Chapter 139 Escort (Part 2)
After Zhao Feng heard this, he did not rush to answer. Instead, he glanced at the faces of the people around him. When he saw that those people did not pay attention, he used his soul to send a message:
"There are many people here, so don't make any noise for now. We will make a conclusion after we get back."
"yes."
When the banquet was over, everyone left one after another. This short gathering was just to make these families familiar. Unfortunately, the flattering gestures of these chambers of commerce were not recognized by the family forces. To put it bluntly, it was still Regarding the issue of status, for the children of these families, they always think of being condescending when looking at the world. Apart from the sect's power, the only ones that can come into their eyes are family power that is equal to or higher than them.
As for the people in the escort agency, although they have the lowest status among this group of people, they are mostly warriors who have wandered around the world. Naturally, they are not willing to bow to these people, let alone get involved. After transporting the escorts, they take the money and leave. The escort agency's style of conduct is so straightforward.
It was almost midnight when Zhao Feng returned to his residence, but none of the men in the escort agency had fallen asleep. When everyone saw him coming back, they breathed a sigh of relief.
The young man's face was a little solemn. He called everyone into the same room, and then told everyone what happened today. To be honest, he didn't have much expectations for the reward after transporting the escort. Compared to that For a small profit, he is more concerned about the factional calculations hidden behind the dart transport.
The past few years of dormancy have given him a great understanding of the forces in the court. In Luo Yun State, the Tan family and the Ouyang family belong to the same sect, while the Zhang family on Mo Shang and the Lu family on Mo Shang are another sect. If we talk about this time If there is any danger in transporting escorts, it must be the Zhang family and the Lu family that are causing trouble.
The reason why the Tan family chose to summon other forces to transport the darts was because they knew that there would be ambushes from hostile forces along the way. If they didn't succeed, they could openly blame them and let them take the blame. There was not much loss, at most, some of the guards and attendants died.
And if it succeeds, the credit belongs to the Tan family alone. Such a thing that kills two birds with one stone, the Tan family can definitely imagine.
After Zhao Feng's analysis, everyone's faces became solemn, and some of the more impatient people even yelled:
"This old bastard really has a good plan. Let us work hard to get the benefits ourselves. How can there be such a treacherous person in this world!"
"Haha, didn't Luo Yunguo make his fortune through treachery?"
"None of the six major families are kind."
…
Just when these rough guys were talking about each other, Zhao Feng made a silence gesture, and everyone immediately shut up. Although they didn't know what happened, they must have discovered it when they saw the shopkeeper's sale signal. What.
Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, a group of masked men in black slowly opened a few plates of tiles on the tile beams, as if to see what was going on inside, but it was pitch dark inside, and these people did not Finding something, after staying for a quarter of an hour, the man in black quietly left.
Hearing the sound go away, everyone let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, everyone didn't light candles just now, otherwise they would have been discovered. And the reason why the man in black couldn't see everyone in the room just now was precisely because of them. A thick layer of black cloth was wrapped around the beam, and the entire horizontal surface was covered. No matter whether the other party opened the tile, they would not be able to see what was going on inside.
Not only that, there are no windows in this house. Unless the other party is at the level of the chivalrous realm and can use his soul to detect it, they also know that if the other party is really a master of the chivalrous realm, then there is no need for them to hide it. Well, after all, their escort agency claims that its highest strength is the realm of Mang.
Zhao Feng's expression became solemn again. This was actually not the first time that they had been investigated. In the past six years in Yunxi County, these mysterious people had visited a total of forty-seven times. It was precisely because the other party had visited so many times. , they can become familiar with each other and develop the habit of discussing matters without lighting up the lamp, but the lazy young man does not know whether the other party is sent by the Tan family or the Ouyang family.
After the other party walked away, Zhao Feng put down his finger, indicating that everyone could talk.
"Shopkeeper, should we go this time? I always feel a little uneasy."
"I also feel uneasy, so maybe we should not go."
"Yeah, I agree."
"This escort operation must be in great danger!"
…
Listening to everyone's words, the lazy young man knew that everyone was worried about his safety. If something happened to him again, the Zhao Yuntian lineage of the Zhao family would be extinct.
However, Zhao Feng did not want to give up this opportunity to get close to the six major families. Once he succeeded, he would be one step closer to the top management of Luo Yun Kingdom, and he believed that he would be able to come into contact with the specific secrets of how Yinren Village was destroyed.
After thinking about it for a moment, he finally made up his mind.
"Go, you must go!"
…………
Outside Yunxi City, a group of masked people in night clothes sneaked into the back garden of the city lord's mansion along the lake. When they surfaced and landed on the pavilion, a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi had been waiting for a long time. .
The man in black was not shocked. Instead, he used his inner strength to disperse the water droplets on his body, walked quickly to the middle-aged man, and then whispered:
"There are five in total."
The middle-aged man nodded after hearing this, and then asked:
"Has everything been resolved?"
"Sir, everything has been dealt with, and there will be no further trouble."
"Well, let's all go back."
"yes."
…
Early the next morning, Zhao Feng set out with eight men from the escort agency. It was not until noon that he arrived at the east side of Yunxi City. This was the meeting point of their team. But when he came here, he felt a little strangeness.
"Why are there two families missing?"
"Maybe those two families are still on their way here." Someone speculated.
"Probably not. Although the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce and the Xue Family Chamber of Commerce have not settled in the city, they are not far from here, at least much closer than me." The person who spoke was other than those two chambers of commerce present. A chamber of commerce, the Xu Family Chamber of Commerce.
"Could there be an accident on the road?"
"It's a joke. Who dares to cause trouble near Yunxi City? This is not asking for death!"
The person who made the sarcasm was the owner of the escort agency. However, he regretted it as soon as he said this. If no one dared to offend Yunxi City, then the only one who could do it was Yunxi City itself.
Some people looked at each other in confusion. Although they had some guesses as to the reason, there was no conclusive evidence to prove that something had really happened to the two chambers of commerce.
