Chapter 21: Mu Linxian

If there is anyone who Mo Qianying doesn't want to see after being reborn, it is undoubtedly the woman in front of him.

Mu Linxian, this name has been recognized by Mo Qianying, but it also leaves nightmarish memories in his heart. At that time, he had just met Lin Yan's eldest brother Lin Xiao, and the Kowloon Club was still just an obscure gold mining studio. The two met Mu Linxian by chance during a mission, and at the repeated requests of the other party, they agreed to let her join the Kowloon Club.

At that time, they would never have imagined that this woman would be the beginning of all misfortune.

On the night when the Kowloon Club signed a capital injection contract with Tenglong Group, Lin Xiao, who had no idea about everything, proposed to Mu Linxian, and Mo Qianying did not go back with them because he was drunk. Also that night, Lin Xiao and Mu Linxian drove a car from the winding mountain road and fell off the cliff and both died.

So everything about this woman became a mystery, and it wasn't until Mo Qianying escaped from the hands of the Blood Lock Dragon City that she learned a little clue from the mouth of the eighth elder of the Nine Dragons Society. The encounter between Mu Linxian and them back then was deliberately arranged, but this person was not the Blood Lock Dragon City, and as for the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, he could not find it until Mo Qianying was reborn.

At this moment, Mo Qianying suddenly realized that this was an opportunity, maybe following her from the beginning, he could wait for the person hiding behind him to make a move.

During the time when Mo Qianying was out of his mind, the Seven Star Alliance and those players had already started talking.

"When I passed by last week, there was no one, why did you suddenly say that there was a charge?"

A crisp voice sounded, and Mu Linxian stood up and glared angrily at the leader of the Seven Star Alliance. Mu Linxian's appearance made the eyes of those present light up, only to see that she was wearing a pink tulle long skirt and wearing a small and delicate double sword around her waist, obviously worshipping the Gongsun Sword Sect. As a sect that only accepts female players, the Gongsun Sword Sect has always been popular.

The leader of the Seven Star Alliance stared at her for a while, and the little brother next to him saw that he was so embarrassed, and hurriedly pulled his sleeve. The man shook suddenly, coughed a few times in disguise, and stumbled, "Uh...... Our Seven Star Alliance has just captured the city of Wind Fall, and now this main city is under our control...... This one...... So now you have to pay the toll, there are so many robbers and bandits nearby, we have collected your money, and naturally we will ensure your safety. ”

Mu Linxian frowned, and took a step forward to reason with him, when a male player named Amorous Sword who was traveling with her stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and said softly: "Senior sister, don't be impulsive, let me tell him." After speaking, he took a step forward and stood between the two.

"This big brother, I am friends with Tianya, the leader of your Seven Star Alliance, and this trip is also to visit him, I wonder if I can be accommodating?" Amorous Sword smiled confidently.

The leader frowned and looked at it for a moment, then asked, "Then how do you prove it?" ”

The amorous sword was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Oh, it turned out to be for nothing!" A player from the Seven Star Alliance next to him sneered, "I'll just say how can our alliance leader have such a poor friend, and he can't even afford to pay 10 silver tolls." ”

"Don't deceive people too much!" The amorous sword pointed at the Seven Star Alliance player, and then looked at Mu Linxian beside him, and his face suddenly became a little hot.

"Senior brother, why are you talking nonsense with these people? Big deal we're not going into town! Mu Linxian pulled out his dual swords with his backhand and glared at the members of the Seven Star Alliance.

Just as the two sides were tense, a gold coin in one hand reached out in front of them. The people on both sides were stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at the owner of the gold coin.

Mo Qianying put on a hidden cloak and said slowly in a system-modified voice: "I've paid their money, let them go!" ”

The leader of the Seven Star Alliance snatched the gold coin, and then waved at Mu Linxian and the others and shouted, "Just give someone money!" Hurry up and get out of the way! Saying that, for fear that Mo Qianying would regret asking for the money back, she ran to the checkpoint without looking back.

Mu Linxian glanced at Mo Qianying and thanked him. Her senior brother Amorous Sword leaned over, and she wanted to add friends and call her brother and brother, Mo Qianying ignored him without saying a word, and turned around and walked towards Fengzhui City.

"What's the spirit...... "Amorous Sword's anger, but because Mo Qianying helped them give them the money, he could only curse in a low voice.

"Xian'er, how can you say that he is willing to help us pay the toll, and he will be 1 gold as soon as he makes a move!" A petite girl beside Mu Linxian looked at Mo Qianying's back and asked.

