Chapter three hundred and sixty-one old friends visit

In the unknown town at the foot of Zixiao Palace, the group of people divided into two groups to stay in two different inns. The reason was that there were too many people and the empty rooms in one inn were not enough.

Originally, this unknown town was at the foot of Zixiao Palace Mountain, and there were many people coming and going. Recently, it was about to start the mission of national destiny. Many families would send special personnel to welcome the monks from their country. For example, the last time Ying Ying asked Tianyou to be a guide to travel through Qingyuan Mountain was rare, but that time was because the King of Qin was critically ill and had an emergency. According to normal circumstances, Ying Ying would have to have a large group of people to support him if he wanted to return to Qin. After all, no matter what, Ying Ying was also one of the powerful competitors to the throne of the Ninth Princess of Qin and one of the strong competitors to the throne.

In fact, when Tianyou and his party came to the foot of the mountain, they met the Qin army that came to pick up. The leader was the General Lang who sent Tianyou and the others to Zixiao Palace last time. It is said that he seemed to be responsible for picking up and dropping off these Qin children from Qin and Zixiao Palace.

Of course, when the general comes, there will definitely be no fewer soldiers. This time, in addition to General Lang himself, he also brought an elite army of more than 200 people. Among them, the average cultivation level of the personnel is around the Body Refining Realm and the Bone Refining Stage, and the team leader is at the level of the Dust Realm and has a luxurious lineup.

Although the cultivation of these people is not enough to be seen in Zixiao Palace, you should know that this is an army, an army that prohibits orders and is an army that understands the art of joint attack. Such an army can completely defeat more than three times the same cultivation of Zixiao Palace cultivators with the same cultivation level head-on. Of course, there is no way to encounter cultivators with too high strength. The high-end combat power of Zixiao Palace cannot be filled by the number of people. This is also why the major sects in the neutral zone can stabilize the ones of the ten countries. The main reason is that all countries lack high-end combat power that can control the situation.

In fact, the army did not enter the town, and all were stationed outside the Wuming Town, but General Lang also brought nearly 80 servants, maids and other personnel. These people are now in the town, and with people from other countries or some aristocratic families in the country, Wuming Town cannot live in so many people no matter how large it is. Fortunately, Zixiao Palace is not like this in the first year. These people have experience and will bring all tents and other supplies when they come.

According to personnel relations, Ying Ying, the five sisters of the Bai family, Lu Meng, and Yin Ruhua, who were on the same journey last time, and Mu Ruyu, all lived in an inn that General Lang had set up in advance, while Tianyou stayed at another inn with Pang Dahai, Zhao Gongming, Zhao Lingyun and Qi Xiaomei. This is thanks to their early downhill. If they set off with the rest of the Qin State, they would probably have to sleep in a tent at night.

Considering that Ying Ying is a princess, General Lang made a reservation in advance and was naturally the largest and best inn. Tianyou and the others had no choice but to go to the surrounding small inn to find an empty space, but in the end they found a pretty good inn on the edge of the town.

Although this inn is not large in scale, it is extremely neat. The decoration and furniture are not as luxurious as the large inn, but it has a kind of home warmth. Moreover, all the items in this inn are brand new, which makes people feel comfortable to watch.

When staying in the store, Tianyou asked casually, but he learned from the shopkeeper that this was a new store that had only been opened for less than half a month, and even the house had just been completed. No wonder all the furniture and things in the store were new.

The two guys led the crowd apart. Pang Dahai and Zhao Gongming were taken to the south side, Zhao Lingyun lived alone on the second floor of the lobby, while Qi Xiaomei and Tianyou were on the second floor of the north side. However, although they were divided into three directions and two floors, the distance was not very far. The inn itself was in a shape of a zigzag. The first floor on the east and west sides were the lobby and kitchen, utility room, and the other directions and the entire second floor were guest rooms. Moreover, the corridor on the second floor was a circular shape, which was connected to each other, making it very convenient to get in and out.

Tianyou and Qi Xiaomei were personally led by the shopkeeper to the guest room. After explaining the location of various things, the shopkeeper explained: "There is someone on duty in the kitchen on the first floor of the west side, and you can order food at night. If you have any questions, come to the lobby to ask. I am here during the day and children are watching at night. In addition to other guests' rooms, the shop can move at will, but there is a third floor above the lobby on the east side. Please don't go in randomly."

"Aren't you the owner?" Qi Xiaomei asked curiously.

