Chapter Seventy-Five: The First Meeting
Xu Yuan has been in a very good mood in the past two days.
One is because the first investment has seen a return.
Miss Succubus has been working hard in her recent cultivation, and the growth rate of his soul is quite gratifying.
The second reason is that Xu Changge has arrived in Jiuyuan City this morning.
Yes, it is the Jiuyuan City that the eldest brother said when he threatened him before, the satellite town next to Jingjiang Mansion, according to Jingjiang Mansion, it is only forty miles.
The other party's casual threats before were not groundless, and it seemed that there was indeed something to deal with on the side of Jiuyuan City.
It is said that Aunt Lou Ji said that there was a problem with a large "demon beast breeding farm" in the deep mountains over there, which would affect the supply of some kind of soul elixir in the southwest.
Of course
In addition to these appearances, what makes Xu Yuan even more happy is the improvement of his own strength.
Since he used the Bleeding Mirror in actual combat that day, he seems to have broken through some kind of bottleneck, and his actual combat strength is rapidly improving at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Although he still needs to fight for a long time against those eight-rank quenching martial artists, these martial artists can hardly touch him now.
Of course, the price of such a style of play is that the consumption of Yuan Qi will increase rapidly.
Originally, Xu Yuan was able to fight with these eight-rank martial artists for a whole morning, but now after five or six fights, the source of Qi will be exhausted.
Come out of the loft in the middle of the lake.
Just thinking about things, Xu Yuan suddenly noticed a group of people dressed as long-term workers standing at the edge of the wetland lake.
I was a little surprised.
It was the first time he had seen so many servants gather around the lake, where at most one or two would prune and clean.
Eyes swept over, eyes made contact, and the servants bowed their heads in a panic.
Just when Xu Yuan was about to leave it behind, he suddenly met a pair of eyes.
β.........β
The moment they made contact, their eyes immediately lowered.
Xu Yuan glanced at the owner of this eye with a slightly strange look.
It was a young man dressed in gray linen.
The face is very ordinary, the temperament is also very ordinary, and it is inconspicuous when thrown in the crowd.
But for some reason, Xu Yuan looked at him inexplicably and felt a little peaceful.
After a slight hesitation, Xu Yuan paused.
The foreman next to him has been paying attention to these three sons out of the corner of his eye, and his eyesight is a necessary skill for the survival of a small person like him.
Seeing that the other party stopped, the foreman immediately walked over flatteringly and rubbed his hands a little crampedly:
"Hehe, what do you want from the third prince?"
Xu Yuan glanced at the servants and asked in a loud voice:
"Why are these people here?"
Seeing this, the foreman scolded in his heart, and immediately quietly waved his hand at these newly recruited long-term workers, signaled to get out quickly, and replied in a humble tone:
"These people are the new servants and chief workers in the house, and the younger ones are now taking them to familiarize themselves with the environment."
β.......β
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
The new servant?
At this time?
How many days does it take from Changhong Valley to Jingjiang City?
His mood spread slightly, and Xu Yuan subconsciously called out to the servants who were about to disperse:
"Wait."
β.......β
As the voice of the brocade-robed boy spoke, Qin Mo suddenly swept his eyes and saw that the great master Ma Fu he had seen was slowly walking towards this side from a distance.
There was a slight pang in my heart:
"Old man..."
"Don't panic, I'm here, this kid just glanced at you, what's the hurry?"
"Hmm....." Qin Mo's heart was slightly calm.
And the next moment,
He heard the next words of the brocade-robed boy, in a rather annoying tone:
"In the future, don't bring people to this lake to get together, it's very eye-catching."
When the foreman heard this, a trace of panic rose in his heart, and he quickly nodded and said;
"Yes, yes, these bad things will never appear here again in the future to hinder your eyes of the third son."
Xu Yuan glanced at the foreman:
"So are you."
"......" foreman.
A short conversation,
The foreman walked away with a smile on his face and a group of servants.
Qin Mo, who was mixed in the crowd, was relieved, let out a long breath, and left with the crowd.
Watching the crowd walk away, Xu Yuan, who was standing in place, also exhaled a long breath.
