Piaoyun, Li Hao, Jiang Tingting, Tailed Fox, Fire Girl, Amy I, Bingyu, Jiang Haotian, Ling Zhao, Lin Ke, and Murong Liantian set off in a majestic manner, and their destination was the Mayan Empire, the center of the continent. Their trip is not only to avoid the pursuit of the Crimson Gate, but also to improve their strength, they have a lot to do, and a small Crimson Gate will definitely not be their ultimate goal.
"One, two, three...... Fifty! A middle-aged man put his ear to the ground and counted them one by one: "Young master, we are surrounded." ”
"If these bandits hadn't brought too few people out this time, how could they be surrounded by these bandits." A young man in Tsing Yi next to him said angrily.
"Haha......" A strong man with a hideous face led fifty people and surrounded several people, "Wu Jianling, the young master of the Wu family?" There are only five of you and there are fifty of us, and our big boss has worked hard for you, as long as you go with us obediently, you can rest assured that I will not hurt you. ”
"Ridiculous, how can the young master of my dignified Wu family be afraid of you and a few thieves, when the people of my Wu family arrive, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around." The young man named Wu Jianling shouted loudly, how could he encounter such a grievance, he used to bully others, and now someone dares to threaten him, how can he not be angry.
"Young Master Wu Jianling, since we dare to do this, we must be determined to die, collect money and eliminate disasters with people." The strong man continued.
"Who is it who wants to harm our young master?" The guards beside Wu Jianling asked, there are not many enemies of their Wu family, but now there are people who want to harm their young master, and he naturally wants to ask who it is.
"We only ask who and where. As for the rest, we don't ask too much, that's our principle. "Strong man but with a good work ethic, he knows what to ask and what not to ask about their killer group.
"That's good. How about the other party give you how much money we give you double? "This sergeant is naturally aware of the situation in front of him, so he wants to try to solve it by other means.
"I'm sorry that we have to complete the mission since we have received money from others, and it seems that you are not going to surrender." The strong man said loudly, "Brothers, give it to me." ”
The killers are like that, they don't have the slightest mercy on their targets, and they don't want any surprises.
The encirclement of fifty men grew smaller and smaller, and finally several people were encircled.
"Give me a few of you." The sergeant was clearly the captain of the sergeant, and under his order, the four sergeants rushed out together. And he himself was firmly guarding Wu Jianling's side, for fear that he would encounter a little accident.
"The four paladins are trying to stop us." The strong man in the lead said disdainfully, the truth is indeed like this, the weakest of their fifty people is also a knight, and most of them have reached the level of paladins, especially he has reached the level of a fighter.
The four guards were all killed before they could stop the attack.
"Damn!" Looking at the sleek guard, the squire's body must have burst out of his fighting spirit, although he was also a fighter, but there were too many enemies, and he was also injured under several rounds of enemy attacks.
"Can a friend come to the rescue? If my Wu family can do what they can, they will do their best. The sergeant shouted towards the woods behind.
"As long as it gives us a place to live." A kind voice came from behind.
"That's natural, not only that, but our Wu family will also rely on our power to provide you with the information you want to provide as much as possible." Hearing that they would be provided with a place to stay, the sergeant guard commander knew that they had come here for the first time, and that they were still calm and calm in the face of fifty strong enemies, and that they must have something to do here. And they needed information, so the sergeant was clever enough to say it.
"Click......" There was no sound or figure in the woods, and the fifty people were quickly frozen.
"Ahh......h In just one moment, all the enemies were frozen, and then in another instant, they disappeared from the sight of Wu Jianling and the sergeant guard.
"What a cruel method. Killing people without seeing blood at all, so strong strength, killing people a hundred steps away. That was the sergeant's first reaction.
"Thank you for your help on behalf of the Wu family, thank you, I am the Wu family's guard, this is for my family's young master Wu Jianling." Looking at the group of people who slowly came out of the woods, he said respectfully.
"Under Li Hao! These are my friends. Li Hao didn't introduce everyone once, and there is no need for this, as long as they know each other's names as Li Hao.
"Brother Li Hao is so skilled, he can destroy the enemy so easily. Wu Jianling admired, and didn't know if he could go to the house to talk about it. Wu Jianling said with admiration.
