Chapter 994 Sad Happy Night
The settlement of the Juli Tribe.
When the Juli tribe looked at so many people surrounding their house with a confused face, they immediately shouted strangely and asked people to cook. Then, following the gaze of the other Juli tribe members, they saw the small girl Ji Xiaoyan standing at the feet of several Juli tribe members.
"Vice City Lord?" The leader of the Juli clan blinked in disbelief. After looking at it twice more, he took a step towards Ji Xiaoyan in surprise, and then said happily: " What a great deputy city lord Man! Oh, you have finally appeared! If you don’t show up, there will be no way to live in Qingcheng."
"Hmm? this day Why can't you survive?" When Lin Qianye heard the words of the Juli Clan leader, she immediately frowned in displeasure, gathered a group of black things at her feet, and looked at the Juli Clan with a threatening tone. The patriarch asked: "So Said, the life of the patriarch has not been comfortable enough during this time. Do you want to be more comfortable? I have time, or else, let me take the trouble to make the patriarch's life more comfortable? "
"No, no, no, no need! Master Qianye, you are joking. Oh, I made a mistake. I said the wrong thing!" The tall body of the Juli Clan leader showed some control after Lin Qianye's words fell. He kept shaking, and then he quickly said with a flattering smile. Said: "Lord Qianye, please don't misunderstand me! I said it wrong. What I mean is that the deputy city mainly doesn't show up again. I don't know what kind of chaos this Qingcheng will be. It's just that everyone's life will be difficult. It will definitely not happen." We must blame Lord Qianye for holding us back There is absolutely nothing about the Juli Clan digging tunnels!”
Ji Xiaoyan watched with some amusement as the leader of the Juli Clan became darker and darker. Lin Qianye’s face became increasingly grim. After thinking about it for two seconds, Then he said aloud: "Well...we stand It's not a problem here, right? Why don't you go into the house and tell me?" To be honest, she was curious about what the tunnel under the house of the Juli Clan leader was like, and the NPC Lin Qianye was not Are you saying that Xiye is still behind? Why is it that Xiye hasn’t seen the shadow even though the chiefs of the Juli clan have appeared? Wouldn't he really be taken care of by that NPC Lin Qianye?
"Yes, yes, yes! The deputy city lord is right, let's go in and talk, go in and talk!" The patriarch of the Juli clan couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and sneered. He said to the NPC Lin Qianye. After watching the black thing at his feet slowly disappear, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Ji Xiaoyan gratefully and invited them into the stone room. .
The situation in the room is similar to what Ji Xiaoyan guessed! Although the house of the leader of the Juli tribe is much larger than the house of an ordinary Juli tribe NPC, it can’t compare with the amount of valuable things in the house of an NPC like the Juli tribe! Even many tables, chairs and benches that seemed to be of good workmanship were piled haphazardly in the clan leader's house. The rest were probably large boxes packed away from every Juli clan family, piled one on top of the other. The room was stuffed to the brim. On the floor in the middle of the room is a black hole that can only be used by an NPC from the Juli tribe to enter.
"The deputy city master is interested in this?" The leader of the Juli tribe was worried that he could not find a topic. , seeing that Ji Xiaoyan's eyes were always on the entrance of the cave, he quickly asked with a smile, preparing to organize a few words to introduce it.
Who knows, as soon as he finished speaking, the old man Qingya who followed him into the room immediately spoke: "Who cares about you guys! Patriarch, we are here to talk to you about something? We have time now, right? If we have time, we will settle the matter quickly and go to the city lord’s mansion to open the treasure house!”
The leader of the Juli tribe choked, took a deep breath, and took a sneak peek! Lin Qianye glanced at that NPC and saw His mood seemed to be okay, and he nodded to the old man Qingya, "Elder, just tell me if you have something to say!"
Old man Qingya didn't care whether the leader of the Juli clan in front of him was giving him face. It is better to give face to Lin Qianye or Ji Xiaoyan. He only knows that the attitude of the Juli tribe is pretty good now, and things should be easier to talk about. If he doesn't talk about it now, if he has something to say, these NPCs of the Juli tribe may not be able to talk about it. How can a lion open his mouth so loudly? Therefore, old man Qingmi thought for a second, and directly told the patriarch of the Juli clan what he and Ji Xiaoyan had discussed, and then looked at him and asked: "Do you understand this, clan leader? Speaking of Qingcheng, you have also lived here for such a long time. It’s time. If we really let you leave here, life will be very difficult in the future. There are so many clan members, and the clan leader can’t let them all suffer. The deputy city lords are all familiar to you, and I don’t need Qingya to tell you. You too I know that if you stay, the deputy city lord will definitely not treat you like that girl Qingwan when he becomes the city lord of Qing City. The life of your Juli tribe will get better and better in the future. However, it will be the same as before. , each of you I just have a responsibility on my shoulders!"
