In the next few days, Liu Yu seemed to be in a hurry. First, he went to Shungui Pavilion at the foot of the mountain and registered his whereabouts, indicating that he was going down the mountain to serve in the secular world.
Disciples of Huang Sheng Sect cannot leave Huang Sheng Mountain at will. Disciples who leave for a long time must register the reason at Shungui Pavilion. Disciples who go down the mountain without authorization will be severely punished and may even be expelled from the sect.
Then he went to bid farewell to his master Tang Hao. Tang Hao warned Liu Yu again not to lose heart and to concentrate on training. As the saying goes: "Heaven rewards diligence", those who practice Taoism must work hard at all times.
Then the most important thing is to go to the Wanfa Pavilion on the main peak to copy the sixth and seventh levels of "Huangmu Peiyuan Gong" to practice the skills. If Liu Yuhao breaks through the cultivation level in the secular world, he will continue to practice. Delay in practice.
Originally, according to regulations, only the sixth-level exercises could be copied, but because the task of the sect Liu Yu took over was special and took too long, he was allowed to copy the seventh-level exercises. After finishing these important tasks, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to go down the mountain and experience the secular world at any time.
"Hey! Master, what should we do? Just now, Deji Pharmacy sent someone to inquire again." The woman in mourning clothes sitting on the birch chair frowned and looked at the middle-aged man who was wandering in the hall. said.
Liu Qing did not answer his wife's words. Shopkeeper Zhang of Deji Medicine Store had questioned him face to face several times, but he could only speak vaguely and keep pushing back.
What happened in these days left Liu Qing at a loss, and it is still difficult to believe it. Just a few days ago, news came that the eldest brother and the second brother were attacked by bandits when they were away from home, and several of their nephews died tragically.
At first, Liu Qing believed that this was a rumor. His elder brother Liu Xiao had advanced internal skills and had become one of the first-class masters. He was known as the "Thunderbolt Tiger" in the world and was a master of stunts who was extremely powerful and had few rivals.
The second brother Liu Jie also has extraordinary skills and has become one of the first-class masters. He is so good at using a broken jade spear that he is known as the "Thousand Army Tiger" in the world. In addition, there are many escorts accompanying him, all of whom are experienced elites.
When traveling as escorts, it is common for them to be attacked by bandits, but casualties are rare. The escort who escaped not long afterward confirmed with his own lips that the news was not a rumor. At that time, after Liu Qing heard what the escort said, his mind went blank and he could not come back to his senses for a long time.
According to the escort who escaped back, everyone in the Liuyun Escort Bureau left Jiuzheng County with the goods and everything was fine in the past few days. But when passing through Mahu Mountain, they were ambushed by a group of bandits known as Black Tiger Village.
At first, this group of bandits did not get any advantage, but suffered heavy casualties. Everyone in the Liuyun Escort Bureau did not panic and formed a formation. Liu Xiao, the chief escort, and Liu Jie, the second escort leader, were blocking the formation. Black Tiger Village could not break through the formation, and there were many casualties.
But not long after, a swordsman in white came out with a long sword in one hand. He wore a dark mask on his face and carried a long cylindrical weapon covered with linen on his back. It was half a person tall and very strange.
This weird swordsman's swordsmanship is so fast that it dazzles people and makes them unable to parry. The two brothers Liu Xiao were frequently injured in their hands, and eventually died tragically at the hands of this man. This weird swordsman's martial arts has obviously reached the innate realm and is completely natural. But for some reason, he fell into the trap and became a bandit. With his unique skills, if he served the court, he would be a high-ranking official and receive a generous salary.
Liuyun Escort Bureau is well known in Jiuzheng County and has a long-lasting reputation. It has been established for more than 200 years. There are many experts in the escort agency, and they have never lost an escort in decades.
Mr. Liu, the former chief bodyguard of Liuyun Escort Bureau, died of illness three years ago, so the three tigers of the Liu family took charge of the bodyguards. Mr. Liu's name is Liu Li and he has three sons, Liu Xiao, Liu Jie and Liu Qing.
