Chapter 1844 Despicable Organization

After confirming the position of the captain, these guys divided the money for this time. All of them were happy, except for Li Cong, of course, because Li Cong really didn’t like the small amount of hundreds of millions of dollars in front of him. Now, I can’t spend all my money, and sometimes it’s not a good thing to have a lot of money, but the silver in Li Cong’s ring seems to be official silver. If you use it out, it’s possible It will be a little troublesome, usually small-scale use is nothing, but large-scale ones will definitely be found out. Of course, the gold is not so particular about it. It is just pieces of gold bricks. Take it out directly. Just use it, no one will pay attention to this thing.

They all agreed to enter the Warcraft Mountains again in three months. Hong Zhan and Gao Qiang’s cousin Gao Feng contacted each other. They had a cooperative relationship, and they were all very convenient to connect with each other. Anyway, they are all here. They don’t go far in the city. They also talked about Lord Earl’s wedding. They all wished that they were the well-destined Earl. They also said that the sixth child’s ability is not much less than that of the Earl. Maybe in the future. The sixth child's achievements are more powerful than the earl.

After going out, a few people went on their own. When they meet again next time, it is estimated that Li Tie and the three of them will all be in the ranks of sixth-level fighters. As for Hong Zhan if he is lucky, he will definitely be a seventh-level fighter, but luck If it’s not good, this guy will make a lot of progress. It’s okay to buy some good equipment. As for Li Cong himself, he has to exercise himself during this period of time. Li Cong feels his warrior skills. While descending step by step, although I am a magician, I don’t want to be like those weak magicians. When encountering things, I can only stand behind the fighters, so Li Cong wants to directly Go outside and kill some low-level monsters to temper yourself.

The swordsmanship or swordsmanship of warriors is not as mysterious as the magic books of magicians. They are sold in some bookstores, but there is a rule that is the same as the magician union. You just learn it yourself. , But if it spreads out.This will be killed immediately. It is said that this was suppressed by the Warriors’ Association. In the past few years, some people sold it privately, and they were eventually killed. As time passed, no one would dare to do that. There is no need to be an enemy of the people of the world if you make a living with your head.There are definitely a lot of people in this chain of interests.

Li Cong's warrior equipment was almost lost in this escape. Li Cong looked at the sky after he came out.Anyway, the time is still early, and the princess has nothing to find herself before the wedding. The wedding is still early, so you can use this time to equip your fighter skills. As for your own Magician, that has already reached a bottleneck. It is not that simple to want your mental power from level 6 to level 7, and I don’t want to buy other magic books because I don’t know how to use some of the previous magic skills. It.Buying those now is a bit too wasteful, it is better to eat these magic skills in your hand first before buying them.

Xinjiang Ningcheng’s market may not be as good as the previous one, and not as large as that one, but the things Li Cong buys are all basic things. The quality of this weapon is divided into three levels. Generally speaking, it is the Chinese character and the ground character. , Tianzi, the equipment of this character is basically the weapon in the hands of most soldiers.Such weapons can be manufactured in batches. As long as the materials are good, they can be manufactured. Such weapons are generally used by fighters below level seven. Don’t think that those manufactured in batches will have nothing good. , This is not always true, these weapons are still very good for killing monsters.Before, Li Cong’s weapons belonged to herringbone, but after wandering around the Warcraft Mountains for a while, Li Cong discovered that the herringbone weapon is really not up to his own skill. Sometimes this weapon will become his own cumbersome. , So since when did Li Cong think that he could have some good weapons, it would be better to take a good look if he had time.

"Everyone, come and take a look. All the weapons I have here come from Cornell province in the northern part of the empire. It is not just the home of weapons for our entire empire. It is very famous across the continent. Everyone, come over and take a look. This is the best in herringbone equipment. It has everything. Come and take a look to make sure that you will come home with satisfaction.” Someone on the side of the road kept saying that, all of them said His weapons and equipment were produced by Cornell. There are the most elite craftsmen in the empire. It seems that this weapon cannot be sold without telling where it came from. Li Cong shook his head helplessly. Fake sales in places are very popular, and it is the same here.

