Nashan shrank his hands in fright. He had never seen such a monster before and was a little scared instinctively. Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing and said, "Junior brother, if you think of it as a puppy, you won't feel scared. It might be a pet." The one holding the monster After the man scolded the monster, it lay on the ground obediently and grunted, making Nashan roll his eyes.
Nanadon said: "Boss, let's find a place to stay first and then discuss what to do next, okay?"
Li Qiang said with a smile: "Hey Nanatun, you are the landlord, so I will let you make arrangements. Paben will take care of Ben and don't get separated." Paben hurriedly agreed. Ben was even more surprised than Nashan. He came in with a crystal source bow in his hand. The Queen of the City looked at him so dizzy that he didn't know what to look at. Paben pulled him and the two of them chattered non-stop.
Tange hurriedly ran from a distance to Nanadon and said: "Military Commander Kankanchi and I can't go back. I quietly contacted a friend in the military department and he asked us two not to go back. When we reported to the army, the military headquarters already regarded us as traitors. Oh, I never expected this."
Nanatun said angrily: "How can they do this? I will go to the military headquarters to discuss the matter with them." Tange sighed: "Commander, you have been regarded as an officer who died in battle. How can you explain it when you go back?" Kankanchi had a gloomy face. Suddenly he said: "I am not a traitor, but I will not go back. Boss, I will follow you. Anyway, I am homeless. Let's go with the boss together."
Li Qiang said calmly: "Kan Kanchi, you two are staying with us first. There is still room for resolution. I have some ideas and we can discuss them after we settle down." Kan Kanqi was very convinced and said to Li Qiang: "Okay. I listen to the boss."
"There is a very famous underground accommodation here, does the boss go there to rest?" Tange asked.
Li Qiang shouted almost without thinking: "No, no, no, I hate living underground. You haven't lived enough yet. It's better to live higher up to feel more comfortable." In the black prison, Li Qiang vowed never to go into the cave if possible. It's really terrible. The prisoner was scared. He thought to himself: If I go underground again, I will become a veritable ground rat.
Seeing everyone's fierce looks, Tange realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly interrupted: "Ah, I remembered that there is a restaurant here in the light red house over there. Well, I remember that there is something that should be called soup or soup. You know how to say this word, it's delicious. Would you like to try it?" He smiled in a flattering manner.
Nashan wanted to keep a straight face but was so amused by his saying "it's delicious" that he almost drooled out. He opened his mouth and shouted: "Boss, uh, master, go get something to eat, Xiaona is hungry." Kankanchi fiercely When I heard the phrase "Xiao Na", I couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiao Na hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
Everyone was not amused by Nashan. Instead, everyone looked at Kankanqi laughing so hard that his noses and tears were shed. Nashan said innocently: "Why are you laughing? Tell me and let me laugh too." Kankan Qi held his stomach and pointed at Nashan but was speechless.
Li Qiang felt sad in his heart. He knew that this was an opportunity for everyone to vent their resentment and dissatisfaction. Qiang smiled to himself and said, "Okay, let's go have a big meal to celebrate everyone's new life." Na Shanxian agreed and shouted, "Okay." He took the lead. The crowd rushed over. Everyone rushed towards the red house laughing and joking.
Because it was not meal time, the whole hall was empty. Tange called the waiter. The waiter saw that each of these people had a ferocious face and most of them had a red mark on their forehead. He didn't know what they were doing and answered Tange carefully. Don't hesitate to ask questions.
While they were busy, a group of people came in from the outside. They were a group of yellow people like Li Qiang. They were a little surprised to see Li Qiang and the others. There are very few yellow people in Tambang Continent and the West Continent is the main gathering area for yellow people.
Paben quietly told Li Qiang that they seemed to be from the Western Continent, not like a business trip but more like a mission.
There were about twenty people in the group, fifteen or sixteen of them were warriors. The armor they wore was very peculiar. The black twig pattern stretched from head to back. The chest was covered with shiny dark blue ripples, exposing extremely thick arms. The handguards on the wrists extended. The elbow-length black cloak accentuates the tall figure. The long sword handles are exposed on each shoulder, making them look very brave and powerful.