"I'm just a shopkeeper. It's just because our shop owner is a woman and doesn't like strangers, so we usually rarely walk around the shop."

Sister Qi asked casually, and after hearing this, she waved her hand and asked the shopkeeper to go out. When the door closed, Sister Qi immediately ran to her room to check the environment.

They lived in a suite with a bed inside and outside, but shared a gate. This design seemed very popular because other inns in the nameless town had houses of this structure.

"Tianyou, there is a bronze mirror here." Qi Xiaomei's excited voice came from inside.

Tianyou walked in with a smile and glanced. Sure enough, he saw a bronze mirror of a large size on the dressing table beside the bed. The Shenzhou Continent is low in productivity and the metal price is very expensive. It is okay to use it on weapons, but things like bronze mirrors are relatively rare. They are usually only used by wealthy families.

In fact, there is glass on the Shenzhou Continent, and it is not too rare. It is just because the technology is not up to standard, so it is not transparent enough. No one thought that glass can be made into mirrors. After all, even bronze mirrors are only used by high-ranking officials and nobles. The market is too narrow. Rich people will not study this, while poor people will not think of this at all.

"It's just a bronze mirror, it's what makes you excited."

Qi Xiaomei retorted: "This is a bronze mirror, it's rare. I used to have one side at home, but unfortunately I couldn't even eat it later, so I could only sell it for some food." When Qi Xiaomei was talking about it later, she was obviously a little depressed, but she quickly regained her vitality when she thinks of her current life. "By the way, will we pass through Qingyuan Village when we go back this time? I want to see where you live."

Tianyou thought for a while before nodding, "No problem, we will separate from the main force in the middle. Let's take a shortcut, and I'll take you to see Qingyuan Village."

After chatting for a few more words, Tianyou arranged for Xiaomei Qi to sleep in the inner room, go outside by himself, take out the paper roll from her worries bag, and spread it on the table to start drawing pictures. He wanted to help Ying Ying get the throne of Qin. The psionic gun is a good bargaining chip and must be used well. But the premise of all this is that the psionic gun must be more concise and easy to use, and it must be suitable for ordinary people without cultivation. Of course, it would be better to reduce the cost a little. So now he is adjusting the design drawings, striving to make the structure simpler.

Before he knew it, an hour passed, and Tianyou suddenly heard something outside the door. He did not make a sound immediately, but looked quietly at the direction of the door. He was guessing whether it would be a thief so late, but the next moment he heard a low knock on the door, as if he didn't want to be heard. Tianyou even more suspected that there was a thief outside because some thieves would deliberately make some noise before stealing to test whether the owner was asleep. If there were still people awake, they would probably react to the knock on the door, and the thief would leave.

This unknown town is right next to the Zixiao Palace Mountain Gate. Not to mention the security in the neutral area, it is excellent even if it is considered to be within the ten countries. Tianyou didn't expect that there were thieves in this place, so he was a little curious, so he didn't respond, but instead touched the door lightly.

Perhaps because I didn't get a response for a long time, a second knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the door. The sound was a little louder, but it was still not the normal volume, so it would be difficult to detect if I didn't pay attention.

This time, the person outside the door seemed to have lost patience. Suddenly, a dagger came into the crack of the door, and opened the door bolt lightly. Then the door was slowly pushed open. It seemed that he was worried that the door shaft would make too loud, and the other party was moving very slowly and softly. However, the candlelight in the room had not been turned off, and Tianyou could clearly see the tip of the dagger extending beside the door.

As the crack of the door became wider and wider, Tianyou was also ready. Just as the other party just entered the door, Tianyou suddenly took a step forward, pinched the other party's wrist, and then twisted and pulled away the dagger in the other party's hand. The person who came suffered pain, his body instinctively turned in the direction of Tianyou, and became a posture of his arm being twisted behind him. Generally speaking, ordinary people were controlled at this time, but not only was the body extremely flexible, but the waist was also amazing. He actually turned half a circle along with Tianyou's power, and wanted to twist Tianyou's wrist behind him. At the same time, he hooked his toes and kicked it up again, and planned to snatch it back.

When Tianyou saw the dagger, he simply took advantage of the opportunity when one foot had not yet landed on the ground to hook the other foot. However, he didn't expect that the other party's body was too soft. With the twist of his waist, he maintained his balance while his steps were tilted. He still planned to catch the dagger and subdue Tianyou.

