Chapter Twenty-Four: Welcome to Baijing

"Is there any mistake? Do you take an economy class out of tolerance? We're selling our lives, aren't we getting some good treatment? Even if it's not first class, at least it has to be business class, right?" Fingal complained loudly, "This seat is so narrow that I feel like it can break my spine."

"Don't complain, the tickets for the flight to Baijing are sold out, this is a night charter flight, it's already rare to grab a ticket, and this is still the last three economy class." Chu Zihang said lightly.

"Didn't you give Caesar a priority?" Fingal was overjoyed, "Looks like we're still in good hands."

"No, I heard that Caesar requisitioned one of their Gulfstream business jets, which took off an hour ago." Lu Mingfei said.

"Ah, this." Fingal hung his head in frustration, "What a wicked rich man."

"This is a direct flight, and the journey time is about fourteen hours," Chu Zihang handed Fingal and Lu Mingfei a pack of eye masks and earplugs each, "It's best to get some sleep, and you will start working when you land."

"Senior brother." Lu Mingfei pestled Chu Zihang with his arm and motioned for him to observe the passengers around him.

Chu Zihang nodded: "Found out."

"What?" Fingal was confused, "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?"

"This flight is not ordinary." Chu Zihang said softly, "From the passengers to the staff, it is completely composed of mixed races."

Fingal was stunned for a moment before muttering, "No wonder tickets are so hard to buy."

"What are they doing in Baijing? Want to slay dragons too?" Lu Mingfei wondered.

"Let's join in the fun, how can they have the ability to slay dragons? The dragon king can drown a pile with his spit." Fingal said.

"It doesn't matter what they do, it's enough for us to do our mission." Chu Zihang said.

Caesar looked away from the porthole and at his laptop.

The interface on the screen is a simple website, "Hunter's Market", few people know that Caesar Gattuso is still a registered hunter, this ID is called "Governor of Gaul" account was registered when he was fifteen years old, he despises the bounty, but he is very interested in the risks behind the bounty, he likes to take risks, and there are many interesting characters in the hunter.

The top post is the one with a $100 million bounty for the Dragon King, and the replies below cover thousands of floors, and there are about a lot of hybrids who have registered accounts in it, and Caesar is trying to find some valuable information from the replies that are full of spam.

Caesar kept browsing and finally found an interesting post: "Sell information about the Dragon King, $200,000 in cash."

The content of the post is mediocre, and there are a sea of people in the hunter market who want to sell information, and it has always been difficult to distinguish between true and false, and the credibility is about the same as that kind of pop-up small ads and urban psoriasis, but Caesar noticed the ID of the poster, "Phoenix", "Immortal Bird".

This kind of ID looks very old, but Caesar has never seen this ID in the Hunter Market, in other words, this old ID has been diving for a long time, and has not communicated on the website for a long time, and now that it has surfaced, it would be a bit unreasonable to say that it is just peddling false information for 200,000 dollars.

Caesar clicked on the information page of the "Immortal Bird", which was registered twenty-three years ago and was the seventh account to be registered in the Hunter Market.

Caesar nodded slightly, and sent an email to the "Immortal Bird".

The first flight from North America to China landed at Baijing International Airport in the early morning, a large tour group that forced customs to urgently open new entry gates.

"Hey! Ming Fei! I'm glad to see you again!" Someone in the tour group came up enthusiastically to shake Lu Mingfei's hand.

"Townfar?" Lu Mingfei recognized this person, "You're here too?"

"Wow, junior brother, you have a wide range of friends!" Fingal said.

"Fortunately, Romario Townessen, are you here to slay the dragon too?" Townsend shook hands with Fingal as well.

"How can that? That's the Dragon King, do you think the dragon slaying is to participate in the World Expo? Can you get in line to buy a ticket? If only the Dragon King had awakened," Fingal's eyes widened, pointing at fellow Flyers

The passengers who got off the plane, "These people should be able to make him half full."

