After Qin Wen and Xiao Zheng finished lunch, Xiao Zheng walked out of the restaurant with a drunken spirit, and said to Qin Wen: "We don't have anything to inspect this afternoon, I'll just go back and say it to Team Lu, you go back first, and wait until tomorrow you can go directly to the camp to find me." ”

Qin Wen watched Xiao Zheng drunkenly walking towards the patrol camp, knowing that there was no problem with these wines for him, and he could completely dissolve the drunkenness by running his vitality, but Xiao Zheng only kept himself drunk, and there was only one explanation, that is, he was borrowing wine to kill his sorrows, and every monk who came here from outside should have secrets that he didn't want others to know, Qin Wen didn't go back directly as he said, but sent him back to the camp with Xiao Zheng.

After Xiao Zheng handed over the taxes collected today to Lu Team Zheng, sure enough, Lu Team Zheng did not check the matter of the two of them drinking, but just asked Qin Wen to send Xiao Zheng back to the room, and saw that Qin Wen was still wearing ordinary clothes, so he took out a set of gray shirts and tokens of patrol monks and handed them to Qin Wen, and then continued to go back to the inner room to practice.

After Qin Wen sent Xiao Zheng to his own room, he found a place in the camp to change into the clothes of a patrol monk, turned around and walked out of the camp, anyway, Xiao Zheng had already said that there was nothing to do this afternoon, and he was going to go back to see how the courtyard Lu Mo was looking for was.

Walking back to the inn, the shopkeeper saw Qin Wen in the front yard wearing the clothes of a patrol monk and entered the backyard, so he greeted him with a slight smile: "Guest officer, when did you enter the patrol camp?"

Qin Wen nodded and said, "Team Lu, who I just met yesterday, today is the first day on duty. Then the shopkeeper exchanged a few words with him before walking back to the front yard, Qin Wen knew that this was the shopkeeper who was close to him, although with the power of the backstage boss of these inns, even Lu Teamzheng would not take it seriously. However, it is also the habit of businessmen to make more friends.

After entering the main hall, Qin Wen saw that Lu Mo and Ao Yu were discussing something with Han Duan and Zheng Pu, while Lu Tiancheng was standing in the corner, looking a little restrained, Qin Wen asked, "What are you guys talking about?"

At this time, Lu Mo said to Qin Wen with a little excitement: "Qin Danshi, we found a place to trade houses today. In addition to those smaller courtyards and single rooms, there are now a total of three that are more suitable for us, I have looked at all three courtyards, I originally wanted to come back and let you have an idea, just at noon, I talked to Han Danshi and Zheng Fushi about this matter, and we are also discussing that place is more suitable. ”

Qin Wen casually sat on the Taishi chair next to him and asked Lu Mo, "Where are these three courtyards in the city?

At this time, Lu Mo put the few drawings in his hand on the table in front of Qin Wen, and first pointed to a location near the inn in Dongcheng and said, "This is the first courtyard we have seen. Inside is a small courtyard with two entrances, which is relatively close to where we live now, and we can live in it completely, and the price is also cheap, asking for more than 500 high-grade spirit stones. ”

Qin Wen saw that Lu Mo handed over the sketch of the courtyard he had drawn again, and asked slightly, "What about the other two courtyards?"

At this time, Lu Mo moved his finger to the middle of the map of the Expulsion City, and said, "This courtyard is relatively close to the center of the city, and the people living nearby are all rich merchants and powerful families in the city. Although the yard is also two-in, the space is a little smaller. The price is also high. ”

As he spoke, he handed Qin Wen another sketch he had drawn, and Qin Wen looked at it, it was indeed compact, and asked, "Then how many spirit stones does this cost?"

Lu Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "This one costs a thousand high-grade spirit stones, and the person who lived in it before was also a Dan Master." The interior is relatively quiet, and I think there are two ready-made Dan rooms. ”

Qin Wen nodded and said, "This place is good, isn't there a third one, where is the other one?

Lu Mo handed a sketch of zuihou to Qin Wen and said: "It's okay if you don't look at it, although the place is big, it is relatively close to the outside." It's not within the scope of the city wall, and although the spirit stone doesn't have much, the safety can't be guaranteed for the time being. ”

After listening to Lu Mo's words, Qin Wen took the sketch and looked at it, only to see that it was a wide courtyard, according to the above marking, it was almost three times larger than the previous two courtyards combined, so he asked, "How many spirit stones do you need for such a big courtyard?"

