Outside the door of Jufulou Tower, next to a slightly dark alley, there were three men in Tsing Yi sneaking around and staring at the door of Jufulou Tower.
One of them, the sharp-mouthed man with monkey cheeks who had just been selling water to Xia Yan and Li Yuanchun by the well on Long Street, was hiding in the shade with a greedy look in his eyes, and he licked his chapped lips fiercely.
"Second brother, you said that fat sheep entered the Jufu Tower. Why hasn't he come out even after an hour?" The thickest man had a sharp look and a rough voice.
The man called the second child was the water seller. He chuckled and said, "I saw them enter the Jufulou Tower with my own eyes. There is no mistake. Brother, they will definitely come out of the Jufulou Tower in a while."
"Second brother, you said that the fat sheep was carrying a bulging money bag, right?" The third man had shining eyes, was the tallest, and had buck teeth and protruding forehead.
"Humph, of course it's not wrong. I saw with my own eyes that the money carried by that fat sheep was at least dozens of gold coins." The second man puffed up his cheeks and narrowed his eyes.
These three people are not from Yushui City, but are desperadoes. Every time they rob in one city, they will run to other cities. They have done such things as robbery once or twice, and they are extremely experienced.
Their methods are sophisticated. Although they rob, they do not harm anyone's life.
"Second Brother, are you sure there are no guards around the fat sheep?" The boss was the most cautious person. Although the second child had said it many times, he still asked again and again.
Generally, rich people will be accompanied by guards when they go out. If there are guards, the risk of robbery will increase. The reason why these three people have committed crimes for many years without making a mistake is because they are very careful. As long as the situation is not right, they would rather not commit crimes.
If you rob, you won't take risks.
"Heihei, brother, that boy looks like a weak scholar with no guards around him. Although there is a man with him, I don't think there is any threat. If that man has strength, how can he go to the street?
Drinking water from a well? He is too poor to even enter a tea shop, so he cannot be very capable. Brother, we just need to wait for that kid to walk to a street with few people, and then snatch the money bag from him in one fell swoop, and then quickly leave Yu
Shuicheng." The second child's eyes flashed, he suddenly waved his fist and said excitedly.
The other person he was talking about was Li Yuanchun.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a strong practitioner to be so poor that he cannot even afford to drink water. But Li Yuanchun was forced to drink from a well on the street, and he obviously had no real ability.
Because of this, the second brother had evil intentions after Xia Yan revealed his wealth. He called his eldest brother and three younger brothers to prepare to rob Xia Yan and then leave Yushui City together.
"Haha, I can rest assured that the second brother is doing his job! Hehe, if we can grab dozens of gold coins this time, my three brothers will be happy for a while again." The third child said with a sinister smile.
"Well, when you see the fat sheep later, I will signal you to take action, and then you can take action." The boss's voice deepened, and he glanced at the second and third sons.
The second child and the third child nodded repeatedly.

Xia Family Residence!
Because Xia Changhe was busy, he had not been to Xia Yan's courtyard for several days. Today, after noon, Xia Changhe took advantage of his short free time and went to Xia Yan's courtyard.
However, Xia Yan was not there, and there was only the maid Xiao Qing in the courtyard. Xiao Qing had never met Xia Changhe, but seeing that Xia Changhe had an extraordinary bearing and assumed that he was an elder in the Xia family, he dealt with it carefully.
"You said Xia Yan left at noon, do you know where he went?" Xia Changhe asked casually without seeing Xia Yan.
He came here this time to ask Xia Yan if he had any difficulties in his cultivation. In the past, when Xia Yan had not made any progress in his cultivation, Xia Changhe often came to chat with Xia Yan. Now that Xia Yan's cultivation is speeding up by leaps and bounds, Xia Changhe naturally wants to
Chat with Xia Yan.
After Xiaoqing served tea to Xia Changhe, he lowered his head and said carefully: "The young master was invited by Miss Wang's family. When the young master left, he said he was going to have a meal."
Xiaoqing stood aside obediently. When Xia Yan left, he specifically told her that she would not be back for lunch.
Xia Changhe frowned, stood up from his seat, and said in a deep voice: "Miss from the Wang family, which Wang family?"
Xiao Qing replied crisply: "I heard from the young master that the young lady's name is Wang Yuyan."
Hearing Xiao Qing say this name, Xia Changhe's expression suddenly changed. Who else is Wang Yuyan from the Wang family in Yushui City? It must be the young lady of the Wang family, one of the three major families together with the Xia family.
This Wang Yuyan invited Xia Yan to dinner for no reason. Is there a mystery behind this?
In an instant, Xia Changhe thought of several possibilities. Xia Yan now is very important to the Xia family. It is directly related to the Xia family's future status and is the hope of the Xia family. Xia Yan's safety is the top priority.
Heavy. In particular, the Presbyterian Church has recently regarded Xia Yan as a key training target of the Xia family.
What is even more worrying is that in half a month, there will be a battle for the three major families. At this moment, Wang Yuyan invites Xia Yan to dinner. Is there any conspiracy in it?
As the elder of the Xia family, Xia Changhe had to think too much and consider Xia Yan's safety. Even if the possibility of the Wang family having ulterior motives was very small, Xia Changhe had to react as quickly as possible.
Seeing Xia Changhe's violent reaction, Xiaoqing was startled and her face turned a little pale, thinking that something serious had happened.
"The Wang family..."
Xia Changhe only said two words in the end, and then quickly left Xia Yan's courtyard, leaving Xiao Qing who was a little dazed. Xiao Qing looked at the steaming tea cup, wondering what happened.
What happened? These things in the family were not something she, a maid, could understand, and she could not think of going deeper.
"Is something going to happen? Don't..." Xiaoqing's new house suddenly became nervous.
…
"What? Xia Yan was invited by Wang Yuyan?" After the clan leader Xia Feilong heard the news, his face changed drastically, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.
If the Wang family really has any other purpose, then...
"Yes, Xia Yan's maid said that Xia Yan went out at noon. It has been an hour since now. Chief, Wang Yuyan must have invited Xia Yan to dinner at the Wang family's Jufu Tower. Why don't I take him there now?
Someone is going to pick up Xia Yan." Xia Changhe said eagerly, his chest rising and falling violently.
Regardless of whether the Wang family has any other purpose, the Xia family must bring Xia Yan back as soon as possible. Now is an important moment. In half a month, there will be a battle for the three major families. The battle for the three major families is very important to the three major families.
Sex is no small matter, even the Yushui City Holy Church will pay attention to this game. At that time, many church deacons will go to watch the game. If Xia Yan has an accident before the battle, causing him to be unable to participate in the battle, what will happen to the Xia family?
That would be bad.
Xia Feilong pondered for a moment, then the fierce glare in his eyes disappeared, and he said: "Third Elder, I think it is better for the First Elder to go in person. This is more appropriate."
What Xia Feilong means is that the Great Elder's strength is second only to the spiritual master, and if he encounters a special situation, he will be able to deal with it with confidence.
Xia Changhe thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "The patriarch said it is true! Then ask the elder to do some hard work and lead people to Jufulou Tower quickly. Xia Yan is having dinner in Jufulou Tower. As our Xia family's key training target,
It is also appropriate to send people to protect you. Even if the Wang family feels uncomfortable, there is nothing to say."
