Chapter 186: Calculation

After Xiaoba's detailed description, after several modifications, the portrait of the woman is similar to the Xinqu in Xiaoba's impression, and the portrait of Xinqu painted by the woman is vivid, which makes many people who secretly watch it express their heartfelt admiration.

"Childe, do you think that's okay?" asked the woman as she handed the painting to Hachi.

Xiaoba took the painting, looked at it for a long time, and finally blinked his eyes, secretly wiped his eyes with his hand, and then said to the woman with a smile: "Thank you, Miss, if it weren't for you, I really don't know how much it would take." ”

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and this is all because of the good description of Childe. From the fact that Childe can describe this woman's appearance in such detail, she must be very important to Childe, right? Please forgive the little woman for being presumptuous, this is Childe's wife?"

Hearing the word "wife", Xiao Hachi was stunned for a moment, and Xia Yu beside him was also stunned at the same time, his two eyes were wide, staring at Xiao Hachi tightly, waiting for his answer, looking at the same time, he was much more nervous than Xiao Ba.

Xia Yu's "murderous aura" made Xiao Ba's back cold, he didn't have to think that he knew the origin of this "murderous aura", and the trance of the previous moment had disappeared at this time, Xiao Hachi quickly waved his hand and said, "No, she is my sister." ”

"Oh, I see, that son must be in a hurry to find her, hurry up and release the task, I hope that the son can reunite his sister and brother as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, thank you. Under the woman's reminder, Hachi turned to the woman behind the counter who had caused a series of conflicts before, and said, "This painting is always okay this time, right?"

The woman also knew that she had done something wrong before, and even the man who was secretly called the "Hell Enforcer" by the mercenaries bowed her head, how dare she still be dissatisfied, so she quickly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I will arrange it for you immediately, I don't know how much you plan to offer a reward." ”

"How much" Xiaoba thought for a moment and said, "Fifty thousand taels of gold is good." ”

As soon as Hachi's words came out, the hall, which had already been a little chaotic, suddenly became quiet again. One of the two mercenaries not far away whispered to his friend next to him: "Dude, I heard me right, he said 50,000 taels of gold?" The other swallowed his saliva and said, "It looks like this." ”

Although 50,000 taels of gold is a lot in the commission of the mission, it is not particularly high, but if it is just a task to find someone, then 50,000 taels of gold is definitely shocking to the audience. Because ordinary people come to issue a search mission, at best, a few hundred taels of gold, some powerful people may be higher, thousands of taels, but no matter how high it is, it is rarely seen.

"Are you sure it's fifty thousand taels of gold and not silver?" the waiter at the counter asked again.

"Well, it's gold. "Xiaoba easily reached, in fact, Xiaoba didn't know how much 50,000 taels of gold was, and he didn't know the exchange rate of gold and silver, so in his opinion, he had 100,000 taels of gold, and he took out half of it to find Xinqu, in fact, it was still saved, he was afraid that there would be other additional expenses to use money, so he kept half of it, otherwise, he might put 100,000 taels directly into it. Compared with gold and silver, Xinqu is much more important to Xiaoba, and Xinqu also has an answer that Xiaoba must know.

"Uh, fifty thousand taels of gold, can you tell me the identity of this woman? We need the real identity to find it, please don't hide anything. ”

"I'm not hiding it. Hachi said with wide eyes.

The waiter asked in a low voice, "I know you may have said this because it is inconvenient to speak, is that person a princess of any country?"

Xiaoba almost didn't get out of the fun when he heard it, especially when he saw that the waiter still looked serious, he spread his hands and said: "No, she is from the same mountain village as me, what I said before is true, and I didn't hide it, just release it like this." ”

Xiaoba's words clearly reached everyone's ears, and suddenly someone hung his head unbalancedly and said: "Oh my God, there is no heavenly reason, I live on the tip of the knife every day, blood comes from oil." After saving a few hundred taels of silver for so long, he was going to marry a daughter-in-law, and this child said that he was from the village, and now the children in the mountain village are so rich? ”

A businessman next to him who came to issue a task said: "Hey, isn't it, I've been in business for more than 30 years, I just bought a house, this guy is a child in the village, and it costs 50,000 taels of gold to find someone. ”

The discussion didn't last long, because after Xiao Hachi couldn't finish the task, everyone rushed to ask Xiao Hachi about the task sent by Xiao Hachi, and for a while, people passed from person to person, word to word, and soon a large number of mercenaries rushed in from outside in a rough and angry manner, understanding the huge search task issued by Xiao Hachi. For a while, this task seemed to have become a topic that the mercenaries had to discuss before and after dinner.

