Piao Miao journey

Chapter 39 Rest
Nashan shrank his hands in fright. He had never seen such a monster before, so he was a little scared instinctively.Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing, and said: "Junior brother, you don't feel afraid if you treat it like a puppy, it may be a pet." The man holding the monster scolded, and the monster lay on the ground obediently, with a snarl in its mouth. The grunting sound made Nashan roll his eyes.

Nanaton said: "Boss, let's find a place to stay first, and then discuss what to do next, okay?"

Li Qiang said with a smile, "Hey, Nanaton, you are the landlord, so I will arrange it for you. Paben, take Ben with you, and don't get separated." Paben hastily agreed.Ben was even more amazed than Nashan, he was holding the Jingyuan Bow in his hand, he was dizzy after entering the city, and he didn't know what to look at, so Pa Ben pulled him and the two of them chattering non-stop.

Tange ran from a distance in a hurry and came to Nanaton and said: "Commander, Kankanqi and I can't go back. I quietly contacted a friend in the military department, and he let us two Don't go to the army to report for duty, the military department has already regarded us as traitors. Alas, I never expected this to happen."

Nanaton said angrily: "How can they do this, no, I will go to the military headquarters to judge with them!" Tange sighed: "Commander, you have been regarded as an officer who died in battle. How can you explain it when you go back?" Kan With a gloomy face, Kan Qi suddenly said: "I am not a traitor, but I will not go back again. Boss, I will follow you. I am homeless anyway. Tan Ge, let's go with the boss together." Bar."

Li Qiang said calmly: "Kankanqi, you stay with us first, there is still room for resolution of this matter. I have some ideas, and we will discuss it after we settle down." Kankanqi is very convinced of Li Qiang, Said: "Okay, I will listen to the boss."

"There is a very famous underground lodging place here, is the boss going to rest there?" Tange asked.

Li Qiang shouted almost without thinking: "No... no... I don't want to go, I hate living underground. You haven't lived enough, it's better to live higher, so you can feel more comfortable!" In the black prison, Li Qiang swore that if If it is possible, I will never enter the cave. I am really afraid of the black prison.He thought to himself: If I go underground again, I will become a veritable gopher.

Seeing everyone's fierce gazes, Tange knew that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly interrupted: "Ah, I remembered, there is a restaurant here, just over there, a light red house. Well, I remember that there is a place that should It's called soup or soup, I don't know how to say this word, it's delicious, do you want to try it?" He smiled flatteringly.

Nashan still wanted to put on a sullen face, but his mouth was watering when he said it was delicious, he opened his mouth and yelled, "Boss...uh...Master, go eat some, little Nashan I'm hungry." Kankanchi heard the phrase "Xiao Na" suddenly, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Xiao Na...haha...hahaha...you, forget it...I laughed so hard never mind."

Everyone was not amused by Nashan, but looked at Kankanchi laughing with snot and tears, and everyone was provoked by him to laugh.Nashan said innocently: "Why are you laughing? Tell me to make me smile too." Kankanchi held his stomach, pointed at Nashan but was speechless.

Li Qiang felt sad. He knew that this was an opportunity for everyone to vent their resentment and dissatisfaction. He forced himself to laugh and said, "Okay, let's go have a big meal to celebrate everyone's rebirth!" Nashan first echoed and shouted: "Okay!" He rushed over immediately.Everyone laughed and ran towards the red house.

Because it was not time to eat, the whole hall was empty.Tange called the waiter, the waiter saw that all of these people had hideous faces, most of them had a red mark on their foreheads, and they didn't know what they were doing, so they answered Tan Ge's question carefully, not daring to have any No snub.

While he was in a hurry, a group of people came in from the outside, they were a group of people of yellow race like Li Qiang, they were a little surprised when they saw Li Qiang and his group.There are very few people of the yellow race on the Tanbang Continent, and the West Continent is the main gathering area for the people of the yellow race.

Papen quietly told Li Qiang that they seemed to be people from the Western Continent, not like a business traveler, but a bit like a mission.

There were about twenty or so people in that group, among them, there were fifteen or sixteen warriors dressed in very strange armor, with black branch patterns from head to back, bright dark blue ripples on the chest, and extremely thick arms exposed , the gauntlet on the wrist extended to the elbow, and the black cloak set off the tall figure.Each of them had a long knife handle protruding from their shoulders, making them look very strong and mighty.

