Yu San'er heard the knocker knocking outside the door of the mansion, and went to greet him in three steps and two steps at a time.
"May I ask what you are doing?" Yu San'er was very cautious. He grabbed the door leaf with one hand and held the door latch with the other hand to prevent the other party from breaking in easily.
You can't blame him for acting petty - look at this guy, he's wearing a brocade-made robe underneath, and a rough-textured hooded cloak on the outside. There's also a three-foot-long sword hanging from his waist. . After staying in the Yu family for so many years, Yu San'er has also gained a lot of knowledge. People in the world who dress like this may have a grudge against the master.
"I'm here for the Escort Agency. Can this little friend inform Director Yu on my behalf?" As he said this, the guest had already lifted his hood, revealing a face that looked very distinguished. , but Yu San'er thought that the other party was at least three or four years older than the head of the family. Although his temples and beard had some silver threads, he didn't seem to be able to call himself an old man.
Many people visit Yu Mansion on weekdays, but after all, this is Yu Maosheng's home and not his workplace. Yu San'er hesitated for a moment, then followed the owner's instructions: "If you have goods to entrust, sir, I can help you." You lead the way to Taiping Escort Agency."
The old man shook his head: "I have already been to the Taiping Escort Agency. The people from the Escort Agency said that Director Yu was at the house, so they went in circles."
The other party had already said this, so it was naturally not convenient for Yu San'er to refuse. Fang asked: "Old sir, can you tell me a name? It will be easier for me to answer when I inform the head of the family."
"Just say it's the employer who asked him to find the sword."
As soon as these words came out, even Yu San'er was shocked - he had been working in the Yu family for many years and was deeply trusted. He knew a lot about things in the escort agency or the company. He also knew the whole story of the "evil sword escort" .
What made Mr. Yu most uneasy was this mysterious buyer - in Yu Maosheng's heart, even if the buyer came to investigate after hearing about this incident, he still felt relieved.
But now someone really came to the door under the guise of a buyer. Yu San'er was a little panicked, and the two steps towards the inner courtyard were a bit awkward.
Not long after, Yu Maosheng and Mu Jiao, led by Yu San'er, received this "uninvited guest".
Yu Maosheng and Yu San'er made the same judgment. The middle-aged man with the sword was a master, but the basis for their judgment was completely different - Yu San'er mainly relied on his experience in interacting with people to identify , but Chief Yu uses Qi’s perception.
Many masters will be familiar with this method after mastering Zhenqi to a certain extent, and will usually use it to test the strength of others - misjudgments will naturally occur, but the occurrence of "misjudgment" is usually just a matter of The person being tested deliberately hides his or her own aura and strength, and rarely overestimates others.
In other words, a person will only be stronger than the result perceived by Zhen Qi.
If the buyer coming to the door made everyone in the Taiping Escort Bureau feel shocked and a little uneasy, then the result that Yu Maosheng felt was that the chief executive of one of the three major escort agencies in the Central Plains was sweating and his heart was shaking.
The strength of this man's Qi Sea was that of a top master who far surpassed his own. The real Qi Yu Maosheng put into the past test was swallowed up by the opponent like a mud cow entering the sea and disappeared without a trace. Two years ago, Yu Maosheng personally led a team to be escorted by Changfeng Academy to escort a batch of goods, and therefore had an acquaintance with Master Zhu Jie - it is difficult to say how high this person's martial arts is, but in Yu Maosheng's view, he is definitely not Then I wish you the best.
For masters of this level, let alone the Escort Bureau after its vitality was severely damaged, even if all the masters in the Escort Bureau in its heyday were to attack at the same time, most of them would be killed or injured. Thinking of this, Yu Maosheng suddenly remembered that Yu San'er had just mentioned when he came to report that the mysterious buyer had already been to the Escort Bureau - according to common sense, when such an important guest visited, the Escort Agency should have heard the news non-stop. , this last time someone had to accompany me to Yu’s house, why was there no sound or response?
A terrible suspicion has already emerged in Yu Maosheng's mind, and his body subconsciously protected his wife behind him - Could it be that the employer came to investigate because he heard rumors of missing goods?
The escort agency has been completely wiped out at this moment, so why no one came back with a message?
"Master Yu, I misunderstood...I never mentioned that I was related to that escort trip at the escort agency, so the escorts only regarded me as an employer who came to inquire about the price." The old man saw Yu Maosheng's uneasiness. , so he comforted him and said, "I came here today not to accuse anyone, but to confirm whether this matter is true, and then we can discuss a solution."
As soon as he heard that the other party took the initiative to forgive himself, Yu Maosheng relaxed a little. He felt grateful in his heart, clasped his fists and bowed, "I haven't asked the seniors for their surnames yet."