Mu Linxian shook his head, and then looked at the amorous sword, the amorous sword was stared at by her like this, and suddenly burst with vanity, and said with a smile: "Actually, I had a relationship with him, and he only helped out because of my face, but my friend is more shy, you can see that he is still wearing such a black cloak on such a hot day." ”

In an instant, the group of junior brothers and sisters next to him showed envious eyes, and they all inquired about his friend.

Mu Linxian couldn't laugh or cry at this, but he didn't dismantle the ruthless sword, and just silently followed them into Fengzhui City.

On the other side, Mo Qianying successfully entered Fengzhui City, but the sight made him wonder if he was in the wrong place, and for a moment he had the illusion that he was in the national war zone. The bustling streets of Windfall City are littered with debris and garbage, and some street stalls have been burned to the ground by players, and the places where they pass are either red names or fallen corpses.

During his trip to the Wind Fall City Inn, he also took out two players who tried to sneak up on him, an NPC pickpocket who intended to steal his things, and three quacks who robbed him on the street. The moment he entered the safe area of the inn, the dozen or so people who had been hanging behind him left in high spirits.

The inn in the game is an absolutely safe zone, and no one can do anything in it unless someone from the government comes to search it. Therefore, in addition to the bound resurrection main city, when they travel to other main cities, if they also want to enjoy the service of the complete resurrection of the bound main city, they must pay the corresponding accommodation fee to the inn, otherwise once the player chooses to resurrect in the non-bound main city, they will enter a state of serious injury for up to six hours.

"One room, seven days." Mo Qianying directly threw two gold coins to the shopkeeper's table, "I want to ask you for a little bit of news for the rest of the money." ”

The innkeeper, as long as the player provides enough money, they will reveal the information they have. Of course, no one has discovered this feature yet, after all, today's players often have empty pockets and will never do this kind of thing to send money to the system.

Just as Mo Qianying remembered, the shopkeeper smiled and put it away after getting the money, and then leaned slightly to reveal an expression of willingness to hear it.

"Have there been any suspicious people in the last week?" Mo Qianying asked in a low voice.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his voice with a serious face and said, "I think you are very suspicious, guest officer!" ”

Mo Qianying was choked by him and was speechless for a while.

"Just kidding! Just kidding! After fully demonstrating his AI capabilities, the shopkeeper reported the information he had in earnest: "A week ago, a group of merchants from other places came into the city, but they only stayed overnight and left. ”

This is a clue to the robbery, and players who want to make a windfall will be interested in this message.

"What else?" Mo Qianying paused, "For example, are there any three people traveling together?" Among them, there is an extremely beautiful girl? ”

"Three people together...... Extremely beautiful? The shopkeeper groaned for a moment, then shook his head.

Just when Mo Qianying was disappointed, the shopkeeper seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "It's not beautiful, but there are three people traveling together, they are three young women with longbows on their backs, and they have also lived for a week like you, a guest officer, and just left two days ago." When I heard them talk, it seemed that they had mentioned going back to the south or something......"

"Longbow! Three! It's them! Mo Qianying suddenly shouted excitedly, then reacted that this was the inn lobby, and then coughed awkwardly in the surprised eyes of others.

Left two days ago and went south.

This is the information he has so far, but he is not in a hurry to chase it, after all, the person has been gone for two days. In a game world where you can teleport at any time, blindly chasing after it is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack. So Mo Qianying planned to proceed as originally planned, he guessed that these three people should be on a certain mission, as long as they figured out the reason why they killed the city lord of Wind Hanging City, and then followed the task node all the way to the past, they would always be caught.

As for how to find the clues of the mission, Mo Qianying is extremely clear, according to his experience of completing countless large-scale tasks, this kind of mission that is enough to affect the progress of the game must have a complete background plot. Now it seems that as long as you start with the information of the city lord of Wind Hanging City, you can find clues.

After straightening out the general plan, Mo Qianying threw a gold coin on the table and asked directly, "Do you know anything about the city lord who just died?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at the gold coins on the table, but did not put them away, but looked at Mo Qianying with deep meaning and smiled silently.

Mo Qianying rolled her eyes and tossed a gold coin again.

The shopkeeper shook his head again.

"How much do you want to say?" Mo Qianying frowned, a little surprised by the other party's insatiable greed.

"It's not about the money." The shopkeeper pushed the two gold coins back to him, "I do know something about the city lord, but once I say it, it means that I am leaving Fengzhui City, and at the moment Fengzhui City is also in chaos, it just so happens that I am also planning to close the shop and leave here, as long as you are willing to do me a small favor, I am willing to tell you everything I know." ”

Mo Qianying was stunned when she heard this, and Zou Mei did not immediately agree.

