Chapter 233: Strange Woman

"Okay."

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Chen Peng responded and clicked on the communicator. Soon, a reply came from the other side.

"Tell us to wait for five minutes and come right away." Chen Peng said.

"Okay." Ye Fan nodded.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in full armor arrived. Seeing Ye Fan and Chen Peng, he was a little excited.

"Meet Captain Ye Fan and Deputy Captain Chen Peng. My name is Nian Yao, and I am the leader of the Bailian City branch of the Shenye Mercenary Group."

"In our mercenary group, kneeling is not a custom." Seeing that the man was about to kneel, Ye Fan predicted and reached out to help him up, "Just lead the way."

"Okay." Nian Yao nodded and took the lead in front, "Captain and Deputy Captain, follow me."

The two followed Nian Yao and soon came to the branch of the Shenye Mercenary Group in Bailian City.

The size of the branch group is naturally not as large as the main group in Yuncheng, and the number of people is not large. Ye Fan looked through the registered mercenaries, and there were only dozens of people close to a hundred people.

After all, it is not Yuncheng, and Ye Fan and his team are in charge, and they can't borrow a little fame. It's still good to be able to do this.

"There is also a beastmaster?" His eyes moved, but Ye Fan locked on a red name on the list, "Gou Ling'er... Listening to the name, it seems to be a girl."

"Yes, this is the only mercenary that our mercenary group can show off." Nian Yao answered on the side, "She is not very old, maybe seventeen or eighteen years old, and her strength is not bad. She has reached the level of bronze nine stars."

"Seventeen or eighteen stars, silver one star." Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded slightly, his eyes swept across, "Where is she now, you can find her to talk to me."

"I'll go find her now." Nian Yao nodded, with a happy expression on his face.

Not long after, Nian Yao came with a girl. The girl was wearing a leather skirt, but at first glance, she was quite heroic, which made people's eyes bright.

"This is Ye Fan, the leader of the Shenye Mercenary Group headquarters that I told you about." Nian Yao introduced to the girl.

"Hello, leader Ye Fan."

The girl was not restrained and greeted Ye Fan, her eyes curved into crescents, "I have seen me."

"You have seen me?" Ye Fan frowned slightly, "From where?"

"The secret realm, when the Pingcheng Fortune Fruit Secret Realm opened, I also went there with my partners. Outside that valley, I saw the leader killing people everywhere." Gou Linger said, "So when I heard that Shenye was a mercenary group founded by leader Ye Fan, I joined decisively."

"That's it." Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded slightly, "You Didn't you say you had companions? Where are your companions?"

"My companions..." Gou Ling'er's face darkened slightly, "My companions died one after another during that trip to the secret realm."

Looking at Gou Ling'er's expression, Ye Fan didn't change his expression too much. After a little thought, he asked, "Are you alone? Where are your parents?"

"My parents got lost when we went to Fusheng Province a few years ago." Gou Ling'er replied, "My family is not well off and I don't have much money. I have come all the way here."

"Okay." Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded and waved his hand. "I called you here for nothing. I heard that you are a beastmaster with good strength. I am going to use you."

"Use me? Really?" Gou Ling'er seemed a little surprised.

"Yeah." Ye Fan nodded, but didn't say anything. He took out a warrant and said, "This is my warrant. If you have any ideas in the future, you can come to Yuncheng to find me."

"Okay!" Gou Linger nodded happily, took the warrant, and thanked Ye Fan repeatedly, "Thank you, Captain, thank you, Captain."

"Nothing."

Nian Yao responded and hurriedly led the way in front, and Chen Peng followed closely behind.

Ye Fan's pace was not fast, and the three of them walked very slowly. After leaving the mercenary group, they walked for a long time before leaving the mercenary street.

"Nian Yao, there's something wrong with Gou Ling'er." Only then did Ye Fan slowly speak, "She should be someone sent by another family or organization."

"Is there something wrong?" This shocked Nian Yao, and he spoke quickly, but it was a little awkward, "This, this."