"I need to think about this!" The leader of the Juli clan was not stupid. After hearing what the old man Qingmi said, he did not agree immediately. It was said very tactfully.
"Clan leader, you have to think carefully. If we don't get the confidence of your Juli clan, we won't dare to open the treasure house of Qing City. You also know that according to our guess, the girl who owns Qingwan City The town stone is locked in the treasure house. As long as we open the treasure house, we must immediately Get the town stone now! By then, this Qing city will really change its owner. The Lord God will give it a test. If you, the Juli clan, don't give you a clear answer, we can't afford the loss. "Old man Qingmi said to the leader of the Juli clan with a hint of threat in his tone: "We also know that it is a bit difficult to ask the patriarch to reply now, but there is nothing we can do about it. Although the girl Qingwan and the mage named Lockerbie are both locked up in the dungeon, they are both so in Qingcheng. With years of power, no one can be sure when they will You can escape, right? To put it bluntly, those guys in Sha City, are there any good ways to suppress those two? We don’t know the city. The longer we delay, the greater the danger. Chief, you don’t want us to struggle for so long. , Qingcheng will fall into the hands of those two in the end, right?”
When the leader of the Juli Clan heard what Old Man Qingmi said, his brows immediately furrowed even more tightly. It is undeniable that what old man Qingya told is the truth. However, the chief of the Juli clan glanced at Ji Xiaoyan who was standing not far away from him, and still couldn't make up his mind and said to the old man Qingmi: "What the elder said is just that the deputy city lord of this evil city is still standing. Here." He didn't believe that the deputy city lord of Sha City in front of him could throw out the fat in his mouth. With her here, how could those in Sha City not throw the two people in the Qingcheng dungeon away? Is the city lord keeping a close eye on you?
After hearing this, old man Qingmi glanced at Ji Xiaoyan and sighed in his heart. Hey, probably only a few of them know that Miss Ji Xiaoyan, the deputy city lord of Sha City, only has one name! However, this is not the right time to tell people like the Juli tribe about this kind of thing. Otherwise, they would definitely not even think about it and would not agree to help defend the city in the future. You know, as long as the Juli clan agrees, they will be equivalent to Miss Ji Xiaoyan's personal guard army in the future. This is different from the nature of the guards that the Lord God will bestow in the future
Thinking of this, Old man Qingmi immediately spoke to the patriarch of the Juli clan: "The patriarch probably doesn't know the true identity of our deputy city lord!"
Ji Xiaoyan glanced at old man Qingmi strangely, thinking Dao: What other identity do I have?
Sure enough, when the Juli clan leader heard what Old Man Qingmi said, he immediately looked at Ji Xiaoyan strangely, then looked back at Old Man Qingmi and asked him: "I don't know, Mr. Deputy City Lord What other identity? ”
"Don't the patriarch know that the deputy city leader is actually only half of our aboriginal identity? She is also half an adventurer!" Old man Qingya said with a straight face and an evil smile on his lips, facing the giant The leader of the Li clan continued: "I guess the leader also knows how many adventurers there are. As long as the deputy city lord is willing, he can recruit as many adventurers as he wants to defend the city. However, we considered that the Juli clan has been living in Qing City for so many years. If they leave rashly, it will definitely be very sad in the future, so we first thought of you and temporarily rejected the idea of adventurers defending the city! If the clan leader really doesn’t want to stay and just wants to take your clan’s sacred weapon and leave Qingcheng, then just tell him immediately, we are not here either. I have been here for a long time, so I have to go out and seize the time to recruit more adventurers."
The chief of the Juli tribe looked at Ji Xiaoyan carefully for a while with some surprise, then he didn't know what he thought of, and hung up With a smile on his face, he said to the old man Qingmi: "Elder, in fact, there is no need to be so anxious about this matter, right? Look, it's getting late now, how about we go back tomorrow? Discuss?”
“We don’t have that much time to wait!” When the old man Qingmi heard the words of the Juli clan leader, he knew that he wanted to delay, and immediately waved his hand and said, “It’s best to do things in the dark. ! We originally planned to open the treasure house at night! If you don't want to, forget it, we will leave immediately!" After saying that, old man Qingmi immediately winked at Ji Xiaoyan.
