Chapter 187: Hush Money

An Xu walked out of the courtyard with curiosity, wondering who would come to the door early in the morning.

The only thing that is certain is that it shouldn't be any enemy, otherwise the other party would have killed him directly, how could he call the door so politely?

I saw that in the open space outside the house, several large carriages were parked, and behind the carriages were dragging cargo boxes, which seemed to be transporting a lot of goods, and a woman who looked to be in her thirties and dressed simply and decently stood quietly in front of the gate.

"Hello, is it Mr. An Xu?" Seeing An Xu's figure, she asked respectfully.

"It's me, you're it?" An Xu was curious, he could guarantee that he had never seen this woman in his memory.

"Mr. An, I am a member of the Pang Family Chamber of Commerce, for what happened yesterday, the head of the family said that he was very sorry, and when he learned that Mr. An needed a batch of ore, he immediately asked me to bring it over, and asked Mr. An to check it!"

It turned out to be someone from the Pang family.

That head of the Pang family is quite good at being a man! In fact, the people of the Pang family will come to the door, which is completely expected by An Xu, and his address is not a secret, and it is easy for anyone who cares to find out.

It's just that the time when the other party came was faster than An Xu expected.

"The head of the Lao Pang family has bothered, thank the head of the Pang family for me, and I will definitely visit in a few days." An Xu didn't show any expression, just responded politely.

He had to accept this cart of ore, otherwise the head of the Pang family would not feel at ease, and if the other party was not at ease, An Xu would not be at ease.

said that it was an apology, but in fact, it was the other party's hush money, the head of the Pang family must have investigated some information, as a family with a head and a face, if it is rumored that there are undead in the family, it will be a heavy blow to the prestige of their family.

As long as An Xu accepts this cart of ore, it means that he will not tell what he encounters, and what the Pang family has lost is only a batch of ore, which is just a drop in the bucket for a commercial family.

With An Xu's permission, the subordinates next to the carriage began to pull the carriage into the courtyard, and under An Xu's guidance, several truckloads of ore were unloaded next to An Xu's cabin.

"So, we're going to take our leave!"

After unloading the goods, the Pang family's convoy left, leaving behind a place of ore and a curious Lin Yicheng.

"I said, "Which one is this singing?" How could the Pang family send you something? Lin Yicheng said curiously, he knew most of the families in Hidden Moon City, and the Pang family was a business family with a large scale, and he couldn't figure out what connection they would have with An Xu even if he wanted to break his head.

"A little misunderstanding, it doesn't matter!"

An Xu didn't elaborate, checked this pile of ore, the purity is very high, in addition to most of the iron ore, copper ore and other ordinary ores, but also mixed with a small amount of rare ore, in this special period, it can be said to be worth a lot!

If it weren't for An Xu's expectations, the Pang family not only took out the ore in the inventory, but also purchased some additional from other places, and the sincerity of the seal was quite sufficient.

Lin Yicheng pouted: "You just talk about it, what kind of misunderstanding, it's worth such a big gift, and besides, you get so much ore, are you really ready to change jobs to become a professional blacksmith?" ”

"Stop the ink, help me move in." Anxu collects most of the ore into storage, leaving a small portion for immediate use.

Anyway, it is no secret that he has a space ring in the team, and others don't know how big An Xu's space ring is, but it is a cover for An Xu's storage space.

Such a huge batch of ores should be enough for him to impact the deputy position to the level of an intermediate forger.

"Damn! Do you have team points for volunteer labor? Lin Yicheng asked?

After this period of time, Lin Yicheng has figured out the model of the mercenary team, and also knows that there is a small warehouse in the team, which stores good things such as fire carrot elixir, and even the items obtained in the future need to be distributed according to points.

It's a pity that he hasn't participated in team activities yet, and he doesn't have any points at all, and he has been thinking about it all this time.

"Love to move, don't move!" An Xu scolded, after Lin Yicheng drank the potion, he had already broken through to the middle of the second star, and he was a little bit short of the high stage of the second star, and it was a breeze to move a few pieces of ore, and he actually bargained with himself.

