An old man with a gray slicked back hair, wearing a thick jacket and leggings and wide trousers, an old man in 60s. He was leaning on an eagle-stepping stone stick on his hunched back, and was supported by two teenagers with boyish buns.

Came over.

The others avoided it, but kept secretly peeping in this direction with their eyes.

Chen Baiqi looked at the old man in his sixties, and his system marked four big green characters on his head: Sassafras, clan, home, and master.

This old man in his 60s is called Sassafras Yun, and he is currently the head of the Sassafras Mansion. Although he is old, his heart is not old. Over the years, he has been behind the scenes step by step to push the Sassafras Mansion to be on par with the other two mansions.

His heart is like his face, cold and rigid, with a sense of cruelty and ruthlessness.

He was supported by two teenagers who were not even taller than his crown. He probably had some inconvenience in his legs and feet, so he walked very slowly, and his steps were much slower than those of ordinary people.

Chen Baiqi frowned slightly.

Whether it was his inherent illness in the past or the sequelae of the disaster brought about by the barbarians, if you want to take an old man with handicapped legs and feet, it is really...

However, he is the main mission target that cannot be given up no matter what. He is indispensable. No matter how difficult it is to deal with, she has to swallow it for the mission.

Chen Baiqi bought Chimuhe's bear body and stepped forward with a bold step. She clasped her fists and said, "But the head of the Sassafras family?"

Mr. Sassafras stood in front of Chen Baiqi's "Akagi" body. He was short and thin, and looked like he was only as big as a palm.

He frowned, and suddenly his deep-folded eyelids tightened into a triangle, and he felt dissatisfied. He raised his eyelids and looked Chen Baiqi up and down, especially her hairless and eyebrowless head (she had her face covered).

, only exposing the area above the eyes), and wearing nondescript clothing.

It can be seen from the way he looks at people that Sauryun is a pampered person who is used to being flattered by others, so the sharpness and probing in his eyes are undisguised.

"Yeah." He snorted from the wings of his nose and nodded reservedly. He wriggled his unhealthy and white lips, and looked behind Chen Baiqi. The folds between his eyebrows could almost kill a fly.

There seemed to be a pool of phlegm in his throat, and he said with a hoarse and rolling breath: "You...are you the reinforcement sent by General Cang Yue?"

Chen Baiqi had a smile on his lips. She knew that he must be doubting her identity. Judging from his expression, it seemed that he had some knowledge of the Cang Yue Army people. Now look at her (Akagi He) and the rescue she brought.

The army is completely different from the Cang Yue Legion, so this question arises.

In order to dispel his suspicion and pick him up smoothly, Chen Baiqi said: "There is no need to worry, Mr. Sassafras. Can you recognize this iron sign, Mr. Sassafras?"

Chen Baiqi took out a palm-sized iron plate from a hanging bag on his waist and raised it in front of him. Mr. Sassafras waved away the support of the two teenagers, raised his head and narrowed his cloudy old eyes, and looked at the iron plate carefully for a long time.

, his expression gradually relaxed.

He murmured: "He...the general is determined, he is determined..."

He seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time. The wrinkles on his face were wrinkled into piles, like the hills of yellow sand blown by the wind. His low voice was especially hoarse, dry and unpleasant.

Chen Baiqi's eyes alternated between dark and dark, and finally she smiled, put the iron card back into her bag, and pulled out a bulging water bag and handed it to him: "Sassafras, please use some water first."

Old Sassafras covered his mouth and coughed a few times. He glanced at her sideways with his drooped eyelids, then stretched out his hand tremblingly to take the water bag. He shook it first, but did not drink it, but handed it to him.

There were two young men. After one of them took a sip, Sassafras took it and drank it with peace of mind.

Chen Baiqi had no special expression about this.

At this time, a middle-aged woman in bright clothes but with messy buns and a middle-aged man with a ferocious and urgent expression suddenly appeared behind Mr. Sassafras.

This middle-aged man must have been injured. He was supported by a middle-aged woman with one arm and jumped over with one leg.

"Hi, do you have anything to eat?"

He glared at Chen Baiqi, his lips were chapped and purple, his eyes were bags black, and he clearly looked like he was deficient in energy and blood.

Chen Baiqi's expression was calm: "Yes, but not much."

"If you have it, hurry up and get it!"

The man waved to her angrily, looking impatient, obviously frightened by hunger.

Chen Baiqi looked down at him and smiled.

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then his eyes changed as he stared at her, his face looking a little ugly.

But the middle-aged woman cast a sinister look, removed her hand from supporting the middle-aged man, and rushed over with a show of teeth and claws: "What nonsense are you talking about, hurry up and get all the food -!"

The middle-aged woman screamed and rushed over. Unexpectedly, before she could get close to Chen Baiqi, she was kicked away by a leg stretched out from behind and knocked unconscious against a pillar.

Mr. Sassafras was stunned for a moment by this scene. When he came to his senses and looked back, he saw that the middle-aged woman had already passed out, and his face suddenly turned dark.

It took a while for the middle-aged man to react. He suddenly trembled in fright and stared at Chen Baiqi in shock and fear. He took a few steps back, fearing that if he came any closer, he would meet with the middle-aged woman.

Same fate.

