Chapter 310: The Power of Taiqing Commercial Bank "....squeak. ......
"....Squeak." The little white mink felt very comfortable being rubbed. Its small ears were stretched a lot, and every hair revealed a sense of comfort. Just then it heard the sound coming from above its head, and it opened its mouth and made a series of squeaks in response.
Don't worry, I'm fine and I ate very well!
Lan Ji understood what his friend said, and the tension in his heart finally eased a little. As long as he could eat, it was good enough.
Xiaobai was summoned by him as a partner as a purple-eyed wild spirit marten and had always been by his side until recently when he discovered the true reason behind the power behind Shi Nu. Xiaobai was infected by his anger and his rationality was out of control, so he took massive action.
He was also injured because of this.
Lan Ji did not regret destroying that force. He would regret it even more if he did not destroy it. Thinking about the disgusting scenes he saw, those things that were neither human nor ghost crawling on the ground, completely unconscious, he did not think that he was wrong to take action.
If my grandfather hadn't noticed it in time and acted quickly enough, I'm afraid he would have been one of those neither human nor ghost creatures.
Those guys were originally talented tricksters.
Thinking of this, a hint of anger flashed in Lan Ji's eyes.
"Squeak." Xiaobai sensed the turbulent emotions in his companion's heart. His fur stood up instantly and his head suddenly raised. This is the bad thing about having a companion who is in tune with his mind: they can discover everything at the first moment. The little white mink made a squeaking sound to comfort the other party.
"I'm fine." Lan Ji didn't stop rubbing his head, and whispered to comfort the little white mink whose fur was standing on end.
"But I don't know if we can get into the city this time." His wanted order has probably been issued throughout the entire continent by now. If he is not careful, he may be hunted down. Lan Ji is not afraid of being hunted down, he simply hates trouble.
The guarding of these cities is their duty, there is no need to actually take action to kill the other party.
The little white mink was a little confused. It was just a city. What was there that he couldn't get into? This territory made of stone was not as dangerous as the mountains and forests it went to. It was weird that he was walking those idiots like walking a dog.
It's okay, don't worry, I'll protect you. A small ball moved behind the little white mink, and a tail with a lot of fluff missing was revealed.
It can be seen that the tail should have been smooth and beautiful, but now it is covered with scars, revealing pink flesh that has just healed. It should be a wound caused by some sharp teeth.
The little white mink proudly wagged its tail and squeaked to express its meaning.
Lan Ji also saw the scarred tail, his eyes filled with heartache. The two of them were too weak now, so they couldn't escape the siege of that group of guys. If they were stronger, Xiaobai wouldn't have been injured at all.
This injury was also the most serious injury Xiaobai had suffered since following him.
Lan Ji calculated the strength of Nanli City. The evil warriors on the city wall were all Qingyou level, so it was estimated that their leader was at most early Xueyuan level. Even if they discovered him and prepared to besiege and kill him, he would be able to escape.
Can enter the city.
Lan Ji first said to the little white mink in his arms: "Okay, Xiaobai, hide inside first, and we'll talk after we enter the city."
"Squeak." The little white mink obediently retracted its head and let Lan Ji cover it with clothes.
Half an hour later, a graceful and elegant young man in fine clothes appeared at the door. At first glance, he seemed very handsome and elegant, and his behavior and conversation were calm and unhurried. Only the long sword at his waist and the tremendous strange power around him proved that he was definitely not as weak as he looked.
This kind of dress is not common in Nanli City, but it is not uncommon either. Everyone is a guild master, and there are also some restless sons of powerful forces who come out to become independent practitioners. So the guards of Nanli City just took a few glances and then looked away with a lack of interest.
The young master of a noble family entered the city calmly.
After entering the city, he looked up at the sky, then calmly withdrew his gaze and strolled around like every other trickster who entered the city. He even bought a piece of cake and took it away. After strolling around, he seemed to want to find an inn. He walked slowly along the main road in the city, passed by an alley, was attracted by something, and walked in slowly.
