After several considerations, Luo Chen finally chose a C-level task.

The task is relatively easy, to hunt or capture alive the famous thief in Qingzhou, the golden hand - Langlixing.

When it comes to this wave, he can be described as a legend in the world of thieves. As for why he is so called, it is only because his own cultivation is not high, about the middle stage of Yunqi, but he can come and go freely in the major formations, and there is not a single tile left behind where he has stolen.

In recent days, the behavior of Langli has become more and more rampant, not to mention stealing the wealth of ordinary officials and eunuchs, but he has continuously looted four industries outside Qingwu. Not only that, but after he ransacked the fourth estate, he threatened that on the night of demon feeding in May, he would definitely visit the fifth estate.

With such a provocative behavior of Hongguoguo, how could Qingwu swallow his anger.

However, if you count the time, it's the beginning of May, less than twenty days before the night of the Blood Moon. If you remove the delay on the road, Luo Chen doesn't have a lot of time left.

Speaking of which, Luo Chen can't admire the intelligence of Langlixing, the four industries he looted have their own characteristics, the refined iron ore in Jicheng, the spiritual jade mine in Licheng, the yew forest in Hancheng, and the cold water spring in the extreme north of Biancheng. The disparate and unconnected cities are a bit confusing for a while.

Luo Chen was not in a hurry, and in the remaining two days, he sorted out the information related to the four cities, and at the same time looked at the relevant information of the four industries.

On the afternoon of 10 May, he packed his bags and led the fire to carry out his first "case-solving mission."

Luo Chen went north alone, walked for ten days, took a detour to see the situation of the four industries in front of him, and finally stopped in front of another city at dusk on May 23.

Lucheng, a small city in the north of Qingzhou, has a small population and underdeveloped economy, and is a city that ordinary people can easily ignore.

However, Qingwuyuan has an industry here, and it is a relatively important ore industry, the Fire Refining Jade Valley.

There are two peaks in the inner courtyard of Qingwu that are active volcanoes, and a large amount of fire refining jade is needed every year to maintain the normal operation of the formation, and its raw materials basically come from here.

In addition, there are two reasons for Luo Chen to go straight to Lu City.

First, he found that the four industries that were looted had a common feature, all of which produced raw materials for the five elements, and the first four industries already contained the four attributes of metal, earth, wood, and water. Second, after he checked most of the information, he finally found one of the few mines in Qingzhou that were rich in fire attribute raw materials, and Lucheng was the only industry affiliated with Qingwu.

Because of this, Luo Chen hurried all the way without hurrying, and passed by to recognize his theft methods.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Lucheng was dyed with orange and red, perhaps because it was far away from the interior of Qingzhou, far away from the ferocity of the wilderness, and away from the war 10,000 years ago, the tranquility made the city's defense extremely weak.

The city in front of you, the three-foot-thick bluestone is built into a not-so-high city wall, the bronze is cast into a two-zhang and two-zhang city gate, in front of the door is a two-zhang wide but long dried moat, walking on the half-foot-thick ironwood suspension bridge that is slightly swaying, there will be three or two harsh creaks from the soles of the feet.

In front of the drawbridge, seven or eight veterans gathered together, and from time to time let out a few inappropriate laughs, and their eyes would glance at the passing women from time to time.

"Lu Cheng, how is it not the same as what is recorded in the data. ”

On the steep slope not far away, Luo Chen looked at the destination of this trip, and at the same time patted Huo'er's neck, and walked slowly towards the city gate.

"Brother, that little girl's skin last night, the trick of serving people is so good........"

"Don't mention this stubble, that annoying little goblin, look at how my brother will clean her up tonight. ”

"You are not allowed to ride within a hundred zhang in front of Lucheng, so don't hurry down and ....."

"Hey, what about you, the boy on the sick horse. ”

"Hey, boy, you're deaf, come down for Lao Tzu. ”

At this time, before the old veterans could finish their words, one of the veterans raised his hand and shouted, and the other veteran with a scar on his face drew his knife and walked towards the bridge.

At the same time, the remaining veterans stopped laughing, grabbed the hundred-fold knife at their feet, and stepped forward with cold eyes.

For a while, the pedestrians on the suspension bridge were scattered, leaving only a thin horse in the center of the bridge and a young man on horseback who bowed his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hey, boy, you're deaf, I'm asking you. The old man of Scar came up with his knife in annoyance, and looked up and down at the man and horse standing still in front of him. The few behind him put their hands around their waists, and they all put on a playful look.

Seeing that the young man did not reply, the old man with the scar twisted his neck a few times, as if he had two points of anger, raised the back of the knife and pulled it towards the horse's neck.

“... Bang ....."

Then, with a dull sound, the figure of the Scar Veteran flew upside down into the river, and Huo'er impatiently returned to his hind legs.

"Damn, this damn horse dares to kick me, brothers, kill this for me......"

Before he finished roaring, the remaining veterans immediately pulled out the knives in their hands, and took a step forward in unison, angry at the master in front of him.

"It's ....... Huo'er, you're in trouble again. ”

“... Sneezing...."

