Chapter 45: 3 ghost coins, a friend is visiting?Chapter 45 Three ghost coins, a friend is coming to visit?
Zhang Xiaodao realized that the other party was not trying to trick him, so he opened his eyes and saw his current situation clearly.

Judging from the surrounding environment, she was now in the carriage of a horse-drawn carriage, but she had no idea what the situation was outside.

At this time, there were only her and the tavern owner in the carriage.

Looking at Zhang Xiaodao who was alert, the tavern owner smiled and said, ”Don’t be nervous. I knocked you out before because some of the arrangements are not suitable for outsiders to see. It’s all for safety reasons. You should understand, right?”

”Where am I now?” Zhang Xiaodao asked.

”It’s no longer in Dujuan City. Don’t worry, the Gentlemen’s Club is indeed deeply rooted here, but it’s still a long way to go before they can snatch people from us.” The tavern owner shook his head and smiled.

”What gentleman’s club?” Zhang Xiaodao pretended to be confused.

”I understand your caution, but since Xiao Su is willing to spend three ghost coins as a reward for you, I will definitely send you to a safe place. There is really no need for you to be so suspicious.” said the tavern owner.

”Three ghost coins?”

”Don’t you know? I was too nosy. You can ask her yourself when you have a chance. Anyway, you are safe now.” The tavern owner shrugged.

Zhang Xiaodao had actually reacted by this time and realized that he might have misunderstood.

The reason why the other party knocked her out before was probably because he was afraid that she would see some of Guituimo’s arrangements in Dujuan City. After all, she was an outsider.

It is not difficult to hear from the tavern owner’s words just now that the path arranged by Su Xueqi for her must have come at a certain price, but this price was some kind of exchange of interests within Guituimo.

But even though Su Xueqi had paid the price for her in advance, she was not someone who could do anything she wanted.

They couldn’t let her see too many arrangements. Otherwise, even if they sent her out, they probably wouldn’t feel comfortable letting her leave like that.

Therefore, the best way is undoubtedly to make her lose consciousness for a while.

When she woke up, everything was settled.

Just like it is now.

”Thank you very much.” Zhang Xiaodao, realizing that he had misunderstood, said to the tavern owner.

”No, there’s nothing to thank me for. I saved you for those three coins. You don’t owe me anything.” The tavern owner shook his head at first, but then asked, ”But if you really feel sorry, you can tell me how you offended the Gentlemen’s Club and made them go to so much trouble to find you that they even issued a wanted order?”

”You don’t know?” Zhang Xiaodao was a little surprised.

”Should I know?” The tavern owner was also stunned for a moment, and then he understood why Zhang Xiaodao asked this question, and laughed dumbly, ”Do you think Xiao Su told me about your situation?”

”There’s none?”

”Of course not.” The tavern owner shook his head. ”The reason I know it was the Gentlemen’s Club that was looking for you is because they have no secrets under our noses, not to mention they made such a big fuss.”

Zhang Xiaodao nodded to show that he understood, and after thinking for a while, he said, ”Then can I not answer this question?”

”That’s absolutely no problem. I’m just curious. It’s your freedom to tell me or not. You don’t owe me anything.” The tavern owner raised his hands to show that he had no other intentions and was just curious.

”Anyway, thank you for your help.” Zhang Xiaodao said again.

”No problem. Just remember to ask Xiao Su to give me a good review.” The tavern owner said with a smile, ”Then you can take a rest first. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Zhang Xiaodao nodded and leaned against the side of the carriage.

At this moment, she finally let go of her worry.

”I don’t know if Uncle Ji met that little fox. I bled a lot to save her this time.” Su Xueqi complained.

Next to Su Xueqi, who else could it be but Rorschach? Three days had passed since Rorschach and Rex arrived at the Mountain Capital, and the Iron Wall Caravan arrived half a day earlier than originally expected.

Since the previous replacement ended much earlier than Rorschach and his team had expected, before this replacement started, Rorschach had already told Su Xueqi where he was staying in the Mountain Capital.

After Su Xueqi and her group arrived at the Mountain Capital, such a large group of people naturally could not afford to stay in the high-end hotel that Luo Xia and his group stayed in, so the only option was to choose one that was relatively close.

After Luo Xia sensed through the master-slave mark that Su Xueqi had arrived in the mountain capital, he went straight to find her.

As for Rex, the cheap teacher, he has often disappeared since arriving in the Mountain Capital, and no one knows what subversive plan he is carrying out.

In fact, to be honest, Rex can now be said to be the number one traitor in the Storm Empire!
Rorschach only hoped that Rex could be more reliable and not be suppressed too early, lest he, his cheap disciple, be dragged into the affair.

But for now, he was happy without Rex.

Listening to Su Xueqi’s complaints in his mind, Luo Xia couldn’t help but ask, ”Who is Uncle Ji?”

”He’s the owner of the Dreamland Tavern that I asked her to go to. His real name is Jixiang, and he’s the boss of our company in Sanhai Province.”

Su Xueqi explained in her mind, ”He is a veteran of the company. It is said that he is of the same generation as several of our company’s founders. It’s just that he is too lazy and gradually became the head of a branch in Dayan.”

”However, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. His strength is not comparable to that of the bosses of ordinary branches. For example, Tong Baibai, the old hermaphrodite, is definitely not his opponent.”

Su Xueqi was obviously unhappy when she talked about Tong Baibai, and her words undoubtedly carried a personal grudge.

Of course Luo Xia knew that Tong Baibai was the first person in charge of Guituimo’s Tianbei branch, and also the general manager of the branch - Mr. Tong.

This was also a person Rorschach had only heard of.

However, judging from Su Xueqi’s attitude, Tong Baibai is obviously not someone who can be easily dealt with.

As for Uncle Ji mentioned by Su Xueqi, since he is of the same generation as the founder of Guituimo, he must have some abilities.

The reason why Su Xueqi used the word ”reduced” to describe the other party must be relative.

After all, Dayan has seventy-two provinces, and Guitui Mo has branches in more than twenty provinces, which also means there are more than twenty branch bosses.

At the same time, although Guituimo was founded in Dayan, its sphere of influence has long since spread to the whole world.

Around the world, there are at least fifty positions similar to the branch boss of a single province.

This does not include some of the senior executives in other positions.

As for the position of branch boss alone, his internal status in Guituimo is probably not even in the top 50, which is indeed a decline for a veteran.

However, with such a person as a helper, Zhang Xiaodao’s safety will not be a problem.

He no longer had to worry about his plan failing prematurely.

As the two were talking, they had already returned to the hotel where Rorschach and his friends were staying. At this time, the familiar waitress had come over and said to Rorschach with a smile on her face: ”Mr. Rorschach, your friend came to the hotel to look for you earlier. Since you were not there, I asked you to pass this letter to you.”

As she spoke, she took out a letter from her bosom.

”My friend?” Rorschach took the letter calmly and said to the waitress, ”Thank you very much.”

”You’re welcome. It’s my duty.” The waitress said with a smile.

Luo Xia didn’t say much. He took Su Xueqi to the side, opened the envelope, and quickly glanced at the contents of the letter.