He shouldn't have stopped the other party just now.
If that's fine, there's no need to stop.
If there is a problem, then his subconscious move just now is to give away the head again.
He almost made a mistake, but luckily he reacted quickly.
After thinking about it for a while, Wuxuanyuan was not ready to go.
Xu Yuan realized where the sense of disobedience he felt just now came from.
Eyes.
Just now, he glanced away, and many servants made eye contact with him, but the eyes of these servants were all full of panic and cringe.
But the young man with an ordinary face did not.
Although it was only for a moment, Xu Yuan clearly saw that there was no panic in the other party's eyes.
Some are just calm, even faintly with a kind of condescending confidence.
It's as special as standing out from the crowd.
Even if this kind of look is seen in the eyes of a poor scholar, Xu Yuan will not be surprised at all, after all, it is famous.
But it appeared in one of the long-term workers in the mansion......
This is not a previous life, this is a transcendent world where the hierarchy can suffocate people.
Even the chief steward of the mansion was afraid to see him, not to mention the lowest-ranking servants in the mansion.
It's not normal.
Thoughts flashed, Xu Yuan subconsciously thought of Qin Mo, and there was a trace of absurdity in his heart.
That person just now was Qin Mo?
Xu Yuan thought that the other party might want to come to save Su Jinxuan, but he didn't think that the other party would dare to come to the mansion to save him.
Before he could go to him, he came to the door himself.
The three great grandmasters took out the big array in Jingjiang Mansion, and they all dared to come?
Are the protagonists of these plots so bold now?
Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
That's not necessarily the case, then Qin Mo may not know that he has a great grandmaster by his side.
What's more, he still has a soul ring on him, and there is a saint living in that soul ring.
From the other party's point of view, it is not impossible to sneak into the mansion to save people.
"......." Xu Yuan.
"Third son, but you want to go to Wuxuan Academy?"
Just as he was thinking about things, a voice came from behind Xu Yuan.
It's Zhou Chen.
Xu Yuan glanced at him sideways:
"Rest today, go find Su Jinxuan."
With that, he turned around and walked towards the northwest courtyard where the communication formation was located, where the shadow had been "training" Su Jinxuan for a while now.
If you want to verify whether that person is Qin Mo or not, it is very simple, just let Su Jinxuan test it.
The Black Scale Guard had a plan to let Qin Mo rescue Su Jinxuan and let her go undercover.
However, as soon as this plan came out, it was rejected by Xu Yuan.
The matter of killing Qin Mo was more important in Xu Yuan's heart than the forces hidden in the shadows.
He is very aware of the growth rate of the other party, and he knows even more about the height that the other party can reach in the future.
Silent all the way,
Walking into the heavily guarded courtyard, Xu Yuan suddenly asked:
"Mr. Zhou, do you know how the long-term servants in our house are recruited?"
"Huh?"
Zhou Chen's eyes were slightly surprised, and he subconsciously glanced at the servants who were gradually walking away, and said with a smile:
"I don't know the specifics, but basically they all recruit relatives of the old people in the mansion, and most of them inherit their father's business."
"No exceptions?" Xu Yuan then asked.
Zhou Chen was a little puzzled why the other party asked this, hesitated slightly, and replied truthfully:
"Of course there is, and it's very common, there are many crooked ways to get the kind of third-class long-term worker quota just now, and basically speaking, there are people in the house who sell this kind of quota."
Zhou Chen has been climbing up from the bottom, and he is quite familiar with these ways of making money at the bottom.
Xu Yuan frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Sell?" β
Zhou Chen said in a low voice:
"Now the outside world is a little chaotic, many people break their heads and want to squeeze into the family to do long-term work, and even sell themselves as servants, some people want to buy, naturally some people want to sell."
Xu Yuan frowned when he heard this:
"Recruiting long-term servants like this, won't there be a fine work sneaking in?"
"The third prince is careful."
Zhou Chen hugged his fists, and continued: "The people below this kind of thing will be somewhat measured, and even if they sell it, they won't sell it to people they don't know." And there are very few people who put in detail in this way, and the servants are servants all their lives, and they have no access to important information. β
"And what if someone uses this to assassinate him?" Xu Yuan then asked.
