At the junction of Hanzhou and Yangzhou, this is a main official road leading to the two states.
The official road is connected to a dock on the Dajiang River, and thirty miles ahead is an important city between the two states. Therefore, vehicles and horse teams are constantly coming and going on the official road, and traffickers and foot soldiers are everywhere.
In the middle of this official road, there is a tea shed. The tea shed is not big, but it is the only one in the area for dozens of miles, so the pedestrians and horses on the official road are happy to stop here for a bowl of tea.
Especially at noon, under the scorching sun, this small tea shed was even more crowded.
And when there are more people, there are more words!
On a table in the middle of the tea shed, there were several warriors in uniforms sitting on it. One of them, a rough and strong man, held a knife in his left hand and pressed it on the table, while he drank from the tea bowl in his right hand.
After drinking, the strong man took the tea bowl and threw it directly on the table. Then he wiped the remaining tea on the stubble with his big hand and cursed:
"Bullshit court, bullshit ban! What kind of escort agency can't have more than two hundred people in the escort team? They want to exhaust me to death!"
With the sound of the voice, there was a sudden silence in the tea shed, and everyone looked sideways at the rugged man.
On the innermost table, a middle-aged scholar-looking man stood up, raised his hands to the rugged man and said with a smile:
"Haha, it turned out to be the escort leader Lu Tai from the Pingyang Escort Bureau. I didn't expect that escort leader Lu would come out to escort the escort himself after he broke through to the first-class level. Now I'm afraid only a master like escort leader Lu would dare to speak up!"
"Hmph! We don't have enough manpower and I can't come out. How can you do it for me?"
Being stabbed in a vital point, Lu Tai was annoyed, blurted out, and turned to glare at the middle-aged scholar.
However, after seeing the middle-aged scholar's face clearly, the anger on Lu Tai's face softened slightly and he said calmly:
"It turns out to be Captain Zhou Ping of Dongsheng Company. I didn't expect your business to reach this point! There's nothing I dare not say. People in the world can talk about things in the world!"
"Botou Lu is right, all Jianghu people are right about Jianghu matters!"
As soon as Lu Tai's words came out, the crowd in the tea shed suddenly became angry.
Someone stepped on the bench and said angrily:
"Now that the world is at peace, everyone has started doing business, but the court has limited the number of us escorts and escorts. This is obviously cutting off our financial opportunities!"
"good!"
Someone next to him immediately answered: "If everyone limits the number of people, then we will accept it, but if you look at the Longwei Escort Bureau, they are spread across the ten states of Daqin. The number of people is not only 200? I'm afraid there are 20,000!"
"Hey! How can we compete with Longwei Escort Agency?"
Someone suddenly became angry: "Longwei Escort Bureau belongs to Ziwu Villa, and they are the royal family. Of course they can do whatever they want, even setting fires is no problem! We ordinary people should not even think about lighting lamps, just stay in the dark! They do this
, Isn’t it just that they are afraid that when we develop, we will follow the same path as Ziwu Villa and lead people to rebel?”
"Asshole!"
When Lu Tai heard this, he became even more angry. He immediately slapped the table and stood up, saying angrily:
"No matter how royal he is at Ziwu Villa, he is also from the world! Now that they have conquered the world, they have forgotten their origins! Do you think everyone is born to be rebellious like them? One day I must rush into Ziwu Villa and point his finger at Luo Tianhe's nose.
Ask him if he still understands the rules of the world!"
"Haha! Yes, Mr. Lu is right! Ask him if Luo Tianhe still understands the rules!"
Everyone praised it and became excited instantly. Although everyone knew that this was unrealistic, it did not prevent everyone from venting here.
And in this turbulent crowd, the sky seemed to be echoing everyone, and suddenly there was a muffled sound:
"Boom boom boom!"
Sounds came in waves, like muffled thunder, from far to near.
Hearing the muffled sound, the voices in the tea shed gradually became quieter, and everyone subconsciously looked up at the roof of the tea shed.
Someone muttered: "That's weird, the sun is shining brightly, how can there be thunder?"
As soon as the voice came out, everyone frowned and looked at the sun outside the tea shed.
Someone at the table sitting in front of the door had sharp eyes. He immediately stared at the official road behind him and exclaimed:
"No! It's the Ziwu Guards from Ziwu Villa who are here!"
"Um?"
Hearing the sound, everyone quickly looked through the open tea shed and towards the official road behind.
On the official road, a group of more than a dozen cavalrymen were seen, billowing up yellow dust all over the sky.
