Chapter Forty-Eight: Listening to the Wind
Back in the Origin World, Bai Fan and the others appeared in a secluded alley, four or five streets away from the hotel he had stayed in before entering the space.
The four women had scarves on their faces, Bai Fan took the five people to the hotel, and the five of them looked curiously along the way, but they all followed Bai Fan's previous instructions, only looked and did not speak, after a few months of influence of the reincarnation, there were also many people in ancient costumes in the origin world, and the group walked to the hotel safely and soundly.
Bai Fan took them directly into room 302, where he had paid two months' rent, and asked them to wait inside, and he came to 304 next door and knocked on the door.
After a while, Bai Fan frowned, there was no one in the room, he himself had been in the Tianlong World for about seven or eight months, and only twenty or so days had passed in the Origin World, if there was no accident, Sha and Bi should be waiting for him inside.
He turned around and went downstairs to the lobby and asked the front desk, "Did the two guests surnamed Sha and Bi who live in 304 check out?" ”
The waitress at the front desk smiled and said, "Hello, the two guests of 304 did not check out, but they have never come back since they went out ten days ago." ”
"Thank you."
Bai Fan turned around and went upstairs back to room 302, closed the door, frowned, and secretly guessed in his heart: "Did something happen to them or did they get the cultivation method and ran away?" ”
"No, Sha Tian's vision is not so short-sighted, the martial arts I taught them are at most cultivated to the same level as those of intermediate-level abilities, he won't leave so willingly, then it's very likely that something happened!"
"Lord, is this the fairy world, why doesn't it look very good? The people on the road are so weak, and the clothes they wear are strange and ugly! ”
Bai Fan replied: "Not now, maybe it will be in the future, don't underestimate this world, you haven't seen a real strong person, and even the deity has to retreat when you encounter it now." ”
"Bang, bang, bang"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and someone was knocking on the door outside.
Bai Fan stepped forward to open the door, only to see a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy standing outside the door, with a thin figure, a pale face, a delicate face, and very slender eyebrows.
The young man looked at Bai Fan carefully, bent down and saluted, "May I ask if it's Lord Bai Fan?" ”
Bai Fan was stunned, and the young man's voice ...... Very sharp, I couldn't help but glance at him suspiciously, and said, "It's the deity, what's the matter with you?" ”
The young man looked happy and said respectfully: "Little ...... The man had been waiting for the adults for several days, and this time he came to bring a message for the two friends. ”
"Message?" Bai Fan asked, "What kind of message, for whom?" ”
The young man trembled slightly at this time, and he didn't know whether he was nervous or excited, "Those two friends are named Sha Tian and Bi Di, and they are now locked up in the mansion of General Zhao Ji in the east of the city, please go and rescue them." ”
"Who are you? How did you know them? Bai Fan stared at him closely.
"I ...... I am a slave of the Zhao Mansion, and the two adults, Sha Tian and Bi Di, told me that they can ...... after Lord Bai Fan rescued them You can leave with me. Although his voice was small, he kept raising his head to look at Bai Fan, without the slightest fear.
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
Bai Fan suddenly coughed a few times, causing Mei Jian and the others to be nervous for a while, "You go back first, tell the two of them, and I will go to save them." ”
"Villain farewell" The young man walked out of the door in small steps backwards, and gently closed the door.
Bai Fan sat down at the table, his fingers lightly tapping on the table, closing his eyes and pondering, he was thinking about whether this was a trap, after all, the secret of the reincarnation now has an incomparable attraction for the supernatural......
After a long time, Bai Fan showed a sneer on his face, "Let's go, what should come will always come, and what should be killed will be killed after all." ”
He didn't go directly to the east of the city, but came to a teahouse in the north of the city, it was already strange enough to open a teahouse in troubled times, not to mention that this teahouse was still open in a slum area, and there was no food and clothing to drink?
Of course not, this teahouse is just a disguise, its real identity is Tingfeng Pavilion's branch in Zhaocheng, Tingfeng Pavilion is one of the largest intelligence agencies of the human race, does not obey any forces, does not participate in any battles, only does intelligence trading, clearly marked the price of Tong Su is not bullied, whether it is a stranger or a pariah, as long as there is money and anyone's business, he does it, it looks inconspicuous, in fact, the hidden strength is very strong, from he can open the branch to small cities like Zhaocheng and Murong City, but no force dares to touch them, You can see it.
There were a few tables and chairs in the dark teahouse, and there was no tea customer, Bai Fan walked up to the shopkeeper and said, "I want to buy information." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at him and shouted, "Pick up the customer." ”
Then a young and beautiful woman came up and smiled, "Guest, please come with me." ”
"Is this to a brothel?" Huijing didn't know why, so he muttered softly, causing the shopkeeper to give him a blank look.
Bai Fan intended to let Mei Jian and the others understand the basic situation of the origin world as soon as possible, so he took them into an antique room with the maids who followed the maid of the Listening Wind Pavilion, and there were two guards at the door who were all superpowers, and one of them had an aura of even a high-level superability, such a person turned out to be just a doorkeeper, which made Bai Fan can't help but think a little higher about the Tingfeng Pavilion.