The longer he delays, the greater the chance that the two bastards Guitu and Shenzhu will find something wrong. He doesn't want to see those two bastards coming to grab things in front of Qingcheng's treasure house again. Today, he left the city lord's mansion early. Gui Tu and Shen Mandrill didn't respond with suspicion, so they thought he was tired of scolding and wanted to take a rest. But if he doesn't show up outside the city lord's mansion tomorrow, those two bastards will definitely guess something. By then, people all over the city may be able to guess where he went!
If the Juli clan really didn't want to stay and garrison Qingcheng in the future, he would have no choice but to drag Ji Xiaoyan to find the adventurers overnight to discuss this matter.
Old man Qingya couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Now he just hopes that the matter will not be so complicated
Lin Qianye, who has been silent at the side, finally heard the whole story and thought about it completely. Seeing that the old man Qingmi and the chief of the Juli clan were silent, he finally said: "Speaking of which, the deputy city lord of Sha City is also my close disciple. If you are the clan leader and you are unwilling to do this favor to my disciple, don't blame me. When will I remember in the future, I will give the disciples of the Juli Clan some tests or something to help them become talented?" Lin Qianye said with that sinister smile on her face, looking at the Juli Clan's The patriarch couldn't help but shudder!
Aren’t you just going to stay in Qingcheng? Before agreeing to dig the tunnel, they had already discussed it and were still willing to stay here in the future. What a great place Qingcheng is, with food, drink, and housing. If the Juli tribe left here and went to the barren mountains and old forests to reopen a settlement, not to mention how much time and energy would be wasted. It’s definitely not as cool as Qingcheng! There will be many adventurers in Qingcheng in the future. They can trick many adventurers into hunting monsters outside the city for food by just taking some small things as rewards. It will be as much as they want. If they leave Qingcheng , I have to be self-sufficient in the future. If I’m not careful, I’ll still go hungry. It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it’s hard to go from luxury to frugality! !
Reluctant to agree to stay for a long time, the leader of the Juli Clan is still thinking about making his appearance high so that he can gain more benefits, isn't he? However, now that Old Man Qingya and Lin Qianye have spoken, if he still doesn't agree, he won't have a chance if he doesn't necessarily turn back! By then, there won’t even be a chance to cry! Old man Qingya is right. There are many adventurers in Qing City. Although their strength is not too high, they cannot resist their numerical advantage.
The expression on the face of the leader of the Juli clan His expression changed several times, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the deputy city lord guarantees, we will definitely let us The Juli tribe is living a comfortable life, so we agreed to stay and defend the city for the Vice City Lord! "That's for sure!" Old man Qingmi suddenly smiled when he heard the words of the Juli tribe leader. He responded immediately, then turned to Ji Xiaoyan and asked, "Really, girl?"
"Yeah, um, sure!" Ji Xiaoyan quickly nodded in agreement.
So, after the matter was discussed, everyone had different expressions, but nothing unpleasant happened. After discussing directly how to get to the treasure house for a while, Ji Xiaoyan felt a little strange. He looked at Lin Qianye's NPC and asked in a low voice: "Master, didn't you say that Xiye is behind you? The patriarch of the Juli clan has been out for a while, why haven't I seen Xiye yet? What? ”
< br>"A pet that is stupid and not very powerful, why do you care so much?" Lin Qianye glanced at Ji Xiaoyan with disdain, then curled her lips and said when she saw the flattering smile on her face: "I guess it's stuck down there Stop it! Zhen Mo, go down and take a look at Xiye’s guy. If it’s stuck, pull it up.”
“Oh, okay!” Zhen Mo nodded obediently. That's where the dark hole fell.
Ji Xiaoyan felt a little strange when he heard this, and began to guess what the following situation would be like. You know, with a size as small as Xiye, can it get stuck anywhere? Unless the channels below are dug into a small honeycomb shape! But after thinking about the words of the Juli Clan NPCs, Ji Xiaoyan felt something was wrong again. The Juli Clan NPCs all said that the passage below must be dug quite large, so that they can move in and out at ordinary times!
Confused, Ji Xiaoyan scratched his head in distress, and finally turned his attention to the entrance of the cave, waiting for the truth to appear.
Zhen Mo was very fast and did not let Ji Xiaoyan wait long before he floated up from the hole, grinned, and said something to Lin Qianye and Ji Xiaoyan : "Xiye is really stuck in there. If I don't help, he probably won't know how long he will be stuck in there! That guy Xiye, the longer he is, the better he will be. You're getting stupider." After saying that, Yu Mo fell directly next to Ji Xiaoyan, then looked at the dark hole, and then said: "Xiaoyan, let's go outside the house. There will be movement in Xiye later. But the patriarch’s house is too big for us to stand in!”
