Chapter 18 The Taste of Conspiracy

Going back to the initial point, I called Yan Xinmeng's name, and after a while, a rustling sound came, and Yan Xinmeng also ran out from the dark.

"You finished?" Yan Xinmeng said in surprise.

"Fortunately not disgraceful"

"Oh yeah, these villains are finally subdued, that's great. Come back with me, I want my father to reward you"

"Well, let's go"

……

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Yancheng. The two fiery red stone lions at the gate are lifelike, like the mounts of gods, and they are very powerful.

Two figures in the distance strode forward, and it seemed that they were heading towards the City Lord's Mansion.

"Stop! Idlers don't enter." The guard of the City Lord's Mansion swung his spear across to block the two people's footsteps.

"Miss?" The other guard suddenly knelt down, "Miss, you are finally back. The city lord thought you were missing, so he is worried. He issued orders everywhere to look for you."

"Ah?" The guard of the horizontal gun was startled, "Damn the villain, I didn't mean to offend the young lady."

"Those who don't know are innocent, get up, I'm going to find daddy", Yan Xinmeng waved her hands nonchalantly.

"Yin, this time you have meritorious service in killing bandits, I will take you to Daddy's place, he will reward you"

Yang Tian followed her footsteps, moved his ears, and heard the discussion of the two guards behind him.

"My God, Miss is so kind. I used to work as a guard in a rich family's house. I accidentally offended Fu Jia's daughter. She slapped me ten times and kicked me out of the house."

"Fortunately, I met Miss. If you encounter someone who is unruly, you will definitely be punished!" The guard who spoke gave him a sideways look.

"It's not that I didn't recognize Miss. Fortunately, Miss doesn't care. If I can marry a virtuous and educated girl like Miss, I will do it even if I lose ten years of life."

"You? Come on! Toad wants to eat swan meat?"

Yang Tian smiled slightly, Yan Xinmeng, as the daughter of the city lord, has a temper without being arrogant, which is indeed quite rare.

"Meng'er, you're finally back," suddenly a middle-aged man's surprised voice came over.The middle-aged man exudes the aura of a superior person all over his body. There is no doubt that this is the Lord of Yancheng.

"Daddy, I'm sorry to make you worry," Yan Xinmeng said with a little anxiety.This time, she ran out of the city lord's mansion privately, and on the way back, she saw the regulations on finding herself posted everywhere, which also made her feel so guilty.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back," the city lord nodded gratifiedly, "Meng'er, remember to tell Daddy where you want to go in the future, Daddy let you go! Don't run out alone, it's very dangerous outside."

"Meng'er, who is this little friend?"

"Daddy, this is Young Master Yin, he saved me", Yan Xinmeng told the story.

"It turned out to be little friend Yin, thank you for saving my daughter," City Lord Yan smiled at Yang Tian, ​​and then said.

"Donghai Fishing Village, I have seen this paradise in the books, but it's a pity that I don't have time to visit it."

"I'll go there with daddy to play in the future, hehe", Yan Xinmeng said with a smile, "By the way, daddy, are you looking for bandits from Shixialing?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Yan Xinmeng turned her head to Yangtian, "Take it out"

"Okay, turn your head away first, it's a little scary"

Speaking of which, Yang Tian took out the bandit leader's head from the backpack, and a pair of wide-eyed eyes showed the head extremely ferocious.

"Good! Good! Heroes are young, I sent soldiers twice but they escaped, but little friend Yin is sharp and impermanent," City Master Yan applauded.

"Come on, little friend Yin, you deserve it," City Lord Yan waved lightly.

"Ding, you have gained 200000 experience"

"Ding, you get swift and haste shoes"

Boots of Swiftness (Silver Ware): Speed ​​+60, Agility +20, Dodge +32, Requires level: 15.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Tian spoke.

"City Lord Yan, there are some things I want to make clear first."

"My friend, please tell me"

"Miss Xinmeng brought out a lot of talismans from you, and I have used a lot of them. Are you sure... you still want to give me this reward?"

City Lord Yan was startled for a moment, then smiled heartily.

"Hahaha, there are very few honest young people like you these days. In fact, although the talisman is precious, the second-level talisman has little effect on me. If it is not worried that you are too dependent on the power of the talisman, On the contrary, it is not conducive to your own growth, so what if I give you some?"

"Uh... City Lord Yan is really enlightened," Yang Tian was speechless.

"Little friend Yin, your personality is very pleasing, and you saved my daughter, so I have to give you something in return." City Lord Yan paused, as if he was thinking about what reward he should give.

"Ah, yes," City Lord Yan shouted.

"Ding, you have gained the popularity of Yancheng people +10"

"Ding, you got a "Pass Token""

Pass Token: Get some privileges in Yancheng!

"Xin Xiaoyou, this access token is specially made by me. Holders of this token can enjoy some privileges in Yancheng! For example, you can rely on it to enjoy some discounts in Yancheng drugstores, weapon shops, etc. other wonderful uses”

"Thank you, City Lord Yan!" Yang Tian accepted it readily, and quickly thanked him. This access token is indeed a good thing.

