After disposing of the gibbon ape's corpse, Zhang Tao and Jing Li continued on their way. ，

Even in winter, the border city is still a bustling scene.

It had been a month since Zhang Tao and Jing Li returned to the border city, and they rarely walked around the city during this time.

Jing Li was healing, while Zhang Tao was hurrying up to practice.

During this time, Zhang Tao sorted out some of his feelings during the training in the Forest of Death.

The trip to the Forest of Death can be said to have brought great benefits to Zhang Tao.

is not only the improvement of martial arts, but also the progress of cultivation, of course, the most important thing is that he has made two friends, Shangguan Shuai Shuai and Jing Li.

After returning to Yucheng, Zhang Tao heard the news that the Mercenary Alliance had recently started to sell no injuries.

"It seems that Shuai Shuai has succeeded. ”

Thinking that the safety of his family was guaranteed, Zhang Tao's mood was much more relaxed.

"Brother Jing, I'll go out and inquire about the recent situation in Yucheng, your identity is relatively special, so don't go out. ”

"Go, go, let's go, it's been a critical moment in the past few days, but I didn't expect this injury to make my cultivation show signs of a breakthrough, presumably I can break through in a few days." ”

Jing Li's cultivation has improved, and Zhang Tao is also happy for him.

After changing his clothes, Zhang Tao left the inn where he stayed.

With the token given by Shangguan Shuaishuai on his body, Zhang Tao wants to know some information, just go to the Mercenary Alliance.

It's safer to go to the Mercenary Alliance to learn about it than to die in an inn and wait for luck to come.

Come to the hall of the Mercenary Alliance, which is as lively as ever, posting tasks, receiving tasks, and buying intelligence.

He showed the token to a receptionist, who immediately ushered Zhang Tao into a separate, enclosed room.

"Wait a minute, we'll be here right away. The reception staff said flatteringly.

Zhang Tao nodded.

The receptionist turned and went out, and after a short time he returned, this time not alone, but following behind an old man.

This old man is the head of the Border City Mercenary Alliance.

After leading the old man over, he turned and went out.

The person holding the token is a more important guest, and a guest like this must be talking about something very important, and he is not qualified to be here.

The old man came to Zhang Tao and gave Zhang Tao a salute, and Zhang Tao responded politely.

The people who can hold the token have a very close relationship with the six great families, although Zhang Tao is not very old, but his status is much higher than that of the old man.

The old man stood beside Zhang Tao and said politely, "Please also show the token." ”

Zhang Tao knows that this is the rule.

Handing the token to the old man, the old man glanced at it with a fusion expression.

He immediately returned the token to Zhang Tao.

The token that Zhang Tao took out was not an ordinary token, and this token had a special status in the Mercenary Alliance.

In the Mercenary Alliance, as long as it is the person who holds this token, no matter what request is made, the Mercenary Alliance will meet it, even if he wants to take over here!

Looking at the old man's expression, Zhang Tao immediately guessed the special nature of this token, thinking that Shangguan Shuai Shuai gave it to him so casually, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I don't know what you need?" the old man asked respectfully.

"I need all the information about the Great Chu Kingdom Yucheng in the last six months, remember all of them. Zhang Tao opened his mouth and said, "Whether it is from the major sects or the court of the Great Chu State." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll pick it up for you right away. ”

You, a person who holds a token, care about what the court of the Great Chu State does.

Although the old man had some doubts about Zhang Tao's request, he still met Zhang Tao in accordance with the regulations.

After a short time, the old man returned again, followed by two people, each holding a pile of materials in their hands.

Because Zhang Tao wanted the news of Yucheng in the last half year, and this half year happened to be the gathering of all major factions in Yucheng, so there was a lot of information.

Tell the two men to put all the materials on the table and then ask them to step back. The old man said respectfully, "All the information you want is here." ”

"Here are the materials of all the sects in the border city in the past six months. The old man pointed to the information on Zhang Tao's right, and then pointed to the information on Zhang Tao's left, "And this is the information of the court of the Great Chu State." ”

Zhang Tao's left-hand side has significantly less information than the right-hand side.

