Jingshui Hall, meeting hall.
Jiang Yan sat on the main seat. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Master, Zhenwu Hall has sent a message this afternoon, asking all halls to transport the recently purchased goods to Lishui Wharf. The ship No. 8 will set sail for Dingchen City in five days."
"Um!"
Jiang Yan nodded lightly, "Go ahead and tell me that the goods will be packed up today and delivered early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, my subordinates will make arrangements now." He handed over the bell and prepared to go out.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Yan stopped him and continued, "If you have a hard time tomorrow, just run to the dock for me."
"Well…"
The bell stopped ringing immediately, and his body stiffened. "Master, I'm afraid this won't be possible. This subordinate shouldn't be able to do it."
"Is there any difficulty?" Jiang Yan had a look of doubt in his eyes. It was just a shipment. What's the difficulty?
"Haha..." Zhong Sheng forced a smile on his face. He explained in a low voice, "Master, you don't know something. The Lishui River Pier is not within the inspection range of the regular army, but in the wild, so..."
I see.
Jiang Yan understood that the Lishui River Pier was in the wild, which meant that transporting goods might be in danger.
If this is the case, Zhong Sheng has only been promoted to martial arts, and is indeed not suitable for leading a team.
"That's all, I can only do it by myself."
"By the way, Hall Master, as usual, the Foreign Affairs Hall will also send a small team to help us transport the goods."
The bell warned.
"Really? That's perfect."
"Has the Foreign Affairs Department sent someone to notify you now? Who will be the head of the Foreign Affairs Department coming tomorrow?"
Jiang Yan asked directly.
"We don't know yet." Zhong Sheng shook his head, "There is no news from the Foreign Affairs Office."
"That's it." Jiang Yan smiled, "It doesn't matter, I'll know tomorrow morning."
…
The next day, Jiang Yan came to Jingshui Hall very early.
"Zhongsheng, have all the goods been packed?" Jiang Yan asked directly when he saw the bells.
"alright."
Zhong Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied loudly.
Seeing Zhong Sheng's tired expression and red eyes, Jiang Yan touched his nose and reflected on whether he was too harsh on his subordinates by directly dumping all the affairs of Jing Shui Hall on Zhong Sheng.
They are all so tired.
"The bell..."
Jiang Yan was planning to say some comforting words to soothe his tired soul.
Ta-ta-ta!
Ta-ta-ta!
Suddenly, a crisp sound of horse hooves came from a distance.
A team of horses came galloping with lightning speed.
Hey!
The cavalry stopped in front of Jiang Yan and others, and a man rode forward and asked loudly, "It's all the brothers from Jingshui Hall, right? I'm here at the Foreign Affairs Hall, Gu Dengzhou, to assist Guitangkou in transporting goods today."
…
Jiang Yan held the hilt of the sword tightly, squinting his eyes and staring at Gu Dengzhou's face.
At this moment, his left hand felt cold to the touch. According to Jiang Yan's perception, the source of the coldness came from the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall, Gu Dengzhou.
"Is he carrying something that is infected by a weird negative force, or is this person possessed by a weird thing?"
For a moment, Jiang Yan was in a state of mind and did not come forward to talk.
"cough…"
The bell approached and whispered, "Master."
Jiang Yan came back to his senses. He took a step forward and forced a smile on his face. "Brothers from the Foreign Affairs Hall, I am here, Jiang Yan, the master of Jingshui Hall."
Then, he cupped his fist and saluted Gu Dengzhou, "I have met Brother Gu."
"Hahaha."
Gu Dengzhou took a step forward and jumped off his horse. He came to Jiang Yan and patted Jiang Yan on the shoulder, "Brother Jiang, I have been friends with you for a long time. I have heard your name for a long time. Zhenwutang The name of the number one young genius is like thunder!"
"Haha..." Jiang Yan smiled a little stiffly, "Brother Gu is so complimentary."
Jiang Yan resisted the urge to take action.
At this moment, there were many thoughts running wildly in his mind.