The four leaders seemed to be their captains, and the armor they wore was the same as those of the samurai warriors. The difference was the color, which was bright red, as dazzling as fire.The two groups of people did not speak, and looked at each other coldly.Li Qiang didn't move, he sat firmly, he knew that their master hadn't come yet.

Zhao Hao, Han Jin, Na Shan and Zhao Zhi stood in front of them.Zhao Hao's aura is even more different, his cultivation has improved greatly compared to before, just standing still makes the confrontational warriors feel a bit overwhelmed, and they all have the urge to draw out their weapons.

Li Qiang's expression moved, he sensed that a master had come in.Sure enough, a thin middle-aged man walked in outside the door and said, "What did you do? Haven't checked yet... um... who are they?" The leading man in red armor said respectfully and softly: "My lord, no Knowing which country in the Western Continent they are from, they seem to be masters, so I will go and ask the villain."

When the middle-aged man noticed Zhao Hao, he was startled for a moment, knowing that this person was almost as powerful as himself, he was definitely a master, his expression was a little nervous, but his attitude immediately softened a lot, and said: "You are polite, may I ask if you are from the Western Continent?" Which country's mission, brother, let me introduce first, we are the mission of Ladu country."

Zhao Hao is still the old habit in the Jianghu, clasping his fists and saluting: "Long-awaited, long-awaited." Li Qiang smiled "puchi" behind the table, and said: "What are you looking forward to?" Standing up, he said: "We are just here It’s just for eating, and I’m not from the Western Continent, so it’s nothing to do.” Only then did the manager realize that Li Qiang was their leader.Zhao Hao blushed and said, "Master."

Those warriors were shocked, this young man turned out to be his master.Just as the manager was about to speak again, two girls came in from the door, one of them said: "Uncle Aji, Miss asked you what's the matter, but you still haven't come out." The manager smiled wryly: "There is someone, I haven't asked clearly yet."

Crisp footsteps sounded from outside the door. Three women and one man came in. All the warriors knelt down on one leg and said in unison: "Welcome to the master!" Manager Aji stared nervously at Li Qiang and the others, fearing what would happen to them. move.

It was the mistress of the embassy.Li Qiang was extremely curious, he stared intently at what she was like.I saw that she was about twenty years old, with fair complexion, lively eyes, black hair bound by a blue crystal crown, wearing a long flowing goose-yellow dress, with an elegant expression.I just heard her say: "They are all here to eat, let's not disturb others." The voice is euphemistic and pleasant.

Standing beside her was a masked man in green clothes, who followed silently. He seemed to be an expert guard.

Manager Aji said to her: "Subordinates think it's better to be more careful, I heard that the master of Fan Kingdom has arrived, if..." She smiled slightly, and said gently: "Could it be that we don't do anything? "Manager Aji didn't dare to say any more, and stepped aside.

Li Qiang also invited his own people to sit down and have a meal. He was thinking about whether to get close to them. They came from the Western Continent, and they might know about sea agate. This girl seems to be quite easy to talk to.

Tan Ge introduced: "This is green and crispy, very delicious. Well, this sweet tooth root is very sweet, be careful to choke your throat." Nashan said with a bitter face: "It's not delicious, it's not delicious, no The food in our hometown is delicious. Is there any braised pork here? It’s best to have meat with big noodles and dip it in sauce. Sigh, I haven’t had it for a long time, I really want it.”

Seeing that the meal was about to be finished, Li Qiang was secretly anxious and couldn't find a chance to talk to the group of people.

Several waiters carried a large plate with a lid on it, carefully placed it on the table, muttered something to Tango, and then retreated.

Tange laughed and said, "This is the most famous dish here. It's called Baji, and I don't know how to translate it."

Nashan was overjoyed and said, "Such a big plate must be very enjoyable. I, Na, will come first." Opening the lid, I saw that the plate was full of finger-thick, palm-length, pale blue, wriggling bugs.Nashan let out a miserable howl and jumped up so high.The group of warriors stood up with a "wow", and they all drew out their long knives and looked over.

Tange, Nanatun, Kankanqi, and Ben were all salivating.Kankanqi picked up one and put it in his mouth, only to hear the sound of "baji", his face was full of intoxication, and he said: "Crispy and soft, the best bug!" Nashan retched for a while, and said: "Boss... I want Strangling this bad thing, Tange... vomit..."

