Black Rock City, inner city, Yonghefang.
The main residence of the Xu family.
In the study, Xu Ling was pacing back and forth with a solemn expression.
She successfully entered the Jin Dynasty at the age of twenty-four and became a Jin martial arts master. She is already one of the best in the world.
The Xu family has also become the top force in Black Rock City.
Those high-ranking martial arts masters were now more polite than the last, and there was a mountain of posts inviting her to attend meetings.
Today's business in nearby cities can be described as smooth.
But something happened recently that made her a little worried.
The commercial bank was preparing to expand its business, so it extended its foot into the farther city of Baijie. Unexpectedly, it was this move that ruined everything.
Half a month ago, the commercial bank received a big order in Baijie City.
If it works, I can earn more than 10,000 taels of silver at least.
But if the mission fails, the business bank may have to pay thirty thousand taels of silver.
With the current strength of the Xu family and the Su family, 30,000 taels of silver can be obtained with gritted teeth, but that would require a lot of effort.
Let alone expand the business bank in the future, I am afraid that it will not even be able to hold on to its current fundamentals.
But if the caravan continues its mission, it may never come back.
Because she met a master who claimed to be the leader of the Blood Spirit Hall of the Immortality Religion. The other party invited her to join the sect and said that he would support the development of the business in the future.
Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk.
Thinking of the order from Baijie City, Xu Ling felt that she might have fallen into a trap.
This is a trap.
The Immortality Sect is a cult and is wanted by the city. Naturally, she does not want to be associated with this force.
She discussed it with Su Yun, and Su Yun's suggestion was to find a few more experts to accompany them. It would be best to bring Lu Yi along, and then move directly to Fucheng after completing the task.
Xu Ling thought over and over again and decided not to tell Han Zhao for the time being.
In the past, she would write letters to Han Zhao every once in a while and send some money.
But eight months ago, Han Zhao wrote back to her, telling her not to send any more money.
It was also difficult for her to write letters frequently.
After all, Han Zhao was working hard alone in Fucheng, so he had to be free from worries. She didn't want to write a letter when she had nothing to do, and make Han Zhao uneasy.
However, the stakes were very high at this time, and if something happened, she would still notify Han Zhao.
It was agreed at the beginning that she would go to Fucheng to find him after she gained strength.
Xu Ling couldn't hold back her longing for a long time, but she still wanted to make another fortune before leaving.
After all, if you go to Fucheng, your expenses will definitely increase significantly.
Han Zhao will definitely not stop here.
So she didn't dare to slack off and didn't want the gap to widen.
"I hope Su Yun can find some masters."
Xu Ling sighed secretly.
Five days later.
evening.
At the gate of Su's house, a man and a woman came.
The man is dressed in blue clothes and swinging a folding fan.
The woman wears a long white dress with veil covering her face.
The two of them looked at the plaque on the door and stopped.
"Cousin, this should be here, right?"
"There is only one Su family in Black Rock City, and it must be here."
The two people were surprisingly Su Tianqi and Su Ningqiu.
It turned out that Su Yun wrote a letter to the head of the family in Fucheng specifically because of this mission, hoping that the Su family in Fucheng would send a martial arts master to help.
The Su family in this city is a branch of the Su family, one of the three major aristocratic families in Yunzhou.
Eight months ago, Su Tianqi was frightened by Lang Fanyun's strength, so he left Fucheng after returning to shore and traveled around the surrounding cities for several months.
Later, he met the children of the Su family in Fucheng and was invited to Fucheng.
Although the Su family in Fucheng is not a top power, there is also a Qi master sitting in charge, and their strength is not weak.
For Su Tianqi and Su Ningqiu, who are the main lineage of the Su family, the Su family greets them with good wine and food all day long.
However, Su Tianqi was not very interested in eating, drinking, having fun, or women.
The only thing he's interested in is practicing martial arts and becoming famous.
So, after learning that the Su family in Black Rock City was in trouble, he volunteered to drag Su Ningqiu along.
After witnessing the battle between Lang Fanyun and Qian Luohai, Su Tianqi felt that his road to fame was long and arduous, and he had to do it step by step.
The Immortality Sect is naturally not easy to mess with, but Black Rock City is a small city whose name he has never even heard of.
The Immortal Cultists who hang out in such a small town are able to practice their strength to the fullest.
Against warriors of the same level, he still has absolute confidence.
Otherwise, he, a true disciple of Tianxuan Sect, would become a parallel import.
Of course, except for the monsters on the Kirin List.
"Cousin, if you want to deal with the Immortality Cult, there is no need to come to a small place like this, right? Did the last incident leave such a big psychological shadow on you?"