"Hush, stingy!" Lin Yicheng muttered, but honestly helped An Xu move the ore to the house.

"Okay, I'm going to be busy, you have nothing to practice more, learn from Qingqing, she is much harder than you, I estimate that the war will start again in a few days, don't regret not working hard when it's dangerous." An Xu turned around and admonished.

Lin Yicheng is good at everything, his personality is free and easy, and he is righteous enough, but he is too lazy, now that the school is closed, no one is urging him, and he just cares about wandering around all day long, An Xu is really worried that he will not be able to keep up with everyone's pace.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to practice! Don't look down on people, I'll tell you, since I changed my weapon, I'm improving so fast now! Lin Yicheng was dissatisfied, but still moved his steps and walked out.

He also knew that An Xu was for his good, and now his strength was in the team, and he really couldn't keep up.

An Xu calmed down and began to make every effort to improve his forging proficiency, now his proficiency is not high, and the success rate is frighteningly low, but he can't bear a lot of energy, and he can always succeed several times a day.

An Xu knows that he has no talent in forging, but even if he uses money to smash it, he has to smash his forging level up, which is too important for the team's future prospects, and it can be said that the promotion of the sub-class is currently the highest priority in his heart.

"Ding, dingβ€”" There was a constant sound of banging in the cabin, and everyone had become accustomed to it, and they were about to go about their day.

With the improvement of proficiency, An Xu's understanding of forging is also improving little by little, as he thought, even if he only knows the most basic forging skills at the beginning, he can rely on constantly building into an intermediate forging master.

[Forging completed, successfully forging an inferior one-handed sword, the quality is ordinary, with additional agility attribute +1, strength attribute +1, and 1 proficiency point obtained through forging, and the current proficiency is 4/200. 】

An Xu took a look, this was already the fourth sword he had successfully built, not only was it a little more beautiful in appearance, but also a little more static, but in general, the difference was not very big.

Anyway, forging any equipment now will increase his proficiency, and he doesn't have to deliberately practice forging other equipment, focusing on the same piece of equipment, but his speed will be greatly improved.

Throwing the one-handed sword into the storage space, An Xu picked up a material again, ready to continue forging, and suddenly remembered the conversation between Lin Yicheng and someone in the courtyard.

The man's voice felt as if he had heard it somewhere, and opened the door curiously to take a lookβ€”

Helan Yingjie, why is he here again?

Helan Yingjie was carrying a package, and when he saw An Xu, he came over excitedly: "I'm here to join the team!" ”

An Xuhu said suspiciously: "Did your family agree to you being a mercenary?" ”

"I didn't agree, I had a fight, I was kicked out, and now they can't control me!" Helan Yingjie said nonchalantly.

An Xu had a headache, in the end, his family still didn't agree, Helan Yingjie's identity is really too special, mercenary is a high-risk profession, An Xu is afraid that if he has an accident, the consequences are unimaginable.

It's just that, looking at Helan Yingjie's expectant look, An Xu really couldn't say anything to refuse.

That's it, it's a big deal that there is a high-risk task, just don't take him out, An Xu knows that this person is a practice maniac, and he doesn't care about money, maybe he is happy to stay at home.

"Brother Yingjie, I know why you're here! If you want to join the clan, you can, but you have to make a three-chapter agreement! I have no objection to pursuing Lena, but you must pay attention to proportions and not affect her normal life! An Xu said seriously.

"No problem!" Helan Yingjie agreed.

An Xu rubbed his forehead, and when he found a time, he had to talk to Lena to see what she thought.

Suddenly sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, An Xu turned his head to look, only to see Helan Yingjie looking out of the gate with a stiff face, where I don't know when a large group of heavily armed people and horses were standing.

The leader was dressed in ornate armor, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand and holding his helmet in the other.

Isn't that the commander of the Praetorian Guard? Because he had seen it once from afar in Baiyu City, coupled with the other party's extraordinary bearing, An Xu was very impressed.

Seeing a large group of soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Legion gathered at the gate of the courtyard, An Xu couldn't help but 'chuckle' in his heart, couldn't it be something big?

At this moment, Helan Yingjie said curtly: "Big brother, why are you here?" ”
