"Hey, you two! No weapons are allowed in the tavern! Look at you two, you look more dangerous than the other..."
"Yes, and this girl... Well, although she looks very beautiful, what does it mean to hang a sword in front and carry a sword on the back? Don't you think a sword is not enough for cutting?"
"Where are you from? Do you know the rules of the Fourth Tavern? Whether you are a soldier of the principality or an adventurer of the empire, as long as you enter the tavern with weapons, you will be regarded as a troublemaker!"
"Have you heard of Jianghu? Do you know how we drove them out two days ago? If you two guys commit crimes in this place, don't blame us, hey?"
Pushing away the two provocative players who came up from nowhere, the expressionless Duan Qing then quietly walked to the side of the red-haired girl. She didn't seem to notice as she was lying on the bar counter.
As the gray-robed magician approached behind him, he just twirled the bottom of the wine glass next to him with his fingers: "Why... haven't you... brought it over yet..."
"Don't drink until you get it." He reached out and pushed the wine glass aside. Duan Qing sighed and slowly helped the other person up: "Maybe you owe someone money for the wine and they have stopped supplying it."
"Stop?" The body swayed back and forth crookedly, and the red-haired girl's eyes were obviously still cloudy: "Who... told you... to stop, stop, you... you know... who I am...
………"
"Yes, yes, we know." As if the girl lying limply on his shoulder did not exist, Duan Qing, who remained calm, took out a bottle of magic potion from his waist: "Drink this glass of wine first.
Now, let’s talk about the drink money.”
"Don't worry, I'll take this cup."
He curled his lips and looked at the confused girl for a while, then smiled bitterly and showed his smile in front of the drunken Qian Zhihe. The figure belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing also appeared behind him.
, used his strength to stabilize the red-haired girl's figure on the bar: "You're really drunk."
"Has it been dealt with?"
"I don't know where the gangster came from, and he wants to use the name of Fei Si Tavern to cause trouble."
Pointing to the direction they came from, Xue Ling Huan Bing gestured towards the two players who had tried to stop them before but had already hid somewhere unknown: "I hope the real Fei Si Tavern can take care of it a little bit."
They...well, what did you give her to drink?"
"The abnormal condition relieving potion is known as the 'panacea'." Duan Qing replied with a normal expression: "Although it is not yet to the point where any curse and abnormal condition can be solved, it is still possible to relieve her hangover."
"Is it okay to relieve a hangover?"
"Of course, alcohol anesthesia is just one of the abnormal states."
Duan Qing, who put away the potion bottle in his hand that had been drunk, and posed for a toast, finally showed a bit of a smile: "According to normal circumstances, it will naturally require a special potion formula and high-quality medicine to relieve this state.
I don’t have the same level of alchemy skills, but thanks to Violet’s gift, I can still prepare this kind of elixir.”
"That's it... then just give me a few bottles first." Xue Ling Huan Bing inadvertently raised the corners of her mouth, showing an incomprehensible smile, and then stretched her hands into the arms that Duan Qing had just withdrawn: "Wan
If I get drunk one day, I will drink two bottles to wake up."
"Wait, wait a minute, don't dig out like this, okay?" Duan Qing, who was holding Qian Zhihe, hurriedly pushed the other person's groping hand aside: "This thing is a treasured item now. I haven't made a few bottles now. If they are all used up,
"You took it away, I'll give it back"
"Brother Duan?"
The swaying body finally appeared somewhat stable. The eyes belonging to Qian Zhihe finally became clear as a certain medicine took effect. Her head was slightly tilted and her eyes were also on Duan Qing's.
It stayed on him for a long time, and finally he gradually became panicked: "You, you, you, you, you, you"
"When did you come?"
She struggled to get out of Duan Qing's side, and then looked at him and Xue Ling Huan Bing looking at her and blushed: "I, I... you... you..."
"It seems that he has recovered. Violet brand elixir, you deserve it."
Duan Qing let out a long breath, released his hands and pointed his thumbs at the top of the pub: "How do you feel? By the way, how much did you drink?"
"me……"
As if remembering something that was hard to let go, the clear eyes of the red-haired girl suddenly became lost: "By the way, I came back from the Kalilan Hills, and then...then..."
"So you should have found them."
Duan Qing paused his words slightly, then turned to look at Xue Ling Huan Bing beside him: "And the result seems to be a little unsatisfactory?"
"They... they did attack Fars Fortress." Qian Zhihe replied with a low expression: "Although they did not ask in detail, they still admitted the matter, and... they also took away their hidden weapons.
camp, intending to continue carrying out the attack plan."
"So they are serious about coming?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "They are going to oppose us without any hesitation?"
"I, I won't be with them." Qianzhihe hurriedly waved his hand, leaning back a little, and his eyes became evasive when looking at Duan Qing: "I, I don't want to be with them either.
I will no longer be their backing, nor will I continue to be their secret weapon. The name of the Red Lotus Gang has nothing to do with me..."
"Whether it matters or not is not yours to decide."
Interrupting Qianzhihe's coquettish declaration, Xueling Huanbing, who was sitting on the other side, said with a cold face: "The Red Lotus Gang and the Red Lotus Girls are locals who don't know much about the reputation of adventurers.
, I am afraid that they will cast doubt on you for these reasons, not to mention that the principality has now become a mad dog, wanting to seize every opportunity it can to slander other people..."
"The word slander is used too much. After all, they didn't find the wrong target this time." Duan Qing sighed and turned around: "Now I'm afraid that because of the information they have obtained, they will eventually drag Xiao Qian away.
into the dispute between the two countries."
"No, it's okay." Qianzhihe hurriedly waved his hand: "The Mages Council doesn't know the things I have done secretly, and they won't let me be bullied by the principality so easily, as long as they don't have any tangible evidence.