Before long, his figure merged into the shadow.
"…………" The person who had been following him came out from behind and looked at the alley. There was no one in the alley at all, and there was no clue about the person he had just chased. Then he realized something was wrong. He might have lost him. Thinking of his purpose, he hesitated and went into the alley as well.
"Don't move." As soon as the man entered the alley, a cold voice appeared in his ear. With a "swishing" sound, a blade appeared around his neck.
At the same time, a hand appeared at his neck, holding the hilt of the sword, ensuring that he could take action at any time if there was any problem.
The person being held hostage immediately raised his hands high without any movement, indicating that he had no hostility.
Lan Ji frowned. This person was too docile. This was different from what he expected.
The man being held hostage turned around and faced Lan Ji in the shadows. The moonlight shone into the alley just right on the man's face. Lan Ji immediately recognized the man's identity and asked in surprise, "Shopkeeper Xiao Jin?"
That's right, this person is none other than the shopkeeper Xiao Jin in the Taiqing Trading Company whom Lan Ji knows. Lan Ji has met this person before and feels somewhat familiar with him. It is said that the shopkeeper Xiao Jin is from the same clan as the shopkeeper Jin, because the shopkeeper Jin followed the ideas of Young Master Yang Ling, the clan behind him all followed him and left Jinxin Trading Company and joined Taiqing Trading Company.
Lan Ji paused for a moment, then put down the sword in his hand that was holding the other person hostage, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Long time no see, Lan Ji, the Guileman." Shopkeeper Xiao Jin waited until the long sword from around his neck was taken away before he put down his raised hands. There was nothing he could do, he was just an ordinary shopkeeper with no talent. He rubbed his neck and greeted Lan Ji in a good-tempered manner.
"Of course I saw the wanted warrant and came to find you." This sentence was a response to Lan Ji's previous question.
After Shopkeeper Xiao Jin put his hand down, he began to tidy up his robes calmly. As a shopkeeper, he still had to look respectable. He did not wear fancy clothes like his fellow elder Shopkeeper Jin. On the contrary, he wore a simple green robe. Although it was obvious that the robe was made of expensive material, he looked more like a scholar than a shopkeeper.
After doing all this, Shopkeeper Xiao Jin slowly put down his hand. He looked up and down at Lan Ji's current attire, which was like that of a young master from an aristocratic family, and nodded with satisfaction: "You are quite suitable for this kind of attire."
After all, Young Master Lan Ji was once the heir of the Putao Mountains. The habits he developed since childhood are not so easy to get rid of. Even after experiencing all kinds of hardships as an adult, those habits will still inadvertently reveal his identity. This disguise of a young master from a noble family can well cover up the inconsistency in Lan Ji.
Lan Ji also shaved off the big beard that was originally used to cover his face, revealing his originally very handsome features. He looked like a completely different person.
Shopkeeper Xiao Jin is someone that anyone who has met him once would find it hard to forget. Even a person like him might not recognize Lan Ji when standing in front of this young master from a noble family.
Lan Ji remained calm. To him, these clothes were just disguises.
It's just that he has never liked to refute others, so he just stood there in silence waiting for what Shopkeeper Xiao Jin would say next.
"You made a lot of noise in Shichong Mountain. Even though I am far away from the mountain, I have heard about your deeds." Shopkeeper Xiao Jin said in admiration: "A Qingyou-level guild master escaped safely from the siege of dozens of Qingyou-level and Xueyuan-level guild masters. Even with the help of the Huangling Marten, this move is still shocking."
"It was just luck." Lan Ji frowned and said, he was not used to being flattered: "Those ancestors are not on the mountain."
Shopkeeper Xiao Jin sighed and said, "Your talent is the strongest among the geniuses I have ever seen."
Lan Ji didn't say anything.
