Chapter 0225 Plot
Qin Fan had already left all the matters about establishing the city of chaos to Xia Jinyu and Luo Xinghun to deal with.
So when he saw the black and red mist filling the four directions gathered into the Wuli Ghost River, he was also surprised.
But when facing the puzzled and confused gaze of everyone, he just smiled indifferently, without any intention of explanation.
However, he has more patience toward China.
"Don't you understand?"
Hua Buqun shook his head foolishly. In his eyes, the dark river in front of him seemed to be floating endless ghosts, and it seemed to be a paradise for the dead.
Or it is more appropriate to use another word to describe it - hell!
"I need your help, and this is also related to the proposal I just mentioned."
Qin Fan's eyes, which were clearly black and white, seemed to turn into a vortex of chaos. When Hua Buqun looked at him, he felt his brain swaying inexplicably, and a confusion filled his eyes, but he soon returned to the clarity.
The smile on Qin Fan's face was a little more interesting, because after tearing off the illusion of the other party's gentleman, the part of the reality I saw was very interesting.
Hua Buqun, who has been a gentleman for one day, a gentleman for ten days, and a gentleman for a hundred days, has always adhered to the way of a gentleman and worked hard to play this important identity, has become a qualified gentleman's sword.
There are greed, vanity, entanglement, and fear of death in human nature. Perhaps at a certain opportunity, especially when Hua Buqun encounters a tiny that has to magnify the stain, he will give up this identity.
But before that, he would be more like a gentleman than ninety-nine true gentlemen in the world. More importantly, he is not old-fashioned, and he is sleek and sleek.
In short, this person can use it.
"I want to build a city there, so I need some help from warriors, and you are very suitable." Qin Fan pointed to Wuli Guihe.
Hua Buqun frowned slightly, and didn't bother to marvel at Qin Fan's thoughts. He just felt that not many people were willing to do such a hard work.
Although they are casual cultivators, they also have some pride in their hearts, especially when this pride faces civilians, it will be infinitely magnified.
"As for my proposal, the spoils distributed can be traded in gold and silver at that time, but if you agree to this job, you can change it to another settlement method."
"What?" Hua Buqun asked subconsciously.
"What do you lack the most?" Qin Fan looked at Hua Buqun with a smile.
Hua Buqun looked shocked and said, "Secret Books, weapons, pills... As long as we help in our cultivation, we are short of!"
"Then your gold and silver can be replaced by these, but the premise is that I have to build this city, and in the future, the 'our own people' in this city can trade what you mentioned."
Qin Fan replied calmly.
He knew very well how unfriendly this world is to the casual cultivators and some small forces. Not to mention anything else, it would be very troublesome to say that he wanted to buy some elixirs above the yellow level before.
Such as martial arts and weapons, they will only be circulated in small circles.
As for the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, it often raises the value of these things through auctions and then takes action, and the final purchase of them will not be a casual cultivator.
Qin Fan is not currently planning to open the door of convenience to all casual cultivators, because this is undoubtedly to make him or her opposite to all forces, but he can provide some convenience to his "his own people".
At this time, Hua Buqun also understood what Qin Fan meant. Logically speaking, in the face of such a strong man, he had no reason to refuse.
But he knew very well the thoughts of those casual cultivators who were still fighting to the last moment. They had lofty or very unrealistic ideals and ambitions.
This also means that they will never be bound by one force, and they are not talents trained by themselves. Those who join halfway through will usually be treated as cannon fodder, which is what they are worried about.
"You will not let you give up your freedom, nor will you even have any restraints on you. When this power of mine is established, you will only be members of the outer sect.
Even if you want to quit, just say it in advance. You can treat it as my thanks for you to fight to the last moment."
Qin Fan's friendly smile made Hua Buqun let go of some concerns. Perhaps as the other party said, this was just some compensation given by the owner of Qin without hurting their self-esteem.
Thinking of Hua Buqun's eyes looking at Qin Fan, there was a hint of respect from the bottom of his heart.
Because this kind of respect is more precious than those vulgar silver-white objects.
"I will tell them everything about this. No matter how they choose, I, Hua Buqun, would like to serve the owner of Qin." Hua Buqun bowed and said.
