Lin Zhanzhan carried the luggage that Han Yuning had prepared for him to go out, and went to the Woxing Pavilion near the foot of Liuyun Mountain as mentioned by the master, and joined the senior brothers on this mission.

A little far away from the wooden pavilion, I saw a woman alone there. It just so happened that the woman also looked over, and met her eyes, it was not Tong Die, who else could it be. Thinking of going on a mission with Tong Die, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed. But his complexion did not change, and he still walked forward unhurriedly. Tong Die couldn't wait, and walked quickly towards Lin Zhanqing.

"Senior Brother Lin, I didn't expect to go on a mission with you, Senior Sister is honored. Tong Die leaned over slightly, and her apricot eyes tilted upward. Blinked a few times, extremely cute.

"Ahem, cough, I can go on a mission with my junior sister. It's an honor for my brother. Lin Zhanqing coughed twice and straightened his face.

"Why did Senior Brother Lin cough? The injury from last time hasn't healed yet? Senior Brother come and sit down, Senior Sister will show you. Tong Die stepped forward and asked Lin Zhanqing to pull his hand.

"No, no, no. Maybe I'm in a hurry to talk and choke. It's okay. Lin Zhanqing took a step back and waved his hand.

As he spoke, another person came. His robe was flowing, his eye sockets were deep, and his face was emaciated. It is Gu Xi, the elder brother of the Acting Hall.

"Hello junior brother and sister, but I'm a step late to be a senior brother. Didn't bother my junior brothers and sisters, did you?" Gu Xi chuckled pointedly.

"Senior Brother Gu is polite, Senior Sister Tong and I have just arrived. "Lin Zhanqing is serious.

"Senior Brother Gu is good. What's the bother, our brothers and sisters don't say this outsider's words. Is it, Senior Brother Lin?" Tong Die looked at Lin Zhanqing after speaking, but he didn't get a response, and he didn't care.

At this time, a man and a woman came together, among them the man in a blue robe, with a handsome face and a graceful demeanor. The woman's aqua blue palace skirt has a slender posture, a gorgeous face, gentle and kind.

It is the senior brother of the Earth Instrument Hall, Ping Ziyan, and the sixth senior sister of the Hall, Qu Bingxin.

"Senior Brother Gu Xi, Senior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Tong is good. The two of us arrived late, and my sister was polite. Qu Bingxin said and saw Gu Xilin Zhanqing Tong Die.

"You and my brother and sister family, why are you so polite. Gushi bowed his hand and saluted back.

Lin Zhanqing and Tong Die also bowed their hands together to say hello.

"Then again, what exactly is this mission?" After the greetings, Lin Zhanqing asked Gu Xi with questions.

"This time the task is for Senior Brother Ping Ziyan to be responsible, and I don't know. Senior Brother Ping, what exactly is this mission? Why is it so mysterious? Gushi was equally puzzled.

"Please wait a moment. Ping Ziyan replied with a chuckle, and Lin Zhanqing and the three of them were even more puzzled. Qu Bingxin didn't seem to care, and he didn't know if he already knew, or if he only cared about Ping Ziyan and didn't care about anything else.

After a while, three more came. They are: the eighth senior brother of the Earth Instrument Hall, the senior brother Zeng Que of the Tianxing Hall, and the second senior brother Liao Quan.

Lin Zhanqing and the three of them were not only puzzled, but also a little solemn. Say hello to each other one by one.

Lin Zhanqing thought in his heart. Although the martial arts of their senior brothers cannot be compared with the real masters of the rivers and lakes, under the joint efforts of the eight senior brothers present, they can almost compete with a small and medium-sized sect. What kind of task is it that requires such a big battle? Sect missions generally do not involve fights between the Jianghu sects, and most of them are to protect the safety of certain people and protect some important items. Acting as an important aid in some operations is already the most dangerous in the sect's mission.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's go first, talk as we walk on the road. Hirako smiled, showing that the mission was becoming more and more mysterious.

Yanlai City is a small city in the south of the Yangtze River in Ning'an County, the capital of Nanzhou. Although the town is small, the local wealthy families are very large, and their business is spread all over the south. Not only the silk tea that is a specialty of the south, but also minerals, spices, daily necessities and so on.

On one day, there were eight young men and women. Each rode on horseback from the east side of the city of Yanlai. These eight young men and women are handsome and have extraordinary demeanors. It was the eight brothers of the Liuyun Sword Sect.

It took ten days to arrive all the way without stopping.

Although Yanlai City is not big, it is unusually prosperous. There are all kinds of shops and liquor stores scattered throughout the streets, and every shop, no matter how big or small, is full of grandeur. The smaller shops are also beautifully built and well-decorated. The large-scale shops use gold paint and silver threads to outline auspicious patterns of dragons, phoenixes, and beasts in conspicuous places in the building. The winery, the tea shop, the restaurant, the ready-to-wear shop, the jewelry store, and the goods store are really dazzling. The competition is so fierce, naturally no one is willing to be half a point weaker.

Ping Ziyan said: "Yanlai City is an important commercial town in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is extremely prosperous. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. The Wang family's mansion in Shili Lane in the south of the city, the Wang family not far from here, is the client of this mission. Ladies and gentlemen, let's take two quick steps. ”

Liuyun and the others patted their horses and sped up a few points.

Yanlai City, the mansion of the Wang family.

A girl in a lotus-colored dress has picturesque eyebrows, clear eyes, and a delicate melon seed face, without half a flaw. She is very beautiful and well-behaved.

At this time, he walked back and forth over and over again, looking anxious, as if he was waiting for something.