Li Qiang saw that the waiter also brought the same large plate to the table of the mission, and thought to himself, do they dare to eat this kind of bug?

Li Qiang is very courageous now, but it is not easy to hear the sound of "baji".Nashan, Han Jin and Zhao Zhi couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out of the house.Only Zhao Hao still gritted his teeth and persisted, if Li Qiang didn't go out, he wouldn't leave.

Ben and Paben also seem to like it very much. Ben grabs several at a time and throws them into his mouth. The food is very sweet.Li Qiang looked at the plate of the mission, but when he opened the lid, there was a burst of burnt aroma, which whetted the appetite.Li Qiang asked Tan Ge curiously: "Hey, what they eat is cooked."

Seeing that there were only a few worms left on the plate, Tange stretched out his hands at the same time. He grabbed the last two and held them in his hand. Then he smiled and said, "Boss, people in the Western Continent like to roast and eat. We all I like to eat it raw, don't snatch it..." Kankanqi watched him speak, snatched the worm from his hand, and threw it into his mouth with lightning speed.As soon as Tan Ge caught the air, he heard Kankanqi say "baji" and "baji" twice, cursing: "That much is not enough for you to eat, you..." A series of words that Li Qiang couldn't understand rang out.

Kankanqi listened indifferently, with a happy and comfortable look on his face, which made Tange very frustrated.

Tan Ge suddenly remembered something, and quietly asked Li Qiang, "Boss, it's too bad..."

Li Qiang said with a smile: "Why, do you want another plate?" Tan Ge said with a wry smile: "No, I don't have any money, how will I pay the bill later, I just wanted to eat, boss, what should I do?" Zhao Hao Hearing it from the side, he reached out and took out an ingot of gold from his pocket, saying: "This should be enough."

Tan Ge picked up the gold to have a look, shook his head and said: "What is this, we can't use it to pay bills here." Zhao Hao was also dumbfounded, and it was the first time he heard someone say what gold was, which made him speechless can be said.

Li Qiang was taken aback. If he had no money, he would be free. This was not his habit, so he hurriedly asked: "What does the money look like here? Tan Ge, are the crystals here valuable? Is it okay to exchange them for crystals? "Tange said: "Maybe it is possible, but who has crystals? Ordinary ones are not good, they must be of high grade."

Li Qiang casually took out a piece of Huang Chenshi, which can be regarded as a high-grade immortal stone in the cultivation world.Tan Ge had never seen this kind of high-grade spar before, picked it up and looked left and right, wondering: "What kind of spar is this, it's the first time I've seen it, I don't know if it can be exchanged for money?" Zhao Hao took it to have a look , he didn't see it either.After turning around, everyone didn't know this kind of spar, so Li Qiang was in trouble.

Li Qiang smiled wryly and said: "The low-level crystals have been used as weapons in the black prison. I have all high-grade crystals here. How come you haven't seen this kind of crystals?" He suddenly thought of a person and shouted: "Nashan... Nashan... come in!" He yelled without paying attention.

Those warriors were very loyal to their duties. Hearing Li Qiang's shout, they stood up again with a "wow" and put their swords on guard.Nashan rushed in, and seeing the nervous look of the warrior, he also yelled: "Boss, are you going to fight, take me with you." Han Jin and Zhao Zhi rushed in one after the other.

Under the command of the four red-armored captains, the warriors of the mission immediately formed a defensive formation to closely guard their mistress.Li Qiang felt that they were too careful, and scolded with a smile: "Nashan, whoever asks you to fight, I will tell you to do something." Nashan let out a disappointed "Oh" and walked over.He has just learned the Kung Fu of a three-legged cat. He keeps his fists up all day long and looks like a troublemaker. He always wants to show his prestige and let others know that I am not easy to mess with.

Nashan covered his bald head and asked: "Boss, what's the matter?" Zhao Hao couldn't help asking: "Junior brother, why are you covering your head?" laugh.

"Boss, look at Lao Kan bullying me, you have to make the decision for me..." Seeing his aggrieved look, everyone laughed even harder.The people at their table were lively and noisy, compared to the table of the mission group, which seemed much quieter and duller.The hostess seemed to be paying attention to Li Qiang and the others, and would often look over in a blink of an eye.

