"Little brother, you are happy to change." The leader of the defenders comforted, and then said: "Little brother, it is convenient to wait here for a while, I will send a team of defenders there to check the corpses of this liao, and bring the goods you left behind, little brother." ”

"Then there's Lord Law." Chen Jiu pretended to be grateful.

It's been about an hour or so.

The group of defenders sent out by the leader of the defenders returned.

Behind them was a carriage, the one that Chen Jiu had seen intercepted by Wang Erhu before.

"My lord, it's Wang Erhu's corpse." A defender immediately brought Wang Erhu's head up, and in the ice and snow, after an hour's effort, this head had already been frozen and bruised like a stone.

However, the face is still clearly recognizable.

"Good, good kill!" The leader of the city immediately rejoiced.

Although Wang Erhu has been in Guobei County for a generation, he is not a mountain bandit who has become a climate, but there are more than a dozen of them, and many caravans along the way have been poisoned by them in these years.

Now it's finally gone.

As for how the young man with fine skin and tender flesh in front of him killed Wang Erhu, it didn't matter in his heart, and those who could kill the bandits were naturally good citizens.

Seeing that the leader of the city had let his guard down.

Chen Jiu immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "The adults have brought these goods back to me, if it is freezing today, it is inconvenient for me to transport these goods to the north alone, it is better for the adults to help the people in the city, and it can be regarded as a good deed." ”

When the leader of the city guard heard this, he coughed: "Ahem... Little brother, you are too polite, I will thank you on behalf of the people in the city, if there is anything you need help with, you can find our defenders. ”

Then he handed over a black iron token.

Slightly different from the token given by Chen Jiu, this token looked more rudimentary, as if it had been made of pig iron, and there was a word of Shou engraved on it.

"This is our defender's token, and with this token, the defenders won't stop you when entering and leaving the city."

Chen Jiu took it politely and arched his hand: "Thank you, sir." ”

"It's windy and snowy, and I'm going to live in the city for a few days."

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Jiu said goodbye to the leader of the defenders and walked straight into the city alone.

Pinching the defender token in his hand, he suddenly settled down a lot in his heart, and this trip was easy, although there was no great gain, but at least he successfully obtained a tenable identity in this Guobei County.

Regarding the difficulty of this dungeon, he was somewhat prepared in his heart.

This time there are no quest prompts, no time limits, and no rewards, so you can imagine how difficult it will be.

In other words.

There is even the possibility of being trapped in a copy forever.

And he wasn't sure if he stayed here too long, it would have an impact on himself in reality.

While thinking, Chen Jiu walked around the city.

Guobei County is not a big county seat, with his foot strength, it takes less than half an hour to walk from one end of the city to the other.

Maybe it's because of the heavy snowfall.

In the entire Guobei County, there are not many pedestrians walking outside, and basically every household is closed.

"Find an inn as a place to rest, and then see if you can find some useful clues in the city." Chen Jiu thought about his next plan in his heart.

After finding an inn that looks pretty good.

Chen Jiu paid a few copper coins and moved in.

The copper coins were scavenged from the corpses of several mountain bandits, but the combined amount of the money was estimated to last only three days in the inn, after which he would have to make another plan.

However, with his ability, it is not difficult to get some money in the city after obtaining a reasonable status.

"So what exactly will be the mission this time?" Chen Jiu lay in the room and thought.

According to past experience, when you encounter this situation, you need to take the initiative to dig it yourself.

Jingling~

Just thinking about it.

Chen Jiu suddenly heard the crisp sound of a copper bell.

The window was opened a gap, and there was still heavy snow outside, and the bluestone pavement was completely submerged by the heavy snow that was nearly a foot deep, but in the distance of sight, there was a white figure that almost melted into the heavy snow and walked in the direction of the inn.

"What a weirdo." Chen Jiu frowned.

The figure in the distance, wearing a thin white monk's robe and no shoes on his feet, held a bronze Zen staff in his hand to pierce deep pits in the snow, and the bell on the salute behind him sounded in the wind.

When he got closer, Chen Jiu gradually saw the person's appearance clearly.

It turned out to be an old monk with a gray beard, walking barefoot in the snow.

As if sensing that someone was watching him, the old monk casually glanced in the direction of Chen Jiu's window.

"Amitabha." The old monk saluted with one hand and bowed to Chen Jiu.

"Huh? I was discovered. Chen Jiu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this old monk, who was over half a hundred years old, felt so keen, obviously the two sides were still separated by dozens of meters, and the old monk could actually detect Chen Jiu observing behind the window.

Now that he had been discovered, Chen Jiu simply pushed open the window and saluted.

The old monk nodded and continued to walk through the snow.

"What a weirdo." Chen Jiu shook his head and didn't think much about it.

Most of these old monks are ascetics in this era, and they are the only ones who can practice such a strenuous way of practice.

……

Tongshun Inn.

In the whole Guobei County, it is not a big inn, but the price is fair and cheap, so it has become the choice of many tourists who come and go to Guobei County.

The guests are also a mixed bag.

And the inn that Chen Jiu chose was this Tongshun Inn.

At this time, it was late at night, and there was silence in the entire Guobei County, whether it was the shopkeeper or most of the hotel, they had already fallen asleep, and Chen Jiu was naturally in the guest room.

But right now.

Suddenly, a strange smell came from outside the house, Chen Jiu frowned, held his breath, and opened a gap in the outward-facing window.

"How can anyone put incense in the inn?"

Although Guobei County is not a big city, the defenders in the city are also quite a lot, and I didn't expect that someone would be so bold to put incense directly in the inn in the city.

Step ~ Step ~ Step ~

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of footsteps in the inn, and there were many footsteps, even more lively than during the day. 、

But these footsteps only wandered in the lobby of the inn, and did not enter the guests' rooms.
