Out of the teleportation hall, to the street, this is the capital of a country, and it is also extremely prosperous, although it is the same small empire, but it is much stronger than the Gal Empire. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a tea country, because it is rich in famous tea, and the name of the tea country comes from this.

Tea vendors are lining the streets, and the business is excellent, and these buyers come from all over the Eastern Regions, and even some merchants from thousands of miles away choose to come here to buy tea.

And Fu Ran's mission this time is in the capital of this tea country.

After identifying the direction, Fu Ran went to the business.

The merchant, the publisher of this mission, is also well-known in the capital, with more than ten shops in the entire capital.

Coming to the outside of the Shang Mansion, looking at the not luxurious mansion in front of him, Fu Ran was a little surprised, according to the task, this merchant also has quite a lot of property, but this mansion is not much outstanding, and even a little shabby, compared with other mansions around, it is much worse than other mansions around.

However, Fu Ran will not judge people by their appearance, so he came to the house immediately and explained his intention to the family.

When he heard that Fu Ran was a student of the East Academy, the family looked respectful and hurriedly invited Fu Ran into the mansion.

While waiting for Mo Yo for half a cup of tea in the front hall, a middle-aged man appeared, and a hearty laugh spread.

"Your hospital is really fast, I just released the task yesterday, I didn't expect to come today. ”

Fu Ran looked away, middle-aged in his forties, with a beard, looking a little rough, wearing a black and white robe, although the workmanship is good, but the fabric is average.

"I'm a freshman this year, this is my identity jade card, and I hope to talk to me about this mission. Fu Ran spoke directly, he planned to complete this task as soon as possible, and then go to the Wenshui Empire to find Bai Ruoshui.

The middle-aged man didn't expect Fu Ran to be so anxious, he had also issued tasks in the East Courtyard before, those students who came to perform the task were arrogant, he would be careful to entertain them, and sometimes he would secretly give each other some benefits, a student like Fu Ran, he had seen it for the first time.

However, this also left him in trouble, he did not check Fu Ran's identity jade plate, and after a glance, he withdrew his gaze, in the Eastern Regions, no one dared to pretend to be a student of the Eastern Academy.

The middle-aged man sat on the throne, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Here's the thing, a few days ago, an old friend of mine who has cooperated for many years bought 5,000 catties of new tea, and after I was ready, I arranged for someone to send it to him, but who knew that he was robbed on the way. ”

Fu Ran nodded slightly, this matter was mentioned in the mission, but it was not very detailed.

"At that time, I didn't care too much, although the value of these five thousand catties of new tea is not low, but after all, this kind of thing is not uncommon in our tea country, so I prepared another five thousand catties of new tea, and this time I specially invited two masters of the Zong Xuan Realm from outside to escort me, but I was still robbed. Speaking of which, a trace of gloom flashed on the middle-aged face, and 10,000 catties of new tea was also a big loss for his business.

"In desperation, I had to contact my old friend who had cooperated for many years and asked him to come to me to pick it up, who knew that my friend had just taken it from me and was robbed not far from the city gate, my friend thought that I deliberately arranged someone to rob him, after all, he didn't know much about coming to me to get tea, and cut off contact with me. The middle-aged man sighed, that person has cooperated with him for many years, although he is not his biggest customer, but he has to buy twenty or thirty thousand catties of tea from him every year, such a buyer runs, he is also very heartbroken.

Fu Ran frowned slightly, and asked, "What do you mean by saying that the tea was robbed, but the person is fine?"

"Indeed, I heard my friend say that there are only a few people on the other side, all of them are masked, and the other party only needs tea, and does not take people's lives, and they do not even take their belongings. The middle-aged man said, also puzzled.

It is not uncommon to kill people and sell goods in tea countries, but it is strange to only kill people without killing people.

"Then the merchant, can you find out some eyebrows?" Fu Ran asked, his task this time was to help the merchant transport a batch of new tea, and at the same time investigate the robbery of the merchant's new tea.