Li Cong walked over and took a look. These weapons are still passable, but it is a bit too fake to say that they were shipped from Cornell. This is the southernmost part of the empire. Cornell is not the northernmost part of the empire. , But it’s also to the north in the middle. It’s estimated that it will take a few years for the time spent on the road. No one will be so stupid to transport it. If it is shipped from there, it will definitely be a sky-high price. , How could it be possible to buy a few hundred pieces of silver?

"How many steel knives do you have here, and how much does it cost?" Li Cong said, picking up a handful of them, and saying it was pretty good. He had to kill a lot of beasts if he wanted to practice his knife. The magic weapon, after killing it for a while, this knife will definitely become old, unless it is made of very good materials, but it will definitely become old.

"The guest officer is really eye-sighted. To be honest, I only have this steel knife on the street. It was made by an old craftsman in Cornell. If my husband likes it, I still have some here. , The price is of course very cheap, so, my husband and I can say that it is very random. If the husband wants this steel knife, I will get 10 taels of silver. If the husband wants more, we still have the price Negotiable." This guy said with a smile. Li Cong knows a little bit about the market. This guy must have been asking for such a sky-high price like a Xiaobai. Li Congyi said nothing. Turn around and leave. What does it mean to have only you here? This is impossible. The whole street is pretty good, but it is impossible to have only you here. If Li Cong looks for it carefully, how can it be? I found dozens of sellers of this item, but the quality is different.This guy is exaggerating.

"Guest, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? If my price is high, can you bargain? The sale is not made with a single hammer. We still have a lot of things to discuss. Wasn’t someone’s deal settled? You make a price for the guest officer. If it’s appropriate, I’ll definitely sell it to you. Anyway, it’s useless for me to keep this thing. I have more here. Yes. "This guy was panicked when he saw that Li Cong was about to leave. He saw that this kid was a novice in business. If this is the case, the guests wouldn’t have to bleed and kill your price? Li Cong thought about seeing this guy. Laugh, at the beginning, I thought this guy was a veteran, but I didn't expect to be a novice. You said that your stuff doesn't make much money anymore.Then don't think about being able to sell it at a high price. A good merchant can sell for a price of gold even if it is a handful of soil. These people can say that they are buying and selling in this way, and their mouths are very powerful.

"Hehe, if you want to do business, please show your sincerity. Your knife is pretty good. I want thirty. Make a price. Remember, you have to make a real price, if you make it. If the price is still so high, I'm sorry, I won't do this business with you." Li Cong said with a smile.Then I took out a silver ticket of ten thousand taels of silver. This is to prove his financial strength to you kid. This young man has been here for a day. His goods are very good, but now this weapon Few people asked for it, most of them wanted some better weapons, which he sold very well a few years ago.Who knew that a wave of beasts eliminated all low-level fighters. High-level fighters would naturally not use these to kill Beasts, so they can only deal with it at a discount. There are not so many sales customers, so from the morning to Now there is no single sale, and Li Cong said that it would be his savior to take thirty.

The young man hesitated for a while, and his heart was struggling fiercely. If he said it wrong, his own business would be gone. "400 taels?" The young man said with some guilty conscience. Li Cong saw this guy like this. Brother Chu looked like he didn’t say anything. It is estimated that the four hundred silvers would only make fifty taels. Li Cong dropped the 100 taels of silver bills and found a rope to tie those steel knives and left. , This kid is also altogether, and he just closed the stall. The sum of these sold today is the sum of what he has sold in the past few days. There is no need to stay here and wait, and it is not early.

Li from this can be regarded as buying a bargain, and he walked back happily. Who knows how far he hasn’t walked out before he feels that someone is following him. Is it because his identity has been leaked? Is it Li Tie or the others? Who?Or those who assassinated the princess?Li Cong looked back and saw that the person who followed him was an old man. This old guy didn't even think about converging. In the past, Li Cong knew that York was following him, but the guy who encountered danger these few times has not come out. It seems that it is really irresponsible, so Li Cong always thinks about leaving when he is in danger.

"Old man, are you following me?" Li Cong turned around and said, he has already turned two turns, this guy is still following him, which is a bit strange, if you really follow him, how can he hide it. It can't be the way it is now, so what kind of tracking is this, let alone a person like yourself, even someone who is not capable can find it.

