Chapter 204: Fame and Fortune
The four major restaurants in Qingyun City have their own characteristics, the drunken moon building is noble and elegant, the five-step drunk is endless, the Colosseum business is booming, and the wind and rain building is elegant and vulgar.
Each restaurant has an intriguing highlight that keeps many diners coming back and coming and going.
At this time, in the wind and rain building, it was already full. There are not only mercenaries who have just returned from demon hunting and medicine collection in Qingyunling, but also many peers from the family sitting together and talking, and some ordinary people who often visit Fengyulou. Fish and dragons are mixed, gathering in all directions, but it seems to be coordinated in the wind and rain building.
This is the charm of Fengyulou, although the food is not as delicious as Zuiyue Lou, but it is not much different; although the price is not as cheap as the five-step drunken restaurant, it is not high; although the business is not as prosperous as the Beast Restaurant, it also makes people feel unique.
"Hey, haven't you heard, the first family of Qingyun was destroyed. ”
It was noon, and there were more guests coming and going on the first floor of the wind and rain building, and the seats were a little insufficient. On a wooden brown dining table on the left are sitting two waves of people, one of which is a middle-aged man with five big and three thick, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. On the other side were three young mercenaries with a few proud scars on their bodies, which were the feats of battle.
The two waves of people were talking happily at this time, and there was no feeling of strangeness and rejection, and the mercenary man was saying to the young mercenaries.
One of the young mercenaries who took the lead was puzzled: "I heard about it when I first entered the city, but I don't know the specific situation, this brother, do you have any gossip?"
"Tell the brothers, which powerful person did the Qin family provoke and was destroyed overnight?" the other two young mercenaries also chimed in.
In the lively restaurant, this kind of conversation can be seen everywhere, some people inquire about the Qin Mansion, some people are curious about the new owner of the Colosseum, and some people are talking about the selection of tomorrow's academy......
Seeing several young mercenaries looking at him with curiosity on their faces, the mercenary man felt very enjoyable.
This may be a common problem for every mercenary, if you know some unknown news or secrets, you will have a sense of superiority. Telling the story to those who don't know it after dinner is more vivid and exaggerated than the story told by a storyteller.
Words are known, and those who hear them are happy to see it.
This is one of the characteristics of a sake shop.
Mercenaries fight against monsters all year round, hovering on the edge of life and death, perhaps to relieve the loneliness, or to relax the often tense heartstrings, always looking for some strange fun to pass the time.
"The matter of the Qin Mansion is actually like this...... On the night of five days ago, a group of black-clothed and masked killers came from outside Qingyun City, directly breaking into Qingyun City, injuring more than a dozen city guards at the city gate. Don't you know, their methods are so vigorous that they put down all the city guards without even summoning the contract beast, and then went straight to the Qin Mansion to rob them blatantly......"
"You don't know, those people are so arrogant. What kind of place is Qin Mansion, it is the number one family in Qingyun City, and there are several powerful families with strong spirit generals, they even say that they can break through, without the slightest bit of mud and water. And what was even more unbelievable was that they defeated the Qin family's ancestors, and even killed all the Qin family's demon spirit masters and beast tamers......"
The scene was terrifying, and the battle lasted only a quarter of an hour before the curtain ended, and more than 500 people died at the hands of those killers. But the strange thing is that later, the City Lord's Mansion sent people into the Qin Mansion to investigate, and found that there were only more than 100 corpses, do you say it is very infiltrating? Those people actually destroyed more than 400 corpses in a quarter of an hour, the speed is incredible, I don't believe that they are not professional killers. ”
Seeing a trace of shock and incomprehension on the faces of several young mercenaries, the mercenary man felt relieved for a while, and continued to speak slowly.
"Why did they destroy the bodies? Of course, they didn't want anyone to know who they really were. I guess the corpses that were destroyed must have been killed by some special and world-famous combat skills, and they had to be destroyed in order to hide their identities. You must have heard of a strange thing called corpse powder, it is said that soldiers who died on the battlefield would destroy their corpses with corpse powder because they did not have time to bury and smear demon exorcism powder, so as to prevent corpse beasts from taking advantage of the weakness......"
Several young mercenaries were so shocked that they didn't even have an appetite for the food on the table.
The news of the Qin family's annihilation tragedy has already spread throughout Qingyun City in the past few days, and it can be said that it is a household name, and some mercenaries who have just returned from Qingyunling do not know much.
The young mercenary led by him suddenly asked, "The Qin family is now completely extinct?"
The mercenary man said so much, his mouth was a little dry at this time, and after taking a big sip of a glass of spirits, he responded to the young mercenary.
"It's strange to say that the old and weak women and children of the Qin family all disappeared overnight, and they didn't know where to go. Later, the city lord's mansion found a tunnel leading to the outside of the city under a rockery in the garden, and they probably ran away. But I personally don't believe that a group of old and weak women and children can escape under the noses of well-trained killers, so the only possibility is that those killers disdain to kill the old and weak women and children of the Qin family and let them escape. ”
The young mercenary nodded as if he didn't understand, and then asked again, but this time his voice was much quieter: "I said brother, do you think this matter could be done by the old city lord?" In this huge Qingyun City, there are not many forces that can have this strength, but the only force that can conclude a great grudge with the Qin family is the City Lord's Mansion, right?"
The mercenary man was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and retorted vigorously.
"Bah, what are you kid guessing, the old city lord is highly respected, and it is not uncommon to do that kind of thing. Even if the old city lord really wanted to deal with the Qin family, he would be upright and not sneaky. Who in Qingyun City doesn't know that the Qin family is always looking for trouble with the City Lord's Mansion, if the old city lord really has that thought, just deducting a big hat from the Qin family is enough for the other party to drink. ”
The young mercenary suddenly knew that he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and then ordered the shopkeeper to serve two more jars of high-quality wine. After hearing what happened to the Qin Mansion, several of them couldn't eat, so they had to drink, which was regarded as a reward for knowing everything about the mercenary man.
Cheers to the four of them and drank it down. Next to the dining table where the four mercenaries were, Xia Yun and the others were listening with their ears pricked up, but the expressions on their faces were a little weird.
All 500 members of the Qin family died under the killer?
Could it be that the more than 400 Qin family disciples they met in Qingyun Village were all fakes? The three Qin family ancestors were also fake?
This group of killers is really shameless, they have made money and gained fame. They have gained fame and fortune, and Qingyunzhai has become a coolie.