“What do you mean?” Ji Xiaoyan looked confused! Xiye is as big as a big dog. Isn't such a big space enough for it to stand? Although he was very confused, when he saw Lin Qianye and the others rushing out of the house, Ji Xiaoyan still followed everyone out. After standing still, he heard some movement from the house.
Two seconds later, I heard Xiye's somewhat shaky voice: "Assholes, you bastards, you left me in there again. Come on, do me a favor, I'm stuck. The neck is stained with ink, stained with ink."
"Zhen Mo, aren't you going to help?" Ji Xiaoyan couldn't see clearly what was going on in the room. Hearing Xi Ye's voice, he just turned his head to look at Yu Mo and asked, and then heard Lin Qianye saying lightly next to him. : "Why are you helping me? That guy Xiye is just too lazy. He can obviously figure it out on his own." , I just want someone to help me and save myself some trouble! If it doesn’t find a way out on its own, just let it get stuck there. After eating, we’ll go to the treasure house of the City Lord’s Mansion.”
Li Xiye's movement disappeared for a few seconds. After Lin Qianye finished speaking, Ji Xiaoye Only then did Yan hear Xiye's surprised and excited voice, and howled loudly: "Master. Master Xiaoyan, are you back? Are you back? You finally came back to me, Master, come and save me! They You're all torturing me. If you don't come to save me, I'm going to die here, Master, Master. I want to go to the treasure house, too!"
Ji Xiaoyan blinked, and after hearing Xiye's words, he looked at Ximo curiously and asked, "What happened to Xiye during this time? "She was so obedient that she knew how to call her master. If there was nothing in between, she wouldn't believe it.
Zhen Mo grinned, and then explained to Ji Xiaoyan: "It's Master Qianye! After you left, Xiaoyan, Xiye wanted to find a place to escape by himself, so as not to be attacked by Master Qianye It would be hard to have a hard time if he was caught, but it was too obvious and offended Lord Qianye, so Qianye. Master Ye immediately grabbed Xiye and took us to the Juli tribe. Later, wasn't it because of the need to dig a tunnel? It was something like that, and wanted Lord Qianye not to arrange things for it, but Lord Qianye directly He made Xiye grow bigger, and then tied the man named Aimoke to Xiye's back, and asked Xiye to help Master Qianye watch over the person while digging soil in the ground. Only by using mana can you dig faster and better. Xiye is not willing to obey, so he saves his mana every day and only digs once. Keep some distance, and then it’s time to fight Master Qianye. Xiye loses every time, but he doesn’t learn the lesson at all. He insists on deliberately not using magic power every time, so that Master Qianye can get it out.”
"Ah!?" Ji Xiaoyan blinked, unable to imagine how big Xiye had been changed.
"Master. Master, help me!" Xiye's voice was still roaring in the room.
"I'll give you one minute. If you don't want to come out, I will let you live underground forever." Lin Qianye glanced at the stone house with a cold expression, said lightly, and then He turned directly and walked into the other stone houses.
A moment later, Ji Xiaoyan saw a huge black head emerging from the door of the stone house, "Master. They all bullied me!!"
"Happy Night!! !" Ji Xiaoyan rubbed his eyes vigorously, unable to believe that such a big head belongs to Xiye, "How come you have become so big?" This size is simply ridiculous. When she and old man Qingya first met Xiye, it was even bigger.
"Ugh. Didn't Master Lin Qianye say that it's big and easy to dig?" Xiye said a little aggrievedly. He said something to Ji Xiaoyan, and then created a black vortex on the ground. He disappeared from the door of the stone house, then emerged from the vortex and stood in front of Ji Xiaoyan and the others.
Ji Xiaoyan simply didn't know what to say. The small Xiye is still very cute, but the enlarged version of Xiye is not so cute. The huge body is much taller than the NPCs of the Juli tribe. No wonder the NPC Lin Qianye asked Xiye to dig a tunnel. As long as Xiye can get through, the NPCs of the Juli tribe will There must be no problem.
“Master, they are so bad. They only make me do things and never give me enough to eat. Digging requires me to use my magic power to dig. I can't even move, I can't even eat enough, and they squeeze me hard." Xiye hugged her paws with an aggrieved look, put her head on the ground, and complained to Ji Xiaoyan, "I'm so tired that I can't move every day. No, Master Qianye and others said that I didn’t work fast enough or well enough, Master, so I don’t want to dig the soil anymore.”