Then he thought about it and asked, "Do you have any obligations and responsibilities as an outer sect member?"
Qin Fan shook his head:
"No, we just open a taskbar specially for external members to receive. These tasks are not only fighting and killing, but mostly focus on collecting some medicinal materials and ore, or inquiring about some information in the world.
The reward is not settled in gold and silver, but is based on the contribution points of our internal circulation, but the contribution points can be exchanged for a certain amount of gold and silver."
"Can gold and silver exchange contribution points be exchanged?"
“No, and there will be no monthly limit on the number of tasks completed.
But if you fail to take the task voluntarily within half a year, it will be regarded as giving up the identity of this outer sect member, and of course there will be no other punishment."
Qin Fan's answer really surprised Hua Buqun. As the other party said, the conditions were too relaxed. I believe he would tell those casual cultivators later that at least 90% of them would rush to join.
"Is this a little bit..." Hua Buqun felt embarrassed at this moment.
Qin Fan said seriously: "Like an outer sect member, what I value most is character. In other words, for a long time, there may only be you outer sect members. You know what I mean."
Hua Buqun nodded, and a hint of gratitude appeared in his eyes.
"The rest is left to you. Look at the large caravan, too, go and count the spoils this time."
Hua Buqun looked at the place where Qin Fan looked. There was indeed a caravan coming from the bloody corpse road, so he hurriedly bowed to Qin Fan and went to deal with the related matters first.
Then Qin Fan looked at the others. Yan Kuangshan had already gone to Xuanyang Guard to verify the casualties. Except for looking at him from a distance, Mo Haolin always asked a deputy general to handle the subsequent matters.
As for Luo Xinghun's letter, it will take some time to come over. Even if players don't take the initiative to greet them, they will come over.
For a moment, Qin Fan felt a little idle, so he got into the carriage and began to practice "The Great Yin and Yang Fu of the Emperor and the Earth Queen".
......
Xuanshui City is also the closest city to the place of the decisive battle, but it is also relatively close to several other cities, so in addition to causing the celestial phenomena, the residents in the city feel a little uneasy.
Everyone knew nothing about the details of the battle.
And at this moment, it is within the Six Gate Branch in this city.
Gongsun Mei, wearing a black flying fish suit, is questioning a man with an ugly appearance but an extra strong figure.
"Liu Shi, what have you been doing recently?"
Liu Shi replied with an ugly smile:
"In order to collect information more conveniently, the subordinates transferred the six gate members who had been trained to each city and every town. It took a lot of effort to take root safely."
Gongsun Mei frowned slightly. She was a member of the Gongsun Family and the second in charge of the six gates of Xuanyang Domain. But on the one hand, her personal interests should be consistent with the Gongsun Family, and on the other hand, she reached an alliance with Xue Yan.
But the problem is that both parties have been very strange recently. Gongsun Xin directly let her go, and Xue Yan, who was originally almost inseparable from her, suddenly disappeared without a trace.
As a result, when encountering such a decisive battle, she looked at her dark eyes. After thinking about it over and over again, she felt that with her strength, she would not get involved. Before that, she still had to figure out what was going on in Xue Yan.
So she found Liu Shi, because among the six doors, Liu Shi was considered the third in charge, and the other party was also taking care of the housework on weekdays.
As a slave of the second surname, Liu Shi had done this kind of work under Yin Wumei's hands before. Logically speaking, if he had changed to a boss, Xue Yan shouldn't have given him so much trust.
Unless there is something extraordinary about Liu Shi, either Xue Yan doesn't care about these six doors at all, and it doesn't matter if the other party destroys it.
Now it seems that the former is very likely.
Then Gongsun Mei began to look at Liu Shi carefully, with her triangle eyes hanging her eyebrows upside down, and her strong muscles supported the gentle scholar's robe, which looked a bit out of character.
As a public official, he should wear a flying fish suit during working hours, but Xue Yan, who didn't know how to convince the other party, kept wearing his not very clean scholar's robe.
When Liu Shi faced the other party's scrutiny, he just squeezed out a flattering smile, but with the appearance of this elder brother, it was really a bit terrible.
