Chapter 183: Into the River

The sun had just fallen into the cliff of Longmian Mountain, and the sky was quietly blurred with a faint night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Youhe River flowing down from Longmian Mountain flows very unruly to the north until it merges into the Liuyuan River in the north of Youzhou City.

The reason why the Youhe River is unruly is because the rivers on the boundary of Youzhou are generally from north to south, but the Youhe River goes the opposite way, not a small river, and it is an extremely abrupt grass carp, which is quite maverick in the river water world.

On the side of the Youhe River, which is some distance away from Youzhou City, there are thirteen hurried figures gathered here, they looked at the figure in the center with puzzled faces, they were very puzzled, why the other party suddenly summoned them here, according to the rules of the Qitian Guild, the guild members cannot easily gather, so as not to be caught by the hostile strength and take a secret attack.

Especially in this kind of wild environment now, they must be cautious, after receiving Luo Baiyu's summoning order, in order not to easily expose their whereabouts, they still spent a lot of effort before sneaking out of Youzhou City.

Luo Baiyu, who was standing in the middle, looked around, and the expressions of the people in the future were in full view, he knew that these people had concerns, but they were in a hurry, and they wanted to get the ancient arrow as soon as possible, and it was very likely that he would not succeed with his strength alone, so he could only pin his hopes on the strength of the entire team.

However, after seeing the faces of everyone present, Luo Baiyu's eyes still turned cold, because only one of the fourteen people from the Youzhou branch did not come.

"Where's your vice-captain? Where did he go? ”

Luo Baiyu asked lightly with an expressionless face, and it could be seen that he was very unhappy in his heart, as the captain of the Youzhou Branch of the Qitian Guild, the number one leader, was actually openly disobeyed by the second in command! This is clearly a slap in the face!

Everyone saw Luo Baiyu's anger, and immediately looked at each other, they didn't know why the vice captain couldn't avoid it, so they secretly rejoiced in their hearts, they had long seen that the vice captain was not pleasing to the eye, if they wanted strength or status, they had no status, and the last time the operation failed, they were severely criticized by Luo Baiyu in public, this time they openly disobeyed the order, obviously the vice captain's beauty is going to be lost!

One of the thoughtful men immediately sensed that this was a rare opportunity to ascend to the top, so he took the lead and said loyally: "Captain, don't be angry, that guy thinks very highly of himself, and he has never been worthy of acting with us. You had clearly ordered you not to go to Duan Pingsheng's trouble easily, but he ignored your orders, and still picked up those people in the dungeon of Wuyou Wangfu to assassinate Duan Pingsheng. ”

"But what about the result?"

The man shrugged his shoulders with disdain: "Wasn't it easily resolved by Duan Pingsheng?" I don't think the reason why he dared not come today was because he was unhappy with your criticism? A person like him shouldn't sit in the vice-captain seat at all! ”

When this person spoke, he always looked at Luo Baiyu's words, and when he saw his expression, not only was he not displeased, but there was a faint smugness in his eyes, so he put down his heart and scolded him, so Luo Baiyu nodded heavily, and said in agreement: "Not bad!" That guy has no ability, no rights, I really don't know why the president made him the vice captain of our Youzhou branch in the first place! Since he disobeyed my leadership twice in a row, there is no need for him, the vice captain, to continue to be the captain! ”

As soon as the words fell, Luo Baiyu was deliberately silent for a long time, his eyes scanned, and he saw the burning color in everyone's eyes, and laughed secretly in his heart, it seems that these people have long been eyeing the position of the vice captain, and this is also a helpless thing, when the January killing and robbery passes, all the copy cities will disappear one by one, and Youzhou City, as the core of Liaodong, will become a gathering place for gamblers.

Don't look at the fact that there are only fourteen of them now, and he, the captain, can only have limited power, and the vice captain can't give orders. However, in the future, the power of the two captains will increase rapidly due to the increase in the number of people under their command, and correspondingly, the resources that can be grabbed will also be greatly increased.

That's the strength of the team, and that's why so many people value the position of vice-captain.

Luo Baiyu glanced at the person who spoke just now, Hu Chaoqun, his father is the lieutenant of Youzhou Zhichong, Hu Yi, the senior official of the fourth grade, and the fierce general under the command of An Dajiedu, who is in the same line as the general Li Changlin of Youzhou, has always been incompatible. Hu Chaoqun's identity is relatively prominent among these twelve people, and he was the first to show his loyalty to himself, so it was not impossible to simply hand over the position of vice captain to him.

