Chapter 128 Bounty
Shengtian, as the most beautiful place in the Maple Kingdom, in Li Qing's impression, should be described with words such as singing and dancing, bridges painted with willows, wind curtains and green curtains.
After he entered the imperial capital, the first thing he felt was a sense of depression. The pedestrians walking on the street looked sad, as if the sky was covered with a layer of lingering clouds. That way.
Even if the imperial capital is like this, one can only imagine what the situation was like in other states and cities in the Wu Dynasty.
Bounty posters can be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys. Under the portraits of warriors, there are a series of shocking reward amounts.
As Li Qing walked along, he already had a stack of wanted warrants in his hand. The ones recorded on them were all the warriors with the highest reward amounts in recent years and the most out-of-the-box warriors.
With the wanted order in hand, Li Qing went to the Taoyuan Restaurant that he was familiar with. He had bought the liquor here when he brewed two tanks of medicinal wine.
"The waiter is serving wine, and bring over two jars of your best winter plum wine."
"Three kilograms more soy sauce beef, fried peanuts, and red braised pig's trotters."
Without even looking at the menu, Li Qing immediately ordered a list of the things he ordered most often as soon as he sat down.
However, unexpectedly, the waiter with a rag on his shoulders had a look of embarrassment on his face. He said:
"Customer, the winter plums in our store can only be sold to "The grassland people."
"The Wu Dynasty has banned the slaughter of cattle in recent years, so our restaurant no longer sells soy beef."
Hearing this, Li Qing frowned slightly. Getting up, I cursed in my heart that prairie people have many rules. In order to reflect their noble status, they can see privileges and rules everywhere.
“Then bring a jar of Shao Daozi and Jiu Yunchun, and replace the soy sauce beef with donkey meat.”
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir!" The waiter bowed respectfully.
After the waiter stepped away, Li Qing couldn't help but muttered:
"People, the more they lack something, the more they like to show off."
After saying that, Li Qing Qing began to look through the stack of wanted posters in his hand, wanting to see the few familiar faces on them.
But soon, a person with a sly look came next to him, looking at him as a very shrewd and philistine person.
"Sir, are you a bounty hunter?"
"Would you like me to introduce you to the warriors on the wanted list? I know some basic information about these wanted people very well. "
A bounty hunter, as the name suggests, is a person who specializes in hunting down warriors with wanted warrants to earn a large sum of money.
Such people are generally highly skilled in martial arts and covet the huge bounties and various excellent treatment conditions offered by the Wu Dynasty.
Of course, with bounty hunters, many intelligence dealers are naturally born.
The person who is now close to Li Qing is a trafficker who provides information on the reward order.
"Tell me first, what is the basis for determining the reward amounts for these warriors." Li Qing glanced at him and asked.
The information dealer smiled flatteringly: "Sir, the bounty is mainly determined based on strength!"
"External warriors are all at the level of a thousand taels of silver. , Neijing martial artist is worth ten thousand taels. As for the Huajin Grandmaster who is currently wanted with a reward, there is only one. His head is worth 180,000 taels, and the person who kills him can be directly awarded the title of Marquis!"
“Of course, for warriors of the same strength, the bounty will also change differently based on their fame and the harm they cause.”
It sounded quite reasonable. Li Qing smiled and planned to hire this information dealer to get a better understanding of the situation of these warriors with bounties on their heads.
"Do you know everything about all the people wanted for bounties?"
The other party patted his chest and promised: "I dare not say that I know them all, but at least I know nine out of ten of them. If you are targeting a target, you might as well ask me directly. I can tell you all the basic information about him. "Okay, I'll tell you the name next." Li Qing turned over his hand. After this stack of wanted posters, he said:
“Tell me, what did Qi Kang, the devil of Huntian, commit, to be rewarded with a reward of sixty-eight thousand taels. ”
Yes, Li Qing was actually quite surprised after seeing Qi Kang's name.
But after thinking about it later, Qi Kang was originally a villager outside Wangyuan City, and he probably didn't have a good impression of the grassland horse thieves.
"Hey, this Demon of Hun Tian is not a simple person. He has already reached the level of internal energy four years ago. Now his internal energy is even more frightening. I heard that it is compared to many older figures. His inner strength is even deeper!”
“The reason why his bounty is as high as 68,000 taels is not only because he has killed many grassland tribesmen in anger, but also because the current Saint King has targeted him. The martial arts secrets he practiced."
"According to rumors, the origin of this Huntian Demon's martial arts is not simple. It is said that after beating a person to death, he can absorb all the internal energy of the opponent for his own use. , you said how scary this is!”
"For others, it only takes them decades of practice to achieve the powerful skills. For him, it only takes a year or so to achieve it."
"If this martial arts falls into the hands of the imperial court, That’s too much.”
Death!
The name of this evil skill naturally emerged in Li Qing's heart. When he was in the tomb, he had somewhat guessed that the star-catching thief Ning Yuan had given Qi Kang to practice the Death Art.
It was not until later that Qi Kang became famous all over the world with him and became the rising stars of the five younger generations in the world, that he confirmed that Qi Kang had practiced the Death Art.
"Tell me again, why the sect leader of the Nine Lotus Sect and the Purple Lotus Protector are also wanted. Didn't the Nine Lotus Sect go south with them?" Li Qing asked another question that he was very concerned about.
Among them, the bounty for the leader of the Black Lotus Sect is 180,000 taels, while the bounty for the Purple Lotus is 53,470 taels, which is quite similar.
The information dealer silently wiped the sweat from his face, wondering what was going on with the person in front of him. He was either a master of internal energy or a master of Huajin.
However, he still answered truthfully:
"In fact, the Nine Lotus Sect has power in the north and south. Counting the Black Lotus Sect leader, there are a total of six lotuses in the north. So Naturally, it is impossible to give up a big foundation. ”
"But the reason why the bounty is so high is because the Holy Lord has set his sights on those peerless magic weapons that were once famous in the world, and even spent a lot of money to find a blacksmith capable of forging magic weapons!"
"Actually, To put it bluntly, the imperial court has targeted and killed warriors several times, just for the inheritance of martial arts and these magical weapons in the world."
"As for the most famous magic weapon in the world, the Demon Sword Red Lotus. Naturally, he was targeted by the imperial court. "
"About half a year ago, someone discovered traces of this Purple Lotus protector in Liangzhou City."
"At that time, all the elites came out. , thousands of cavalry began to search and hunt throughout the city."
"The Purple Lotus Protector once fell into a life-and-death crisis, and even the demon sword Red Lotus in the opponent's hand was almost lost."
"In the end, the Black Lotus Sect Master came out with force, holding the Red Lotus Demon Sword, and in one breath He killed three to four hundred elite cavalry and directly destroyed the morale of the entire cavalry team."
While listening, the dishes on the table were also served, and Li Qing started eating.
Speaking of this Purple Lotus Protector, he had a chance encounter with him.
But what Li Qing yearns for the most is the powerful strength of the leader of the Black Lotus Sect. He can kill hundreds of cavalry by himself, armed with magic weapons.
This is the style that Master Huajing should have!
When Wangyuan City fell, General Lu Guanghong, armed with a Xuanwu spear, entered the battle formation to kill the enemy. He was still unafraid of the tens of thousands of cavalry he faced. He forcibly carved a path in the battle formation and almost threatened Tuwahar. channel.
The leader of the Black Lotus Sect boldly attacked in the city, killing thousands of cavalry with one sword and destroying the morale of the army!
When he thought of this, Li Qing had a feeling of empathy.
"Hahaha, good wine, so happy!" Li Qing picked up a jar of strong wine and took a big gulp.
