This oddly named "Youjian Grocery Store" has a lot of doors, and business can be described as bleak, but it is a bustling section of the road with expensive land that has been open for many years. The shop next to it opened and closed, closed and opened, and I don't know how many times the owner changed. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this "grocery store" is bound to lose money year after year, but it has been standing tall and watching the spring and autumn wither.

The shopkeeper held his chin in one hand, and his head was napping little by little like a dragonfly.

There was also a young man not far from him, who was also following the pace of the boss, and even out of the blue, he was lying on the table and falling asleep.

Looking at the dust accumulation of the few things on the shelves, you can imagine how lazy these two guys usually are. On the other hand, it can also be seen that the shopkeeper does not pay much attention to business at all.

In fact, the shopkeeper really didn't care about the business of the store.

Tuk Tuk!

Long Aotian stretched out his hand and knocked twice on the tabletop, so frightened that the shopkeeper almost slammed his head on the table.

"What for?" The shopkeeper, who had not fully recovered his consciousness, was very impatient and looked like a rusher.

Such a shopkeeper, such a shopkeeper, would have run away in anger a long time ago. Long Aotian didn't think it was upset, and still asked with a smile: "May I ask the shopkeeper, are there any wool coats from the Desert Kingdom for sale here?" ”

The shopkeeper, who originally looked half-dead, was like a lazy cat smelling a fishy smell, and the whole person was shocked, and a fine light seemed to flash in his eyes.

"The guest officer laughed, the weather in the desert kingdom is hot, and the clothes people wear are mainly light and thin, who will be full to make a wool coat."

"Didn't you? I had a full ten taels of gold to buy it. Long Aotian said disappointedly.

"How much?" The shopkeeper's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Ten taels of gold."

This time, the shopkeeper made sure that he had heard correctly, and hurriedly walked out from behind the counter.

"This business shop has taken it, please ask the guest officer to follow me to the inner room, and we will talk about it carefully."

He led the way in front of him as he shouted to the guys.

"Get up, you slacker, show me the shop. I have a big business to discuss with this distinguished guest, and don't bother me with big things. ”

The guy raised his head in a daze, and before he could figure out the current situation, the shopkeeper had already taken Long Aotian into the inner room.

Until Long Aotian was beckoned to sit down, the shopkeeper was still standing crampedly aside, excited and nervous.

Of course, "there is a grocery store" is not really a grocery store, and this shopkeeper is not for business. In fact, this was a secret contact point of Tang Fengjun's in Lincang City.

This point of contact is usually only responsible for gathering intelligence and does not participate in other military operations, and is quite secretive. Only when there is an urgent and important task will it be assisted.

And to mobilize their strength, official positions and so on will not work. If they didn't know the special joint code, even if General Tang Feng came, they would still not recognize it.

This is something that General Tang Feng personally treated and emphasized when he established these contact points.

In Tang Feng's army, military discipline is the heaviest. Orders are forbidden, and military orders are like mountains. Whether it is a soldier or a commander, there are no exceptions. General Tang Feng himself set an example and obeyed correctly, and others did not dare to disobey the slightest.

The shopkeeper's conversation with Long Aotian just now was a special joint codeword. But what shocked the shopkeeper and even couldn't believe it was that what the other party said was actually "ten taels of gold"!

Even General Tang Feng is just "nine taels of gold". In Tang Feng's army, who else can have more "one or two golds" than General Tang Feng?

It's not that the shopkeeper can't think of it, because the answer is too obvious.

He just couldn't believe it......

"Sit down." Long Haotian smiled gently, and beckoned the shopkeeper to sit down.

The shopkeeper respectfully thanked him, leaned over and slowly sat down next to the edge of the chair.

Seeing his cautious appearance, Long Aotian smiled helplessly: "It seems that you have guessed my identity?" ”

"Yes." The shopkeeper was still nervous, and added, "I guessed a little." ”

Long Aotian waved his hand: "Okay, then I won't talk nonsense anymore." I came here today to ask you for one thing, that is, to pay attention to the situation of the descendants of a medium-sized family in Lincang City. ”

The shopkeeper nodded, and carefully wrote down the name of the family and the big man that Long Aotian said.