However, Luo Baiyu did not insist on the position of vice captain, so he could only sit by Hu Chaoqun: "Our Youzhou branch can't let the position of vice captain continue to be vacant, Hu Chaoqun, I see that you have been developing well recently, and there are still two years before the crown, and you have already entered the triple building, which is very good!" It's up to you to be the vice-captain for the time being! ”

"Good!"

Hu Chaoqun, who seemed to have a generous face, but was actually scheming, immediately responded, although it was only temporary, he firmly believed that he would be able to remove the temporary title after all!

Seeing Hu Chaoqun picking peaches first, the people around him secretly said that this person was treacherous, but this is also a matter of no way, regardless of strength or status, Hu Chaoqun is qualified to serve as the vice captain, compared to the lone man who sells his reputation and reputation, they are more convinced of Hu Chaoqun's leadership.

"That's it! Not much to gossip! I came to you today, mainly for one thing! ”

Luo Baiyu didn't waste too much time, letting everyone digest the changes that had just happened, and his extremely solemn tone suddenly made the people present prick up their ears.

"You should all have heard of the battle of Longmian Mountain, my family's dragon slaying failed, and it was not until today that the Yan Wangfu held an engagement banquet, and he rushed to the palace with his injuries to congratulate the Yan King. And I, on the other hand, got an unexpected news from Li Jiangbei! Luo Baiyu teased with a smile, "I guess Li Jiangbei will not be in a hurry, and I will secretly eat that Qingmei County Lord tonight!" ”

“……”

Silence, except silence or silence.

Luo Baiyu thought that even if everyone didn't know how to tell some half-meat and half-vegetarian jokes, they would at least laugh, but these people all showed very embarrassed expressions, which made him stunned, frowning and asking inexplicably, "What's wrong?" Did something go wrong? ”

Everyone looked at each other again, not knowing how to explain, the speaker was still the new deputy captain Hu Chaoqun, he said concisely: "There was a mess at the engagement banquet, and Li Jiangbei's scandal was exposed, which angered the eunuch of Sanbao, and directly scolded Li Jiangbei for a bloody head under the pretense of the holy decree, so that he could no longer mix in the boundary of Youzhou City." ”

Well? How could this happen?

Luo Baiyu frowned, but he remembered the appearance of meeting Li Jiangbei in Yanwangfu this morning, Li Jiangbei seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, not only changed his previous attitude of being submissive to himself, but also talked to himself about the conditions. He thought that Li Jiangbei and Duan Pingsheng must have secretly reached a deal, and it was a sure thing to hold the beauty, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen now.

If it weren't for Hu Chaoqun's reminder, he would still think that Li Jiangbei had become the son-in-law of Li Zhong, the king of Yan.

"How so?"

Luo Baiyu was puzzled, he shook his head, and skipped this matter for the time being: "Forget it, don't pay attention to Li Jiangbei, after a while, he will definitely leave Youzhou in disgrace, and there will be no great use value!" ”

Thinking like this in his heart, Luo Baiyu commanded: "Let's not pay attention to Li Jiangbei's affairs, what I want to say now is that Li Jiangbei revealed to me where Duan Pingsheng hid the Cunhan Ancient Arrow!" Since I got the news, I immediately left Youzhou City and traveled south along the Youhe River, until I arrived here, using the blood in my body, I vaguely sensed the existence of the Cunhan Ancient Arrow. ”

When everyone heard Luo Baiyu's words, they immediately turned their heads in astonishment, but they couldn't find a place where Duan Pingsheng could hide the Inch Han Ancient Arrow!

Smack!

"Alright, don't look at it!" Luo Baiyu clapped his hands, attracting everyone's hearts back, "No matter how stupid Duan Pingsheng is, he will not hide the Inch Han Ancient Arrow on the ground!" The reason why he was able to escape from Longmian Mountain was through the underground waterway, and the origin of the Youhe River is this underground waterway, so I tried to follow He to see if there was any special discovery, but I didn't think about it, I really found it! ”

"Just before you arrived, I had already made a preliminary survey of the Youhe!"

Luo Baiyu raised his hand and pointed to a section in the hidden river and said, "Right here, I found an extremely hidden water inlet, which leads straight underground!" And the closer I got to Shuikou, the stronger the blood veins in my body became! Just verified Li Jiangbei's statement! ”

"So, Captain, you called us here to help you retrieve the Inch Han Ancient Arrow?"

Hu Chaoqun raised his head and glanced at the mouth of the river, swallowed his saliva, and asked inexplicably.

