Vol 4 Chapter 29: Leaving Lanyue City

Xu Jingming opened his eyes and saw a simple room with a one-eyed man sleeping soundly on the bed.

"This is the house I rented!" Xu Jingming was shocked. At this moment, his body was covered with light and shadow. When any player was online, there would be light and shadow. At this moment, the original residents could not see the player.

After the light and shadow dissipate, the original inhabitants can only see the player.

After going online for three seconds, the light and shadow dissipated. Xu Jingming turned his hand and held a flying knife in his left hand, and placed it on the neck of the one-eyed man.

"Bang." He gave the one-eyed man a slap.

The one-eyed man who was sleeping was woken up by a slap! Also a little confused.

what happened? where am I? Is it day or night now?

The one-eyed man woke up and saw Xu Jingming in front of him and the cold flying knife in his neck!

"Forgive your life, you can say whatever you want," the one-eyed man said immediately.

"Why are you at my house?" Xu Jingming said.

"I, I saw that no one came in or out of this house for several days, so I came in and took a look." The one-eyed man flattered, "I don't have a place to live, so I will sleep here temporarily at night, and ask the hero to spare me."

"Did you take my money?" Xu Jingming stared at him...

"No, I didn't find it." The one-eyed man heard a move in his heart. Is there any money hidden in this old house?

Only then did Xu Jingming accept the flying knife: "Go away!"

Only then did the one-eyed man sit up with a smile: "I'm going, I'm going." At the same time as he sat up, he suddenly waved his hand from the bed, and a cold light passed over Xu Jingming. But when he swung it out, his eyes widened, and there was already a blood hole in his throat! He didn't even see Xu Jingming make a move.

"A rogue who dares to make moves against me." Xu Jingming shook his head. In his eyes, ordinary rogues were indeed crawling in slow motion like a snail. After killing the Poppy, Xu Jingming inspected the Poppy's body and walked out of the house immediately.

It is night time now, and the waning moon hangs high in the night sky.

Xu Jingming walked to the small courtyard, where firewood was stacked, and the pile of wood was quite heavy. Xu Jingming gently lifted it from the bottom with one hand, which required a thousand jins of strength, and at a glance, he saw a package pressed under the pile of wood.

"The silver is still there." Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

"The rules of this world of blood rain are also harsh. Players disappear after going offline, and they can carry other items on their bodies, except for gold and silver." Xu Jingming sighed that gold and silver in the world of blood rain are extremely valuable.

Therefore, silver notes, gold and silver and other items cannot be carried offline.

If you want to go offline, you have to hide the banknotes and other items! Under the careless, it is very possible to be stolen.

"For this little money, there is no need to turn on the 'smart on-hook' function." Xu Jingming secretly said.

Smart on-hook means that the physical body still stays in the world of blood rain, and is manipulated by "intelligence"! In terms of rational logic, intelligence is not inferior to players. But in terms of combat, intelligence is much weaker, and the routine is fixed! And play at most the strength of third-rate masters.

In some special situations, such as having to be online for a long time, but in reality there is something to be dealt with, you need to 'smart on-hook'.

The smart on-hook service is charged, with an annual fee of 100,000 Universe Coins.

Really expensive!

Xu Jingming returned to the house, circled the skinned corpse, carried the corpse with one hand, and left in the dark. The place he rented was an ordinary old dwelling, and the surrounding security was very poor. He directly threw the corpse into the ruins a mile away.

...

Early in the morning, Xu Jingming had breakfast at a street-side shop.

Many poor people who come and go are quite jealous when they look at the steaming shops, but they are all rich people who are willing to eat in restaurants, restaurants and other places early! A big meat bun needs a knife coin, and you can buy one or two catties of rice. It is much more cost-effective to eat at home.

"Lanyue City is also a big city. People's livelihood is still so difficult. The government and gangs oppress the common people." Xu Jingming secretly sighed that the current era of the blood rain world is a period of imperial decline and chaos in the world.

The city is already in good order, but the real lawlessness is outside the city, where bandits are rampant, and human life is as cheap as grass.

"It's almost time, it's time to go to Fei's house." Xu Jingming lined up five knives on the table, then got up and left. A little Er immediately put away the knives and coins and started to clean up the table.

After a while.