"Hehe, young man, don’t get excited. I have no malice. I just want to tell you that you were deceived just now. The knives sold by the young man just now are garbage. They are some of the ones in the city recently. Liars have already been deceived by many people. I have good steel knives, but the price is six hundred taels of silver. If you don’t believe it, take out the steel knives on your back and see if it’s right. It’s all inferior goods?” The old man’s words surprised Li Cong. The feeling that the kid was a liar just now, he is still an Oscar actor, I didn’t expect this old guy’s performance to be even more powerful than Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu can be deceived by this old guy, it's really amazing.

Li Cong didn’t believe it very much, but the old guy in front of him smiled and looked at him. Li Cong directly threw the knife behind him on the ground. He picked it up and looked at it. Li Cong is an expert. I can see clearly, shit, except for the one I saw at first, everything else is junk.It is estimated that ten taels are worthless, so was that bastard cheated out ten taels?Damn, Li Cong didn’t feel sorry for that little money. He didn’t spend hundreds of thousands taels of silver someday. Even the money spent on the porridge shed in one hour was not that small. What was depressed was that he was so depressed. The kid was cheated, this kid is really good.Not an ordinary person.

"How about it, boy. This thing is right, old man, I have watched them for several days, and you are not the first one to be fooled. Their acting skills are really good." The old man smiled. Said, this old guy, knowing that he was deceived just now, why didn't he come to remind himself, Li Conggang wanted to say it, and suddenly realized that this matter might not be that simple, this old man reminded himself that it was a matter of one sentence.But it also offends people, they won't do such a thing.

"Hehe, old man, you are really funny. You didn't talk when I was cheated just now. I know that you have your own difficulties in doing your job. It must be that people like them have great abilities. Okay, I asked for one thousand taels for each of these 30 knives, and the items on this list cost about hundreds of thousands taels of silver. I asked you to buy them all. I guess you can earn some. Seventy to eighty thousand silver. At your age, with these money, you should be able to find a place to rest for a while." Li Cong smiled and took out the bank note. The old man’s eyes had suspicion in his eyes, and he had traveled north and south for so many years. It can also be seen that the young man in front of him is not ordinary.

"I only know that there are no such good things in the world, young man, say what you want." Talking to such people is smart.There is no need to talk round and round, and round and round speech is what Li Cong dislikes the most.

"It's very simple. Tell me something about those people. Just pick up what you can say and tell me. Naturally, I won't force you to say what you can't. This is not a place to talk. Go over there." Li Cong Pointing to a small restaurant on the side of the road and said, speaking on the street is really too much of a goal.

The old man thought for a few minutes, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of the silver. Indeed, just like Li Cong said, if he had the silver, he could find a place to take care of himself, that is, someone in his own family. I can also have a good life. Tens of thousands of taels of silver is definitely not a small amount, enough to spend my old age, because this is indeed something I can save myself, and the young man in front of him will not be wrong. Yes, those people are in trouble.

After two people entered the restaurant, Li Cong ordered two stir-fries and sat down. Li Cong didn’t say anything. He just waited for the old man to tell himself. I believe that the old man should have organized the language for so long. What should not be said, I believe the old man should know clearly.

"Those people are not our locals, they are all an organization, this organization is very large, at least in the past six months I have seen hundreds of them, they will find people like you everywhere in the market every day In the past, there was definitely not that much business here, but recently it has replaced the former Nanfang Jiangningcheng. There are more and more people here, and they began to think of this method. Don’t underestimate these people. On the surface, they are just swindlers, but I always feel that they have something to do inside. As for what it is, I don’t know what it is. The accumulation of money is only a stage for them. They should be this market. It's stinking, of course. This is my opinion. They may have been sent by chambers of commerce in other cities, but I haven't heard of any chamber of commerce with that kind of ability and that kind of financial resources." The old man thought After thinking about it, this news can be said to be very popular. Anyone who has been in the market for a while can basically know this news. It is not classified. The money Li Cong spent seems to be worthless, old man. I thought Li Cong would ask something, but who knew that Li Cong was just eating vegetables and didn't say a word.

"Uh.. They seem to live outside the city. They travel to and from the South Gate every day. In the city, we didn't find where they settled. Their daily shipment volume is very large. The last two months Over time, they have basically occupied 10% of the market share for such low-grade goods." The old man finally said something useful.