"Purple Mist Armor? Black Scale Horse? It's really Purple Mist Guard! Why are they here?"
"Isn't it the village owner who heard us talking about them and came here to cause trouble?"
"That's funny! Do you think they are lucky? They might be passing by here somewhere!"
Everyone in the tea shed murmured quietly and stared at the Purple Mist Guards running towards them without blinking.
The Purple Mist Guard was also very fast. He rushed to the tea shed in the blink of an eye and stopped.
Seeing the Ziwu Guard stop, everyone in the tea shed immediately became silent and just stared with wide eyes.
The name of the black-scaled horse is very familiar, and many people here have seen it before. However, when they saw it again, everyone was still amazed when they saw the majestic, scale-covered horse body and the beastly aura it exuded.
Especially when they looked at the leader of the Purple Mist Guards, everyone's eyes widened with horror.
This is not because of the person on the horse. The person on the horse is dressed in white with purple stripes. Although he looks extraordinary, there is no aura on his body. No one pays much attention to it. It is mainly because of the black scale horse under the man's crotch!
The black-scaled horse actually had a single horn on its head, and the tip of the single horn emitted a cold light that made people shudder. Judging from its aura, it was a beast equivalent to a mid-level first-class beast!
Such a ferocious beast had a higher level of cultivation than anyone in the tea shed, and yet it was actually being ridden on the crotch. Everyone swallowed their saliva and slowly looked at the person on the horse.
However, although the person on horseback is extraordinary, no one has seen or recognized him before!
On Dujiao's back, Luo Chen glanced at the tea shed, and then looked at Yun Mo, who was dressed in black next to him:
"Take a break and have a cup of tea!"
After saying that, Luo Chen got off his horse and walked towards the tea shed.
Yun Mo didn't dare to be lazy and hurriedly dismounted to follow.
Behind them, ten Purple Mist Guards clutched their spears and sat motionless on their black-scaled horses. Their visor-exposed eyes looked at the people in the tea shed warily.
Inside the tea shed.
Seeing Luo Chen and the two approaching, although everyone did not feel the aura of cultivation from Luo Chen, seeing Luo Chen being guarded by a group of purple mist guards, they all knew that he was not simple and immediately looked at him suspiciously.
Luo Chen ignored everyone, walked slowly to the door of the tea shed, and then glanced at the tea shed, only to see that it was full and there was no empty seat.
However, the table near the door near Luo Chen seemed to feel Luo Chen's momentum. After seeing that Luo Chen had no seat, he subconsciously stood up and stepped aside.
The waiter at the tea shed, with quick eyes and quick hands, hurried over and cleared the table, then made new tea.
"Guest, please take a seat!"
After wiping the bench one last time, the waiter smiled flatteringly at Luo Chen and hurried away.
Seeing this, Luo Chen smiled at the few people who gave up their seats, and then sat down in front of everyone's eyes.
At this moment, there was no sound in the tea shed, and everyone looked at Luo Chen quietly.
Luo Chen had a faint smile on his face, as if he had not seen everything around him. After sitting down, he poured himself a bowl of tea, then took out another bowl and placed it next to him, filled it with tea as well, and finally looked at Yun behind him.
Mo smiled and said:
"What are you standing for? Drinking tea!"
"Yes! Master!"
Yun Mo didn't say much and sat directly next to Luo Chen.
Although Yun Mo was casual, his words shocked everyone in the tea shed.
"Master? The young master of Ziwu Villa?"
There was a small murmur, and everyone suddenly looked at each other.
In Ziwu Villa, the only people from the Luo family who can be called young master by Ziwu Guard are probably the only ones!
Everyone was thinking quickly, and after looking at each other, they all looked at Lu Tai. Just now, Lu Tai said that he wanted to point at Luo Tianhe's nose and ask him if he understood the rules, but he was still in everyone's ears.
Although the real owner has not appeared now, people related to the real owner have appeared, which is a good opportunity. It depends on whether he dares to say it...
Being watched by everyone, Lu Tai also knew what everyone was thinking. Although he had said something out of anger before, a man in the world couldn't show his cowardice, so Lu Tai still stood up bravely.
Fortunately, Yun Mo was only at the second-rate peak level, and Luo Chen had no aura of cultivation. Facing two people who were inferior to him, Lu Tai regained some confidence after getting up, and he also showed the demeanor of a master.
Shaking his sleeves, Lu Tai slowly clasped his fists towards Luo Chen and said in a deep voice:
"May I ask if you are a descendant of the Luo family of Ziwu Villa?"
