Chapter 1722 Let’s think about it
“Dragon Bone?” Ji Xiaoyan rolled his eyes at Gui Tu, rubbed his fingers and said casually: “What? Lord Gui Tu is also interested in Dragon Bone now?”
“If there are no other things about the dragon, the dragon bone can be regarded as a reluctant "Gui Tu looked at Ji Xiaoyan with a calm expression, and then said: "But City Master Ji must not tell us that you gave away this dragon bone that no one wants!"
< br>"Master Guitu, what you said is wrong." Ji Xiaoyan straightened his back and raised his chin slightly. He looked at Gui Tu and the mandrill seriously and said: "How can I give away this thing that no one wants? Of course, anything that can be given away is something that someone is willing to ask for! As for this dragon bone, Master Gui Tu, really I'm sorry, but there are some people who are willing to take it away. I think about what you told me back then and think about this. Since these dragon bones are of no use, just give them away if someone wants them."
"Give them away directly?" Guitu immediately changed his face and looked at Ji Xiaoyan with wide eyes in annoyance: "That's what City Lord Ji said. It’s so easy! Did you give away two pairs of keels?”
"That's right! The dragon bones aren't worth much anyway, are they?" Ji Xiaoyan said with a sneer, no longer as careful about ghost pictures and mandrills as before.
She also knew in her heart that there was going to be a confrontation anyway. The turning point was either now or someday in the future, so why should she be so careful with them anymore? As long as she is as "courteous" as a city lord, that's enough.
“It’s worthless, it’s worthless! City Lord Ji’s tone is really loud!” Shen Mandrilla was also a little angry. He stood up and faced Ji Xiaoyan and said warningly: “So, What is City Lord Ji actually? You don’t want to sell anything to us, right?”
“Master Mandrill, it’s not that I don’t want to sell it, it’s that we in Qingcheng really don’t have any.” Ji Xiaoyan said with a look of embarrassment. I spread out pictures of mandrills and ghosts He spread his hands and said helplessly: "If the two adults accuse us of Qingcheng, I, the city lord, will not accept it! If you two really need the things from the dragon, our Qingcheng will only be worth a few dollars." catty I can make the decision and give it to Sha City. Do you two need it? "How many kilograms of dragon meat? It's not enough for us. City Lord Ji, you can send it." !" Guitu said angrily.
"We only have so many things in Qingcheng. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it." Ji Xiaoyan looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He stood up and said to the two of them: "You two are coming from Qingcheng." Our city lord up to now, I Not a single guard in our city has been moved, and I have been with you all the time. Do you two still think that I sent people to hide the dragon meat and bones and other things?"
"Maybe you can't do it? Just hiding it." Shen Mandrill suddenly sneered.
"Master Mandrill, our Qingcheng will not accept unfounded accusations. If you two don't believe it and want to cause trouble in our Qingcheng, don't blame me for being rude and go directly to Sha City. The Lord of the City commented." Ji Xiaoyan looked firm and not afraid of trouble at all, "It was Lord Guitu who told me that I gave the dragon bone away. You can’t blame me.”
“Me?” Upon hearing this, Guitu saw a flash of schadenfreude in Shen Mandrill’s eyes, and shouted at Ji Xiaoyan: “Ji Xiaoyan, can you? Don't trust Ke Kaihe, you're talking nonsense!"
"Speaking nonsense? Master Guitu, didn't you tell me this?" Ji Xiaoyan raised his eyebrows with a calm expression.
"You" Guitu's eyes are about to explode.
"City Master Ji, even if the ghost picture told you that the dragon bone is worthless, who did you give the dragon bone to?" Shen Man naturally understood what was most important now, and took a step forward. It was considered that Guitu had taken away the leading right in this matter and asked directly as the leader.
“I don’t know.” Ji Xiaoyan said thoughtfully, “They all wore black robes and came with a group of adventurers. They were said to be gifts, but in fact they were used by the adventurers in slaying the dragon. In exchange for our contribution to Qingcheng.”
Ji Xiaoyan thinks that at this stage, among the aborigines who have contact with adventurers, who else likes to wear black robes besides the Fox Clan. ah? Didn't the Fox Clan and Sha City negotiate an alliance? Just right! Give their alliance a break!
Sure enough, after hearing Ji Xiaoyan’s words, Guitu and Shenzhu immediately looked at each other, pursed their lips and began to think.
