Chapter 21 Tasks
As Mel leaves the business district, he meets an acquaintance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He had wanted to go straight home, but before he had taken a few steps, he heard a slightly familiar voice calling out to him.
"Wait a minute! Hey-wait a minute!! ”
When Mel looked back, he saw a young man in brocade running towards him panting.
Uh, isn't this the rich young master who wanted to be a bounty hunter before?
It's a coincidence that I met him again so soon.
"Wait...... One time! ”
The young man ran as if he had not seen that Mair had stopped. Seeing this, Maier could only reluctantly walk over to him, so as not to tire the pampered young master out of trouble.
"Why are you again?"
Mel held the young man by the arm, so that he would not fall to his knees because of the weakness of his legs.
"Is there something wrong with me?"
The dry-mouthed young man swallowed a small strand of saliva and nodded vigorously. Mel gave him a rest, waiting for his face to ease before continuing to ask.
"What's the matter?"
"Something very important."
The young man straightened his shirt and said with a straight face.
"I forgot to introduce myself yesterday. My name is He Yan Zhiheng, I am a businessman, thank you very much for saving my life! ”
After returning home yesterday, He Yan Zhiheng told his father and Yan Ruizhi about his experience, and said fearfully: "Fortunately, I was lucky, I didn't go into the woods, but there were eleven people on the other side, and I couldn't beat it." ”
Then He Yan Ruizhi slapped his son's head hard, and taught him in a tone of hatred: "You bastard!" There is still the face to say such things! You still haven't figured out what's going on! If it weren't for this young man, you would have been calculated to death a long time ago! ”
After listening to his father's words, he pondered that this was really the case, and only then did he realize that he was grateful. Early the next morning, He Yan Ruizhi asked He Yan Zhiheng to be dragged out of the bed, and let his unfortunate second son go outside to find Maier.
"Also, my father wants to see you, as if he has something important to ask you for help."
The Kazuyan family recently talked to Rimi Shrine about a business.,It's about fabric.。 Riya Shrine bought a lot of linen from the Wagen family, all of which were white, saying that they were going to make a new shrine maiden costume in a hurry. He Yan Ruizhi plans to hand over the task of escorting the caravan to Maier, this task is very simple, and He Yan Ruizhi intends to set the commission higher and repay the favor in this way.
Of course, He Yan Ruizhi didn't think that even if the favor was paid off at this level, otherwise his son's life would be too cheap. He Yan Ruizhi also wants to meet this young man and see what he needs, if so, He Yan Ruizhi will try his best to meet him.
As soon as Mel heard the young man's surname, he knew that he was from the House of Gentlemen. After hearing about the deeds of the Heyan family, Meier was very interested in the Heyan family, so he followed Heyan Zhiheng without saying a word.
Maier followed Heyan Zhiheng to the Heyan family's mansion, which was a simple and unpretentious mansion that surprised Maier a little. If it weren't for the three big characters "Heyan Family" written on the plaque at the main entrance, Maier would have thought that he had come from the home of a squire.
Although the decoration of this house is simple, the area is not small. Maier followed and Yan Zhiheng around and walked for a while before arriving at the meeting room.
On the chairman of the meeting room sat a middle-aged man, wearing a brocade robe similar to Yan Zhiheng's. Maier thought that this should be Yan Zhiheng's father, and after entering the door, he saluted him first, and then sat down with Yan Zhiheng on the guest seat.
"This is my father. Uh......"
After sitting down, He Yan Zhiheng introduced Maier. He wanted to introduce his father to Myer, only to realize that he hadn't asked for Myer's name.
"My name is Mel? Byron is a trader and a bounty hunter. ”
Maier introduced himself. He Yan Ruizhi raised his eyebrows when he heard the surname "Byrons", but he didn't show anything. He smiled kindly at Maier and said.
"The contemptible name is keen, and he is the current head of the Heyan family. This invitation to visit the Humble House is to thank you for saving your life. ”
It's actually kind to Yankezhi!
Maier's eyes widened in surprise and he turned his head to look at He Yan Zhiheng.
I heard that He Yan Ruizhi is very smart, how could he give birth to such a scheming son?
"Dogs are stubborn by nature and do not obey discipline, which has always been my heart disease."
He Yan Ruizhi explained with a wry smile as if he had seen through Maier's thoughts.
"A few days ago, he secretly bought equipment, I was afraid that he would do something stupid, so I kept asking people to watch him, but yesterday I still let him run away. If it weren't for the benefactor to save him, the dog would have died at the hands of the wicked, and the corpse would be in the wilderness. ”
"The matter of saving Linglang is just an accident, and you don't have to take this matter to heart."
Because of his vague conversation, Maier was also abducted by him and began to speak in this way that made him feel very awkward.
"How's that going to work? Knowing that the picture is the foundation of people, if you can't do this, the Yan family and I are not worthy of staying in Liangyue City. He Yan Ruizhi smiled, "As the old saying goes, it is better to give cakes in the snow than to give charcoal in the snow, and the kindness cannot be repaid in accordance with the will of the Heyan family, so as not to do bad things with good intentions." If you are useful in the future, even if you speak, you will know that you will definitely go to the soup and fire, and you will not hesitate. ”
"Uh...... You're serious. ”
Maier was so embarrassed by what he knew that he didn't know what to say for a while. He Yan Ruizhi saw Maier's appearance, smiled slightly, and said.
