Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 97 Lu Sandao
"Lu Sandao?"
"I think I've heard this name somewhere."
Chu Qingxiao looked at the handwriting on the wooden sign and muttered in his heart.
But the next moment he felt a little strange, he had already seen many of these tasks in the observation pillar.
This kind of task of helping to buy things and deliver them to your door is probably paid between one or two Spirit Iron Jades, and the goods that need to be purchased are either extremely difficult to find, or the goods that need to be delivered are extremely heavy.
And this only needs to sell two jars of wine to earn twenty spirit iron jade, such a good errand should be a task that everyone rushes to get.
But Chu Qingxiao secretly wondered that at least a hundred breaths of time had passed, but the wooden card was still hanging high on the observation post, and no one had taken over the task.
He remembered it well, he had seen someone hang out a task to help deliver goods to a town in the west of Tianhang City, and it took two days to go back and forth, and the reward was only seven spirit iron jades, but several disciples almost fought for this task......
"Could it be that they didn't find out?" Chu Qingxiao secretly thought in his heart, he glanced at the disciples gathered around him, and saw that they were all seriously sweeping back and forth on the Guanling Pillar.
The number of wooden cards on the viewing pillar is extremely large, and as someone takes the task, the position of the wooden card is constantly changing, and there is indeed a possibility of missing the net.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao did not hesitate and hurriedly stepped forward and walked in front of the deacon who was in charge of receiving the task.
"A row of columns." He spoke to the deacon.
The deacon in charge of this is a middle-aged man, and he has obviously been a deacon here for many years, and he is very familiar with this work.
Chu Qingxiao stood here in the hundred breath time, every disciple who stepped forward to receive the task, only needed to report the ranks of the task, and the man could take out the corresponding token of the task from the box under him without looking back, and then register the disciple's information, and the whole process only took more than ten breaths to complete.
And the existence of many efficient deacons like him is also the key to the efficient operation of this Qinghuan Mansion.
It's just that he has done a lot of work like this, but when Chu Qingxiao reported the task he wanted to take, the deacon's body was obviously stunned.
The next moment, he raised his head unusually and looked at Chu Qingxiao: "Which task are you going to take?" ”
He asked, uncertain.
Chu Qingxiao didn't think much about it, he just thought that the other party didn't hear his words clearly, and he repeated again: "A line is listed." ”
Probably in order to make the other party hear his words clearly, this time, he made his voice a little louder.
Therefore, some of the disciples around him also heard his words, and for a while, several strange eyes were focused on him at this time.
Chu Qingxiao also felt this keenly, and he looked up at the people around him a little strangely.
"Hand over your disciple token, and I'll register it for you." In the midst of his doubts, the deacon's voice sounded again.
Chu Qingxiao secretly felt strange, but he couldn't touch it, so he simply took out his disciple token - because Chu Zhaozhao and Ziyu probably needed to consolidate their cultivation for a long time, and the manpower to earn Lingtie Jade was obviously insufficient, so Chu Qingxiao also applied for the token of the miscellaneous disciple with Yuejian yesterday, the purpose was to help them earn Lingtie Jade.
"Chu Qingxiao? The people of Spiritktown. The deacon glanced at Chu Qingxiao's token, and his face showed a sudden look.
"It turned out to be a new disciple who only started yesterday." He muttered.
Chu Qingxiao frowned, looked at the other party and asked, "What do you mean?" Can't a new disciple take on this task? ”
Hearing this, the deacon glanced up at Chu Qingxiao, and then hurriedly smiled: "Of course not, our Qinghuan Mansion treats disciples of any rank equally, I just think it's ......"
Speaking of this, the deacon was silent for a while, and then glanced at Chu Qingxiao deeply, and then finally said: "The future is terrifying......
……
Out of Qinghuan Mansion, Chu Qingxiao went straight to the Baihe Winery in the west of the city.
Tianhang City is very big, but fortunately, Baihe Winery seems to be somewhat famous in this Tianhang City, Chu Qingxiao only asked three or four pedestrians, and then found the correct address of Baihe Winery.
He rushed there, spent two taels of silver to buy two jars of Qinghe Brew, and then went non-stop to the address mentioned on the mission - Akabane Lane in the east of the city.
In order to find a suitable task, he lingered in Qinghuan Mansion for a long time, and the requirement on the task was to be delivered before noon, the distance between the west of the city and the east of the city was quite far, in order to arrive on time, Chu Qingxiao trotted all the way, and finally came to the T-shaped number of Chiba Lane before noon.
Standing in front of the door, Chu Qingxiao looked the door up and down.
I thought that the people who could offer such a high price just to let people send wine should be the kind of wealthy compound that could spend so much money.
After all, most of the people living in this Tianhang City are outer disciples and miscellaneous servants, but there are also some disciples on the nine divine peaks of Tianhang Mountain, who buy real estate here and come to live here from time to time.
But the gate in front of him is no different from ordinary people.