Su Ningqiu was a little disgusted.
It was only after the last incident that she realized that her cousin was not eating well, he was clearly frightened by Lang Fanyun.
After the grandmaster battle, my cousin didn't dare to go to Fucheng. This time, he even came to such a small town in the corner.
"Shh! Cousin, can you please stop mentioning what happened last time?"
Su Tianqi shook the folding fan lightly.
"You didn't come to this place because you were afraid of encountering waves, right?" Su Ningqiu looked at him with disdain.
"Cousin, this is wrong. The Su family in Black Rock City is from the same clan as us and is also a member of the Su family. How can we ignore death?"
Su Tianqi said righteously.
He felt that the biggest stumbling block on the road to future fame was the cousin in front of him.
In order to prevent her from exposing his shortcomings in the future, he had no choice but to marry her home!
"I see, I've thought too much." Su Ningqiu nodded, feeling that what her cousin said did make sense.
In any case, the Su family here has a blood connection with them, and my thoughts just now were too cold-blooded.
Women are really troublesome, Su Tianqi sighed inwardly.
"This young man, this young lady, who are you?" The concierge saw that the two of them were well dressed and had extraordinary temperament. He stopped at the door, pointed, and stepped forward to ask about the situation.
Su Tianqi smiled and said nothing, acting like a master.
Su Ningqiu thought about her misunderstanding about him, so she took the initiative to answer: "Tell your master, we are from the Su family in Fucheng."
"Two distinguished guests, please wait a moment. I will go and inform you immediately." When the concierge heard about the Su family in Fucheng, he looked solemn and immediately entered the house.
Da da da!
After a while, the sound of rapid footsteps came.
A beautiful woman wearing a purple dress and a rich look came out.
The person coming was none other than Su Yun.
"My Su Yun is the eldest daughter of Su Xingzhi, the head of the Su family in Black Rock City. Are you two from Fucheng?" Su Yun looked respectful.
"Exactly." Su Tianqi shook the folding fan lightly and smiled lightly.
"My name is Su Ningqiu, and this is my cousin Su Tianqi." Su Ningqiu said proudly.
"Excuse my ignorance, are you two sent by the Su family in Fucheng, or have you traveled here? I wrote a letter to the Su family in Fucheng for help, yes."
Su Yun asked bravely.
After all, these two people seemed to be about the same age as her, and they really didn't look like experts.
When Su Ningqiu heard this, she frowned slightly, raised her head and said, "What you said is right. If you hadn't written to ask for help, would we have come to this place where birds don't shit? See clearly! I am a martial arts practitioner. My cousin is one year older than me, and he has become very powerful! Are you qualified enough to help?"
"It's because of my poor eyesight that I offended you. Please forgive me." Su Yun quickly bowed and apologized.
Her original expectation was that the Su family in Fucheng would send a more powerful martial arts master to come down, but she didn't expect that two would come as soon as she arrived, and there was also a top master who was a master of martial arts.
The key is that both of them are too young, which she never expected.
"Cousin, I'm serious." Su Tianqi folded his fan and gave Su Ningqiu a lesson.
"Oh." Seeing Su Tianqi speak, Su Ningqiu obediently retreated behind him.
Seeing this, Su Tianqi glanced at her gratefully, then waved his hand towards Su Yun and said nonchalantly:
"Miss Su, it doesn't have to be like this. As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. Please tell me the whole story in detail, so that I can help you deal with these clowns."
In his opinion, the so-called masters must first be steady and never do anything that is uncertain, and the second thing is not to be arrogant.
Those who flatter their superiors and bully their subordinates are the worst.
"Thank you Mr. Su, I would like to invite two distinguished guests to enter the house first." Su Yun said with a smile. This Mr. Su was young, handsome and gentle, which reminded her of Han Zhao.
However, apart from his appearance and personality, Han Zhao was far behind Su Tianqi in terms of family background and strength.
According to Han Zhao's training progress, he is probably just practicing his strength at this moment.
She had just achieved a breakthrough in Qi and blood half a year ago.
Watching Su Ningqiu and Su Tianqi, who were younger than her, one was practicing and the other was perfecting his strength, I couldn't help but sigh at how different the world was.
The gap between people is sometimes bigger than that between people and dogs.
One's birth determines most of the future encounters.
Of course, there were exceptions among the people she knew.
That is Han Zhao.
Xu Ling counts as half.
After all, Xu Ling's family background is not bad, and his qualifications are almost different from hers.
The only difference between her and Xu Ling is that she doesn't have Han Zhao.
Su Yun led Su Tianqi and Su Ningqiu into the house and took them all the way to the living room.
