Volume 2, Swallowing Mountains and Rivers Chapter 181 Heard
Tie Kee Shop is not an iron-making shop, but a relatively large shop in the city. It sells all kinds of demon animal skins and beast cores, and the price is fair, and it is quite famous around.
At this time, two figures stood outside the tall shop. One of them, fat and full of big faces, is the shopkeeper Liu Fu.
This iron shop is nothing else, it is the property of Liu Fu. Because Liu Fu's qualifications were mediocre and he didn't make much progress in cultivation, he was sent by the clan elders to manage Pengcheng's shop. Ten years after he came here, he kept the original small shop in order, and the scale has expanded several times.
Now it is one of the best shops in the entire Pengcheng, and if you talk about the credit, he is a clansman who has made extraordinary contributions in the Liu Mansion. Although he was born in a side lineage, because Pengcheng was remote and not involved, the failure of Liu Batian and others to rebel did not affect him at all.
"Shopkeeper, is it really our family to come?"
The person next to him was thin and tall, and he was a shrewd and capable man. He was Liu Fu's servant, called Liu Nineteen. Now that his cultivation has reached the late stage of the second realm, he is Liu Fu's personal guard. In addition, he is also in charge of a guard of more than 50 people, responsible for the security of the entire store. There are many outlaws in Pengcheng, and the security situation is not as good as imagined.
Therefore, all the major shops have their own guards, because they know the stakes well, so the City Lord's Mansion has always let it go.
"There can be a fake in the letter. ”
"I heard that our head of the family is terrible, not only became the head of the family before the age of the weak crown, but was also rewarded by the empire as Qingyang Hou. ”
"What?
"Oh my God! The city lord of Pengcheng is powerful, and he has an army of thousands of people, and he doesn't have a title, and our family master is already a marquis at the age of sixteen!"
Liu Shijiu was dumbfounded, if it was said by outsiders, he would definitely not believe it. But Liu Fu has a steady personality, and there is no mistake in doing things, and he has never said any lies. Because of this, he was even more shocked.
Because Pengcheng is far away from the imperial city, the news is closed. It also needs to be the Imperial City's side to take the initiative to transmit the message, otherwise it will be difficult for them to be the first to find out here.
"According to the appointed time, it should be today. Why haven't you seen any trace yet?" Liu Fu was a little anxious, the two of them stood under the sun for two hours, but they didn't see any movement.
"Could there be some accident on the way?" Do you want me to let the brothers go out of the city and inquire? ”
"No, I can't. The clan said that the head of the family was secretive this time, and he was on a journey with the descendants of several other big families, and their identities must not be exposed. ”
Shaking his head, Liu Fu rejected the offer. If the subordinates of Tieji Shop go out of the city to investigate without authorization, it may be easy for people to know, after all, the scope of their daily activities is that the store is around, and if they leave their original posts rashly, it is easy for people to see the flaws.
As for why Liu Yang appeared in Pengcheng, Liu Fu did not know anything from the letter. I only know that the clan sent a message to him to cooperate with all the actions of the head of the family in Pengcheng.
His brow furrowed a little, and he cooperated with all actions. The scope of this "everything" is too huge, and there are not many people in Tieji Shop now, if any huge changes happen, he is worried that he will not be able to protect the safety of Liu Yang and others.
"Roar. ”
Suddenly, there was a hissing of a strange beast in the distance. The two of them followed the sound and looked at each other, and their faces suddenly showed joy.
The huge caravan came slowly, and soon appeared in front of the two of them.
"Dare to ask you, are you the caravan from Annan City?" cleared his throat, Liu Fu stepped forward and asked.
"If you're not mistaken, you're the shopkeeper of Tieji Shop, right?"
"Exactly. ”
The middle-aged literati in the lead smiled and waved behind him. Two guards opened the door of the carriage, and four figures walked out of it. They are two men and two women, both of whom look very young, the young man is handsome and chic, and the woman is even more embarrassed to fall into the wild goose.
Liu Fu recovered from his distraction, he took two steps forward, and said respectfully: "Liu Fu, the shopkeeper of Tieji Shop, respectfully welcomes you to come, I don't know which one is the head of my Liu Mansion." ”
"You are Liu Fu?"