The four of them seemed to be their captain. The armor style he wore was the same as that of the warriors. The difference was that the color was bright red, as dazzling as fire. The two groups of people did not speak and looked at each other coldly. Li Qiang did not move. As they sat he knew their master had not yet come.
Zhao Hao, Han Jin, Nashan and Zhao Zhi stood in front of them. Zhao Hao's momentum was even more different. His cultivation level had improved greatly than before. Just standing still made the warriors who were facing each other feel a little overwhelmed and wanted to pull out their weapons. impulse.
Li Qiang's expression moved and he noticed that a master had come in. Sure enough, a thin middle-aged man walked in outside the door and said, "What did you do? You haven't checked who they are." The leading man in red armor said softly and respectfully, "Master Manager. I don’t know which country they are from in the Western Continent. They all seem to be experts and villains. Let’s go and ask them.”
The middle-aged man noticed that Zhao Hao was slightly startled. He knew that this man was definitely a master with almost the same skills as himself. His expression was a little nervous, but he immediately calmed down and said: "I'm polite, which country in the Western Continent are you brothers from the mission?" First, let me introduce that we are the envoy of Ladu Kingdom."
Zhao Hao still had the old habit of clasping his fists and saluting: "I have admired you for a long time." Li Qiang smiled behind the table and said: "What have you admired for so long?" He stood up and said: "We are just eating here. Is there nothing wrong with the people in the West Continent?" The manager then realized that Li Qiang was their leader. Zhao Hao blushed and said, "Master."
The warriors were shocked that this young man turned out to be his master. Just as the steward was about to speak again, two girls came in from the door and one of them said, "Uncle Aji asked you what's wrong with you and you still haven't come out." The steward smiled bitterly and said: " Someone hasn’t asked clearly yet.”
Crisp footsteps sounded from outside the door. Three women and one man came in from the door. All the warriors knelt down on one leg and said in unison: "Welcome Master." Manager Aji stared at Li Qiang and the others nervously for fear that they would do something.
The hostess of the mission arrived. Li Qiang was so curious that he stared at what she looked like. He saw that she was about twenty years old, with fair complexion, bright eyes, a black head, and a blue hair. Jingguan wore a flowing goose-yellow dress and looked elegant. She said, "We are all here to eat, so let's not disturb others." Her voice was euphemistic and pleasant.
Standing next to her was a masked man in green clothes who followed closely behind her silently. He seemed to be an expert guard.
Manager Aji said to her: "I think it's better to be careful. I heard that the masters from the country have arrived." She smiled and said gently: "Does this mean we won't do anything?" Manager Aji didn't dare to say any more. Step aside.
Li Qiang also invited his people to sit down and eat. He was thinking about whether to get close to them. They were from the Western Continent and Haiyanao might know that this girl seemed to be quite easy to talk to.
Tange introduced: "This is green crispy and very delicious. Well, this sweet tooth root is very sweet, be careful to choke on your throat." Nashan said with a bitter face: "It's not delicious, it's not as delicious as the food in our hometown." .Is there any braised meat here? It would be best to have meat dipped in a big pancake with sauce. Wow, I haven’t had it in a long time, I really want to eat it.”
Seeing that he was about to finish eating, Li Qiang was secretly worried that he would not find a chance to talk to that group of people.
Several waiters carried a large plate and carefully placed it on the table with a lid on it. They said something to Tange and then withdrew.
Tange smiled and said, "This is the most famous dish here. Its name is Baji. I don't know how to translate it."
Nashan was overjoyed and said, "Such a big plate must be very satisfying. I'll be here first." When he opened the lid, he saw that the plate was full of light blue squirming worms with thick fingers and palms. Nashan jumped up high with a howl. Those swarms of The samurai stood up with a whoosh and drew their swords and looked over.
Tangana Natun, Kankanchi and Ben were all salivating. Kankanchi picked up one and put it in his mouth. He heard a "chirp" sound and said with a face full of intoxication: "Crispy, soft and the best worms." Nashan retched for a while and said, "Boss, I want to strangle this bad guy Tange to death."
Li Qiang saw the waiter also carrying the same large plate to the table of the envoys and thought, would they dare to eat such insects?