One task has to do two things, if it weren't for the task released by the academy this time, only this task location is close to the Wenshui Empire, Fu Ran would not have taken it.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man shook his head and said: "I also asked someone to investigate, but the investigation was not the slightest, and then there were several times when the goods were robbed, and I don't know what happened to this matter, it actually spread, and those who have been cooperating before dare not buy from me, if it weren't for my second brother to find some new buyers, I'm afraid I would have to close my door." ”

Fu Ran frowned, no matter how you look at it, this matter seems to be aimed at merchants, and it is really a bit tricky.

"So how many robberies have you had?" Fu Ran asked.

"There were six times before and after, only the batch of goods delivered by my second brother five days ago was saved, but my second brother was also injured. The middle-aged man said.

Fu Ran nodded, this matter is roughly clear, first of all, this robber is targeting merchants, otherwise it is impossible to be robbed six times in a short period of time.

However, the strength of this group of robbers is not weak, the merchant owner hired two Zongxuan Realm escorts, and they were still robbed, so the other party has at least three Zongxuan Realm or one Soul Xuan Realm.

Such strength can be regarded as very strong in the tea country.

Now that he knew, he was about to start investigating, but for a while, Fu Ran couldn't find a place to start, and after a while, he asked, "I don't know where Brother Ling is?" Since he has fought with robbers, he should know something. ”

"The second brother is now talking about a business outside, and he should be back later, but don't report too much hope for Xiaoyou, I also asked the second brother at the beginning, and he said that the other party came to three Zong Xuan Realm powerhouses, and there is no useful news for the rest. The middle-aged man naturally knew what Fu Ran was thinking, and said.

Fu Ran nodded noncommittally, ready to get up and say goodbye, then thought of something, and said, "How is Brother Ling's strength?"

"The second brother's talent is better than mine, and now he is in the late stage of the Sect Xuan Realm. The middle-aged replied.

"I'll start investigating in the next few days, and I'll stop today, and the juniors will leave. After that, Fu Ran wanted to leave.

"Xiaoyou and slowly, you are here to do things for my business, how can you let you live outside, just live in the house, but the house is simple, and I hope that Xiaoyou will not be disgusted. The middle-aged man hurriedly got up and stayed.

Hearing this, Fu Ran pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, he was not for saving, but if he lived in the Shang Mansion, it would be more convenient to ask if he had anything.

At present, the middle-aged is to ask the maid to clean up a side room for Fu Ran.

In the room, Fu Ran looked around and was quite satisfied, although it was a little simple, but it was extremely clean and tidy.

There was a faint fragrance of tea in the room, and it was also extremely quiet, and it seemed that the owner of the merchant also knew what cultivators needed.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Fu Ran did not cultivate, but talked to Bai Ruoshui.

"I'm dealing with some things in the tea country now, and I'll come to the Wenshui Empire to find you when I'm done. Fu Ran said.

"It just so happens that I have something to do here, but I'm leaving in a month, so don't delay too long. Bai Ruoping's faint voice came.

"Can't you just tell me how to use that dragon qi and phoenix feather?" Fu Ran frowned, if Bai Ruoshui directly told him how to use it, then he would not have come to this tea country, and he would not have taken on such a troublesome task.

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Fu Ran's tone, Bai Ruoshui snorted coldly and said, "I just want to confirm, although I can feel the breath of the dragon qi and the phoenix feather through the life-eating flower in your body, but I still need to distinguish it with my own eyes, if it is not bad with what I think, it should be of great benefit to you, if you are not in a hurry, you can come now." ”

Fu Ran sighed helplessly, he wanted to go now, but since he took over this task, if he didn't complete it, not only would he not be able to earn Xuanli, but he would have to lose, and he didn't want to lose money.

As for whether he can investigate the robbers, there is no guarantee that as long as he can successfully deliver the goods, he will be considered half complete, although he will not be able to get all the liquid of the task, but he will not lose money.

At that moment, Fu Ran told Bai Ruoshui the ins and outs of this matter, but as soon as he finished speaking, the latter's mocking voice came from his mind: "You are a pig, isn't this matter simple, to know when the goods will be delivered, it must be done by someone you know." ”

Fu Ran was stunned, he didn't expect this.

It stands to reason that robbers can't know about the merchant's buying and selling transactions, so how can the other party determine when the goods will be delivered? And they can know exactly who is transporting the goods.

Thinking of this, a smile rose on the corner of Fu Ran's mouth, and it looked like he had to dig a hole.
