Taoist priest in the foggy capital

Chapter 618: Gaotan

"Why not save her?"At this time, Luo Wei had not yet recovered from Jia Jingjing's death. Even though they were enemies, Jia Jingjing's level of danger was chilling. But seeing such a beauty die in such a graceful dance was like seeing a flower carved from ice crystals fall off from the fingertips and shatter, causing a great shock to the heart and mind. "I can't save her." Yin Xiu replied. I don’t know when, maybe during a conversation, or at the end of a stage play, Jia Jingjing swallowed the poison hidden between her teeth silently. It was not until Yin Xiu saw her take out the longevity lamp representing her soul that he reacted. But by then it was too late. Yin Xiu wiped his hands on a handkerchief, leaving a trace of scarlet, and walked to Dorothy, "I'll leave the rest to you, okay?" "Of course it should be me." Dorothy's eyes flushed red. She didn't know whether she should be angry or hold someone responsible. She just choked up and said, "Why did it end up like this?"

Yin Xiu didn't know how to comfort her, so he just patted Dorothy's shoulder and said, "Many things can't go on as we wish." Dorothy just lowered her head and didn't respond. Laura Fountain couldn't help but feel a little worried, and asked Dorothy softly, "Do you need me to leave a few men to help you?" Dorothy finally shook her head, "No need, the people from the Inquisition will take over." When Laura Fontaine really wanted to say something, Yin Xiu gently pulled her hand from behind. "It's time to go. We have other things to do." "But..." Laura Fonnna was still a little hesitant. Yin Xiu didn't care what she was hesitating about, he just hugged her and walked out without a care in the world. When they got on the carriage, Yin Xiucai let go of her hand, leaving Laura Fountain, with a red face, sulking aside. "You can't help." Yin Xiu took out the wine flask and took a sip. "She's already dead. What can we do? Dorothy is the one who can help her at this time. We can't." "So what should we do?" Laura Foner muttered. "You think we have nothing to do?" Yin Xiu glanced at her and said, "We have much more to do than others." "Like what?" Laura Fountain asked him. "For example, we should go find Harper Wright first. We need that bastard now." "Okay," Laura Fountain finally calmed down, lifted a corner of the car curtain and shouted to the outside, "Scrape that pilot named Wright out for me. No matter where he hides in Dunling, even in the sewer, pull him out with the cockroaches!" As soon as he finished speaking, the men in black scattered in all directions, like hounds into a dense forest. By evening, news had come back from the men in black that Harper Wright was in a tavern in Dunling.

