Chapter 423: A Clue Found

Zhao Sidong took the water bowl and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang doesn't have to be polite. ”

Zhang Qingyuan watched him drink water, and said enviously: "Brother Zhao, I think you are only two ten, but you can have the cultivation of a marrow cleansing warrior, you must be from a big family, right?"

This is a very straightforward question, if it is replaced by someone else, maybe he will be upset, but Zhao Sidong didn't care at all, drank the warm white water in one go, and then replied unhurriedly: "The family is there, but it can't be talked about when it's big, how big the world is, no matter how big the family power is, it is impossible to be invincible in the world, so there is nothing to envy." Although Brother Zhang's cultivation is not high, his qualifications are extraordinary, and I believe that as long as time goes by, if you meet the Master again, your achievements in the future are limitless!"

These words were not pretended to be polite, but from the heart.

As soon as they met, he sensed that this young man named Zhang Qingyuan had extremely high potential, and he was also a natural spirit body, and his cultivation speed would be more than five to ten times faster than ordinary people!

In this strange world, although the aura is not very rich, it is already a world of difference compared to the earth, if he cultivates seriously in this world, the speed of cultivation can be at least dozens of times faster than that on the earth. If you can find a place where the aura is dense, it is not impossible to be a hundred times faster.

However, Zhang Qingyuan and the surrounding village elders did not know this, and only thought that he said it out of politeness.

Especially Zhang Qingyuan, his face was a little sneering, "Hehe, thank you Brother Zhao for your auspicious words......"

Zhao Sidong saw their thoughts, but he had no intention of correcting them, anyway, if this Zhang Qingyuan had that fate, sooner or later he would meet a noble person and take him on the road to the strong.

After talking for a while, Zhao Sidong intentionally or unintentionally asked if there was anything special happening recently, and as soon as he heard this question, Zhang Qingyuan smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, the people in our small place don't have much knowledge, unlike you, so many times we think it is rare, and it may seem ordinary to you...... Let me tell you about a strange thing that has happened in the last few days. ”

Zhao Sidong nodded with a smile and motioned to him, but it didn't hurt to speak.

Perhaps in order to fight for a little face in front of Zhao Sidong, Zhang Qingyuan coughed lightly and said: "When I went hunting in the nearby mountains half a month ago, I accidentally picked up a strange thing, the shape is very irregular, and the touch on the surface is very smooth, but I can't see the material, I only know that it is not gold and jade, oh, that's it." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a black object from his bosom.

After Zhao Sidong saw the thing in his hand, he immediately lifted his spirits.

Because, it is clearly a portable headset dedicated to the Chinese military!

This also means that the person he is looking for should have appeared in this vicinity before, but one thing is wrong, the missing team was obviously only missing more than sixty hours ago, how could it appear in the nearby mountains half a month ago?

Could it be ...... This world and the earth are not in the same time dimension, so the speed of time passage between the two is not the same?

He planned to find an opportunity to verify this speculation later, but what he had to do now was to extract more information from Zhang Qingyuan's mouth.

"This thing is really very peculiar, Brother Zhang, you only picked up such a thing, it doesn't seem to be a strange thing, right?"

Zhang Qingyuan smiled, "Brother Zhao doesn't know, this strange thing is very magical, don't believe it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his finger pressed to the side of the headset, where there was a very hidden button.

As soon as the button was pressed, there was a slight 'whoosh' sound from the headset, although Zhang Qingyuan didn't know what it was, but Zhao Sidong knew very well - it was clearly the current sound of the weak current through the horn!

Just when he was about to say something, a majestic male voice suddenly came from the headset: "Bobcat, Bobcat, I'm King Kong, I'm King Kong, please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it!"

Hearing this familiar sentence, Zhao Sidong couldn't help but have a feeling of time and space confusion, and almost replied with a sentence of 'The lynx is not here, I am an eagle, it's over'.

Fortunately, his self-control ability was extremely strong and he resisted this impulse, while Zhang Qingyuan and the other natives were shouting there, but unfortunately they didn't know how to control this thing, so their voices were not heard.

After fiddling with it for a while, Zhang Qingyuan pressed the button again, and the sound in the headset disappeared.

"Well, this thing is strange enough, isn't it? It's only so big, but there's a person hidden in it, and I'm really curious, how the hell is this done......"

Zhang Qingyuan's words made Zhao Sidong stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he meant, in fact, this kind of misunderstanding is very normal, think about the first time the Chinese people saw the radio and the TV, they didn't think that there were people hidden in it.

So he smiled copingly, and then changed the topic to something else, "Brother Zhang, I heard that there will be no one in Guizhuang if you go further, I don't know if this is true?"

Zhang Qingyuan nodded, raised his hand and pointed in the direction where Zhao Sidong flew over, and said: "Yes, it is said that hundreds of years ago, there were still some villages over there, but unfortunately, in a war that affected the entire continent, the villages near here were destroyed in one fell swoop...... Our village was actually moved from other places later, and now there are only two families in the village who survived the catastrophe back then, and the others are all outsiders who moved in later......"

