Xia Yan wrote a letter and hung it around the native dog's neck with a rope.
Although there are postmen in the city who deliver letters, at their speed, it may take at least ten days to deliver this letter to Yushui City. A round trip may take nearly a month.
Therefore, Xia Yan finally decided to let Tugou send the letter back, and then take Xiaoqing to Ziye City.
An ordinary carriage can go from Yushui City to Ziye City in four days. With the speed of the native dog after its transformation, it can be reached in one morning!
"Remember, you must not throw away the letter. After you arrive at the Xia family, give this letter to the clan leader Xia Feilong. After the clan leader reads it, he will arrange for someone to send Xiaoqing there. You will also follow Xiaoqing.
Responsible for protecting her on the road!" Xia Yan warned the native dog again.
The native dog nodded its head. Its spirituality was extremely high and its intelligence was no worse than that of a normal person. It naturally understood what Xia Yan meant.
"Okay, go ahead!" Xia Yan waved his hand.
"Whoosh~"
Under the early morning light, the native dog turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the distant street.
Xia Yan stood in the courtyard, drew his long sword, and stood still.
Heaven, earth, people!
Gradually, Xia Yan's breath became lighter and weaker. Finally, it disappeared completely.
If someone enters the courtyard at this time, they probably won't see Xia Yan at the first time. At this time, Xia Yan seems to be completely integrated between heaven and earth, becoming a part of nature like the air, trees, and rivers between heaven and earth.
If Xia Yan could maintain such a state of mind in the Sinful Forest, then ordinary beasts would not notice Xia Yan's existence even if they were next to Xia Yan.
This is a wonderful state.
Xia Yan, who was standing still, was actually constantly displaying his sword skills. In his mind and heart, Xia Yan's sword skills were dancing rapidly. Outsiders couldn't see it, but Xia Yan knew it.
"The sword in your heart can be faster." After Xia Yan performed a set of sword skills, he stopped practicing in his mind, "Sword skills in reality will be affected by many influences, such as air. The air has resistance, and the sword used will
The faster the skill, the greater the resistance. Practicing it in the mind and heart is the greatest display of the power of the sword skill!"
Shaking his head, Xia Yan sighed slightly, "Unfortunately, if the resistance of various factors can be overcome in reality, then the power of the sword skills will be greatly improved. The speed will be faster. Before the enemy can react, he will
Kill the enemy with the sword!"
"Excuse me, have you completed the mission in Ziye City?"
On the afternoon of the third day, Xia Yan appeared in the mercenary hall with a blue first-class medal hanging on his chest.
Standing in front of the counter, Xia Yan looked at a staff member inside and asked. The other person was a woman in her twenties, with an upper-middle-class appearance, small and exquisite.
The staff member looked up at Xia Yan, picked up a booklet in his hand, opened it and said politely to Xia Yan: "There are a total of one hundred and thirty-seven tasks completed in Ziye City today.
There are twenty-two first-level tasks, please take a look!"
When the staff member saw the booklet placed in front of Xia Yan, there was a professional smile on his lips.
Xia Yan glanced around and frowned.
As expected, this level of tasks are extremely simple. They are basically tasks of finding objects or people. The completion locations are indeed within Ziye City, and most of them have time limits.
Twenty-two tasks were all recorded on one page. From top to bottom, Xia Yan did not see any tasks that might be related to that young lady.
"I want to know if someone in Purple Leaf City recently issued a mission about forced marriage!" Xia Yan asked with a wry smile, and then quickly added, "It is related to the Song family in Purple Leaf City, that's the
Song Yuxin."
That day at Tianxing Pavilion, Xia Yan didn't hear clearly. He didn't know what the maid and the young lady were talking about. He only had a rough idea that they mentioned a person named Song Yuxin.
After hearing Xia Yan's words, the staff member's expression changed and he looked at Xia Yan in shock.
"There is...this mission!" After a while, the staff member said slowly.
Then, she took another one of the several books placed in front of her, with the Level 6 mission marked on the cover!
"Su Li issued a mission three days ago, which was about his daughter. The young master of the Song family, Song Yuxin, proposed marriage to the Miss Su family. When she was rejected, he forcibly entered into a competition agreement with the Su family!" The staff looked at the roster, "
This mission does not limit the number of people, but so far, no mercenary is willing to accept this mission!"
"Why?" Xia Yan looked surprised.
Level 6 mission, there are so many mercenaries in Purple Leaf City, why does no one accept this mission?
"Because this task is related to the Song family in Purple Leaf City." The staff member's eyes flashed and he looked at Xia Yan.
"Sir, you are only a first-level mercenary. It is best not to take this mission."
