Chapter 271, The One Who Delivered the Letter
On the wide pier, in the midst of the crowded flow of people, a group of strangers wearing hats stopped on the side of the road.
The wearers of these people are dressed like hidden knights in the rivers and lakes, all of them are blue robes, and the hats are low, so that people cannot see their eyes.
In addition, each of them carried on their backs an object wrapped in a long strip of cloth, whether it was a sword or a spear.
Despite the peculiar appearance of this group of strangers, few people paid attention to them in this crowded dock.
In fact, Nanfu City has developed rapidly in the past two years, and a large number of foreign businessmen have poured in, not to mention the knights of the rivers and lakes wearing hats, or the prince and princess of the brocade hat and mink fur, and it is estimated that no one will pay attention to it.
This group of people stood on the side of the road and waited until Xue Jian and the others left, and then someone whispered.
"Senior brother, why did the people from the Beast Gate suddenly withdraw?"
Standing at the front, a tall and sturdy man raised his hat slightly, revealing half of his weather-beaten face.
His skin was slightly dark, with a slight stubble on his chin, and a thumb-length scar on his right cheek, as if it had been slashed by a sword.
"The eagle old monster was too timid, and he was scared away by the Chu family's son-in-law. ”
Having said that, his tone was very heavy, obviously able to force a great grandmaster with full firepower to escape, and the ability of the young man in white should not be underestimated.
In the middle of the crowd, the shortest man walked out, she tilted her head slightly, below the tip of her nose was exposed, her skin was like congealed fat, and her pink lips were pink, and she knew that it was a woman at a glance.
Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, it was a crisp and pleasant woman's voice, and she was not very old.
"Senior brother, although that Eagle Sky is ranked the lowest among the Five Towns of the Beast Gate, he is also a genuine Void Yuan Realm Grand Master, how could he be scared away by a Returning Yuan Realm martial cultivator?
There was a lot of movement on the sea just now, and we couldn't see the specific situation, senior brother, you must have seen it, right?"
Everyone else came over here, obviously curious about what the battle at sea was all about.
The sturdy man, known as Senior Brother, hesitated for a moment and whispered.
"I did see that the son-in-law of the Chu family used a big black bow, and the two arrows made the eagle old monster have to use all his strength, which stimulated the power of ten percent of the beast's blood. ”
He slowly explained the matter, and saw that the younger brothers and sisters around him were stunned.
Especially the woman, whose cherry pink lips were slightly open, was very cute.
"Alright, let's go into the city, everyone remember, keep a low profile, don't be public. ”
After the strong man finished speaking, this group of strangers with hats and long strips of cloth on their backs walked towards Nanfu City together.
At the same time, on a merchant ship outside the port that had just entered the dock, a young man in brocade clothes and jade belt looked at the direction of Xue Jian's departure with a smile.
With a look of interest in his eyes, he held a fine rosewood folding fan in his right hand and gently tapped it on the palm of his left hand.
"White Sparrow. ”
"The subordinates are here. ”
A young man in white clothes and white boots walked out from behind him, bowed his head and said respectfully.
The young boy smiled slightly and said softly.
"Within half a day, I want all the information about that person. ”
The young man in white clothes and white boots nodded yes, stepped back and left the place.
A moment later, the young boy called again.
"Black Sparrow. ”
"The subordinates are here. ”
Another young man in black clothes and black boots walked out from behind him and bowed his head respectfully.
The young boy waved lightly, and the folding fan in his hand opened, shaking comfortably.
"If you run into that person, what are your chances of winning?"
The black-clothed young man known as the Black Sparrow said without hesitation.
"Ten percent. ”
The young boy turned his head with a smile and looked at the fair and handsome face of the person behind him.
There was no emotion in the eyes of the black finch, no expression on his face, like a living puppet of absolute obedience.
"So confident? He even scared away the eagle sky of the beast gate. ”
The black finch spoke calmly.
