Chapter 58 Protection
Outside the door of Jufu Building, by a slightly dark alley, there were three men in Tsing Yi sneakily staring at the door of Jufu Building.
One of them was the sharp-beaked monkey cheek who was selling water with Xia Yan and Li Yuanchun next to the well on Long Street, hiding in the shade with a greedy gaze in his eyes, and licking his chapped lips fiercely.
"Second brother, you said that the fat sheep entered the Jufu Building, why hasn't he come out yet?"
The person who was called the second child was the man who sold water, and he smiled and said: "I saw them enter the Jufu Building with my own eyes, there will be no mistake, big brother, they will definitely come out of the Jufu Building in a while." ”
"Second brother, you said that the fat sheep has a bulging money bag on his body, right?" The third person had shining eyes, the tallest figure, and buckteeth protruding on his forehead.
"Hmph, of course it's not wrong, I saw with my own eyes that the money on the fat sheep's body is at least a few dozen gold coins. The second child puffed out his cheeks and narrowed his eyes.
These three people are not from Yushui City, but outlaws, and every time they loot in one city, they will run to other cities. They have not done such a thing as robbery once or twice, they are extremely experienced and have old methods. Although they robbed, they did not hurt anyone's lives.
"Second brother, are you sure there are no guards around the fat sheep?" The eldest surname was the most cautious, although the second brother said it many times, he still asked again and again.
Generally, when the rich come out, they will bring guards with them, and if there are guards, then the risk of robbery will increase. The reason why these three people have not missed a crime for many years is because they are very careful, and as long as the situation is not right, they would rather not rob than take risks.
"Heihei, big brother, that kid looks like he's just a weak scholar, and there are no guards around him. Although there is another man with him, I don't think there is any threat. If that person had the strength, how could he go to the well on the side of the street to drink water? He was so poor that he couldn't even enter the tea shop, so he couldn't have great ability. Big brother, we just need to wait for that kid to walk to the street where there are few people, and then snatch the money bag from him in one fell swoop, and then quickly leave Yushui City. The second child's eyes flashed, and he shook his fist violently, and rushed excitedly.
The other person he was talking about was Li Yuanchun.
Under normal circumstances, a cultivator with high strength could not be so poor that he could not even afford to drink water. However, Li Yuanchun was forced to drink from the well on the side of the street, obviously without any real skills.
Because of this, this second child had a bad heart after Xia Yan revealed his wealth. Called his eldest brother and third brother over, prepared to rob Xia Yan, and then left Yushui City together.
"Hehe, the second brother is doing things, I don't worry! Hehe, if I can grab dozens of gold coins this time, the three of my brothers can live happily for a while. The third child said with a smile.
"Well, when I see the fat sheep, I will signal to do it, and you can do it. The boss's voice sank, and his eyes swept over the second and third children.
The second and third nodded again and again.
..........................................
Xia family house!
Because Xia Changhe was busy, he had not been to Xia Yan's small courtyard for several days. Today, after noon, Xia Changhe took advantage of his short time to arrive at Xia Yan's courtyard.
However, Xia Yan was not there, in the courtyard, there was only the maidservant Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing had never seen Xia Changhe, but when he saw that Xia Changhe was extraordinary, he thought that he was also a member of the Xia family, so he dealt with it carefully.
"You said that Xia Yan left at noon, do you know where he went?" Xia Changhe didn't see Xia Yan, so he asked casually.
He came this time to ask Xia Yan if he had any difficulties in cultivation. In the past, when Xia Yan's cultivation did not make any progress, Xia Changhe often came to chat with Xia Yan, but now that Xia Yan's cultivation speed is thousands of miles, Xia Changhe naturally wants to talk to Xia Yan more.
After Xiaoqing served tea to Xia Changhe, he lowered his head and said carefully: "The young master was invited by Miss Wang, and when the young master left, he said that he was going to eat. ”
Xiaoqing stood aside, and when Xia Yan left, he specially told her not to come back for dinner at noon.
Xia Changhe frowned, got up from his seat, and said in a deep voice: "Miss of the Wang family, which Miss of the Wang family?"
Xiao Qing replied crisply: "I heard the young master say that the young lady's name is Wang Yuyan. ”
Hearing Xiaoqing say this name, Xia Changhe's face changed suddenly, Wang Yuyan of the Wang family in Yushui City, who else is there? It must be the young lady of the Wang family, who is known as the three major families along with the Xia family.
This Wang Yuyan invited Xia Yan to dinner for no reason, will there be a hidden mystery in this?
In an instant, Xia Changhe thought of several possibilities. The current Xia Yan is very important to the Xia family, directly related to the future status of the Xia family, and it is the hope of the Xia family. Xia Yan's safety is the top priority. In particular, recently, the Council of Elders has regarded Xia Yan as a key cultivation object of the Xia family.
What's even more worrying is that in half a month, there will be a battle for the quota of the three major families, at this moment, Wang Yuyan invited Xia Yan to dinner, will there be any conspiracy?
As an elder of the Xia family, Xia Changhe couldn't help but think about it, and he couldn't help but think about Xia Yan's safety. Even if the Wang family's possible surname with an ulterior purpose is very small, Xia Changhe can't help but make the fastest response.
Seeing Xia Changhe's violent reaction, Xiaoqing was startled, and his face became a little pale, thinking that something was wrong.
"Wang's ......"
Xia Changhe only said two words in the end, and then left Xia Yan's courtyard quickly, leaving Xiaoqing, who was a little stupid. Xiaoqing looked at the still steaming teacup, not knowing what was going on. These things in the family are not something that she can understand as a maid, and she can't think of going deeper.
"Something won't happen for a while, right? Don't ......" Xiaoqing's new house suddenly became nervous.
......
"What??Xia Yan was invited by Wang Yuyan?" After the patriarch Xia Feilong heard the news, his face also changed greatly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
If the Wang family really has any other purpose, then ......
"Yes, Xia Yan's maid said that Xia Yan went out at noon. It's been a long time now. Patriarch, that Wang Yuyan invited Xia Yan to dinner, it must be in the Wang family's Jufu Building. It's better to take someone to pick up Xia Yan now. Xia Changhe's chest rose and fell violently, and he said eagerly.
Regardless of whether the Wang family has other purposes or not, the Xia family must bring Xia Yan back as soon as possible. Now is a very moment, and in another half a month, it will be the battle of the three major families. The battle of the three major families, for the three major families, the important surname is not trivial, and even the Jade Water City Holy Church will pay attention to this game. When the time comes, many of the Templar deacons will go to watch the battle. If Xia Yan had some accident before the battle, causing him to be unable to participate in the battle, it would not be good for the Xia family.
Xia Feilong groaned slightly, the fierce light in his eyes disappeared, and said, "Third Elder, I think it is still up to the Great Elder to go in person. In this way, it is more appropriate. ”
What Xia Feilong meant was that the strength of the Great Elder was second only to that of the Spirit Master, and if he really encountered a special situation, he would be sure to deal with it.
Xia Changhe thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "What the patriarch said is true! Then ask the Great Elder to work hard and quickly lead people to Jufu Tower." Xia Yan eats in Jufu Building, as the key cultivation object of our Xia family, it is also appropriate to send people to protect it, even if the Wang family is uncomfortable, it is impossible to say anything. ”
Xia Feilong smiled and said, "Exactly!"
