Next time!

Xia Yan wrote a letter and hung it around the neck of the earth dog with a rope.

Although there are also messengers in the city, with their speed, I am afraid that it will take at least ten days to deliver this letter to Yushui City. Once you go back and forth, I am afraid that it will be delayed for nearly a month.

Therefore, Xia Yan finally decided to ask Tugou to send the letter back, and then take Xiaoqing to Purple Leaf City.

An ordinary carriage can travel from Yushui City to Purple Leaf City in four days, and at the speed of the earth dog's transformation, it can be reached in one morning!

"Remember, don't lose the letter, after you get to the Xia family, give this letter to the patriarch Xia Feilong. After the patriarch saw it, he would arrange for someone to send Xiaoqing over. You also follow Xiaoqing and be responsible for protecting her along the way!" Xia Yan told the earth dog again.

The earth dog nodded its head, its spiritual surname was extremely high, and its intelligence was no worse than that of normal people, so it naturally understood what Xia Yan meant.

"Okay, you go!" Xia Yan waved his hand.

"Whoosh~"

In the light of the early morning, the earth dog turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the distant street.

And Xia Yan stood in the courtyard, drew his long sword, and stood still.

Heaven, earth, man!

Gradually, Xia Yan's breath became more and more slight and weak. In the end, it disappeared completely.

At this time, if someone enters the courtyard, I am afraid that they will not see Xia Yan at the first time. At this time, Xia Yan seemed to be completely integrated between heaven and earth, and became a part of nature like the air, trees, and rivers between heaven and earth.

If it was in the Forest of Sin, if Xia Yan could maintain such a state of mind, then ordinary beasts would not find Xia Yan's existence even if they were next to Xia Yan.

It's a wonderful realm.

Xia Yan, who was standing still, was actually constantly showing his sword skills. In his mind, in his heart, Xia Yan's sword skills were dancing rapidly, and outsiders couldn't see it, but Xia Yan knew it.

"The sword in the heart can be faster. After Xia Yan performed a set of sword skills, he also stopped practicing in his mind, "When you use sword skills in reality, you will be affected by a lot, such as air. There is resistance in the air, and the faster the sword skill is cast, the greater the resistance. And practicing in the mind and in the heart is the greatest display of sword skills!"

Shaking his head, Xia Yan sighed slightly, "It's a pity, if you can overcome the resistance of various factors in reality, then the power of your sword skills will increase a lot." speed, will be faster. Before the enemy can react, kill the enemy with a sword!"

................................................, "Excuse me, is there a mission to complete the location in Purple Leaf City?"

On the afternoon of the third day, Xia Yan appeared in the mercenary hall with a blue first-class medal on his chest.

Standing in front of the counter, Xia Yan looked at a staff member inside and asked. The other party is a woman in her twenties, with a middle-class posture, small and exquisite.

The staff member raised his eyes and looked at Xia Yan, picked up a booklet in his hand, opened it and said to Xia Yan politely: "Complete the tasks in Purple Leaf City, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-seven today, of which there are twenty-two first-level tasks, please take a look!"

When the staff saw the booklet put in front of Xia Yan, there was a smile on the corner of their mouth.

Xia Yan's eyes swept away, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

The tasks at this level are really so simple that they can't be simpler, and they are basically tasks to find objects or people. The completion locations are indeed all in Purple Leaf City, and most of them have time limits.

Twenty-two tasks, all on one page. From top to bottom, Xia Yan didn't see any tasks that might be about that young lady.

"I want to know, if someone in Purple Leaf City recently released a mission about forced marriage!" Xia Yan asked with a wry smile, and then hurriedly added, "It's related to the Song family in Purple Leaf City, it's that Song Yuxin." ”

That day in Tianxing Pavilion, Xia Yan didn't hear clearly, and he didn't know what the maid and the young lady were talking about. Just a little bit of knowing, they mentioned a person named Song Yuxin.

Hearing Xia Yan's words, the staff member's face changed, and his eyes looked at Xia Yan in astonishment.

"Yes...... This task!" It took a long time for the staff member to speak slowly.

Then, she took another of the several booklets placed in front of her, the sixth-level mission marked on the cover!

"Su Lisan posted a mission about his daughter three days ago. Song Yuxin, the young master of the Song family, proposed to Miss Su and was refused, so he forcibly had a competition agreement with the Su family!" The staff looked at the roster, "This task does not limit the number of people, but so far, no mercenary has been willing to accept this task!"

"Why?" Xia Yan looked surprised.

Sixth-level mission, there are so many mercenaries in Purple Leaf City, why no one accepts this task?

"Because, this task is related to the Song family in Purple Leaf City. The staff member's eyes flashed and he looked at Xia Yan.