"What do you mean by your lordship, do you need to protect him, or do you need to deal with him?"

"Neither." Long Aotian shook his head, "You just need to pay attention to his situation and report to me at any time." ”

"Yes." The shopkeeper didn't ask why, and directly received the order. He was originally a soldier, as long as he did what he was told, he never asked too much.

Long Aotian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Their ancestor recently broke through to the Golden Fighter, do you know this situation?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes." ”

"That's good." Long Aotian nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the appearance of the big man yesterday, it is estimated that within their family, the news of the promotion is kept secret. The fact that this secret point of contact can hear information is a testament to its extraordinary capabilities.

Originally, considering the safety issue, Long Aotian planned to pay attention to the situation after Dahan left home. Now it seems that in the lair of the golden fighters, they also have their own eyes, but they don't have to worry about themselves.

After all, suitable experimental materials are not common, but it is just a matter of taking more time and effort to find. If you miss it, you will miss it, and there is no need to fight for your own life.

……

The magical girl Katie discovers that Long Aotian has often appeared by her side recently. If you follow some vulgar routines, it's an entangled beautiful girl with a dead face.

Although Katie is young and lacks life experience, she has the sensitivity of a girl in this regard. Long Aotian's smile was diluted and peaceful, his eyes were clear and bright, without the slightest ****, if there was affection, it was just the affection of a big brother to a little sister.

It's just that others apparently don't see it that way.

Not far away, York the Thief was whispering to Daniel.

Or to be precise, it was York gossiping to the elven shooter.

"There is a situation! Daniel, look over there! ”

"Huh?" The elven archer replied with a nasal voice that contained a thousand messages.

York looked like he hated iron: "Look over there, Boss Long seems to be interested in Katie." ”

Daniel squinted at him, and simply didn't even give a nasal voice.

York wasn't angry, he knew what kind of character this alien companion was.

"I said, why are you so calm and careless. You have also experienced the skills of the dragon boss, it is the boundlessness of the cow. With him joining, the strength of our Spirit Fox Mercenary Group will at least double. But his current status is only a temporary team member, and if he arrives in the desert kingdom according to the agreement between the head of the regiment and him, the contract signed will be over. Don't you think it's a pity to let him just wave his hand away like this? ”

Hearing this, the elf archer's face finally became serious, and his mentality was corrected.

Not to mention, it's not just gossip.

"You mean, let Katie do her beauty?"

As soon as the words came out, the expression on his face became a little unnatural. Although he did want to keep Long Aotian in the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group, if Katie's happiness was sacrificed because of this, the upright and arrogant elf felt that it was difficult to convince him.

York sighed and said, "I said, brother, where do you want to go, is it true that in your eyes, I, York, am such a filthy person?" ”

Seeing the unmistakable expression of "yes" and "indeed" in the eyes of the elven archer, he only felt unable to argue, and hurried on.

"Actually, you think too much, we don't need to put too much effort into it at all. You see that the dragon boss has been sticking to Katie all the time these days, and he looks like he follows him wherever he goes, isn't this obviously interesting to Katie? We don't need to do anything deliberately, just create a little more opportunity for the two of them to be alone, usually say more good things about Boss Long in Katie's ear, beat the side drum appropriately, and the rest will be fine. ”

Although the thief is usually quite unreliable, what he said today is reasonable, and Daniel can't help but nod his head again and again, and no longer resists.

Anyway, whether you like it or not, whether to accept Long Aotian's pursuit or not, the choice is in Katie's own hands. In this way, the elven shooter has no psychological guilt.

As for beating the side drum and saying good things, that's also nothing. With Long Aotian's conditions, on strength, background, appearance, and character, all of them are the best choice. Even with the pride of an elven archer, I have to admit from the bottom of my heart that such talents belong to the most top-notch group of people in the elven clan.

If he can make this marriage, he is indeed sincerely happy for his companion Katie. Beating the side drums, saying nice things, creating opportunities or whatever, that's not stressful at all.

The thief York saw that he was moved, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"Come on, man, we've got to count ...... up."
