Chapter 49: The Femme Fatale

"Guest officer..."

The shopkeeper went upstairs with a tray.

"What's the matter?" Nightmare asked impatiently.

"This... When the guest was leaving, he asked the little one to make two pots of tea and bring them up, saying that they were for the corner... For the guests. ”

There was a bang, the sound of the cup falling to the ground, and the nightmare's face darkened, and he endured his anger and said, "Go down." ”

The shopkeeper paused, and reluctantly retreated with the tray.

"What else is hidden? You've long been exposed! The nightmare roared, and those Tang Sect Ming Sects in the corner of the wall showed their shapes one by one.

They stood in place awkwardly, not knowing what to do, especially when the shopkeeper came up to bring them tea, they were even more embarrassed!

The two messengers who had gone to invite Tang Jing before also went upstairs and walked to Nightmare's side, and one of them asked hesitantly, "President, are you going to let that woman go like this?" ”

"Spare it?" Nightmare snorted coldly, "This woman who doesn't know what to do has embarrassed me again and again, slapped me in the face, will I let her go like this?" ”

……

Tang Jing left the tavern and walked aimlessly down the street.

She completely offended the nightmare today, especially the things she told the shopkeeper to do before leaving, did she have her brain in water?

Since you still pay out of your own pocket to invite them to tea?

Tang Jing smiled, I guess the nightmare should hate the itchy teeth, right?

Calling up the friend column, Tang Jing reported safety to Konggu Youlan, and sent a private chat voice to K.

A few seconds later, the voice picked up.

"It's really strange, since you're looking for me, what? Have you figured out how you want me to repay the favor? The other party said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Tang Jing climbed over a wall, sat on it with two legs, and said sullenly, "I disappointed President K, and I haven't thought about it for the time being, but I was invited to tea by President Nightmare just now." ”

K paused, the expression on his face becoming serious, "Did Nightmare find out about that day?" ”

How so? He was sure that no one would know about it that day except himself.

If there was a third person who knew, he would have told Nightmare the news a long time ago, and he wouldn't have let Changle Fang find out today.

"I think this thing looks like someone is deliberately guiding, you shouldn't have offended anyone, they want to pour dirty water on you, right?"

Although this dirty water is not splashed by the wrong person.

But only the two of them know about this, and in the eyes of outsiders, isn't it just dirty water?

Tang Jing's eyes lit up, it was good to talk to smart people, and he could draw inferences, "President K, can you find out who is deliberately giving nightmare news?" ”

Hearing this, K raised his eyebrows, "Is this a matter of returning favors?" ”

Tang Jing twitched her lips and stared at the marble on the ground speechlessly, "President K, it's good if you're happy, just forget it!" ”

"Just kidding, I'll have someone check on this, and I'll let you know when there's news."

"Good!"

Tang Jing hung up the line and jumped off the wall, and the bad mood brought by the Hongmen banquet was now even stronger.

In fact, when K said that someone was deliberately guiding, she already had an answer in her heart.

It's just the bottom line of human nature that instigates her, and everything must be based on evidence.

Maybe some people, maybe they don't have a bottom line at all...

"Ouch!"

A crisp voice sounded, and the girl who was knocked down got up and pointed at Tang Jing and complained, "What's the matter with you?" Don't you look at the one in front of you when you walk? ”

Tang Jing tilted her head, "Little girl, you were the one who hit the person, right?" ”

"You hit me! If you don't apologize, forget it, you have to beat it up, you! ”

"You're the femme fatale?" The girl's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Tang Jing with a look of surprise, "No, I mean, you are the one who is as quiet as water?" ”

"I'm as still as water, but I don't know which femme fatale you are talking about." Tang Jing bypassed her and walked forward.

"Hey! You wait for me! The girl trotted forward and grabbed Tang Jing, "Don't go yet." ”

Tang Jing lowered his eyes and glanced at it, and pulled out his arm without a trace, "Girl, what do you want to do?" If you want to touch porcelain, you've got the wrong person! ”

"Oh, I just wanted to be friends with you! If you don't agree, I won't let you go! The girl winked innocently and smiled proudly.

Tang Jing's eyelids jumped when she heard this smack, whose child is this? Seventeen or eighteen, right?

Tang Jing held her forehead, she didn't look at the yellow calendar in the game today, and the bad things came one after another, "What do you want to do?" ”

System: Little Peach applies to add you as a friend.

Tang Jing looked at this friend application dialog box inexplicably, no, no.

"If you don't add me, I won't let you go today!" Little Peach pouted and looked at Tang Jing fixedly, afraid that she would run away.

Helpless, Tang Jing could only pass through the other party's expression.

"Okay, right?"

"Hee-hee... Sister, where are you going? Take me with you! The little peach had to stick to Tang Jing's body inch by inch.

"Yes..."Tang Jing gradually raised a smile.

"It's so beautiful..."Little Peach stared at this face blankly, no wonder Brother Wudao likes her, such a beautiful sister, she also likes...