A calm and calm voice sounded, and a teenager stepped forward. He was wearing a cyan robe, dressed like an ordinary person, but his eyes were as deep as an abyss, like a black hole.
Seeing this person, Liu Fu trembled slightly, and guessed that he was Liu Yang, the new head of the Liu Mansion. In an instant, he bent down to pay homage and said loudly: "Tieji shop Liu Fu, participate in the head of the family." ”
"No need to be polite. ”
When the words fell, Liu Fu was held up by energy. His face changed slightly, and he didn't see any movement from Liu Yang, obviously the other party's realm cultivation had reached a very advanced level.
He secretly looked at Liu Yang and was younger than he imagined. is now sixteen years old, but he is 1.8 meters tall, his waist is firm and straight, and his whole temperament is very outstanding. It's the kind that stands in the crowd and can be recognized at a glance.
"The head of the family, and the young masters. I've already arranged your quarters, and if nothing else, how about I lead you there?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that everyone in the caravan was in the dust, and Liu Yang and the others were even more tired. Liu Fu planned to lead them to rest first, and he was able to keep the Tieji shop in good order, and his observation was even more outstanding.
"It seems that your Liu Mansion is still thoughtful. patted Liu Yang on the shoulder, and Sun Jiu grinned. Although the carriage was comfortable, I felt suffocated for days in it. Along the way, if it weren't for the fact that she could still tease Liu Yang and Feng Dao, she felt that life was worse than death.
"Wait a minute. ”
At this time, Li Qianqian stepped forward and said softly: "This shopkeeper, you first let people arrange them thoughtfully, we have something we want to ask you." ”
"Qianqian, you are really, why don't you ask later. Sun Jiu showed a bitter gourd face, she was very tired now, so she wanted to find a big bed to lie down on.
"Miss Li is right, let's get down to business first. Echoing, Liu Yang whispered to Liu Fu: "Liu Fu, you let people lead others to rest, we have something to discuss with you." ”
Although they have just arrived in Pengcheng, the movements of the Zhao family and the imperial family are unknown. Time is the most important thing for them, and if they can discover the entrance to the immeasurable secret realm early, they will be able to seize the opportunity first.
"Nineteen, you take the others to rest. I accompanied the head of the family to discuss important matters with several young ladies and sons. ”
"Yes. ”
The lean man clenched his fists and led the rest of the caravan out of here.
In the hall, the aroma of hot tea is refreshing, and a variety of pastries are placed on the table.
"It's delicious!"
"It's hard to get a hot meal in a deserted place all the way. What kind of pastries are these? ”
Sun Jiu was feasting, she asked as she munched on her pastry.
"These are all snacks from our Pengcheng, because I knew that the head of the family and the young lady were coming, so I prepared some in advance. Liu Fu smiled slightly and continued: "There will be some local spirit fruits later, and I will serve them to the young ladies as soon as they are cleaned." ”
"I'm tired. ”
Sun Jiu grinned, because he wanted to hide his identity. Like ordinary caravans, they had been eating hard and unpalatable dry food for days on end, and now they found it delicious no matter what snacks they ate.
"Just eat as soon as you patronize. Li Qianqian couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Isn't he also patronizing and eating!"
Sun Jiu was embarrassed and pointed to Feng Dao next to him, who had no scruples about his image. Feng Dao was born in the Feng family, he didn't have many etiquette scruples since he was a child, and he was suffocated by the delicacies of the mountains and seas of the Imperial City for a long time, and now this colorful snack naturally can't be let go. So open my belly and look like I'm going to eat it all.
"Isn't Liu Yang too!" Glancing at it, Feng Dao glared at Liu Yang next to him.
"Hey...... You are the head of the Liu family, pay attention to your appearance. ”
Liu Yang swallowed a piece of pastry with difficulty, relieved himself and smiled embarrassedly.
Next to him, Liu Fu didn't feel anything. There are huge flying beasts inside and outside Pengcheng, but the inspection is very strict. Liu Yang, the sons and ladies of the big family, can come non-stop for several days, and they can also endure hardships along the way, in his opinion, they are much better than some delicate young masters and young ladies. This is the descendant of the real big family power, if you deliberately estimate too much image, it is just a superficial work.
