red fire knife that Li Xin'an took before, and the white cat lying next to her.
There was a man sitting next to Zhou Wenwen, his eyes were like stars, it was Zhou Qian, who was speaking before the auction, and he was quietly looking at Li Xin'an at this time.
Seeing Zhou Wenwen and Zhou Qian all of a sudden, Li Xin'an was a little confused, his brain was running rapidly, weighing the pros and cons.
"Why is Zhou Wenwen? Does she recognize me? Why is Zhou Qian here? Just so that the red fire knife that I photographed will not let the leader of the caravan come forward in person." Forget it and wait and see. ”
Li Xin'an took out 31 purple thunder gold pieces from the ink snow and put them on the table, and said, "This is purple thunder gold worth 3,100 gold coins, please give me the red fire knife I photographed." ”
Zhou Wenwen sneered and said, "Hahaha, Li Xin'an, why don't you pretend not to know me, I recognized you at the auction." ”
Li Xin'an took off his mask, revealing his disguised appearance, and said, "You recognized the wrong person, I'm not Li Xin'an." ”
Zhou Wenwen waved her hand: "Oh, don't pretend, I know you will be disguised, and I also know what you did in the city yesterday." ”
"How did she know? But Zhou Wenwen shouldn't have any malicious intent, let's see what she has to say. ”
Li Xin'an was silent for a long time, and then ordered the T-1000 to remove the disguise and restore his original appearance.
T-1000 wriggled and turned into a silvery metallic liquid and burrowed back into his clothes.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Qian showed an interested look and asked, "This is the thing in your chest, it can change its form at will, what kind of ability is this?" ”
Li Xin'an thought for a while and replied seriously: "Secret." ”
It was the first time he and Zhou Qian had met, and they were reluctant to tell him about their abilities.
Zhou Qian didn't care, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of brown liquid into the teacup and handed it to Li Xin'an.
He continued: "This is a drink in Zhongzhou, which is brewed from the leaves of a plant called tea tree. ”
"Tea?"
Li Xin'an took the teacup, sniffed it gently, and sure enough, he smelled a fragrance of tea leaves, took a sip, and only felt that a fragrance spread in his mouth, which tasted better than the tea leaves on the earth.
Zhou Qian continued: "Yesterday my people collected some information related to you in Frost City, so I want to talk to you. ”
"Haha, I just wanted to talk to him, but I didn't expect him to find me first, so it didn't take much effort. ”
Li Xin'an thought to himself, his heart blossomed, and he couldn't help but smile and asked, "What information have you all gathered?" ”
Zhou Qian said: "Yesterday, after you left the caravan, you went to meet your companions outside the Condensation City, and then used the disguise technique to pretend that Su Wu rescued Tielei Mountain, and finally killed thousands of soldiers in the west of the city, and then left the Frost City and ran to the mountains west of the Frost City, and destroyed the two passages into the mountains. Now the soldiers of Frost City are digging the two destroyed passages.
And the strangest thing is that Su Wu once hunted you down, and the people of Frost City thought you were dead, but you were sitting here alive. ”
Li Xin listened quietly and said, "Did you send someone to follow me?"
can understand things so clearly, Li Xinan has to suspect that he is being followed.
Zhou Wenwen stuck out her tongue mischievously and said: "I followed you, after you left yesterday, I was very curious, so I followed you all the time, but I didn't expect to see so many things."
I don't mean anything malicious, don't blame me. ”
Li Xin'an shook his head helplessly and said, "No, you are still my life-saving benefactor." ”
Then he said to Zhou Qian: "The information you have is all right, and it is very detailed, I have nothing to add." ”
Zhou Qian shook his head and said, "This information is all superficial, I want to know deeper information, or other more useful information." For example, why does the city lord care so much about Tielei Mountain?"
Li Xin'an thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "The caravan has never interfered in the affairs of Frost City for thousands of years, so why should you ask?"
Zhou Qian replied, "This time is different from the past, Frost City has long forgotten the agreement with Zhongzhou.
The city lord's actions had touched the interests of the caravan, and even the interests of Zhongzhou, and the caravan naturally had to respond accordingly. ”
Li Xinxin moved with peace of mind and said, "You tell me what the city lord has done that touches the interests of the caravan, and even allows you to break the thousand-year-old practice and meddle in the affairs of Frost City."
In exchange of information, I will answer all your questions you want to know. ”
"Okay!" Zhou Qian immediately agreed, and after a slight pause, he said:
"A thousand years ago, Frost City and Zhongzhou had an agreement that Frost City and Zhongzhou would not interfere with each other, but they should watch over each other, and if one side had a disaster, the other party must do their best to help.
This year, the demons invaded Zhongzhou on a large scale, occupying a large area of land, and Zhongzhou urgently needed minerals to refine weapons, food to avoid food shortages, and warriors to help defend against the enemy.
I asked the four families of Frost City for help, but instead of helping, the Frost family and the Chen family temporarily raised the price of food and minerals, far exceeding the caravan's budget. ”
"Demons?"
Li Xin'an thought of the terrible alien races he had seen in his dream, and secretly thought:
"Brother Huang once said that the ancient gods will wake up, and the demon invasion of Zhongzhou will not have anything to do with this.
However, listening to Zhou Qian's words, the caravan now has a great contradiction with the four major families of Frost City, so it can be used."
Li Xin'an opened his mouth and said, "I think we can cooperate." ”
