Chapter Nine The stench

"Many people in Yunjianlou have this smell." Li Xiang said: "In order to cover up, they all wear very strong sachets..."

It is hard to understand what is the purpose of such a busy Yunjian Tower.

Xun Qing was about to speak, but Li Bai noticed that Li Xiang was pulling his sleeves. His ears moved slightly, and his expression suddenly trembled. He covered Xun Qing's mouth and pulled the two of them to squat and hid in the flowers.

Immediately afterwards, two figures appeared from the path behind him. If it weren't for Li Xiang's reminder, he would have bumped into him head-on.

It was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, and a manager following behind him sweating profusely. He walked past them and walked straight to the depths of the darkness.

Li Bai's gaze was attracted by the person walking in front of him.

Ji Xian!

However, unlike the grace and kindness that was one hour ago, the upright face was full of hideousness at this moment.

Without thinking, Li Bai tiptoed over...

"I can't do such a small thing well. Can I raise you guys for decoration? They were easily caught in by two thieves and even read the account book!

That guy named Kunlun Mole made his swordsmanship seem to be unparalleled in the world. As a result, he ate so much every day, and it was a complete bucket of food!"

Behind him, the manager kept nodding and bowing, not daring to disobey.

The two walked to a huge door, and Ji Xian stopped and angrily shouted: "Okay, go back and do things! If you can't bring back the bodies of the two little thieves, bring your head back!

Also, Bo Qingjun’s goods will be delivered today, immediately!"

The manager nodded in panic and hurried away with a team of strong swordsmen.

Only Ji Xian disappeared in the darkness behind the Iron Gate.

After a long time, Li Bai withdrew his gaze and looked behind him. Only Xun Qing's gloomy expression and Li Xiang's uneasy appearance were seen.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?"

He asked softly.

If it were normal, Li Bai would not have too many concerns. No matter what situation he encountered, he always believed that he had a try. But now it is different, he has two people who must protect here.

You can't let them get carried into the pit by your own mind.

"I actually ask others for advice. I don't look like you."

Xun Qing shook his head indifferently and sighed: "I've come here... I won't know what trick that guy Ji Xian is playing, I will definitely not leave.

Where is Lixiang? Wait for us to come back here?"

"I'll be with you."

Unexpectedly, the blind boy holding the pipa hesitated for a moment, bit his lip and said, "If you can't come back, I can't get out here alone."

"Then follow me."

The grassroots at the corner of Li Bai's mouth raised the curve of his smile and drew his sword out of the sheath. "Let's take a look together, what the hell is that guy doing!"

There seemed to be a huge space in the darkness behind the door, silent at this moment.

Only a little light leaked out from the crack of the door in the distance, illuminating the vague scene and the outlines of countless behemoths.

The huge lifting arms, fine assembly tables, and even various production tools are like a large-scale workshop.

But this is a bit too advanced.

Even if you have only a little understanding of the mechanism, in Li Bai's opinion, there are many things in it, and the equipment at Xun Qing's home may not be able to catch up!

Just above the long rows of long tables, various parts and parts of the organ beast were randomly placed, but they didn’t look like they were assembled, but they were like... disassembly!

The huge mechanical workshop at this moment is not the place where the mechanical beasts were born, but more like a place where the mechanical beasts were dismembered.

What's strange is that most tools and equipment are still in place, and some mechanisms are still running, continuing their dull and monotonous movements, as if they were still operating normally at the last moment.

But at this moment, no one saw it.

There is not even the guards that should be...

But in the final analysis, why do we need to build a special agency workshop under Yunjian Building?

"The agency...smuggling?"

Xun Qing whispered in shock.

It is hard to imagine that the famous gold-selling cave in Chang'an, the extremely luxurious Yunjian Tower is just a disguise set by Ji Xian. The real treasure pot is actually hidden in this shameful workshop under Yunjian Tower!

That guy Ji Xian secretly smuggled organ beasts to places outside Chang'an in secret!

This is a profitable "good business"!

Even much higher profits than smuggling oil, salt and tea!

In order to maintain the monopoly of its own technology, all exported agencies are controlled by Yu Hengsi, the imperial agency in charge of all agencies and facilities in Chang'an. They are strictly guarded and prevented from all possible spying on technology. Even every agency is registered and private transfer is prohibited.

All registered government officials are the targets of monitoring, and they must submit their own status description and product catalog to Yu Hengsi almost every ten days.

Even under such high pressure control, smuggling by the agency is still the only choice to get rich overnight. Once transported out of the vassal states, the value of the agency beasts that can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City immediately increased by more than a hundred times, and I don't know how many outlaws are flocking to it.

But that was just a small fight.

It is simply not comparable to the scale they are in front of them.

