Chapter 100: Bohai City
When I first entered Bohai City, the place I passed was thriving, and the people I saw were laughing and laughing.
The two of them walked along the wide avenue in the city, observing everything that came and went, and found that this place was mostly entertainment facilities, and the people seemed to be extremely wealthy.
"How is it different from what I imagined?" Since listening to Xiao Yue's words, Xi Ya still thought that this place was some kind of Longtan Tiger's Den.
"Don't be fooled by appearances sometimes"
From the time Ye Bai first entered the city to the present, he found that there were several pairs of eyes, observing them as if they were nothing.
Ye Bai was about to find a place to inquire about the news first, but he didn't expect that at this time, the two army commanders dragged a woman with disheveled hair to walk in front of him.
"Please, spare my child! I can leave Bohai City. ”
The woman's request was ignored by the commander, and instead she was kicked, and the people next to her also looked at her with sarcastic eyes.
"Let's go to the inn first and inquire about the news."
Ye Bai knew that this place was not as calm as it appeared to be, and he planned to find out the situation first, and was not in a hurry to investigate the missing persons.
Xi Ya nodded, following Ye Bai's footsteps, Ye Bai found a relatively old inn nearby, and the name was also very interesting, "Youshen Inn." ”
The inn looks relatively old, and generally not many people want to live, just entered the inn, and there was a sleepy-eyed old man at the front desk who opened his eyes, "Check in or eat?" The old man asked in a voice like a broken gong.
"Shopkeeper, serve us some specialty dishes first, and then bring me a pot of good wine." Ye Bai ordered some food and drink first, and was not in a hurry to check in.
It didn't take long for the things to be ready, a very common meal, the old man was about to leave, Ye Bai invited: "Don't be in a hurry to leave first, can you sit down and chat." ”
The old man looked left and right, sat down when he had nothing to do, and Ye Bai got up and filled his wine glass himself.
"In Xia Ye Bai, this is my sister Ye Ya, the shopkeeper's noble surname?" Ye Bai briefly introduced.
"The old man's name is Liu Tai, you can just call me Lao Liu." The shopkeeper drank wine and laughed.
"Elder Liu, our brother and sister have just come to this city and want to inquire about the situation." Ye Bai raised his wine glass and toasted Liu Lao.
Liu Tai slowly drank the wine in the glass, and ate the side dishes unceremoniously, and then glanced at the two of them slowly.
"From the first time I saw you, I knew that you weren't locals, and I was afraid that you had already been targeted by someone on the way here, right?"
"How?" Ye Bai then asked.
"It's mainly your breath, the two of you who don't fit in with the dark, dirty smell of this place."
Liu Tai didn't wait for them to speak, and then praised Ye Bai, "But your kid is lucky, you chose my little broken stack, at least I won't do some black shop business." ”
"Thank you Elder Liu for telling me, I also found that the atmosphere of this Bohai City is indeed different from other main cities."
Ye Bai really felt the strange atmosphere in the city when he first entered the city, and the eyes that came over from time to time were also full of malice.
"If you come here to play, just go directly to the coastal area, just find a random village, although there are occasional sea tribe attacks, but it is also stronger than this right and wrong." Liu Tai also warned Ye Bai and persuaded him to leave as soon as possible.
"Old Liu, I'm afraid my brother and sister will have to live for a long time." After Ye Bai finished speaking, he immediately placed twenty high-grade spirit stones on the table.
Liu Tai took out his cigarette stick and took a puff, not in a hurry to accept the spirit stone, but looked at the two people opposite.
"That's it! I only live in this hotel for ten high-grade spirit stones a year. ”
"After all, my brother and sister have just come here, and I hope that Liu Lao will inform me of some taboos here."
Liu Tai looked at Ye Bai with a smile on his face, took a deep puff of cigarette again, and after pausing for a few seconds, he gave an answer.
"You kid is quite polite, I took this guest, but I remind you of one thing, it's best not to cause trouble casually, if you really want to inquire about something, go to the West Gate to find Jia Blind, and remember to change your outfit, your rooms 202 and 203, there are clothes in the room."
