Li Qing continued: There is one more thing that wants to trouble the thief king, I don't know if you can help me inquire, what kind of artifact is that artifact?

Li Qing said lightly: Then there is the king of thieves! When the king of thieves was about to be polite, he only heard someone outside asking to see him, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and they couldn't remember how someone still asked to see him at this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Qing and the others then walked out of the room and came to the courtyard, only to see the waiter of the inn waiting in the courtyard with a person who looked like a manager, as soon as he saw Li Qing and the others come out, the person who looked like the head immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: I don't know which one is Li Qing, the head of the Tianhuo Mercenary Group? Li Qing walked up a few steps and said lightly: I am! The man who looked like the head of the house immediately respectfully took out a golden invitation card from his body and handed it to Li Qing with both hands: "My master wants to invite head Li Qing to the banquet, and also asks head Li Qing to appreciate his face!" Li Qing stretched out his hand to take the golden invitation card and said: Who is the master of your house? The man who looked like the head of the house immediately replied respectfully: The name of my master has been written in the invitation, and I hope that Lord Li Qing must attend the banquet tomorrow night! Li Qing said: Tell your master that we will definitely go to the banquet on time tomorrow night! The man who looked like the chief steward immediately said respectfully: The villain took his leave first! After finishing speaking, after giving a salute, he withdrew from the inn and left.

Yasen stepped forward and asked Li Qingdao: Boss, who invited us to the dinner? Li Qing opened the golden invitation card in his hand, only to see that the invitation card said that Li Qing, the head of the Tianhuo Mercenary Regiment, was invited to attend the banquet at the Earl Pirobe's mansion.

As soon as the thief king saw the payment below, he said in a deep voice: This Count Pirobey is the left prime minister of the Apelo Empire, his person is deeply hidden, his joy and anger are invisible, no one knows how high his real strength is, but in the empire, his rights can be equal to the seven city lords, and he has a quarter of the strength of the city in the sky. Immediately after that, the thief king Egulas frowned and pondered: At this time, this Pirobie asked Li Qing to go to his dinner, I don't know what the intention is! And Madala also said: It seems that there is no good banquet! Li Qing smiled and said: You don't have to worry, since you are here, you can only face it, and hiding will not solve the problem, and you will just act when the time comes! Hearing what Li Qing said, the king of thieves shouted loudly and said, "Well said, when the time comes, I will accompany Li Qing to the mansion of Count Pirobey to see what kind of tricks Count Pirobey is playing?" Li Qing said: Okay, Ma Lao doesn't have to worry, it's getting late, so let's rest as soon as possible! All the flying eagle mercenaries then went back to their rooms and rested early.

The thief king Igulas said: Then I will go back first, and come back tomorrow! Farewell! Li Qing said: Then I will not send it far! The next day, the entire city of Lintian has been rumored to be boiling, and King Apelo posted a notice that a mercenary competition will be held in three days, and mercenary groups above level C can participate.

And those mercenary groups below the C level are very disappointed, but they have not left this city of Lintian, anyway, they have come all the way to get here, although they can't participate, but it is also good to see the competition of the major mercenary groups, this is a rare opportunity, the powerful strength of those legendary mercenary groups is about to be shown in front of the world, how can they not be excited, how can they leave the city of Lintian like this.

At this time, the admission card of the mercenary competition had been sold by those speculators for 5,000 gold coins each, and it was snatched up, only to make those mercenary groups who had no money beat their chests.

For the whole morning there was no sign of the king of thieves, nor of where he had gone, until in the afternoon the king of thieves Egulas appeared in the inn.

The thief king Igulas came to Li Qing's room and said apologetically: I'm really sorry, I can't find out what an artifact is? Li Qing saw the thief king like this, and asked: What's the matter? The thief king Igulas said in a deep voice: I went to inquire about the artifact last night, and then I heard that the artifact was hidden in the palace of the king of Abero, so I sneaked into the palace of the king of Abero, and wanted to see what kind of artifact that artifact was? When I sneaked into the palace of the Apello, this palace was a little too big, and I didn't find the artifact, and then I saw that the soldiers stationed in one place were particularly tight, and the number was also very large, almost three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post. I used all my strength, and then I approached the black room, but I couldn't get closer, the room was surrounded by masters, and all of them were masters, I looked at the black room from a distance, the whole room was made of black crystal, it could resist magic attacks, and it was abnormally hard, and it could prevent the breath energy of the artifact from emitting it. I'm sure that the artifact must be in that black room, but there is no way to get in! Hearing this, Li Qing said: Thank you for the thief king, you have done your best, you don't have to blame yourself, I will find another way to do this. The thief king Igulas said with annoyance: These days are really back, how can you do everything so unsmoothly! Li Qing smiled indifferently and said: "Thief King, you can enter and exit freely in the palace of the master of the Abel Luo Palace, and no one will notice it, I think this kind of strength, few people in the entire continent can do it." When the thief king heard this, this is also true, so he laughed and said: "It is also true, tonight, I will go with you to the palace of the Count of Napirobe, and if he has any misdeeds, I will steal his house, haha! Li Qing said: The thief king, you have also been busy for a day, take a good rest, and rush to the banquet together in the evening! So, the thief king rested in the inn and waited for the evening banquet to come, and Li Qing also meditated and practiced in the room, not asking about outside affairs.