Lu Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "As long as three hundred high-grade spirit stones." ”

Listening to Lu Mo's words, Qin Wen and the others thought that they had heard it wrong, and Lu Mo then pointed to the map of the Expulsion City and explained: "The location of this courtyard is at the outermost part of the junction of the East City and the North City, and it is also outside the city wall, and the courtyard inside has basically been destroyed. ”

Qin Wen followed Lu Mo's finger and looked at the location of the courtyard, which was at the very edge of the eastern city near the northern city, where there was almost no private land outside, and it was the only area where the expulsion city intersected with the mountains and forests, and I heard Lu Mo say that it was still outside the maintenance of the city wall, and it seemed that it was indeed a place that was easy to be robbed.

Looking at the three sketches in front of him, Qin Wen couldn't help but fall into contemplation, and after half a pillar of incense, Ao Yu said with some hesitation: "Brother Qin, which of these three courtyards should we buy?"

Qin Wen's fingers gently slid over the three sketches, then patted them, and made a decision: "These three courtyards have their own benefits, and these prices are also within my affordability, since we are going to lay the foundation in the Expulsion City, of course, the more space we occupy, the better, Lu Mo I will give you the spirit stone tomorrow, and we will all need these three courtyards." ”

Hearing Qin Wen's decision, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, Han Duan thought for a while and said: "Teacher, although these three courtyards are not expensive, we may not necessarily buy them all, now we are relatively short of manpower, even if Lu Tiancheng is counted, it is only eight people, and there are less than three people living in each of these three courtyards, and there are still problems with the safety of the courtyard outside." ”

Qin Wen nodded and said: "What I'm talking about is buying it first, and it doesn't necessarily mean moving there to live now, we can live in these two courtyards inside, as for the courtyard outside, buy it first, and when we have extra manpower, we can also arrange it there, so as not to make a mess in the city when we increase the number of people." ”

As he spoke, Qin Wen first took out the small courtyard near the center of the city and said: "Just like this courtyard, safety is guaranteed, we can let En Ning and Shuang'er live in it to practice, and there is also a fire mouth, Han Duan and I can also go to refine the pill, and we will all have a room inside." ”

Then he took out a sketch of the courtyard in Dongcheng and said: "This courtyard is relatively close to the place where I am on duty, I can usually live here, compared to the courtyard in the center of the city, it is most convenient to buy spiritual objects here, and if you recruit people in the future, you can also live here first, and we can put the courtyard outside there first, and wait until there are enough defense measures." ”

Qin Wen looked at the sky outside at this time, it was just past noon, and he got up and said: "It's still early, why don't we go to these three courtyards together to have a second look, and we can also familiarize ourselves with the location, if it is suitable, we can move over after Lu Mo hands over the spirit stone tomorrow." ”

Since the monks of the trading courtyard had already brought Lu Mo to these three courtyards at noon, Lu Mo did not take everyone to find the monks of the trading courtyard again, but directly took Qin Wen and everyone to the courtyard near the center of the city first, and it took almost half an hour to walk from the inn to the center of the city, which once again witnessed the enormity of the expulsion city for Qin Wen.

It seems that Lu Mo and the others have put their time on the road in the morning, there is half a pillar of incense time from the inn to the nearest courtyard, and it takes half an hour to reach the courtyard in the center of the city, if they go to the courtyard outside the city wall, it is estimated that it will take more than an hour, so turn down, according to the distance, they only walked one-third of the diagonal of the expulsion city.

After coming to the courtyard in the center of the city, because they didn't have the key on the door, in order to avoid trouble, they didn't fly directly into the courtyard, but walked along the four walls, Qin Wen saw that this place was similar to what Lu Mo described, so he nodded and said: "This place is good, Lu Mo will buy it in Ao Yu's name tomorrow, I am now on duty in the patrol camp, and it is easy to cause others to covet if there is more real estate under my name." ”

Lu Mo nodded, and walked directly to the east with Qin Wen, the second set of courtyards they wanted to see was also on this parallel line, after looking at two sets of courtyards in succession, Lu Mo continued to walk east, until he passed through the street, and the dilapidated city wall, zuihou came to the courtyard outside when he saw the private fields and mountains and forests in the distance.

In Qin Wen's opinion, the entire courtyard should have a radius of 100 acres, although the stone wall outside the courtyard is not old, but there are also some gaps and traces of fire that have been opened, and they have turned to the front gate of the courtyard, and the dozens of steps in front of the door are overgrown with wild grass, and the gate does not know who has unloaded it.

After stepping into the courtyard, the entire courtyard was like a battlefield that had encountered war, and only the ruins everywhere could vaguely see the previous scene, Lu Mo said in a low voice at this time: "Master Qin Dan, I heard from the monk who sold the house that this courtyard was looted by the group of idle monks in the mountains and forests thirty years ago, and there was basically nothing left at that time. ”

Qin Wen nodded slightly and said: "This place will be written in your name tomorrow, after you buy it, don't fix it first, just leave it like this, and talk about it when we are useful." (To be continued......)
