Chapter Twenty-Seven: First Arrival in Xining
After coming out of the Zha Zang Temple, I jogged with Xiaojian and Yuxuan on the official road leading to Huangyuan County, without saying anything all the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I still can't come back to my senses, and I feel like I'm in a dream.
Our previous experience can be described as twists and turns, I am secretly glad that I am not on the wrong side, if we really make an enemy with Zha Zangqu, not to mention gold and martial arts, I am afraid that in the end we will end up with no place to bury.
"What's next?" Yu Xuan suddenly asked.
When I looked up, I realized that Huangyuan County was close at hand.
"As soon as Lin Liancheng and Wang Dexi die, there shouldn't be any big bosses in Huangyuan County, right?" I muttered, "Why don't we go to Xining?" ”
"Well, I'm just waiting for your words." Yu Xuan said with a smile.
Yu Xuanqiao's face was slightly red, her eyes were like silk, and she was bright and beautiful.
What a big beauty, I secretly admired.
I couldn't take my eyes off Yuxuan, and I was relaxed for a while, like a spring breeze.
Yu Xuan smiled shyly, turned his head away from my gaze, and galloped up with the reins, throwing me and Xiaojian away from me.
Xiaojian and I hurriedly urged our mounts to catch up quickly.
We came to the post station outside the south gate of Huangyuan County, got on the carriage, and headed east to Xining.
At this time, Xining has not changed from yesterday, and it is still a city with only NPCs and no players.
"Are you hungry?" I asked on a whim.
"I haven't eaten since I entered the game, but I haven't felt hungry, and if you don't mention it, you would have forgotten about eating." Xiao Jian laughed.
"yes, our consumption in the game for a whole day is equal to 1 hour in reality, and so far it is equivalent to 4 hours, so there is no hunger pang." Yu Xuan nodded in agreement.
"I'd love to try the in-game flavors, what do you think?" I enthusiastically proposed.
"It's okay, I've been busy for 4 days in a row, it's time to take a breath, while it's still dark, let's go to the restaurant to eat something and rest." Yu Xuan smiled charmingly.
Yu Xuan's delicate posture once again made my heart ripple, and I felt a warm current rise from my chest, and then surging all over my body.
Yu Xuan was a little embarrassed when he saw my gaffe, so he had to pretend not to see it.
We rode our horses to the Piaoxiang Building in the south of the city, and after entering the door, we found a random table and sat down.
It took a few minutes for Xiao Er to come up to us and call for us - no wonder, it was early in the morning, and he was tired from the day.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the chef has called it a day, so there is no hot stir-fry in our restaurant, only cold dishes and wine." Xiao Er yawned and said, "If it weren't for the customers upstairs who hadn't left, our store would have been closed a long time ago." ”
"Oh, it looks like we're in good hands." I smiled and said, "One pound of old white dry, a plate of peanuts, half a pound of pig's head meat, two pounds of beef, and then cut a chicken." ”
The dialogue in the weekday TV series had the opportunity to say it in person at this time, and it really felt so enjoyable that I couldn't help but grin.
Xiao Jian glanced at me disdainfully, while Yu Xuan turned his head and snickered.
"Okay, guest officer, please wait, the wine and food will be here soon." Xiao Er agreed, and then ran out of the back door of the store and went straight to the kitchen.
After a while, Xiao Er brought up all the dishes I ordered, and set up the dishes and chopsticks.
Xiao Er lifted the wine jug and filled all the wine cups of the three of us, and said, "Guest officer, please use it slowly." ”
I nodded in gratitude, and Xiao Er arched his hand perfunctorily, then retreated to the counter and dozed in the corner.
"For the sake of our acquaintance and acquaintance, we toasted together." I raised my glass heroically.
"Brother, you seem to have missed 'love'." The little swordsman laughed playfully.
The wine was very fragrant, and it had already made me salivate before it reached my mouth, so I didn't have the time to pay attention to Xiaojian's ridicule, and hurriedly drank about half a tael of wine in the wine cup.
"It's refreshing." Xiaojian shouted loudly, and then took a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Yu Xuan stiffened his head and drank a drink, and immediately frowned and grinned, "It's so spicy, so spicy." His face turned red immediately, and he looked slightly drunk.
"This wine is really good, even if it is not as good as Moutai, it can be compared to Jian Nanchun." I laughed, then lifted the flask and filled all three of us glasses.
"I can't drink anymore, I never drink, I made an exception just now." Yu Xuan hurriedly shook his hand and said.