Li Qiang is very brave now, but it is not easy to hear the "chirp" sound. Nashan, Han Jin and Zhao Zhi could not bear it and rushed outside the house. Only Zhao Hao still gritted his teeth and insisted that if Li Qiang did not go out, he would It won't leave.
Ben and Paben also seemed to like it very much. Ben grabbed several strips at a time and threw them into his mouth. They tasted very sweet. Li Qiang looked at the mission's plate, but he didn't expect that when he opened the lid, there was a burst of burnt aroma, which whetted his appetite. Li Qiang He asked Tange curiously: "Hey, what they eat is cooked."
Tang Ge saw that there were only a few worms left on the plate. Everyone reached out at the same time. He snatched the last two and held them in his hands. Then he smiled and said, "People in the Old West Continent like to eat them grilled. We all like to eat them raw. Don't grab them." Kankanqi watched him speak and snatched the bugs from his hand and threw them into his mouth at lightning speed. As soon as Tange caught the bugs, he heard Kankanqi's mouth curse with "baha" and "baha": "So much is not enough for you to eat." A series of words that Li Qiang didn't understand came out.
Kankanchi listened nonchalantly with a happy and comfortable look on his face, which made Tange frustrated.
Tange suddenly remembered something and asked Li Qiang quietly: "Boss, it's terrible."
Li Qiang laughed and said: "Why do you want to have another plate?" Tange smiled bitterly: "No, I don't have money. How will I pay the bill later? I just thought about eating the boss." Zhao Hao heard from the side and stretched out his hand from his arms. He took out an ingot of gold and said, "This should be enough."
Tange picked up the gold and looked at it, shaking his head and saying, "What is this? We can't use it to pay bills here." Zhao Hao was also confused. It was the first time he heard someone say what gold was, and he was speechless.
Li Qiang was shocked. If you don't have money, you don't have to live for free. This is not his habit. He asked hurriedly: "What kind of money is here? Tange, are the crystals here valuable? Can I exchange them for crystals?" Tange said: " Maybe it’s possible, but whoever has crystal stones can’t do it. I want it to be of good quality.”
Li Qiang took out a piece of Huangchen Stone in his hand, which is considered a top-grade immortal stone in the world of cultivation. Tange had never seen such a top-grade crystal before. He picked it up and looked around, wondering: "What kind of crystal is this? This is the first time I've seen it. I don't know." Can I exchange money?" Zhao Hao took it and looked at it, but he hadn't seen it either. After a while, no one recognized this kind of crystal stone. Li Qiang was in trouble.
Li Qiang smiled bitterly and said: "The low-level crystals have been used as weapons in the Black Prison. I have all high-grade crystals here. How come you haven't seen this kind of crystal?" He suddenly thought of a person who shouted: "Nashan Nashan Come in quickly." He shouted without paying attention.
The group of warriors who were very loyal to their duties stood up and were on guard again when they heard Li Qiang's shout. Nashan rushed in and saw the warriors nervous and shouted: "Boss, are you going to fight? Take me." "Han Jin and Zhao Zhi followed closely, one on the left and the other on the right.
Under the command of four red-armored captains, the samurai of the mission immediately formed a defensive formation to closely guard their mistress. Li Qiang felt that they were too cautious and cursed with a smile: "Nashan, who wants you to fight? I told you to have it." Something." Nashan came over with a disappointed "Oh". He just learned the Kung Fu of the Three-Legged Cat. He raised his fist all day long and looked like he was causing trouble. He always wanted to show off his power and let others know that I, Nashan, am not someone to be trifled with. .
Nashan covered his bald head and asked, "What's wrong, boss?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but asked, "Junior brother, why are you covering your head?" Kankanqi laughed and said, "He's afraid that the boss will beat him." Everyone burst into laughter.
"Boss, you see Lao Kan bullying me, you have to make the decision for me." Seeing him looking aggrieved and angry, everyone laughed even harder. The people at their table were lively and noisy, but in comparison, the table of the diplomatic mission seemed quiet and dull. A lot. The hostess seemed to pay a lot of attention to Li Qiang and they would often look over.
