Jade Dragon City, in an inn.

Liu Bolong sat down in his chair gloomily, and the sorrow on his face was almost overflowing.

Chen An, the leader of the guards, sat opposite him, and his expression was not much better.

The atmosphere in the room was dreary and oppressive.

After a long time, I heard Chen An sigh and said: "Boss, if you don't forget it, just treat the goods as if they were robbed by someone on the road, so let's be fine." ”

"Lao Chen, you don't understand the importance of this batch of goods to me, for this business, I emptied my family and took a huge risk to cross the no-man's land to this foreign land, in order to make money."

"Now that I have lost both my money and goods, my Liu family is finished, how can you let me swallow this breath?" Liu Bolong said with a sad and indignant face.

Chen An stopped talking after listening.

Because he knew that what Lyubolon said was the truth.

It wasn't until a moment later that he gloomily said, "It's all my fault for my incompetence and failure to protect the caravan." ”

Liu Bolong shook his head, "You can't be blamed for this, if you want to blame, you have to blame me for being a ghost, I actually listened to the nonsense of this group of people, and finally ended up like this." ”

"The only thing that makes me wonder is that there is such an arrogant and domineering group of people in the city, doesn't Jade Dragon City care?"

"Maybe they're all in this together." Chen An said in a low voice.

Lyubron's expression froze.

That's what worries him the most.

Because that means that you will never have a chance to turn over.

"Damn, eating people without spitting out bones, it's even darker than the Black Wind Village in no man's land." Liu Bolong could only curse in a low voice with despair on his face, and he didn't know what to do otherwise.

As he said, for this business, he bet all his net worth.

I didn't expect that the extremely risky no-man's land came over without danger, but it was planted in the Jade Dragon City in this outer land.

At that time, Lyubolon escorted the goods all the way to this poor land.

Although Jade Dragon City has a great reputation and is close to the famous mountain Jade Dragon Mountain, it even successfully held the opening ceremony of the Thirteen Sects of Huawai this time.

But in fact, it has been developing very ordinary.

Many trading houses will consciously or unconsciously avoid this area, which also leads to the underdevelopment of trade here.

As a result, the prices of goods here are much higher than elsewhere.

This is also the reason why Liu Bolong traveled thousands of miles to come here to do business.

He thought about making a lot of money this time, and then he washed his hands and became a rich man who was happy and carefree.

Unexpectedly, not long after arriving in Jade Dragon City, all the goods he escorted were "eaten" by a trading house in the city, and the price given was not much worse than the market price.

At first, Liu Bolong was still a little happy, thinking that this would be both trouble-free and worry-free.

I don't have to bother selling the goods anymore, I just need to settle the money with the trading house, and I can leave.

As a result, I didn't expect to wait for a few months, from the cold winter to the spring flowers.

During this period, Liu Bolong went to this commercial bank countless times to ask for money, but in vain.

At the beginning, this firm would use various reasons to prevaricate, and then it simply didn't even pretend, and after it went, it was two words, no money.

Lyubon knew that he had met a liar.

At first, Liu Bolong was not particularly flustered, because he was not a fool, and the reason why he reached a trade with this trading house in the first place was because there were several large shops in the city as guarantees, and he also signed an agreement.

The words in black and white, with handprints, can be said to be irrefutable.

Therefore, when it was discovered that the firm planned to repay the debt, Liu Bolong first went to the person who was the guarantor.

As a result, a few shops that swore at the beginning and patted their chests to promise that there would be no mistakes, but they all did not admit it at the moment.

When the shopkeepers of the shops in the back heard that Liu Bolong was coming, they simply stopped showing their faces.

In desperation, Liu Bolong had no choice but to pin his hopes on the officials of Jade Dragon City, hoping that the City Lord's Mansion of Jade Dragon City would come forward to make decisions for him.

At that time, Liu Bolong thought very simply, the City Lord's Mansion of Jade Dragon City could not allow such a group of liars to exist under his rule no matter what.

Otherwise, isn't this a big blow to your reputation?

But after a few contacts, Liu Bolong's heart gradually sank.

It's not because of the bad attitude of the City Lord's Mansion.

On the contrary, every time I go, there is a special person to receive Liu Bolong, serve tea and water, and the hospitality can be described as very courteous.

And no matter how Liu Bolong told this story with tears in his eyes, there were people who listened sympathetically, and after listening to it, they would say with indignation that they would report the matter to the city lord, and then thoroughly investigate the whole matter.

But after Liu Bolong returned hopefully, there was no follow-up.

After a few times, even if Liu Bolong was stupid, he could see that the main thing in this city lord's mansion was a sincere attitude, but he didn't do anything.

This is clearly playing monkey tricks, even worse than monkey tricks.

Because he will give you hope again and again, and then make you despair again and again.