When Gu Dengzhou came into contact with him just now, Jiang Yan clearly sensed that the cold chill detected by the modifier came from the man himself.
So, what is happening to Gu Dengzhou now?
Strange possession? Or something else...
No matter what, whether he is possessed or whether he is weird, this Gu Dengzhou cannot be kept!
"Brother Jiang, please stop being modest."
Gu Dengzhou's hearty laughter could be heard in his ears.
…
Outside Guihua City, in a forest road.
At this moment, Jiang Yan, Gu Dengzhou and others had left the inspection range of the regular army and officially entered the wild.
Wow!
Since entering the jungle, the light suddenly dimmed, as if it had suddenly entered evening from daytime.
The layers of leaves above the head completely block the light, giving people an unusually cold feeling.
Along the way, Jiang Yan was analyzing Gu Dengzhou's condition.
He shouldn't be possessed by a strange creature. After being possessed, a person has become a puppet. Even if he can speak, it can only be a few simple words instinctively. However, Gu Dengzhou kept making dirty talk along the way and was very good at adjusting the atmosphere.
But it is even more unreasonable to judge him as weird, because weirdness is simply impossible for humans to communicate, yes... unable to communicate.
Therefore, Jiang Yan could not determine for a moment what kind of person Gu Dengzhou was at this moment.
But it doesn't matter, since it can be sensed by the modifier's ability, just kill it.
Now, the reason why Jiang Yan hasn't taken action yet is because he suspects that Gu Dengzhou may be hiding his strength.
Therefore, he was a little apprehensive and had not yet completely made up his mind.
Uh-huh!
Above Jiang Yan's head, a gray spider the size of a head fell.
Clang!
A ray of sword light rose up, exploded suddenly, turned into dots of silver light, wrapped around the gray spider and strangled it.
"Good swordsmanship!"
Gu Dengzhou praised, then he drew out his long knife and tore a long green worm beside him into pieces.
The wild jungle is like this, with poisonous insects everywhere and endless killing.
In addition, there are many weird and weird things, but fortunately, these weird things are not very strong.
Along the way, Jiang Yan made frequent moves, which also slightly increased his weird value.
"No, we have to find a way to test Gu Dengzhou's strength."
Jiang Yan led the team forward while looking for opportunities.
A quarter of an hour later, the opportunity finally came.
In the middle of the forest road, a horse skeleton pulling a shabby carriage was slowly running towards it.
Jiang Yan roughly judged through the cold touch on his left hand that this should be a fierce brake.
Combat power corresponds to the body refining realm.
When the shabby carriage came, a jackal happened to pass by.
As a result, the bone horse closed its big mouth and threw the jackal onto the carriage.
Then, there was no movement, and the jackal's bones and flesh melted away, becoming one with the carriage.
Jiang Yan raised the long sword with a solemn expression and said to Gu Dengzhou, "Brother Gu, this thing looks difficult to deal with. It seems we need to fight together."
"It doesn't have to be this way!"
Gu Dengzhou smiled heartily, raised his sword, stepped forward alone, and started fighting with the bone horse.
"Brother Jiang, look at me!"
"This..." Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment. Before he could say the words he had prepared, this guy rushed over stupidly.
"Okay, let me see what your strength is!"
Jiang Yan squinted his eyes and was about to observe Gu Dengzhou's strength, but...
Bang! After a roaring impact, a figure was knocked away and fell directly to the ground.
Wow! Gu Dengzhou vomited blood violently and shouted, "Brother Jiang is so weird and powerful, please hold on for a while..."
"Ah…"
Jiang Yan sneered, "Damn it, you dare to play me, he doesn't believe that Gu Dengzhou will be weirdly injured in a few rounds."
"I'll do it once too." He jumped hard and pointed his sword at the horse's head.
Uh-huh!
Behind Jiang Yan, a vague and malicious gaze locked onto him.
"Yes, he is also testing my strength..."
In an instant, Jiang Yan had a clear understanding in his heart.
…
