"Lulu, sit down. Zheng Yuan pointed to the position in front of him and said, his voice full of exhaustion.

Zheng Lulu wiped away her tears, hurriedly climbed into bed, and sat down opposite Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan stretched out his hands and grabbed the girl's two wrists, and strands of cyan yuan power flowed out, "Concentrate on the exercises, my time is running out." ”

Spread the power!

"No!"

Zheng Lulu cried and cried and wanted to break free, but Zheng Yuan grabbed it very tightly, if she used the yuan force, she was afraid of hurting the old man, so she could only let the cyan yuan force of the same attribute enter her body.

"Luck. Zheng Yuan shouted solemnly.

Half an hour later, Zheng Yuan let go of his hands, his eyes were gloomy at this time, his skin had many wrinkles, and he was too old to look good.

"Grandpa—"

Zheng Lulu trembled, the old man raised his hand to interrupt her, and turned his head to look at Zheng Siyuan, "I have been obsessed with alchemy all my life, and I know that the Dan Dao is endless and my life is endless, for so many years, I have let the two of you go, and I have not fulfilled much of my upbringing responsibilities, it is not mine." ”

He paused for a moment, took a breath, and said, "I know that your brothers and sisters are haunted by the death of your parents, and think that I am indifferent to this, but I have been secretly investigating, and only recently did I have a little eyebrows, and the person who killed the murderer back then ......"

The more he spoke......, the quieter his voice became, and the slower he became. ...... with the previous office Pavilion...... Lord—"

The words stopped suddenly, Zheng Yuan's eyes were half open, his head was slightly sinking, and there was no breath at the end of his nose!

Qianli Pavilion is a force that specializes in collecting and selling intelligence, similar to the Tianji Gate of Dali, except that this pavilion operates a wider range of businesses, and can also provide services such as searching for people and transmitting news on behalf of others.

In the City of Exile, there are many such forces, but the most famous one is none other than Qianli Pavilion.

Qianli Pavilion is headquartered in the south of the city, adjacent to the central city, the main building is built on a lively street, the building is five stories high, the door is open, people come in and out from time to time, a prosperous business.

Zhao Ziming glanced up at the three gilded characters of "Qianli Pavilion" on the plaque, and walked into the building.

A sweet-looking maid greeted her and asked with a smile, "This son, what kind of service do you need?"

Zhao Ziming had already learned the general situation of Qianli Pavilion from Xun Bo, took out a Qiankun bag and handed it over, and said, "I want to issue the highest level of search reward." ”

The sweet maid took the Qiankun bag, leaned out the Yuan Force and swept it into the bag, sensed the number of Yuan stones in it, and then returned the Qiankun bag to Zhao Ziming, stretching out her right hand, "Please come with me." ”

Walking on the stairs, the sweet maid smiled and said, "Servant Ruolan, dare to ask the son's surname?"

Zhao Ziming's face was flat, as if he couldn't see some of the charm she deliberately showed, "My surname is Zhao." ”

Ruolan's eyes flickered, "Zhao Gongzi is really young, I wonder if you plan to participate in the corps assessment?"

Zhao Ziming's voice was slightly deep, "What's the matter, in addition to having the financial resources to prove this rule, your pavilion also has requirements for cultivation strength?"

Hearing this, Ruolan's heart sank, knowing that although the other party was young, he was not a fool, so she hurriedly confessed, put away some careful thoughts, and concentrated on leading the way.

The two made their way to the fourth floor, turned a few quiet aisles, and stopped outside a room.

Ruolan knocked on the door lightly and said respectfully: "Steward Lu, Ruolan invited guests to meet." ”

After a while, the door opened silently, and a lean man of about forty stood behind the door, his eyes swept over Ruolan, and immediately fell on Zhao Ziming behind her.

Ruolan turned to the side, "Steward Lu, this Zhao Gongzi is going to issue a reward for finding people." ”

The lean man nodded slightly, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he hugged his fists and said, "Contemptible Lu Sen, Zhao Gongzi, please." ”

The room is small and spacious, with a small bookcase on the left, a long table arranged vertically in the middle, and a log chair at the front and back ends and on the right side, covered with unknown animal skins.

Zhao Ziming and Lu Sen sat opposite each other, while Ruolan sat on the right with an elegant posture.

Lu Sen asked, "Who is Zhao Gongzi looking for? How many are there? What are their names? Is there a portrait of them?"

Zhao Ziming said: "Two of you, the portrait needs to be bothered by Steward Lu to find someone to paint for me." ”

Lu Sen smiled and said, "Zhao Gongzi is lucky, Ruolan is the best painter in my Qianli Pavilion, then ask Gongzi to dictate and let her paint a portrait first." ”

Ruolan smiled and took out paper, pen, ink, inkstone and other things from the Qiankun bag, skillfully made preparations, and said, "Zhao Gongzi, please." ”

Zhao Ziming's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, recalling the appearance of Fierce and Ling'er in his mind, and then slowly described the appearance of the two, and Ruolan painted according to what he said.

After a while, Ruolan got up, put the two portraits in front of Zhao Ziming, and said, "Zhao Gongzi, can you see if there is anything that needs to be modified?"

The fierce and Ling'er on the portrait are seven points similar to the real person, and only by Zhao Ziming's dictation, Ruolan can paint to such an extent in a short period of time, but she is worthy of being the first painter of Qianli Pavilion.

