Chapter 12: Breaking the Siege (Yesterday's Update)
Scar trembled and looked at the dagger around his neck, carelessly! A carelessness was approached, or was it by a person who had just stepped into the Tongluo realm, if this was spread out, how would he see people after Scar?
However, he is also a powerhouse of the Eight Realms, how can he suffer such a big loss and have no reaction? In a few breaths, he broke free from the short blade. Then he came to Lin Fan's front again, his eyebrows were heavy, and he lowered his head to measure the weak young man in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.
Lin Fan also knew the strength of Scar, and the previous short blade was just a threat, if he wanted to fight at this time, the outcome was unpredictable, and besides, it was not the result he wanted. Seeing that he had been freed, he immediately put away his short blade, and said in a solemn tone: "Didn't you come just for the elixir? After three days, I will deliver all the money you want." But I also beg you not to look for anything about the Elixir Workshop in the past few days!"
Scar heard it well, and the young man in front of him actually had an aura that a battle-hardened person like him feared. It is true that people cannot be seen, and the sea water cannot be measured.
"Can you really deliver the goods in three days?" Scar asked the letter suspiciously, his tone still a little puzzled, as if he didn't understand why the young man in front of him was so confident.
"Of course I can! If I can't hand it over in three days, I will give you thirty percent of the business of this elixir workshop!" Lin Fan said in a pertinent tone, looking at the person who was three points older than himself, without the slightest fear.
"Okay! This is what you said, if the knife master will not see the goods in three days!, don't blame me for not giving you the face of the elixir shop!" Scar said in a disdainful tone, as if he had already concluded that Lin Fan would not be able to hand over the medicinal materials, and Sancheng business was about to be completed.
"You can rest assured! You only need to pick it up in three days. Lin Fan smiled indifferently and smoothed his sleeves with both hands.
When Scar heard this, he laughed to himself, thinking about how you would make a fool of yourself in three days. Seeing that there was nothing to say, he went out with a big grin, and went to the drunken immortal building to live happily alone.
As soon as this scar leaves, Uncle Ping will be in a hurry, this Young Master Lin is the son of the patriarch, if there are three long and two short!
"Young Master, what are you...... Why do you have to promise that scar!" Uncle Ping's tone was anxious, his voice was intermittent, and his body became anxiously confused.
"It's okay, Uncle Ping. I've got a clever plan to make that elixir come out! You can rest assured! Leave this matter to me. Lin Fan saw Uncle Ping's hurried appearance, and said in a resolute tone. I don't know why he is so confident, but on the contrary, it gave Uncle Ping a confidence, maybe, this young master can really solve this matter?
Li Hu on the side has never cultivated, so he doesn't understand how big the gap between Scar and Lin Fan is, but he secretly pays attention to the whole process, maybe one day, he Li Hu will be able to practice?
"Brother Fan, why haven't you come to see me and Uncle Ping for the past two years!Have you forgotten that I went up the mountain to collect medicine for you at that time!" Li Hu pouted and said in a childlike voice, with a faint trace of long-lost concern in his words.
Lin Fan thought about it, he had been almost busy cultivating in the past few years, and many things had been gradually diluted. Looking at the slightly chubby child, there was a glimmer in his eyes, and his long-sharpened hand touched the child's head early, and said in a tactful tone: "How can I forget?
"Let's go to the wing room first, this is not the place to talk right now. Lin Fan then said lightly with Uncle Ping.
The various forces in Pingzhou City are intricate, and the Lin family's elixir workshop can stand in Pingzhou for more than ten years, which shows its strength, but the recent events are really bizarre. Ten days ago, the scar man suddenly came to the door and directly ordered an elixir worth five million Zhou coins. Although the elixir level is not very high, the quantity is indeed not small, and Pingzhou City does not have so much inventory.
Fortunately, Uncle Ping has been in business for more than ten years, and there are still supply and marketing partners in other places. After some linkage, these elixirs were gathered in Beichuan, Jingshan and other cities. Unfortunately, however, the caravan carrying medicinal herbs was sacked on the first day of its return, as if it had heard some wind in advance.
You must know that in the caravan, there are escorts by strong people in the Quenching Bone Realm, and they can kill people and sell goods in the hands of strong people who quench bones. And this scar came to the door the next day to ask for the goods, how can people not let people connect the two?
Elixir Workshop, Rear Wing Room.
"So, does Uncle Ping suspect that the Sword Alliance guards are stealing?" Lin Fan had already listened to Uncle Ping tell the whole process of the matter, and then said lightly.
"It's such an idea! But there is no evidence, after all, it's empty talk!" Uncle Ping sighed, as if expressing helplessness.
"That'll be easy! I'll take care of the rest. Lin Fan smiled indifferently, as if he had thought of something.
A long-lost meeting is always inevitable for parents to have a short and long talk. After dealing with the scar again, Lin Fan also talked to Li Hu, and Li Hu was more realistic. What do you say, in the past few years in the elixir workshop, I have learned almost everything about the elixir. At this point, Uncle Ping is also proud, thinking that when he gets old, someone will take over this elixir workshop.
