Chapter 045: Three Ghost Money, Friends Visiting?
Zhang Xiaodao understood that the other party should not be cheating on himself, so he opened his eyes and saw his current situation clearly.
Judging from the surrounding environment, she was now in the carriage of a carriage, but she didn't know what was going on outside.
At this time, there were only two people in the carriage, she and the tavern owner.
Looking at Zhang Xiaodao with a vigilant face, the tavern owner smiled: "Don't be nervous, I stunned you before because some arrangements are not suitable for outsiders to see, and it is completely out of safety considerations, you should be able to understand, right?" ”
"Where am I now?" Zhang Xiaodao asked.
"It's no longer in Cuckoo City, don't worry, the Gentlemen's Club is indeed deeply rooted here, but it's still far from snatching people from us." The tavernkeeper shook his head and laughed.
"What gentlemen's club?" Zhang Xiaodao pretended to be puzzled.
"I understand your caution, but since Xiao Su is willing to spend three ghost coins for you as a reward, I will definitely send you to a safe place, you really don't need to be so suspicious." The tavern owner said.
"Three ghost coins?"
"Don't you know? That's my talkativeness, you can ask her yourself when you have a chance, anyway, you're safe now. The tavernkeeper shrugged.
Zhang Xiaodao had actually reacted at this time, knowing that he might have misunderstood.
The reason why the other party stunned her before should be that she was afraid that she would see some arrangements in Cuckoo City, after all, she was an outsider.
From the tavern owner's words just now, it is not difficult to hear that the path that Su Xueqi arranged for her should have paid a certain price, but this price was a certain exchange of interests within the ghost.
But even if Su Xueqi has paid the price for her in advance, she is not a ghost grinder after all.
It was impossible for them to let her see too much of the arrangement, otherwise, even if they sent her out, I am afraid that they would not be at ease and let her go.
So the best way is undoubtedly to directly make her unconscious for a while.
By the time she woke up, everything had settled.
Just like it is now.
"Thank you." Zhang Xiaodao, who realized that he had misunderstood, said to the tavern owner.
"No, there's nothing to thank for, I saved you for those three ghost money, you don't owe me." The tavern owner shook his head at first, but then asked, "But if you really don't want to go, can you tell me how you offended the Gentlemen's Club and let them go to such great lengths to find you, even at the cost of issuing a wanted warrant?" ”
"You don't know?" Zhang Xiaodao was a little surprised.
"Should I know?" The tavern owner also paused for a moment, and then understood why Zhang Xiaodao asked this, and said with a dumb smile, "Do you think Xiao Su told me about your situation?" ”
"Didn't you?"
"Of course not." The tavernkeeper shook his head and said, "The only reason I know it's the Gentlemen's Club looking for you is because they don't have any secrets under our noses, let alone making such a big move." ”
Zhang Xiaodao nodded, expressed understanding, and thought for a while before saying, "Then can I not answer this question?" ”
"No problem at all, I'm just curious, tell me if it's your freedom, you don't owe me anything." The tavernkeeper held up his hands to indicate that he meant nothing but curiosity.
"Anyway, I'm sorry for you." Zhang Xiaodao said again.
"Okay, just remember to ask Xiao Su to give me a good review." The tavern owner smiled, "Then you can rest first, and I won't disturb you." ”
Zhang Xiaodao nodded and leaned against the side of the carriage.
At this moment, her hanging heart was finally let go.
*********
"I don't know if Uncle Ji met that little fox, this time in order to save her, I was bleeding profusely." Su Xueqi complained.
Next to Su Xueqi, who is not Rorschach.
It had now been three days since Rorschach and Rex arrived in the Mountain Capital, and the Iron Wall Caravan had arrived here half a day earlier than originally expected.
Since the end time of the previous replacement was much earlier than what Rorschach had estimated, before this replacement was opened, Rorschach had already told Su Xueqi where he had settled in the mountain capital.
After Su Xueqi and the others arrived in the mountain capital, such a large group of people naturally couldn't afford to live in the high-end hotel where Rorschach and the others lived, and they could choose a relatively close one.
After Rorschach sensed that Su Xueqi had arrived in the mountain capital through the master and slave brand, he came directly to her.
As for Rex, a cheap teacher, he has often disappeared since he arrived in the mountain capital, and he doesn't know what subversive plan he is doing.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Rex can now be said to be the veritable No. 1 anti-thief in the Storm Empire!
Rorschach only begged Rex to be reliable and not to be suppressed too early, so as not to take him, a cheap disciple, with him.
But for now, Rex is still happy in his absence.
Listening to Su Xueqi's complaints in his mind, Rorschach couldn't help asking, "Who is Uncle Ji?" ”
"It's the owner of the Dream Land Tavern I asked her to go to, her real name is Jixiang, and she is the boss of our company in Sanhai Province."
Su Xueqi explained in her thoughts, "He is the old man of the company, and it is said that he is the same generation as several founders of our company, but he is too lazy, and he gradually became the head of a branch on the side of Dayan." ”
"However, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and his strength is not comparable to the boss of the general branch, for example, Tong Baibai, the old yin and yang man, is definitely not his opponent."
Su Xueqi was obviously a little unhappy when she talked about Tong Baibai, and her words undoubtedly brought personal grievances.
Of course, Rorschach knew that Tong Baibai was the first person in charge of the Tianbei branch, and the general manager of the branch, Mr. Tong.
This is also a man whom Rorschach has only heard of by name.
However, judging from Su Xueqi's attitude, this Tong Baibai is obviously not easy to match.
As for Uncle Ji in Su Xueqi's mouth, since he can be of the same generation as the founder of the ghost tuimo, he must have some skills.
The reason why Su Xueqi uses 'reduced to' to describe the other party must also be relative.
After all, Da Yan has seventy-two provinces, and Ghost Tuima has branches in more than twenty provinces, which also means that there are more than twenty branch bosses.
At the same time, although Ghost Tuima was founded in Great Yan, its sphere of influence had already spread to the whole world.
In the world, there are more than fifty positions such as branch bosses in a single province.
And that's not even to add to some of the top positions in other positions.
Just for the position of the boss of the branch, I am afraid that he will not even be able to enter the top fifty in the internal position of the ghost, which is indeed a decline for the patriarch.
However, with this kind of character as a helper, presumably Zhang Xiaodao's safety is not a problem.
He didn't have to worry about his plans dying early.
While the two were talking, they had already returned to the hotel where Rorschach and they were staying, and at this time, the familiar waitress had already greeted him, and said to Rorschach with a smile: "Mr. Rorschach, your friend came to the hotel to look for you before, and seeing that you are not there, let me pass this letter to you." ”
As she spoke, she took out a letter from her bosom.
"My friend?" Rorschach took the letter quietly and said to the waitress, "That's really a trouble for you." ”
"You're welcome, that's what I should be." The waitress smiled.
Rorschach didn't say much, took Su Xueqi to the side, opened the envelope, and quickly glanced at the contents of the letter.