In front of Xun Qing, there are hundreds of most common transport agencies, including wooden, ox, and horses... With his years of poverty, he could not imagine what kind of sky-high prices these agencies could sell in the ghost market outside Chang'an.

As an institution teacher, he even imagined the whole process. In this workshop, all the institution beasts have undergone unrecognizable transformation, packed into boxes, and hid in mountains of goods through the operation of the ghost market. Through various ways, they rode the track cart and went to all directions...

Among them, a batch of goods was unlucky, and unfortunately exposed in front of Honglu Temple...

As a result, the smugglers rushed to the wall, causing a military smuggler who had just returned to Chang'an to become an unlucky hostage and were rescued by another swordsman who had come up to steal wine and drink halfway through the cart.

It happened that the slutty dog ​​thing actually touched his own mechanism from the smuggler...

At that moment, all the messy clues finally continued.

Strictly fit.

There is no more mystery.

"He wants to harm us just because we ruined his good things?"

Xun Qing talked to himself, unbelievable.

Just because of this, they were going to be killed, and they would be willing to involve an innocent beggar in it and kill it coldly?

Just because I thought of such a ridiculous reason, I was almost breathless.

"Get out of here!"

He kicked away the blind boy who was blocking the front, and his figure disappeared again with difficulty and melted into the darkness.

Xun Qing swung the iron stick in his hand and subconsciously chased him in the direction where he disappeared, but heard Li Xiang's shout: "He is in the south!"

Xun Qing turned around without thinking, and heard a muffled groan, as if he had hit something, and a little bit of blood stained the iron rod.

Ji Xian's embarrassing back flashed from the air. He used his hands and feet to climb to the door leading to the outside of the workshop, and his speed actually accelerated again!

"Whisper of the Wind?"

Xun Qing's eyes were sharp-eyed, and when he saw the green ring on Ji Xian's hand, he immediately became angry.

Ji Xian, this dog, actually has such a treasure hidden on his body!

Those precious objects circulating on the King's Continent, the rare treasures created by skilled craftsmen, were sorted out by Jixia to collect the effects and functions of the top various strange objects into a book. Almost every one is a treasure that warriors, mages and even mechanical masters always dream of.

The 112th grade known as the "Heavenly Treasure of Heavenly Manufacturing"!

Among them, compared with many famous swords and weapons, Feng Zhiwen is also a rare treasure. It can support magic shields for the wearer, resist the damage of the surprise attack, and save his life under the assassin's attack.

That magic shield actually hit Li Bai's two swords!

It’s a pity that I haven’t practiced any stick technique, otherwise I would have taken advantage of the opportunity of the magic shield breaking just now and killed him!

But Li Bai's pursuit did not stop. Seizing the moment when Xun Qing blocked it, his figure had already soared into the air, stepping on the broken machine beasts displayed in the workshop, and pounced towards Ji Xian.

The sword blade falling from the sky reflected the cold light, slashing down in the sad roar. The flawless attack was almost at its peak. Even if you couldn't see Ji Xian's vague figure clearly, it had already locked in his only way!

But when he noticed the chill like a ray of light on his back, Ji Xian gritted his teeth, and a glow appeared on his boots under his feet, causing his speed to increase sharply again.

The cut-off blade tore his outer robe and the armor that was also ranked in the level of Tiangong inside, leaving a deep bone-visible scar on his back, and blood gushed.

Li Bai frowned.

The Whisper of the Wind, the Shoots of the Speed, and the Clothing Armor known as the Heavenly Clothes...

How afraid of death is this bastard? He actually equipped himself with so many equipment that is hard to buy.

Under the stimulation of death, Ji Xian struggled to escape, staggering in the strange sea of ​​flowers without looking back.

I don’t know what mechanism he caused. A harsh alarm sounded in the darkness, and chaotic footsteps kept coming from afar.

The swordsmen and the dead soldiers who were sent by Ji Xian to take the important roads and search Yunjianlou finally arrived.

For a moment, in the dark, I couldn't tell how many people were. I could only see the sharp blades in their hands and the pupils dyed red by the murderous intent.

Seeing his subordinates finally coming, Ji Xian's face finally showed a smile of danger. He turned around and looked at Li Bai who was chasing him closely behind him, and his expression became extremely ferocious.

"Kill him for me!"

He roared hoarsely: "Kill him for me! Who can kill this bastard? I will give you a reward of 1,000! There are also the two dogs and bastards behind, don't forget! Kill them all!"

Before he finished speaking, someone rushed forward without hesitation. Then, the galloping figure stagnated and staggered by Li Bai and fell to the ground.

Dead silence suddenly came.

The flying blood rose from the blade and fell down again.
Chapter completed!
