Chapter 427: First hearing about the place of exile
Jiang Youning curled her lips, showing great disdain for this kind of behavior despite clearly wanting to ask for something from someone, but yet she still had to put on a condescending expression.
Either you can be arrogant to the end, or you can be begging for help.
"You don't know?" Lord Tianqing glanced at Jiang Youning differently, as if he didn't expect her to ask such a question.
"What should I know?" Jiang Youning frowned.
Lord Tianqing looked at the steward next to him and asked, "Didn't you tell me?"
The housekeeper cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Sir, I thought they knew."
"This is the second time. If you don't want to take the position of housekeeper, some people want to take your place." Lord Tianqing took a deep breath and said angrily.
Hearing this, the housekeeper quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Lord City Lord, please calm down. Lord City Lord, please calm down."
The butler's head hit the ground again and again, making a "bang bang bang" sound, which showed how hard he was exerting himself.
The time in the morning could also be explained as the mistake of the people below, but this time, no one else intervened from beginning to end.
Seeing that the housekeeper's head was bleeding from the knock, the Lord Tianqing waved his hand and said, "I won't do this again."
Then he looked at Jiang Youning and the others, and said, "The reason why we invite you here this time is for the affairs of the Exiled Land."
Exile?
Jiang Youning and Qiu Yue's eyes flashed with confusion. They had never heard of this place.
However, although they had never heard of it, the two of them did not show it, but showed a look of understanding, waiting for the next words from Lord Tianqing.
Because of what happened before, after Tianqing City Lord finished speaking, he also specially observed the expressions of Jiang Youning and Qiu Yue. They were calm and did not show any surprise, as if they had heard a normal person. The news is the same.
On the contrary, several other people had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Seeing their reactions, Lord Tianqing's expression became arrogant again. This should be the correct reaction.
As for the other two people, judging from their reactions, they probably didn't know where the Exiled Place was, so they acted so calmly.
"I have a few pass tokens for the Exiled Lands here."
As soon as Lord Tianqing finished speaking, several maids walked in. There were six maids in total. Each of them held a tray in their hands, with a token that exuded a primitive atmosphere placed on it.
Compared to the surprise and excitement of the others, Jiang Youning was quite calm.
Even though she didn't know exactly what the place of exile was at the beginning, judging from the reactions of several other people, there should be some kind of opportunity in this place of exile.
She didn't know about the others, but Qiu Yue and the Azure City Lord met for the first time today. As soon as they met, they offered such a precious quota, and no one would believe it if they said there was nothing fishy in it.
She did not take the token immediately, but looked at Lord Tianqing, "What do you want us to do? Or, what is the price for this token?"
Danger and opportunity coexist, and the name of Exiled Land is not easy to mess with at first sight.
Hearing this, Lord Tianqing thought of his experience in the morning, looked at Jiang Youning again, and decided to tell his purpose straight to the point. "I need you to find for me a fairy grass called Spirit-Gathering Grass from the Land of Exile."
"The Spirit-Gathering Grass, isn't it used to refine the Spirit-Gathering Pill? You can find this kind of thing in any store, so why are you still looking for it?" Qiu Yue frowned.
She felt that Lord Tianqing was just playing tricks on them. Is it still necessary to look for things like the Spirit-Gathering Grass?
After hearing this, City Master Tianqing was not angry, but patiently explained, "The quality of the Spirit-Gathering Grass on the market is just ordinary mysterious medicine, and what I am looking for is the Immortal Spirit-Gathering Grass."
Having said this, the eyes of Lord Tianqing burst out with strong desire and ambition.
Seeing this, Jiang Youning thought that the Lord of Tianqing City, whom the housekeeper had said before, was just an ordinary person. Although he was the Lord of a city, mortals were still mortals, and there was no mortal who did not aspire to become a cultivator.
It can be said that Jiang Youning has a very good understanding of the inner activities and desires of the Azure City Lord. After all, they had the same problem once upon a time.
Looking back on that time, it was comfortable. After all, she had an invincible and powerful brother. No one dared to provoke her, and they even had to please her.
But just because of his brother's existence, what those people said behind his back would only become more unpleasant.
It's not that Jiang Youning doesn't know some things, she just can ignore them. She spent a lot of energy to prevent her mentality from collapsing.
Ignoring what happened before, Jiang Youning is actually willing to help Lord Tianqing, but... she still needs to make things clear.
"How come the Lord of the City is so sure that there is immortal grass-quality Spirit-Gathering Grass in the Land of Exile?" Jiang Youning asked.
City Lord Tianqing did not answer this question immediately, but said, "I have my own source of information. The spirit-gathering grass of fairy grass quality does exist in the Exiled Land. As long as you can bring it back, I am willing to give it to you." All my net worth as payment.”
The entire wealth of the lord of a city is a big temptation for anyone.
After all, Lord Tianqing is just an ordinary person, which means that she cannot use many things belonging to immortal cultivators, and most of these things have been put into the warehouse by her.
"One more question, why did you choose us?" Jiang Youning asked her doubts.
Logically speaking, as the Lord of Tianqing City, he has the financial resources to hire a powerful mercenary group to find the Spirit-Gathering Grass for him, instead of cobbling together a temporary team like now.
"Those people are too selfish, and they are arrogant and conceited. If you hand things over to them, they will be beaten up by meat buns and never come back." The Lord of Azure City said with dark eyes.
Jiang Youning clearly saw the fear in her eyes. Daqing felt that the people in the mercenary group were difficult to control, so she chose people like them who were just starting out but had some strength.
One of the common problems of those in power is their strong desire for control. Especially when the Lord Tianqing is in a weak situation, he will concentrate all the power in his own hands because it will bring her security. feel.
However, because you were worried that you couldn't control it, you gave up on the mercenary group that seemed more reliable to you and chose them.
Jiang Youning felt that this person's desire for power had probably reached the point of paranoia, otherwise he would never have done such an irrational thing.
At this moment, a voice sounded in her ear, "Promise her."