In front of the Fei family's mansion, Xu Jingming came with a gun holster on his back, and a servant led him: "Guard Jing, the lady has already told us to wait here. Please guard Jing in the front hall to rest first, and the young lady will come to see you later."

Xu Jingming nodded, and then came to the front hall.

In the front hall, a tall man was sitting there, enjoying a drink of tea leisurely. When he found that Xu Jingming had been brought in, the tall man immediately got up happily, smiled and said enthusiastically, "It's down to Luo Baichuan."

"Jing Ming." Xu Jingming also cupped his hands.

"Brother Jingming was also invited to be the guard?" Luo Baichuan laughed, he also noticed the gun holster Xu Jingming was carrying.

"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded.

Luo Baichuan said enthusiastically: "Brother Jingming, sit down quickly, we can work together in the future, I was in the Black Axe Gang before..." Luo Baichuan likes to make friends, and he kept talking while holding Xu Jingming, and quickly put all his life on the line. said it.

Xu Jingming also simply chatted with him, of course Luo Baichuan said ten sentences, the kind he said one sentence.

After chatting for half an hour.

Finally, two women walked in, one was still a young girl, the other was a stern and unsmiling woman.

"Hello Big Brother Luo, Big Brother Jing!" The girl walked in and saw Xu Jingming and Luo Baichuan with a bright smile, "Let me introduce to you, the one next to me is the senior sister 'Qiu Tong' of our Feijian Museum. . This time I go to the imperial capital, I will trouble the three!"

"I'll do my best." Luo Baichuan said immediately, and Xu Jingming and Qiu Tong also handed over to answer.

"This trip to the Imperial Capital is a long, hard and dangerous journey. So our Fei family is very careful in choosing the guards. The three I specially invited, and the other guards were chosen by my father." The girl Fei Xinlan sat down and said, not at all hide.

The three of Xu Jingming chatted with the eldest young lady, and soon, the housekeeper Zhang Bo came.

"Three." The housekeeper Zhang Bo said, "I need to check the identity badge on the way to the imperial capital! Especially in the imperial capital, the identity check is strict. The three...are they all registered with household registration? If not, I will take you there now. The government, first register the household registration and get the identity badge."

"I have registered." Qiu Tong said softly.

"I also registered half a year ago." Luo Baichuan smiled. "Without an identity badge, I can't go to the bank to save money, so I have to register."

Xu Jingming got up: "I didn't register."

"Guard Jing, please come with me quickly." Butler Zhang Bo said, "I'll take you there, and you can register in the morning."

Xu Jingming nodded.

The identity badge is equivalent to the ID card on the Blue Star! In the most stable period of imperial rule in the blood rain world, every common person had to register to receive an identity badge. Without an identity badge, they could not go to other places.

Of course, the management is loose in various places, and in many places, the government's control is very weak. Few of the ordinary people outside the city have registered at all, even if most of the civilians in the city have not registered their household registration.

...

on the street.

The housekeeper Zhang Bo, Xu Jingming and two servants walked together.

"Guard Jing, I heard that when you fought with Hua Yue to help Elder Feng, you blocked him a lot?" Zhang Bo asked with a smile.

"I'm still at a disadvantage." Xu Jingming said.

"It seems that you are also approaching the realm of a first-class master." Zhang Bo smiled, "Master knows about you, and specially ordered to increase your employment fee to 100 taels per month."

Xu Jingming was quite grateful: "Master Xie Fei, butler Xie Zhang."

Although he has reached the first-class level now, when he played against Elder Feng of Huayue Gang, he was indeed a lot inferior! According to the record at that time, the Fei family raised the fee so much... It is indeed a very conscientious owner.

Xu Jingming himself can't say, I have reached the first-class state.

Because in the blood rain world, the 'first-class realm' is very vague! After all, the original residents don't have panels, so they can't see their actual combat bonuses! They are all based on actual combat to determine the approximate level to which they belong.

If Xu Jingming wants to prove that he is a first-class master, he also needs to rely on actual combat proof!

******

Because the Fei family's housekeeper 'Zhang Bo' came forward, the government's yamen was also very fast, and quickly registered Xu Jingming's household registration, and the government also kept a bottom book. And the waist card was carved with precious 'black jade'.

There are also different materials for waist cards. The common ones are wood and bamboo, the better ones are stone, the better ones are metal, and the higher ones are some precious things.