For this, of course, Hachi is very happy, after all, the more people help him to find it, the greater the possibility of finding Xinqu, all he has to do now is to go back to the inn and wait for the mercenary association to give him an answer. After saying goodbye to the woman and the old man who helped him draw, Xiaoba left the Mercenary Association with Xia Yu.

Soon after they left, the woman and the old man also walked out of the mercenary association, after going out, the two walked to a secluded corner, the old man said in a low voice: "Princess, why did you signal the old man to make a move before? This may affect our relationship with the mercenary association, and will have an impact on our plans, is that person the old time of the princess?"

The woman shook her head, "No. ”

"I also asked the princess to explain the old minister's doubts. The old man saluted and said. In his heart, he really can't understand that he is accompanying the princess of a dignified country, if he used to let himself help because the princess didn't look down on the mercenary association to oppress people, although this is not a very correct choice, it can still be explained, and he is also a little relieved to have such a sense of justice, after all, there are few people in the imperial power who are constantly interested. But then the princess stooped down to help the man paint a portrait, and lowered her status in her speech, which made the old man very confused.

The woman glanced at the old man and said softly: "Uncle Zhao, if you hadn't protected me along the way, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of others a long time ago, so our uncle and nephew don't need to be so polite." Do you want to know why? Do you remember the banquet nine years ago? When you and Uncle Fan went with you? ”

"Chaotian Banquet" The old man groaned for a while, "Are you talking about the Chaotian Banquet once every ten years?"

The woman nodded and said, "Yes, that's it." ”

"But does Chaotian Banquet have anything to do with that person just now?" the old man asked.

"I'm not sure, but when the enforcer attacked him just now, he pulled the clothes off his chest, do you remember? I don't know if you looked closely, there was a sign on his chest with eight characters written on it. ”

"I didn't pay attention at the time, what's wrong with this brand?"

"I've seen this brand at the original banquet. The woman's voice deepened.

Hearing this, the old man was taken aback and asked, "You have seen it at the Chaotian banquet, who brought it?"

The woman gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words, "Celestial"

"What!?shh!" The old man covered the woman's mouth and said in a low voice: "You can't talk nonsense, have you really seen it in the gods?"

"Uncle Zhao, can I still lie to you? Do you remember that I disappeared for a short time at the Chaotian banquet? That was when I was young and ignorant, I went to look for a toilet, but I accidentally ran into a room, and the god was changing clothes in the room at that time, and I saw that I also carried such a sign on my chest, but the sign said two. ”

"So you just now," the old man asked, his eyes wide.

The woman nodded heavily, clenched her hands into fists and said: "Yes, if he really has something to do with the gods, then even if we can't muster enough combat power here, our plan can be completed, and I trust my intuition, and even if he has nothing to do with the gods, do you think a guy who can casually take out 50,000 taels of gold to find someone will be a person with a very simple background? So befriending this person is only good for us, and there is no harm." ”

Looking at the woman's firm eyes, the old man's eyes showed a trace of unbearability, gently patted the woman's back, and said softly: "Child, you are what I watched grow up, sometimes you are like my own niece, although I am protecting you during this time, but I know that for this plan, you actually have to work much harder than me, an old guy, it is because we are incompetent, we did not defend the country, and we fell this burden on you." ”

"Uncle Zhao, I'm fine, we will definitely succeed in recovering the country, let's go, let's go back and rest and rest, and by the way, investigate the origin of that person. With that, the woman stepped forward.

Looking at the woman's back, Zhao Yan sighed: "I'm sorry for you, child." ”