These three sons were in the arena when they were young and became famous. People in the arena called them the "Nine Positives and Three Tigers". And Mr. Liu is even more famous in the world, and has long been among the innate masters. The azure dragon spear was so shocking that countless people were frightened by it.
Liuyun Escort Bureau was opened by Liu Yu's family, and it is a legacy passed down from generation to generation. The originally bustling and prosperous backyard of the Escort Bureau now looked bleak, with few people walking around in the courtyard. The doors and windows are decorated with white cloth strips, and the servants coming and going are all dressed in white plain clothes, walking with their heads lowered, and not daring to make any noise.
"Master, please have a sip of tea!" The woman in filial piety is Liu Qing's first wife, her surname is Ai and her given name is Xiaolan. When she was eighteen years old, she married into the Liu family and has spent thirty years in the Liu family.
"Madam, go and take a rest first! You have worked hard these days." Liu Qing took the tea handed over by his wife and said softly.
"Master, I'll stay with you here! This time I lost the goods from Deji Pharmacy. How much money should I pay to Boss Zhang?" the woman asked with a tired and worried look on her face.
"Madam, the escort goods this time are too valuable, I can't afford to pay for them! If we can't find them back, we have to pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the escort agency will be doomed." Liu Qing told his wife about his worries.
Jiuzheng County is located in a remote area and the people are poor, but there is an extremely precious medicinal herb called Piaocheng herb growing in the mountains.
This herb can emit bursts of fragrance and can be made into special spices. This spice is deeply loved by dignitaries and nobles. There are many herb collectors in Jiuzheng County who make a living by collecting sweetgrass.
This time, the goods that Liuyun Escort Bureau pledged were a large amount of sweetgrass. These fragrant herbs were entrusted by Deji Medicine Store to Liuyun Escort Bureau and transported to the capital of Yue Kingdom. This kind of escort actually happens once a year. Every time Liuyun Escort Bureau completes it successfully, the Escort Agency can also get a large commission.
"Master, can't my family afford so much money? Otherwise, I will go back to my parents' house to borrow some money." The woman was very frightened when she heard that she had to pay so much money.
"Madam, you don't have to worry about the money. You can still get it out of your family. But if this is the case, your family's expenses will be very tight in the future." Liu Qing still had something to say, fearing that his wife would be worried. If Liuyun Escort Bureau cannot recover the goods this time, its reputation will be seriously damaged.
For a long time, merchants in the county will not ask Liuyun Escort Agency for escort services. After all, Liuyun Escort Agency is not the only one in the county. By then Liuyun Escort Agency will exist in name only, and the lives of the Liu family will be lost, and life will become very difficult in the future.
There were cries and noises coming from the courtyard. Liu Qing and his wife stood up and walked out to see what happened. Before he took a few steps, a group of women rushed into the door. It was Liu Qing's eldest sister-in-law's family, and the second sister-in-law's family, all with red eyes.
"Third uncle, you have to avenge your eldest brother!" Wang, wife of Liu Qing's eldest brother, came into the room and cried. Wang is now in her fifties and has silver hair. Supporting her are her three biological daughters.
"Third uncle, your eldest brother and second brother cannot die without knowing anything. Now that you are the only one who can make the decision in the family, you must avenge them!" Mrs. Song, the wife of Liu Qing's second brother, also cried.
Ms. Song is now in her early fifties and already looking old. Her two daughters are also surrounding her.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, please sit down and talk." Liu Qing hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
"Yes! Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please sit down and speak slowly." Liu Qing's wife also advised.
"Third uncle, your eldest brother died so tragically! You must avenge him." Wang suddenly broke away from the support of everyone and knelt on the ground.
"Sister-in-law, get up quickly. I will definitely avenge my brother." Liu Qing quickly helped Wang up and helped her sit on the chair.
A group of women in the main hall became more and more sad as they chatted, and they all burst into tears. Liu Qing could not persuade her, and she could not help crying.