In the chat with Li Hu, Lin Fan was also immersed in it, after all, he hadn't been in such a situation for a long time. Li Hu said that when he was collecting medicine in the Great Wilderness Mountain half a year ago, he encountered a very unique tombstone, why did he say that? Because there is only a tombstone, there is no tomb. Moreover, the tombstone loomed, and by the time Li Hu called the seniors of the Elixir Workshop to go, the tombstone had long since disappeared. In this regard, Li Hu's predecessors thought they were tricking them, but they ignored him for a long time.
The region of the Great Zhou is like this, maybe there are the relics of ancient and modern sages, so Lin Fan believed what Li Hu said, and at the same time said that he would go there to investigate in the future, which made Li Hu feel very relieved, and finally someone believed him.
However, the conversation with Li Hu did not last long, and Li Hu and Uncle Ping returned to the front of the store, after all, the business of the elixir workshop still needs to be taken care of.
Lin Fan said that he had his own clever plan, but in fact, it was just a temporary delaying plan. How to get so many medicinal herbs is also a real headache. Although most of the medicinal materials were previously available in Fu Shan's acceptance rings, taking them out at this time would inevitably make people associate the two together.
"It seems that I have to go to the Sword Alliance to find out what is going on these days!" Lin Fan thought to himself, and after a few thoughts, an unknown thought emerged.
As the sun set, it was already evening.
When the sun sets and the silver-grey twilight dew envelops the streets and alleys of Ping Chau, you will find puffs of cooking smoke rising from the rooftops, which is the people of Ping Chau preparing a sumptuous dinner. Walking through it, the light in front of the door of the neighborhood is as bright as morning, and the candlelight keeps flickering in a row of cities, like a soaring dragon.
The Sword Alliance, which belongs to the three major families in Pingzhou and above the five major gangs, is one of the few medium forces in Pingzhou. Inside, there is a strict hierarchy and clear promotion conditions, and the previous Scar is only the second leader of the Sword Alliance. Above him, there is also a big brother who is at the peak of the Nine Realms of Quenching Bones.
It is the absolute strength of the two that has made the Sword Alliance what it is today. However, recently, for some reason, the Sword Alliance and the Lei family of Pingzhou have come very close, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they complement each other.
"Big brother, you think that kid can really get all the goods we want?" Scar was drunk and opened his mouth with a big grin.
"Forgive him for being an immortal, he can't make it up in three days! Almost all of the four northern cities are in our hands!" the middle-aged man said resolutely.
"If it weren't for that adult... It doesn't take so much trouble to arrange. What if you and my brother robbed him directly?" Scar then exclaimed, as if he was a little dissatisfied.
Seeing that the second brother was so reckless, the man in front of him couldn't help but shake his head slightly and sighed: "Pingzhou's power, how is it so simple? The intertwined roots behind this are far beyond your imagination, even if we have the support of the Lei family at this time, we can only be ants on the hot pot, messing with ourselves." Otherwise, how could his Lin family stand in Pingzhou for more than ten years without falling?"
When Scar heard this, he laughed, scratched his head with his right hand, and said with a drunken smile: "The lesson of the eldest brother is that this is called only outwitting... What's going on?"
"You can only outwit it, not defeat it!"
The middle-aged man sighed slightly, if he had a little brain, he wouldn't look like this.
......
Elixir Workshop, Rear Wing Room.
In the wing, there seemed to be an extra stranger. He is not very tall, his sideburns are slightly protruding, his eyebrows are thick and neat, and he is dressed in black. This stranger was Lin Fan, and he was about to infiltrate the Sword Alliance in disguise to find out one or two.
"This Fu Shan Lao'er's disguise mask is really easy to use, so he is not afraid of being recognized. Lin Fan muttered to himself in front of the mirror.
This time I went to the Sword League, and it was very dangerous. If you don't disguise yourself, you will inevitably get into trouble. Fortunately, there is a hidden movement trick in the body, if there is really any danger, with this body method, it is not a problem to escape from the sword alliance. Lin Fan thought to himself in his heart, his figure also flickered with the night, disappeared into the night, and ran towards the sword alliance.
At this time, in the Sword Alliance, Scar and his eldest brother were already in a deep sleep. The sentinels outside the Sword Alliance also became lazy and began to nap. In their opinion, this is the Sword Alliance, who dares to have the courage to break into the Sword Alliance at night?
Lin Fan, who was incarnated as a man in black, was already heavily guarded for the Sword Alliance, but looking at the few sentinels not far away, he couldn't help but sneer a few times in his heart, no wonder the Sword Alliance could not be among the first-class forces in Pingzhou.
Whoosh!
Ignoring those sentinels, Lin Fan had already entered the Sword Alliance with a leap of shape.
"It's really big here!It looks like it's going to take a lot of work!" Lin Fan said to himself as he stood on the eaves of a house and looked at the many buildings of the Sword Alliance.
Whoop...
Lin Fan's divine consciousness unfolded, accompanied by this mountain wind, and looked at them one by one. Although the first level of Mingxin has not yet reached its full completion, the dozens of spaces in front of him are difficult for Lin Fan. The holy art of the Apocalypse is a bit overkill here.
"Who dares to trespass on my sword alliance!" An angry roar came from below, breaking the silence of the night.
