Chapter Seventy-One: Miss
Su An practiced sword moves in the morning, practiced with Zhang Yuying for a few hours around noon, and left the wilderness in the afternoon to come to Liuxi Town.
There are many farmlands outside the town, and there is no edge in sight, not only growing grain and vegetables, but also producing fruits, and all of them are mechanized, and the situation is similar to that of Qinghe Farm.
Unlike the orderly and tech-rich farmland, Liuxi itself doesn't look very glamorous, with low-rise and old houses and a chaotic mix of shops along the streets.
Although the streets are wide, there are often cracks and small potholes on the roads.
The townspeople have visible sadness and numbness on their faces, and their clothes are far less refined than those of people in Jizhou City, which is completely in line with Su An's stereotype of the difference between a small town in the countryside and a big city.
Liuxi Town is not without high-end communities, Su An looked up at the center of the city, and could see several clear and sturdy buildings, they were like transcendent gods overlooking the toiling masses.
According to Zhang Yuying, it was the building of the "Shengshi Group". "Shengshi Group", also known as Shengshizong, is the largest sect in Liuxi Town, and the farmland outside the city is the industry under the name of the other party.
According to the guidance of the satellite map, on an ordinary street, Su An and Zhang Yuying walked into a hardware grocery store with almost no decoration to speak of, and it looked very messy.
"We're looking for old knives." Zhang Yuying knocked on the counter.
Behind the counter sat a teenage boy, playing a mobile game with his head down, as if he hadn't heard Zhang Yuying's words, and he didn't react at all.
It wasn't until Zhang Yuying snatched his mobile phone away that the young man in a dirty down jacket raised his head with anger and opened his mouth to ask the teacher for the crime.
However, when he saw Zhang Yuying and Su An's dress, especially when he noticed the Force guns and swords they carried, he couldn't hold back the anger on his face.
"The old knife is not here!" The teenager stared at his phone, clearly still concerned about the game.
With a snap, Zhang Yuying took out a pistol and slapped it on the counter, then took out a hundred yuan in cash from his pocket, leaned forward and said coldly with an unkind look:
"Now you have two choices, either take the money and take us to the old knife, or I'll blow your head out."
The young man stretched out his hand, quickly put away the money, and turned around and walked out of the store like a person: "Lao Dao has gone back to eat, you come with me, it's two or three hundred meters away." ”
After leaving the street and turning into the alley, only a hundred meters ahead, the young man knocked on the door of a small courtyard.
shouted inside, "Old knife, someone is looking for it", the young man didn't wait, said "It's done", took the mobile phone from Zhang Yuying's hand and left.
From beginning to end, he did not show reverence for the transcendental, only the eagerness of the moment when he saw the money, and the cleanliness and indifference when he did things afterwards.
Su An could see clearly that this teenager did not ignite the Force node.
The courtyard door was quickly opened, and a greasy middle-aged man in a leather jacket appeared, he glanced at Zhang Yuying, and suddenly realized:
"You are the Sect Master Zhang introduced by Lao Wang, right? In. ”
Yesterday, Su An and Zhang Yuying met Lao Wang, who was about to rob the road, and the latter asked the other party for the contact information of Lao Dao.
Now Lao Wang's corpse is cold, but this does not prevent Zhang Yuying from continuing to cooperate with Lao Dao. People die every day in the wilderness, and no one cares if they are not close relatives and creditors.
"I told you yesterday, there is nothing I don't know about in Liuxi Town, you can only tell who you want to inquire about, but if you can afford to pay the price, you will definitely get an answer that satisfies you......"
The old knife boasted to himself while leading the way in front.
But before he finished speaking, Zhang Yuying's pistol was already pointed at the back of his head!
At the moment when Zhang Yuying pulled out his gun, only the fourth-level old knife suddenly stopped, but he didn't act rashly, but just said in a cold voice:
"Although you are level six, if you dare to make trouble here, I guarantee that you will not leave Liuxi Town alive!"
Zhang Yuying said coldly: "Whether I can leave alive or not is my business, you had better think about how to save your life first." ”
She stood behind the old knife and used the other party as cover, and then looked into the house: "If you don't want him to die, give it to me!" ”
Su An immediately realized that there was likely to be an ambush in the house!
Liuxi Town is a land of chaos, full of bandits and dangers, even the demon monks may encounter at any time, for them outsiders, the only order here is the words "the strong are respected".
But Su An also did not act rashly, because he did not receive Zhang Yuying's hint of fighting.
After a short silence, a gentle voice sounded in the room: "Don't be nervous, we are also guests, from Jizhou City." ”
Along with the voice, it was a big man in his thirties, and the first time he saw Zhang Yuying and Su An, he showed a relaxed smile:
"It seems that you are also from Jizhou City? We're here, if not for the same mission, for the same purpose. ”
"Name, identity." Zhang Yuying did not put down the gun.
"Fang Nan, Beiyang Sect." The big man reported his home.