After Liu Tai finished speaking, he accepted the spirit stone and left alone.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu."
Ye Bai also breathed a sigh of relief, if Liu Lao didn't take them in, this city would probably be difficult to stay.
"Let's go up first, let's not run around today." Ye Bai told Xi Ya.
Ye Bai opened the door, the room facilities were extremely simple, only a bed and a set of tables and chairs.
Nothing to say all night......
The next morning, the two planned to go to the West Gate to find Jia Blind, and after asking Liu Lao about his appearance and characteristics, they left in a hurry.
At this time, the sky outside the gate was blue and boundless, which seemed incompatible with Bohai City under the blue sky.
After chatting, I soon came to the West Gate, and at a glance I found the blind Taoist with a two-handful beard, who was sitting in front of the fortune-telling booth to give divination, and there were signboard couplets on both sides.
"Yin and Yang break the five elements."
"Watch the sun and the moon in the palm of your hand."
Waiting for the guests to leave, Ye Bai stepped forward, and as soon as he sat down, Jia Blind asked, "What kind of thing do you want to count?" ”
"Senior, I was introduced by Uncle Liu and wanted to inquire about something." Ye Bai immediately got straight to the point.
"That Liu?"
"Liu Tai of the God Inn."
"Come with me."
The two asked and answered, and the blind man put away the stall and motioned for the two to follow him.
Ye Bai hesitated for a moment but followed, as if he also knew Ye Bai's worries, Jia Blind just took them to a crowded restaurant and found a quiet environment to sit down.
"Since Lao Liu called you over, just ask if you have anything." Jia Blind leisurely picked up a cup of hot tea and tasted it.
"Senior, I just arrived here and want to inquire, half a month ago, a person named Gao Feng escorted a batch of goods, and disappeared through Bohai City."
Ye Bai remembered the last mission, Bohai City to find the reason for Gao Feng's disappearance and find out the whereabouts of the goods. Client: Daluo Chamber of Commerce. The reward is one million spirit stones, which is also the reason why Ye Bai must take on this task, there is a lot of money! But he also knew that this spirit stone was not necessarily easy to take, but fortunately, he could accept a penalty of up to 10,000 spirit stones if the mission failed.
"This one! Some time ago, there was indeed a person passing through Bohai City with a batch of goods, but..."Jia Blind touched his chin and groaned.
Ye Bai immediately took out a thousand spirit stones and handed them over, and Jia Blind immediately smiled: "But that group of people is a little swaggering, you must know that this Bohai City is a place where poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and it is indispensable to give him a long memory, and finally even the people and goods disappeared, it should be done by the people of the Nanhai Gang." ”
"Senior, what is the origin of this South China Sea help?" Ye Bai continued to ask.
"Is this ........." The blind man Jia rubbed his fingers, Ye Bai understood what he meant, and threw him three thousand spirit stones again.
After Jia Blind accepted it with satisfaction, he continued to speak: "This Nanhai Gang is one of the two major gangs in Bohai City, and the notoriety is known to everyone, the gang has three leaders, and the one who intercepted the peak should be the second leader Baili Prefecture, by the way, his strength should have the late stage of foundation building." ”
Before Ye Bai could continue to ask, Jia Blind continued to confide in the information: "With the bad character of Baili Prefecture, if the person called Gao Feng is still alive, the place of detention may be in the Nanshan mine. ”
"For Lao Liu's sake, I'll give you another piece of information about Baili Prefecture." Jia Blind threw Ye Bai a jade slip.
"Okay, I've drunk the tea too, and I'll tell you about it, and I should go too. Finally, I would like to give you another piece of advice, this South Sea Gang is independent on the surface, but the lord behind them is the city lord, you better be careful. ”
Jia Blind left a paragraph and left, Ye Bai was also thinking about countermeasures at this time, whether it was worth the risk.
"Let's go to the Nanshan mine first to explore the truth and reality."
After making up his mind, Ye Bai decided to go to the mine alone to have a look, and let Xi Ya check the route in the city.
