Chapter 70 Theft (Please collect and recommend!)

The Danjin Basin is located to the east of the Qinggang Mountains.

When the Hanjiang River flows through here, the surface of the river gradually becomes wider, the water flow speed is greatly slowed down, and an alluvial plain is formed in the center of the basin.The land here is fertile, the rivers and canals are dense, the precipitation is abundant, and the frost and snow are rare. It is the main grain production area in the west of the Hanyun Empire, and it is also one of the most important granaries of the empire.

Danjin City is an important city in the western part of the empire, and it is located on the flattest part of this alluvial plain.The city has a large population and wealthy residents. Among them, the Zhou family has been operating here for many years, controlling more than half of the production and sales of grain in the basin. It is a family that is as famous as the Li family in Tianji City.

Today's Danjin City is no different from normal days. The carriages transporting grain enter and leave the city gate like flowing water. Hissing.

"Wow——" a pretty and pleasant girl in light yellow gauze ran into the city gate, looking at everything around her excitedly, "Little brother Jin, why do you feel that this place is more prosperous than Tianji City?"

Not far behind the girl, a young man in a dark blue dress looked at the girl with a smile: "Over [-]% of the grain in the western part of the empire is shipped from here, and Danjin City is naturally full of merchants. But you rarely go The bustling scene at the pier at the north gate of our Tianji City is not much worse than here. Hey, sister Xiaoqin, you should slow down, don’t get lost and be kidnapped again.”

This pair of young girls who just entered the city are Li Jin and Li Qinqin.I saw Li Qinqin making a face at Li Jin: "Crow's mouth! This time, Miss Ben is flying like a bird, so you must have fun!"

After the two of them had a detailed discussion with Li Wenluo and Li Wenshu at the Renwang post station, Li Wenluo knew the particularity of Li Qinqin's cultivation method, so he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​promoting Tianhan Sutra among the senior members of the Li family.

Since Li Qinqin was about to go out to practice, little Lolita insisted on traveling with Li Jin.Although Li Wenluo was still a little worried about Li Jin, but it was better than Li Qinqin going on the road alone, so he agreed in desperation.

Li Jin and Li Jin came to an inn in the center of the city, planning to stay here tonight.But just as Li Jing stepped into the gate of the inn with one foot, a figure rushed out from inside.

Li Jin could have stepped aside, but Li Qinqin was behind him, and he wasn't sure that even Li Qinqin could escape, so that person bumped into Li Jin.

"Ouch!" Li Jin who was hit didn't move at all, but the man was bounced back and fell to the ground.

Li Jin saw that the man was dressed in ordinary clothes, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and it seemed that something had bitten his right ear, missing more than half of it, so he frowned for a moment: "Here... are you okay?"

Seeing that Li Jin was still standing there steadily, the man was obviously taken aback for a moment, then quickly stood up and said, "My little gentleman, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" After speaking, he trotted away and disappeared.

"This person is so strange, is the house on fire?" Li Qinqin asked with a little confusion, tilting her head.

But Li Jin didn't care: "I guess there is something urgent. Don't worry about it." After speaking, he came to the lobby of the inn.

A waiter waiter came over with a smile on his face: "Are you two going to the top or staying in the hotel?"

"A table of good food, two upper rooms..." Li Jin nodded and said, but immediately settled there.

"This... I'm so sorry, young master. If you want to buy a house, there is only one room left in the shop. Why don't you two just let it go... Uh, young master?" Xiao Er's expression was a little awkward at first, but he suddenly Seeing that Li Jin's expression was even more embarrassing, he couldn't help asking curiously.

"My storage bag is gone." Li Jin rubbed his nose in confusion.

"What?" Little Lolita looked disbelieving, and quickly looked at Li Jin's waist, and found that it was really empty, and couldn't help being shocked, "How could it be... the person who bumped into you just now!"

Li Jin also reacted at this time, and couldn't help laughing and scolding in his mind: "Little gourd! You are a third-order soul pet after all, don't you know if there are thieves approaching you?"

"Don't say that." But the little gourd refused to accept, "Don't forget that you are also a third-level strength, and you haven't discovered it yet! Besides, the man just now didn't have any fluctuations in spiritual power. How can I I will guard against him. The young master is not your universal bodyguard."

Li Jin couldn't help rolling his eyes, thinking that his skills would still be stolen, it would be too embarrassing to think about it.But he wasn't too worried. Although the contents of the storage bag could make the whole city of Dan Jin go crazy, his storage bag was recognized by a drop of blood, and no one else could open his storage bag unless he died. bag.

"It's a good thing I still have my sachet, otherwise I'd be sleeping on the street and starving." Li Qinqin curled her lips, took out a gold coin and handed it to the waiter, "We've got the upper room, and we'll talk about the food and drink later." Let’s talk when we come back. Now we have to find the thief just now.”