Without Zhang Yuying's signal, Su An took out his mobile phone and logged in to the website of the Transcendent Things Management Committee.
After checking Fang Nan's information and confirming that the photos on the website were consistent with the person in front of him, and that he was an extraordinary person with a good reputation, he nodded slightly to Zhang Yuying.
Zhang Yuying put away the pistol: "Zhang Yuying, Immortal Sect." ”
The two sides confirmed their identities, and Zhang Yuying turned her head to look at Lao Dao: "Didn't you say that there was someone at home?" ”
The old knife snorted twice, and said with annoyance: "Who told you to pull out the gun so fast?" ”
The living room of Lao Dao's house is very large, and there are four extraordinary people sitting in the room, and the outfits and equipment are all elites from Jizhou City.
When Zhang Yuying and Su An entered the door, three of them nodded their heads to say hello.
Only a woman in her twenties, with fair complexion and exquisite makeup, let out a disdainful snort from her nose when she looked up and saw Su An, and then lowered her head and continued to play with her nails.
This young woman and Fang Nan were both sixth-level transcendentals, and the other three were fifth-level.
"You go upstairs and sit down first, and I'll talk to them about it, and then we'll talk about our business. Don't worry, you won't have to wait long. The old knife said to Zhang Yuying.
Zhang Yuying looked at Fang Nan: "Are you here for the mission of the Qingyun Sect?" ”
If so, there is a possibility of cooperation between the two sides, and even if they do not cooperate, they must communicate with each other, and do not cause trouble and drag each other down in the task.
If not, then there is nothing to do, and everyone goes their own way.
Fang Nan didn't deliberately hide it: "It seems that you are too." ”
This scene made Lao Dao laugh: "This is a good thing, I am cooperating with you for the first time, you can go down and check after you buy the information from me, and see if I have deceived you." ”
"I think we can work together." Fang Nan took the initiative to suggest, "We have already bought the information, we can share it with you for free, to be honest, the task is not simple, and if we join forces, we will have a greater grasp." ”
The reason why he proposed to join forces so simply was because he had just read Zhang Yuying's information on the official website and had a good understanding of the strength and credibility of Zhang Yuying and Su An.
Beiyang Sect is not a sect in Dongping District, the two did not know each other before, but there is public information on the official website of transcendentals, the higher the military merit points, the higher the authority, the more information can be seen.
Zhang Yuying naturally didn't need to say much, and although Su An was only level four, he was holding the title of "Battle Hero", and the novice task had more than 30 million points, which made Fang Nan impressed.
Zhang Yuying did not reply immediately, but first browsed the official website, did some understanding of Fang Nan and others, and after confirming that the other party was a partner who could cooperate, she nodded and agreed.
The old knife was not very happy, and muttered: "This is a big loss, obviously you can make two money...... Hey, you should read the ...... of the yellow calendar before opening for business today."
In addition to the old knife, there was another person present who was unhappy.
The delicate-looking young woman pulled Fang Nan aside, crossed her arms and said impatiently:
"Lao Fang, why do you stuff everyone into the team? Isn't a fourth-level joining in a drag for everyone? If we are really in danger, shouldn't we still take care of him? ”
Fang Nan explained in a low voice: "My eldest lady, haven't you read his information? He is a combat hero, with a silver medal, and his actual combat power is definitely not bad......"
"What's wrong with the battle hero, I'm also a battle hero, but ......"
The young woman almost blurted out, "But my record is all fed by you", "Anyway, that kind of thing can't be counted, I don't agree with him joining the team!" ”
Fang Nan persuaded: "I think he is really powerful, we know what kind of powerful children of the nominal sect master in Jizhou City, that kid's style is not a son-in-law at first glance......"
"Then how could he be accompanied by a sixth-level guard?" The young woman said-for-tat, "With the escort accompanying the protection, can the battle record still be fed?" ”
Fang Nan was speechless for a while, and held back for a long time before saying: "It's a big deal, not counting his combat strength, that Zhang Yuying has a very good record, she must be of great help to join us!"
"Miss, you have also read the relevant information, this mission is not easy, if we don't want to give up, we should always try to use them."
The young woman didn't want to continue to fight with Fang Nan, so she waved her hand irritably: "I'm too lazy to tell you more, anyway, if there is trouble at that time, you will solve it!" ”
When the two of them were communicating softly on the side, Su An and Zhang Yuying were not idle, whispering in a low voice while looking through the information.
"When I look at that woman, she doesn't look like a guy who can fight, the others are obviously elites, how can they bring her such a drag oil bottle?" Su An asked Zhang Yuying.
Zhang Yuying responded lightly: "It's not an oil bottle, it's an uncle." The sects in society, in addition to those who work hard like us, have many assets that are of the upper elites.
"Those big men in the official yamen, because of the laws of Yan State, can't do business on their own, and they are angry about the benefits that the sect can bring, so they let their own children name themselves, and then use the power and resources in their hands to help them develop the sect.
"It's actually very common, and you get used to it later."