Half an hour later, the four of them finished eating and drinking.
"I don't know what the head of the family and the young lady have to say?" Liu Fu didn't dare to ask easily, so he could only speak like this. He already knew just now that in addition to his own family head, the others were all young demonic figures from the Li family, the Sun family, and the Feng family.
Not to mention the head of his own family, even these young demons are big shots wherever they go. Together, you can imagine what a huge plan they must have.
Liu Fu's forehead unconsciously oozed fine sweat, and his face tried his best to maintain calm and composure.
"Brother Liu, come and ask. Li Qianqian smiled and motioned for Liu Yang to speak. After all, Tieji Shop is an industry owned by Liu Fu, and if you are too active, you will be a bit noisy.
Nodding, Liu Yang asked in a deep voice, "Anything you hear next, I want you to keep it strictly confidential." Otherwise, don't blame us for the ruthlessness of the Liu family. ”
"The head of the house is relieved. ”
Liu Fu was shocked, looking at Liu Yang's solemn expression, he knew that the stakes must be significant.
"Several of us have joined forces to come here for the Immeasurable Secret Realm. I heard that the space node of the immeasurable secret realm near the 100,000 Great Mountains appeared, I wonder if you know about it?"
"Immeasurable Secret Realm?"
After swallowing his saliva, Liu Fu still felt a little dry. After a moment, he came back to his senses before he said, "Pengcheng has been established for hundreds of years, and there have never been rumors of an immeasurable secret realm before. But a few years ago, there was a powerful Orion in the city who went hundreds of miles deep into the fringe area, and when he came back from a serious injury, he lost his mind and often muttered a few words about the immeasurable secret realm. ”
After a pause, Liu Fu continued: "Back then, it would attract the attention of many big forces around me, and even the Sun and Moon Temple, which was thousands of miles away, sent a terrifying powerhouse to Pengcheng, and then they retreated separately after investigating fruitlessly. ”
"Hasn't anyone found it?"
"No, since the incident back then, news about the Immeasurable Secret Realm has appeared from time to time, but in the end, it was just a few rumors. There is no news about it this year, is there any other news about the head of the family and the young lady of the child?"
Hearing his words, Liu Yang and the other four looked at each other and felt a little inexplicable.
"This shopkeeper, since there is no clue to the immeasurable secret realm nearby. So has there been anything unusual on the edge of the 100,000 Mountains recently?"
"Something out of the ordinary?"
After thinking for a moment, Liu Fu shook his head slightly. He had lived in the city for a long time, and had inquired about all the news of it, but he had never heard of any strange movements recently.
"Huh?"
"Didn't the eyeliners we arranged say that they found some anomalous locations?"
Sun Jiu frowned and asked.
"Geographically, it is far away from Pengcheng. It's normal that I didn't get the news here. ”
"However, there are many hunters in Pengcheng. Under normal circumstances, someone may have been to some unusual location. ”
Li Qianqian also groaned.
"Wait. ”
Suddenly, Liu Fu screamed softly. He patted his head and said apologetically to Liu Yang: "Family master, I forgot one thing just now, maybe it has something to do with the immeasurable secret realm you found. ”
"What's the matter?"
Liu Yang's eyes lit up slightly, looking forward to what he was about to say.
"Last month, there were several outlaws in the city who went deep into the fringe area, and I heard that they found a place where a lot of monsters had gathered, and it was very likely that a beast tide would break out after a while. ”
"Beast tide?"
Hearing this, the four of them were full of doubts.
"You don't know, head of the house. Pengcheng has a special location, close to the edge of the 100,000 Mountains. Our human race has Orions and sometimes breaks in to hunt demon beasts, but they generally hover on the edge of hundreds of miles. It is rumored that there is a terrifying and boundless demon beast leader lurking inside, and every few years there is a leader who directs the demon beast to break out of the beast tide, or because of some influence, the demon beast gathers and breaks out the beast tide in advance. ”
"The last time a beast tide broke out in Pengcheng was three years ago, and it will take another year or two according to normal reasoning. But now, an early outbreak is possible. ”
