Xiang Yong was not taken directly to Ibaraki's rebel leader "Hanoi Hero" Wan Daozhong.

He was taken to a side hall to sit down, tea was served, and guards armed with magic crystal rifles were at the door.

There were no bystanders in the side hall, no books to read, no art to appreciate, and Xiang Yong began to study on his own bored.

Suddenly, an indifferent and grand voice sounded in my head: "Side quest one, the second stage is completed." 50 points are awarded per person. The third stage of the mission begins: faction selection. You have discovered Sheng Du's secret, whether you choose to keep Sheng Du's secret or tell Li Xiumei the secret, this is related to the fate of the whole world. Each person who completes the task will be rewarded with 10 points, and the next stage of the mission will begin. ”

Before Xiang Yong could think carefully, a jagged footstep came. A bearded Jianghu man who built the foundation realm took the lead, followed by several Jianghu people with swords and swords on their backs and vigilant expressions, and their cultivation was all in the foundation realm, and Hong Chi was also among them.

A group of people broke in mightily, and the bearded man stepped forward quickly and saluted Xiang Yong: "But Xiao is the hero of the zodiac in person?" Wan has always admired Venerable Beihe, but it is a pity that he is on the side. It is a great pleasure in life to have the privilege of meeting his disciples today!

Behind him was handed a jar of wine.

Wan Daozhong purred on his back, and handed over the wine jar without saying anything.

Xiang Yong smiled, took it and drank it, drank half of the jar in one go, smacked his lips and said, "Good wine!"

Wan Daozhong obviously admired his style, patted him on the shoulder, and quietly changed his title: "It's a pity that two good brothers were murdered today, but fortunately, Brother Xiao arrived in time to drive away the villains and bring our important magic crystal to Ibaraki." In the future, if Brother Xiao has a drive, Wan will never frown when he goes up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire!"

Xiang Yong smiled: "Why did Wan Daxia say this. Xiao acted only for the word righteousness, and never for anything in return. ”

Wan Daozhong looked up to the sky and laughed heroically, "The disciple of Venerable Beihe, there is indeed the style of a teacher!"

After a pause, he beckoned, and a man stepped forward, holding a tray covered with red flannel.

Lieutenant Wan Dao uncovered the flannel, revealing a pile of golden gold.

"A little courtesy, talk about thanks, and ask Brother Xiao to smile. ”

Xiang Yong pretended to be displeased: "I thought that Wan Daxia was a rare hero in the world, but I didn't expect it to be such a layman." I disdain to be in the company of the laity, farewell!"

Those few people in the rivers and lakes were suddenly excited, and some even drew their swords on the spot, which showed what status Wandaozhong had in their minds.

Wan Daozhong waved his hand and saluted Xiang Yong respectfully: "But Wan is abrupt." Brother Xiao is a member of my generation, please accept my gift. ”

Xiang Yong replied with a respectful salute: "Wan Daxia is polite." ”

"It's too much to be called a hero," Wan Daozhong said with a smile, "Isn't Wan worthy of being your 'big brother'?"

"Brother Wan!" is as good as a stream.

"What are Brother Xiao's plans next? He Lao Wu and the whole British are not mediocre hands, and the people who can kill them in an instant are naturally terrifying. And Brother Xiao can drive that person away, presumably he is also clever. Why don't you stay and join us in a great plan to overthrow this decadent empire! Since the empire wants to exterminate all of our people in the rivers and lakes, we would rather die in a vigorous battle than waste this ability!"

"Death heroes, don't be ashamed of the world," Xiang Yong had already made a decision in his heart, "Brother Wan, I am willing to join your great cause." It's just that I have a promise to others first, and I want to help someone investigate a case first. How about I wait until I finish that incident and come back to Brother Wan?"

Someone behind Wan Daozhong said dissatisfiedly: "How can being an eagle dog for the government be compared to fighting for our great cause?"

Wan Daozhong waved his hand majestically, and the man immediately stopped.

Wan Daozhong said with a smile: "Brother Xiao is a believer, and he is a promise. Then I wish Brother Xiao to investigate the case as soon as possible, and we will drink again in the future!"

"Definitely!" Xiang Yong said, "Brother Wan, can you lend me a Cloud Chasing Beast?"

"It's a small thing. ”

Wan Daozhong is a cheerful person, and he immediately arranged it.

Xiang Yong retrieved his weapons and other belongings, took a warrant for free entry, said goodbye to him "reluctantly", and rode away.

Wan Daozhong has been sending Xiang Yong out of the city hall, and in the night, watching Xiang Yong's figure riding on the cloud-chasing beast fade away, the smile on his face disappeared.

"Check it out for me right away! We must find out who killed our He brothers and Tan brothers, and avenge them!"

"Yes!"

"Send someone to contact Liu Xiongwen to see if there are any clues on his side. Urge him again to send the next batch of goods as soon as possible! This bit of magic crystal is not enough for us to fight a big battle! If the magic crystal does not reach for a day, we will not move our troops for a day, and we will not take the initiative to march to Nanjing!"

"Yes!"

......

When Xiang Yong rushed back to Jinpeng City, it was already late at night.

He found a random hotel to stay in, and the next morning, he hurried to the steam train station.

The train station was crowded with people, many with their families and large luggage, ready to flee the city.

Jinpeng Castle is too close to Ibaraki and Van Castle, and it is very likely that it will be affected by the war.

Xiang Yong didn't find Li Zhiping and them in the crowd, so he had to buy a ticket himself. At noon, the steam train bound for Southview City started slowly.

On the southbound steam train, there was no place for a cone in the carriage, and even the roof of the carriage was full of people.

On the bus to the north, there are not many passengers.

Xiang Yong'an sat all the way to the south view, and then took the public steam locomotive to the Youlu Hotel.

Half an hour after he returned to his room, Li Zhiping and others also arrived.

The five of them gathered in the room.

"Captain, what's going on with the faction selection?What secret did you discover Sheng Du?" Fan Xiaoyue asked impatiently.

Xiang Yong briefly described his experience.

Everyone is thinking hard.

Xiang Yong smiled: "If we choose to keep Sheng Du's secret, it seems to be on the camp of the rebel army, and if we choose to expose this matter to Li Xiumei, it seems to be on the camp of the empire." ”

"Theoretically, if you are in the Empire camp, the follow-up quests will be simpler and the quest rewards will be a little less. ”

"But I always felt that it wasn't that simple. Behind this incident, the water is very deep. ”

"My gut tells me that choosing to expose this matter to Li Xiumei will give us a greater benefit. ”

"Of course, this is just my personal speculation. ”

Li Zhiping was the first to speak: "Captain, you choose, I will listen to you." ”

Ye Liuli didn't speak, but undoubtedly expressed her support for Xiang Yong.

And Chen Beixuan looked indifferent.

Fan Xiaoyue wanted to speak and stopped.

"What do you think?" Xiang Yong didn't intend to turn the team into his own hall. He is the only one who makes the decision, but the opinions of his teammates still have to be heard.

Fan Xiaoyue sighed: "I know that captain, you plan to choose the latter." I just want to remind you that we must pay attention to the balance when we do side quests, and don't make it too involved and make it impossible to end up in the end. ”

"I know. Xiang Yong said lightly.

It is very likely that there is a Youtian Sect in this world that is paying attention, how dare Xiang Yong wave.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.