When Yin Xiu and his friends arrived at the tavern, they saw Wright holding a plump woman in his arms, talking and laughing with her, with drunken eyes. Laura Fountain looked at Yin Xiu and asked if she wanted to observe first before going over. However, Yin Xiu did not have the time to wait. He simply walked over and pressed Wright's head on the table. Amid the woman's screams, Yin Xiu picked up ice water with his other hand and poured it on Wright's face. It was not until Wright was choking and coughing, feeling cold and uncomfortable, that Yin Xiu finally let him go. "Fuck you, you just drink all day long. No wonder you're so dumb and even got fired from the Aviation Bureau." Wright was inexplicably pressed on the table and had water splashed on his face. He was extremely angry and picked up a wine bottle to smash it at Yin Xiu. As soon as he raised his hand, he was pressed on the table by Yin Xiu again. "So it's you, big brother..." Only then did Wright recognize the identity of the person who came. How could he dare to vent his anger? He just smiled and said, "Brother, please tell me before you come. I will buy you a drink." It would have been fine if this had not been mentioned, but once this was mentioned, Yin Xiu could no longer suppress his anger. "Still drinking? I asked you to deliver a letter to Naples. It's a three-day journey, and you drank for four nights. You almost killed us all!" After hearing this, Wright realized that he almost got into big trouble. How could he dare to smile anymore? His scalp tingled, waiting to be beaten up by Yin Xiu. The disturbance caused by the two men in the tavern also attracted the thugs who were guarding the place. They were rubbing their hands, ready to teach the three people who didn't know the rules a lesson. "Brother, if you have any grudges, you should go outside to settle them. If you fight here, it will affect our business. Not only will you break things, but it will also scare the customers, which is not good, isn't it?" The leader of the thugs had a smile on his face, but his tone was full of threats. However, Luo Wei just glanced at him calmly and pulled out the police badge hidden in the inner pocket of his windbreaker to show it. The thug was stunned for a moment, then took a step back, "Investigating the case?" "None of your business." Luo Wei was indifferent, but Laura Fountain seemed somewhat enthusiastic. She took out a banknote from her pocket and handed it to the thug. "I'm sorry to bother you all tonight. We're just having fun among friends. I'll buy you a round of drinks. Can we just pretend nothing happened?" With such a beautiful woman proposing such a satisfying plan, who would object? Everyone cheered immediately, put away their idle inclinations to watch the fun, and immersed themselves in alcohol again. Yin Xiu and Wright had indeed sat down at the table "happily". "Speaking of which," Yin Xiu put his arm around his shoulders, "there is something I need your help with." "You are my eldest brother," Wright said in awe. "Just tell me what you want to do. I will serve you even if it means my life is in vain." "It doesn't have to be so extreme, but I'm satisfied that you can say that." Yin Xiu originally wanted to pour him a glass of wine to help him calm down. But thinking of Wright's previous performance, he just poured him a glass of ice water. "The airship that took me to Dunling, is it still there?"

"Of course I have it parked in a factory in Dunling, and the designers there are always circling it around, asking me where on earth I got such a monstrosity. It has several large propellers installed outside, which will spit fire and make a huge roar when they rotate, which is so loud that people will cover their ears. " Wright's eyes sparkled when he mentioned it. “I really didn’t expect that Li Zixiong would design and create such a monster in Hong Kong Island. He should take this thing to the exhibition. Those judges and scientists would definitely call him a mechanical madman if they saw him!" "I know I know." Yin Xiu motioned him not to get so excited, "I mean, can we use that thing to fly somewhere else?" "where to?" "Go to Gaotan." Yin Xiu replied. "Gaotan?" Wright was finally stunned for a moment, "You are not talking about Gaotan in North America, the financial center of the New World?" "That's it." Yin Xiu nodded, "Next, I want to go to Gaotan, the famous dark city in North America. Can I go?" Unexpectedly, Wright waved his hands and said, "Brother, this is not a distance that an airship can reach. We have to cross many vast oceans. Only ships can cross this distance." As he said this, he seemed afraid that Yin Xiu might not understand, and opened his hands exaggeratedly. "Just like this, Dunling is on this side, Gaotan is on the other side. No matter whether you go this way or that way, both sides are extremely far away from each other, separated by the entire Atlantic Ocean! Columbus and Magellan, do you know that when they arrived in America, half of the people in the fleet had already died. "We are no longer the same as the navigators of that era." Yin Xiu smiled, "Don't we have the super steel monster designed by Brother Xiong? As long as that thing can fly, all problems will be solved." "Yet the stories of Columbus and Magellan are in the textbooks." Wright still did not give up. "Besides, I am not saying this to discourage you, but Magellan did not return to Europe alive. This is clearly written in the book." "Have you seen Around the World in Eighty Days?" Yin Xiu also quoted from the classics, "They didn't have such powerful means of transportation and skills as us, but they still traveled around the world in 80 days, didn't they?" "But we are not betting with anyone," Wright said distressedly. "We are not going to bet with anyone, but to fight." Yin Xiu patted his shoulder and said, "This is much more dangerous than betting. Wright, don't say so much. I just want to ask you, can the airship take off?" "Well……" Although he wanted to refuse, Wright suddenly remembered that he was the only pilot Yin Xiu knew here. And even if he wanted to run away, with the skills of the two people in front of him, he would never be able to escape.