Seeing his expression, the shopkeeper immediately sighed and said, "I know that you Jianghu people will not agree so easily, so let's do it!" In addition to the news from the city lord, I added this thing. As he spoke, he took out a piece of parchment from his bosom.

Mo Qianying glanced at it disappreciatively, and then saw the three words on the parchment scroll.

Peacock Feather.

"This, this, this, this!" Mo Qianying pointed to the parchment scroll and spoke incoherently.

The shopkeeper quickly put away the parchment roll, and then asked with a smile, "Then will you help?" ”

"I ......" Mo Qianying was about to agree, but suddenly paused, the excitement on his face faded, and he whispered, "No! The Peacock Feather is one of the legendary secret weapons of the Tang Sect, how can its design be in your hands? ”

"Yes, that's not the blueprint." The shopkeeper did not deny it, "Or maybe not all of its blueprints, this is a fragment of the blueprint of the Peacock Feather." Seventeen years ago, I took in a seriously injured Tang Sect disciple, and he gave me this fragment as a thank you for saving my life, and I can see that you are also a Tang Sect disciple, and I will not refuse this reward. ”

"Seventeen years ago?" Mo Qianying was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the former master of the Tang Sect was hunted down and killed seventeen years ago, and he didn't expect that he had accidentally got a clue about the Great Grandmaster's mission.

"I think you have more to ask me, how about it? Help me or not? The shopkeeper showed a look of victory.

Mo Qianying looked at him quietly, and then shook his head: "Even if I don't help you, there are other ways to know about the city lord." This blueprint of Peacock Feather is not just a fragment, even if it is a complete design drawing, it is not something I can make now. At last...... I am indeed very interested in the seriously injured Tang Sect disciple you are talking about, but I know more about him than you do. ”

This time it was the shopkeeper's turn to show a surprised expression, he saw Mo Qianying turn around and want to leave, he immediately showed a nervous expression, and stopped him without saying a word: "You wait first!" Don't be in a hurry! ”

Mo Qianying smiled secretly in her heart, turned around slowly, and asked unhurriedly, "What?" Didn't I say I wouldn't take your assignment? ”

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, and said with a little helplessness: "You kid is very cunning!" How can I tell that my task can only be given to you? ”

When Mo Qianying saw that he had broken it, she stopped going in circles, and said with a chuckle: "You can leave at any time if you want to, why do you have to wait for others to help you complete the task before you can leave?" There must be something else that left you here, and I asked you about the city lord just now, and you said that you wanted me to help, this matter must have something to do with the city lord, I guessed right! ”

The shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders and did not deny it, then swept the table casually and said, "Since you have made everything clear, are you willing to help?" ”

"Help!" Mo Qianying smiled, "But I want you to add some more rewards." ”

"Plus?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, "But I only have so many things on hand, what else can I do for you?" ”

Mo Qianying narrowed her eyes, leaned up with her hands on the counter and whispered: "It's very simple, this inn will be mine after you leave, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I know your rules." Before the new lord of the city took office, all the properties in the city were open, and they could be transferred to anyone as long as the previous owner agreed. ”

The shopkeeper also narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Young man, you know too much. ”

"Knowledge changes fate, my treasurer." Mo Qianying looked at him with a smile.

"Alright! Deal! The shopkeeper sighed helplessly, then looked out the door and said, "Since you want to inquire about the background of the city lord, then I just asked you to help me go to the city lord's mansion to get something...... Go to the blacksmith shop in the east of the city to find the old man Lin who is striking iron, and he will tell you the next plan. ”

Mo Qianying's mind turned sharply, and he immediately connected the front and back, and asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper, are you a member of a mysterious organization, the target is the things in the City Lord's Mansion!" ”

The shopkeeper gave him a blank look: "I was also forced, otherwise how could I, an ordinary person without force, get involved in this, you just bring me something, and I will explain it to you afterwards." ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper was holding his hands and didn't want to mention it again, Mo Qianying understood that the task prompts had probably all come out. I suddenly secretly rejoiced in my heart, I didn't expect that the clichΓ© skills learned in the previous life were really useful, once these NPCs had abnormal performance, then it meant that they must be responsible for an important plot, and at this time the player could maximize the reward through bargaining, which the player found out through countless attempts.

Bidding farewell to the shopkeeper, Mo Qianying walked towards the east of the city, he just wanted to complete this task as soon as possible and see if he could analyze the direction of Lin Yan's next move.
