readx;?? The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Han Chen said: "Don't worry, there will be eyebrows ......"

As soon as the words fell, his figure suddenly flashed, and he instantly came to the intersection of the aisle, shouting at the pile of debris in front of him: "Come out!"

Han Chen's sudden action startled the three members of the Shi family, and the three of them subconsciously became vigilant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Is there someone? Why didn't they sense it?

Especially Miss Shi Jia, her face was even more surprised. As a two-star alchemist, her spiritual sense was much stronger than that of a martial artist, and she didn't notice anything abnormal, how could Han Chen detect any abnormalities?

There was no movement in the debris pile.

The three members of the Shi family looked at each other: Could it be that Han Chen is nervous?

A force of true power slowly condensed in his palm, and Han Chen sneered: "It seems that you want me to blast you out." ”

Just as he was about to slap his palm, a Zhang Huang's voice suddenly came from the pile of debris: "Your lord's mercy, your adult's mercy ......"

A sloppy little old man crawled in front of Han Chen in a panic while removing the debris around him.

This old man didn't have any real cultivation, he was just an ordinary person.

After looking at the old man carefully, Han Chen asked, "Who are you?"

The old man said: "My original name is Mushan, and the people here call me Lao Mu, I am the account office of the Red Knife Village, and I am the ...... who helps them do the accounts full-time" He said and kowtowed to Han Chen, and couldn't help but beg: "Don't kill me, adults, I've never done anything bad, I'm old, I can't live for many years......"

Shi Hao said coldly: "You are acting for the tiger, although you are not directly harming people, but you are also the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

The old man cried, "My lord, I can't help myself." More than forty years ago, the Qidu Mujia caravan passed through Panwang Valley and was wiped out by the Red Knife Village, and when they saw that I could calculate, they abolished my cultivation, spared my life, and locked me up here to settle accounts for them. I survived until today, I am over 70 years old, and I just want to take a breath and go home to see my wife and children. Adults just open the net......"

Shi Hao was surprised: "Qi Du Mu family, are you Qi Du Zhen Mu family?"

The old man raised his head and said expectantly: "Yes, I am the head of the Mu family in the past, my lord, do you know the Mu family, and what are they doing now?"

Shi Hao sighed, shook his head and said: "I heard from the elders that our Shi family used to have business dealings with the Mu family, but then your caravan had an accident, and the Mu family gradually declined, and now I am afraid that it has long been divided by the various forces in Qidu Town......

The old man was stunned and collapsed to the ground.

After a long time, he beat his chest and cried out, "Iniquity, evil...... It's all my fault, it was my utilitarian heart at the beginning, and when I heard the encouragement of others, I lobbied the owner of the family and transported most of the family's wealth to Tianfu City for sale. If it weren't for the Mu family suddenly losing so many resources, it wouldn't have fallen to where it is today. ”

Shi Hao and Shi Bing's hearts jumped when they heard this, and the two of them glanced at each other together, and the fear in their hearts was fully revealed.

Because, they mobilized most of their family's wealth to transport it to Tianfu City, and they were also instigated by others.

Shi Hao hurriedly asked, "Do you know who the person who instigated you is?"

The old man said: "He claims to be the foreign deacon of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, and he specializes in buying all kinds of products everywhere. ”

Shi Bing turned his face and asked Shi Hao, "Big brother, contact the person from the Shi family, but that's what you said too?"

Shi Hao nodded, his face pale.

You don't need to think about it to know what to do.

One thing may be an accident, but if several things are true, someone must be behind the scenes.

Shi Bing said angrily: "The Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce is really despicable, what do you say about buying goods at a high price, but it tricked us into Panwang Valley and let the thieves come to rob us." ”

Shi Hao said: "In this way, they can deter other small forces, so that they do not dare to go to Tianfu City to participate in trade without permission, if those small forces want to do business, they can only go through the channel of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce." ”

Looking at the old man coldly, Shi Hao asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the patron behind this Red Knife Village should be the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, right?"

The old man has been there for decades, and he has heard more or less about the information behind the scenes. He also heard the meaning of Shi Hao's words, and said indignantly: "Yes, it's the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce." I always thought that the incident of the Mu family was an accident, but when you say this, I am sober, and they have premeditated it at all! In order to monopolize commercial transactions, they have used such inferior means, which is simply unconscionable!"

The three members of the Shi family also had palpitations. If they hadn't met Han Chen this time, their ending would not have been much better than that of the Mu family.

It's a pity that the Tian Yuan Chamber of Commerce is an imperial giant, and even if they know who is behind it, they are powerless to retaliate.

Han Chen also didn't have a good impression of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, and after a few people finished speaking, he opened his mouth and asked, "Where is the Red Knife Village Library?"

The old man looked at Shi Hao. He didn't go out before, but he only knew that the Red Knife Village had been attacked. In terms of age and cultivation, Shi Hao is the highest among the crowds, and he naturally thinks that everyone is dominated by Shi Hao.

