Several people in the small gang were all from different places. He Nan in the northeast, Wei Kui in the northwest, Xiao Yu in the southeast, and Mr. Chen in the southwest occupied the four corners of Sheng Kingdom.
Even if Wei Kui had already sent his parents to He Nan's house, the four of them had gone in three directions. If they got together again at any time, it would probably delay the original plan. So after some discussion, a few people decided to simply spend this New Year together. It is always more lively when young people are together.
Now that they had made a decision, they started to set off without stopping. They just took the Sihai Gang's speedboat and went straight down to Jiangyou. Finally, they arrived at Yueyue City in time for the New Year - these people were fast and lucky enough. , the day they entered the city happened to be on the threshold of the New Year's Eve afternoon, which also made everyone feel relieved.
"It's already time. Let's go directly to the escort office. I'll show you the way." Xiao Yu pulled the curtain of the carriage and stuck his head out, directing the carriage driver Wei Peng's actions.
"Oh?" Wei Kui's hands holding the horse's bridle were very steady. His horse-riding skills were rarely matched by anyone in the Sirius Army. He just shook the reins slightly and the horse leading the cart stopped. Four hooves.
"Every year on New Year's Day, our whole family will go to the escort agency to gather the remaining escorts to celebrate the New Year together. This can be regarded as a rule inherited from the era when my grandfather was in charge." Xiao Yu explained.
The Taiping Escort Agency is a very humane place. During the holidays, the escorts will be given holidays to go home and visit their relatives. Of course, if they stay at the Escort Agency and give up their vacation, they will also receive additional allowances and benefits. Those who remain in the Escort Agency during the New Year The bodyguards are actually on vacation, but after all, New Year's Eve is one of the most important days of the year, and the emphasis is on a lively reunion, so every year the Yu family spends the New Year with the bodyguards.
In fact, these days, gatherings like Taiping Escort are very common. Many gangs, sects and even small shops do this. Apprentices who cannot return home reunite with the family of the shopkeeper and master and integrate into this group.
Due to the extremely special nature of today, most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed. Signs and doorposts were decorated with lanterns and couplets. There were not many pedestrians on the street, so a few people walked very slowly along the way. It was smooth, and when the sun went down, the carriage stopped steadily at the gate of Taiping Escort Agency.
Xiao Yu knocked on the door, and the one who greeted him was Yu San, one of the housekeepers of the Yu family. He looked at Xiao Yu and the others following him for a moment, then turned around and pulled his neck toward the courtyard and shouted: "Taiping" , your sister is back!" After a while, I saw Yu Taiping running over in a hurry. This kid has been waiting at the door all day today to see when his sister will arrive home, but at the end of the day, there was an endless stream of guests coming and going, but he didn't see her. The shadow of Yu Ruyi passed by, so the lazy Yu Taiping slipped aside to play, but as a result, he had just stepped down from his post.
When he was working as a "door boy", his sister, whom he longed for, knocked on the door. The return of the eldest lady of the Taiping Escort Agency naturally aroused great joy from everyone in the Escort Agency. They gathered at the door to greet them. He Nan and others also took this opportunity to distribute wedding money to the escorts, housekeepers and juniors one by one in the name of Yu Ruyi—— According to Yu Taiping's idea, a son and a daughter would take over two properties respectively. Yu Ruyi Shanwu would naturally be the next head of the escort agency after he abdicated.
In this case, from He Nan's point of view, the sooner Xiao Yu wants to win people's hearts, the better, so before they set off, He Nan specially purchased a lot of festive red tips to use as gift bags, and filled them with some broken pieces. Two taels of silver come in red envelopes.
He Nan was putting the red envelope into a rough hand that was stretched out, when a voice came from in front of him: "Isn't it inappropriate for you kids to give me red envelopes?" When he looked up, he realized that the person coming was none other than Taiping. The head of the escort agency is Yu Maosheng.
"Then it seems it would be more appropriate for Uncle Yu to give us red envelopes." He Nan said with a smile. Yu Maosheng seemed to have been well prepared. He handed the wedding money he had prepared to the three young men one by one. He also included the word "Fu" written by himself in it. It was obvious that he was very attentive: "Today is the most crowded day in recent years." It's been a year." He Nan also noticed that there were more than ten large tables set up in the courtyard of the Taiping Escort Agency. Judging from the number alone, this far exceeded the number of people in the Escort Agency, including family members. They all seemed dissatisfied - Yu Maosheng not only summoned all the escorts from the Taiping Escort Bureau to celebrate the New Year on the spot this year, but also called in many capable men from the firms. His intention was also obvious to He Nan.
