Chapter 148: Mine Tunnel and Bandits
A small port somewhere in the north of Mingyun Town.
Qian San took a brush and brushed the hair of the bay horse and black horse that were grazing leisurely. The weather was getting warmer, and the brush could take down a lot of horse hair every time it swept.
"Why do I feel that this horse seems to be fatter?"
Qian San stretched out his hand and scratched the neck of the bay horse, muttering a little puzzledly, could it be that Chen Tianfeng only kept the bay horse during his visit to Mondstadt, but didn't ride it at all?
He thought about it, but couldn't come up with an answer, so he didn't bother to think about it.
After brushing the two horses, Qian San put down the brush and sat down on the stone next to the port, sorting out the information in his mind while waiting for Chen Tianfeng and Ye Lan.
The last time I received the news, Brother Chen and Boss Ye Lan were heading to the last monster gathering point to clean up the monsters. Calculating the time, they should be here today.
According to the brothers who were watching the monsters and waiting for the boss Ye Lan to clean them up, the two of them were a little unfamiliar with each other when they first cleaned up the monsters, but they soon became tacitly in sync, and even had a whole set of extremely smooth processes:
Take a boat to the island, find the monster, Chen Tianfeng roared, holding a knife or clenching a fist, and attracted the monster's hatred to himself. Ye Lan walked around, looking for the right opportunity, and shot an arrow directly at the vital point, sending the monster to rebirth or returning to the earth vein.
Sometimes Chen Tianfeng would create opportunities for Ye Lan.
For example, one time the monster they wanted to clear out was a ruins guard. The two thick and heavy iron arms danced like a windmill, covering the body for several meters. Large rocks could be smashed, not to mention people - ordinary people would basically be injured or killed if they were touched.
However, Chen Tianfeng was different. After meeting the ruins guard, he didn't even draw his knife. He rushed forward and took a punch from the ruins guard. Then he held the ruins guard's arm and swung the ruins guard like a windmill... In the end, he dragged the half-crippled body of the ruins guard and signaled Ye Lan to shoot an arrow at its big eyeball.
It is said that Ye Lan was silent for a long time. On the way to the next monster point, he talked with Chen Tianfeng in the boat and changed this "cooperation" method.
It's really scary. Brother Chen is so strong... Qian San secretly rejoiced that he was calm enough when he first met Chen Tianfeng. He didn't grit his teeth and harden his heart and draw his knife.
Otherwise, the grass on the grave should have grown out now.
At this moment, a small dot first appeared on the water in the distance. The small dot gradually grew larger and became a blurry mass, and then gradually became clear. Only then could it be seen that it was a boat with a roof.
Qian San immediately stood up and ran into the small port, stepping on the port stone slabs and diligently guiding the boats into the port.
Needless to say, Boss Ye Lan is Qian San's immediate superior, and Brother Chen Tianfeng may be the closest person to Boss Ye Lan in the future... These are the nobles who can control his bonuses, wages, and promotions!

When Chen Tianfeng got off the boat, the first thing he saw was the trees in the distance that were so lush that they could cover his figure, and then there was Qian San, who was smiling attentively, saying hard work, and mixing in some rainbow farts.
I was very confused, what was this guy doing?
Chen Tianfeng casually perfunctorily dealt with him, while using a wisp of breeze to secretly communicate with Ye Lan: "Is Qian San... very short of money?"
"Hmm? Brother Chen, why did you think of asking this?"
Ye Lan walked beside Chen Tianfeng, controlling the distance between the two, so that they did not seem unfamiliar, nor too intimate - almost perfectly stuck within Chen Tianfeng's acceptable range.
"Don't you think that he has become abnormal since his bonus was deducted?"
"... Indeed."
But it's probably not because of the bonus.
Ye Lan glanced at him calmly, not knowing whether to be happy or sigh at Chen Tianfeng's "slowness".
"Why not give the bonus back to him?"