In the noise in his ears, Luo Chen also woke up from his contemplation, and after seeing the situation clearly, he scolded in a low voice. However, Huo'er only turned his head and snorted in response.

"Brother, my stubborn donkey is so offended, I'm sorry. Luo Chen smiled dryly and said no to the veteran who was rolling in the river.

Unbeknownst to him, another chubby veteran in front of him stepped forward half a step forward and shouted angrily: "Boy, do you think that with a fluttering word of apology, this matter will be over." ”

"Oh"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked calmly: "Then, according to this old brother, how should this matter be handled." ”

The old fat soldier skillfully brushed the blade with one hand, paced back and forth around the fire twice, and then said, "So, your sick horse kicked my brother and chopped off his hind legs, so that my brother could breathe a sigh of relief." ”

At this time, the scar veteran climbed the suspension bridge with great difficulty, and the three-inch-long scar under the corner of his eye was black and red due to congestion, giving people a kind of Wang Ba's momentum that was not angry and arrogant.

"Fuck it, don't cut this stinky donkey today, my mother's surname is not Zhang. The scar veteran burst out of his mouth with an angry curse, stepped forward in three or two steps, lunged with a heavy waist, and raised the hundred-fold knife with all his strength.

"Choke"

Luo Chen waved his hand and shot out a copper coin, and after hitting the blade, it hit the scarred veteran's ankle.

"Click"

The hundred-fold knife came out of his hand, pierced the burlap shoe on his left foot, and pierced it firmly on the bridge deck, while the scarred veteran staggered to the ground with a pain in his ankle.

The old fat soldier saw that the situation was wrong, and his face changed suddenly, but he looked at the young man's cloth and white coat on the horseback, his cultivation was not obvious, and the horse was also an inferior horse, so it shouldn't be a person like a young master.

It's just that the tone in the old fat soldier's mouth softened a little, and said, "Heh, you have two means in this later life." ”

Under the repeated entanglement of these people, Luo Chen's heart felt a little more unhappy, and he said in a deep voice with a cold face: "Hmph, if I didn't have these two means, wouldn't I be at your disposal today." ”

"Uh, boy, that's a big breath. ”

The old man with Scar got up again, blushing his old face, and pounced again.

At this time, Luo Chen lost his patience, took out a token with his backhand, and shouted: "Open your dog eyes wide, recognize the identity of the master, and we will make a good living." ”

He didn't want to be too concerned with these veterans, after all, no matter what level of soldier he was, he always had an official name on his back, and it was not good to count too much. But these veterans, such a deadly entanglement, is really annoying.

"What, you ......."

"No...... You..... You are a disciple of the Qingwu Inner Courtyard........"

For a while, the old fat soldier trembled violently, and hurriedly bowed with a few people behind him, and the old face of the scar veteran who was holding back turned black, and he simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dizzy.

"The left sentence is a boy, and the right sentence is a posterity, and the previous shouting is not very smooth. ”

Luo Chen turned over and dismounted, picked up the hundred-folded knife on the ground, and said: "One threatens to chop off the horse's legs, and the other wants to kill the horse, why don't you two say anything." ”

"This ...... This one...... Misunderstanding, misunderstanding....."

The old fat soldier raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said in a closed voice: "It's not early...... Didn't know you earlier..... The villain is blind and doesn't recognize your identity, that's ......"

"Alright, what's your name? ”

"Villain, Wang Dafu, this idiot is called Zhang Erbao. ”

While speaking, Wang Dafu hurriedly trotted over, kicked Zhang Erbao who was pretending to be dizzy, and arched his hand: "The villain is clumsy for a while, and he is willing to admit punishment, and ask the adult to surrender." ”

"The master doesn't have this leisure, go back to you and go to the peak and say on your own. ”

When a few people looked up again, Luo Chen caught fire, and his figure had disappeared around the corner of the city gate. A few veterans shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and after sighing a few times, they each squatted back in front of the bridge with a muffled voice.

It didn't take long for Luo Chen to cross the less noisy main street, and then through the quieter side street, and stopped in front of a village courtyard in the west of the city.

Yubaozhuang, one of the few magnificent manors in Lucheng.

The grandeur in this mostly refers to yellow and white vulgar things, because the main entrance of Zhuangzi is a pair of gilded door knocks, there is a jade lion the size of half a zhang on the left and right sides, and there are four slaves holding long sticks in front of the door.

"Hey, boy, look up, this isn't where you came from. ”

Before Luo Chen could gain a firm foothold, a servant in front of the door waved his hand and shouted, his arrogance was a little more than that of the previous veteran.

Luo Chen was a little angry for a while, could it be that the strange way of dealing with people here is a tradition.

Without talking too much nonsense with him, he took out the token again and gave him a cold look. To deal with this kind of person, it is better to talk nonsense or something, it is better to directly state your identity.

Sure enough, after seeing the token clearly, the slave's chin was raised and lowered stiffly.

"Greetings, please move to the village. ”

The minds of the four slaves were quick, and they stopped talking about the previous offense, and after bending open the main door, they all arched their hands in a gesture of greeting.

"This ...... The reaction is very fast, so I won't bother with you. ”

Luo Chen waved the reins of his horse to a servant nearby, and then strode in.