Black jade is a kind of jade.

On this waist card, Xu Jingming's appearance was drawn in a few strokes. At least the approximate face shape and facial features can be determined.

It is also recorded that Xu Jingming's hometown is 'a hundred miles east of Lanyue City, Shizipo Village'.

Also recorded the age, the waist card burning time.

"Identity waist card." Xu Jingming held this black jade waist card, secretly sighing, the record is quite detailed, even if it is inserted into the belt, it can be carried with you.

...

In the next few days, after receiving the first month's wages, Xu Jingming also went to the official bank to save money! A total of 'one hundred and fifty taels' of silver existed. Because of the official bank note, the minimum amount is also '50 taels'! And there is a fee for depositing money!

No way, Xu Jingming couldn't rush to the imperial capital with more than ten catties of silver on his back. It was much more convenient to save in silver notes, and he was not afraid of looting!

"As soon as I go this time, I don't know when I will come back." Master Fei looked at his old house with mixed feelings.

Fei Xinlan was also very reluctant.

She has grown up here since she was a child, and she has feelings for every plant and tree.

"Old Zhang, this old home of the Fei family will be taken care of by you in the future." Master Fei said.

"Yes, sir." An old man answered the order, and there were servants beside him. The Fei family still keeps some servants and maintains the entire old house for a long time. Of course, most of the other businesses have already sold out.

"Let's go."

Master Fei and Fei Xinlan got into the relatively simple-looking carriage, and two maids entered the carriage to serve.

"It's a big deal. The horses of the guards are quite majestic and handsome, and they are all good horses." Xu Jingming rode a steed. After all, in the past month or so, in addition to trying to escape from the dark abyss, I also experienced a lot of virtual worlds, but all of them were just a few tastes.

Riding a horse, fighting in the army, fighting in the arena... He has tried a lot, and after reaching the cell-level control, it is also very easy to ride a horse.

The horse team quickly left the North Gate.

"Lanyuecheng, I'm leaving." Xu Jingming, Luo Baichuan, Qiu Tong and many other guards looked at him with reluctance. Many of them have left their hometowns. Once they go to the imperial capital, it is very difficult to return in this life.

But for the future, for a brighter future, they are all willing to go to the imperial capital.

"Lanyue City is the first city I came to the Blood Rain World, and it is also my nominally my hometown in the Blood Rain World." Xu Jingming was also a little emotional.

"drive!"

Riding a horse and following the convoy, Xu Jingming stopped looking back and headed north all the way.

...

After exiting the North City Gate, the convoy proceeded along the official road.

The horses are handsome, and the carriages are also luxury goods created by top craftsmen. Sitting in the car, after buffering, the vibration of the car was completely within the tolerance range, Fei Xinlan also opened the curtains and looked outside curiously.

"I heard that the outside of the city is very chaotic." Fei Xinlan whispered. She grew up so big, and at most, she walked around the city gate for a while, and never went further.

"There are officials, blood and rain guards, many families, and gangs in the city, all of whom hope that the city will be stable." Master Fei said with a smile, "But the outside of the city is different. It's really cheap.

Fei Xinlan nodded slightly.

"That's why people outside the city want to settle in the city." Master Fei also looked out the window, "We have to rush to the imperial capital. The journey is long, and this journey is not easy."

Fei Xinlan was curious, wasn't it easy?

As the eldest lady who has never left for a long time, she only feels that everything outside is so fresh.

Departure in the morning and stop at noon in the open area of ​​the road to eat the food that was carried.

"One morning, I drove more than 200 miles without encountering any robbers. Isn't that saying that there are too many robbers in the city?" Fei Xinlan muttered while sitting on the grass, eating delicate pastries.

Qiu Tong, who was sitting on the side, said indifferently: "Junior sister, the horses that the Fei family bought are all high-quality horses, such a horse team... When the bandits look from a distance, they know that it is not easy to mess with! Because the weaker forces , I can't bear to buy so many good horses, and I don't dare to be so ostentatious! Ordinary bandits don't dare to come and die."

"A good horse?" Fei Xinlan shook her head, "I heard that there are some famous horses in the world that can travel thousands of miles a day. My horses are nothing."

