In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

Then there is only one possibility, and it is a kind of test just like asking to help solve the plight of the Chamber of Commerce.

Xia Tian is not a quest maniac, and he doesn't get experience points and rough stones after completing it, so he doesn't bother to advance layer by layer!

"Haha." Thomas looked embarrassed when he was caught. Before he could speak, he heard footsteps approaching, as well as the unique sound of armor rubbing against the shogunate Ashgaru.

"Hello, we are surveying and pursuing, who is Your Excellency Xia?"

Compared with Keijiro and Katsuie, the two samurai in Inazuma's military uniform looked more qualified, like the guards next to some important person.

Thomas immediately judged it, and purposely leaned into Xia Tian's ear and said, "It's a celebrity after all, someone came to curry favor so soon."

He also took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Xia Tian: "This invitation letter is for you... When you come to Narugami Island, you can find me at the "Wooden Leak Tea Room" according to the above. "

After finishing speaking, he politely gave up his seat, stood aside with a smile on his face, and put on a look of farewell.

It seems that this guy really didn't prepare a "passport", he had to rely on himself!

Xia Tian put the letter into his arms: "I am Xia Tian."

The two ashigaru respectfully invited: "Hello, we have been ordered by the Kanding Magistrate to invite you to the "Phoshin Mansion" for a gathering. "

Maybe it's a way to get the "Pass Pass", and I also want to see what kind of person this Mr. Feng Xing is, whether he knows about the corruption under his opponent, and...

It was the order of "Princess Egret" for Thomas to come to the outlying island for reception, so what is the purpose of the invitation of Mr. Feng Xing?Is it really for curry favor?

In short, there is no reason for rejection.

Since the establishment of the Outlying Islands, the main office of Fengxing Mansion has been moved here, so you can see this super large house nearby.

It is not only the government office, but also the residence of the Hiiragi family.

It was getting late, Xia Tian walked fast, but was blocked by the guards outside the door: "Stop, this is the Kanding Enforcement Office, no one else is allowed to enter!"

"I'm here to see Kan Ding Xing Xing!"

Xia Tian spoke the truth, but was treated by the guards as those nonsense foreign businessmen on weekdays: "Master Kan Ding Xing does not usually receive foreigners, go away, or we will..."

About to reveal the weapon, only heard the anxious old man's voice from the house, and a few panting: "Hey, wait, wait a minute..."

The gatekeeper immediately stood at attention: "Ah, Mr. Feng Xing!"

Gray hair, even beard and eyebrows are dyed together, dressed in a brown male kimono, although old, but very energetic.

It seems that this old man is Shinsuke Hiiragi who was appointed to pursue the mission.

"This is a distinguished guest from afar, don't use the same old routine!"

Hiiragi Shinsuke scolded those guards first, then smiled all over his face, looking at Xia Tian kindly: "Come on, let's come in and talk."

The guard bowed his head and apologized repeatedly: "No, I'm very sorry."

And Xia Tian has followed Hiiragi Shinsuke in, watching the scenery of this mansion left and right, it is big but not empty, with green leaves and red flowers, there are many fake mountains and fake waters, it can be seen that the owner of the house has good taste, he should not be corrupted by money .

For some reason, the distinguished guests were treated with such a respectful attitude, but they were not invited to the back room, but sat down in the gazebo outside.

Maybe the back room is too cold?There is a fleeting coolness in summer.

Hiiragi Shinsuke ordered people to light candles, and prepared tea and snacks. Xia Tian ate two pieces first, and they tasted good.

Seeing that the guests were hungry, Hiiragi Shinsuke asked someone to prepare some hot dishes to fill their stomachs, and the hospitality was quite thoughtful.

"I'm Shinsuke Hiiragi, appointed to be the head of the Hiiragi family. It's an honor to meet you."

"Am I well-known in Dao Wife?" Xia Tian didn't understand why this Master Feng Xing was so respectful.

Hiiragi Shinsuke replied: "Of course! How many mortals are there in the world who can defeat the Wind Demon Dragon and suppress the Demon God of the Whirlpool? He also destroyed the plans of the Fools in Liyue Port and defeated their executive officers. The only one in all these years!"

Defeating the Wind Demon Dragon and suppressing the Demon God of the Whirlpool, this is something that cannot be concealed.

But destroying the plans of the fools and defeating their executive officers... Few people know about this matter. Who would know so well and bring the news to Dao Wife?

Ying?She did know, but it was impossible for Ying to tell the old man.

Xia Tian took a sip of tea and asked, "You...how did you know that I defeated the executive officers of "their"? "

Hiiragi Shinsuke avoided answering: "Haha, this kind of prestige can't be hidden, I admire it from the bottom of my heart!"

Old fox!

Xia Tian deliberately used "them" to refer to the fools, just because he wanted to see Hiiragi Shinsuke's answer, but he was avoided directly.