"By the way, City Lord Yan, there are still some things I don't know whether to say or not?"

"What? But it's okay to say"

"Among the Vulna bandits, I heard some unfavorable news. It seems that... the city lord missed several times because someone tipped off the news in advance."

"Oh?" City Lord Yan frowned, "Actually, I also have this guess, it's groundless, and I can't determine the target."

"Dong dong dong", at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"City Master, Patriarch Wu is waiting outside and has something to discuss with you." The speaker's voice was slightly vicissitudes, obviously getting old.

"Housekeeper, come in"

The door was pushed open, and an old man with an old face came in.

The old man first looked at Yan Xinmeng who was standing aside, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

"Miss is finally back. The city lord has been very worried these two days, and the old slave is also very worried."

"Thank you grandpa butler for your concern, Xinmeng is fine." Yan Xinmeng's tone was a little coquettish, obviously very familiar with the butler.

"Hehe, it's fine as long as it's okay," the old man smiled, and glanced at Yang Tian from the corner of his eye.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yang Tian felt that his eyes seemed to reveal an unfriendly message.

"By the way, old housekeeper, Xiaoyou Yin just heard that the gang of bandits said that someone tipped them off, so you should check it out secretly! I still have something to do with Patriarch Wu, Meng'er, please greet Xiaoyou Yin first, and the housekeeper will follow me "

"Yes, City Lord," the old man lowered his head, but Yang Tian noticed a glint of murderous intent in his eyes!
This guy is not a good person!It seems that I saw him for the first time, what's the situation?

wondering
After the city lord and the housekeeper left, Yang Tian pulled Yan Xinmeng's sleeve.

"How many years have you been in the City Lord's Mansion as a housekeeper?"

"This...it seems to have been there since I can remember." Yan Xinmeng raised her head and pointed her chin with her finger.

Since childhood?Then this kind of character is generally simple, there is no reason to have a problem.But the various behaviors just now showed that he is not normal!

"Then did anything abnormal happen to him during this period?" Yang Tian asked unwillingly.

"What are you trying to inquire about? What will happen to the housekeeper's grandpa?" Yan Xinmeng said a little displeased.

"Uh...nothing"

Just when he was about to give up, Yan Xinmeng let out a scream.

"Don't tell me I haven't remembered yet. Three years ago, the butler grandpa was really abnormal. It seems that some of his behaviors were different from usual, but they changed back later."

Indeed!Yang Tian's eyes flashed, and at this moment, another notification sounded with a ding.

"Would you like to accept the mission "Exposing the Conspiracy"?"

Expose the conspiracy: The steward of the city lord's mansion seems to have an ulterior motive, but he is deeply trusted by the city lord. In the near future, he will set off a big conspiracy!

This kind of plot mission, of course, has to be accepted, and it is obviously a mission with a lot of benefits.

However, Yang Tian was not in a hurry to do it, because when the city lord and the housekeeper went out just now, he secretly lost a detection skill, and the result of the feedback was
Butler of Yancheng:? ? ? , HP: ? ? ?

Obviously, this is not a task that can be completed at the current level.As for exposing him, it is even more unrealistic to let City Master Yan deal with it.The task prompts have said that this guy is deeply trusted by the city lord. If that guy is a traitor, I am afraid that the city lord Yan will kill him directly with a slap.

"By the way, Xinmeng, I want to ask you something."

"Master Yin, tell me," Yan Xinmeng said.

"Can you stop calling me son, you can just call me by my first name Yin", it's really uncomfortable for him to always be called son and son.

"Okay, Mr. Yin. Uh... Yin"

"I want to ask, if you want to buy a house in Yancheng, what are the requirements?"

It is too troublesome to find a special quiet place every time for alchemy or something. It would be much better to have a dedicated room.Of course, if this idea is known by other players, it will definitely be served by watermelon peels and banana peels, and then curse and pretend to be forced.

"Well... you want to buy a house? This matter is in charge of the resources department under the city lord's mansion, let me help you talk about it"

Yan Xinmeng's work efficiency is still very high. When Yang Tian was brought to the resource department, the management staff immediately took out the price list of the building.

The lowest is twenty gold coins, and the highest is hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

"I want to ask how much discount can I get for this?" Yang Tian took out the access token from his backpack, and the resources needed to be fully utilized.

"This is 8% off!"

"Well, I want this thirty-gold-coin house." Anyway, it's only used to practice alchemy and occasionally settle down, so it doesn't need to be too luxurious.

Looking at the backpack, there were not enough gold coins, so I sent a message to Mengsha, and she only gave 200 coins for the [-] Great Return Pills.

Not long after, the money was delivered to the account, and the house was purchased directly, with a land deed in the backpack.

After everything was dealt with, I bid farewell to Yan Xinmeng, and headed towards the house I bought.
