Chapter 12 Missing Person Entrustment
If someone told Jiang Chen that he would be targeted by the Peach Blossom Assassin the day after he came to Xiliao City, then he would definitely look at the Yellow Calendar more and choose another auspicious day to go out.
It's a pity that there are no "ifs" in life.
So Jiang Chen had to stand under the bulletin board of the Hunter Square at this time, endure the smell of sweat in the crowded crowd, and listen to the hunters' scolding and complaining while searching for orders with the right price.
Jiang Chen actually found it hard to imagine that as the number one master in Western Liao City and the second leader of the Double Wolf Hunting Group, Chiyang would actually come to this kind of place to take orders in person.
Chiyang explained that because the expenses required for chivalry were too large, the monthly money of the hunting group was far from enough, so they could only come here to take private work by themselves.
The girl in green clothes behind her let out a crisp sneer: "The first master in the hall, being called around by others for a few hundred taels of silver, running around like a dog every day, is it worth it to be a hero and do this job?" β
Jiang Chen suddenly turned his head and glared at her, "Why are you still following us?" β
"Didn't you say it, let's come to Japan for a long time!" The girl in green clothes squinted at Jiang Chen, and a mocking smile escaped from the corner of her mouth, "What, think I'm getting in the way of you two?" Well, I'll stay away! β
As she spoke, she took two steps back and spread out her two jade-white palms: "That's all right!" β
Jiang Chen said angrily: "Dignified peach blossom...... How do you look like a leper dog? β
The girl in green clothes wrinkled her delicate nose: "I love this, you come to bite me?" She hooked her finger at Jiang Chen, "Come, it's not a grandson!" β
Of course, Jiang Chen would not fall for her agitation, and said stupidly: "When you take a bath and sleep at night, see if you dare to follow." β
The girl in green clothes grinned: "Little lewd thief, you don't understand this, it's not only men who can take advantage of women, in fact, women can also take advantage of men." A thief like me, of course, has to take advantage of it! β
"You!"
At this time, Chiyang in front of him spoke: "Xiao Jiang, how about you take a look at these commissions?" β
Jiang Chen turned his head and his gaze fell on the orders.

β¦β¦
The girl in green clothes walked to the edge of the bulletin board at some point, pointed to the last commission of "Warm Quilt" and said: "This price is very suitable, you two think about it." β
Although her voice was delicate, it passed through the noisy crowd and clearly reached the ears of Jiang Chen and Chiyang.
Jiang Chen and Chi Yang looked at where her slender fingers were staying, and shook their heads together.
"I have heard of that lady, and she is known for her generosity, and if you make her happy, you will be rewarded with it." The girl in Cui Yi chuckled, "Think about it, how difficult it is for that lady to be alone, in a lonely and cold night, you Chiyang hero is benevolent and righteous, is it possible that you are stingy with mercy at this time?" β
"I heard that it was a fairy jump scam that specializes in blackmailing single young people." Chiyang shook his head, "Besides, I'm not handsome enough, and Xiao Jiang is not strong enough." β
Jiang Chen quietly glanced at Chiyang. Listening to Chiyang's tone, he seemed to have seriously considered this commission......
"You two go together, and you will be handsome and strong, and you will definitely be able to meet the lady's requirements." The girl in green clothes laughed playfully, and her cute appearance made the eyes of the peeping side brighten.
Several pretentious young hunters had already begun to take care of their clothes and hair, and were ready to move.
"I'll just think you're complimenting us."
Jiang Chen responded casually, his eyes swept back and forth over the bulletin board, thinking about it over and over again.
There are dozens of commissions on the bulletin board, most of which are missing cases, and the price ranges from a few hundred to thousands. A small part of them are seeking to buy demon materials in the Netherworld, which is far away and dangerous, and it is not cost-effective in terms of time.
In the end, Jiang Chen and Chi Yang's eyes fell on the order of "Looking for the Ruby Ring" and stayed for a long time.
- "My wife disappeared a month ago, and that day I was throwing a big birthday party for her, but she mysteriously disappeared at the party. I sent a lot of people to find out her whereabouts, but I couldn't find the slightest clue. I have been restless every day for a month, and have not been able to sleep all night, and if anyone can bring her back to me, I am willing to offer a reward of five thousand taels of silver; If I find the ruby ring on her hand, I will pay her a thousand taels of silver! β
ββSigned: Jia Siye, Baishi Street.
The woman who has been missing for a month, according to the experience of Western Liaocheng, the possibility of survival is almost zero.
But there is no limit on this order, and bringing back the corpse is probably considered to be a complete task.
And most importantly β it gives the highest price of any order!
With such a generous pay, even though there is little hope, people can't help but want to give it a try.
"The sun is rising, the crows are singing on the eaves, and the down-and-out heroes are still lingering......" The girl in green clothes hummed softly while beating the beat.
I have to say that her voice is delicate and innocent, joyful and beautiful, and it is very comfortable to reach the ears, but the content of the lyrics makes people unhappy.
However, she also reminded Jiang Chen and the others that they really shouldn't hesitate anymore.
The two exchanged glances and nodded at the same time.
Chiyang Yue took a step forward and unveiled the order for the Ruby Ring.
This action immediately caused a lot of whispering, and the singing of the girl in green clothes also stopped.
Chiyang ignored everyone's reactions, put away the list and walked away.
"How could Chiyang take that task?"
"I only know that he is good at fighting, is he also good at finding people?"
"That Ruby Lady has been missing for a month, and the bones have been gnawed away by the wolves!"
β¦β¦
Jiang Chen walked a few steps quickly to keep up with Chiyang, and before he could speak, the haunting voice of the girl in green clothes floated behind him: "Did you hear that?" Everybody isn't optimistic about you! β
"Then please wait and see......" Jiang Chen was about to retort, when he suddenly saw Chiyang stop and look in the other direction with great solemnity.
Jiang Chen also turned his head to look at it with feeling.
As far as the eye could gaze, a giant-like figure walked into the square from the other end of the long street.
"Boom-"
"Boom-"
The ground shook with the man's footsteps.
"Wu Lian." Chiyang let out a helpless sigh, "It's not the right time. β
There seemed to be a scorching air flow in the square, and everyone was surprised by this inexplicable feeling, and the weaker ones had begun to sweat, and in the exclamations of others, they looked at the burly figure in the distance.
"It's Wu Lian!"
"Oh my God! What is Wu Lian doing here? β
"Who has offended him......"
The crowd in the square dispersed after a chaotic shout.