"Yue Haoran." The old swordsman did not put any prefix in front of his name, but these three words alone explained everything.
It is impossible for anyone in the martial arts world not to have heard of this name.
He is the object of admiration for swordsmen all over the world. He is the pinnacle of a weapon in this world and represents the perfection of the art of swordsmanship.
The proud disciple of the Divine Sword Zhu Ji, he used his wooden sword to slay a dragon when he was just starting out, defeating the long-famous genius Long Feiyu, and succeeded his master's Divine Sword as the best sword in the world.
Yu Maosheng did not expect that this order that brought him endless trouble was actually issued by the "Excalibur" senior - and after the old swordsman reported his family name, he never had any doubts.
There are only a few top masters in the world, and others cannot impersonate them even if they want to.
"Senior, follow me to my seat." Yu Maosheng led Yue Haoran into the room, and at the same time inquired about some details: "Senior has a thunderous name, and is powerful in the world, and Wan Sheng admires me. But Wan Sheng also has something that I would like to ask senior for advice - there should be some advice in the world. There has been no news about your senior for nearly ten years. A friend of mine has also visited Jianmen Mountain, but it seems that you have not retreated in the mountain." ap.
Although he has the reputation of being a swordsman, Yue Haoran seems to be an old man who is relatively easy to get along with. This issue is actually relatively private, but he still said as the saying goes: "It's just traveling around the world."
However, Yue Haoran did not forget the purpose of coming here, and quickly changed the topic to the main business: "I was outside, and all I heard were rumors. Today I went to the Yu Bureau Chief's Mansion in person, just to pass the Yu Bureau. I have learned the full story from the Lord’s mouth, and I have no intention of asking for guilt, so I ask Director Yu to tell the truth.”
When opening an escort agency, credibility comes first. Since Yue Haoran came to the door in person, Yu Maosheng naturally would not hide anything and told the whole story of the incident.
After listening, Yue Haoran was speechless, but took off the sword from his waist and placed it on the case in front of him: "Do you know why I tried so hard to get the evil sword?"
"I hope senior can give me some advice." Yu Maosheng said respectfully.
"Director Yu is also a master, so he must have heard of my sword "Zaiyoun". Yue Haoran said: "My master taught me the sword just so that this murderous weapon would not fall into the hands of thieves."
"However, I heard rumors about this evil sword from the Western Regions not long ago - all signs indicate that the two swords have similar properties and may be from the same source - then how can "No matter how young" you are? If it can be done, the Evil Sword of the Western Region must do the same. "
Yu Maosheng was sweating after hearing this, and asked cautiously: "In other words, that evil sword also has the power to kill?"
Yue Haoran sighed: "Back then, when I was young and energetic, I felt that my master was making a fuss, so I insisted on unsealing this sword. But now that I am also a person who knows destiny, I suddenly realized that my master's original decision was extremely correct."
"Whether it is the Evil Sword of the Western Region or this one in my hand, they are both ominous objects that cannot be preserved in the incident. I spent all my efforts to find the sword just to seal these two swords permanently with my own hands - but as expected, no one can As expected, there are many people who are interested in this sword. Now that the evil sword falls into the hands of these young people, I am afraid that it will cause another bloody storm in the world." Yue Haoran sighed.
Yu Maosheng called Yu San'er, whispered something to him, and then asked the old swordsman for advice: "Just now, Yu also told his seniors that our Taiping Escort Bureau wanted to imitate the evil sword and hold a grand party to lure the snake out of its hole. Now the imitation The product has begun to take shape, so it’s better for the seniors to come and take a look at it, so that they can also give some advice to the younger students.”
The two sipped tea for a while, Yu San
Er has already taken out the imitation evil sword from the warehouse and put it in an exquisite box.
But Yue Haoran only glanced at it briefly and then frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but was unable to say it due to Yu Maosheng's warm reception.
"Senior, feel free to speak your mind." Boss Yu also knows how to read people's eyes and said hurriedly.
After a moment, Yue Haoran exhaled and said: "The workmanship is not bad, and the appearance is indeed difficult to judge the authenticity, but the material of this sword is extremely special, which is absolutely impossible to imitate with ordinary materials - this sword is more than enough to seduce the layman. , but if the person who took the sword has thoroughly studied the characteristics of the evil sword, I am afraid it will be exposed soon."
"Forget it, it's hard for people to fully understand just what I say, so I'll just let you take a look!"
After saying this, the old swordsman drew his sword, and the gray sword came out of its sheath with a roar, as if there were bells and drums ringing in unison, and the instruments were the sea and the sky.