"Please, both of you."
When the two of them entered the living room, she quickly motioned for the maid to go in and wait on them, and then called three servants.
"Wang Wu, you go to Shengyun Tower immediately to buy some food and wine and come back. Buy the most expensive and best ones!"
"Uncle Hei, go and tell Chef Wang to cook some of his specialty dishes. There will be distinguished guests to entertain later."
Su Yun took out a hundred taels of silver notes from her arms and handed them to Wang Wu, "If you don't have enough money, just record it first."
"Yes, Miss!" Wang Wu and Uncle Hei acted separately.
"Xiao Ding, go to Xu's house and inform Xu Ling that someone from the Su family in Fucheng is coming. Let her come later. Just ask her to prepare a banquet at noon tomorrow."
"yes."
Noon the next day.
Xu Zhai.
"Hurry up and hurry up. We're finally back. It should be in time."
Han Zhao stood at the door, panting slightly.
Transform into waves and follow behind.
He traveled more than three thousand miles day and night.
Fortunately, there was the entry "One person can change a thousand times", which allowed him to transform into a wild goose, a shark, or a cheetah. He traveled a long distance and came back in less than four days.
Although the entry was only effective for two hours, these three animals were all fast in the sky, in the water, and on the ground. Coupled with the terrifying endurance of humans, he covered one-third of the distance in six hours.
The concierge saw two well-dressed young men standing at the door. He went up and took a look. Looking at the handsome and handsome profile, he immediately recognized Han Zhao's identity and said excitedly: "Uncle, are you back?"
Han Zhao has not yet married Xu Ling, but to the servants in the house, he is already the man of the house.
"Is your young master at home?" Han Zhao asked with a smile.
"The Young Master's family is entertaining guests in the living room. It is said that distinguished guests from the Su family in Fucheng are here." The concierge said respectfully.
"Young man, go and notify the young master's family now."
"No, I'll give her a surprise." Han Zhao waved his hand and walked into the house.
No wonder Xu Ling told him about the attack on the caravan only afterward in the simulation.
Probably because someone from the Su family came to Fucheng, she thought everything was fine, but she didn't expect that the Immortality Cult would send out experts.
At this time, Xu Zhai was in the living room.
Su Yun deliberately changed a large table in the middle of the living room.
Grilled lamb chops, crispy duck, braised lion's head, baked carp noodles, braised shrimps
Seeing that Su Tianqi had a normal appetite yesterday, she specially prepared a table full of good wine and food today.
"Mr. Su, the preparations were hasty yesterday and the greeting was not good. How do you think of today's dish? We asked the master chef to make this carp noodles. It is a specialty of Yuanchang. You can try it. And this."
Su Yun poured wine for Su Tianqi while introducing today's special dishes.
"You're welcome, Miss Su." Su Tianqi smiled faintly, picked up the baked noodles and soaked them in the soup to soften them, then picked up a piece of fresh fish and put them into his mouth together.
"Master Su, Xu Ling and I toast you together." Su Yun stood up and signaled with her eyes.
Xu Ling also stood up.
I heard that Mr. Su, who came from Fucheng, didn't want any money, just to deal with the Immortality Sect, so he really deserves a toast.
He has mastered his skills at a young age and would be a genius anywhere.
I'm afraid that her junior brother Han won't be able to compare with her for the time being. After all, the difference in background is too big.
"Yeah." Su Tianqi chewed the food in his mouth and picked up the wine glass.
"I'm coming too." Su Ningqiu also raised a glass together.
"It seems that I came at just the right time." Han Zhao stood outside the living room and saluted the four people inside with cupped fists.
"Junior Brother Han?!" Xu Lingxun shouted, surprised and happy. If someone hadn't been there, she would have jumped up.
"Pfft!" Before Su Tianqi had a sip of wine down his throat, he suddenly saw Lang Fanyun next to Han Zhao and sprayed Su Ningqiu directly.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
He coughed violently and choked to death. There was a burning sensation in his trachea. The baked noodles softened by the soup were sucked into his nasal cavity, and a small piece of it was exposed from his nostrils. He choked on tears.
That look, how embarrassing, how embarrassing!
"Cousin, what are you doing!" Su Ningqiu said coquettishly, her chest area was wet with wine, revealing her ordinary shape.
"You cough, cough, cough! You, you, you!" Su Tianqi coughed violently, thinking of the terrifying appearance of Lang Fanyun using the indestructible power of the Vajra, his tongue was a little knotted.
Seeing this, Han Zhao turned his head and said in confusion: "Do you know each other?"
After speaking, he controlled the avatar and asked Su Tianqi:
"We know each other?"