There was a middle-aged man sitting opposite the door, this person was also wearing a cyan robe, and there was a wooden bookshelf standing behind him, who was holding a book and reading intently, and there was an old man standing behind him, his breath was very faint.
The beautiful maid walked up to him and whispered, "Master, a guest has arrived." ”
The middle-aged man put down the book in his hand, looked at Bai Fan and the others, his pupils shrank, and he got up and said, "Distinguished guest, please take a seat." ”
Bai Fan said indifferently: "No need, we still have something to do, let's start trading directly." ”
"Okay", the middle-aged man nodded and said, "Do you want to buy the information inside Zhao City, or the intelligence outside Zhao City?" ”
Bai Fan was stunned and said, "Is there any difference?" ”
The middle-aged man showed a smug look and smiled: "If it's information outside Zhao Cheng, I'll have to find the archive next, if it's ...... inside Zhao City" He pointed to his head and said, "It's all here." ”
Bai Fan threw a gold bar on his table with a snap and said, "I want all the information of Zhao Cheng and Zhao Ji." ”
"Zhao Ji?" The middle-aged man frowned, a look of displeasure.
Seeing this, Bai Fan asked, "You have a sad face, don't you?" ”
"No," the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "It's just that the name is disgusting." ”
Then he said: "Zhao Ji, the deputy commander of the Zhaocheng Ability Army, this person's real name is unknown, the first time he appeared was in the Black Mountain Village thirty miles away from Zhao City, this village is nominally a Terran Settlement Village, but in fact it is a robber nest, ruled by two high-level abilities, Zhao Ji was caught in the cottage when he passed by, and then he was tortured, and experienced a very humiliating time, and later when Zhao Cheng sent troops to crusade against the Black Mountain Village, he accidentally awakened the ability, and on the spot, the bandits of the Black Mountain Village were skinned one by one, and the bones of the whole body were tortured to death, Later, he was taken by Zhao Dong, the son of the Zhao family at that time, that is, the current lord of Zhao City, and gave him the name Zhao Ji, and brought him back to Zhao Cheng to cultivate, and it took only five years to cultivate to the realm of a high-level supernatural person, and he was named the deputy commander, and his talent and combat power were very amazing. ”
Bai Fan asked, "What is this person's ability attributes?" What does an elemental avatar look like? ”
The middle-aged man said: "His ability is an extremely rare 'bloodline' ability, this person rarely shoots in front of people, and the people who have seen him shoot are basically dead, so ...... His elemental incarnation has always been a mystery. ”
"Bloodline", Bai Fan looked at him for a moment and said, "How many people are there in Zhao Ji's mansion?" ”
"This person is unscrupulous and conceited, he has always been mysterious and secretive, and he doesn't like to come into contact with outsiders, so there are at most a dozen intermediate-level abilities, and he is probably the only one with high-level abilities."
Bai Fan nodded, glanced at the books on his desk and said, "If you don't read the Three Kingdoms, you don't read the Water Margin, these two books are not suitable for you." ”
"What do you mean by that?" The middle-aged man was surprised when he saw Bai Fan recognize these two books at a glance.
Bai Fan said: "Read less about the Water Margin, and the blood and qi are just easy to dispute." I have always read the Three Kingdoms, and I have experienced the sophistication of the world. Both of these books are books that teach rebellion, so it is not appropriate for people with vested interests like you to read them. ”
"Vested interests?" The middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said, "How do you know that I have a vested interest?" ”
Bai Fan sneered: "As an ordinary person with no special abilities, you can sit in the position of the master of the city branch of the Wind Listening Pavilion, aren't you still a vested interest?" ”
The middle-aged man said bitterly: "If a person drinks water, he knows the warmth and coldness." ”
"There's still something important to do, farewell."
Bai Fan was turning to leave, and the middle-aged man said behind him: "Let me tell you one more piece of information, it is rumored that Zhao Ji is a man, but in Zhao Cheng, she has always been dressed as a woman." ”
Bai Fan paused and said, "Thank you." ”
It wasn't until after they left that the middle-aged man found that Bai Fan had thrown a whole gold bar, but he didn't ask the price.
"With such a generous shot, dressed in an ancient shirt, he exudes an extremely confident temperament from the inside out, like the rumored 'Chosen One', and he even understands the ancient books of 10,000 years ago, this is not simple, was he warning me just now? It's going to change, is this person worth ......?"
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, as if he was making a difficult decision, and after a long time, he sighed: "Forget it, let's wait and see for a while." ”
At this time, Bai Fan took five people straight to Zhao Ji's Mansion in the east of the city, although Zhao Cheng and Murong Cheng were coercive for a radius of 100 miles, but for the entire human race, it was still not worth mentioning, Bai Fan naturally would not take it seriously, even if Zhao Cheng also had the existence of Murong Ancestor, but he himself was not what it used to be, and he did not want to be the enemy of the entire Zhao City this time, only against Zhao Ji alone.
