Chapter 1: Finding Out the News (1)

Chu Yifei and Ling Xingyue did not set off to Yuefeng Mountain with the people of the mercenary group, just when everyone was still preparing for the departure, the two of them had already passed through the teleportation array of Tianfeng City to Haoyue City, which was closest to Yuefeng Mountain, and after a little inquiry about the situation of Yuefeng Mountain in the city, the two of them rushed straight towards Yuefeng Mountain.

Two days later, the two had arrived in a small town not far from Yuefeng Mountain.

Chu Yifei said: "Let's go to the town to rest first, and by the way, learn about the situation of Yuefeng Mountain, and then go to Yuefeng Mountain!"

Ling Xingyue nodded and said, "Okay!" Although they had made a few inquiries in Haoyue City and already had a certain understanding of the situation of the bandits in Yuefeng Mountain, they would inevitably suffer a loss if they blindly broke into Yuefeng Mountain based on that information, and once they entered Yuefeng Mountain. It will definitely alarm those bandits, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be a luxury to want to take a good rest.

After making a decision, Chu Yifei walked into a small shop at the front of the town.

At this time, it was noon, although the flow of people in the town was not very large, but the guests who came to eat in the small shop still filled the small shop, and Chu Yifei and the two finally found a table in an inconspicuous corner where no one sat and sat down.

After a long time, I saw Xiao Er running over with a sweaty head, panting and saying, "Two guests, what do you want to eat?"

Ling Xingyue glanced at Chu Yifei and found that he didn't have any special requirements, so she said, "Get a few of your best dishes, and the rest, you can just watch it!"

Xiao Er said: "Okay! please wait a moment!"

The serving speed of the small shop is still quite fast, but after a short while, the shopkeeper brought a few dishes and a pot of wine, put them on the table of the two, and said, "Please use it slowly." After speaking, he stepped aside, and his mouth was still chattering: "I'm tired, I'm almost busy, no, I'm so busy, I have to ask the boss to increase my salary!"

Ling Xingyue listened to Xiao Er's words, a light flashed in her eyes, and she stopped Xiao Er.

The shopkeeper was busy and was about to take a break, but when he heard Ling Xingyue calling him, he had to turn around and say to Ling Xingyue, "This girl, what else do you have to say?" Although Xiao Er's tone was as respectful as before, the trace of helplessness in his eyes couldn't hide from Ling Xingyue.

Ling Xingyue smiled slightly, took out a few gold coins from the space ring and handed them to the shopkeeper's hand, and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, just imagine you asking about something." โ€

The shopkeeper was originally a little impatient with Ling Xingyue stopping him, but as soon as he saw the gold coins she handed over, his eyes immediately released a strange light, and he took the gold coins and said in an almost flattering tone: "Girl, please ask, the little one must know everything, and he will say everything!"

Ling Xingyue knew that like these little citizens, the monthly salary was only a few gold coins, and now when he saw someone rewarding him with so much money, he would naturally show that kind of surprise look, and when he saw the appearance of the shopkeeper who saw the money, he didn't feel strange, and asked directly: "Has the business in your store always been so good?"

The shopkeeper thought that Ling Xingyue would ask some secret things first, and he had already turned over what he knew in his mind, but when he heard Ling Xingyue's question, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not, it's just that it's only been like this in the last few days, and there are not a few guests a day on weekdays." โ€

"What's going on?weishenme, there will be so many people these days?" Ling Xingyue then asked.

The shopkeeper thought for a while, then glanced at the two of them, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, it's all because of the bandits in Yuefeng Mountain. โ€

"Oh, how do you say that?"

"The guest may have come from other places, and I don't know much about the situation here, so I'll tell you about it now. On Yuefeng Mountain, not far in front of our town, more than 20,000 bandits are stationed, speaking of these bandits, they are some ruthless characters who kill people without blinking, they usually rob the past merchants, and as long as they bump into them, none of them can survive, after a long time, the past merchants have also learned a lesson, no longer pass through Yuefeng Mountain alone, but before going to Yuefeng Mountain, they found all the manpower, and then hired a few mercenary groups to protect, before passing through Yuefeng Mountain, no, these guests are businessmen who want to pass through Yuefeng Mountain, they are here, just to wait for more people, and then pass through Yuefeng Mountainใ€‚ Xiao Er said everything he knew, for fear that if he spoke slowly, the generous woman in front of him would take back the gold coins that had been given to him.

Ling Xingyue and Chu Yifei glanced at each other, and then asked again, "If they do this, won't the thieves of Yuefeng Mountain make a move?"

"It's that simple. Xiao Er shook his head and said, " These merchants came together to pass Yuefeng Mountain, although it did increase the possibility of safe passage, but the bandits of Yuefeng Mountain can rely on them to feed, how could they let them go, at the beginning, the bandits of Yuefeng Mountain were not prepared, but let many businessmen successfully pass through Yuefeng Mountain, but then the bandits reacted, and they no longer acted in small groups, and there were more than 1,000 people every time, so that the life of the merchants was not easy, and it was not so easy for these merchants to hire a mercenary group, and the mercenaries were unwilling to accept the commission of these people after seeing the power of the Yuefeng Mountain bandits, which was notThese merchants have been here for two days, but no mercenary group has taken their mission. โ€

"The bandits of Yuefeng Mountain endanger one side, and the Cold Moon Empire doesn't care?"

Those bandits occupy the communication arteries of the two empires, and the two empires have long wanted to get rid of them, but the two empires have sent troops to encircle and suppress them, but they have no effect, at most they will stop the people for a while, and when the limelight passes, they will not run rampant. The shopkeeper said with an angry face.

Ling Xingyue said secretly: "These are consistent with the information given by the mission, I don't know if this shopkeeper knows anything else." Thinking of this, she asked again, "Do you know the specific situation of the bandits in Yuefeng Mountain?"

When the shopkeeper heard Ling Xingyue's words, he was taken aback, took a few steps back, then looked at Ling Xingyue in horror, and then stammered, "I, I don't know! Don't ask me, I don't know anything." I'll give you back the money, I don't want it. After saying that, he took out a few gold coins that Ling Xingyue had given him, put them on Table Mountain, and then kept retreating back, his eyes full of frightened looks.