After listening to this very emotional introduction, Zhao Sidong echoed and sighed a few words, and asked as if unintentionally: "Do you usually have many strangers here?"

Zhang Qingyuan shook his head, "It's not much, it can even be described as rare, after all, we don't have anything here except for some game produced in the mountains, where do people usually come here...... I'll tell you the truth, you're the first stranger in the last three years!"

The first stranger?

Zhao Sidong couldn't help frowning secretly, if this was the case, wouldn't that mean that the team didn't leave any clues here?

But if that's the case, where did the portable headset in Zhang Qingyuan's hand come from?

These questions are somewhat contradictory to each other, and if he can't figure out the answers to them, I'm afraid he won't want to go back to the lost team.

At this moment, a tiger-headed little boy next to him suddenly said, "Brother Qingyuan, didn't there be a few strange people around more than twenty days ago?"

Strange people?

For the people of this world, it can be called strange...... I'm afraid it's the people of that team, right?

Sure enough, Zhang Qingyuan frowned and thought for a moment before patting his thigh and exclaiming: "Tiger Head, you reminded me! That's right, there were indeed a few very strange guys who appeared more than 20 days ago, but they didn't enter the village at that time, so I forgot about it." ”

Zhao Sidong perked up and asked with a smile: "Strange people, what kind of strange method are they?"

The little boy named Tiger Head hurriedly replied: "They have short hair, they are dressed in strange patterned clothes, they still hold iron rods with handles, one of them carries a big bag, and they don't speak like our accents......"

The little fart child even talked about it with a gesture, and Zhao Sidong suddenly had a bottom in his heart, that's right, it's them!

So he put on a very interested look, and after the tiger head finished speaking, he asked, "Where did those weirdos go?"

The tiger head touched the back of his head, and replied with some embarrassment: "I don't know ...... either"

However, Zhang Qingyuan interjected next to him: "If you guess correctly, they should have been captured by the army of Chiyang City, because the day after meeting them, someone said that there were traces of army infestation near the village." The garrison of Chiyang City is responsible for maintaining the security of the entire area around Chiyang City, and the origin of those few strange people is unknown, so it is very likely that they will be invited to tea by the city guards......"

Zhao Sidong was a little speechless, there is a witty ** of 'inviting someone to drink tea' on the earth, how can this world also have it?

But this is not the point, then he asked Zhang Qingyuan about the city guards of Chiyang City, with his superb questioning skills, it did not reveal that he did not know anything about these 'common sense', but made Zhang Qingyuan feel very excited because he could answer his question.

After figuring out the relevant information he needed, Zhao Sidong found an excuse to get up and say goodbye, turned around and ran in the direction of Chiyang City.

When he was out of people's sight, he re-took out the Feilu Sword, jumped up and shot high into the air, and after a few breaths, he had already appeared in the sky above Chiyang City.

Chiyang City, the outermost city in the southwestern territory of the Tang Empire, is a first-class border town according to the imperial hierarchy, and its military strength is very strong.

Zhao Sidong was a little puzzled, this Chiyang City did not border with other countries, what did he do with so many garrisons?

But these are only secondary, the point is that he has to find the team quickly, otherwise if they kill the people of this world, then this trip will be in vain.

The divine consciousness swept through the city below, and soon there was a result.

In a corner in the east of the city, probably a prison cell or something, Zhao Sidong found his target among the hundreds of people in chains and locks.

Before coming, he had seen the photos of the missing squad at Shen Shengli's place, and he had seen and memorized everyone's photos, as long as he met them in person, he would definitely not admit his mistake.

Of course, the more important reason is that his distant cousin, who has not dealt with much, is so easy to recognize.

If you find a target, you have to save people, but Zhao Sidong didn't dare to act rashly.

Because his divine sense scanned a very powerful being, although it was not in a cell, it was not far from the cell, and if it alarmed this person, it would inevitably bring variables to the escape.

In order to avoid the matter of saving people from attracting attention, he decided to do it in a different way, anyway, there will be no danger to those people in the prison for the time being, so let's inquire about the situation in this Chiyang City before making a decision.

After thinking about it, Zhao Sidong fell into the city incognito, appeared in a small alley with no people, and then put away the Lu sword and strode out.

After walking along the wide straight street for a while, he saw a ready-to-wear store next to him, and when he looked down at the coarse cloth clothes on his body, he stepped inside.

"This guest officer, what do you need?" a young man greeted him, although the clothes on Zhao Sidong's body were only coarse cloth clothes worn by ordinary civilians, but his temperament was extremely noble, which made people dare not underestimate him, so this young man did not put on any face.

Zhao Sidong nodded at him, "I need to buy a few sets of ready-to-wear clothes, do you have any recommendations?"