Ji Xiaoyan secretly curled up his lips, and without giving them any more time to think, he said directly: "The aborigines in black robes took away the dragon bones and never heard from them again. I also realized it later. I tried to investigate, but no one knew who they were. I only heard that they seemed to come from some small towns. The teleportation array left. If the two adults are looking for it, this can be regarded as a clue."
Gui Tu and Shen Zhu looked at each other, and their attitudes were clear when they talked about these things with Ji Xiaoyan. He also relaxed a little, but still insisted on buying some things from the dragon. With no other choice, Ji Xiaoyan could only ask someone to bring out the few kilograms of dragon meat she had mentioned before, and then sold most of it to Mandrill and Ghost Picture in front of everyone.
Although they wanted to take them all away, Ji Xiaoyan felt that they had to do enough for the show! But we can't let them think that she still has dragon meat in her hand, so she sold it all so generously. This is also a handle, isn't it?
After watching the Mandrill and the Ghost Figure leave the city lord's mansion, Ji Xiaoyan finally couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered the guards: "From now on, all teleportation arrays will The people in Sha City are not allowed to enter and exit our Qing City at will! "
The guards immediately conveyed the news.
"Frisman." Ji Xiaoyan returned to the palace and immediately found Frisman and said to him: "You send a message to the undead and ask them how the bone dragon refining is going? By the way, tell them that Sha City The people came to help the Fox Clan buy dragon bones. When the time comes, the Fox Clan Or if the people in Sha City think of the undead clan, they will definitely send someone to see it, and ask you, the patriarch, to be careful not to leak the news."
Frisman nodded quickly, turned around and returned to the house. The undead went to the news.
Qing Yu looked worried and couldn't help but said to Ji Xiaoyan: "Gui Tu and Shen Mandrill will not believe what you said, Lord City Lord. Although the dragon bone has been taken away, they are sure I will try my best to come to Qingcheng to find other things. Yes. The teleportation array can only prevent them from sneaking in. If they come for a formal visit, you still have to receive them."
"That will happen in the future." Ji Xiaoyan has also thought about this. Very helpless. Unless they Qingcheng and Shacheng really break up and never interact with each other, what if she goes too far and causes Shacheng to be dissatisfied? What if they suddenly attack Qingcheng with the Fox Clan and capture them? ?
She will always be the city lord of Qingcheng, but if they expel her without restriction and prevent her from coming back, her title as the city lord of Qingcheng will be just an empty title.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but still be a little worried about Qingcheng's strength.
“What you can do now, Lord City Lord, is to bring all the surrounding towns into Qingcheng’s sphere of influence as much as possible, let them all become a part of Qingcheng, increase Qingcheng’s allies, and expand Qingcheng’s sphere of influence. " Qing Yu said seriously to Ji Xiaoyan, "It is no longer enough to stick to one city. , Lord City Lord. Now that everyone is fighting for the mainland, if Qingcheng doesn’t want to be swallowed up, it can only be the one that devours others.”
“You want me to take the initiative to fight?” Ji Xiaoyan was a little surprised. Looking at Qingyu and seeing him nodding affirmatively, Ji Xiaoyan frowned and stopped talking.
General Manager Qing Gong also disagreed: "Qingyu, our Qingcheng is not a main battle city! We don't have that many troops to fight on the mainland!"
"Not that many There are adventurers among the aborigines! "Qing Yu! Smiling softly, he said to Manager Qing Gong: "If we really compete for strength, adventurers are also a kind of strength? As long as the Lord of the City is willing to fight, there will definitely be many adventurers who will respond and participate, just like the dragon slayer. It’s the same time!”
"It's different, Qing Yu." Ji Xiaoyan shook his head, waved his hand towards Qing Yu, and then said: "I'll think about this matter again, you all can go down."
Qing Yu Yu He hesitated and opened his mouth, but in the end he was dragged away by Manager Qing Gong without saying a word. Ji Xiaoyan took a deep look at Qingyu's back and frowned.
Qingyu, the NPC, belongs to the main war faction and has a somewhat radical temperament. I don’t know if he proposed this because he wanted to deliberately show off in front of her. But for Qing Qing to take the initiative to conquer the mainland, Ji Xiaoyan felt a little guilty.