"Sir, you're just a first-class mercenary, so it's better not to take on this task. ”

"Oh......" Xia Yan smiled, he understood when he heard what the staff member said, shook his head and said, "Then what is the standard for completing this task?"

"This needs to be confirmed by Mr. Su Li himself, I think, if he can win in tomorrow's competition, he should complete the task. This sixth-level task has very rich rewards, but it is likely to offend the Song family. Offend the Song family in Purple Leaf City......" The staff member said in a deep voice, and did not continue.

Xia Yan nodded and said, "Then I'll take this task!" By the way, if you can't complete it, will there be any punishment?"

"Sir is now a first-class mercenary, and there will be no demotion punishment. However, it will have a certain impact on your task completion rate!" the staff sighed secretly, she was also kind, hoping that Xia Yan would not take the risk of taking this task. However, the adventurer has the right to accept any task, and she cannot refuse, so she can only say a few more words in words.

The final choice is still in the hands of the adventurers themselves.

The task completion rate means that if a person takes the risk of accepting 100 tasks, if he completes 90 of them, then the task completion rate is 90 percent!

"Well, then I'll take on this task!" Xia Yan nodded slightly.

After some registration, Xia Yan got a sign about this task.

For each mission, there will be a mission card. When you accept a quest, you get this quest card, and when you complete it, return it to the mercenary hall.

Seeing Xia Yan turn around and leave, the staff member shook his head slightly, with a look of pity in his eyes.

In her opinion, maybe after Xia Yan accepts this task, he will never come back.

"At the age of just over ten years, so young and so good-looking, why do you want to take on such an incompleteable task? So many mercenaries dare not take on this task......

As for what this staff member thought, Xia Yan naturally didn't know.

After accepting the task, Xia Yan did not go back to his courtyard, but went directly to the Su family.

There is the address of the Su family on the mission, which is not very far from the mercenary hall. The Su family is a businessman. Su Li used to be a commoner, but later he was in business and ran a silk business, and he slowly became richer and richer.

In Purple Leaf City and several surrounding county towns, there are Su family shops. Su Li has only one daughter, named Su Qin.

"This is it!"

Xia Yan arrived outside the Su family's mansion, and his figure stopped.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, there were two guards guarding the door. Wealthy families like this will hire guards to protect the home.

Xia Yan straightened his clothes and walked slowly towards the main entrance.

"Please stop, this is the Su family's private residence!" a guard stopped Xia Yan, looked him up and down, and then said politely.

"But Boss Su's home?" Xia Yan stopped and asked with a smile.

"Exactly, who are you?" the guard's eyes flashed and he said to Xia Yan.

"I'm a mercenary, and I've taken the task issued by Boss Su!" Xia Yan said, pointing to the blue medal on his chest.

"You took the task?" the guard was overjoyed, and then said respectfully: "Please sir wait a while, I'll go and inform the master!"

Three days passed, and none of the mercenaries took on the task. This made the Su family very uneasy.

In this mission, the Su family also offered a huge reward, but there were still no mercenaries willing to take on this task. Tomorrow is the time of the competition. If the Su family can't win the competition, then Miss Su Qin must marry Song Yuxin of the Song family!

"Okay!" Xia Yan nodded and smiled.

The guard quickly entered the courtyard.

The Su family's mansion is not very large. Xia Yan visually inspected it, and it was about five or six times larger than the yard he bought. Compared to the mansions of some families, it is much smaller.

However, the Su family is just a small family, not a family with many people. No matter how big the yard is, there are only a few people living in it.

After standing in front of the door for a while, Xia Yan heard many footsteps coming from the courtyard. It seems that it is not just the guards who came out just now.

Xia Yan looked at the main entrance, and sure enough, the first person to come out was an old man in a gorgeous costume.

After the old man came out, he saw Xia Yan at a glance, but his gaze did not linger long, and he immediately looked left and right.

Then he turned to the guard and asked, "You said that there are mercenaries who have taken the mission, what about the people?"

The guard hurriedly pointed at Xia Yan and said, "Master, it's him, he's the mercenary who took over the task!"

"Master, look, he still has a medal on his chest!" the guard looked at Xia Yan and said.

"Huh?" The old man's eyes flashed, he looked at Xia Yan again, and sure enough, he saw the blue medal, "Mercenary?"

"First-level mercenary?" The old man's eyes lit up first, and then quickly dimmed, the first-level mercenary was obviously not the ideal object in the old man's heart at all.

"Is it Boss Su?" Xia Yan smiled and hugged his fists.

Although the old man was not very satisfied, he still smiled and also clenched his fists and said, "It's Su Li, sir, please come in!"

Either way, at least some mercenaries accepted the task. For three days in a row, not even a single mercenary appeared, and Su was naturally very anxious.

Xia Yan nodded, raised his feet and walked inside.
