Is it really the hot and cold world? In the face of this group of people, Li Ding felt a sense of disgust in his heart, and turned around and wanted to walk towards the forest.

However, the old man suddenly turned around and said, "This son, please stay, please listen to what the old man says, and it's not too late to go." ”

Li Ding can be said to have no good impression of this old man who obviously has good strength, but he has to hide his strength, so he said coldly: "If you want to say thank you, you don't have to." ”

"Why did Childe say this, can help when he sees injustice, thank you for that is necessary, I was busy taking care of the child just now, and I ask Childe to forgive me. The old man said.

"Don't call me a son, I'm a mountain village man. That's it, I'll go. The corners of Li Ding's mouth twitched.

"Childe said with a smile, Childe should also go to the royal city, then our destination is the same, this distance is not far, it is not close, I want to ask Childe to serve as a guard for us on the next journey, I wonder if Childe is willing?" the old man said urgently.

Li Ding frowned, he didn't have a good feeling in his heart, so why bother walking all the way. Besides, his whereabouts are really not suitable for disclosure, so he said: "I still have my own business, while it is still early, I advise you to hurry up." ”

However, as soon as Li Ding took a step, a person intervened diagonally, and said with a smile: "Thank you little brother for just making a righteous move, I was busy counting things just now, and I neglected my little brother." If it weren't for my little brother, I would have suffered a heavy loss, and I wouldn't be in a hurry to leave, this little meaning is not a tribute, and I ask you to accept it. ”

It turned out to be the gorgeously dressed middle-aged man who spoke, and the middle-aged man handed a small cloth bag to Li Ding.

"What do you mean?" Li Ding's eyes lit up.

"Here are five hundred gold coins, if the little brother has to go. It can be regarded as the reward for the little brother's help, although it is a little less. But please also ask the little brother to laugh. The middle-aged man said with a charming smile.

Who knew that the middle-aged man's words had just exited, next to another carriage. A big man in blue said with a disdainful face: "Boss Zhao is really generous, and he is embarrassed to use other people's money to pay for it." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man called Boss Zhao's face sank, and said to the blue-clothed man: "Boss Zheng, Boss Feng just left you and I and ran away by myself, and I don't even care about his brother's life or death, what's wrong with his money? That is, I have a fast hand, if I slow down, you don't want to take the things in Boss Feng's carriage." ”

The corner of Boss Zheng's mouth twitched and said, "My brother only broke his hand." But he's not dead yet. After all, there are more than five hundred gold coins on his carriage, right? I agree with Father Jin's proposal, as long as this prince agrees to be our escort, all the gold coins in Boss Feng's carriage will be regarded as payment. Plus, I'll add another three hundred gold coins. ”

"You ......" Boss Zhao's eyes widened, he was angry, and he was about to say something more, when the old man known as Daddy Jin spoke: "Okay, two bosses, you have also seen it." I thought that there would be officers and soldiers patrolling at any time in the past few days, and the road would be more peaceful, but I didn't want to run into bandits. I don't want to take any more risks, do you want to take it yourself? ”

Boss Zhao and Boss Zheng glanced at each other. Boss Zhao suddenly said angrily: "Okay, I don't want Boss Feng's gold coins, but I can only give out three hundred gold coins at most." ”

Boss Zheng snorted and said, "You have also seen the strength of this son." You won't lose 500 gold coins, as long as this son is willing. I'm out of five hundred. ”

The two were ostensibly talking about Li Ding's remuneration, but they were obviously hiding needles in their words. Infighting. But no matter what personal grievances they have secretly, you come and go, and you still use other people's money as remuneration, in Li Ding's opinion, you don't take him seriously at all.

Although such a large amount of gold coins could not help but make Li Ding's heart move, seeing the faces of the two, Li Ding's heart became more and more disgusted, and his face became gloomy.

As if noticing Li Ding's changes, Father Jin immediately said again: "Don't say it, as long as the son is willing, I can give it two thousand gold coins immediately, and when I get to the royal city, I will give you another heavy gift." ”

As soon as Boss Zhao and Boss Zheng heard this, they opened their mouths wide and stopped talking.

In fact, at the beginning, Li Ding was really a little moved when he heard Father Jin say that the destination was Wangcheng, but when he thought that with the old man's ability, even if it was only Ning Yuan Realm, he should be aware of his true strength.

It was a complete fluke to be able to win against the gang leader before, and thanks to the help of the old man, the old man would not know this, if he met the same opponent again, Li Ding would definitely be defeated.

In this case, the old man was still invited, and he had to make Li Ding feel that there was something strange inside.

Thinking of this, Li Ding's face remained unchanged and said: "This golden father is too high for me, but unfortunately I have other things, if I really want to thank you, I will accept the five hundred gold coins." ”

Li Ding said and stretched out his hand to Boss Zhao. Boss Zhao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly handed the money bag to Li Ding.

"Childe, why don't you think about it......" Daddy Jin stopped talking.

"If you feel that it is hot to take the money from Boss Feng, take his brother back, and the money will be considered if he pays you. ”

After Li Ding finished speaking, he took the money bag into his arms and ran quickly along the road, disappearing at the bend in an instant, leaving a group of people standing in place in a daze.

"Let's go, let's go, I don't believe that luck is really so bad, and I will meet bandits again. Boss Zhao said angrily.

