Volume 1 In the World 064 - The Iron Gang
After Yun Luochen finished speaking, he first grabbed Luan Yeqiu's sleeve and walked outside, Li Sheng hurriedly followed, but he still looked back nervously at the big men behind him from time to time, Luan Yeqiu was bent on getting rid of Yun Luochen's hand, and she wanted to make a few more moves with those people.
"What are you doing? With their little three-legged cat skills, it's not enough for me to fight alone!" Luan Yeqiu complained.
As if he hadn't heard, Yun Luochen hurried to the stable and took out the horses of the three, and said without a beak: "Get on the horse." ”
Luan Yeqiu snorted angrily: "I don't!"
Li Sheng stepped on the back of the horse without saying a word, and she was not idle in Yinglongtang for the past few days, not only watched those disciples practice martial arts and learned one and a half moves, but also quickly learned to ride a horse.
Yun Luochen looked unhappy and said, "Senior sister, don't forget, Master said that this mission was commanded by me." ”
Luan Yeqiu didn't answer, just "hummed".
Yun Luochen had no choice but to persuade him: "Senior sister, let's go first, and I'll explain to you slowly on the way." He suddenly smiled again, "Moreover, I will surprise you." ”
"Oh?" Hearing the surprise, Luan Yeqiu's eyes lit up, but he still climbed on the horse's back a little reluctantly, looked at Yun Luochen with some suspicion and said, "What you said, if you dare to lie to me, you will end up with the pig-headed boss just now!"
Yun Luochen rode on his horse and said with a smile: "Let's go, don't worry, I won't lie to you." ”
The three of them embarked on the trip again, Yun Luochen took out the money bag from his arms with a smile and handed it to Luan Yeqiu, "Senior sister, look, is this a surprise?"
Luan Yeqiu said in surprise: "Huh, when did you get it?" She took the money bag and shook it, looked at Yun Luochen with a strange gaze and said, "Why is it still a lot heavier than before?"
Li Sheng smiled beside him: "It turns out that this is what you said about last night's harvest, it seems that it is indeed a big gain." ”
Luan Yeqiu suddenly realized, pointed to Yun Luochen and said, "I know, it turns out that you went to be a thief last night!"
Yun Luochen said: "Senior sister, you can't say that, I'm just like you, just a lesson to that black-hearted profiteer, but judging from the results, my gains seem to be more considerable than yours." ”
Luan Yeqiu said disdainfully: "The last thing my family lacks is money, what's the big deal, I don't care, I just can't swallow this breath." ”
Yun Luochen said: "Senior sister is right, this harvest is indeed not worth mentioning, but before I came out of the inn, I had a bigger harvest." ”
Lisheng Mei's eyes flowed, and she smiled and said, "It seems that you have found some clues this time." ”
Yun Luochen nodded and said, "Yes, Lisheng, don't you think the appearance of that leader is a little familiar?"
"Familiar?" Li Sheng thought for a moment, suddenly gasped, and exclaimed, "Wild beast!"
"Wild beast, the wild beast of the four protectors of the Demon Sect, isn't he dead?" Luan Yeqiu was a little puzzled.
"He's dead, but do you remember, what kind of kung fu did he practice?" Yun Luochen reminded.
Luan Yeqiu finally understood, "I remember, that person's skin is different from normal people, it is blue-gray, and like wild beasts, they all practice the kung fu of transforming into soldiers!"
"That's right," Yun Luochen nodded, "so he can smash that chair to pieces with a single punch, but his skill is far worse than that of a beast, and the blue-gray color on his skin is not so obvious." ”
He smiled again and said to Luan Yeqiu: "So Senior Sister, you are right, with a few of them, it is indeed not your opponent alone, Senior Sister." ”
Luan Yeqiu raised his head proudly, "That's nature." ”
"However, since you can see that they may be from the Demon Cult, why don't you just take them down? Luan Yeqiu asked again.
Yun Luochen shook his head, "This is their territory, we are not completely sure, we had better not fight with others to the end, although they only appeared six people, but no one can be sure that there will be no masters hiding in the shadows, if we make a big fuss, we may be targeted by the Demon Sect prematurely." The most important thing now is to rush to the country of Ousi as soon as possible, after all, according to the news given by the sect, that is the place where the Demon Sect will make big moves, as for here, if there is a chance, I will come back in the future to investigate secretly. ”
Li Sheng suddenly asked: "When we arrive in the country of Ousi, where do we go first?"
Yun Luochen was stunned for a while, and said a little embarrassedly: "That depends on what Senior Sister means." ”
Luan Yeqiu glanced at Yun Luochen with some meaning, and said with a smile: "Has the Great Elder already told you that my home is in Pingqiu City, the capital of the Ousi Country?"
Hearing this, Li Sheng showed a surprised gaze, and Yun Luochen had no choice but to admit: "Yes, Master did tell me." ”
Luan Yeqiu said: "Actually, this time the news about the Demon Sect's actions in the Ossi Country was sent to Yinglong Hall by my mother, and she said that she hoped that the sect would send someone over to help. ”
Yun Luochen's expression was a little weird, "This is a bit unauthentic, your family asked the sect for help, but the sect sent you...... That's a help, isn't that for you to go back and solve your own problems?"