"Oh..." Xia Yan smiled. After hearing what the staff member said, he understood. He shook his head and said, "Then what is the standard for completing this task?"
"This needs to be confirmed by Mr. Su Li himself. I think if I can win the competition tomorrow, I will have completed the task. This level 6 task has very rich rewards, but it is likely to offend the Song family. Zai Zi
Ye Cheng offended the Song family..." The staff member said this in a deep voice and did not continue.
Xia Yan nodded and said, "Then I'll accept this task! By the way, if I can't complete it, will there be any punishment?"
"Sir, you are now a first-level mercenary. There will be no downgrade penalty. However, it will have a certain impact on your mission completion rate!" The staff member sighed secretly. She also had good intentions and hoped that Xia Yan would not take risks.
Accept this quest. However, the adventurer has the right to accept any quest, and she cannot refuse. She can only say a few more words.
The final choice is still in the hands of the adventurer himself.
The task completion rate means that if a person takes the risk to accept a hundred tasks and completes ninety, then the task completion rate is 90%!
"Well, then I will take on this task!" Xia Yan nodded slightly.
After some registration, Xia Yan got a sign about this mission.
Each mission will have a mission card. When you accept the mission, you will get this mission card, and after completing it, you will return the mission card back to the mercenary hall.
Seeing Xia Yan turn around and leave, the staff member shook his head slightly, with a look of pity in his eyes.
In her opinion, maybe after Xia Yan accepted this task, he would never come back.
"You are only over ten years old, so young, and so good-looking. Why do you want to take on such an impossible mission? So many mercenaries dare not take on this mission..."
Xia Yan naturally didn't know what this staff member was thinking.
After accepting the task, Xia Yan did not go back to his yard, but went directly to the Su family.
The mission has the address of the Su family, which is not far from the mercenary hall. The Su family is a business family. Su Li used to be a commoner, but later he went into business and ran the silk and satin business, and gradually became richer and richer.
There are shops of the Su family in Ziye City and several surrounding counties and cities. Su Li only has one daughter, named Su Qin.
"This is it!"
Xia Yan arrived outside the Su family's mansion and stopped.
Outside the gate of the mansion, there are two guards guarding the door. Rich families like this would hire guards to guard the courtyard.
Xia Yan adjusted his clothes and walked slowly towards the main entrance.
"Please stop, this is the private residence of the Su family!" A guard stopped Xia Yan, looked him up and down, and then said politely.
"But Boss Su's home?" Xia Yan stopped and asked with a smile.
"Exactly, who are you?" The guard's eyes flashed and he said to Xia Yan.
"I'm a mercenary, and I came here to accept the mission issued by Boss Su!" Xia Yan pointed to the blue medal on his chest and said.
"Did you accept the mission?" The guard looked happy and said respectfully: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will inform the master!"
Three days have passed, and no mercenary has accepted this task. This makes everyone in the Su family very uneasy.
For this mission, the Su family also offered a huge reward, but there is still no mercenary willing to take the mission. Tomorrow is the date of the competition. If the Su family cannot win the competition, then Miss Su Qin must marry Song
Home Song Yuxin!
"Okay!" Xia Yan nodded and smiled.
The guard quickly entered the courtyard.
The Su family's courtyard is not very big. Xia Yan visually inspected it and found that it was about five or six times larger than the courtyard he bought. Compared with the courtyards of some families, it is much smaller.
However, the Su family is just a small family, not a family with a large number of people. No matter how big the yard is, only a few people can live there.
After standing in front of the door for a while, Xia Yan heard many footsteps coming from the courtyard. It seemed that it was not just the guards who came in just now.
Xia Yan looked at the main door, and sure enough, the first person who came out was an old man in rich clothes.
When the old man came out, he saw Xia Yan at a glance, but his gaze didn't linger long and he immediately looked to the left and right.
Then he turned to the guard and asked: "You said a mercenary took over the mission, where are they?"
The guard quickly pointed at Xia Yan and said, "Master, that's him, he's the mercenary who took over the mission!"
"Master, look, he still has a medal on his chest!" The guard looked at Xia Yan and said.
"Ah?" The old man's eyes flashed, and he looked at Xia Yan again. Sure enough, he saw the blue medal, "Mercenary?"
"First-level mercenary?" The old man's eyes lit up at first, and then quickly dimmed. It was obvious that a first-level mercenary was not the ideal target in the old man's heart.
"Is it Boss Su?" Xia Yan said with a smile and cupped his fists.
Although the old man was not satisfied, he still smiled and clasped his fists and said, "It's Su Li, sir, please come in!"
No matter what, at least one mercenary accepted this task. For three days in a row, not even a single mercenary showed up, so Su Li was naturally very anxious.
Xia Yan nodded, raised his feet and walked inside.