When Tianyou discovered this situation, he simply pushed all his strength over with a fierce look. In terms of body flexibility, he might as well use his strength and strength.

Sure enough, Tianyou's force could no longer stabilize his body for convenience, and was immediately deviated from the direction. Tianyou's waist was pressed against the force of the local area and forced himself to twist himself upwards, and then the two of them fell to the ground together, making a loud bang.

Most of the buildings on the Shenzhou Continent are made of wooden structures, and even newly built houses are hit by this blow. Especially now at night, in this world without electricity, once the sky goes dark, it is really terrifyingly quiet. The sound of the two people hitting the ground is even louder in such a dark night.

Originally, Tianyou had some follow-up actions after he threw down the other party, but during the fall, he smelled the faint body fragrance on the other party's body, and then the humming under his body instantly fell to the ground and the touch of the two bodies colliding together further proved that the other party was a woman.

After hitting the ground, the two of them turned face to face. Tianyou held the ground and opened a little distance a little, and immediately saw the other person's appearance with the not-so-light candlelight.

"Pandora?"

The other party also stopped moving at this time. Just as he was about to speak, the door of the inner room was suddenly opened. Sister Qi rushed to the outer room and was stunned.

The noise just now was so loud that I probably heard it in the whole building, not to mention that Qi Xiaomei was in the inner room. I thought I had encountered someone attacked her and rushed out of the inner room immediately. As a result, I saw Tianyou lying on the ground with a woman I didn't know, and Tianyou was pressing on someone. It seemed that she didn't seem to be fighting. As for the dagger... because of Tianyou's interference, Pandora failed to catch it, and the dagger was nailed directly to the beam of the roof. Qi Xiaomei didn't see it.

"you……?"

"Shh!" Tianyou first signaled that Xiaomei Qi would not make a sound, then quickly got up and pulled Pandora into the room. He turned around and looked outside. He found that the doors of several rooms were opened one after another. He quickly bowed and said, "I was accidentally tripped by the threshold just now. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

After hearing this explanation, the people around him retreated sleepily. Only a very small number of people complained, and no one else said anything. After all, the Shenzhou Continent is not like in peaceful times on earth. Many people become a little too arrogant because of the rich living environment. They always have to make trouble and like to make big fuss. Here, everyone emphasizes peace as the most important thing. After all, this world is already very dangerous, and those who are arrogant and domineering to make enemies everywhere can only be the children of the powerful. Ordinary people dare to do this, and usually they will be cheated to death if they fail to live to adulthood.

On Shenzhou Continent, it is really common for people to die.

When he closed the door, Tianyou didn't ask Pandora, but said to Xiaomei Qi first: "I'll introduce it to you. This is Pandora, it's me... a friend I met before. She just came to visit late at night. I thought it was a thief, but a misunderstanding happened." As he said that, he jumped up and pulled the dagger nailed to the roof and returned it to Pandora. Seeing this thing, Xiaomei Qi naturally had no misunderstandings. After all, who has ever seen a man and a woman who had a weapon with a tryst?

Tianyou introduced to Pandora again: "This is Little Sister Qi, a poor child. Now I am following me, I am my junior sister."

If it is not necessary, Tianyou will usually introduce Qi Xiaomei as a junior sister or a fucking sister she recognizes, so as not to discriminate against her after others know that she is a servant of the undead. Qi Xiaomei is also extremely grateful for this, and she feels that Tianyou will think about her, which means that she has not followed the wrong person. Of course, the "follow" she understands is the "follow" of a woman and a man, not the relationship between the employer and subordinates that Tianyou thinks.

After saying that, both sides relaxed, but they had no misunderstandings to say. After all, they were not Tianyou's female relatives, so there was no such thing as jealousy. Of course, this was what Tianyou thought.

"By the way, why did you come here in the middle of the night? You still wear it..." After the three of them sat down, Tianyou started asking curiously, and he had noticed Pandora's clothes. This was not a night-slide dress, but it was not a coat. It was a bit similar to a nightgown, but it was a bit more solemn, and it was the kind of regular clothes worn at home. Of course, this kind of clothes may still be a bit unfair to some people, because the cultures of the ten countries are not exactly the same. For example, Qin and Zhao are relatively open in this regard and have very little restrictions on women. Wei is particularly strict. Women's skin is not allowed to be exposed to any other part except for the wrist and above their necks. Such clothes with a little translucent are even more unfavorable. If they are caught, they must be soaked in a pig cage.