"Since the young master is so gracious, Li Hao has no reason not to go." Li Hao did not refuse. They had been out of the Youlan Empire for more than a month, but they still hadn't made any progress, and they didn't even know where they were, so they decided that they should stop, and the best way to stop was to stay in a family, so that they could effectively hide their eyes.
"Brother Wu Jianling, in the next group, just passing by here, please don't mention it to outsiders." Li Hao's meaning is obvious, and our identities should not be exposed.
"That's natural, Brother Li Hao is the guest of honor of my Wu family, how can I let outsiders know." Wu Jianling replied very interestingly, as a young master, he naturally knew what he should know, as long as he knew that Li Hao saved his life, of course, if it was possible, he still hoped that Li Hao could stay in their Wu family to help them.
"Brother Li Hao is in front of our Sifang City!" Wu Jianling pointed to a huge city in front of him and said, this Sifang City does not seem to be the capital here, but its majesty is comparable to Youlan City, which is the center of the continent, or it has not reached the center of the continent at all.
"Quadrang City?" Li Hao remembered the name.
"Young Master Wu Jianling, why don't we enter the city from here?" Li Hao: They obviously came from the back, but now they passed through the north gate, but Wu Jianling led them to continue forward, no wonder Li Hao was strange.
"Li Hao is not afraid of your jokes. The reason why this Sifang City is called Sifang City is because it is jointly managed by the four major families, and in addition to our Wu family, there are also the Hu family, the Yu family and the Yao family. Our four major families often have conflicts in order to compete for their own interests, and even this city gate is like this. A family is only in charge of one city gate, and our Wu family is in charge of the east gate, so we have to enter through the east gate. "These Li Hao also understand, didn't Amy and their Wind Rock City also have four major families in the past? It's just that the four major families here are obviously much bigger than Amy's family.
In order to compete for their own interests, it is common for each family to divide their own forces in this city, and this city gate is of course their respective sphere of influence.
"This is the East Gate." After walking for a while, they finally came to the east gate.
"Look, it's Young Master Wu Jianling who is back, hurry up and open the door!" Seeing Wu Jianling standing under the city gate, the clansmen guarding the city hurriedly opened the city gate.
The forces in the four sides of the city are really divided into four parts, and in the city, there is also a large family that occupies one side, and their Wu family is naturally located in the east of the city.
The two golden characters of "Wu Mansion" show the status of Wu Mansion in the city, and Wu Mansion is definitely the most magnificent mansion in the east of the city. As for the other directions, it's hard to say, because there are three other families there.
"Xiu'er, you're back." A middle-aged man came over anxiously and saw that Wu Jianling was safe and sound, and then he was a little relieved: "I heard that you were in danger, and your mother fainted in fright, but I believe that you came back safely." ”
"It must be the other three families who are doing it." The middle-aged man said angrily. Those who are able to do such a thing believe that there will be no one else but them.
"Father, this is Li Hao, and his friends, they were the ones who saved Xiu'er's life." Wu Jianling was just talking to his father and forgot to introduce Li Hao and them, so he hurriedly introduced them.
"Li Hao, the old man is Wu Tian, the patriarch of the Wu family. Thank you Li Hao for your help this time. The old man was grateful. Wu Tian said respectfully to Li Hao, he not only wanted to thank Li Hao, but more importantly, he also wanted to leave a good impression on Li Hao, so that he could ask Li Hao for something in the future.
"Patriarch Wu is polite, Li Hao is just uneven, Li Hao and his party want to have a place to stay when they first come here." Li Hao's answer was quite polite, Li Hao had already understood a truth, low-key must be low-key, especially if they are still on the way to escape.
"That's nature." Wu Tian waved his hand and asked his subordinates to start preparing.
"Patriarch Wu Tian actually came here and we were just passing by, can you tell us what kind of place this is? How far is it from the Mayan Empire? Li Hao knew that Wu Tian was a sensible person, and he would definitely not expose their whereabouts, so he asked directly.
"This is the Hou Wu Empire, and this is only the periphery of the center of the continent, if you want to go to the Mayan Empire, it is estimated that there are still two months away. Of course, a person with such strength as Li Hao Shaoxia is another matter. Wu Tian told Li Hao about the situation here, and he also knew that he shouldn't ask, so he didn't ask Li Hao about their purpose. To be honest, Li Hao himself didn't know their purpose.