"Having said that, I'm ashamed to say that the Heyan family has a problem now that needs your help to solve."
"Speak, please."
Kazuyan Ruizhi told Maier about the Satomi Shrine's purchase of linen from Kazuyan's family, saying that he was now short of manpower and needed someone to escort the caravan carrying goods to Riya Shrine.
"There are some guards at the shrine, but the trade route is treacherous, and that manpower is definitely not enough. I heard from Inuko, you seem to be a strong magician, I wonder if you are interested in this job? ”
He Yan Rui knew that the call just now left a very good impression on Maier, so he was very happy to help the He Yan family with this. However, he only has four people now, and three of them are not considered combat power, even if he is a Ryding magician, as long as he does not walk while casting magic skills, he looks like an ordinary person, and has no deterrent effect on outlaws.
"You can rest assured, I'll try to send guards to this caravan, as long as you're willing to take the job."
Speaking of this, He Yan Ruizhi changed his words, took out a money bag from his arms, and asked He Yan Zhiheng to hand it to Meier.
"This is a deposit, and after the deed is completed, there will be heavy thanks."
Maier took the heavy money bag, grabbed it with his fingers, and touched the large money with a round hole. A big coin is worth 20 Wen Tairong coins, and this money bag contains a hundred such big coins, to say the least.
Just a deposit to give two?
Maier frowned slightly, not daring to take this business lightly.
If what He Yan Rui knows is true, then this single mission is no different from an ordinary escort mission. According to the current market, such a task generally requires more than a dozen people to take it together, and the entire team of the protector can get up to 3 Tairong money, and each person can get two or three hundred Wen when it is divided equally.
Now Maier alone has taken two taeyong money just for the deposit, which is too abnormal.
He Yan Ruizhi saw that Maier was hesitating with the money bag, and nodded appreciatively. It's rare for a young person to be able to think before he does what Mehr does.
"You can rest assured, what the Heyan family is doing is a serious business." He Yan Ruizhi said with a smile, "The dog will also accompany the caravan, please take care of it when the time comes." ”
"Huh? Am I going too? ”
He Yan Zhiheng was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes widened. He Yan Ruizhi ignored him, and just looked at Maier with a smile.
If that's the case, then it's more reasonable.
Mel nodded thoughtfully.
If He Yan Zhiheng also went to the Rimi Shrine with the caravan, He Yan Ruizhi would not come to protect the caravan, but to protect his son. Mel didn't know how many sons he had with Yan Rui, but the children were the hearts and minds of their parents, and they couldn't hurt the slightest. For a person like Yan Rui, who is not bad at money, it is very cost-effective to spend a few times to keep his son safe.
"Okay, I'll take this task." Maier took the money bag into his arms, "When will the caravan depart?" ”
"Early the day after tomorrow." He Yan Ruizhi replied, "I will have the caravan waiting for you outside the east gate, please be on time." ”
"Definitely."
Maier got up and saluted to Kawako, and was about to leave. At this time, He Yan Ruizhi said again.
"I heard that the dyed pottery of Rimi Shrine has been popular recently, but I don't know if there are any sold in Liangyue City."
Maier looked at Kazuya in surprise, but the latter looked at him with a smile as if he hadn't said anything. He Yan Zhiheng also heard his father's words and asked suspiciously.
"Father, didn't the eldest brother buy a lot of this dyed pottery from the Lu family?"
He Yan Ruizhi didn't answer, just smiled and looked at Maier. Only then did Maier realize that he was reminding himself that he could drop by and sell some dyed pottery at the Satomi Shrine to make an extra profit.
He glanced at He Yan Ruizhi gratefully, saluted him again, and then turned to leave.
This kid is good in nature, but his Taoism is a little shallow.
He Yan Ruizhi looked at the back of Maier leaving, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.
But at his age, it's remarkable to be able to do what he is now.
Worthy of Gray? The son of Byron is indeed a tiger father without a dog!
Teng Yan thought that he had done a very good job of secrecy, but there was no impermeable wall in this world, and the rest of the Xiaohu family, whether it was the Heyan family, had their own intelligence channels, and they had already known about it. It's just that they haven't seen anyone in Myr, and they don't know where Mel lives, so they don't know where to start.
Compared with......
He Yan Ruizhi frowned, looked at He Yan Zhiheng with a confused face, and couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he also has a shrewd and capable eldest son, and a smart and well-behaved daughter, and there is no shortage of talented children in the family, so these two stupid people will not affect the future of the Heyan family.
Maier did not go home immediately after leaving the Heyan family, but returned to the business district to inquire about the dyed pottery of the Lu family. There are no rumors in the market about the popularity of dyed pottery at Rimi Shrine, so the price of dyed pottery has not increased.
He felt that He Yan Ruizhi would not lie to himself, so he decisively bought a batch of goods at the Lu family and made an appointment to pick them up tomorrow. After this, he hurried home and told the maids about the merchant mission.