But... avoiding it is also an answer!

Combined with what we know before, the crystallized bone marrow they collected is the material needed by the Winter Kingdom...

It is certain that Inazuma's only access to the outside world, "Outlying Islands" and the "Kanding Pursuit" that manages outlying islands, have colluded with fools!

Chapter 650 The Cold Breath of the Old Man

Facing this secretive and dishonest old fox, Xia Tian knew that he couldn't dig out too much information, so he didn't want to communicate any more.

He said directly: "I came to Inazuma to find a friend on "Narukami Island", and I also hope that Mr. Kanding can give you a certificate to enter and exit the outlying island. "

It is not difficult to get out of the outlying islands without this so-called pass.

But traveling in Daozuma is like a black household without an ID card, and the outside is under strict investigation. When encountering strangers from other places, they will ask to show their ID cards.

Xia Tian didn't want to experience the life of a wanted criminal, so he still wanted to get this official pass as much as possible.

Hiiragi Shinsuke squinted his eyes, and the smile lines were clearly visible: "Of course, it is an honor for you to come to Inazuma without any injuries. We should send the travel permit immediately, but—"

The word "but" shows that things are not that simple.

Sure enough, Hiiragi Shinsuke, who was full of smiles, began to express his embarrassment: "There are regulations on the outlying islands. Foreigners who want to obtain a pass must make contributions to the outlying islands... This is also to prevent unscrupulous traders from hindering the survival of Inazuma's local businessmen."

He also drew lessons from the past: "Like Liyue, the famous golden port, it is because of insufficient protection for local businessmen that so many banks are on the verge of bankruptcy... Sigh!"

He let out a long and heavy sigh, quite hypocritical as if a rabbit died and a fox was sad.

Although Xia Tian belongs to the time traveler, he also holds Li Yue's household registration book, and he still feels a little uncomfortable when he hears that "Motherland" is being ridiculed outside.

Asking for someone, I didn't show it immediately, but asked instead: "I don't know what contribution is required to obtain a pass? Is it to pay taxes?"

If it is a regulation set up for businessmen, then under normal circumstances it is generally based on the amount of taxes, and combined with the previous number view that you dare to ask for 100 million moras for registration, if you want to achieve a contribution value that meets the standards, you may not get eight or nine. Digits gone!

However, Hiiragi Shinsuke smiled and shook his hand: "Haha, my little brother has been in Liyue in the "Land of Mora" for a long time, and he may be used to trading money by ear...but in Inazuma, money has never been the first consideration in our survey and pursuit. s things!What we care more about is the sincerity of foreigners towards Dao's wife. "

Putting on a very lofty air, and taking the opportunity to step on Liyue... Did this old fox suffer from Liyue when he was young?It seems that everything is aimed at Liyue.

But no matter what he said, his attitude was always gentle: "Your Excellency is a great hero. I wonder if you can condescend to do some small things for us? This way we can go through the motions and prepare the pass for you."

All in all, in short, it means to complete the task first.

And his respect and Chen Ken made Xia Tian almost let go of his vigilance: "Say it!"

"Hehe, you are indeed a great hero, and you are really happy to agree."

"I haven't agreed yet, I have to listen first, what kind of commissions are you talking about?"

"Don't worry, it's all small things..." Hiiragi Shinsuke touched his gray beard, and said what he thought was a "simple" request: "Qingxin, you know? It's the kind of plant that grows on the top of Liyue Mountain... I need a batch recently, can you get me [-] fresh Qingxin plants? Your Excellency has great powers, I think..."

I have thought that the difficulty of the task is not low, but I have never thought that it will be such a request that is almost deliberately difficult.

Not to mention the number of [-] plants, but also specifically mentioning that they are "fresh"... Traveling through thunderclouds and thunderstorms, going to high mountains to collect, and returning with fresh ones, I am afraid that only people who can teleport can do it!

Don't murmur in my heart: If I can teleport, do I still need to ask you for a pass?

Xia Tian immediately frowned, remained silent, and his face was filled with unhappiness.

Hiiragi Shinsuke has managed outlying islands for so many years, and has dealt with so many businessmen.

Xia Tian's dissatisfaction was completely expected, so he changed his words embarrassingly, and changed to a relatively simple task.

"It's a bit troublesome, isn't it... Well, that's it, how about some letters on the island that need to be delivered, can you help me?"

"How many."

"Seven hundred and nine in total."

Xia Tian noticed something was wrong, and the number was surprising. Although it wasn't particularly large, but he was not familiar with the place, it would take at least four or five days to deliver all of them, and the day lily would be cold by then.

I was upset, but instead of arguing or vetoing, I replied decisively: "I'll think about it first."

I thought there would be quarrels and rebuttals, Hiiragi Shinsuke also prepared persuasive words, but I didn't expect Xia Tian to be so calm, so I couldn't help but look at him differently.