Night began to fall quietly, the darkness began to slowly rule the whole city again, Li Qing and the others had also woken up from meditation, and the thief king was already waiting in the hall of the inn.

Seeing that the thief king had already changed his clothes, and it seemed that he had also used his summoned beast to change his appearance, when he saw Li Qing come out, he said: "What's the matter, no one should be able to recognize this appearance!" Li Qing said lightly: Yes, no one will recognize you as the thief king! At this time, Li Qing, Andor, Yasen, and the thief king Igulas were about to leave the Tongfu Inn and go to the mansion of Count Napirobe, and the four of them called a carriage and took the carriage to go.

The carriage turned left and right, and after a while, it arrived at the Earl Pirobe's mansion of the Apelo Empire, only to see that the earl's mansion was extremely vast, and even the courtyard where the carriages were parked was enough to accommodate thousands of carriages parked at the same time, and it was very empty.

The subordinates of Count Pirobe's mansion respectfully invited Li Qing and the other four into the hall of Earl Pirobe's mansion, and there were already many guests in the entire hall at this time.

The whole banquet was held in the vast hall of the Count's Palace, and there were more than fifty tables for the whole banquet, each of which could seat four people, until the whole hall was filled.

At this time, there were already more than forty tables full of people, and there were several people in them who Li Qing knew, as well as the War Blade Kangba and others of the War Blade Mercenary Group, as well as the Black Crow Piaika and others from the Black Crow Mercenary Group.

There are also people from other mercenary groups, among them there are some nobles from the Apelo Empire, it seems that the people who participated in this banquet are all people with heads and faces, this banquet is probably not so good, Li Qing and the others walked indifferently to an empty table and sat down.

Li Qing, Ando, Yasen, and the thief king sat on the table while looking at the guests who had already arrived at the banquet, only to see that the guests were well-known mercenary groups, various wealthy nobles in the city of Lintian, and some other rich people were invited, and many beautiful women were competing for beauty in the banquet.

At this time, the Blade Mercenary of the Blade Mercenary Regiment and several others saw Li Qing and the others coming to the banquet, so they hurriedly came over to greet Li Qing and the others.

War Blade Kang Ba said loudly: Brother Li Qing, why did you come so late, my brothers have been here for a long time! Li Qing saw the Battle Blade coming, and smiled indifferently: Why did Brother Kang Ba come so early, but I was late! War Blade Kang said cordially: Li Qing has been in the Lintian City for a while, I don't know if I am free tomorrow, come to my place, so that I can also greet me well! Li Qing said: Since Brother Kang Ba is so polite, then I will definitely visit! War Blade Kangba was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly made an appointment with Li Qing.

At this time, the whole banquet hall was in an uproar, at first glance, at least more than 80 people came, only a few people Li Qing still knew, and the others were all unfamiliar faces, and those guests gathered together in twos and threes, chatting happily.

And the most striking of them is a beautiful woman of about thirty years old, who is dressed in a dazzling dress, colorful, with her delicate and flower-like appearance, and the enchanting and glamorous temperament of the luxurious grace on her body, making it the center of the whole banquet, and the men in those banquets are like bees meeting nectar, flattering her.

Seeing Li Qing staring at the beautiful woman who was about thirty years old, Battle Blade Kang Ba laughed and said: Could it be that Brother Li Qing is also interesting to her? As soon as Li Qing heard what Kang Ba said, he knew that Kang Ba had misunderstood him, so he said: Brother Kang Ba misunderstood, but seeing that this woman had so many pursuits, he was curious, and he didn't know who she was? Kang Ba looked at the beautiful woman and said: She is famous, the entire city of Lintian is known to the royal family and nobles, down to the common people, she is the owner of Xiangyu Building, Xiangyu Peony, she is rich and rivals the country, and there is her industry everywhere in the entire empire. As soon as Li Qing heard Kangba's words, he thought in his heart, it turned out that this beautiful woman who was about thirty years old was the owner of Xiangyu Building, and it was really not simple.