Liu Bolong finally understood why those caravans would deliberately avoid this Jade Dragon City.

It's cheating.

You covet his little profit, but he cares about your principal.

But it was too late to regret at this time, and during the time of waiting, many people in the caravan left.

One is because everyone can see that waiting like this will not do anything except waste time.

Second, because of such a long wait, under the feeding of people and horses, Liu Bolong has long been shy and can no longer afford the daily expenses of so many people.

walked around like this, and in the end, only Chen An was left alone to accompany Liu Bolong.

The two remained silent in the room for a long time.

By this time the sun had risen.

Outside the door, there was the sound of Xiao Er sweeping the floor.

Liu Bolong and Chen An didn't sleep all night, but they didn't feel sleepy, they were just tired.

"Boss, I'll go buy some buns on the street, if you don't eat all the time, your body will collapse." Chen An said.

Liu Bolong waved his hand weakly, and then leaned back in his chair and fell asleep.

Chen An didn't dare to disturb, got up and walked out of the inn.

At this time, the street had become lively, and Chen An came to a steamed bun shop and bought two drawers of steamed buns.

A drawer of mutton, a drawer of vegetarian stuffing.

The vegetarian stuffing is eaten by himself, and the meat is used to replenish the body of the owner.

After buying the steamed buns, Chen An was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in front of a breakfast stall in the distance.

Chen An was stunned for a moment, and then rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled.

But when I took a closer look, I saw that the person sitting next to the stall was eating tofu brain with a bowl, wasn't it the young master I met when I was in no man's land?

Chen An didn't know Zhao Ya's name, but through that brief contact, Chen An knew that this Zhao Ya's strength was extremely powerful.

At that time, Chen An thought that there would be no time to see each other after this farewell, but he didn't expect to meet again in this Jade Dragon City.

Chen Anxin jumped suddenly, thinking of a possibility.

If...... If the owner can invite this master to help in this matter, will there be a turnaround?

Although I don't know if it will succeed, I don't even know if this mysterious young master will help.

But now, he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Thinking of this, Chen An took a deep breath, and walked towards the breakfast stall where Zhao Ya was.

At the same time, Zhao Ya was drinking hot and spicy tofu brain, chatting with Shen Yunshen on the side.

"Elder, when Jade Dragon City is so big, and there is no specific location and clues, how can we find the stronghold of the Parting Building?"

Shen Yunshen didn't respond, first ate a small pickle provided by the tofu stall for free, and then took out the wine jug and took a sip of wine.

After the wine was down, he said, "What do you think?" ”

Zhao Ya pondered for a moment, and then said: "I think it's better to start with the City Lord's Mansion in Jade Dragon City first, after all, whoever is under his rule, the City Lord's Mansion should know best." ”

"Haha, it's the same as I thought, but before going to the City Lord's Mansion, it's best to inquire about the news a little first, so that you won't be blinded and deceived by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, what do you think?"

Zhao Ya nodded.

In fact, he guessed Shen Yunshen's thoughts from the fact that Shen Yunshen quietly entered the city with people, instead of entering it with great fanfare like when he was in White Tiger City.

But how do you start when you find out the news?

Zhao Ya was thinking about it, and suddenly felt something, turned his head and looked at the back, and then recognized Chen An in the crowd at a glance.

Hey, isn't this the leader of the caravan he met when he was in no man's land?

Why is he here?

Seeing him walking straight towards him, Zhao Ya knew that he should also recognize himself, so he said to Shen Yunshen.

"Elder Shen, I met an acquaintance, go over and take a look."

"Okay." Shen Yunshen has no opinion.

Zhao Ya stood up, at this time Chen An had already come to the tofu stall, and when he saw Zhao Ya, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Shaoxia, I haven't seen you for months, do you remember me?"

Zhao Ya smiled, "It's been a while since no man's land, but I don't know why you're in this Jade Dragon City, Your Excellency?" ”

Hearing Zhao Ya say this, Chen An's heart was relieved.

Either way, he remembers himself, and that's a good start.

Then Chen An said excitedly: "It's not a secret, I escorted the goods with the owner, traveled all the way, and finally came to this Jade Dragon City, I wanted to make a lot of money, but I didn't expect to encounter endless incidents." ”

"Oh? What's going on? Zhao Ya's heart moved, and he suddenly had some thoughts.

Chen An looked around with some embarrassment, and felt that it was not appropriate to talk about these here.

Zhao Ya saw Chen An's thoughts and couldn't help but smile.

"Where do you live, I'll come and look for you after breakfast, how about I?"

Chen An was overjoyed when he heard this, but he was afraid that if Zhao Ya left again, he would lose even this last glimmer of hope.

So he said, "We live in an inn not far away, you eat slowly, I'll wait for you, after you finish eating, I'll take you over, and let the owner tell you what's going on, what do you think?" ”