"Then you pay back the money?" said Boss Zheng disdainfully.

"Giving him money means that he doesn't want to be troubled in the future, who knows if this person is one thing in front of him or another behind his back. As long as you can get to the Jade Dragon Pass safely before dark, the money for the mercenaries will be saved. ”

Hearing this, Boss Zheng sneered: "Also, so many gold coins are enough to invite the mercenaries of the Imperial Spirit Realm, and the people who can pick clothes from the dead are not necessarily masters." ”

Daddy Jin shook his head, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

Here, as soon as Li Ding turned the corner, he jumped into the forest again.

He had long been accustomed to running between the mountains and forests, and in his opinion, it was safer to move forward like this. Not only can you hide your tracks, but you can also avoid pedestrians on the road and avoid unnecessary trouble.

According to Li Ding's calculations, he had been delayed for at least a few days in Gusang City and the Beast Realm, if Liu Ling was really caught. At this time, it should have already passed the Jade Dragon Pass, and maybe it has already arrived in the royal city.

He couldn't afford to waste any more time anyway. The speed of Li Ding's progress accelerated again.

In less than two hours, the trees ahead began to thin. I saw a mountain peak as high as a thousand feet of cliffs, directly blocking his way.

And on the top of the mountain, there is a crack, as if split by thunder, from top to bottom to the end, forming a natural mountain gate in the valley below.

The two sides of the mountain gate are straight up, like a knife splitting an axe, and there is almost no focus on the steep one, which is completely a Jedi that is a one-man and cannot be opened.

This is the Jade Dragon Pass. It formed a two-sided encirclement with the ancient Sang City in the east, sandwiching the Qianli Jade Dragon Mountain Range in it, so that all the resources in the Jade Dragon Mountain Range were in the hands of the royal family.

It's just that after all, the territory is too vast, and a realm like Qianren Mountain is gradually becoming a paradise for gangsters and spirit beasts.

In the eyes of ordinary people who can't venture over the mountains, Jade Dragon Pass is the only way to the royal city.

Standing above the valley and looking from afar, Li Ding saw that there were cars and horses on the road outside the pass, a lively scene. Think about it too, although there are several slip roads to get here through different mountains. It's all here that people end up coming together.

However, when he arrived here, Li Ding was not a little excited in his heart, what worried him was that he expected such an important juncture. There must be officers and soldiers guarding him, due to the particularity of the vitality in his body, once he encounters a strong person above the state of mind. Even if he hides his aura, he will be discovered.

For a while, Li Ding couldn't help but be a little afraid. He didn't expect that the site of the battle with the gang leader just now would be so close to here, if it was discovered by the officers and soldiers who were patrolling at that time. The consequences can be imagined.

How to pass through the Jade Dragon Pass safely, he didn't have a way for a while.

In order to test the reality, Li Ding slowly descended to the valley, and gradually walked up a road, towards the wide flat land outside the mountain gate.

The roads here show signs of being repaired, and in some places further on, they are paved with smooth stones.

There was a notice board on the side of the road, and Li Ding saw that it was full of portraits, and when he stepped forward, he couldn't help but look at it, and most of them were his wanted notices.

It's just that the wanted notice depicts his previous appearance, and it seems that although his whereabouts have been leaked in the beast world, his current appearance has not been revealed.

However, looking at the words "500 million" and "whether dead or alive" marked with a red pen at the bottom of the portrait, Li Ding couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his mood calmed down after a while.

There is a red circular bird pattern above the wanted notice, which reminds Li Ding of the royal totem on the stone box in the tomb of the Jade Dragon Heavenly Monarch, and the two patterns are extremely similar, proving that the wanted notice was really issued by the Nanming royal family.

Li Ding was already deeply touched by the horror of the royal family's forces, and secretly warned in his heart that he must be more careful.

On the billboard, in addition to the wanted warrant, there are also several recruitment notices, which say that the Yulongguan Barracks is recruiting new recruits, and the realm must be above the Ning Yuan Realm. As long as you pass the selection, you will have ten second-grade Ning Yuan Pills, two third-grade Qi Replenishing Pills, and one fourth-grade Gathering Spirit Pill in a month.

Li Ding was watching as three carriages passed by him.

He turned to one side and followed, only to hear a man in a carriage saying to his companion: "This time it is considered to be earned, save the gold coins for inviting mercenaries, and the profit of this cart of medicinal materials has directly doubled." ”

His companion also smiled and said: "Yes, I don't know what happened in the mountains, I have never seen so many officers and soldiers in and out, so that the bandits are hiding, and the road has never been so quiet, if only I always made rounds from time to time." ”

"Hmph. The man suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Those grandsons have never been so dedicated, I think this must have something to do with the wanted warrant worth 500 million gold coins." ”

His companion nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Well, it's very likely, how many years have I not seen the royal family issue such a terrifying wanted warrant, and I don't know what that kid has done?"

"I heard that Zhong Linyun, the city lord of Gusang City, lost something, that thing must be extraordinary. The man wondered.

"No matter what he is, it's not for you and me to get involved, forget it, the front is coming, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth. The man's companion said suddenly.

The voices of the two of them were very low, but Li Ding, who was following behind, heard it clearly, and said in his heart that these people might not have thought that the person on the wanted notice was next to him anyway.

As the two stopped talking, Li Ding felt that the carriage next to him gradually slowed down.