"Well, if you can't drink it, drink less, and I won't pour it for you anymore, you can take this cup slowly and casually." I laughed.
I sandwiched a slice of beef and put it in Yuxuan's bowl, and beckoned, "Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables." ”
I put another chicken leg between Xiaojian, and he picked it up three or two times and nibbled on it, and I was very satisfied to see that he was eating happily.
"You can't get fat in the game, do you?" After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Jian suddenly said: "People who like to eat can enter the game without fighting monsters or PK, but choose to taste all kinds of delicacies, and no matter how you eat, you won't grow meat." ”
Hearing Xiaojian's words, Yu Xuan and I laughed out loud, and we both agreed again and again.
Food may really attract some foodie players in the game, and I am afraid that making a fuss about it will also be a way to make a fortune in the future, I secretly said in my heart.
I couldn't help but feel good when I thought of this, so I reached out and picked up a large piece of beef and stuffed it into my mouth, closed my eyes and chewed it slowly.
"Brother, a buff will be added after eating." Yu Xuan said coldly.
I looked at the status bar, and sure enough, there was an extra buff that increased stamina by 10 points.
"Just a little bit more?" I laughed dumbly.
"I can stack, I now have 2 stacks of strength and 2 stacks of stamina." Xiaojian said.
Xiaojian eats the fastest and the most, so the buff is already more than one layer, especially the chicken thigh, which directly gives him 2 layers of power buff.
"Eat as much as you can and see how many layers you can add." I said as I shoved the beef into my mouth.
Xiaojian and Yuxuan were not to be outdone, and they both ate at full speed.
After sweeping all the wine and food, we found that each attribute added 10 stacks, beef added 10 stacks of stamina, chicken added 10 stacks of strength, and wine added 10 stacks of internal strength.
"These are the most crude foods, and I guess good things add more attributes." I groaned.
Although we didn't feel full, the alcohol was obvious, and by this time all three of us were red and drunk.
A surge of happiness came over me, and I felt like my whole body was fluttering.
Wine is a good thing, and it's no different in the game, I thought to myself.
"I really want to fight monsters and upgrade." Yu Xuan said with a smile.
"Sister, you have violent tendencies, you want to fight and kill when you drink." Xiaojian teased.
"Yu Xuan is right, you should hurry up and upgrade while there is a buff." I said it seriously.
"Well, 100 attributes, that's a lot...... And it's only been 30 minutes, we've already wasted 5 minutes, why don't we hurry up and go? Xiao Jian said as he got up and rushed out the door.
"You two are so bored." Yu Xuan chuckled, and at the same time stretched out his right hand and dragged the small sword back to his seat, and his left hand clenched his fist and slammed it on my shoulder.
My bones were crispy all of a sudden, and my heart was itchy, if it weren't for the presence of Xiaojian and NPCs, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to help but hug Yuxuan and make love.
Perhaps feeling the heat in my eyes, Yuxuan shyly avoided my gaze, and this look of wanting to refuse and welcome made my heart itch even more, and I couldn't help but get hot.
"Xiao Er, come to Hulongjing." I shouted—my mouth was dry at the moment, and I wanted some good tea.
"Guest officer, it's really unfortunate that the last pot of Longjing was ordered by the guests upstairs." Xiao Er laughed apologetically.
How could it be such a coincidence? In this city where there are only NPCs, there are people eating in the middle of the night, and after eating, I ordered my favorite Longjing, and the most outrageous thing is that this is actually the last pot of Longjing in the store! I couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Are you a dead man in your purchase? Don't even know if the stock is gone? I yelled angrily at Xiao Er with the strength of the wine.
"Due to the weather, this year's tea harvest is poor, and good goods are even more difficult to find, so the store's inventory is very small, and I really can't live with the guest officer." The shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter when he heard the news, and apologized while making a gesture: "Our store has a good Mao Feng, why don't you soak it for the guest officer?" Count the hospital's invitation and make amends to the guest officer. ”
"I don't like to drink." I shook my hand and said, "Check out." ”
"I thought it was, but it turned out to be three heroes." A familiar voice came from the direction of the stairs.
There was a person who was slowly walking down the stairs, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be the wealthy businessman Wang Million.
Wang Million walked towards us with his fists clenched, followed by two strangers.
The three of us stood up and greeted Wang Wanwan.
"What a coincidence, I would have invited you upstairs to have a drink or two together." Wang Million said with a smile.