"In my hands, he didn't have a chance to take out that bow and arrow. ”
The young man laughed, turned and walked under the boat.
In addition to these masters, there are also many hidden powerhouses on the docks of Nanfu City.
These people are all from various regions and forces, and they have all rushed to Nanfu City in the recent past, and there may be more strong people arriving one after another.
At this moment, Xue Jian had already led everyone back to the Chu family.
Because he had just come back, Chu Donghe was arrested, and the Chu family had no leader, and at this moment, Xue saw that he had to go to the Chu family to preside over the overall situation, so he did not return to the Xue family as soon as possible.
But the matter on the dock soon spread throughout the city, and of course the Xue family also knew about it.
Xue Mingzhi, the head of the Xue family, that is, Xue Jian's father, hurriedly rushed to the Chu family with a group of people.
Now the two families of Xue Chu are like a family, the mansions are only one street apart, and the two families will walk around each other if they have nothing to do, and they are also strong in business, almost Xue does not leave Chu, and Chu does not leave Xue.
After Xue Mingzhi and the others saw Xue Jian, they didn't have time to reminisce about the past, and they were told the bad news that Chu Donghe was arrested.
Everyone was shocked and angry, and their eyes fell on Xue Jian.
Whether it is the Chu family or the Xue family, they can't help but regard Xue Jian as the only backbone.
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring my father-in-law back safely. ”
With this sentence, many people breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Xue Jian's strength, they just saw it.
After that, Xue Jian summoned the people in charge of the two families and gathered in the meeting hall.
He briefly explained the matter and said solemnly.
"In the recent period, there may be big things happening in Nanfu City, and a lot of outsiders have come.
These people are a mixed bag, and there are many masters, and you must tell everyone not to act in a flatant, and to clash with outsiders, otherwise today's tragedy on the dock is likely to happen again. ”
Everyone looked very heavy and nodded yes.
One of them, a middle-aged man in his fifties, scolded angrily with a guilty face.
"It's all Chu Zhe's bastard, see you, don't worry, I will definitely break his leg when I go back, if it weren't for this bastard, how could the third brother be arrested." ”
Xue Jian sighed lightly and said comfortingly.
"Uncle, you don't have to feel guilty, although Chu Zhe is at fault in this matter, I suspect that the group of outsiders deliberately made trouble with the Chu family, so no matter what, the Chu family should have this difficulty. ”
After hearing this, everyone realized that the Chu Xue family seemed to be beautiful, but in fact, in the eyes of the real powerhouse, it was not worth mentioning at all.
After saying this, Xue Jian took out an envelope from his arms, looked at Xue Mingzhi and asked.
"Father, did you ask Li Can to bring me this letter?"
Xue Mingzhi nodded.
Xue Jian hurriedly asked.
"And who gave this letter to my father?"
Xue Mingzhi lowered his head and fell into his memories and spoke slowly.
"I remember it was more than a month ago, that afternoon, I took a few people to the dock to inspect the goods, and on the way back, I ran into a green shirt scribe.
That man has an extraordinary conversation and elegant temperament, and at a glance I know that he is not an ordinary scholar, but definitely a person who has been in a high position for a long time, and listening to him, I even have a feeling that I have to obey him.
Later, he handed me this letter, saying that it must be delivered to you within two months, otherwise the Xue Chu family will be in great trouble. ”
After saying this, Xue Mingzhi couldn't help but rejoice.
Glad that I believed that man's words at that time, otherwise what happened on the dock today would not have been fulfilled, and a catastrophe would have come.
Xue Jian hurriedly asked about the person's figure and physiognomy again.
Xue Mingzhi spoke in detail, without missing a single detail, and after finishing speaking, he asked again.
"See, do you know the messenger?"
Xue Jian nodded and whispered something that made the faces of everyone present change greatly.
"That person is none other than the National Teacher, Li Mi. ”
