Chapter 22: Simple Quest

Early in the morning, in front of the Thousand-foot Peak Mid-Mountain Supervision Institute, Luo Xiao, who came in a hurry, bowed his hand to greet Ji Ping, and said apologetically: "Senior Brother Lao Ji has been waiting for a long time. ”

Ji Ping waved his hand: "It's okay, this is where I am responsible, but it is Senior Brother Luo, your injury ......"

Luo Xiao squinted at his shoulders, which were a little bulging because of the thick gauze bandage, and said with a smile: "It's just a flesh injury, it's not a big deal." ”

Luo Xiao's shoulder injury was indeed a flesh injury, but the wound cut deeply, and the blood was also lost a lot, if it was an ordinary fourth- or fifth-order martial artist, he would have to raise it for at least ten days and a half months. However, there is Jiaowei, a super tonic that replenishes qi and blood, and there is no one that can't be replenished in one meal, and if there is, two meals. And after the hair and marrow washing, the body's self-healing ability is also greatly enhanced, under these multiple factors, just one night of recuperation, the injury has been half better, except for the temporary inability to do things with people, basically does not affect normal activities.

Ji Ping looked at Luo Xiao's face, ruddy and shiny, it really didn't look like he was injured, he was secretly surprised in his heart, and asked, "What did the inspection department say?"

Luo Xiao smiled and replied with eight words: "Trespassing on a private house, you deserve to be killed." ”

Ji Ping laughed: "Yes! This group of wild martial artists is lawless, and if it moves to the heads of our martial arts cultivation hall disciples, it should be dealt with like this, it seems that the guys in the inspection department are also annoyed by these wild martial artists." Okay, Lord Supervisor and Master Supervisor are both in the hall, can you go in and report it?"

The two entered the courtyard as they spoke, and when they came to the main hall, Ji Ping stopped and stood, while Luo Xiao stood at the foot of the hall and said in a loud voice: "Disciple Luo Xiao, see Lord Jian Zheng and Master Jian Zuo." ”

Pang Yuanfeng's majestic voice came from inside the hall: "Admit to see." ”

Luo Xiao entered in response and bowed respectfully, but at this time, at the head of the hall, the supervisor Qin Qianqiu and the supervisor Pang Yuanfeng were already seated, and their eyes were different, forcing Luo Xiao to look.

Qin Qianqiu frowned and said, "Early this morning, Wei Si of the Inspection Department sent someone to report about you...... What happened last night, and why did a wild warrior come to you?"

Luo Xiao thought for a while and said, "Last night's incident, the disciple will explain to the two adults one by one, as for why the wild warrior came to the door, according to the disciple's guess, someone leaked the news that the disciple was on duty at Longyuan Mountain that day. ”

Qin Qianqiu and Pang Yuanfeng were both shocked, glanced at each other, and their minds flashed quickly about Luo Xiao's task of guarding Longyuan Mountain, who would know. If you think about it, there are really a lot of insiders. For example, the Eagle Yang Hall who issued tasks, such as the disciples who took turns with Luo Xiao, such as the inspection deacon and several disciples who went deep into Longyuan Mountain after Luo Xiao, and so on. After careful calculation, it is difficult to find out who leaked the news.

Next, Luo Xiao told the truth about what happened last night, but he concealed the matter of Jiao Scales, only saying that the mountain bears and the mountain leopards were forced to search their bodies, but they found nothing, and they were about to kill the killer.

In the process of narrating, Luo Xiao tried his best to aggravate the injuries of the mountain leopard and the mountain bear, listening to his description, as if these two people had run out of oil, even if an ordinary cropper carried a hoe, he could knock these two people over.

Qin Qianqiu and Pang Yuanfeng looked at each other, although they felt incredible, they had to believe it. At the same time, they also recognized Luo Xiao's analysis, and someone did leak the news.

After Luo Xiao finished speaking, Qin Qianqiu knocked lightly on the desk, pondered for a while, and said, "In view of your situation, I will give you two choices now." The first is to turn to the inner lodge and stay in the martial arts hall to be safe, and the second is that you receive a mission to go out and stay away from right and wrong, even if the news leaks and no one can be found, those wild warriors are helpless. ”

Pang Yuanfeng also said: "No matter which one you choose, at most you will endure it for a month, and the city guard mansion will not let these wild warriors stay for too long, and sooner or later they will be driven away." ”

Luo Xiao's mind turned, analyzing the pros and cons, if he stayed in the martial arts hall, it was equivalent to putting himself in the light, and others could plot as much as they wanted. Xiuwutang is not a military and political powerhouse, and it can't stop skilled samurai. He Luo Xiao is not an important person, he is just an ordinary red belt disciple, and he will not have any key protection. Therefore, choose one, he is a target standing in the open, very passive and dangerous. And going out with a task is to turn light into darkness, stay away from right and wrong, and you can also do tasks and accumulate merit by the way, killing two birds with one stone, why not?

