I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 143 Conflict
  Soon, three men in strange clothes walked in.

One sneers, one sneers, and one doesn't smile. With such a 'friendly' look, the three of you are quite discerning in being chosen as messengers.

The three of them sat down at the table and saw the two strangers Cao An enjoying their meal, somewhat puzzled.

But more importantly, I am confused about tonight’s banquet.

"Master Chi, I heard that you were attacked by the Jingfeather Crow again, so I came here to have a look, but I didn't expect that there was actually a banquet?" The man with a proud and disdainful face spoke.

Judging from this man's demeanor, he seemed to think that Chi Guangcheng had no ability to deal with the Jing Feather Crow, but he still had the heart to hold a banquet? Really desperate.

Naturally, Master Chiguang didn't have a good look on his face, and waved his hand: "The Jing Feather Crow has been beaten away. It's normal for us to hold a banquet to celebrate, but you guys, what are you doing here?"

"I was just passing by by chance and saw you guys with bright lights, so I came to ask if I need any help."

The tone of this man's speech was strange and sinister. Even though he knew that Chi Guang was in trouble, he still used the same roundabout tone.

On the other hand, the unsmiling strong man was more straightforward: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Master Chiguang, let's get straight to the point. How do you think about our opinions in the past few days? There is no need to endure the hardships in this lonely city of Chiguang. .”

Negotiations began, and just as Master Chiguang said, the purpose of these people was to incorporate Chiguang City.

Cao An listened on the sidelines and had a general understanding of this place.

Master Chi Guang is not a leader of the country, he is just a master of armor forging.

Because of his high reputation, he was made the city lord of this place by the emperor of a small country.

Originally, he didn't have any great ambitions. He just saw that this place was rich in ores and fire, and he planned to settle down for a long time to hone his skills.

But not long after, this small country was destroyed by the Wild Wolf Army.

At that time, Daxing had a strong national power and had the momentum to unify Southern Chu.

As a large number of refugees fled here, Master Chiguang felt that they needed to be protected, so he began to build armor for his subordinates.

When this fighting force known as the 'militia' appeared on the battlefield, Daxing's army was dumbfounded.

What is the steel torrent? I finally saw it today. Everyone is wearing eighth-grade armor, and they can’t even be penetrated. What a joke!

That was also the first time that Daxing's offensive was blocked.

Seeing the remarkable effect, other countries in Southern Chu came to Chiguang's aid one after another. Not only did they recognize his status as a city and a country, but they also contributed a lot of wealth, making Chiguang's citizens quite prosperous.

Following the Changtianmen War, Daxing's national strength declined, and the expedition came to a standstill.

Peace has been restored in Nanchu, and the internal fighting among various countries has slowly returned. These people want to annex Chiguang City.

As for the method, Cao An estimated that those Jingfeather Crows were lured by someone among them, causing trouble for the people of Chiguang City.

To say that Master Chiguang is very strong, that is for sure. After all, even Ying Changfeng affirms the master's strength. The strength of the Iron Heavy Cavalry is obvious to all, and even the Wild Wolf Army is quite troubled.

But therein lies the problem.

It is true that Master Chiguang is proficient in armor, but it is very confusing for him to only be proficient in armor.

The deformed industry made them completely ignorant of mechanism skills. The three-bow bed crossbow was bought by someone. A group of heavy cavalry were ready to go, but they could only watch the big bird flying overhead. It was really annoying.

The few people who came here to persuade them to surrender were all based on cultivation. If they encountered the Jingyu Crow, they would be able to kill it just like Ying Huorong.

But at least driving away and confronting them can be done, and they used this to threaten Master Chiguang to join.

Everyone wants to eat this delicious big cake.

Of course, there was something quite disharmonious, that is, the man with a sinister smile, who first set his sights on Cao An and the others.

After careful observation after entering, I found that Cao An and the others did not speak, but were just listening. They felt that they were just ordinary guests.

The gloomy man began to think about it, and he fixed his gaze on Ying Huorong. He seemed to be attracted by the beauty, and his eyes flashed with silver light from time to time.

He raised his wine glass, walked up to Cao An, and said with a friendly smile: "I haven't met you two before! I, She Huai, the prince of the Viper Kingdom, am glad to meet you."

She Huai's appearance is worthy of the name of their country. He looks very sinister, not only in appearance, but also in behavior.

"Cao An, I'm just a traveler passing through here." Cao An picked up the cup, touched it with the other person, and immediately felt a faint trace of powder falling into his cup.

He was poisoned at the first meeting. This bastard is really cruel!
  "To be honest, this is the so-called prince's ability, which really disappoints me. I have seen a woman who was even more poisonous. I can introduce you to learn from her next time."

She Huai narrowed his eyes slightly and showed a fierce gaze: "It seems that you still have some ability!"

Hearing their conversation, Master Chi Guang, who was at the head of the throne, couldn't stand it anymore and asked with anger on his face: "She Huai, do you dare to poison my distinguished guest?"

"Haha~ It's just a joke. I just want to know how strong the person who helps you fight off the Jingfeather Crow tonight is. Now it seems that he is indeed extraordinary!"

She Huai was too shameless to be caught poisoning and didn't take it seriously at all.

Even his eyes never left the tinder that was enjoying the meal, and he asked proudly:
  "Perhaps these two are indeed extraordinary, but Master Chi Guang, will they really stay here permanently? If the Jing Feather Crow comes again, how will you deal with it?"

This sentence struck a chord with Master Chi Guang.

He really didn't want to pay attention to these guys, but he couldn't help it. The Jingyu Crow had seriously affected the safety of the people.