"I don't understand this a little bit. How can they be foreigners? How can you locals make some foreigners so sloppy here? As far as I know, people who can do things on that street are not soft. For persimmons, don’t anyone teach them?” Li Cong said suspiciously. If the owners of the various shops had been killed by someone, they would have their own shop on this street. This shows that they are not mediocre people.In the past, when you encountered such a thing, you must have asked people to do something. What happened today?Is it a change of temper?

"Hehe, the old saying is that a strong dragon does not crush the snake, but sometimes the dragon can’t do anything about it when the dragon is too strong. Many bosses of this dragon have tried them, as far as I know. , The boss of Jubaozhai invited two fifth-level fighters over. It cost hundreds of thousands taels of silver. Who knows that if these two people go there will be no news. With such strength, who would dare to go?" the old man said I can't believe all of this. No one knows what happened. The accuracy of the news is not high. Li Cong also knows that he can't play anything meaningful with this old guy.

At the beginning, Li Cong only felt that he had lost face, but now it seems that it is not entirely his own face problem. Li Cong feels something is wrong. What the old man said seems to be of some use, because of the animal tide.This has become temporarily the largest city in the south, but there are still several locations that are similar to here. If anyone can get the title of the largest city in the south, there will be a lot of profits in the future. All provinces will be contested, but it seems that such a bad idea is not what the official person should do, and it is also very embarrassing.

"Okay. Take the money and send it where you are supposed to go. I don't think you should continue to go back. If you continue to go back, I think you will get into trouble. Those people should not be easy to mess with, I think If you tell me this, you must see that I am not an ordinary person. Tell me to kill those people, and if I guess right, you are waiting for such a person to appear in this market every day. In fact, the elderly have arrived. Just take a good rest for a while, isn't it?" Li Cong smiled and threw out five taels of silver to settle the bill and then went out. This old guy touched his head, really sweating.It turns out that people have already seen what is going on. There is a force behind this old guy, but they are not opponents of those outsiders, so their boss thought of such a way to let his subordinates here. Waiting for the high-ranking officials to come, as long as you encounter them, go up and tell them that he has already found several people, and those people are decisively going to trouble those outsiders, but those people are still the same in recent days. , Seems to be useless, but this old guy knows that Li is never from those people, Li Cong will definitely do it.

Seongnam?Such things happen in the poorest places in the city. Li Cong looked at the time, and he was going out of the city anyway. It's better to just find a place where no one is there and let his knife go. In the ring, and then in a bookstore, I spent 60,000 silver and bought a basic swordsmanship book. This is something used by third-level fighters. It can be said that Li is a whiteboard from now on. It is okay to learn this thing. Yes, just look for those profound ones later.

Li went to the south of the city from the time he was dressed up, who knew he saw Li Tie and Li Gang brothers before he left the city. These two guys were drinking happily, too. There was such a good thing. If I don’t have a lot of money, I’m so sorry for myself. Li Cong watched the brothers at the beginning, and he didn’t eat enough at the beginning, so I just passed by and sat down, and the two of them also felt Li Cong’s arrival. Very happy.

"What's the matter, Sixth, it hasn’t been long since we were separated. Why did we find it again, but there is nowhere to sleep in the city? Go to my brother. Although it is in Nancheng, it is still a good place. I can’t tell you to freeze, right?" Li Gang said with a smile, and he didn’t want to think that you are rich, but all of you have small heads, and Li Cong takes the big heads. How can you not find one to live in? Where is it?It's not because you are familiar with this area that I came to you.

"Pull it down, when did I miss you? It's like this, I hope you two can help me..." Li Cong simply said the matter again, and then took out the two kinds of knives to both of them. After taking a look, these two men also had anger on their faces. Weapons and pills are the second life of these fighters. If they reach the Warcraft Mountains with such weapons, they will definitely be looking for death. Those things don't care whether your weapons are good or bad, they will make killer moves when they come up, so people who do such things are really wicked.

"It's the first time we know about what you said. But those people are in the south and it's okay. Just leave the investigation information to my brother. When I look back, my brother will go with you to have a look. Such people must be What we want to kill is simply an ill-gotten gain. We are all fighters. If we bring this in, we really have to be incense if not eaten." The two Li Gang brothers are also very angry about this matter. , You must know that these people are too much.Such things can be done, it is simply disregarding the life and death of others, as a soldier, you must take care of such things.