Li Qing smiled indifferently and said: It turned out to be her, no wonder! As soon as he heard Li Qing say that it was strange, Kang Ba couldn't help but be curious in his heart, and asked: What is the blame? Li Qing smiled lightly and said: It's nothing, it's just that this fragrant jade peony is really as rumored, no wonder it can be so eye-catching, didn't Brother Kang see that so many men are revolving around her? In fact, Li Qing's wonder is that after eating in Xiangyu Manlou that day, the eyes of the people who peeped at him on the fifth floor were exactly the same as this fragrant jade peony, so he said that it was strange.

Battle Blade Kang Bahaha laughed and said: That's nature, that fragrant jade peony is the crown of the entire Lintian City. At this time, the fragrant jade peony glanced at here, and then said goodbye to the encirclement of those wild bees and butterflies, and walked gracefully towards Li Qing and the others.

Xiangyu Peony smiled and said to Blade Kangba: Little sister is abruptly disturbed, I don't know if the head of Blade Kangba is welcome or not? Blade Kangba laughed heartily and said: Mrs. Peony, the boss of the dignified Xiangyu Building, is here, how can I, the leader of a small mercenary group, not welcome it! Hearing Kang Ba say this, the Xiangyu Peony couldn't help but smile coquettishly, and said: Captain Kangba is really too polite, little sister is really ashamed! Then Meimu looked at Li Qing coquettishly and asked: I don't know if this is ......? Kang Ba said with a smile: This is Li Qing, the leader of the famous and latest S-level mercenary group Tianhuo Mercenary Group, it can be said that he is young and promising! The fragrant jade peony suddenly showed a color on his face, and then said with a smile: It turned out to be the head of the Tianhuo Mercenary Group, and the little sister really has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and hopes to forgive her sins! Li Qing thought secretly, this Xiangyu Peony is really not a simple character, you must know that a few days ago in the Dragon City ended the Red Chrysanthemum Courtyard, Xiangyu Hongju must have told her all the experience, but now this Xiangyu Peony showed any look at all, pretending not to know Li Qing, and greeted Li Qing warmly, it was really scheming.

Li Qing said lightly: Don't dare, that is as famous as Mrs. Peony, no one knows! The fragrant jade peony heard what Li Qing said, and couldn't help but have a different feeling for Li Qing in his heart, you know, although he is not the best in the world, but he is also one of the best, which man is not fascinated when he sees himself, and flatters himself, but this Li Qing did not put himself in his eyes at all, his expression was indifferent, as if the person standing in front of him was just an ordinary woman, and he did not react at all.

It's just to make yourself wonder if you've passed away and no longer turn sentient beings upside down.

Xiangyu Peony's face did not reveal it at all, and she still said coquettishly: Captain Li Qing is polite, this is also everyone's love. At this time, when Li Qing was about to speak, he saw a person walking over with a smile and saying, "Mrs. Peony, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Li Qing and the others looked fixedly, only to see a mighty and handsome man about thirty years old striding over, with a black bow and arrow behind him, but it was covered by a black cloak, and only a little was exposed.

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be the leader of the Black Crow Mercenary Group, Black Crow Piaika, although he was smiling and talking, but his face was still expressionless and cold.

Xiangyu Peony saw that it was a black crow Pi Aika, and hurriedly said with a smile: It turned out to be a black crow Pi Aika, today the little sister is really a feast for the eyes, and it is really rare to see the heads of the three S-level mercenary groups on the Xuanling Continent gathered today. The black crow Piaika glanced at Li Qing and Kang Ba coldly, and said in a cold voice: "If we meet today, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless in the mercenary competition!

For a while, the atmosphere became cold and unusual, full of murderous aura.

Kang Bahaha smiled and said: Haha, I want to see who is merciless when the time comes! And Li Qing didn't speak, his expression was indifferent as usual, he took a sip of the wine in his hand, and the fragrant jade peony he only looked at re-evaluated Li Qing in his heart, Li Qing is really mysterious, he has always been sad and joyless, and people can't see through what he is thinking in his heart.

Terrible, really a terrible enemy, this is Xiangyu Peony's final conclusion to Li Qing.

At this time, the crow Piaika glanced at Kang Ba coldly, a trace of murder flashed in his eyes, and then smiled and said to Xiangyu Peony: I don't know if Mrs. Peony can go to the table of our crow mercenary group and move it, let us have a long talk! Xiangyu Peony did not refuse, and the two walked intimately towards the table of their crow mercenary group, looking very intimate, as if they were intimate lovers.

The other male guests all had jealousy in their eyes, and their eyes were staring at Xiangyu Peony and Black Crow Piaika. However, Blade Kangba changed the table and moved next to Li Qing.