Luo Xiao's mind was racing, and he quickly made a decision, and saluted Qin Qianqiu: "The disciple is willing to go out on duty." ”

Qin Qianqiu bowed slightly, and called in a deep voice: "Ji Ping." ”

Ji Ping, who was standing outside the hall, hurriedly turned around and saluted the main hall: "The disciple is here." ”

"Go to the Eagle Hall and get a copy of the mission. ”

"The disciple obeyed. Ji Ping's expression was calm, but he was surprised in his heart, this means to let this Luo junior choose the task? But the self-selection task is the right of the red belt disciple and above, how can the yellow belt disciple be? But after thinking about it, it seems to make sense. The self-selected task stipulates that only red-belt disciples and above can take over, the purpose is to protect low-level disciples, and judging from Luo Xiao's situation at this time, going out to avoid the limelight is the best protection. Rules are dead, and it is the right thing to do to be flexible according to the specific situation.

It should be said that Ji Ping's idea is correct, but the facts are not so complicated, but some people want to keep a low profile for unavoidable reasons, and some people just return favors.

Soon, Ji Ping took the task copy and handed it to Luo Xiao.

This is Luo Xiao's first time looking at the task section, and he didn't have this qualification before. If you don't know it, the mission of Eagle Yangtang can be described as strange, ranging from finding cats and dogs for people, to killing thieves to keep one side safe, to joining the army as a volunteer warrior and participating in the patrol and defense of the Tul people and surrounding countries...... It's really all-encompassing.

Luo Xiao took a general look, settled down, and began to search the taskbar according to the indicators he had set.

His selection criteria were threefold: first, the time was long enough, at least more than a month, second, the distance was far enough, at least thousands of miles away, and third, the task was moderately difficult and the merit points were considerable.

In this way, there is no need to say that those who are looking for cats and dogs, the border defense will turn into a border conflict at any time, but in terms of his strength, it is weak, and mixing without permission is equivalent to death. It was feasible to kill the thief, but when he looked closely, the original large page was all killing tasks, but they were all crossed out in just half a month, but it was not the red line for completing the task, but the blue line for the mission to fail.

Luo Xiao pondered for a while and realized that it must have been the work of the rangers and lone warriors who had recently poured into the three cities of Heshuo. Because these are mostly bounty announcements, there is a reward for killing these thieves on the side of the castle guard. With so many warriors from all over the world pouring in, how could the thieves under the jurisdiction of Heshuo County not be unlucky? Probably this is also the only positive side that the large number of wild warriors who poured in due to the Longyuan Mountain incident brought Heshuo County.

Luo Xiao flipped from the front to the back, and then from the back to the front, when he was moving from time to time, there was a fluttering sound of the wings of the spirit pigeon outside the hall, and then Ji Ping held the pigeon in one hand and walked in quickly with a paper roll in the other.

"Eagle Hall has added a new mission. ”

Ji Ping wanted to give it to the two adults to look at, but Qin and Pang saw that the color marked on the paper scroll was ordinary first-class blue, so they lost interest and waved their hands to hand it to Luo Xiao. With the identities of these two, it is not a red emergency mission, and it is impossible to enter their eyes at all.

Luo Xiao thanked him and took a look, task: go to Baicao City and retrieve information. Merit: 20 points.

The content is simple, but informative. Baicao City, Luo Xiao knows, it is the westernmost city of Wuyang Country bordering the Tule people, he has not been there, but he has learned in the history of the countries, and it is about 1,500 miles away from Yishui City. Because it is a border city and an important border trade place, the Xiuwutang in each city has an intelligence point there, and under normal circumstances, there is a summary and report of information every month.

Although Luo Xiao is not very clear about this, he can also guess seventy-seven eighty-eight. To say that this task really meets his standards, the distance is far enough, and it takes more than a month to go back and forth, just handing over information normally, there is not much danger, and the merit points are not low, most of them are because of the long distance and tossing, which is considered a blessing...... It's just that he has a question, this distance is not short, why do you need to pick up and deliver it by manpower?

Luo Xiao didn't know about this situation, but Ji Ping was clear about dealing with various affairs by Qin Qianqiu's side, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Luo doesn't know, he does use flying pigeons to pass books on weekdays, but it is limited to spring and summer, and not in autumn and winter." Needless to say, the winter is too cold, and the grassland is outside the White Grass City, and the autumn is the season for falcons......"

Now Luo Xiao understood, and immediately saluted Qin Qianqiu and Pang Yuanfeng: "Disciple, choose this task." ”

Looking at the back of Luo Xiao's retreat, Pang Yuanfeng smiled: "Level 1 blue task, this kid is lucky, he just happened to bump into such a simple and suitable task." ”

Qin Qianqiu also smiled: "I hope that after he comes back, Yishui City can return to peace." ”
