Not long after, a young boy came over again and hurriedly saluted Jun Yu and Chen Hu, saying that it was the master's invitation that allowed them to enter the Liu Mansion, which was the third hall in the courtyard yesterday.
Sitting majestically in the middle was a middle-aged, burly man, an innate spiritual warrior! He was tall and wearing a navy blue Confucian robe, which made his angular face look much softer.
When Jun Yu and Chen Hu saw that someone was already sitting on the throne, they looked at each other for a while, then clasped their fists and saluted, and said: "Jun Yu (Chen Hu), a disciple of Lingyun Tiangong, has met Master Liu!"
"Haha, this young man has a lot of potential, watch your seat!" the middle-aged man in Confucian robes said with a hearty laugh.
"Thank you very much, Master Liu!" they both said in unison and took their seats on the right side.
"You two have worked hard all the way. I heard that the second elder said that you want to see me in person. Where is the letter from Lingyun Tiangong to me?" The head of the Liu family probably didn't have much in common with the two juniors who had acquired the cultivation level, so he went straight to the point.
"This is a letter from the sect, and I would like to ask the Liu family head to read it." Chen Hu carefully took out a brown letter from his arms. The words "personally addressed by the Liu family head" were written on the envelope, and he handed it over with both hands.
After the head of the Liu family glanced at a servant with a sword next to him, the servant hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter and handed it to the head of the Liu family.
After carefully checking that the words and seal on the envelope were complete, the head of the Liu family opened the letter and began to read. Sometimes he frowned, and sometimes he felt slightly relieved.
After a while, after reading the letter, the head of the Liu family frowned and looked in the direction of Lingyun Tiangong. After taking a few breaths, he looked back and said to Jun Yu and Chen Hu.
"Now that the letter has been delivered, you two can leave after I write my reply."
"Thank you very much, Master Liu, for making it happen. I have something else, I don't know if I should ask it or not." Jun Yu stood up and bowed his hands.
"When will you tell me directly?" The head of the Liu family glanced at Jun Yu and said slightly displeased.
"Assigned by the sect, the responsibilities are here. If there is any inconvenience, please bear with me, Master Liu." Jun Yu bowed.
"I heard that there was a military guard-level bandit in Dangsha County near the endless sand sea recently. In the past few months, he alone intercepted merchants several times and injured more than ten innocent people. The sect felt that something was unusual, so they
If you ask us to come and investigate, if Master Liu knows some information, please let me know and I will be grateful!"
"I do know some clues about this matter. You can go to Lujiao Town to find out." The head of the Liu family said simply, then picked up the tea and said nothing.
"Thank you very much, Master Liu. If this thief is eliminated as soon as possible, it will be a blessing to the people." Jun Yu bowed his hands and bowed, then sat down and said nothing.
Seeing this, the head of the Liu family asked the two of them to wait for a while and left towards the back hall. After tea time, the same brown letter was handed to Chen Hu by the servant who brought him there, and the two thanked him and left.
"Today's trip went relatively smoothly. Shall we go to Lujiao Town now?" Chen Hu asked Jun Yu after leaving the house.
"Okay, pack your bags and rush to Lujiao Town to see who this bandit is. He actually bypassed the dynasty officials and asked me and other disciples to come and investigate." After Jun Yu finished speaking, he and Chen Hu got up and walked towards the inn.
Rush in the direction quickly.
Lujiao Town is about five thousand miles away from Dangsha County and is located on the southern outskirts of the endless sand sea. It provides some food and accommodation for passing merchants, travelers and warriors all year round.
At dinner time, Jun Yu and Chen Hu arrived at Lujiao Town. They found a tavern and sat down in a corner. They asked the waiter to bring twenty kilograms of beef and two jars of old wine. They started eating and drinking while listening to the discussions in the tavern. Voices.
"Have you heard that a few days ago, another group of passing merchants were robbed by this lone bandit, and five guards were killed?" A young man with advanced martial arts skills was not far from Jun Yu's seat. The other three people at the same table said.
"Oh, isn't it? We don't dare to go to the sand sea to hunt spiritual beasts these days. It's been really hard these days."
"Yes, the master of Tangsha County has sent several groups of people to clear it out, but they failed every time."
"Which time has Tangsha County sent guards to clear out sand bandits and succeeded? In the past few years, the five counties of Shafu have joined forces to defeat the seven heroes of Shahai. The soldiers killed five of the seven heroes of the Sand Sea, and the rest ran into the depths of the Sand Sea."
"Well, let's see. If it still doesn't work, we will take the road to Dangsha County and go to Fulong County. We can't go hungry." After a few people discussed in low voices for a while, they all looked heavy and only focused on their cups. Laojiao, no more words.
"Crash!" A burst of noisy footsteps came from the door, and a group of guards wearing bright yellow armor came towards the tavern, about thirty people in total.
"Let's go, the Tangsha County Guards are here. This group of people is incompetent in catching bandits, but they are extremely cruel to us warriors and civilians."