"Wang Mazi, come here, there is a deal." At this time, a guy with a pocky face walked over. It seems that he should be a fifth-level fighter, but because this guy is old, it is impossible to go to the Warcraft Mountains. .I’ve been selling news around here, which looks pretty good.

"Hehe, Brother Gang, what can you take care of? I, Wang Mazi, dare not say anything else here, but this news is still okay, as long as it is what you need. I will go to the knife and go to the oil pot immediately to the two elder brother I got it, of course. This is for a small fee. Of course, this small amount of money is nothing to the net worth of the two elder brothers." Immediately a very wretched-looking guy came over. This guy was talking at another table and seemed to be promoting his own news.The businessman Li Cong had seen this kind of news. Li Gang came up and found this kid. It seems that this guy should have very good news in his hands.

"Hehe, don’t be bullshit. This is my brother. He has something to ask you. I know the news from you is good. Otherwise, I won’t look for you directly. We won’t lose any money for you. But this news must be accurate." Li Gang said with a smile. You can't chat with these people who buy and sell news. These people's lips are already perfect.

"Brother Gang said, when did the news from my Wang Mazi be inaccurate? I dare not say that I am the lowest in price, but I am definitely the best in accuracy. I don’t know this brother. What news do you want to ask?" The guy said proudly. Li Cong glanced at Li Gang, and when Li Gang nodded, he knew what the guy said should be true.

"That's it. I want to find some people. They are not locals. Recently, they are selling some weapons in the market in our city. They are deceptive weapons." Li Cong didn't go in circles, anyway, he came to buy news. I am not afraid that this guy will reveal his own news, but generally speaking, people who talk about these trading news are still okay. If it is leaked, it is estimated that no one will come to them in the future, of course. If these guys can see huge amounts of money, they will betray everything, let alone the news, even my own Lao Tzu is no exception.

When Wang Mazi heard Li Cong’s words, his face was obviously twitched. He hesitated and said, "Brother Gang, what kind of friend is this yours?" When he spoke, he naturally wanted to give Li Gang a favor, but they also I don't know what kind of friend this is. If it is an ordinary friend, it is better not to give too much of your favor.

"Fate friends, friends who were born and died with me in the Warcraft Mountains, you kid have something to say, don’t hesitate, these are all your own people, what are you doing with so much nonsense? He asked you where those people are. "Li Gang said impatiently, but it seems that something is going on here, so I still poured a glass of wine for this guy. The relationship between the two people is still okay. Otherwise, Li Gang will not come up and look for this guy. To know his news is very expensive.

"Since this is the case, then I'll just tell you, brother, are you fooled for buying and selling weapons? If that's the case, I don't think you can lose much. At most, it's only ten thousand dollars. You can't commit it. Those people are not us. This county is not even in our province. They buy and sell weapons are not the main reason. Although there will be a lot of profits, they pay more attention to the following things. No matter what, their force is very good. It’s tough, I hope you don’t get involved with it.” Wang Mazi is also very good at talking, and Li Cong’s curiosity is immediately pulled out, but he is a trader. People don't know how to talk about money.

"Go on, I want to know all the news of this organization." Li Cong took out a piece of fifty taels of gold, which is 500 taels for silver.It’s not bad to buy a piece of news like this. Wang Mazi looked at Huang Chengcheng’s gold. There was nothing useful about this news, so he gave him 500 vehicles. It seems that this is a really good customer. Yes, if you make friends with this enthusiast, your path will be much simpler in the future.

"That's it. These people came to our side two months ago, and you are also people who often mix in the Warcraft Mountains. You also know that a few people died inside, and there were a few more people who bought and sold things outside. They can’t get up, but things seem to have changed a little bit recently. These people have begun to engage in indiscriminate business, and relying on weapons to make money is just a small way for them. The purpose is to keep an eye on these people who buy their things. If these people enter the Warcraft Mountains, then their people will not be soft. They will see if you are a major customer when buying and selling. If you really are, they Don’t mind changing from buying and selling weapons to kidnapping. It’s said that the harvest these days has been pretty good. I also know that their boss is the Fire Rose, one of the big killer organizations.” Wang Mazi’s last sentence aroused After Li Cong's attention, he already knew that Cao Zheng was killed by Huo Rose's people. This Huo Rose's person also wanted to kill himself, but he was lucky.