"It seems that Uncle Yu has really put in a lot of effort to avenge his shame!" He Nan commented sincerely.
"It is common for people who practice martial arts to get injured, but the robbery of escorts is a major event that will destroy the brand of the escort agency. If I don't let out this bad breath, I won't be able to close my eyes even if I die." Yu Maosheng followed He Nan's gaze and looked back, Knowing what this boy was thinking, he said with a solemn expression.
"Bah, bah, bah, who will die during the Chinese New Year? How unlucky!" Hearing his father's curse, Yu Ruyi rushed up and covered Yu Maosheng's mouth. Mr. Yu, in order to make his daughter happy, had to bah. Three blasts diluted the ominous words to nothing.
"We have learned a lot of information related to this case, and we even have some clues about the identity of the real culprit behind the scenes. I wonder if Uncle Yu is convenient now?" He Nan is not a workaholic. He would never sit down while lying down, but he always insisted on exchanging information as soon as possible - so that although there was no work to do on his hands, his mind must be spinning all the time.
"Of course I have a lot to tell you here - do you know who the mysterious buyer behind this order is? I'm not afraid of you young people laughing at me if I tell you. The buyer came to the door in person in a day, and even I, a veteran, They were all so scared." Yu Maosheng patted He Nan on the shoulder: "It turned out to be Yue Haoran, the best swordsman in the world, who inherited the title of 'Excalibur'!"
"What? The best swordsman in the world?" Old Wei, who was standing aside like a door god, was still in low spirits. When he heard the name of the master, he suddenly became interested: "Then when will he come back? I want to see it. How high is this divine sword’s martial arts!”
"Don't be anxious, young man. I know you have a warlike temperament. As long as we arrange everything properly and successfully take back the lost property, then we will naturally have the opportunity to meet Senior Excalibur - if you want to ask for advice on some moves, I'm sure It's not easy for him to refuse." Seeing that Wei Kui was about to drag the topic to the martial arts competition, Yu Maosheng quickly comforted him.
Yue Haoran, this name He Nan has heard from the mouth of Chen Longque, the senior brother of Jinghong Sect. This person has extremely advanced martial arts. It is said that his swordsmanship has reached the extreme level. He ranks first among the ten famous swords.
"No matter how young" is his sword, and He Nan is not only concerned about this, what really makes him associate is the evil sword and
Commonalities between "Zai Nian": "I heard that the best sword in the world, Zai Nian Shao, belongs to Senior Yue. Can Senior Yue mention that there are some common characteristics between these two swords? Maybe this is also one of our breakthroughs." Yu Maosheng nodded, confirming He Nan's inquiry, but also expressed his worries: "Senior Shenjian brought his sword with him when he came, and showed it to me. I saw it with your aunt, and it is indeed well-deserved. As for both of them, it seems that they both have the ability to seal one's throat upon seeing blood, which was also recognized by Senior Excalibur. And he also told me the purpose of purchasing this evil sword at no expense, It is precisely to seal these two ominous objects together to prevent them from spreading in the world and causing disasters. As for the two swords we imitated, although they look similar in appearance, the real sword must have power when it is unsheathed. Yes, I'm afraid people will see through this. This is also what Senior Shenjian meant. If people really see through it, wouldn't the show we finally put on be in vain?
"
"Uncle Yu, is there any way to contact Senior Shenjian before the auction?" For some reason, He Nan suddenly asked this question, and Wei Kui also showed an expectant look - but obviously the two of them were not concerned about it. Same reason.
"Well... before senior left, he told me how to contact him. What, do you want to..." Yu Maosheng asked.
Hearing Chief Yu's approval, He Nan couldn't help but chuckle. He already had the plan in mind: "Since uncle and senior Shenjian are worried that it will be difficult to attract others through fraud, then we might as well do it."
"Fakes will eventually be seen through, but the real number one sword in the world will be the best among all others. I just want to... let the senior swordsman borrow the sword - use that 'younger boy' as bait to lure him away. Take the bait." He Nan said seriously.