The aboriginal guards in Qingcheng don’t have much combat power at their disposal. If anything happens, they can only solve it with the help of the entire Qingshimen sect’s combat power. If they clear the city and want to conquer the mainland, it will be impossible for them to do it alone!
Let Qingshimen come together? It’s also unlikely! They are not on the same continent, and people who can come across the continent to help are already very kind and righteous.
However, if they don’t take the initiative to fight, their Qingcheng strength will always only be this little. When the Fox Clan and Sha City Even though they have grown stronger, they are still clearing the city as they are now. In the end, when Sha City no longer needed her as a guide to help them leave Sha City, that was when their Qing City was captured!
Rather than letting others grow stronger to attack you, it is a good idea to take the initiative and start growing yourself.
Ji Xiaoyan thought about it alone for a long time, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind.
So, Ji Xiaoyan thought for a while, led a few guards all the way out of the city lord's mansion, and went directly to the training ground yard in the north of the city. He stepped on the teleportation array and went to the training ground, ready to see those who had mutated again. The mutated beasts.
Guang once told her to go to the training ground to have a look and learn some experience when she was fine. Ji Xiaoyan nodded in agreement at that time, and then realized that she was an NPC. When she went to the training ground, the mutant beasts had no way of attacking her, and they couldn't learn anything, so they never set off.
After feeling a little upset, Ji Xiaoyan finally thought about it.
Everything is business as usual in the training ground.
It’s just that there are more adventurers than when Ji Xiaoyan came.
With a flash of white light, before Ji Xiaoyan stepped out of the teleportation array, he saw several adventurers appearing on the teleportation array. Most of them had expressionless faces and unhappy moods.
Several adventurers looked at Ji Xiaoyan curiously, but in the end they did not come forward to talk to her. Instead, they rushed out of the teleportation array with suspicious expressions, and then ran towards the training ground.
Ji Xiaoyan looked at the backs of the adventurers and was about to step out and follow them. However, the next second he saw a huge black figure running out of the bushes. Within a few seconds, he Killed all those adventurers.
"Cackle." The mutant beast looked towards Ji Xiaoyan with its green eyes, and made a series of strange sounds, which seemed to be mocking or warning.
It was a mutated beast about three meters tall, with black and gray fur, a head like a big cat, but with a pair of green eyes and long ears, which were always upright and listening. There was movement around him, and his two long fangs were glowing coldly. After seeing Ji Xiaoyan, he couldn't help but lick them with his tongue.
"Oh my god, why are you teleported to this teleportation array again? It's that mutant beast again, do you want people to live?"
While Ji Xiaoyan was dazed, a plaintive female voice suddenly sounded in the teleportation array.
“Hey, is there anyone else?”
Ji Xiaoyan heard another male voice. She turned around and looked over, only to find that there were more people than she thought. This was a group of people, about ten people. several.
The people who came were none other than the same team that Yu Qisi stayed with at the beginning, Qing Huan from Xia Zhi, Gu Liang from Jiujiu, Little Rabbit’s Shadow and Ma Ge.
“It’s you!” Jiujiu Guliang recognized Ji Xiaoyan instantly. The NPC who sold her the map in the first place!
Ji Xiaoyan glanced at Jiujiu Guliang and smiled slightly.
"Are you alone?" Jiujiu Guliang looked around and couldn't help but ask.
Xia Zhi’s Qing Huan opened her eyes curiously and looked at Ji Xiaoyan, then looked at Jiujiu Sister Liang, and asked in a low voice: “Sister Jiujiu, do you know her? "
"I saw it once." Jiujiu Guliang nodded silently.
"Isn't it? This is not like your style!" Xia Zhi's Qing Huan looked at Jiu Jiu Gu Liang with a sullen expression, and said inquiringly: "You should be the one who has always been cold-faced and not greeting people. Huh? This is the first time I’ve seen you greet someone so enthusiastically. Who is this person?”
Jiujiu Guliang didn't say anything. She only knew that the woman in front of her was probably an NPC.
The shadow of the little rabbit couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at Ji Xiaoyan, and that inexplicable feeling of familiarity suddenly came out.
After seeing clearly that the person in the teleportation array was Ji Xiaoyan, Brother Ma quickly ran over, bowed slightly to Ji Xiaoyan and saluted, and then asked: "Miss Xiaoyan, what are you doing? Are you here? Why don’t you bring a guard? Do you want to come with us?”