If it wasn't for that adult's order, I would be willing to make this little friend... If it can be used by the Hiiragi family, wouldn't it be a good talent!

In this way, he did not want to offend you with any more words, and retired with a smile: "As expected of a great hero from a foreign country, then I will wait for news from you, haha..."

When pulling out the gazebo, he still did not forget to ask for credit and said: "I have ordered you to go down, no one will dare to trouble you in the outlying islands, you can rest assured to stay in the outlying islands for a while longer."

This sentence is almost tantamount to making it clear that they don't want to go to Naruto Island in summer.

Xia Tian stared at Hiiragi Shinsuke's back, thoughtfully.

In terms of attitude, Hiiragi Shinsuke can be said to be very respectful. As a big man in "Surveying and Pursuing", in this area far from the emperor, if you don't want someone to leave, you can directly detain them with an official document. There is no need to be so gentle. .

This old fox is used to fawning over people, probably because he doesn't want to conflict with me, but the two commissions he gave are so demanding that it is almost impossible to complete them in a short time.

The key point is that these two things are just to show the intention of evasion. Even if it is completed, more reasons will be found to hinder it later.

I have no grievances or enmities with Kanding Fengxingfu. Even if I am a little famous, I am still an ordinary person with blind eyes. I don’t want to be so wary, and what he does is completely contrary to his attitude towards others...

Someone specifically asked him to trap me on an outlying island, right?

"Well……"

I have used my strength and my brain today, but I still have dinner and supper. I am really hungry in summer.

I don't have a good impression of "Kanding Fengxing Mansion" and "Master Fengxing", but their chefs are really good. They eat very happily in summer, and almost wiped out all the "hot dishes", "cold dishes" and "snacks" they prepared.

During this period of energy replenishment, I noticed that there were always a pair of eyes looking at me from a distance.

She is a dignified young girl, similar in appearance to that Mr. Mahogany, accompanied by two very respectful servants, probably Ms. Hiiragi, right?

She looked at this side, stretched out her hand and retracted it several times, as if it was inconvenient to speak because there was a servant by her side.

What does she want from me?

After Xia Tian finished eating, he originally wanted to leave the Fengxing Mansion just like this, to see if he could capture Thomas back and force him to give the pass, but if it didn't work, he directly took Princess Bailu's fan.

Looking at that ashigaru's polite appearance today, I don't need to think about it to know that the fan must be much more powerful than any pass!

But noticing Miss Hiiragi's expression, he chose to stay a little longer, taking advantage of the time when the lady was looking for a reason to send the servant away, he quietly touched up and chatted with him.

"Do you need me?"

Xia Tian's sudden appearance startled Miss Hiiragi's family, she quickly patted her chest and said, "Hey! You...you are really Miss Ying's friend, you are really amazing."

"You know Ying?"

"Well, thanks to Miss Ying for helping me deliver the letter..."

The lady from the Hiiragi family smiled and saluted very gracefully: "Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Hiiragi Chisato, please take care of me."

"My name is Xia Tian... Ying will help you deliver the letter?" Xia Tian joked: "You and your father are indeed father and daughter, do you both like people to deliver letters?"

Hiiragi Qianli covered her mouth and chuckled lightly: "Hehe."

It took a short while to explain.

"Yes... there is no other way."

"Mr. Kamji and I have been close friends since childhood, but my father has always opposed our relationship. He must have better expectations for my marriage partner in politics, but I only have Mr. Kamji in my heart ..."

"No one in the outlying islands can disobey my father's will, so I entrusted Ms. Ying to help deliver the letter to convey my friendship. I also received a reply recently. I am very grateful..."

"..."

It roughly talked about how to help Ying get out of the outlying island, disguised as a delivery person, and got a pass.

And Xia Tian was surprised by the bravery of this young lady, few girls could express their admiration so straightforwardly, and in such a big family, there were very few girls who dared to resist the elder's decision.

But one thing is very strange, Xia Tian asked: "'Tian Ling Feng Xing' has a high status, don't you match well with their second young master?Why is your father uneven? "

Talking about this matter, Hiiragi Qianli hesitated to speak: "Father wants me to be with Zhidong even more... Maybe he is waiting for a better marriage partner!"

The solstice...the part that didn't say the whole thing should be "the kingdom of solstice", right?Looking at it this way, the relationship between Kanding Pursuing and Fools is not just cooperation, but also eager to get closer...

If you think in a bolder direction, then this is a big sin.

Without conclusive evidence, it's not easy to speculate.

After listening to the story from half a month ago, Xia Tian asked with some expectation: "Last time, you helped Ying, can you help me again? I want to get a pass to find her on Narugami Island."

There is still a lot of hope, if you can't help, then what's the point of this young lady looking for her?Just to tell her that she met Ying, and then find someone more to talk about her relationship with?