"Come on!" Seeing the gold coin, Xiaoer smiled happily, rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice, "My lord, miss, if you want to find the stolen things, you might as well go to the dungeon to try your luck and ask Guo Er Yes. However, if the things you lost are not particularly valuable, then forget it."

It turned out that the man just now was still a habitual offender, Li Jin curled his lips, if it wasn't for the sake of this gold coin, it is estimated that the little girl would have one more thing than one less thing.

"Dungeon?" Li Qinqin asked curiously, "How?"

"Because the underground city, um, there are a lot of people, it's messy, and it's quite chaotic. You're only two of you, and you're outsiders, so it's easy to suffer. Don't get your things back when the time comes, and the loss outweighs the gain." Xiao Er attached He reached the ears of the two and whispered.

However, Li Jin and Li Jin didn't take it seriously. They immediately asked the route to the dungeon, thanked the little girl, then turned and left.

The underground city, as the name suggests, is just below the ground of Danjin City.

The Danjin Basin has a huge amount of rainfall, especially in summer, and the groundwater resources in the basin are already very rich. If there is a flood, the geographical location of Danjin City will easily be flooded.So when the city was built, the underground water drainage system of Danjin City was designed to be very large and complete. The whole city was covered with criss-cross passages, and no matter how big the flood was, it never brought much trouble to this big city. .

Although the city of Danjin is very large, every inch of land is expensive, because cultivated land is the most precious to the people of Danjin Basin.Therefore, the buildings in Danjin City, after meeting people's daily needs, are only enough for people to live in and as warehouses for grain merchants.But Danjin City has developed more and more prosperous, so the whole city looks a bit crowded.

Because of this, the housing and land prices in Danjin City have been fired to an unbelievable level in a short period of time. More and more people cannot afford the houses here, and even renting houses has become more and more luxurious.And some people in the city sold their property because of business failure, or because they lost all their property through gambling, or because they were seriously ill and needed money for medical treatment, or for other reasons.

Fortunately, in the past few decades, the weather in Danjin Basin has been smooth, and there has been no drought or waterlogging. There is only some humidity in the drainage channel under the city.Those who sold their homes and became homeless, and some impoverished people lived in these drainage channels one after another.

Immediately afterwards, small gangs of thieves and thieves also secretly settled in these passages, and then some shady transactions began to be carried out here.Later, some small traders who couldn't afford the high land rent and tax in Danjin City also moved into the underground drainage channel.

Slums, small vendors, gangs of thieves and thieves, black markets, casinos... Gradually, another world was formed in these drainage channels, a world that everyone called an underground city, which was different from the Danjin City on the ground.

Of course, the current underground city is still bustling and bustling, and some people are even richer than some people in Danjin City on the ground. Of course, they are used to life in the underground city and do not want to move their nests anymore.

Li Jin and Li Qinqin came to a gate, which was an entrance to the dungeon.A few young ruffians were crookedly leaning against the gate, and when they saw Li Jin and the others approaching, they all looked at them.

A ruffian who looked like the leader sized up Li Jin and the two of them, and then walked over: "You two children, why are you hanging around here if you don't go home for dinner?"

"Is this the entrance to the dungeon?" Li Jin asked directly.

"Yes." The ruffian subconsciously replied, then narrowed his eyes, "You are not local!"

Li Qinqin casually threw a silver coin over: "Let's find Guo Er."

The ruffian took the silver coin, his eyes flickered a few times, and then he smiled and said, "So he is looking for Guo Er! Okay, I will take you to find him, follow me!" After speaking, he walked into the gate first. go.

Li Qinqin raised her foot and wanted to follow up, but Li Jin seemingly inadvertently pulled her back.Li Jin smiled at Li Qinqin, and led her to follow the ruffian.

"If you want to find someone in this dungeon, you are lucky to meet me, Yang Er, and you have found the right person." The ruffian Yang Er pretended to be casual, "But you are looking for Guo Er because he is obedient. got your stuff?"

Seeing that Li Jin didn't answer, Li Qinqin didn't answer Yang Er either.But before they had gone far, Yang Er suddenly turned around: "However, if you want to find someone in the dungeon, this silver coin is not enough, you little brat from other places."

At this time, a few ruffians slowly walked up behind Li Jin and Li Jin, surrounded Li Jin and Li Qinqin, and looked at them mockingly.

Li Jin looked a little weird: "You mean, I have to give you more benefits?"

Yang Er pretended to be surprised, and then said with a sinister smile: "This young man is so smart, I admire him, I thought it would take a little more talking. If that's the case, please hand over all your valuables?"

Li Jin looked at Li Qinqin, and touched his nose helplessly: "Is Tianji City better? Danjin City's law and order is too bad, and there are thieves and robbers."

Little Lolita kept nodding her head, and the pink-blue light on her chest slowly lit up.And the way she looked at Yang Er gradually became playful.