"Then does Patriarch Wu Tian know about the organization of the Scarlet Gate?" Li Hao wanted to test the power of the Scarlet Gate here.
"Crimson Door?" Wu Tian was surprised, and immediately calmed down again: "Li Hao, Shaoxia, are you talking about the Scarlet Gate, one of the several major forces in the center of the continent?" "It seems that Wu Tian still knows a little about this Scarlet Gate.
"Exactly. I don't know how much Patriarch Wu Tian knows about them? Li Hao asked with interest.
"Li Hao, Shaoxia said with a smile, our Wu family only has some weight in the Hou Wu Empire, and as for a big force like the Scarlet Gate, I have also heard a little bit." What Wu Tian said was the truth, how could they have a lot to do with that kind of force, "However, I heard that the Scarlet Gate is one of the several major forces in the center of the continent, but it is not easy to deal with, but I believe that that kind of big force does not have much penetration in a small place like ours." "Wu Tian is a smart person, he not only knows what to ask and what not to ask, but also can hear from Li Hao's words that Li Hao and they should have any grievances with the Scarlet Gate.
"Patriarch Wu Tian, according to our observations, this Sifang City should not be peaceful!" Li Hao deliberately changed the topic, he didn't want to tell Wu Tian everything, he knew that he would be able to guess one or two with Wu Tian's cleverness, after all, knowing people, knowing faces, not knowing hearts, maybe Wu Tian would betray them, and the question Li Hao asked was exactly the topic that Wu Tian cared about.
"Let Li Hao Shaoxia smile, don't hide it from Li Hao Shaoxia, the reason why we are called Sifang City here is because it was jointly built by the four major families, and after the construction, it has always been jointly managed by the four major families, and this situation has continued until now, so there is a situation that Shaoxia sees." Wu Tian only explained Li Hao's question, and did not say anything else.
"I see!" Li Hao pretended to be a surprised expression, and then did not continue to ask, after all, this is a private matter of others, and it is not easy for him to ask, and after Li Hao's observation, their four major families must be in a contradictory stage now, Li Hao is just passing by, and he doesn't want to care about so many things.
"But the patriarch ......," he said, hearing Li Hao's point, a knife next to him.
"Drop off with a knife!" Wu Tian stopped the knife, obviously he didn't want to tell Li Hao about them, and Li Hao naturally didn't blame Wu Tian for this time, but kept silent.
Because Li Hao rescued Wu Jianling, Wu Tian was very polite to Li Hao, and invited Li Hao and his party to a banquet in the evening, and the banquet was of course very rich.
Li Hao's accommodation is also very comfortable, which also shows Wu Tian's hospitality, after listening to Li Hao's question to himself, Wu Tian was very concerned, and sent people to inquire everywhere that night, and finally got some information.
This information is actually nothing more than the overall power of the Scarlet Gate, of course, Wu Tian didn't think that Li Hao would not know about this information, so he told Li Hao a little about the situation of some other forces, as well as some major things about what happened in the center of the continent.
For Wu Tian's enthusiasm, Li Hao actually turned a blind eye, he didn't want to get too close to them, he didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Of course, Wu Tian didn't ask Li Hao to ask him to continue to treat Li Hao like this, and he would come to see Li Hao and them every day, which was also a kind of respect.
After staying here for five days, Li Hao and the others didn't know where they were going, but they didn't want to stay here forever, after all, there was no progress in their affairs here.
"Patriarch Wu Tian, thank you for your hospitality these days, and thank you for the information you provided us, but we can't always bother you here, so we decided that it was almost time to leave tomorrow." Li Hao said politely.
"So, can't you stay longer? Our Wu family hasn't repaid Li Hao Shaoxia yet. Wu Tian said helplessly.
"Patriarch Wu Tian laughed, Patriarch Wu Tian has helped us a lot these days." Li Hao smiled slightly, the meaning was obvious, he didn't want to live with them.
"Young Man Li Hao!" At this time, a knife suddenly broke in from outside the door, and judging by his appearance, he should have something urgent to say. (To be continued.) )
