Sword God Broken Kong

Chapter 11 Ask
After Ji Tiancheng stepped into Qingyun Inn, he went directly to look for that young servant named Yingcai.

But he couldn't find it, so he walked into the account room on the second floor of Qingyun Inn, and saw the old shopkeeper sitting on a round table in the account room drinking tea.

So he slowed down and walked into the accounting room.

"Old shopkeeper, I don't know where the inn's buddy Yingcai is now?"

"Elite?"

He Longtao looked at Ji Tiancheng strangely. Although he was very puzzled in his heart, he didn't ask any further questions, and said directly to Ji Tiancheng:

"Yingcai went out in the morning, so I guess he should be back."

"Thank you."

Ji Tiancheng clasped his hands together towards the old shopkeeper, and cupped his hands.

"Hehe, you are welcome, son. I don't know where you are from, why did you come to Xuzhou City?"

He Longtao's eyes flashed, but he asked about Ji Tiancheng's background.

"I'm from Cangzhou. I came to Xuzhou City in Yunzhou to find my brother and sister who have been separated for many years."

"Oh, I don't know if there is anything I can help you with?"

He Longtao asked with a smile, but he didn't believe in Ji Tiancheng's intentions at all, but he didn't dare to ask too much, lest he would be suspicious.

"No need, now it's just the inn's clerk Yingcai asking some things, the rest is nothing. However, I still want to thank the old shopkeeper for his kindness."

"Hehe, it's okay, if you need help with anything, young master, you can just ask."

"Haha, then thank you very much."

Ji Tiancheng then smiled, and looked at the old shopkeeper in front of him with faint eyes, full of surprises in his heart.

"Isn't this old shopkeeper from the City Lord's Mansion? Why does it always make me feel strange."

Ji Tiancheng thought to himself, seeing the old shopkeeper disappearing near the City Lord's Mansion last night, he would naturally think that he belonged to the City Lord's Mansion.

But seeing the old shopkeeper asking him so many questions at this time, he would naturally feel strange.

Under normal circumstances, the City Lord's Mansion would not randomly check the identities of people in the Jianghu, as the old shopkeeper did at this time, it has actually violated a taboo.

"Dengdengdeng..."

The sound of footsteps going up the stairs rang in Ji Tiancheng's ears.

Although the sound of footsteps was far away from Ji Tiancheng, but Ji Tiancheng was a master at the state of inner qi perfection, so how could he not hear clearly.

"Shopkeeper, I'm back!"

A clear voice echoed in Qingyun Inn, turning into broken voices, floating from afar.

"Ok?"

When He Longtao heard the voice, his face remained unchanged, he looked in the direction where the voice came from, then turned his head to Ji Tiancheng and said:
"Young Master, my buddy Yingcai has returned. If you need to ask anything, just go to him. He is the know-it-all in Xuzhou City!"

Ji Tiancheng said with a smile on his face: "Thank you shopkeeper."

"Yingcai, this young master has something to ask you, come here!"

"okay."

Yingcai's eyes lit up when he heard the old shopkeeper's order, and he ran over with small steps.

"Young master, I'll go first."

The old shopkeeper bowed and slowly walked out of the account room, while the clerk Yingcai walked in at this moment.

Seeing Yingcai coming, Ji Tiancheng smiled slightly: "I'm here this time because I need to ask you something."

Yingcai patted his chest, and said proudly: "Young Master, please tell me, there is nothing in Xuzhou City that Yingcai doesn't know."

"Oh, then do you know where the headquarters of the Thief Gate is?"

Yingcai just picked up a teacup from the table and took a sip, but before she could drink it, she heard Ji Tiancheng's question and almost spit out the tea in her mouth.

"Cough...cough..."

After being choked by the tea, he coughed again and again, and when he recovered, his face was already flushed.

"My lord, why are you asking this?"

When Yingcai heard this question, she was terrified and almost cried.

When seeing this young master for the first time, seeing him holding a long sword in his hand, Yingcai had already determined that Ji Tiancheng was a man of the world.