Then, Wang Million introduced his two partners to us, one of them was Qiao Dewei, the deputy general of Xining Prefecture, and the other was Xue Zhenbang, the chief catcher of Xining Prefecture.
The little second-hand foot quickly cleaned up the table, placed the teapot and cups, and filled them one by one.
The 6 of us re-seated and chatted over tea.
Wang Wanwan told Qiao Dewei and Xue Zhenbang about our heroic deeds, he was very eloquent, and a simple story was interpreted in his mouth with ups and downs, and it was wonderful.
Qiao Dewei and Xue Zhenbang were amazed after listening to it, and gave a thumbs up and praised the three of us.
We responded to them modestly and in a low-key manner, claiming that we were lucky.
Qiao Dewei whispered a few words in Xue Zhenbang's ear, Xue Zhenbang was a little hesitant at first, and finally nodded as if he had made up his mind.
"Three heroes, I shouldn't have mentioned this matter when we met for the first time, but the stakes were so high, so I said it head-on." Xue Zhenbang hugged his fists and said, "If this thing is done, you will be promoted and make a fortune, and everyone here will not be disappointed." ”
"I don't dare to take any credit, both sides are my friends, I can be a guarantor, and I will never let either side suffer." Wang Million said with a smile.
"With Brother Wang's words, I won't go around in circles." Xue Zhenbang smiled, then his expression became solemn, and he lowered his voice and said: "Once this matter is revealed, Vice General Qiao and I will not only lose our official positions, but I am afraid that we will also worry about our lives, so please be careful." ”
Seeing that Xue Zhenbang said so seriously, I became more and more curious, and hurriedly urged: "Brother Xue, it's okay to say it's okay, brother will do his best." ”
"Three days ago, I took more than a dozen catchers to patrol the villages near Lao Ye Mountain, which was just a routine matter, but I didn't expect to catch a bandit picking flowers in the village." Xue Zhenbang began to speak slowly.
"The night before, the thief entered a villager's house to rob the sex, but the family was very alert, he was found as soon as he blew the incense, and when he shouted, the neighbors went out together, and he was caught instead of stealing chickens."
"When I entered the village, the chief of the security guard led several strong men and was about to escort him into the city to receive the reward, so I took over. When I got back to the city, it was getting late, and I didn't have time to report the matter to the prefect, so I ordered him to be put in prison. ”
When they had finished eating, they tortured the thief while they were drinking, but he was a coward, and before the stick could be hit, they cried out for mercy and handed over a letter. When I read the letter, I was dumbfounded—it turned out that Li Yong, the general of Xining Mansion, had long been in cahoots with the thieves in Lao Ye Mountain. ”
"It's no wonder that every time the bandits are encircled and suppressed, they are always on standby, and the officers and soldiers do not move in the past, and they only withdraw after a few hasty exchanges on the periphery, and there are no casualties on both sides. In the past five years, bandits have been suppressed every year, and the people have also paid a lot of taxes to suppress bandits, but it has been fruitless. ”
"The so-called blessing is not a curse, but the disaster can't be avoided, I have a lot of things for a while, but now I am making it difficult for me to ride a tiger. General Li has someone in the court, and if he can't be defeated, we will be worried about my life, but if I don't report it, who will protect me when the incident happens in the future? ”
"So to this day, I haven't handed over the letter to the prefect, it's really embarrassing." Speaking of this, Xue Zhenbang sighed and looked sad.
"What does Brother Xue want us to do?" I asked—Actually, I had already guessed a few points in my heart, but I still wanted Xue Zhenbang to say it himself.
"If you don't do it, you won't stop doing it, and you will get rid of Li Yong." Qiao Dewei, who had been silent, said viciously, "After his death, Brother Xue immediately reported his collusion with the bandits, and if he wanted to shout injustice, he could only go to Lord Yama to shout." ”
"Draw wages from the bottom of the kettle." I smiled.
Everyone in the room nodded and smiled.
I communicated privately with Xiaojian and Yuxuan, and I felt that this matter was feasible, and we estimated that the reward after the completion of the matter would not be less.
Although it is not a glorious thing to be hired to kill, we are killing a thief who colludes with the bandits, and it is also considered to be the way of heaven, I secretly think about it.
"Without further ado, let's go." I said.
System Prompt: You have accepted the quest "Kill Li Yong".
"Three heroes, be careful." Wang Million admonished.
After saying goodbye to Wang Million and the others, we hurried to the General's Mansion.