Chi Guang does not value power, otherwise he would not stick to this city, and there has been no expansion in the past ten years.

He just wants to consolidate his territory, build more novel armors, and make the people who rely on him rich.

If the security problem really cannot be solved now, I'm afraid he will have to make a compromise.

The man with a proud face was the first to put forward the conditions: "Submit to our country, and I will grant you the position of master forger in the palace. You don't have to work so hard every day, and you can just devote yourself to your craft."

"That's it?"

The cold She Huai interrupted directly: "Consider our plan and help you deal with the birds. You and your city will be under our rule. But I promise, you will still be the city lord here, how about it?"

To be honest, Cao An sounds like She Huai's conditions are not as good as those of the first one.

That one at least allowed Master Chiguang to continue his hobby of forging.

When I come to you, not only will I rule under your rule and listen to your orders, I will also help you manage the city, and everything I get will be yours. If you are unhappy, you can directly remove the person from his post in two months, promising that the whole party will give up.

Do you think others are stupid?

Compared with the first two guys who were smiling but not smiling, the third strong man who was serious about his words sounded more serious.

"We are here to help you sincerely. We will help you kill the big bird on the mountain. The condition is 3000 pairs of high-quality armor."

It sounds like the third one is better.

After all, it's not a power grab, it's just a normal transaction.

It's just that high-quality armor is really difficult to make. If you accept this task, all your hard work in the next one or two years will be in vain!

While hesitating, he finished chewing four large bird wings of Ying Tinder and decided to take a halftime break.

He raised his head and heard them discussing the matter of killing birds, with a disdainful smile on his lips.

"It's just a matter of killing a few birds. What's so difficult about that?"

Such a loud tone made the three people on the opposite side frown. The strong man replied directly: "Those Frightened Crows and a Crow King are on the top of the mountain. The terrain is steep and precipitous and difficult to handle."

"Tch, that's because you are unprofessional. If you leave it to me, it will be easy."

In Ying Huorong’s dictionary, no matter what kind of bird you are, as long as you have wings, you can kill it.

Master Chi Guang was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked quickly: "If I ask you to deal with those birds, what do you need to be sure of?"

Ying Huorong raised a finger proudly.

"1000 sets of armor?"

"A grill, a handful of spices, that's all."

Everyone:...

"Ahem, I mean, what do you need as a reward?" Master Chi Guang also found that this man was too upright, so he could only look at Cao An.

Cao An is very shrewd, but after all, he is in a foreign land, and there are three people around him who are preparing to lower the price, so it is impossible for the lion to open his mouth.

Without much hesitation, he replied: "Master, just help me make a set of protective clothing for each of us. In addition, there is also what I just asked for."

One set of protective clothing for each person? That's easy! Even if you use more good materials, at least it won't take too much time.

As for what Cao An asked for just now, it was just to send the two of them home. It was too simple.

"I agreed, and I'll leave the Jing Feather Crow to you two." Master Chiguang made the decision without hesitation, not giving the three people around him a chance at all.

Of course, Cao An never gave him a chance when he made this offer.

You are asking someone for a city, how can you compare it with two sets of protective clothing?

The unsmiling strong man shook his head and prepared to go back first. If these two people failed, they might still have a chance.

The aloof man also had a displeased expression on his face. His country was the most powerful among the twelve countries. Unexpectedly, Chi Guang refused to give him any face. These two people, who had no idea where they came from, came out halfway to intercept the mission.

As for the cold man, he even issued a direct provocation.

Pretending to be nonchalant, he passed by them and patted his waist gently. This time, more concealed poisonous smoke floated out.

Cao An paid close attention to him, so he discovered the problem immediately. Then, Cao An knew that he was dead.

I have a good temper and am too lazy to investigate.

But you dare to sprinkle poison on the roasted wings on the tinder, are you going to die?

Cao An quickly took half a step to the side to avoid harming Chi Yu.

Sure enough, in the next second, Ying Huorong suddenly burst into flames and punched him without hesitation.

"What! You..."

boom!
  With terrifying power, She Huai was blown away with one punch. His body went straight through the wall and fell heavily outside the banquet hall.

She Huai vomited blood, fell to the ground and shouted angrily: "You! How dare you hit me, you..."

shuh~
  Ying Huorong stood in front of Yu Huai with his whole body covered in fire. He didn't take this kind of rubbish threat to heart at all.

This was the first time that Cao An saw her angry.

"I don't care who you are, if you dare to ruin my grilled wings, I won't let you go!"

boom!
  "Ah!! Help! Spare me!"

Another heavy stomp broke She Huai's leg.

He has the courage to poison people, but his strength is too weak.

The arrogant man behind him also stood up in shock, pointed at Ying Huorong and wanted to scold him, but found a murderous intention locked on him.

Turning his head slightly, he found that it was Cao An.

Cao An didn't move, but the Hundred Water Sword had already been unsheathed. He shook the wine glass in his hand and warned half drunkenly:
  "I advise you not to get involved in this muddy water, otherwise, the consequences for you will not be much better."

The arrogant man finally lost his previous momentum and said sternly: "She Huai is the prince of the Viper Kingdom, how dare you treat him like this."

"Oh, I don't care which country he is from, and I don't care which country you are from. Tinder is going to beat someone today, and it won't work if anyone comes. If you don't believe it, you can try it."

The cold eyes frightened him, and his legs were trembling a little as he stood there. Who are these two people? With such murderous intent, he didn't take them seriously?

The cold-faced strong man, on the other hand, looked thoughtful in his eyes as he heard their names.