Zhao Ziming pondered for a moment and pointed out several minor inappropriatenesses. Ruolan returned to her seat and quickly redrew the two paintings, the similarity was nine points, and it was lifelike. txt

Zhao Ziming saw it, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if Fierce and Ling'er appeared in front of him alive, and he said sincerely: "Miss Ruolan is good at painting." ”

Ruolan smiled slightly, "Childe praises falsely." He showed the portrait to Russon and sat back.

Lu Sen looked at the portrait and said, "Zhao Gongzi, do you just need the news of these two people, or do you entrust us to send them safely somewhere when we find them?"

Zhao Ziming thought for a moment and asked, "If I'm not in the city, can your pavilion temporarily settle my friend?"

Russen smiled apologetically, "No." ”

Zhao Ziming said: "Then escort them to the Zheng Mansion on Ningyuan Street in Yangcheng District." ”

Lu Sen exclaimed, "But the mansion of the chief alchemy master of the Dan Pavilion, Zheng Yuanzheng?"

Ruolan on the side also showed a shocked face, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Zhao Ziming.

Zhao Ziming nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Zheng Lulu's life experience, Zhao Ziming also heard her mention it by chance when she was on the road last time, she is the granddaughter of Zheng Yuan, the chief Dan master of the Dan Pavilion, if you talk about the strong background, there are few people in the entire exile land.

Lu Sen glanced at Zhao Ziming deeply, "Okay, Lu will give orders to go down and do his best to complete the things entrusted by the son." ”

Zhao Ziming asked, "How much does it cost?"

Lu Sen said: "The highest level of the search reward, but also escort, 50,000 yuan stone per person, a total of 100,000 yuan stone, for five months, if you fail to find the person that the son is looking for within the time limit, or only get the news of their fall, half of the fee will be refunded." ”

Zhao Ziming frowned and asked, "Why is the deadline only five months?"

Lu Sen said: "With the strength of my Qianli Pavilion, any area within thirty cities of exile is enough to search more than ten times in five months, as long as the two people that Gongzi is looking for are not hiding in the wilderness, there is no reason to find them." ”

Looking at Zhao Ziming's back and disappearing into the crowd, Ruolan bit her lower lip, her face slightly annoyed.

After the transaction, she tried her best to get closer to Zhao Ziming, but the latter was as indifferent as ice, ignored it at all, and was as stiff as a stone.

Lu Sen smiled faintly, "What's the matter, Miss Ruolan, your father is looking for a husband for you again?"

Ruolan said angrily: "Uncle Lu Sen, you ask knowingly!"

Lu Sen said: "In my opinion, you just listen to your father, the conditions he helped you find are not bad, why should you be stubborn? ”

Ruolan stomped her foot, "I don't want to! This girl's lifelong event, I must solve it by myself, it's not what I like, this girl doesn't want it!"

"If you like it, people ignore you. ”

"Uncle Russen!"

Leaving Qianli Pavilion, in order to be safe, Zhao Ziming went to several other similar forces and issued a commission to find Lie Meng and Ling'er.

After doing this, there was not much yuan stone left in Zhao Ziming's bag, he thought about it for a while, found a big trading house, and walked in.

He also has a large number of valuable materials, as well as some miscellaneous things, which are useless to carry with him, so it is better to sell them to a trading house and exchange them for yuan stones for cultivation.

Moreover, he also had other plans in the future, to visit the various cities of the Exile Lands, as a common currency, the yuan stone is an indispensable thing.

Zheng Yuan, as the highest-ranking alchemist in the Land of Exile, had a wide range of connections, and as soon as he left, many people came to attend the funeral.

However, Zheng's family is thin, Zheng Yuan is alone, and has no side relatives, his only wife died early, and his only son and daughter-in-law were assassinated more than ten years ago.

The famous Zheng family, now only Zheng Lulu and Zheng Siyuan remain.

The sister and brother have nothing to do, and the funeral is cumbersome and complicated, even with the help of a loyal housekeeper who has followed Zheng Yuan for decades and several old servants, it is still difficult to cope with all the matters of the funeral.

In this case, Zhao Ziming and Tang Xiaoqi didn't care about the identities of outsiders, and took the initiative to help deal with affairs, and they were busy for seven days almost sleeplessly, and finally successfully completed the funeral and let Zheng Yuan go to the ground.

Everyone gasped, and Qian Tianfeng, Zheng Yuan's former young owner and now the owner of Dange Pavilion, came to visit.

Meeting room.

Qian Tianfeng stood before he was in time, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were clear, he had a smile on his face, he shook a folding fan in his hand, and sat in the chair with a leisurely attitude.

On the main seat, it is not Zheng Siyuan, the current head of the Zheng family, who sits down, but Zheng Lulu's daughter.

Compared with a few days ago, the girl was much thinner, her chin, which was originally slightly moist, now had a sharp contour, and her cheeks were no longer as rosy as before, showing a faint pale.

Her black hair did not form a ponytail again, spread out and hung down on her waist, and her whole temperament looked like a great change, from lively and innocent to a little cold, if you are familiar with it at first glance, you have to be amazed.

At this time, her pretty face was even more cold, staring at Qian Tianfeng below, "Pavilion Master Qian, your request, I can't agree to it, the Dan Furnace Dan Fang and other things are grandfather's relics, and I will never hand them over!"
