Monarch of Evernight: Back to Nanqing again
bsp;"Pack your things and follow me to Nan Qingcheng." Qianye said.
Qingyue nodded vigorously, returned to her cabin, and quickly re-armed herself. When she walked out of the house, her whole person seemed to be glowing again, and her former confidence returned to her.
Qianye was kneeling on the ground, teasing little Zhu Ji with one finger. The little guy was like an irritated kitten. He kept slapping Qianye's fingers with his little hands, showing his white teeth from time to time and making a purring sound, threatening Qianye.
This seemed to be a normal scene, but Qingyue was stunned. If nothing else, the speed of the two of them was so fast that even with Qingyue's eyesight, he could only see a bunch of shadows. As long as Zhu Ji's two small hands move, it will bring up numerous afterimages. But Qianye's fingers had long since become insubstantial, seeming to be invisible, dodging Xiao Zhuji's attacks within a few inches.
This kind of training to amuse children, if it were Qingyue Shang, she would probably be dizzy by being slapped by Xiao Zhuji immediately. Moreover, the little guy's speed is as fast as a shadow and the wind, which shows that his power cannot be underestimated. At this moment, she doubted whether her head could withstand a few slaps from Little Zhuji.
"Ah!" Seeing the thrilling place, Qingyue couldn't help but whisper.
"Are you here?" Qianye noticed Qingyue. However, after only a moment of distraction, his hand was finally caught by Zhu Ji. The little guy might have been really excited by the teasing, so he opened his little mouth and instinctively took a bite!
"Ah!!" This time it was Qianye who screamed. Even his body bathed in fire could not withstand the little guy's silver teeth, and he was bitten to pieces.
After one bite, the little guy immediately knew that he was in trouble and quickly relaxed. Looking at Qianye's **** fingers, the little guy rolled his eyes and quickly lowered his head. His eye circles immediately turned red, and big tears fell one after another, as if he had turned into a kitten that had been wronged. .
Qianye was speechless immediately, as if she was being bullied. But there was no way to reason with little Zhu Ji. In desperation, he had no choice but to touch Zhu Ji's head and say a few words of comfort.
Qingyue approached cautiously and asked, "Is it important?"
"It's okay." Qianye urged his blood energy, and the wound on his finger healed on its own in a moment. He picked up Zhu Ji and took Qingyue towards the Hall of Heroes.
A moment later, the Hall of Heroes rose into the sky. Under the top of the sky, the huge ship slowly turned and flew towards the vast East China Sea.
Two days later, Qianye arrived in the Southern Wasteland again. As usual, he hovered the Hall of Heroes at a high place near the void, while he and Qingyue Zhuji flew down to the earth and headed towards Nanqing City.
There are several large cities in the East China Sea, including the main city of the human race who live here. They are all large cities where materials circulate and wealth gathers. It is natural to go to these two places to purchase military supplies. Although Nanqing City is located in the Southern Wilderness, the city owner is well-run and it is also located at a transportation hub. If you want to explore deep into the Southern Wilderness, this is the best supply base. In addition, Nan Qingcheng, which had just fought several wars recently and gained a lot of profits from them, has reached a new level of prosperity.
Qianye felt that he was destined to Nan Qingcheng. In addition, Xiao Zhuji’s affairs were not over yet, so he chose Nan Qingcheng from the beginning.
A few days later, Nanqing City was filled with a sense of desolation and desolation. Most of the pedestrians walking on the street were in a hurry and had worried faces. Although the tavern was crowded with people, the laughter and shouts of the past were gone. In an extremely depressing atmosphere, the mercenary hunters just lowered their heads and drank sullenly, seemingly full of thoughts.
Most of the ordnance stores throughout the city were deserted and empty. The clerks leaned listlessly behind the counter. Even when customers came in, they only raised their eyes and didn't even bother to say hello.
The ordnance store Qianye walked into is neither big nor small. It mainly sells parts for tanks, trucks and motorcycles as well as accessory weapons. You can also find some parts for floating battleships here. As for the source, let’s talk about it. Not sure anymore.
Seeing that the clerk had no intention of greeting him, Qianye couldn't help but feel strange. Qingyue immediately stepped forward and put her left hand on the counter. The clerk looked up and saw not a hand, but a thick barrel of a gun.
The clerk was startled, immediately stood up straight, and said with a pale face: "What do you want from this noble lady? As long as it is something that a villain can do, I will definitely do it for you."
At this moment, the clerk had put on a bright smile. The Gaohu people are mercenaries as a profession. They are extremely fierce, but they are also the best customers. As long as the goods are good enough, they are not picky about the price.
Qingyue didn't mention her request, but first asked: "What happened to the city? Why did it suddenly become so deserted?"