Luan Yeqiu said: "I'm going to go by myself." ”
She had a faint smile on her face, "It's been a long time since I've been home, and I want to go back to see my mother." ”
The morning sun shone on the open fields, the autumn grass turned yellow, swayed gently in the cool breeze, and from time to time fat hares could be seen scurrying around in the bushes. The three of them rode forward, and the clouds fell to the end of the sky in the autumn wind, and sighed in their hearts, how small they were in the vast world.
After walking for a few more hours, in the afternoon, he finally entered the territory of the country of Os. Luan Yeqiu rode to the front, turned around and said to the two, "Let's go to my house first." ”
Yun Luochen said: "When I got here, I naturally followed the host's convenience, and it was all arranged by the senior sister." ”
Luan Yeqiu's smile was as bright and moving as a spring breeze, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly." ”
The three of them rode along the long street to the east, and soon arrived at Pingqiu City, the national capital, where all kinds of exquisite goods and objects were dazzling, and the shouts of the street vendors were endless, and Yun Luochen couldn't help but sigh: "It's really lively." ”
Luan Yeqiu said: "Pingqiu City is the capital of sericulture, the silk fabrics here can not help but be of high quality, and the output is abundant, there are many merchants from other places who come here to buy silk and sell it back, it can be said that the entire northern Xinjiang, the most prosperous business is here." ”
Li Sheng suddenly whispered, "However, they don't seem to be very happy. ”
Luan Yeqiu asked strangely, "What did you say?"
Li Sheng explained: "Look at these shouting vendors, although they are shouting loudly, the expressions on their faces are numb, and there are some busy guys, all of them are full of sadness, as if they have a heavy heart. ”
Yun Luochen observed it carefully, nodded slightly, and said, "It seems that this is really the case." ”
Luan Yeqiu also gradually noticed that something was wrong, and said with a solemn expression: "Something must have happened here, let's go quickly, get to my house, and ask my mother to know." ”
The Luan's family compound is on the side of this long street, the door is very lively, a fat man selling meat stands in front of the meat stall shaking his belly and shouting, next to a blind fortune teller sitting, there is a strangely dressed, dark-skinned man is setting up a stall, looking like a stranger, around a group of children are laughing and running.
The three of them finally came to the front of the Luan family's compound, and there were several servants and maids standing in front of the tall courtyard, who seemed to be waiting here to welcome the eldest lady home, and they greeted Luan Yeqiu and the others with a smile on their faces. One of the slightly older servants bowed down and said, "Miss, you are finally back, Madame has been waiting in the lobby for a long time." ”
"My mother is waiting for me?"
"Yes, Madame said there was something important. The servant looked at Yun Luochen and Lisheng behind Luan Yeqiu, and also saluted the two of them, "The two must be the envoys from Yinglong Hall, and Madame also invites the two adults to go together." ”
"Your Excellency?" Yun Luochen was slightly stunned when he heard this title, thinking that the last time someone called him "Lord" was when he was the head of the palace a long time ago.
Luan Yeqiu also felt that this title was a bit funny, and turned around and patted Yun Luochen's shoulder, "Let's go, what are you doing in a daze, Lord Envoy?"
The three of them followed the servants and maids inside, and walked through the corridor surrounded by flower beds, where the autumn chrysanthemums in the garden were in full bloom, and the air was filled with an elegant fragrance.
The servants led the three to the door of the lobby and went in to report it, and the maids went down to prepare tea. Soon, the door to the lobby opened again, and the servant invited the three men in, and he stood outside the door and waited.
The lobby is very spacious, a middle-aged woman sits on the central seat, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, dignified manners, she is wearing a plain long dress, although the color is elegant, but the material is very precious, although just simply sit there, there is naturally a strong aura as a hostess.
As soon as Luan Yeqiu entered the door, he happily rushed forward, "Mother, I'm back." ”
Mrs. Luan glanced at Luan Yeqiu lovingly, and smiled at Yun Luochen and Lisheng, "Please sit down, two of you." When his eyes fell on Lisheng, he saw that she was veiled, and looked at her twice as if he was curious.
After several people were seated, Mrs. Luan spoke: "Because I have sent a letter to Yinglongtang before, so everyone must know the general situation here, and I am in a hurry to summon you all today to tell you that the situation in Pingqiu City has reached a very critical moment." ”
Luan Yeqiu had a worried look on her face, "Mother, what's going on here?"
Mrs. Luan sighed slightly: "In the past six months, two major events have happened in Pingqiu City, the first thing is that a big family surnamed Meng moved from the south half a year ago, this family is strong, just came to Pingqiu City and took several boundaries, opened several large money houses and restaurants, in less than two months, they began to get involved in the silk business, and they have become the biggest competitors of our Luan family's industry." ”
Mrs. Luan paused, and then said, "This second incident happened in the last month, and it is also the main reason why I specially asked you Ying Longtang for help. ”
"Is the Demon Sect here?" Luan Yeqiu couldn't help but interject.
Mrs. Luan was noncommittal, "It's an organization called the 'Iron Cloak Gang'. ”
"The Iron Clothes Gang?" Luan Yeqiu asked, "Are they called this because they always wear iron armor?"
Mrs. Luan shook her head, "On the contrary, not only do they not wear armor, most of the time, they are always topless. ”
Hearing this, Yun Luochen's heart sank, and he immediately asked, "Is their skin all blue-gray?"