An old man in the shape of a servant next to him stepped forward to persuade, "Miss, you don't need to be in a hurry. Since Liuyun Mountain has taken over our task, it will definitely come. ”

"Although Liuyun Mountain will not lose its trust, it is really anxious to wait. The Zhang family's movements are getting bigger and bigger, and they are scared every day. The sooner Liuyun Mountain comes, the sooner our Wang family will be at ease. The girl was anxious and eagerly awaited.

"What Miss thinks and thinks is all for the overall situation of the Wang family. When the old man heard it, he didn't know how happy he was. Miss rest assured, the people from Liuyun Mountain will come soon, according to what was said in advance, it should be in these two days. The old slave first comforted, and then persuaded.

Miss Wang and the old servant were talking, when they suddenly heard a sound coming from the direction of the gate of the Wang family's mansion, as if a guest was visiting.

The entrance of the royal mansion.

A man in his early forties, dressed in gold satin with gold trim. A golden silk hat inlaid with jadeite. Golden moire silk shoes. In short, the whole body is golden, and the left hand is a jade wrench. Gold ring on the right hand. One word to describe, hove! Two words to describe, very proud! Three words to describe, very proud! In a word, no one dares to say that they are not proud! I don't know if I really like to dress up like this, or out of helplessness.

"Several young heroes have worked hard all the way, and Wang has missed the distance, please don't blame. Inside please. Seeing that the disciples of Liuyun Mountain were coming, the head of the Wang family hurriedly greeted them. As soon as he arched his hand, he invited everyone from Liuyun Mountain to enter the house.

The people of Liuyun Mountain returned the salute, and the horses were handed over to several servants of the Wang family. Follow the head of the royal family into the royal family's mansion.

Royal Hall.

The maid of the Wang family served tea to everyone in Liuyun Mountain. After drinking tea, a little greeting. The tiredness of the people in the hurry of the clouds is all gone.

Ping Ziyan hugged his fist towards the head of the Wang family and said, "I thanked the head of the Wang family on behalf of the people of Liuyun." "It's obvious that I'm in charge of this mission.

"The Wang family, the head of the four major families in Yanlai City. Business spread all over the South. There are many kinds of business, silk, tea, jade, and department stores are involved. Ping Ziyan said very skillfully, obviously doing his homework seriously.

Hearing this, the head of the Wang family admired and praised: "Liuyun Mountain is worthy of the Five Noble Paths of Martial Arts, and its disciples are serious and responsible, and they have both ability and political integrity. There are very few talents like Shaoxia. ”

The head of the Wang family looked at the sky, it was almost noon. I also saw the people of Liuyun Mountain running all the way, and the wind and dust were served. Ignoring anything else, he said:

"A few young heroes have been running all the way, and I should have done my best to entertain the landlord, and then rested for a few days, so as to be hospitable. But this time I really can't tolerate it, and I will definitely make up for it in the future. It's not early, let's have a light meal first. As for the mission, we'll talk about that later. We're not in a hurry. ”

When everyone in Liuyun heard this, they had a little more affection for the head of the Wang family who was covered in gold.

"Thank you for your hospitality. As soon as Ping Ziyan gave up his hand, everyone in Liuyun thanked him.

Although he knew that the Wang family was generous, the scene in front of him still made everyone in Liuyun stunned.

I saw two large tables full of all kinds of dishes.

The cold dishes are: boiled greens, preserved egg tofu, elbow flowers, drunken shrimp, belly slices, and beef in sauce.

Hot dishes include: sliced pork, fried three shreds, boiled shrimp segments, grilled pork face, squirrel osmanthus fish, steamed glutinous rice chicken, and duck with wine and fragrant lees.

The soup is on: sea cucumber soup, abalone soup, red cypress seafood family photo.

Stir-fried matsutake mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, and mushrooms in the mountains.

A few pots of fruit wine are even more superb. Senior Brother Liuyun was a little cute, and he couldn't imagine how this delicacies of the mountains and seas could be prepared in such a short period of time.

The head of the Wang family was completely unimpressed by this, obviously accustomed to such a life. kept talking, the time was in a hurry, there was no preparation, and the hospitality was not good, which made several young heroes laugh. And so on and so forth.

Everyone in Liuyun Mountain greeted each other slightly. Just let go and eat. A storm swept away.

Wang's living room.

The head of the Wang family held the teacup in his hand and slowly told the people of Liuyun Mountain about this mission.

"It's a long story, in this Yanlai City, in addition to my Wang family, there are also the Zhang family, the Li family, and the Zhao family, which live together as the four major families of Yanlai City. Although Yanlai City is only a small city on the border of the south of the Yangtze River, the transportation is convenient. Our four families have been working here for decades, and our business spreads throughout the Gangnam region, involving silk and all kinds of goods. But because of this, our four major families are becoming more and more incompatible. Talking about the past, the head of the Wang family sighed.

"Business conflicts are enough to worry about. But the contradiction is not the only thing. About five years ago, about 200 miles east of Yanlai City, a mineral was discovered, which produced some jade jewelry. In terms of value, although it is very rich for our four major families, it is not too important. But the long-accumulated contradictions of our four major families have been stimulated by this, and they have been out of control ever since. ”

"Our four families used this mineral as a name to frantically vent their resentment against each other over the years. After using various commercial means. Someone still did it. ”

"The four major families in Yanlai City are the head of my Wang family, the second of the Zhang family, the third of the Li family, and the fourth of the Zhao family. That night, someone ransacked a cargo station in the northwest market of the Zhang family, and all the shopkeepers in the cargo station were killed, and none of them were spared. ”