Shi Hao looked at Han Chen embarrassedly and said, "The Red Knife Village was broken by this lord by himself, and he has the final say on everything." ”

Break through the Red Knife Village on your own?

The old man's face immediately changed. How strong the Red Knife Village is, he knows best, but the three Mu families may not be his opponents. How old is this young man? With such a strong strength, he must be the core disciple of a certain super force.

The old man hurriedly bowed his body and said respectfully, "Please come with me." ”

The four men followed the old man and walked deeper into the aisle.

The old man lost his cultivation and walked slowly. The girl had nothing to do, and while walking, she was close to Han Chentao: "Your intuition is really sharp, I am a two-star alchemist, and I didn't find this old man, but you did." ”

Han Chen smiled but said nothing. Shi Hao said: "Miss doesn't know, my lord is not only strong in force, but also a three-star intermediate alchemist!"

The girl covered her mouth and exclaimed, and the old man's eyes also lit up.

A three-star intermediate alchemist, in the eyes of the girl, is an existence that is higher than her master's grade, but in the eyes of the old man, it is a big man who is above the chief worshipper of the Red Knife Village and the alchemist Hua Li!

No wonder he was able to defeat the bandits of the Red Knife Village alone.

Since ancient times, beauties love heroes, and girls who are in love for the first time can't help but reveal a strange emotion in their eyes.

She asked a little shyly, "I...... My name is Shi Meilan, can I be lucky enough to know the name of my lord?"

Shi Hao and Shi Bing smiled secretly: Miss did too right, if she can climb the big tree of Han Chen, the Shi family will designate Feihuang Tengda!

Helplessly, the falling flowers were intentional, the flowing water was ruthless, Han Chen didn't look back, and spit out two words lightly: "Han Chen." ”

This tone made Shi Meilan's heart feel a sense of loss, she sighed secretly, and changed the topic: "Are you also here to participate in this National Alchemist Competition?"

"Alchemist Competition?" Han Chen turned his face and asked, "I've been practicing outside, I haven't heard of it, what's going on?"

The three members of the Shi family all showed a bit of a strange look.

Shi Bing said: "The National Alchemist Competition is held once every three years and is hosted by the Imperial Alchemist Guild. This is one of the great events of the Empire, haven't you heard of it?"

Spreading his hands, Han Chen replied very dryly: "I really don't know anything." ”

Seeing that Han Chen didn't seem to be lying, Shi Meilan explained: "This National Alchemist Competition is the highest alchemy competition in the empire, and the purpose is to find the most potential alchemy geniuses in the country, so only alchemists under the age of twenty are allowed to participate." ”

Han Chen asked again: "What about participating?"

Shi Meilan said with a smile: "Of course, there are great benefits! If you can enter the top eight in the competition, you can get rich rewards, including martial arts cheats, elixirs, and precious alchemy materials." You also know the essence of the Alchemists' Guild, the prizes they give, but even those first-line powers will covet treasures. ”

The four major forces of the empire, if you talk about wealth, of course, the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce is the most. But when it comes to collecting, it's the Alchemist's Guild that heads the way. It's not a treasure, and it will never fall into the eyes of those alchemists.

Shi Meilan continued: "Not only that, but being able to get a place in the National Alchemy Competition proves your potential, and when the time comes, all the major forces of the empire will throw olive branches to you. You can choose to join the Alchemists' Guild and become a member of their internal affairs first, and you can also freely choose other sect forces. In short, no matter what, you will be able to obtain countless cultivation resources. Therefore, every time there is a competition, young alchemists from all over the world are flocking to it. ”

Han Chen was quite moved, Shi Meilan saw Han Chen's imminent thoughts, and then puffed: "My lord, you are so powerful, it is more than enough to advance to the quarterfinals, you should go and sign up." ”

Han Chen thought about it and didn't agree immediately, just nodded and said, "I'll think about it." ”

While everyone was talking, more than a dozen bends had been bypassed, and a wide stone door appeared in front of everyone.

"My lord, this is the big treasury of the Red Knife Village. The old man bowed.

At this time, the bandits are dying and running, and there are no guards to guard them. The old man took out a metal sigil, buckled it to the groove of the door panel, twisted it hard, and the stone door slowly opened.

The old man went in first, and said, "I have no strength, and they don't allow me to run around, so the big boss told me to take care of the key to the storehouse." ”

Since there was no trap triggered, Han Chen and the others had no scruples, and the four of them immediately walked into the warehouse.

The treasury is actually a natural cave, about 100 meters in length and width, and all kinds of materials are neatly placed on wooden shelves, and the number is really comparable to that of a local power.

The three members of the Shi family couldn't help but be amazed, and Han Chen also said with some indignation: "These hateful bandits, I don't know how many people they have harmed, have collected such rich assets. ”

However, although there were a lot of these materials, to Han Chen, there was almost no real value, and they were even inferior to the Heavenly Doom Valley Emperor Extreme Ancient Hall that he had visited.

Thinking about it, it can be relieved, what Red Knife Village dares to rob can only be those low-level forces, even if they are low-level forces, how can there be treasures that Han Chen can look at?
