Du Lang was holding Qiao hostage at this time. He held a knife in his hand and pressed it against Qiao's neck from behind, right in front of the aorta. With just one stroke, Qiao could return to the arms of death.

The boss was held hostage. The villains did not dare to act rashly and quickly put down their crossbows.

Qiao was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat. Although he was also a licker of blood when he was young, after his power gradually grew and stabilized, he basically left the killing to his subordinates and would not do it himself.

He had been neglected from the front line for so long, and had not experienced the feeling of his life being in the hands of others for so long, that he began to tremble unconsciously.

He spread his hands and said kindly: "My friend, calm down, this can be a friendly negotiation, isn't it?"

Du Lang took out a silver object the size of a rice grain from his pocket and waved it in front of Qiao: "Did you see this?"

Before Joe had time to look, Du Lang had already thrown the silver object to the ground.

"Bang." With a loud explosion, it burst into flames, and the surrounding area was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

The alchemy in this world can already refine gunpowder. The villains didn't find it novel, but they just didn't know what Durang wanted to do.

Soon, Durang gave them the answer.

"Hey." Qiao only felt a sharp stinging pain in his neck, and Du Lang's sneer sounded: "This is something I bought from the Hutch family alchemist, and it has been injected into your neck. As long as I want

, it will explode like just now, not very powerful, but enough to blow your head off."

After hearing this, Qiao's eyes darkened and he almost fainted from fright. He said in the softest tone in his life: "Don't worry, buddy, I won't stab you in the back, I swear."

Durand pushed Joe out.

"Oh... by God..." Qiao subconsciously touched his neck, begging for God's blessing in despair, completely forgetting that he had just blasphemed a nun last night, and he asked tremblingly, "This thing

It won’t explode suddenly, right?”

Du Lang said calmly: "Don't worry, the quality of the Heqi family's alchemy is guaranteed. As long as you don't pinch it randomly, and don't go to the doctor for random surgery, it won't explode. Wait until I finish the Twilight City

I will help you take it out personally."

Qiao wiped the cold sweat off his head, muttered a few times, and politely asked Durang to sit on his chair.

Qiao winked at the villains and asked them to drag the wounded down for treatment. Then he smiled politely and said: "My friend, it was just a friendly joke. I welcome guests, especially rich guests!"

Durang: "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared, let's get down to business. I need 6 invitations for the banquet hosted by the Chino administrator tomorrow. The kind without defects, can you do it?"

Qiao hesitated. He swallowed and muttered: "Six invitations... To be honest, it's a big problem... It's not that there is a problem with forging it. As long as you give me enough money, I can even get it from the nobles."

I’ll give you 6 real invitations.”

"However, every invitation to this banquet has a corresponding name. There should be a dedicated person with the roster to check. The face, invitation name, and roster name all match before you can enter. In this case

, it’s useless no matter how fake the invitation is.”

This information dispelled Durang's last doubts.

If the invitation to this banquet was anonymous, he really had to think about whether it might be a trap.

The current strict real-name system, which even requires face recognition, is reassuring.

Du Lang handed over a piece of paper and said calmly: "You don't need to worry about these issues. Just make the invitation and write your name as written on it. Remember, there can't be any flaws. If there are any flaws, I guarantee you

His head will fly high."

Now that there is an explosive alchemy object in his neck and his life is in his hands, even if Qiao has concerns, he can only agree: "Okay, I will take this business. As for the reward..."

Du Lang took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it over.

When Qiao saw that the cloth bag was so shriveled and shriveled, he immediately sighed.

Such a small amount, even if it is all Silver Moon, is not worth much, I am afraid that this business will not be profitable.

Qiao took the bag and opened it casually. When he saw the five golden moon coins inside, his face suddenly turned pale and he quickly covered the bag: "This?!"

Golden Moon??!!

In the monthly coin system, 1 gold moon is equivalent to 1,000 silver moons! And you can buy military controlled products that silver moons cannot!

More importantly, the Golden Moon not only has strong purchasing power, but is also the most noble status symbol in the entire Doguland. Only provincial officials and members of the royal family can settle their salaries in the Golden Moon.

Who is this Du Lang...

If there is only one gold moon, it may be that you met a noble person by chance and received a reward.

But now Du Lang casually took out 5 gold moons, indicating that he is a real "gold moon class", and his status is probably beyond his imagination.

Qiao Mo immediately nodded and lowered his eyebrows, with a humble look on his face: "Sir, if you had taken this out earlier, the unpleasant scene would not have happened. I am willing to do anything for you."

Just kidding! Although Kino is the top leader in Twilight City, how can an administrator of the Silver Moon class compare to a big shot of the Gold Moon class?!

Durang raised his chin, and his gentle voice concealed his majesty: "To tell you the truth, I am the Royal Forest Minister. There is something wrong with this new Kino administrator in Twilight City. The royal family specially sent me to come down in plainclothes secretly.

investigation."

"You only need to do two things. First, help me get the invitation. Second, keep it a secret and don't tell anyone about us. When I finish handling the affairs in Twilight City, I will report you to the royal family.

Your merits will be greatly rewarded when the time comes."

Joe peed immediately after hearing this.

Even though he was living a prosperous life in the slums of Twilight City, making money everywhere, kicking down the door of one house today, and snatching the wife of that house the next, he looked majestic on the surface, but as soon as the name "Boss Qiao" came out, the common people started to

Running for his life everywhere.

But in fact, his status in Twilight City is very humble.

He does have a lot of money, but it is all illegal income. When using money, he is like a rat crossing the street. He needs to be careful everywhere. No matter how great his influence is, it is only limited to the slums and cannot spread out.

So what if you have money? If you meet any city defense soldier, even the lowest-level soldier, don't you still have to hand over a bag of monthly coins to flatter him and make him smile?

Not to mention meeting aristocrats. In the eyes of aristocrats, people from slums are nothing more than dogs on the roadside.

Even if he has money, he is just a rich dog.

This is unacceptable to the ambitious Joe. He is extremely eager to get involved with big shots and change his humble status. He is no longer just a rich dog in the slums, but can truly enter the upper class of Doguland.

Today is a good day. The royal minister came to visit in person and entrusted such an important task. He had to take it even at the risk of his own life!

Qiao Zhen was groveling and his loyalty was palpable: "No matter what you want to do, I am willing to follow you!"

There was a mini-bomb in Qiao's neck, and now he had successfully deceived him. Durang was already convinced that this transaction would not be known to outsiders.

Du Lang and Qiao confirmed some details, waited for more than two hours, and finally got the forged banquet invitation and left the slum.
Chapter completed!