"She rushed up with such a ferocious look. I just thought that my guards thought she was going to attack me, so they were frightened and struck back. I hope I won't be surprised." Chen Baiqi looked like a bandit and said polite and polite words.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill.

Chen Baiqi glanced at them gently with cool eyes.

Don't think you can just treat her like a soft persimmon.

Yes, she did come specifically to save them, but they seemed to have completely forgotten one thing. The strength of their three mansions has long been exhausted. Next, whether they fall into the hands of King Di Rong or Master Cang Yue

, they are just cattle and sheep that have been fattened and ready to be slaughtered. What qualifications do they think they have to be arrogant and domineering?

If they still don't recognize the situation clearly, they are really hopelessly stupid.

Chen Baiqi smiled elegantly, but his current face was as frightening as a wolf showing its white teeth: "Sassafras, have you thought clearly, are you willing to leave with me?"

The stick in Old Sassafras's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he pointed at Chen Baiqi. His body shook violently, his lips trembled, and he stared at Chen Baiqi as if he could eat people.

The two teenagers quickly supported him and looked at Chen Baiqi with a sense of timidity and fear.

Chen Baiqi's eyes were calm and clear. She looked at him without moving away.

"you--"

Chen Baiqi interrupted him and said in a more serious tone: "Old Sassafras must think clearly about what to say next. You, the Sassafras clan, are probably the only ones left here. If the last bloodline of the Sassafras clan,

If you have lost everything, then your Sassafras clan has come to an end. If you choose to stay here out of impulse, your future end will be to be minced by King Di Rong and others and buried in the earth.

I have been cheated, but if you are willing to leave with me, you may lose a lot of things, but at least you will be able to leave the most important things behind... Mr. Sassafras needs to think carefully about what to do."

Because she had changed her face, Chen Baiqi no longer pretended to be polite with them. She was pressed for time, so she opened up her face and told the truth.

of!

After hearing her treacherous, savage and rude words, Mr. Sassafras was really stunned for a moment.

He naturally knew the right choice. When he heard that the reinforcements were sent by Master Cang Yue, he had already figured out the reason and knew why Master Cang Yue came.

These are all a pack of wolves coming to eat!

But... what this reckless man said is not bad. If they fall into the hands of King Di Rong, they will definitely die. But if they fall into the hands of Master Cang Yue, at least Master Cang Yue has a kind nature and will remember that they are both from the Chu country or that they know each other.

For my own sake, I won’t kill them all.

After thinking about this, Sassafras Lao looked back in pain at the room of embarrassed and weak descendants of the Sassafras family. His eyes suddenly turned red, tears filled his eyes, and he finally shook his head and compromised.

"I'm leaving with you, but..." Mr. Sassafras didn't want to look at Chen Baiqi's hateful face. He turned away his eyes fiercely, facing Chen Bai's standing position in the air, and said firmly: "You have to give me a sassafras."

In exchange for some water and food, you can take any valuable object in this hall!"

System: Sassafras Mansion side mission (1) Sassafras Lao is willing to trade water and food with you using the items in the Sassafras Mansion Juyi Hall. Accept/reject?

Chen Baiqi had originally prepared water and food for them, but now this transaction was just a sure profit. Of course, Mr. Sassafras also used these discarded and tasteless items to trade with her.

Chen Baiqi said: "Deal."

Chen Baiqi asked Chen Jiajun to take down enough water and food for the Sassafras family to eat, and distributed it among the Sassafras families in the hall. Then she led the soldiers to patrol around the Juyi Hall of the Sassafras Mansion.

She took a fancy to a teapot.

System: Exquisite Yuhua teapot, worth 5 gold.

System: Yellow satin brocade curtain, worth 3 gold.

System: Pisces Lucky Cabinet, worth 400 knives.

System: White Tiger Skin Blanket, worth 7 gold.

…

She walked around the hall, which was full of furniture and utensils used by wealthy people. If there was no one else around her, she might just put them all into the temporary space of the system and put them away when she got back.

Sell ​​them for some money, or keep some suitable ones for her own use, but the problem is that she has no way to collect them now.

At this time, Chen Baiqi moved his eyes to a wall. At this time, the same wall decoration was hung on it, but the system marked it with different colors.

Everything else is white, and it's red.

Chen Baiqi hurriedly stepped forward and took a look. It was a hanging painting on cloth. The content of the painting was "Spring Outing Pictures". It looked like a master-level water-quality painting. If you look closely, you will feel fascinating.

System: "Spring Outing Map" - a mysterious copy map.

Chen Baiqi's eyes suddenly lit up. She stepped on the table and chair beside her and took it down.

This painting is equivalent to a treasure map. Although she can't see any traces of the map at the moment, she thinks that such a mysterious copy must have very rich rewards.

She walked out of the hall and said to Mr. Sassafras who was drinking water and eating cakes: "I think this silk painting is very beautiful. It would be a waste if it fell into the hands of thieves. Let Xiaoke keep it for his own use."

Sassafras Lao stopped his movements and glanced at the "Spring Outing Picture" in Chen Baiqi's hand. He didn't have much nostalgia in his eyes. He curled up the corners of his mouth in a cold and sarcastic manner and nodded indifferently.

Chen Baiqi knew that he must not know the secret in the painting, so she quickly rolled it up and put it into a cloth bag.