"Not bad! With my own strength, it is even more difficult to enter the underground waterway through this inlet, and I can only rely on the strength of all of you! Luo Baiyu also knew that if you want the horses to run, you have to feed the grass, and immediately promised, "Don't worry, everyone who contributes today, I will have generous gifts in the future, and I will definitely not disappoint you!" ”

Hearing Luo Baiyu's words, some people who wanted to retreat were moved, even if it was early summer now, it would still be a little cool at night, especially under the cold and biting river, which made them retreat even more. However, with Luo Baiyu's promise, everyone couldn't help but weigh it in their hearts, it was obvious that if it weren't for the fact that the Inch Han Ancient Arrow was too important to Luo Baiyu, he wouldn't use the tone of imperative, otherwise, an order could force them to solve it.

Although it is not easy to sneak into the underground waterway through this inlet, Luo Baiyu will definitely not let them suffer! In this way, not only can Luo Baiyu be sold well, but colleagues can also get a considerable remuneration.

Everyone's minds immediately came alive, and they all thought about the hole cards they had in their hands to see if they could come in handy here.

After a short silence, it was Hu Chaofan, who had just been promoted to vice captain, who suddenly spoke, and he knew that whether the word "temporary" on his head could be eliminated could only depend on Luo Baiyu's attitude.

And it was extremely coincidental that he happened to have a spell in his hand that could solve the current predicament, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Captain, I have a spirit rune in my hand, which can be used to escape the ground, of course, not to teleport directly to the ground, but to forcibly open up a distance." ”

"Oh?" Luo Baiyu's eyes immediately lit up, "How deep can this spell penetrate?" ”

"Thirty meters!"

When answering, Hu Chaoqun consciously handed over a spell emitting spiritual light to Luo Baiyu's hand, Luo Baiyu looked at this spiritual rune and nodded repeatedly: "I feel that the underground waterway is only fifty meters away from the surface, although the closer to the water surface, the narrower this water mouth becomes, but if my expectation is correct, the position of thirty-five meters underground can easily accommodate the next person to pass through!" ”

"So! The most urgent task is how to dig a distance of five meters down the estuary as soon as possible, so that I can use the spirit runes! ”

Luo Baiyu set his eyes on everyone, although his martial arts were the highest, but in this matter, it was obviously useless. At this time, when the others saw that Hu Chaoqun had once again taken the limelight, they no longer hid it, and one of them immediately took out the strange-shaped items and introduced them to Luo Baiyu that it was a one-time strange thing that could be used to dig the soil, and it was just right to cooperate with the spirit rune to solve Luo Baiyu's problem together.

"Good!"

Luo Baiyu saw that the most difficult problem had been solved, so he immediately laughed happily and said, and when others saw his appearance, someone said again: "Captain, if you want to dive fifty meters and search for an inch of cold ancient arrows under the water, it is not an easy thing, just me, the water is not bad, if the captain can be trusted, leave this matter to me!" ”

"Hmmm! Good! The cold ancient arrow will emit a blue glow when it encounters water, presumably in this underground waterway, Duan Pingsheng will not go to great lengths to cover it up again, you should be able to find it easily! Speaking of this, Luo Baiyu suddenly solemnly advised, "Remember, you must not touch the Cun Han Gu Arrow directly with your hands, otherwise, the cold poison on the arrow will directly kill you!" ”

The man also knew the name of the Cunhan Ancient Arrow, and he definitely couldn't be underestimated, so he nodded very seriously.

Immediately, Luo Baiyu no longer wasted time, immediately used light skills, flew on the hidden river, aimed the earth-digging strange object at the bottom of the river, and threw it suddenly, only to see that the unruly water surface stirred up circles of ripples, and then suddenly rolled around, and a huge bubble rose in the river, which suddenly made the river turbid.

Just listen to the sound of "pop", the bubble that touches the air quietly bursts, and when the water surface is calm again, everyone throws time and finds that the original very narrow water mouth really extends down about five meters! Luo Baiyu nodded with satisfaction, and the person who contributed also secretly puffed up his chest.

Seeing that half of the preliminary work was completed, Luo Baiyu immediately handed over the spirit rune to the volunteer subordinate, only to see that the man jumped into the cold and biting river without hesitation, and fluttered in the water a few times like a swimming fish, and then he showed up and said to Luo Baiyu: "Captain! I'm going to open the water mouth to get you an inch of cold ancient arrows, and you just wait for my good news! ”

"Hmm!"

Luo Baiyu nodded heavily, watching this person disappear into the mouth of the water like a water arrow, waiting with joy for the news of the other party's victorious return......