The clerk sighed and said: "What else can happen? Isn't it all caused by the city lord's young master? I heard that this incident provoked some extremely powerful men, and the result was a disastrous defeat in the south. I heard that this incident provoked several extremely powerful men. Except for the leader, all the powerful members of the Fury of the Wind were killed, and the opponent couldn't even use their second move. In addition, more than half of their soldiers were lost, and even the city guards placed inside with the city lord also suffered heavy losses. The Fury of the Wind is like this, think about it, how can these other mercenary groups be good?"
Qingyue still didn’t know about this and asked in surprise: “The loss is so heavy?”
"That's right! Think about it, many mercenary groups have lost more than half of their personnel. How can you get this pension? Some mercenary groups have simply disbanded." The clerk sighed again and said: " They can’t even afford pensions now, so how can they get the money to buy equipment?”
Qingyue was suddenly enlightened and glanced at Qianye. She instinctively felt that this matter seemed to have something to do with Qianye, but she did not continue the topic, but asked: "Do you have an engine for a floating battleship?"
Seeing the real business, the clerk immediately cheered up and said: "Yes, of course! The store just received a batch of new engines recently, and the goods are in good condition! At least 80% new!"
Qianye and Qingyue followed the clerk to the warehouse at the back. The clerk lifted up the oilcloth to reveal the engine underneath. There were five or six engines in total, all piled together haphazardly. Two of them had signs of being chopped, which showed that they were not skilled in dismantling them.
Even Qianye could tell that these engines were all old stuff, and the latest ones were only 50% new. Moreover, they are all old designs. According to imperial standards, they are all antiques from a hundred years ago. However, Qianye was not disappointed. He came to this store just to get information, and he didn't expect to buy really good products here.
Qingyue carefully selected, and finally selected two small engines. She paid a deposit and asked the store clerk to pack them and come back to pick them up in two days.
When there is business, the clerk is very agile. Before Qianye went out, he had already started cleaning the engine, packing and boxing it.
After walking out of the armory store, Qianye strolled down the street and visited two more stores. These small shops don't have any good products, but Qingyue picked some. Most of the small parts she picked were affordable and reliable.
Qianye nodded secretly. Anyway, the space in the Hall of Valor is huge, just enough to accommodate these bulky equipment. If it is made more precisely, the performance may not be improved, but the price will double. For example, if the size of an engine is reduced by half with the same power, the price will increase at least ten times.
The three of them walked along the deserted street like this. The mercenaries they met along the way would often pay attention to them, and more and more people were paying attention to them. When several mercenaries saw Qianye, they immediately changed their colors, lowered their heads and walked away quickly. Some simply changed directions and hurried away.
Seeing this, Qingyue could no longer bear it and asked: "Sir, this incident is not related to you, is it?"
"It has something to do with it." Qianye smiled.
"Then you are still showing off like this! How about we make some disguises?"
Qianye shrugged and said, "Didn't we already disguise ourselves?"
Qingyue was suddenly choked and speechless. Qianye just changed his clothes and put on a mustache. Is this called disguise? Although after putting on the beard, Qianye's eyes look even more beautiful, and his whole person exudes a kind of evil temptation. But as long as anyone has met Qianye, who can't see through such a lame disguise?
But Qianye didn't care, and Qingyue didn't say much. She just quietly adjusted the output power of the engines around her body to the maximum, and then charged the Force weapons.
Qianye saw Qingyue's thoughts and smiled: "Don't worry, I just want them to know that I am here."
"Why?"
"No reason, just look at their reactions." Qianye said calmly. After that, he patted Xiao Zhuji on the head and asked: "How are you? Have you recovered? What if a bad guy comes?"
"Spit all over his face!" Xiao Zhuji smiled so hard that her two fangs were exposed.
"So good!" Qianye laughed, picked up little Zhu Ji, put it on his shoulders, and walked forward swaggeringly through the market.
Qingyue didn't understand the meaning, but thought that the whole family was crazy, and she could only sigh in her heart. When passing by a shop, she pulled up her cloak slightly, exposed her left arm, and showed a symbol on the Force gun.
The clerk in the store was sitting listlessly, but he was shocked when he saw this symbol. Qingyue made another hidden gesture, and the clerk instantly understood, nodded, and knocked on his chest with his fist. Qingyue wrapped herself in the cloak again and followed Qianye forward.
The clerk rushed directly to the backyard, which was very spacious. There were seven or eight people lying or sitting inside, all of them with rough and terrifying auras.
"Get up! The War Girl has just appeared. She wants our people to assemble and prepare to fight!"
These people were suddenly surprised and happy, and said in confusion: "The war girl finally appeared!"
"Didn't you say that she has fallen to the ground? Lair?"
"Bah! You can believe what that **** says!"
The clerk shouted again: "Don't worry, I'll give you five minutes to prepare all the combat equipment, and then go to the stronghold on Luomen Street."
These are Gaohu warriors. When they heard the battle preparations, they all looked fierce and murderous. Someone asked: "Who are you fighting with?"
The clerk had a strange look on his face and said, "What the war girl means is that she might be the city guard of Nan Qingcheng."