Thinking of the strange gaze of the surrounding disciples and the deacon when he received the task before, Chu Qingxiao's heart was faintly uneasy.
But having already come here, and the money for the wine has been spent, he can't give up halfway, thinking this, he tried to reach out and knock on the door.
After three or five soft sounds, there was no response from the door.
He frowned slightly, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door again.
Squeak –
At this time, the courtyard door in front of him suddenly made a soft sound, and the door slowly cracked a crack.
Chu Qingxiao's outstretched hand hung in the air, blinked, looked at the cracked door, and came back to his senses after a while.
"Is the security in the Hanging City so good this day? Have you gotten to the point where you don't need to close your account? Chu Qingxiao secretly wondered.
As he spoke, he poked his head out and looked into the house, where there was a small courtyard with some grass and trees, but none of them seemed to have been taken care of, so that some of the plants and trees had withered and yellowed.
"Anyone?" He shouted loudly into the room again.
There seemed to be some noise in the room, but it wasn't really audible.
Chu Qingxiao was a little embarrassed, he looked at the sky, it was almost noon, and he was afraid that if he delayed any longer, the publisher of this task would be embarrassed by his late arrival.
Therefore, after a little thought, he pushed open the door and walked in.
"Anyone?" Chu Qingxiao asked again.
A short distance away there was a soft noise from a hut, as if something had been knocked to the ground.
Chu Qingxiao heard the sound, and hurriedly walked in the direction where the sound came from, he came to the door, the door was also unlocked, he pushed it open, and there was a strong smell of wine in front of him.
Chu Qingxiao, who almost never drank alcohol, choked on the smell of alcohol and coughed, and it took him a while to get used to the strong smell of alcohol in this room, and then he raised his head and looked at the door.
The furnishings in the room are just as simple, huh......
This is actually quite a subtle statement, to be precise, the room can only be described as the four walls of the house, the whole door, there are only two wooden stools, other than that, there is nothing else.
Chu Qingxiao's heart became more and more uneasy, and he secretly doubted how a person from such a family could give twenty pieces of spirit iron jade as a reward for sending wine.
Thinking of this, there was a rustling sound in the door of the inner side of the main room, and the owner of this room should be in this side of the room.
"Hello, I received the task issued by Your Excellency in Qinghuan Mansion, and I specially helped you bring the wine."
He said this and came to the door of the side room, which had no door in front of it, but a curtain hung to cover it.
Chu Qingxiao stood at the door and waited quietly, and there was the sound of footsteps walking towards this place in the house.
When the voice walked in, the other party did not appear, but just stretched out a hand through the curtain and shook it towards Chu Qingxiao.
It was a very white hand, Chu Qingxiao was stunned when he saw this, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly handed over the two jars of wine in his hand.
After taking the wine jar, the hand retracted the curtain for the first time.
Thump.
There was only a soft sound, and it was the sound of the wine jar being opened.
Then there was another gurgling sound.
It was the sound of the drink being gulped.
Chu Qingxiao was not in a hurry, just waited quietly outside until the voice stopped temporarily, but he heard the other party let out a satisfied moan.
Chu Qingxiao said: "I have completed what Your Excellency wants me to do, and I ask Your Excellency to ...... the promised reward."
The people in the room paused slightly, and the next moment a note was handed out.
Chu Qingxiao took the note and looked at it intently, only to see that the note was written in crooked handwriting:
Today, the three swords of the Hanging Mountain and the Land have borrowed twenty pieces of spiritual iron jade from you, and they will definitely be returned within thirty years, based on this article.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned again, and it took a while before he came back to his senses - this guy wants to pay on credit!
Not to mention the promised twenty pieces of spirit iron jade, just buying these two jars of Qinghe brew cost Chu Qingxiao two taels of silver, and he was fooled by someone with a note, Chu Qingxiao was naturally unwilling.
He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Tai, I am also a disciple of Tianhang Mountain, how can I be so untrustworthy, and please take out the promised Lingtie Jade, otherwise I will definitely report this matter to Qinghuan Mansion." ”
The existence of Qinghuan Mansion is not as simple as simply taking the task, but also to ensure that after completing the task, the disciples in the sect can get the due remuneration, so whenever there is an employer arrears or no payment, they can report to the Qinghuan Mansion, and this is a very deterrent thing for most ordinary disciples.
But the person in the house didn't seem to care, he didn't pay attention to Chu Qingxiao's threat at all, and he didn't respond, just turned around, and then tried to leave and walked into the house.
Although Chu Qingxiao has a good temperament, he is not the kind of honest person who allows others to bully.
When he saw this, his heart was on fire, and he leaned into the house, and immediately a hand was stretched out and slapped at the man, trying to stop him.
And the hand that slapped out landed on a soft thing, which felt strange, Chu Qingxiao subconsciously clenched that thing, and then looked up at the other party.
But he saw a tall woman in red clothes, staring at him with a drunken face.
And the soft place where his hand landed was the pair of towering objects on the other man's chest......