"Brother is the same as I thought!" Tang Sen was shocked for a moment, and then whispered, "Actually, I didn't come to trouble the Dragon King, I still have this self-knowledge, I mainly consider such an influential event, if I miss it, it will be a pity...... Most of the people here are almost the same idea, you see there are people over there who drag their families with their families, not like slaying dragons, and you're right, the Expo is not over yet, and some of my friends and I are also considering taking a vacation in China to visit the World Expo, isn't that a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?"

"It seems that the hero sees something the same." Fingal was overjoyed.

……

"Are you going out for a walk today? I'll show you something interesting." Caesar texted Nono as he drove.

"Interesting? How interesting is that?" Nono replied.

"Is the Dragon King's clue interesting enough?" Caesar continued to message.

"It's boring, I'd better go out and walk around by myself." Nono replied.

"Well, the beginning of the day was a failure, and I thought it would be a good day to propose." Caesar spoke.

"You guessed it, before the heat arrives, it won't be a good day to propose." Nono replied.

"So you just refused? I don't know what you're not happy with, don't you like Caesar?" There was a hint of confusion in Susie's voice.

"Don't worry about our affairs," Nuo Nuo said, "I said that if he didn't arrive, then the fire didn't arrive, but you, have you already given up on Chu Shao?"

"How long can you like someone?" Susie said, "But if you don't like someone, you can never like it for the rest of your life."

"Actually, you don't know Chu Zihang, right?" Nono sighed, "Although you've done your best, you know whether he likes to eat one-sided or double-sided omelettes, but you still don't know him."

Susie was silent for a moment, "He didn't give me a chance to get to know him."

"That's not right, if you're going to meet someone and there's no road between you, then you're going to have to find him on your own bike, in a small wooden boat, in a small plane." "It's only when you see him that you know what you really think."

"You don't understand...... Susie spat out in the middle of the night.

"I don't understand?" Nono was angry, "I understand it too well! I'm done! No one knows better than I do!"

"Niu'er, we've known each other for almost four years, and you know exactly what I'm capable of," Nuno said, "I know better than your parents about your virtues."

"I've seen that elementary school girl named Natsumi, and it's true that she's better than you, but do you know where she's better than you?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Susie didn't say a word.

"She knows Chu Zihang better than you, why do you think that? Because Chu Zihang gave her a chance to get to know him?" Nuno said seriously, "If he is such a scumbag, I will teach him a lesson in everything."

"He's not ......," Susie's voice was as thin as a gnat.

"You don't know him, and you don't know him anymore?" Nono's tone became stern, "You don't know him, so does he know you?" You're also a stuffy gourd that can't beat a fart with three sticks, even if he knows that you like him, then does he know you? Does he know how many people you have in your family? Do you know your past, your present, your future? Do you know his past, his present, his future? Don't you know enough about him? You don't know anything about him!"

"No, it's not...... You're a crooked ......," Susie said a little uncontrollably.

"Niu'er, if you're really tired and don't want to like him, I won't mention these words at all, but you still have him in your heart, it's like a book that you haven't finished reading, and you always have it in your heart, wondering how the book is written." Nuno's tone softened, "I mean, since you can't put your mind at ease, why pretend to be free, you don't understand him, then find a way to understand him, don't let him become a phantom in your heart, a knot, he obviously hasn't said anything yet, you

Why end this story in such a hurry?"

"If you can't figure it out, then ask me, and I'll teach you how to get to know someone." Nono said, "You should think about what I said."

Nono stopped talking, and both sides of the call were silent, and after a while, she heard a sniff from the other side.

"I see." Susie's voice was calm, but there was some urn sound.

Nuno hung up the phone with a smile and took a bite of the BJ roast duck wrapped in dough.

Caesar found a parking space to stop the car, walked calmly, he had blonde hair, blue eyes were eye-catching, the upper body was wearing a cyan Chinese coat, the lower body was loose leisure pants, the feet were a pair of authentic Baijing cloth shoes, and he was shaking a white paper folding fan in his hand. If you don't make a pen, I'm really sorry that they have been doing business in Laobaijing Hutong for so many years.