Pandora did not respond much to her clothes. Her mother was a gangster, and she spent more time without clothes than wearing them. Even if she had something to wear, she would probably not be able to cover anything. Although Pandora had not received gangster training, she was a woman who advocated freedom and was extremely strong, so she didn't care about these things. After all, she was a killer and there wouldn't be too many opportunities to appear in front of others. Some people really dared to gossip... and it was just slaughter.

Although Pandora herself doesn't care about going out like this, since Tianyou asked, she didn't mean to hide it. "I saw your name when I checked the account and found out that you had moved into the store, so I went down to see if my account could be collected."

"Check the account?" Tianyou was stunned at first, and then quickly reacted. "This... is this the store you opened? We moved into the black spot?"

Pandora immediately raised her eyebrows and blamed her: "What is a black store? Does the one I open must be a black store?"

Tianyou nodded. "A killer opened a store, I said, isn't anyone in the black store believed it?"

Pandora gave Tianyou a blank look, and then said seriously: "Now I am being chased by the Night Temple, and I can't take on the mission anymore. I always have to find some livelihoods to support myself." At this point, she suddenly reached out to Tianyou. "When do you plan to pay the money you owe me?"

Without saying a word, Tianyou took out a gold ingot from Wuyou's bag and slapped it on Pandora's hand. "I have a single business here, I wonder if you are interested?"

"What business?" Pandora asked absent-mindedly while playing with the golden ingots in her palm.

"I want to go back to Qin to participate in the national destiny mission, but the current situation is a little complicated. Therefore, I need a pair of eyes that can spy on everything in the dark, provide me with some information that I can't see, and if necessary, you may also need to help me do something that I cannot do or cannot do. How about it? Basically, they are your old skills, and they should be very suitable for you."

Pandora thought for a while and asked, "Where is the reward?"

Tianyou slapped two more ingots of gold ingots on the table with a bang. "This is the deposit, pay half of it later."

Pandora shook her head. "The risk is too high, and this reward is not worth taking risks. I am a good woman now and don't want to provoke you guys who are irrelevant."

"Puchi..." Tianyou couldn't help laughing, "You are the only good woman? Then what is she? Are you an archangel?"

Pandora looked at the little sister Qi who was pointing at Tianyou and asked, "What is an angel?"

"Uh...a humanoid monster with wings. But that's not the point. Tell me how much do you need to help?"

Pandora looked at Tianyou playfully, and until the other party was a little impatient, she slowly stretched out a finger.

"One hundred gold ingots? Are you kidding?"

One hundred taels of gold ingots, one hundred ingots is 10,000 taels of gold. Bai Qi led his army to resist the invasion of the Song and Zhao coalition forces, and cheated the 100,000 troops of the coalition forces. After returning to the court for triumphantly, he was only rewarded with tens of thousands of taels of gold. That time, Bai Qi killed 100,000 prisoners of the coalition forces, and the killings of the formation were not included. Even if Pandora cut off all the young talents from other countries this time, she would definitely not be able to raise enough 100,000 people. The price is no longer expensive. Is this obviously a slaughter?

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Seeing that Tianyou was angry, Pandora suddenly laughed. "It's okay to have no money to exchange for something else."

"What do you want?" Looking at Pandora, Tianyou knew that she didn't want money at all, and she was afraid that the next request was her real purpose.

Sure enough, Pandora obviously became serious this time. She looked at Tianyou and said, "I want to become stronger."

"What's the meaning?"

"Are you a monk?" Pandora said seriously: "I need to practice the mind method. Nothing in this world is trustworthy, only your own strength is the most reliable. So I need a high-end mind method that suits me. I know that this mind method is priceless for ordinary people, and even if you have 100,000 gold and one million gold, you can't buy it. But you are a disciple of Zixiao Palace. It should not be difficult for you. How about it? Is this business still done?"

Tianyou did not answer immediately, but made silent weighing in his heart. Pandora did not urge him and just waited aside.

Soon, Tianyou seemed to have made a decision. "You said that nothing in this world is not trustworthy, but I don't think so. I think you are a trustworthy person. So, I will help you find the mental method, but you will have to wait until this mission comes back to have a chance. Moreover, I hope to establish long-term cooperation to let you collect all kinds of useful information on my behalf. I know that you will not fully believe what you say to you now, so let time prove it. How about it? Believe me and complete the national destiny mission with me first. When I come back, I will help you find a mental method that suits you. How about it? Are you willing to believe me again?"
