Chapter 468: Tracking
Baishu City, the only one north of the snow-dumping plain, is bordered by the weak water river in the north and the snow-dumping plain in the south.
The place where it is located is the plain area in the true sense of the word, extending in all directions, and worthy of the name of the traffic artery.
No, before entering the city limits, I had already seen a stream of caravans. The crowds of people coming and going are lively.
The majestic city walls are so high that you can faintly see the tall buildings inside, and on the banks of the weak water river, there is a standing wharf.
But in comparison, the post station is obviously much more lively than the wharf, after all, the weak water river is not comparable to ordinary rivers, and the cost of using the river to trade is amazing.
All the way into the city, I found an inn to stay overnight, ordered a table of things at random, sat at the window and silently counted the flow of people, while pinching things and stuffing them into my mouth.
Lan Yiyi didn't seem to have much appetite, propped up her chin, looked out the window, and the chopsticks in her hand took a long time to move.
"What's the matter? If it doesn't suit your taste, you can call for something else. Lin Chen said in a low voice.
He hadn't eaten a serious meal for a long time, so he called a big table and gobbled it up as if he hadn't eaten anything in eight lifetimes.
The appearance of the wind and clouds attracted the other guests in the inn to look sideways and show disgust.
However, Lin Chen didn't bother to take care of them, anyway, his stomach was his own, and it was useful to take care of them.
"No, I just feel like there's something strange about the atmosphere in this city. Lan Yiyi frowned slightly, and swept around the inn.
When Lin Chen heard this, he narrowed his eyes, in fact, he also felt this way. How to say it, although Baishu City is a traffic fortress, it is still a little worse than Liufeng City.
But when he entered the city, the liveliness of the city was beyond his imagination. On top of that, there seem to be too many guests at this inn. Moreover, consciously or unconsciously, with vigilance.
"What's the matter, let's eat ours, eat and rest. I'll go to the docks later, and then I'll go to the trading house to stock up. ”
Lin Chen pursed his lips, but he didn't care too much. No matter what the purpose or purpose of these people is, it's better not to come for them anyway.
After a meal, Lin Chen asked for two rooms, and the upper room was full, and there was only one room in the middle and lower.
There is no way, looking at Lan Yiyi's appearance, he will not be willing to go to the next room, he will live in it by himself. After cleaning up, I went out, not far from the dock, and when I got out of the city, I could see the dark flowing water.
There is also a faint smell of obscurity.
"Boat man, is this boat crossing the river?" Finding a passenger ship, Lin Chen immediately asked.
"Buy a ticket first!"
"How much is a person?"
"Not much, 10 million gold!" The other party stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's mouth twitched, isn't this a lion's mouth, if it was before, he still had this money, but after buying a few handfuls of spirit treasures from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, he was almost shaken clean.
There are only a few thousand left.
"Can you discuss?" Lin Chen silently calculated the inventory on his body
, even if it is sold out, it will not be able to make up the summons money for two people, which is still really troublesome.
Hearing his words, the boatman immediately turned his face and pouted impatiently: "If you don't have money, what kind of boat do you take, go for a walk, and go back to play on the kang by yourself!"
With a wave of his hand, he was about to drive people away, and that impatient look made Lin Chen immediately frown.
"When will this ship depart?"
"Anyway, I don't have any money, why are you asking this?, let's go, hurry up, don't delay my business!" stretched out his hand and was about to push it towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen dodged and dodged, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. There is this kind of snobbery everywhere, and he reached out and patted the placket of his clothes, and he didn't bother to see this kind of person in general.
"Who is rare, this broken ship, it can't hold up to the other side at a glance, I wish you a sinking ship halfway!" waved his hand, and Lin Chen swept down.
Dropping this sentence, the boatman frowned when he heard it, but he wanted to settle accounts with Lin Chen, but Lin Chen was gone.
"Huh?" Falling to the ground, Lin Chen just wanted to ask about other families, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his eyes looked at the figure who came down from the boat not far away. It's none other than the boss I met at the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
"Why is this woman here?" Suspicious in his heart, Lin Chen couldn't help but look up and glance at the boat, and when he saw the fluttering flag, he flashed a realization.
Just as he was about to go up and say hello, another pair suddenly appeared on the dock. Lin Chen unconsciously paused, glanced over there, and when the Lord was bending down in front of the visitor, his expression was extremely respectful.
I hadn't found it before, but with this move, Lin Chen saw that she had injuries on her body. And the injury is not light, so bending over and getting up will appear sluggish.
There was a group of women, the eldest in his early forties, and the youngest in his twenties.
Standing in front, with a slightly raised chin, with a vague arrogance, and a temperament full of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away. As he spoke, he turned his head and walked towards the city.
"When the Lord himself greets him, the person who comes is extraordinary. I have long felt that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is a little tired, just take a look!" Thinking of this, Lin Chen's body moved, and he picked up a hat and buckled it on his head, and followed from a distance.
At the branch venue of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, seeing a few people slowly entering, Lin Chen frowned, except for camouflage, and approached.
Seeing a group of people entering the inner hall, he took out the identity plate given to him by the original lord and handed it to the attendants.
He was invited into the reception room and pushed the group out of the room, only then pushed open the window and sneaked out. I happened to see the maid who had been with the lord come out of a room.
"It seems that this is it!" muttering silently, Lin Chen identified the next room and walked up. Pushed open the door and crept in.
A seemingly nonexistent formation fluctuation immediately surged up, completely enveloping the next room.
"What the hell is the secret to talk about, to make it so grand. Frowning, Lin Chen immediately beckoned to the system and asked the system to think of a way.
[It's not difficult to break the formation, this is just an obstruction formation, but if it's not enough, it will definitely alarm the other party. Are the hosts sure they want to do this?]
"There's no way to bleat quietly?"
[Nope.] The person who arranges the formation is in the array, and his mind is attracted to each other, and the formation is moving, and his heart will be shocked. 】
"Then why did I come all the way here?" Lin Chen was depressed. Cuizhu's previous anomaly, as well as her disappearance, made him more concerned about the behavior of the lord who stuffed Cuizhu into himself in the first place.
That's why I sneaked along, wanting to explore the bottom of this master.
"Forget it, there's no rush. I just hope Cuizhu is okay!"
Shaking his head, Lin Chen turned around and walked out, intending to slip away. Just as I arrived at the door, a chill suddenly swept over.
Before he had time to think about it, he hurriedly stepped back, and then he heard a clang, and the door came out of the frame and slammed it against him.