, they can’t do anything to me.”
"That's the problem." Duan Qing nodded the other party's forehead: "What if there is a problem within the Honglian Gang? What is the probability that they will betray you?"
"They won't betray me...right?"
The firm voice he raised just now softened into uncertain suspicion, and Qianzhihe's expression then became much uglier: "Brother...brother, he took over such a big task without telling me, and he didn't care about me at all.
From the current position, if he and his men really reveal my secret to the outside world in order to put me on their chariot..."
"Even if Qicai Lingguang doesn't do this, his employer might ask him to do it." Xue Ling Huan Bing frowned deeply: "Based on our previous experiences and knowledge, they said
They may have also participated in the war in Thebilis Castle. If there are intricate relationships and support from forces behind them, it is not impossible for such a thing to happen..."
"I should have thought of this a long time ago."
Looking at the red lotus staff in her hand, the red-haired girl's eyes gradually became immersed in an expression of self-blame: "The first time he came to ask me for help, I should have refused him. I was just soft-hearted at that time, but I didn't expect that in the future
It will become more and more involved..."
"Don't dwell on the past, just like what happened in this fortress."
A warm voice then appeared in front of the three people, accompanied by an armored warrior carrying a long sword who was standing behind the bar at some point: "Instead of continuing to be bound by the pain of memories, let's
It’s better to focus on the future, right?”
"Brother Miner."
After recognizing the identity of this person, Duan Qing's smiling face then turned to the direction they came from: "There were two people at the door just now who wanted to stop us from entering the tavern, and they used the 'no weapons allowed'
'Such bullshit reasons... Do you know about this?"
"The main visitors to the Fei Si Tavern are adventurers and soldiers from the principality. How can it be forbidden to carry weapons? He is not one of ours, and I have already sent someone to deal with it." He smiled at Duan Qing, looking at the African miners.
Then it fell on Qian Zhihe: "Compared with this, the problem in front of us is the problem that we need to solve urgently."
"Brother Mo... ah no, Brother Lin." He asked Duan Qing in a low voice: "If the crime of attacking the empire that day really falls on Xiao Qian, what will be the consequences?"
"The stance of the Magic Council has always been to remain neutral. They will never sit back and watch as magicians in the Council use such means to interfere in conflicts between countries." Before Duan Qing could say his answer, someone sitting in front of the bar
Qianzhihe muttered in a low voice: "Of course, compared to this matter, I am more angry that my brother would actually do such a bold thing..."
"When you finally caught up with them, did you ask them why they did what they did?" Duan Qing tapped his fingers on the table in front of him: "Even if you are the employer."
"How could a person like my brother say this to me?" The muttering in his mouth became lower and lower, and the blackness on Qianzhihe's face became more intense: "No, it's not so much that he concealed it.
For me, it would be better to say that since he had a car accident, his character has become more and more strange..."
"What did you say?"
"No, it's nothing."
Qianzhihe, who seemed to have exhausted all his energy and forcibly cheered up, then looked at the people in front of him: "Go on, what should we do?"
"Brother Lin is probably leaving." Before Duan Qing could speak, the African miner once again revealed Qing Ling's plan in advance: "I heard that the imperial investigation team has issued a recall order to you? What are you planning?
Time to set off?"
"How come you know everything? I understand." Halfway through his words of surprise, Duan Qing's eyes revealed a look of surprise: "That nine-fingered beggar... he is also in contact with you, right?
"
"Intelligence workers in the world are one family. Even if they do not cooperate with each other, the content they learn will not make much difference due to competition." The African miner shook his head and explained: "
Of course we have to understand it more clearly when it comes to the security of our land in the Principality, not to mention."
"Your Highness the Princess seems to have been in a tough fight recently." He pointed toward the east outside the tavern: "If we don't hurry over, she may not be able to withstand the attack of those people from the Principality."
"We'll probably leave soon."
Shaking his head towards the rain curtain outside the window, Xueling Huanbing, who was sitting next to Duan Qing, then expressed their plan as the team leader: "We have been waiting for several days, and the time is almost wasted. Even if this
It will rain heavily again, and we will leave here first."
"Go first? Does that mean the people from Lanshan won't leave?" The African miner blinked his eyes: "Are you going to fight to the death with Jianghu?"
"How do we know? We don't care about them." Duan Qing waved his hand indifferently: "There is not much connection between Jianghu and us, and we don't know what is wrong with them. From when we came to
It’s been a struggle since I started here until now…”
"In the final analysis, the remaining power confrontations in this fortress are only the empire and the principality, Jianghu and Lanshan." The African miner swept his hand across the bar and gestured to the surroundings: "If it hadn't happened that night
In the battle, you and the Honglian Gang, as well as people like Yinzhu and Xiaoqian, will not appear in the sight of those high-ranking military officials."
"And that Yunmeng." As if remembering the root of these incidents, his eyes fell on Duan Qing: "How do you plan to deal with him?"
"We were about to talk about this matter." Duan Qing's eyes fell on Qian Zhihe: "We are going to take him with us in case he may bring more problems, but we just don't know
The representatives of the Mages Council who are staying here, will they let go of the wanted criminal they want?"
"It's not impossible to leave that wanted criminal under your control. After all, I don't have the ability to take him back to the Mages Council now." After sitting there with eyes wide open for a long time, Qian Zhihe's face was still deeply filled with emotion.
Buried in the long red hair hanging down: "And... and I also want to see the Red Lotus Gang again. I, I still want to work harder..."
"Then it would be best for her to follow you."
A mysterious voice then passed into the ears that only Duan Qing could hear. It was Violet's low words that came from a distance in some unknown way: "According to my observation."
"The little guys you are paying attention to seem to have started moving in the direction of the principality."