Gongsun Mei frowned even more and asked, "Do you know where Lord Xue has been recently?"
Liu Shi shook his head honestly: "I don't know, the last task that Lord Xue assigned me was to establish an intelligence network belonging to the Six Gates."
"Then have you found any valuable information on this information network?"
Liu Shi's expression was a little complicated: "Because of the decisive battle, the Xuanyang Domain has been very chaotic recently. Most of the seemingly valuable information has nothing to do with the Six Gates, and they are basically aiming at...Wuyou Villa."
Speaking of these four words, Gongsun Mei subconsciously looked at her clothes and confirmed that her flying fish suit was not exposed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But just as she lowered her head, Liu Shi's eyes suddenly turned to the west of the city, and then a bang exploded, and the entire city seemed to tremble three times.
"What's going on?" Gongsun Mei looked at Liu Shi, who was also very confused.
"Sir Gongsun, will we go and have a look?"
"You're not talking nonsense!" Gongsun Mei said angrily, then rushed towards the explosion site first. Liu Shi hesitated for a while and then followed.
But when the two arrived at the location, there were no traces except for a ruin.
There was a smell of blood in the air that had not yet dissipated, but no corpse was seen.
"Who is the owner of this house?" Gongsun Mei looked at Liu Shi, and Liu Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know, this city was originally under the control of several forces, but after they were destroyed, some past records could not be found."
"Destroy? Who..."
Before he finished speaking, Gongsun Mei had already thought that it should be the previous meeting in Yangyun City. A total of eight forces were destroyed. For example, money and resources had been divided up by other forces, and information was probably difficult to retain.
"Check it out, who is living here!"
After Gongsun Mei said this, she had already left. It was like a strange thing that happened inexplicably, and she always felt that it would be a big trouble.
Liu Shi honestly searched for clues in the ruins, and asked the members of the Six Gate who followed him to ask the neighbors around him.
When he opened a few big stones, he accidentally found a silver token with several big words engraved on the token - Qiu Kaide, the seventh elder of the Casting Hall.
Liu Shi sighed, staring at the token for a few seconds, his right hand gradually exerted force, and the token began to deform until it was kneaded into an irregular silver object.
As the true energy in his palm was spitting out, the small silver pieces turned into a handful of powder and flowed out from the gaps of his fingers, and then they were gently blown by an inexplicable breeze and dissipated into the sky.
In the woods outside Xuanshui City, three great masters began to stare at each other.
"So our mission is to fail, right?" Wang Jingyu wore a bitter face.
"Not only failed, but also had a plan." Feng Mo was lifting a corpse in his right hand. This person was Qiu Kaide, the seventh elder of the Sword Cast Hall.
Facing the eyes of the two, Zhang Guchen said helplessly:
"After all, it's Sima Kongming. As the chief arrester of the Six Gates, it's normal to notice the drainage incense on his body. It's normal to guess that we will come to chase him. It's more normal to take the opportunity to counter ambush.
But I don’t understand what it means to kill Qiu Kaide?”
"Framed, blame, and kill someone with a knife." Feng Mo began to carefully examine Qiu Kaide's injuries, and killed him with the simplest palm without leaving any traces of other moves.
Zhang Guchen said with a hint of his head: "Why should we explain it clearly to Zhudaotang?"
Wang Jingyu shook his head: "That's the sword casting hall, it would be strange if he could explain it to them.
By the way, are you saying that Qiu Kaide has been hiding in this Xuanyang Domain to investigate the cause of Xiang Bohuai's death?”
"This is not important. Since Qiu Kaide is dead, Sima Kongming has ten thousand ways to show that it was done by us." Feng Mo casually stuffed the body into the space ring.
"Uh, the Casting Hall is not so easy to be led by the nose..." Zhang Guchen said with guilt. After all, this was his mistake.
"Maybe there is no one holding anyone. If an elder dies, it is a reasonable reason to start a war." Wang Jingyu said with a gloomy expression.
Feng Mo nodded in agreement.
"Let's go back and tell the Lord what's going on here."
But when he took a step, he saw the two of them turning their eyes to Xuanshui City again.
Then he frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong?"