"Assassination..."
Zhou Chen just wanted to answer when he heard this, but Xu Yuan waved his hand to interrupt first, signaling that there was no need to explain.
His last question was a bit naΓ―ve.
Regardless of whether it is Qi cultivation or martial arts, the improvement of cultivation will continue to improve the physique.
Unless you cultivate to the fourth grade and melt your body to make your physical body turn against the ordinary, or practice some precious secret methods, it is difficult to hide the improvement of this kind of physique.
If you have cultivation, you can check your physical body.
The servants are not so particular.
As for those who say that they are above the fourth grade or have cultivated precious secret methods, they sneak into the assassination....
It is easy to be a thief in a thousand days, but it is difficult to prevent a thief in a thousand days.
It is difficult to prevent the assassination of firearms in the previous life, not to mention the transcendent world, the other party is willing to assassinate with blood, and it is the same whether there is this channel to enter the mansion or not.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen also changed the topic and asked softly:
"The third prince asked this, but there were doubtful people among those people just now?"
"Hmm."
Xu Yuan did not deny it.
Although it was impossible to confirm whether it was Qin Mo or not, it did not affect him to arrange it in advance.
Zhou Chen frowned when he heard this, and looked in the direction of the courtyard where the servants lived.
When Xu Yuan saw his eyes, he immediately reminded him:
"Don't act rashly."
Zhou Chen stopped his movements, muttered for two seconds, and asked in a low voice;
"The third prince is suspicious of them, but what did you find just now?"
Xu Yuan said truthfully:
"There is a person in this group of long-term workers who has the wrong eyes."
οΌ
Wrong eyes?
Zhou Chen, who heard this, was obviously stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and coughed lightly:
"Ahem. . . The third prince is cautious, but is this a little too worried? β
"......." Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan, he didn't know if he should be so excited because of a look.
But now this time is too coincidental.
Changhong Valley is only one hundred and twenty miles away from Jingjiang Mansion, and it can be reached in a few days, and Qin Mo also has the motivation and ability to sneak into the mansion.
When it comes to one's own life, one must be cautious and cautious.
Without much explanation, Xu Yuan glanced at Zhou Chen and said:
"Can you see for so long that I've worried about other people? Mr. Zhou, I suspect that Qin Mo sneaked in and prepared to save Su Jinxuan. β
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said:
"The kid who used the eight-rank quenching pulse to cut the seven-grade bone training before?"
"Hmm." Xu Yuan nodded.
Zhou Chen said tentatively: "In that case, does the third prince need Zhou to take a look?" β
Xu Yuan glanced at him and asked rhetorically:
"Mr. Zhou, you should have probed on that group of servants just now, right?"
"Naturally probed."
"Can you sense Qi on him?"
β........β
Zhou Chen's brows furrowed when he heard this.
Compared with Xu Yuan's judgment through a look, Zhou Chen was naturally more willing to believe in the results of his investigation.
But in case Xu Yuan's judgment is true, then the pair of conveniences is a strong person who can shield his perception.
Although the probability is very small, it involves the safety of the third son, even if it is one in ten thousand, it must not be let go.
His eyes gradually became solemn, and Zhou Chen clenched his fists slightly:
"Can the third prince go back to the house with me, and Zhou will go get the sword."
He can capture the sword in the air, but there will be source qi fluctuations, since he is suspicious, then everything needs to be on the safe side.
Xu Yuan groaned slightly, shook his head and refused:
"For the time being, everything is as usual, Qin Mo chose to disguise himself as a long-term worker, instead of sneaking in directly to save people, it is obvious that he is still afraid, and it is unlikely that he will act immediately."
"Moreover, I can't be sure that person is Qin Mo, I have to let Su Jinxuan test it first."
After that,
After Xu Yuan paused, he added:
"As for you, Mr. Zhou, um.... Can you please go to the communication secret array and tell Xu Changge what I just said truthfully. β
Fight the boss, you can have a big guy, and naturally you can't brush it alone.
He's got to shake the big guy over.