"Haha. It's really interesting. If I guess right, people like me who bought 30 directly are probably the fat sheep in the eyes of these people. I think these people are good at each one. Those who are looking for a target, the first to buy such low-cost goods will not be very capable, even if it is very strong, they will be able to cope. But the fifth and sixth level fighters should be their first choice. If you go in, you will probably have millions of silver. They can get all of them by killing one. The profit is really not low. Are there many low-level fighters that have disappeared recently?" Li Cong thought about it and said, Li Gang and Li Tie just said At that time, I didn't feel that the matter was so serious, but let Li Cong analyze it like this.This thing is indeed very powerful. When they entered the Warcraft Mountains at least, they also had to have half a million silver coins. If these guys were robbed, everyone would have so many. This is definitely not a small amount. Yes, it is indeed very powerful.

"Sixth, I don't think this thing is that simple. We still have a long-term plan. Compared with them, our ability is still too weak. Wang Mazi, do you know what level of their masters are?" Li Cong thought of happiness, but Li Tie and the others did not think of this. They thought of Li Cong’s safety issue. Since the enemy can make such a big deal, how can there be no capable people sitting in town? Well, they know that Li Cong is very capable, but after all, he is just a good seed. He still has a certain distance from senior people, especially the magician. If there is no other person's cover, the magician is actually an attacker. The target, but if they knew that Li Cong had the peak strength of an eighth-level fighter, they might not have been so worried. Unfortunately, they didn't know this.

"Well, I just think about it. This matter can't be so overly self-reliant. If I go there alone, I guess it will really make people think about it. Thank you." Li Cong finished speaking and took out again. When an ingot of gold came, this guy took it away with a smile. In less than ten minutes, the whole kid made 1,000 taels of silver. Even if Li Cong didn’t care about the money, he looked at the kid making money easily. Can’t help but roll his eyes. If this kid can sell the news several times a day, although it is impossible to give 1,000 taels of silver like Li Cong, but 500 taels of silver is fine. This guy was in Warcraft before. People in the mountains are mixed up, and now it seems that people like this way are more moisturized than before. Li Gang and Li Tie are thinking about whether they can also mix in this business in a few years.

Now that I figured out that Li never stayed here for a long time, I asked them two things, and basically everything about the pill is obvious. Li Cong left a contact information of his own and told them to go when they need themselves. They found themselves and then left. The two of them knew that Li Cong was never a fool, and it was impossible to find these people just like that. They all understood that this was not something Li Cong could do, but Li Cong thought in his heart. The thing is that these people must be killed. They are just a murderous group. Now Li Cong already regards the southern provinces as his sphere of influence. If he does such a thing on his own territory, If you don't know it, it will be cheaper for you, but now that you know how can you have a happy life, you will definitely get rid of you and ask you all to try.

After leaving Li Tie and Li Cong, Li Cong bought some more things. He went back and asked Bai Er what was going on at their home. There was nothing to do. This one was about to leave the city. Before leaving, Li Cong found that two people were following him. It seems that these two people should be the people of that organization. They are indeed the same as Wang Mazi and others said. These people are really not simple. They invested a lot, but the investment is still compared with the harvest. Not worth mentioning.

Li Cong simply used the plan to see how well you guys are. Anyway, I haven’t moved my hands for a long time. It’s not bad to just have fun with you. I found a company that specializes in selling livestock. Li Cong spent a dozen. Huang Jin got an ordinary horse and walked out of the city, and the two men slowly followed. They have followed since Li bought the sword until now. They just said something to Wang Mazi. They don’t know, they are just first-class fighters. They are the outermost members of that organization. They have no other tasks. As long as they follow that person in the city, the rest is not what they need. Take care of it. When they left the city, the experts of their organization were watching at the gate of the city. When they saw Li Cong, the tasks of these two people were completed. In this way, they can track one person, whether it is a few days or a few. Moon, as long as you keep up, you can get one thousand taels of silver at the gate. The strength of this level fighter is a little stronger than ordinary people. It is not worth mentioning at all, so one thousand taels of silver It was very rare for them, each of them was happy in such a short time to get it, less than a day before and after, the two guys happily followed Li Cong to the gate of the city.(To be continued.