"Say less, or they will hear you and accuse you of being an accomplice of that lone robber." The four people at the table just whispered a few words, then paid and left.
"Shall we leave too?" Chen Hu asked.
"Don't worry, let's take a look and talk." Jun Yu picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.
"Shopkeeper, hurry up and bring us thirty jars of ten-year-old wine and a hundred pounds of fine beef!" A group of guards in armor had entered the tavern at this moment and ordered the shopkeeper behind the counter.
"My lord, all the ten years old wine has been drunk by the previous officers, and only five years old wine is left. Look..." A man of about forty years old in plain robe nodded and bent his waist. Is it possible?
"You bastards, are you afraid that we can't pay the bill? The first few teams had some drinks, and they were all sold out just after we came back from the sand sea. I see that you guys clearly don't want to take out the good wine!" said the armored man in the lead on the left. The guard on the side scolded.
"Don't dare, don't dare! How can I ask the official to pay for the wine? The ten-year-old wine is indeed gone. If the official doesn't believe it, you can go to the wine cellar and have a look." The middle-aged shopkeeper explained helplessly.
"Lao Wu, you take someone to get drinks from the shopkeeper. This is the money for the drinks. Don't say that our guards came out to drink without paying." The armored man at the head said, casually taking out ten large coins and throwing them at the shopkeeper.
"Thank you, sir, for taking care of the business..." The shopkeeper bent down and carefully took the money, with a tearful face, and walked to the back hall with the three guards.
"This group of people is too arrogant. If we don't go and teach them a lesson, they will be nothing more than military guards." Chen Hu said with an angry look on his face.
"Don't be impatient. We can just pay more to the shopkeeper later. We are new to the ramp, so we better not get into trouble first so as not to affect the mission." Jun Yu waved his hand.
"These turtles know how to bully the common people." Chen Hu took a sip of old wine and said.
As if he heard something, the armored man in the lead glanced this way. After seeing the two young men wearing red outfits with a green spiritual cloud embroidered on their chests, he looked back and started drinking.
"Shopkeeper, check out." Jun Yu called to the counter.
"Here we go, you two have a total of fifty coins." The shopkeeper said softly.
"Here, here are two pieces of dragon gold. You keep them. If you have more, you will be rewarded. This wine is really good!" Chen Hu took out two pieces of dragon gold and put them on the table, then left with Jun Yu.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" the shopkeeper said happily, finally making up for some of the losses.
"Boy, are you trying to cause trouble!" After hearing Chen Hu's voice, a guard at the table with his back to Jun Yu turned around and yelled angrily, then stood up and rushed towards Jun Yu and the others.
"Sit down and we'll drink our wine." The armored man at the head scolded softly, with a tone that said no disobedience was allowed.
The guard had just seen the clothes of the two teenagers clearly at this time, and did not make any move anymore. He sat down obediently and continued to drink and eat meat.
After Jun Yu gave him a look, Chen Hu understood that he couldn't afford to lose his money. After glaring at the group of people, he followed Jun Yu and left the tavern.
A moment later, Jun Yu saw a young man on a street who had just been discussing a lone bandit in a tavern. After Jun Yu and Chen Hu looked at each other, they moved closer to the young man.
"Brother, we have something to ask you." Chen Hu said to the young man who was surrounded by two people and was a little panicked.
"Two heroes, if you have anything to say, just ask, and you will definitely tell me everything you know." The young man heard the question and said quickly.
"Tell us about the lone bandit you were just talking about in the tavern," Chen Hu said.
"So that's what happened. Everyone in Lujiao Town doesn't know anything about it. This lone bandit came to the Dangsha County area a few months ago and robbed passing merchants and warriors alone. Although he was only a martial arts practitioner, his skills were vicious.
, is good at using poison skills, which makes people hard to guard against. He is even more skilled in escaping, and even the senior military guards cannot catch up..."
"Oddly enough, this lone bandit always robs around Lujiao Town, as if he is looking for something. Even when the Tangsha County Guards come to clean up, he never leaves, and still attacks caravans and caravans from time to time.
The warriors take action. Recently, the number of caravans and warriors coming and going has become increasingly rare..."
After the young man finished telling all the information he knew, he looked at the two young men with strong martial arts training with curiosity, as if he was guessing whether these two young men would also go to eliminate them.
"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you, I'm here to give you a drink. I don't want others to know about today's events. Do you understand?" Jun Yu, who had never spoken a word, knew that he would gain nothing if he continued.
After receiving the message, he took out two pieces of dragon gold and suddenly whispered.
"I know, I know! I have never seen you two before." The young man took the dragon gold and hurried away.
"Let's go, let's go find some inns to see if there are caravans recruiting warriors here, and change our clothes," Jun Yu said.
Then the two of them changed their clothes in a secluded corner, dressed in black and disguised their appearance, transformed into two strange young guards, and headed towards the inn.