"I don't know you! I definitely don't know you!" Su Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Your voice sounds familiar? We..." the incarnation said calmly.
Han Zhao felt as if he had heard his voice somewhere.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Ah sneeze——!" Su Tianqi denied again, and sneeze sprayed out the baked noodles in his nostrils.
"Oops! Cousin, that day Young Master Lang fought against Grand Master Heibang on the river. Didn't we watch the battle from a distance?"
Seeing that he was so afraid, Su Ningqiu couldn't help but talk to him.
"Yes, yes!" Su Tianqi clapped his hands and suddenly realized, looking at Su Ningqiu that he was almost moved to tears. This cousin is really a loser!
Su Tianqi's mind was racing at high speed. After carefully considering his words and sentences, he cupped his fists and said:
"My dear, Su Tianqi, I was watching the battle from a distance that day. I was lucky enough to see Brother Lang slaying the master with his sword and riding the waves. I was yearning for it! It's a pity that we can't have a drink and have a good time. It's really sad! It's really a blessing to see Brother Lang today. ah!"
No wonder he was so scared, the main reason was that his behavior of 'picking up leaks' that day could be big or small.
If Lang Fanyun is a vengeful person and he is killed with a single sword, even if the Su family avenges him afterwards, what's the use?
He is not afraid, this is called a hero who does not suffer immediate losses and who knows the current affairs is a hero!
"Lang Fanyun." The incarnation cupped his fists and returned the salute.
"I see. I was there that day, and I said Mr. Su's voice sounded familiar." Han Zhao responded.
Su Tianqi's expression tightened, sweat began to form on his forehead, and he asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
"I've met Brother Su. My name is Han Zhao, and I'm a friend of Brother Lang." Han Zhao smiled.
"Lang is not your friend. He just lost a bet to you and promised to protect you for five years." Jihua said calmly.
Who was Han Zhao that he could make the descendant of Tiansheng Dongtian agree to protect him for five years? Su Tianqi was shocked.
He walked forward and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out to be Brother Han! Disrespectful!"
"Where." Han Zhao felt that Su Tianqi was a little too enthusiastic, and immediately looked at Xu Ling and Su Yun.
Xu Ling blinked his eyes with a cute expression.
Su Yun opened her mouth but hesitated, not knowing what to say.
It turns out that Mr. Su is polite and distant to others, not because he has a calm personality, but because he hasn't met anyone who can make him enthusiastic.
Although she didn't understand it completely, she also knew that Lang Fanyun in front of her seemed to be a very remarkable person.
And it doesn't seem easy for Han Zhao to let Lang Fanyun serve as a bodyguard.
"Have you two eaten yet? Let's go together?" Su Tianqi asked.
"Okay, I happen to be hungry." Han Zhao nodded.
"No need." Incarnation shook his head slightly and walked out of the yard.
"Brother Su, don't be offended. Brother Lang is just not good at words, but he is still a very good person." Han Zhao explained.
"I understand, it's normal for a master to have a temper. People like Brother Han are in the minority after all." Su Tianqi's smile did not change, "Come, Brother Han, please take a seat."
It's Yan Baichuan again, so familiar to Han Zhao, he secretly cursed in his heart.
"Okay." Han Zhao took the first place without any politeness.
"Come on, Brother Han, we hit it off as soon as we met. We must have a few more drinks." Su Tianqi said enthusiastically.
He was on pins and needles at the moment.
Since Lang Fanyun is now Han Zhao's bodyguard, he will definitely listen to Han Zhao's words, and if he is recognized later, he will definitely be able to mediate.
He, Su Tianqi, will become famous in the future!
Now you have to be cowardly!
"Brother Su, you're welcome." Han Zhao took the full glass of wine from Xu Ling and drank it all in one gulp.
"Come, Brother Han, I will respect you again."
"good."
Su Yun was completely stunned as she watched Su Tianqi toast Han Zhao in an almost flattering manner.
After finishing the meal, Su Tianqi didn't give anyone else a chance to interrupt.
At night.
A wing in the backyard of Xu's house.
afterwards.
Xu Ling's face was flushed and she lay softly in Han Zhao's arms.
The two whispered quietly.
"Are you saying that Mr. Su is not an enthusiastic person?"
Han Zhao said doubtfully.
"Before you came, Mr. Su seemed polite and courteous, but he was full of pride." Xu Ling recalled carefully.
As she said that, she suddenly hugged Han Zhao's head, "Hurry up and call me! Why is he afraid of you?"
"Woooooo~"
A chest murder case broke out.
PS: A monthly ticket of 1,200 yuan will be added.
It was written by the author of Going Ashore, you understand.