At this time, I only heard the subordinate guarding the door say loudly: Zuo Prime Minister Shi Lawson has arrived! Li Qing heard this, I don't know who the Prime Minister Shi Lawson is, and a look of disgust flashed in the eyes of the thief king next to him, and said to Li Qing: This Zuo Prime Minister Shi Lawson is really ashamed of our man's face, he, he doesn't like women, he only likes men, I heard that he still has a leg with the king of Abel, otherwise, I'm afraid he won't be able to be this Zuo Prime Minister. Hearing the words of the thief king, I couldn't help but feel disgusted in my heart, this is really a reversal of yin and yang.

At this time, the hall was quiet all of a sudden, obviously everyone who attended the banquet knew the affair of this Zuo Prime Minister Shi Lawson, and they all wanted to see what the man who was more beautiful than a woman was like.

Everyone couldn't help but have a look of anticipation in their eyes, staring straight at the door.

At this time, only the bell and jade ring were heard, and a man with a delicate appearance comparable to a woman, dressed in colorful clothes, graceful and graceful, walked in, accompanied by four or five samurai guards.

In the hall, there was a buzzing sound, and the inseparable topics were all about this good-looking male banshee.

At this time, Na Shi Rosen walked into the banquet hall with Nana, and his beautiful eyes slowly swept over everyone in the banquet, and said in a coquettish voice: I didn't expect that so many people had arrived now, but I was late, and I hope everyone will forgive me for getting drunk! At this time, I saw a man in his thirties, dressed in brocade clothes, and a mighty man, armed with a long sword, greeted him, and said with a smile: It is really an honor for Prime Minister Zuo to come! After finishing speaking, he covered his mouth with his sleeves and laughed coquettishly.

The thief king next to him said softly: Now that you have seen it, how is it? More charming than a woman! A dignified seven-foot man is so virtuous, it really gives goosebumps! Li Qing said with a light smile: It is really a vast world, and there are no wonders! At this time, Pirobey and Shi Luosen walked together, sitting on the main seat, looking happy and natural, and talking harmoniously, it seemed that they were getting along very happily.

Li Qing was not interested in these, he looked at the surrounding situation indifferently, drank the wine in his hand, and was happy, at this moment, he suddenly felt a hostile look at him, and looked at it, it turned out to be the women of the Demon Martial Sect, and he didn't expect that this Demon Martial Sect was also invited, it seemed that the entire Lintian City had people with heads and faces who were invited.

And on the table next to the Demon Martial Gate, there were dozens of men who were unusually strong, burly, and had a cold light in their eyes, all the time looking at Li Qing and the others.

Seeing this situation, the Battle Blade Kangba, who was sitting at a table next to him, said to Li Qing: Those few who have been watching us are the chief hall master of the Apelo Empire Martial Arts Alliance, Baslin, and his strength is not weak, and most of the guards of those nobles in Lintian City were summoned from them. Li Qing said: I see! It seems that he still has a lot of hostility towards us! Blade Kangba said: That's true, their martial arts alliance has always looked down on our mercenary association, but they can't fight our mercenary association, so they are full of hostility to our mercenary group, and the most important thing is that many people have joined the mercenary group after learning their skills in the martial arts hall, which makes him even more hostile to our mercenary group! Li Qing said indifferently: So that's what happened! And at this time, the left prime minister Shi Luosen's bright eyes had just swept to the place where Li Qing and the others were, and when he saw Li Qing, his beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and he was attracted by Li Qing.

That Shi Lawson seemed to have discovered a new world, and his beautiful eyes couldn't stop looking at Li Qing, and he covered his mouth and smiled from time to time.

Shi Luosen only felt that this Li Qing was handsome and extraordinary, with starry eyes and sword eyebrows, and an elegant and chic aura on his body, as if he did not take the things of the world to heart, and at the same time exuded the majestic temperament of male masculinity, and felt that he had to surrender to his thoughts.

I saw that after talking to Pirocca for a while, Na Shi Lawson stood up and walked towards Li Qing and the others, his demeanor was graceful, it was really extremely feminine, and he could hardly see the breath of a man.

Li Qing and the others couldn't help but look at Shi Luosen who came over gracefully, not knowing what he was talking about when he came over.

I saw Shi Luosen walk up to the table of Li Qing and the others, and said in a coquettish voice: You are very angry, I don't know if I, Shi Luosen, can I have the honor to know you? Hearing that Shi Luosen has found him, he can't help but answer, and replied lightly: Under Li Qing! That Shi Luosen suddenly showed surprise on his face, and covered his mouth with his hands and said: It turned out to be Li Qing, the leader of the newly S-class mercenary group Tianhuo Mercenary Group, I really don't know the hero!