Chen Tianfeng thought, looking at the appearance of Brother Qian San, he might have lost his mind because of losing the bonus.
Ye Lan shook his head slightly, and said calmly: "Brother Chen, there is no order without rules."
"That makes sense."
Chen Tianfeng glanced at Qian San and silently said condolences in his heart.
Qian San didn't understand why, and after thinking about it, he felt that he had not practiced for a long time, and his ability to fart had declined a lot, and he couldn't satisfy Brother Chen. Yes, as far as he knew, Brother Chen was also a master of fart, and his ability was indeed a bit of a show-off.
Qian San cleared his throat, recalling that he had tried to find his state and planned to use 120% of his ability.
"Tell me about the situation of the treasure-stealing group in Mingyun Town."
Ye Lan stopped Qian San from wasting time and got on his horse: "Tell me as we go, in detail."
"Yes, Boss."
Qian San's face became serious, and he stopped thinking about those things. He rode his horse and lagged behind Chen Tianfeng and Ye Lan by half a body: "It has been found that the treasure-stealing group that appeared in Mingyun Town is the Maple Leaf Treasure-stealing Group, with a total of 17 members, the configuration of a regular treasure-stealing group. The leader is Hong Lianfeng, a Liyue native, 42 years old, short in stature, with a scar on his left eye..."
...
Mingyun Town, in the intricate abandoned mine tunnel.
Hong Lianfeng had a gloomy face, pinched a small handful of tobacco from the small cloth bag in his arms, and put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly without lighting it. He narrowed his eyes slightly, half of his thin body was hidden in the shadow, and the other half was illuminated by the firelight. I don't know if it was caused by the scar on his left eye, but it looked a little scary.
He sat there, looking at the three small leaders of the Maple Leaf Treasure Thieves without saying a word. The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"Pooh!"
Hong Lianfeng spit out the chewed tobacco and his voice was cold: "Half a month, a whole half month! You haven't even found a damn thing! If this continues, the Qianyan Army will be attracted! Don't even say that you have completed the commission by then. , whether you can escape safely or not is a question!”
The three leaders of the Maple Leaf Treasure Thief Group lowered their heads, not daring to look at Hong Lianfeng or say anything.
"Forget it, but why has there been no progress in the exploration of Mine No. 2?"
"this……"
The bandit responsible for exploring the No. 2 mine tunnel shuddered, quickly raised his head, and explained in a panic: "Boss, it's not that I don't want to explore, it's because there is a ghost in the No. 2 mine tunnel! That ghost is very evil, and every time There are a bunch of projection monsters behind them, brothers..."
"Are you stupid!?"
Hong Lianfeng interrupted him with an ugly look on his face: "If you can't beat me, why don't you ask someone to lure that damn ghost away? If I had known you were so stupid, I should have killed you with a knife!"
"Yes! I understand!"
The bandit didn't dare to refute, and nodded repeatedly, then hesitant and timid, as if he wanted to ask something, but didn't dare to speak.
"If you fart quickly, let it go!"
"Yes! Boss, all the newcomers exploring the path are dead, how can we divert them away..."
"Isn't it better to find him after he's dead?"
Hong Lianfeng stood up, patted his cheek with the scabbard, and said with sinister eyes: "Although Mingyun Town has declined, there is always no problem in arresting a few old, young, sick and disabled... Or, I can go to Liyue Port and capture your family." bring it here?"
"I, I understand! I really understand! Boss!"
The bandit immediately knelt down, dripping with cold sweat. He lowered his head and did not dare to look into Hong Lianfeng's eyes, nor did he dare to let Hong Lianfeng see the resentment in his eyes.
"Then go quickly!"
Hong Lianfeng kicked him over and inadvertently revealed the strange gem inlaid on his belt. It looked very similar to the Eye of God, but it was definitely not it.
The other two little bosses looked at this scene indifferently. Their eyes stayed on the gem for a second and then quickly moved away. They didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.