But Caesar paid no attention to the courteous men, and with a clear goal, he went straight into a small alley where the sun could not shine.

Caesar stood still in front of a small shop, with a royal blue cotton curtain hanging at the door, the sign of "Fenglongtang" on the lintel looked a little old, the handwriting was a little faded, the location of the store was not well chosen, the deepest part of a remote alley, and those who opened their doors to do business generally did not open a shop in this kind of place.

When the cotton curtain was lifted, the brass bell on the door rang, but no one came to greet the store, and the counter was empty.

The furnishings in the room also look like some old things, in addition to those old furniture, there are also some antique objects such as thread-bound books, Tang Sancai, ink inkstone brush washing, etc., this place looks like everything is sold, and there is a set of red wedding dresses hanging on the wall.

Caesar wandered to the red wedding gown and stopped to admire it, with a faint hint of envy hidden in the depths of his eyes, the wedding dress was based on fine lake silk, with silk piping, gold leaf decorated with phoenix patterns, and the buttons were pearled, occasionally embellished with glass flakes, this exquisite work of art was unfolded and nailed to the wall, and a freehand portrait of the bride's face was painted in ink on the wall.

"That's the wedding dress worn by the flag people in the Qing Dynasty, the ancient appearance of the cheongsam, not showing arms and legs like now, hey, authentic, right?" Someone said it behind his back.

"Mr. Lin Fenglong." Caesar did not look back.

"Mr. Caesar Gattuso? I didn't expect to be so young." The boss said.

Caesar turned around, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, this man who listened to and spoke like an old Baijing, when he saw the truth, he turned out to have a high nose and deep eyes, gray-white hair, and iron-gray eyes.

The boss was wearing a bamboo shirt, holding two walnuts in his hand and a set of pancakes in the other, which were steaming hot......

"There are strange people like you among the hunters." Caesar looked the old man up and down.

"The water in this line is deep, I'm a normal person like this." The boss smiled slightly, "I just went out to buy breakfast, let's eat some together?"

"No, I just tasted some bean juice in the morning, and I don't have much appetite now." Caesar shook his head, his face not very good.

"First time drinking bean juice? Then you have to vomit, let's drink some tea, I have the best Tieguanyin here." The boss led Caesar to the old tea table.

Caesar sits, the boss boils water and makes tea with his hands and feet, a set of dazzling tea brewing process down, Caesar puts a small cup of tea in front of him, the tea fragrance is curling, refreshing.

Caesar smelled the fragrance of tea, picked it up and blew carefully, took a small sip, and nodded: "Good tea, but I'm not here to drink tea."

As he spoke, Caesar picked up a large paper bag and placed it in front of the boss: "As we promised, two hundred thousand dollars, buy the message you said."

"Among the hunters, there are also people like you who spend a lot of money?" The boss looked at the paper bag and smiled and narrowed.

"It depends on whether your message is worth it." Caesar said, "Just spend money and have fun."

"You're covered

Satisfied." The boss sipped tea with a smile, "Actually, my news is related to a place, not far from here, just over the side of the Palace of Nationalities, where there is a glorious alley. Three hundred and eighty-six years ago, it was a place where firearms and explosives were made for the imperial court, and at that time it had another name."

Speaking of this, the boss suddenly stopped, he looked at Caesar, and spit out the place name with a smile: "Wang Gongchang."

Caesar nodded, staring solemnly at the teacup in his hand.

"Looks like I've heard of it." The boss laughs.

"Yes, the explosion at Wang Gongchang, also known as the Apocalypse Explosion, occurred at 9 a.m. on May 30, 1626, and was a huge explosion with a total area of 2.25 square kilometers, causing more than 20,000 casualties. Caesar whispered, "Suspicious...... Caused by some kind of devastating speech."