The young man said with a smile: "Guest officer, our old store of the Pan family is a century-old brand, and there are all kinds of ready-to-wear clothes, if you are not satisfied, you can also order them." I wonder what type of ready-to-wear the guest officer needs?"

Zhao Sidong's gaze swept to the display hanging on the wall, and he raised his hand to a white samurai power suit, "I want that, please help me measure the size and see if there is a suitable one." ”

The young man glanced back, and then ran back and took out a soft ruler, and measured him on the spot.

"Guest officer, your body is really standard enough, it just so happens that we have a set in the store that suits you, I'll try it for you?"

Zhao Sidong nodded with a smile, so the young man quickly went to get a set of clothes and handed them to him.

After changing into the fitting room in the store, Zhao Sidong moved his limbs a little and found that the clothes really fit.

After coming out of the fitting room, he asked for a pair of matching soft-soled boots to change into, and his long hair was tied up with a white headband.

The young man's eyes lit up, and he praised it without words, this is not that he said kind words, Zhao Sidong's image is outstanding, and this set of clothes fits very well, so it looks really good.

When it was time to settle the bill, Zhao Sidong said calmly: "I don't have any money in my hand now, I don't know if I can use other things to offset the bill?"

"This ......" the young man was a little embarrassed, the ready-to-wear store generally only accepts cash, and uses other things to offset the account, but it has never been a thing, and he can't do this kind of thing.

At this time, the shopkeeper who had been watching for a long time walked over with a smile and arched his hand towards Zhao Sidong, "This son, I don't know what you plan to use to settle the account?"

Zhao Sidong smiled slightly, flipped his hand, and a jade talisman appeared in his palm, "This trip, because of a little accident, the silver has been used up, and this jade pendant is also asked to look at the shopkeeper to see if it is enough to offset the account." ”

After the shopkeeper took the jade talisman, his eyes immediately widened, "Hiss...... This is...... Childe, the value of this item is far beyond this set of ready-to-wear, are you sure you really want to use it to offset your account?"

It's no wonder he was shocked, the jade material of the jade talisman that Zhao Sidong handed him is the best jade in this world, just such a small piece of jade, even if there is no ornament, can be exchanged for more than a thousand taels of gold.

That's why the shopkeeper said that the value of this jade talisman is far higher than that of ready-to-wear, and he can't believe it.

However, for Zhao Sidong, this mere jade talisman is nothing at all, not to mention that there is a lot of storage space in him, even if there is not much, as long as it is useless, he will not feel distressed.

"It doesn't matter, if the shopkeeper has the heart, convert a price for me, just as if I was selling it to you, it's a big deal if you add some cash to me. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was first overjoyed, and then his face turned gloomy, and he said with a wry smile: "This son doesn't know, if you put this piece of jade pendant of the best jade quality in the auction house, you can sell thousands of taels of gold at least, so much money, I'm afraid that our store won't even be able to take out a fraction...... Don't hide it from my son, the cash that can be used in the store now is only four or five hundred taels of gold, and I can't afford it at all!"

"Four or five hundred taels?" Zhao Sidong chuckled, "That's enough, you just said that you can only sell it at that high price in the auction house, and it's inconvenient for me to sell it at this price if I don't have cash on hand now, so I'll sell it to you at this price." ”

"Is Childe serious?" the shopkeeper reached out and grabbed his arm with some excitement, and asked repeatedly.

Zhao Sidong smiled indifferently, his arm shook slightly, and he easily broke free, "The shopkeeper doesn't have to doubt it, I'm not a fool, I naturally know how valuable it is, but for me, a jade pendant is nothing." ”

As if to confirm his words, an almost identical jade talisman appeared in his hand and shook it towards the shopkeeper.

"This ......" The shopkeeper was suddenly in awe, in his opinion, the turbidity Shijia son in front of him must have come out of a super family to experience, for ordinary people to find the best jade pendant in a lifetime, people may not have paid attention to it at all.

So he forcibly resisted the excitement and nodded, "Since this is the case, the villain will take advantage of it once." Childe, please sit down for a while, and wait for the villain to go and bring back the cash. ”

After that, he returned the jade talisman to Zhao Sidong and ran out by himself.

After a while, the panting shopkeeper rushed back again, grabbed a large package in his hand, slammed it on the table, and said to Zhao Sidong, who was drinking tea: "Childe, the cash is back!"

Zhao Sidong unwrapped the package, pretended to count it slightly, and then stuffed the jade talisman into the shopkeeper's hand, "In this way, you and I have both money and goods, then we will leave." ”

After leaving the ready-to-wear store, Zhao Sidong walked along the street with the package for a while, found a high-end restaurant and walked in, first asked for an upper room, asked the shopkeeper to send hot water to wipe his face, and then took advantage of no one to put the package directly into the storage space.

Even if he is strong, it is not a wise move to carry a large bag of gold to swagger through the market, after all, he still has things to deal with now, and he has no time to provoke those idle things.

However, he didn't want to cause trouble, but he wanted to come to the door.
