Shen Xiu was quite surprised when he saw the eldest son of the Yun family appearing at the entrance of the courtyard. In the past, the monthly salary payments were delivered by the Yun family stewards, but it was the young master of the Yun family who would personally deliver them.
Jin Chengzhi, dressed in brocade clothes, walked into the courtyard with a smile, took out a stack of envelopes from his arms, and handed them to Shen Xiu. They were obviously last month's salary.
Shen Xiu took it and opened it, only to find that there was an extra thousand taels of silver. He immediately looked at Yun Chengzhi opposite him with puzzled eyes.
But at this moment, Yun Chengzhi smiled and clasped his fists and said, "First of all, congratulations to brother Shen Xiu for his further improvement in cultivation. These stipends have now given Brother Shen a level of improvement, and he is treated the same as the five-level martial arts cultivators in the mansion."
Yun Chengzhi's behavior made Shen Xiu somewhat fond of him, so he also clasped his fists and was polite.
At this time, Yun Chengzhi smiled politely, thought for a while and then said: "Now my Yun family needs Brother Shen's help for something!"
"What's going on? Brother Yun, just be honest!"
The Young Master of the Yun family came in person this time, obviously not just to give him a salary. Shen Xiu had already expected it, so he was not surprised to hear this.
"Last month, demons besieged the city and the situation was chaotic. My Yun family also lost contact with some shops in the outside world. Since the demons retreated, the trade routes have been restored and reconnected. Only a pharmacy in Feng'an Town is still missing. …”
Yun Chengzhi's brows tightened, his face full of sadness.
The Yun family operates more than a dozen pharmacies in Heyang County, with extensive investment. Some pharmacies are top priority and have special significance.
Feng'an Town is close to Pingchang City. Previously, it wanted to serve as an outpost to enter the Pingchang City market, so the investment was naturally huge. If this was lost, it would be enough to devastate the Yun family.
"So you want me to go take a look?"
Yun Chengzhi nodded: "Yes, I think Brother Shen will go there this time. He has already sent two second-level experts before, so they are silent, as if they have disappeared from the world."
"Okay, then I'll go take a look."
Since you have earned the emperor's salary, you should perform your duties as emperor. After taking so much money, you naturally have to do something.
Chen Xiu is a five-level martial arts cultivator who has been in the limelight in Shanglin City recently. His cultivation strength has been verified by countless people. With him taking action, the problem will be easier to solve.
Yun Chengzhi immediately told the Feng'an Town pharmacy he went to this time, the location of the pharmacy, and the contact person, although the contact person was probably gone.
After getting this information, Shen Xiu set off all the way to the west, heading for the main road to Pingchang.
Feng'an Town is located between Pingchang City and Shanglin. The terrain is good.
It had to be said that the spillover of demons from the demon mountain had a huge impact. Near Shanglin City, Shen Xiu passed by several villages and found that they all suffered heavy losses due to this impact.
Some villages even lost their chickens and dogs and were completely destroyed.
Since Shanglin moved ten miles away, the situation has become better.
It's just that there are always some places and some unexpected situations. Even if there are no monsters, there will be others.
Among the high mountains and ridges, there is a high-sloping official road.
There are two wooden fences to prevent horses, which are obviously artificial barriers.
The people who set up the gate were more than a dozen tough and gangster-wielding men with swords. They didn't know when they intercepted a bunch of caravans who wanted to pass through, sharpening their knives.
At this moment, there was a strong smell of blood in the surrounding air.
On the ground behind them, several lifeless corpses could be seen lying on the ground. It was obvious that they had resisted to no avail and were decisively killed by him.
When the stopped caravan saw the miserable state of its predecessors, their hearts suddenly trembled, and they couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts.
At this moment, there was a person in charge in the caravan who stood up and stepped forward while remaining calm.
With a slightly trembling wrist, he took out a few banknotes from his arms and handed them to the obvious person in charge, the man with the nine-ringed sword at the head.
"I understand the rules on the road, please tell me..." Although the middle-aged man was afraid, he still managed a smile on his face.
The man holding the Nine Ring Da Dao at the head raised his eyes and gave the middle-aged man a scornful look. He swiped the banknotes from the man's hand with one hand and then counted them with a cruel smile on his face.
"That's it... is this how you seduce us brothers? None of us brothers can resist such temptation..."
Hear this.
The knife-wielding men around him burst into laughter.
Several people immediately stepped forward and took off the middle-aged man's clothes, took out the remaining banknotes, and at the same time moved the goods away and piled them together.
The middle-aged man looked bitter, staggered on his feet, and murmured with a trembling mouth, "This is against the rules, this is against the rules..."
A man passing by laughed playfully when he heard this and said, "It's your grandma's rules."
Then he ignored the lost man and directed a few people to gather the remaining members of the caravan and the scattered people at the rear.
His eyes searched like a hawk, and then he picked out two or three people on the roadside.
After that, these people were allowed to leave one by one.
At this moment, Shen Xiu was also watching the crowd behind him with a rather surprised look.
Among these martial arts masters who observe breath and blood, they are probably at the first or second level.
Only the man at the head, who can withstand the nine-ring sword on his shoulders, is more advanced, and he is probably as good as Zheng in the third realm.
But these were not the things that surprised Shen Xiu. What surprised him was that the few people chosen by the robbers to stay behind were all young men with rather handsome faces.
"Is this weird?"
After taking a look at the robber men with thick backs and thick waists, Shen Xiu had some doubts.
Looking at the ruthless man, it was obvious that he was not a compassionate person, and he would let those people leave like this.
"Hey, I'm calling you. If you don't want to die, stand over there!"
A rough and arrogant shout brought Shen Xiu back from his thoughts. Shen Xiu turned around and looked, but it was a man with a scar on the left side of his face. He bared his big yellow teeth and yelled curses.
The sharp knife in his hand was still shaking in front of him.
Now that he is so harmless to humans and animals, even a second-level martial artist is blatantly looking for him.
After thinking about the Five Realms, his aura was extremely restrained. It would be difficult for others to detect it without using force. It is absolutely normal for something like this to happen.
"Where are those people going?"
Shen Xiu was about to have an attack, and suddenly thought of buying supplementary medicine some time ago, and he had some empty pockets, so he asked immediately.
The boldness of this question made the robber laugh.
"Where else can we go? Of course we have to go to our village to enjoy the blessings!"
The man with the scar on the left side of his face said hey, and then laughed very strangely. The dozen strong robbers beside him also laughed when they heard this.