Li Qiang stretched out his hand and said, "Take out the spar!" Nashan jumped back almost like a conditioned reflex, and said casually, "What spar, I don't have..." Suddenly, he blushed, and took out the spar from his arms. He took out a leather bag, opened the tightly closed pocket, poured all the crystals inside on the table, and said slightly apologetically: "Oh, I've been in Hell for a long time, and I'm too sensitive to crystals, hehe, hehe... "

Everyone didn't laugh at him this time. In order to fight for a good spar in the black prison, several people are usually killed or injured. Everyone can understand Nashan's reaction.Li Qiang looked at the dozen or so crystals on the table, and was very moved. He knew that Nashan really trusted him, and maybe all of Nashan's crystals were here.He asked Tange, "Are there crystals here that can be exchanged for money?"

Tan Ge exclaimed: "Lao Na, I really didn't know you hid so many treasures, haha, you should be able to exchange a lot of money." Nashan said generously: "You are a quartermaster, so I will keep them for you." Let's go." Nanaton only said one sentence: "Old Nashan is not easy." He knew that when Nashan was the boss of the black prison, he had killed many people in order to grab the spar, and now he gave them all without hesitation. When it came out, it really surprised him.

Tange summoned the waiter, took out a spar and talked to him, but the waiter kept shaking his head.Pa Ben translated it to Li Qiang. It turned out that the waiter did not agree to exchange spar.The more they talked, the louder their voices became. Tan Ge looked obviously a little annoyed, grabbed the waiter by the collar, and yelled loudly.

The hostess of the mission whispered a few words to Director Aji. Director Aji nodded, walked over, grabbed the waiter, and handed him something similar to the jade pupil slip. He said something, and the waiter nodded Saluted and retreated.Tan Ge stood there blushing, looking at Li Qiang a little at a loss.

Manager Aji gave a slight salute, turned around and went back without saying a word.Li Qiang knew that Aji had already paid the bill.The group of them were very upset, but they couldn't refuse their good intentions.Li Qiang sighed secretly, stood up and faced the direction of the mission, and also gave a slight salute, the lady nodded to return the salute, the two of them seemed to be playing charades.

Li Qiang said: "Let's go."

When he came outside the door, Li Qiang asked: "Tan Ge, where can I exchange crystals for money, take me there." The lady made Li Qiang feel embarrassed, and firmly gained the upper hand.Li Qiang had never suffered from this before, and he couldn't help being a little annoyed when he went out, and he had to solve the financial problem first.He said again: "Nanaton, do you have any acquaintances here? I want to find out what this Radu mission is doing, and what is that foreign country."

Paben suddenly interjected: "I know where to change money..." Li Qiang suddenly realized that Paben was a businessman, and he always used him as an interpreter, and said with a smile: "Okay, Paben, take us there. Nanaton Go to inquire about the news with Kancanqi and make an appointment to meet. The others will follow Paben to solve the big problem of money."

Papen discussed with Tange, and led the crowd into a small alley.

It turned out that the trading of spar in Bangchining had to go to a commercial firm established by the state. If it was discovered that the trade was private, not only the spar would be confiscated, but also a large fine would be imposed.However, the purchase price of commercial firms is extremely low, so there are black markets in every city. This is a hugely profitable business. Weapons and protective gear are also profitable, as well as rare treasures from the Western Continent.

Paben reminded everyone: "Wait a while, everyone should be careful when we arrive at the underground trading place. It is a three-way zone, and people will kill people at any time. Let's not cause trouble." The panacea that he made, his body is already very strong, but his timid and fearful character has been deeply ingrained.

Walking into an unremarkable small house, Papen made three gestures and said three words quickly, and the wall facing the door of the small room slid open silently.There was a red light curtain behind the wall, and Li Qiang knew it was a defensive wall at a glance. Someone asked a question inside, and Pa Ben answered carefully.After a while, the light curtain suddenly disappeared, revealing more than a dozen heavily armed men, pointing at them with spine spears in their hands.

A man from the Green Race came out, Tan Ge was slightly taken aback, stepped forward and hugged him excitedly, screaming and dancing, looking very happy, the two of them chattered non-stop, and Tan Ge kept crying.Those big men all lowered their spine spears and retreated.

Tange pulled the man to Li Qiang and said, "Boss, he is my elder brother Tanda. I finally met my relatives. Brother, this is my savior Li Qiang."

Tan Da stepped forward to touch his forehead, and thanked him: "You are from the Western Continent? Hello, Tan Ge is my only relative. I don't want to thank you for your kindness. If there is anything, Tan Da will do his best."