"I think Gou Ling'er is pretty good. She often goes on missions and participates in the mercenary group's affairs. She works hard. How could she..."

"You don't have to doubt it." Ye Fan replied, shaking his head, "There are too many loopholes in what she said. . "

"She said she was from another place, but Ke Yin was from Nanchuan, Pingcheng, and Yuncheng. She said she didn't have much money, but the jade pendant she wore on her waist was obviously valuable, and she had seen me... With the strength of a bronze nine-star, she couldn't get out of that valley."

"Even what she said was very flawed, not to mention the changes in her expression during her words. How could someone be silent in the first sentence and excited in the second sentence, unless it was someone as heartless as Fatty Li."

"Ah, this..." After hearing what Ye Fan said, Nian Yao hesitated, paused for a while, and nodded.

"Since the captain knew there was a problem, why did he let her go to Yuncheng..." Chen Peng came over.

"The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Here, Shenye has only one beastmaster in the mercenary group. If she acts as a troublemaker, it will be difficult for the entire mercenary group to develop. If things go wrong, our mercenary group will be swallowed up by her."

Ye Fan shook his head and walked forward.

"Come to Yuncheng, that's our base camp. A bronze-level troublemaker can't cause any trouble."

"There are plenty of ways to deal with her."

...

"The City Lord's Mansion is in front." Looking at an ancient building not far away, Nian Yao finally brought Ye Fan and the others here.

"Why does this City Lord's Mansion look like a tower..." Chen Peng was a little surprised.

"It is said that this was originally a tower where monks lived in the early years. Later, when the City Lord took office, he felt that these monks only begged for alms and cheated money without doing anything, so he drove them out." Nian Yao said.

"Okay." Ye Fan nodded, "Then your mission is completed."

"Be careful of Gou Ling'er when you go back, and try to get her to report to Yuncheng as soon as possible, and say that Yuncheng headquarters has issued an order."

"Understood." Nian Yao nodded and bowed and retreated.

"Captain, why are people targeting us now?" Chen Peng said with some concern, "If there are spies in the mercenary group of Bailian City, will there be spies in other places..."

"Of course." Ye Fan gave an affirmative answer, and then waved his hand, "But there is nothing to worry about. It was originally intended to be used as an intelligence station. As long as we are strong enough, when the time is right, we can directly take over one city after another."

Hearing this, Chen Peng was slightly stunned and nodded woodenly.

"Who is coming?" At the door, the guard stopped Ye Fan.

"Captain of the Yuncheng Guard, on the order of Yuncheng Lord Weidong, I have an important matter to discuss with Bailian City Lord Qingzi." Ye Fan had expected this scene, and spoke slowly and took out Weidong's token.

"Yuncheng?" Hearing Ye Fan's words, the guard was a little suspicious. He took the token and looked at it for a while, "Why would the Lord of Yuncheng come to our Lord..."

Muttering, the guard did not ask any more questions and walked into the Lord's Mansion behind. After a while, he came down and nodded to the two.

"Lord Qingzi told you to go up by yourselves."

"Okay."

Ye Fan nodded and stepped into the tower. Chen Peng did not hesitate and followed closely.

As soon as he entered the first floor, Chen Peng was stunned. This floor was very large, about several hundred square meters, filled with various flowers, fish, and birds. As soon as he entered, it was like entering a flower and bird market.

"Why does this Lord have a special hobby?" Chen Peng hesitated and looked at Ye Fan on the side, "I heard from the team leader that the Lord's name is Qingzi. He should not be very old. Why does he have the same hobby as when my grandfather was still alive."

"Not very old, about 20 or 30 years old." Ye Fan spoke and looked at Chen Peng, but there was a smile in his eyes.

"Hobbies vary from person to person. When you go upstairs, try not to speak carelessly, so as not to cause taboos."

"Oh, I see." Chen Peng nodded, "It sounds like the city lord is very powerful."

"Of course she is powerful, otherwise I wouldn't come to find her first."

Ye Fan answered, took a step, walked towards the second floor, and smiled.

"This Qingzi is a first-class wonder woman in this world."