Therefore, Yingcai was already mentally prepared for the question Ji Tiancheng asked, but unexpectedly, he was still frightened.

As a first-class force, the Thief Sect is almost a legendary existence in Yingcai's heart.

Yingcai is just an ordinary clerk in Qingyun Inn, although he is very familiar with the terrain of Xuzhou City because he is out and about.

But he still hasn't seen any big world, and Yingcai is still very clear about the distribution of power in the Jianghu.

A first-class force is a force equal to the three major families in Xuzhou City.

With such a powerful force, why did you find its headquarters?

At a large table in the middle, there were only Ji Tiancheng and the servant Yingcai.

When Ji Tiancheng heard Yingcai ask him this, he didn't think too much, and told him the situation directly:

"I want to know the headquarters of the Divine Thief Gate because I have a brother who may be in the Divine Thief Gate, so I am going to go to the Divine Thief Gate to see if my brother is still in the Divine Thief Gate."

When Yingcai heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he asked Ji Tiancheng again:
"Young master, it's not that I don't want to, but that the matter is too involved, and I can't be the master!"

Although Yingcai is an ordinary guy, he is extremely smart and careful, and even found out from the clues that there is a powerful force behind Qingyun Inn.

Therefore, although he did not answer Ji Tiancheng's question directly.

Hearing this, Ji Tiancheng became a little angry. He didn't expect this Yingcai to be so timid, so he shouted at Yingcai:

"If you can't make the decision, then who can make the decision for you!" Yingcai's eyes flashed a strange brilliance, and he replied to Ji Tiancheng:
"I'm a member of Qingyun Inn. If the old shopkeeper agrees, I will tell you the clues I know."

In fact, Yingcai was thinking of himself. If he told the old shopkeeper about this, he might be favored by the old shopkeeper, and thus learn more secrets of Qingyun Inn. If he joined it, his status would rise accordingly. .

He doesn't think that he is a good person. Money can turn ghosts around. This is the way of the world. Since he may benefit from it this time, why should he give up?
In Yingcai's heart, at this moment, he thought proudly:

"It's he who wants to get news from me, and it's not that I force him. As the saying goes, 'Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish to take the bait.' I don't force it, it's none of my business."

Yingcai didn't know that when Ji Tiancheng became famous all over the world. For 500 years, after breaking No.1 of the Void, he regretted it all his life, and finally died in depression.

Ji Tiancheng is a person who doesn't like to owe favors. If Yingcai was willing to tell him the whereabouts of the God Thief just now, even if he didn't find his second brother in the end, he would return the favor to Yingcai.

But Yingcai is so hesitant, he can naturally guess that Yingcai is thinking of himself, so he already feels a little disgusted with Yingcai.

Ji Tiancheng frowned, and said to Yingcai, "If that's the case, then I'll call the old shopkeeper here."

Yingcai felt relieved when he heard the words, and said respectfully to Ji Tiancheng with a happy face, "Thank you, sir, for your understanding."

Seeing Yingcai doing this, Ji Tiancheng was even more displeased, his face became even uglier, and he disdained Yingcai even more.

Turning his head and pushing open the exquisite door made of green nanmu, Ji Tiancheng saw the old shopkeeper sitting on the rocking chair outside the account room, as if he didn't notice anything about him.

Ji Tiancheng didn't think that a master who exposed his internal energy would not be able to feel the conversation in the accounting room at such a distance, but he still clasped his hands together and said to He Longtao who was on the rocking chair: "Old shopkeeper, there is one thing I hope With your consent."

He Longtao, who was on the rocking chair, slowly opened his eyes, as if he had just woken up, and smiled at Ji Tiancheng beside him: "Master, may I say hello?"

Although Ji Tiancheng felt angry in his heart, he still endured it, thinking in his heart:
"No wonder Master told me when I came down the mountain that there are countless intrigues in the rivers and lakes, so let me be careful. When I see you today, what I said is true."