Shopkeeper Xiao Jin also knew that when facing this extremely smart young master, no matter how much you said, he really didn't want to respond, so why not just tell him the real purpose directly.
"I'm here to deliver something to you." Shopkeeper Xiao Jin blinked and got to the point.
"What to give?" Lan Ji raised his eyebrows, his tone a little surprised.
"Will you take action against those evil men in Shishan in the future, right?" Shopkeeper Xiao Jin asked first, and although he said it was a question, his tone was actually affirmative.
When Lan Ji heard what Shopkeeper Xiao Jin said, he just raised his eyelids and said nothing, which almost meant he agreed.
When he saw the scene on Shishan Mountain which was like purgatory on earth, he felt that these evil god's servants must die, and the evil god did not deserve to live in this world.
If the evil god must have that kind of nourishment to survive, he can really die.
"Speaking of which, you have only dealt with one or two of the vassal forces in Shishan. I estimate that you would visit every one of them." Shopkeeper Xiao Jin can already foresee the bloody storm that this powerful treacherous warrior will stir up in the future.
Lan Ji said coldly: "If you don't want to, you can take this opportunity to leave early. I will remember the help Taiqing Commercial Bank has given me before, and I will definitely repay you in the future."
"Lan Ji Guishi, I think you have misunderstood something." Shopkeeper Xiao Jin smiled strangely and said, "We at Taiqing Commercial Bank are not afraid of those evil gods."
"They are just a group of stone slaves." Shopkeeper Xiao Jin said with a smile. As a confidant of several masters of Taiqing Commercial Bank, he knew a lot. His family had completely devoted themselves to Taiqing Commercial Bank, and several masters were willing to give him some information.
Just an evil god.
"I came here just to help you." Shopkeeper Xiao Jin finally stated his purpose and asked, "Where is the letter in your hand?"
Lan Ji was stunned. He had never expected that Shopkeeper Xiao Jin would react like this. It was totally different from what he expected. For a moment, Lan Ji even doubted if he had seen it wrong.
Shopkeeper Xiao Jin seemed to be very disdainful of the evil god.
Letter? Lan Ji paused for a moment, then he remembered the jade letter that Lord Chongshan gave him when he went to see him.
Lan Ji lowered his head and tapped his collar. Something moved. He reached into his collar and after a moment pulled out a jade seal.
The huge vines and strange plants carved on the extremely transparent jade seal are vivid and lifelike, and it is obvious at first glance that they are worth a lot of money.
"Is this what you are talking about?"
"That's it." Shopkeeper Xiao Jin carefully examined it. After a moment, he said with great satisfaction: "Sure enough, the letter from Master Chongshan is here with you."
"Then please come with me to rest. The medicine is ready. After a night's rest, someone will be waiting for you outside the city in the early morning. He can send you to the nearest Stone Slave force at any time."
"Please rest assured, no one will stop you along the way." Shopkeeper Xiao Jin turned around and walked deeper into the alley, speaking as if everything was under control.
"Outside the city is the area of the King's Court of Ten Thousand Beasts. Can you go there from your company?" Lan Ji couldn't help but say. It was because he saw the long grassland and knew that it would be difficult for him to survive that he had to go into the city to replenish supplies.
Shopkeeper Xiao Jin looked up at Lan Ji, as if Lan Ji had said something very interesting. He was a little surprised. After a moment, he stopped and smiled strangely: "The power behind Taiqing Company is beyond your imagination. Even in the grasslands of the King of Beasts, no one dares to stop you."
"As long as you hold this in your hand..." Shopkeeper Xiao Jin's eyes fell on the jade seal in Lan Ji's hand and asked, "This seal?"
Lan Ji subconsciously clenched the letter in his hands. The cold touch was revealed, and Lord Chongshan's gentle smile subconsciously flashed through his mind.
Even in a small town like this, it has territories and even in the distant King's Court of Beasts, it has forces distributed. How powerful is the force behind Taiqing Trading Company?
Is that Lord Chongshan one of them?