"Hmm. Zhang Tao nodded, "You go out, I will call you if necessary." ”

The old man saluted, turned and went out.

"It's been so long, I don't know if anything happened to Hacheng. ”

After the old man left, Zhang Tao couldn't wait to start reading the information.

Zhang Tao first picked up the information on the left.

There are not a lot of these materials, and Zhang Tao read them in an hour.

"I didn't expect the eldest brother to break through to the chivalrous level, and his progress is quite fast. A smile appeared on Zhang Tao's face, "Mei'er is not bad, she is already a great martial artist." ”

This part of the information is about the court of the Great Chu State, and the four great families are also detailed information as an important part of the Yucheng part of the court of the Great Chu State.

There is no mention in the information that the Zhang family is protected.

The cooperation between the Six Great Families and Zhang Tao is very confidential within it, and only a few people know about it, and it is even more impossible for Yucheng to have this information here.

After reading this part of the information, Zhang Tao spent more than two hours reading another part of the information.

After reading it, he left.

When he returned to the inn, he found that Jing Li was not practicing.

"Brother Jing, didn't you say you were going to break through, how could you ......?"

Looking at the smile on Jing Li's face, Zhang Tao understood, "Have you already broken through?"

Jing Li nodded, "I didn't expect it to come much faster than I expected." ”

"Congratulations to Brother Jing, your injuries are healed now, let's celebrate tonight and have some wine. ”

"Looks like you must have gotten some good news this time, look at your kid's fun. Jing Li said with a smile.

"Hahaha," Zhang Tao said with a smile, "Of course there is good news." ”

That night, the two of them asked for a table of dishes and a few jars of good wine.

"Tell me about the good news. After three rounds of drinking, Jing asked out of his mouth.

Zhang Tao told Jing Li about the news he got from the Mercenary Alliance.

Jing Li was also happy for Zhang Tao.

Of course, that's not all.

The Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion was hit badly during this time.

"Deserve it, who let them be black-hearted. ”

"A hemostatic medicine sells for such a high price, and it's a fucking auction!" Jing Li said in a rare foul mouth.

"Who needs hemostatic medicine the most, it's not those mercenaries, they live a life of licking blood on the knife's edge, and the money they get from hunting wild beasts is all for their Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion to be pitted, and the mercenaries have to live. ”

Listening to Jing Li's words, Zhang Tao's face was hot.

Selling the blood clotting powder in the form of an auction was his idea, Jing Li's words sounded like he was scolding the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion, but it was Zhang Tao who was really injured.

"Zhang Tao, what's wrong with you, why are you so red when you drink too much. Jing Li noticed Zhang Tao's strange appearance and said with a smile.

"Uh, nothing, nothing, come on, Brother Jing, drink and drink. ”

As he spoke, he took a glass of wine and drank it all to hide his embarrassment.

"Now the famous sects on the rivers and lakes have all gathered in Yucheng, and some small sects are also taking advantage of the current opportunity to vigorously develop. Brother Jing, where are you going next, do you want to go to Yucheng to join in the fun. Zhang Tao asked.

Jing Li's eyes were a little misty, and he said, "I'm a person who travels all over the world and is used to wandering, so I don't want to grab any red sandalwood peacocks with them." ”

"With that time, I might as well make a little more trouble for the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion. ”

Zhang Tao was keenly aware that there was definitely more than this contradiction between Jing Li and Wanyao Pavilion on the surface, there must be a deeper level, but he didn't ask, there was not much difference between knowing and not knowing, anyway, they were friends, and the common enemy was Wanyao Pavilion.

"Eh, don't say it, maybe one day I'll go to Yucheng and grab them on a whim. ”

"Hahaha"

The two men laughed out loud.

From the beginning of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion, to the Mercenary Alliance, to the Flood Wilderness.

Tiannan Haibei, two people talk about whatever they want.

The two of them drank this wine for a long time, because they knew that after drinking this wine, they would have to separate.

There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and the two of them cannot be together all the time, they will always be separated.