Li Qiang stretched out his hand and said, "Take out the crystal." Nashan jumped back almost as a reflex and said, "What crystal? I don't have one." Suddenly he blushed and took out a leather bag from his arms and opened the clasp. He poured all the crystals in the bag onto the table and said apologetically: "Alas, I'm too sensitive to the crystals after staying in the dark prison for a long time, hehehe."
This time, no one laughed at him. Fighting for a good crystal in the dark prison usually cost several people dead or injured. Everyone could understand Nashan’s reaction. Li Qiang looked at the dozens of crystals on the table and was very moved. He knew that Nashan was the real one. Because of his trust, he might have found all the crystals here. He asked Tange: "Are there any crystals here that can be exchanged for money?"
Tange exclaimed: "Old Na, I didn't know you had hidden so many treasures. Haha, it should be exchangeable for a lot of money." Nashan said generously: "You are the quartermaster, so I will keep it for you." Nashan Dun only said one sentence: "Old Nashan is not simple." He knew that when Nashan was the boss of the black prison, he had killed many people to grab the crystal stones, but now he gave them all away without hesitation, which really impressed him. .
Tange called the waiter to take out a spar and said something to him. The waiter kept shaking his head. Paben translated to Li Qiang. It turned out that the waiter did not agree to exchange the spar. The more they talked, the louder and louder Tange's voice became. A little angry, he grabbed the waiter by the collar and yelled loudly.
The hostess of the mission whispered a few words to Manager Aji. Manager Aji nodded and walked over, grabbed the waiter and handed him something similar to the Jade Eye Slip. She said something. The waiter nodded and bowed and retreated. Ge stood with a red face and looked at Li Qiang, somewhat bewildered.
Manager Aji gave a slight salute and turned back without saying a word. Li Qiang knew that this Aji had already paid the bill. They were all very unhappy, but they couldn't refuse the offer. Li Qiang sighed and stood up and faced The envoy also gave a slight salute, and the young lady nodded in return, as if they were playing a riddle.
Li Qiang said: "Let's go."
When he came to the door, Li Qiang asked: "Where can I exchange spar for money in Tange?" The lady made Li Qiang feel defeated and gained the upper hand. Li Qiang had never suffered a loss in this before. He couldn't help but feel a little angry and wanted to solve the economic problem first. He then said: "Nanatun, do you guys have any acquaintances here? I want to know what the mission of this Ladu country is and what country it is from." what."
Paben suddenly interjected: "I know where to change money." Li Qiang suddenly realized that Paben was a businessman. He always used him as a translator and said with a smile: "Okay Paben, please take us there. Nana Dun and Kankanchi." Go find out the information and arrange a meeting place. The others will follow Paben to solve the big problem of money."
Paben and Tange discussed it and led everyone into a small street.
It turns out that crystal gems in Bangqining must be traded in a trading firm established by the state. If a private transaction is discovered, not only will the crystal be confiscated, but also a large fine will be imposed. However, the purchasing price of the trading firms is extremely low, so there is a black market in various cities. It is a hugely profitable business, and what is also hugely profitable are weapons, protective gear, and rare treasures from the Western Continent.
Paben reminded everyone: "When we arrive at the underground trading place later, everyone must be careful. He is a gangster who will kill people wherever he moves. Don't cause trouble." Although he is timid, his body has already taken a pill refined by Li Qiang. He is very strong but his timid character is deeply ingrained.
Walking into an inconspicuous little house, Paben made three hand gestures and said three words quickly. The small room slid open silently against the wall facing the door. There was a red light curtain behind the wall. Li Qiang knew it at the first glance. Someone asked a question inside the defensive wall, and Paben answered carefully. After a while, the light curtain suddenly disappeared, revealing a dozen heavily armed men with spine spears pointing at them.
A man from the green tribe came out. Tange was stunned for a moment and stepped forward to hug him excitedly. He screamed and jumped and looked very happy. The two of them kept talking and Tange shed tears. All the big men lowered their spines. The gun retreated.
Tange pulled the man to Li Qiang and said: "Boss, he is my brother Tanda. I finally met my relatives. Brother, this is my savior Li Qiang."
Tanda stepped forward and touched his forehead as he saluted and thanked him: "You are from the Western Continent. Hello, Tange is my only relative. I cannot thank you enough. If anything happens, Tanda will do his best."