"You said that one travels thousands of miles a day, but you can't find a single one in Lanyue City! One is worth ten thousand taels of silver." Qiu Tong said, suddenly she saw a group of people emerging from the woods in the distance Come, Qiu Tong smiled, "Junior sister, didn't you say there are no bandits, bandits are coming!"

Xu Jingming, Luo Baichuan and other guards all looked into the distance.

"Robbers?" Master Fei was very calm. When he was working alone in the family business, he had experienced strong winds and waves long ago.

There are hundreds of people in the distance, holding bows and arrows and other objects, headed by a man in red dressed quite enchantingly.

The man in red said, and his voice resounded loudly: "It's a good team, these horses are all good horses. I don't know if the master of the horse team, do you have pity on me? Give some silver taels, hundreds of our brothers have already I haven't been full for days."

"I'll give you ten taels of silver, and get out of here quickly." The housekeeper Zhang Bo shouted.

"Ten taels of silver?" The red-clothed man laughed dumbly, "Is the master of the horse team joking? At least three hundred taels of silver! This is the least. This silver must be for the master of the horse team..."

"Jing Huwei, Luo Huwei, Qiu Huwei, Fan Huwei, Yu Huwei, the five of you, kill them." The housekeeper Zhang Bo then ordered.

After Xu Jingming heard it, he instantly pulled out the two spears behind his back, and it was stuck in one turn.

Luo Baichuan also took out two hand axes from behind him.

Qiu Tong drew his sword instantly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Among the guards, five figures rushed out at the same time, like five arrows going straight to the bandit group.

"The inflow master." The man in red shrank his pupils when he saw this, and from the speed of running, he could confirm that all of them were in the inflow level.

"Release the arrow." The man in red ordered.

Immediately fifty bandits were shooting arrows at the same time! There were also other bandits with throwing weapons. To be able to form such a large-scale bandit gang, and to survive to this day, is naturally quite powerful.

Under the arrows and throwing weapons, five figures rushed into the bandit gang, the bandits fell like grass for a while, and many bandits were thrown up, flying seven or eight meters high.

"What?" Seeing this scene, the man in red was stunned. "These five people are all at least second-rate experts."

As the leader of the bandits, he is a second-rate master, and he believes that with the cooperation of his gang, he is enough to threaten some third-rate masters. But 'second-rate masters' are much stronger than third-rate masters in terms of environmental control and actual combat.

"Send five people casually, is that so powerful?" The man in red shouted loudly, "Withdraw!"

He turned into a red streamer and escaped the fastest! Hundreds of robbers fled in panic, scattered and fled away.

The five guards stopped and started to return.

"How about these five new recruits?" Master Fei looked at him from a distance and laughed softly.

The silver-haired old man beside him looked at him and nodded slightly: "The other four are considered second-rate masters, but Jing Guard's marksmanship is quite extraordinary. The invisible spear shrouds all directions, making the enemy terrified, and he seems to have reached the first-rate level."

"First-class realm?" Master Fei's eyes lit up.

"I can feel that sense of oppression." The silver-haired old man nodded, "Master Fei has hired a good helper this time."

Master Fei laughed and was in a good mood.

The first-class masters around him are all blood rain guards sent by his son. The other guards are all second-rate, and now it seems that there is one more first-rate expert.

First-class masters are rare in the blood rain world. If you are willing to join the gang, they are all elders of the Huayue Gang and people like Keqing. It's easy to get rich! There are very few people who are willing to be guards.

Generally, it has to be a wealthy family~www.readwn.com~ or a real eminent person to be able to make some first-class masters. For example, the eldest son of the Fei family.

"Anyway, with one more first-class expert, the journey will be smoother," said the silver-haired old man.

Master Fei nodded slightly: "I feel more at ease as the guard is by my daughter's side. Remember, this trip, my daughter Xinlan's safety is the first, and I am an old man with one foot in the coffin. It's all about my daughter's safety."

"Don't worry, my lord." The silver-haired old man nodded, "The three masters were originally arranged by the lady's side, but now there are more guards."

Master Fei nodded.

In fact, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to follow his son's instructions to go to the imperial capital!

After all, the journey is long, and even if the guards are very strong, he is worried that something will go wrong on the way. He is an old guy who will die when he dies, but his daughter is still young.

...

After defeating this bandit, the Fei family's motorcade quickly embarked on a journey again, heading north all the way to the imperial capital.