So he gave up all his worries and said dejectedly: "It's possible, but it will cost a lot of money." "a lot of money?" Seeing that Yin Xiu finally had doubts, Wright's hope was rekindled. "Yes, a lot of money, fuel, spare parts, various parts that need to be reinstalled, fuel to and from, all of this costs money." "How much?" Luo Wei has already taken out a pen and paper, ready to start settling the accounts. "Well, it should be at least 190,000. After all, once that thing starts, the black smoke it spews out can turn Dunling's day into night." [You guys have to change your approach now. ] "If you take the ferry, it only costs two hundred dollars per person, including food and lodging." Seeing Rowe put the paper and pen back into his pocket, Wright's smile remained subtle. However, Laura Foner quickly made the smile disappear. "It's only 190,000. I thought it was 900,000." She shrugged it off and wrote a check and handed it to Wright. "Here is 200,000. If it's not enough, you don't need to ask me. Go to the bank in Dunling and tell me my name. The manager there can give you 1 million at any time." Wright was stunned. He never expected that two hundred thousand was just a trivial number to Laura Fonnna. To the point that I completely ignored the one million amount she mentioned later. You have to know that he drank three glasses of wine here tonight, and made an appointment with the woman to play the second half of the friendly match. Including various expenses, he only spent five dollars in total. Holding the huge sum of money that he had never received in his life, Wright's heart was filled with emotion. Of course, Laura Fountain also sensed this and took a sip of Yin Xiu's whiskey. "You took my money, so you have to do your job and send the person over properly. Otherwise, I can find you in the tavern in Dunling tonight, and I can meet you somewhere else next time. Do you understand?" "Of course I know, of course I know." Sweat dripped from Wright's forehead. Although he didn't know Laura Fountain's true identity, he was overwhelmed by her aura. When he was about to say something, Yin Xiu had already stood up with Laura Fountain and Luo Wei. "Brother, would you like something to drink?" “No need,” Yin Xiu glanced at him, “Drinking all day is not good for your brain!” "Remember to get the airship ready quickly. Don't take too long. We are in a hurry. Also..." At this point, Yin Xiu glanced at the plump woman standing not far away and reminded Wright: "Remember to use a condom!" "I always use two, don't worry, brother."

When walking back to the carriage, Laura Fonnna no longer had the cold aura she had before. She complained, "Why do you want to go so far? You knew I couldn't go with you. Although there are no restrictions on my movements, I can only walk within the borders of Europe. If you run to America, aren't you just leaving me here?" "Then why are you paying for us?" Yin Xiu smiled and said, "If you don't want us to go, you don't have to pay the money." "Because you were going to go." Laura Fountain was furious and glared at Yin Xiu again, "That was your plan, wasn't it? You were going to go, no matter what method you used. Since there is a much faster way, why don't I spend the money to send you there? I'm not short of money." "Yes Yes Yes." Yin Xiu nodded repeatedly, "In Dunling, who can be richer than Laura Fona Sophia von Nicolas from the Nicolas family?" Hearing Yin Xiu read her full name, Laura Fountain blushed, still angrily said: "Do you think that praising a lady who is already rich as "rich" can make her happy again and soothe her wounded heart?" "I didn't mean that." Yin Xiu grinned, "I just want to say that I am very grateful to you. Because of you, this problem was solved. Otherwise, I am afraid we would have to think of other ways." "Humph, who told you that you only know how to fight and never invest?" Although she was still unforgiving in her words, there was a smile on Laura Fonnna's face. "After you go to Gaotan, will you come back?" "decide as things go." Yin Xiu scratched his face, "Because I don't know what I will face next, and even after Gaotan solves the problem, I still have to go back to Jiuzhou." "Then wouldn't we..." Laura Fontaine felt a little angry again, but after a pause, she remembered that she was a vampire. Vampires have long lifespans. Tens, dozens, or even hundreds of years are just a blink of an eye for her. She doesn't need to feel sad about separation. She can just wait in Dunling. Maybe Yin Xiu will come back one day. Thinking of this, she felt more and more that she had to keep the Persian vase well. (End of this chapter)