"If you can catch up with me." Tang Jing turned around and climbed the wall on the side of the street lightly, "Little girl, goodbye!" ”

In a blink of an eye, Tang Jing's figure disappeared behind the wall.

"You!" Little Peach stomped her feet angrily, her hands on her hips, "Hmph! I don't like you! You wait! The next time we meet, you'll have to take care of me! ”

Of course Tang Jing didn't hear the little girl's words.

At this time, she was staggering to the blacksmith shop.

"Two dogs, 10 sets of stainless steel arrows."

Stainless steel arrows are the best arrows in Tangmen at present, a group of 9999, each group sells 100 taels, Tang Jing lost 1000 taels on the counter.

Her quiver can only fit 10 sets, and the quiver is not counted in the weight, and if she could, she would like to carry 50 sets at a time and run a few fewer trips.

"Where's your shopkeeper?" Tang Jing asked.

"In the backyard." The second dog took time out of his busy schedule to reply.

Tang Jing opened the curtain and walked into the backyard, took out the black box, and sat on the stone bench with his chin in tow and stared blankly.

"Rare guest!"

"Why do you have time to see me today, an old man?"

Tang Jing said sullenly, "Shopkeeper Yan, what is this thing?" ”

Yan Ming shook his head and said with a mysterious expression, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ”

Cut! What's the big deal, Tang Jing lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, got up and left.

Leaving Yan Ming's blacksmith shop, Tang Jing went to the pharmacy to replenish the potions consumed by the guild's declaration of war, and then went to the snack bar to buy water and dry food.

She felt that she was working hard, and she was suddenly idle, and she was uncomfortable, and she always wanted to find something to make her life a little more fulfilling.

After the supplies were prepared, Tang Jing teleported from Chang'an to Yangzhou, and took a boat from Yangzhou to Kou Island.

A large flock of seagulls flew by, and Tang Jing bracked her head to enjoy the sunset on the horizon.

"Would you like some wine to warm up?"

Well?

Tang Jing looked back at the source of the voice suspiciously.

"Old man, I'm good at this, so I brewed some myself, try it?"

"Okay!" Tang Jing walked to the position opposite the old man and sat down.

There was only a simple small square table, a jug of wine, and two broken glasses.

The ferryman was a young man, Tang Jing just glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze.

"That's the old man's only son, it's a pity that he was born a child who can't speak, his old son and mother went early, and now he can only follow me to be a ferryman to eat."

"Life is like this, there are joys and sorrows." Tang Jing replied lightly.

The old man sighed and cupped the broken wine glasses one after another.

Tang Jing turned his gaze to the horizon.

The NPCs in Datang have their own way of life, they are like a small social body, and they also have the distinction between rich and poor.

She also has no right to interfere.

"Would the guest be interested in listening to the old man's story?"

Tang Jing dragged his chin and looked at the old man, "Let's hear it!" ”

"I heard from the older generation that in the sea area of this area, in the middle of the night, there is often a lonely boat haunting."

"Everyone in the village is saying that it is Wu Wei, the hero of our village, repeating the deeds of the ferryman before his death."

"According to legend, Wu Wei's parents died early, he grew up eating a hundred family meals, often messed with life when he was a teenager, and only when he became an adult did he turn back and become one of the ferrymen in the village."

"One year, the thieves on Ko Island invaded our village, and the villagers hid in fear, only Wu Wei bravely stepped forward, he led several young and strong people in the village, loaded the boat with flammable liquid, and filled it with supplies, and took the helm alone to lead away the thieves."

"It wasn't until late in the evening that the village dared to show its face, and by that time the village was in shambles, and the thieves were nowhere to be seen, except for a few boats in the sea that were burning with fire."

"People only learned from the mouths of those young people that it was Wu Wei who filled the boat with flammable liquid to divert the thieves and save the entire village."

There has always been a saying in the village that only those who are destined can board Wu Wei's ferry. Only those who are destined can obtain Wu Wei's courage and wisdom..."

Tang Jing was listening with relish, and suddenly, she squinted her eyes and stared directly at the old man.

NPCs don't take the initiative to tell the player stories, they usually act like they are cold, after all, in their eyes, the player is just a bundling person who can be used in various ways.

Of course, you will only take the initiative to post a quest unless the player triggers a certain condition for posting a quest.

Tang Jing has always had a keen sense of smell for tasks, and she immediately grabbed the last paragraph of the old man's words: "Only people who are destined can board Wu Wei's ship!" ”

Sometimes NPCs won't come to you in the form of a quest, they will choose to talk to you, but often it contains some important information, depending on how high your own comprehension is!

Tang Jing didn't know how she had triggered the old man's initiative to open his mouth just now.

But she wanted to go and see, at midnight tonight!

Now the boats are already on the sea, they have their own walking routes, and if they do not reach their destination, they cannot turn around.

Tang Jing could only wait for the docking, and returned by boat.
