Volume 1 Citygate Chapter 30 Mission Assessment
At noon the next day, at the west gate of Taiwu Town, there were many carriages coming and going, and the people on the carriages looked like dusty servants, obviously after a long journey.
After Hu Jian woke up in the morning, he saw that He Yun's state had improved, so he came here, naturally one was to listen to the conversations of the past caravans and know more about the outside news, and the second was to take a look at the caravan heading to Citygate, the reason was naturally that he didn't know the way, but he didn't care so much about the reward.
As for Zhang Guang's safety, although he also went to Qingcun in the morning, Qingcun was still unharmed, that is, the village chief was said to have gone because he was old, but the village chief has always been in good health, he guessed in his heart whether it was the ghost old man and his party, he knew in his heart that it should be the ghost old Zhu Feng, and secretly left some silver taels for the village chief's family, in order to compensate for the guilt in his heart.
And Zhang Guang was really not there, but he already had a judgment, Zhang Guang should be fine, plus He Yun should wake up today, you can confirm it again, he naturally began to plan to go to Citygate, after all, Citygate is a must-go place for him to become stronger, a map left by Ape Wu is densely marked with some rare demon grasses such as Star Spirit Grass, Pattern Tibetan Flower, Shadow Flower, etc., which is of great help to his cultivation.
The caravans generally stayed in Taiwu Town for a few days, taking a short rest to replenish supplies, these days were just enough time for him to find out Zhang Guang's whereabouts, he looked up at the Yunlin Trading House on the plaque, and walked in.
If you want to take the task of the caravan, you must need a letter of introduction from the firm, and the firm will understand the strength of the person who comes, basic information, etc., and eliminate some of the most vicious wanted criminals who are recorded, and then issue an escort task in the lobby, different task requirements are not the same, some need a dart bureau, some need a strong individual, and some need some people with average strength as an escort, after the person chooses the task, the firm will issue a letter of introduction, telling how to find the caravan responsible for the person in charge of the joint.
Hu Jian's mind flashed these information, these were all things he told him before leaving, he didn't think that there were so many accidents this time, he sighed slightly, and couldn't help but sigh a little that the world is impermanent.
"This little brother doesn't know what's going on?" a small-eyed old man in charge of reception in the trading house looked at Hu Jian and said softly.
Donglin Continent is still martial, and there are many people who usually come out to practice at the age of fifteen or sixteen, so Hu Jian looks like a teenager, and the old man is not strange.
"I'm here to pick up the task, for the first time. Hu Jian said softly, he said that the purpose of the first time was to save time, otherwise the old man would have to ask him all kinds of names, strengths, certificates and other things.
"Oh, the little brother is really young and promising, then we need to speak for the first time...", the small-eyed old man seemed to be about to explain, and he was about to speak.
"I know, let's start directly, test the identity first, then test the strength, and then give the certificate. Hu Jian interrupted directly.
"Little brother knows best, little blue, take this little brother to do the task assessment. The small-eyed old man shouted to a woman in blue in the lobby.
The woman looked to be in her forties, and a sign on her chest had the word Lan Yan written on it, and her appearance was mediocre, but her eyes looked a little incongruous, and she faintly felt a little bitter and mean.
"Come with me. Lan Yan looked Hu Jian up and down, with extreme contempt in her eyes, as if she was very unhappy that Hu Jian had disturbed her time.
Hu Jian was slightly stunned, feeling a little inexplicable at this unprovoked contempt, but he didn't speak, and followed behind Lan Yan.
"Pay 5 taels!" Lan Yantou didn't reply, and walked towards a side door by herself, not even waiting for Hu Jian.
Hu Jian shook his head, paid the fee, and walked towards the side door, looking at Lan Yan who was standing next to a wooden basin.
"Wash your face with this water first. Lan Yan pointed to the wooden basin.
Hu Jian nodded when he heard this, there was a smell of grass in the water, I don't know what it was, after washing, his face felt a little warm and cool, and it was quite comfortable.
After Lan Yan saw that there was no abnormality, he took Hu Jian into a stone chamber made of blue-gray stones, the left side of the stone room was full of round stones of different colors, and on the right side was a row of iron frames, and there was a circular groove at the top of the iron frame, which seemed to be used to put round stones.
Lan Yan picked up a yellow stone from the left and placed it on the iron frame, this is called granite, which can withstand a force of 1,000 catties, in Lan Yan's opinion, Hu Jian doesn't look strong, he should be at most a martial artist at the intermediate level, such a person asks for a proof that he basically goes to join the various sects and work as a porter, and he has no interest.
"Hurry up. Lan Yan said with impatience on her face.
In fact, the tests were all fist gloves, but Lan Yan deliberately did not give it to Hu Jian, wanting to see Hu Jian make a fool of himself.
When Hu Jian heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, he took a slight breath, and smashed his fist towards the stone.
With a loud "boom", the huge iron frame shook slightly, and the center of the stone under Hu Jian's fist had become powdery, and the periphery of the stone was also covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
When Lan Yan saw this, he thought that Hu Jian was stupid, he didn't do any protection, and he was ready to watch Hu Jian clench his fists and make a fool of himself, but as a result, Hu Jian looked calm and relaxed, and there was no unexpected injury on his hand, and the center of the stone had become powdery, and his jaw was about to fall in shock.
"Is it okay?" Hu Jian reminded Lan Yan as he watched Lan Yan speak.
And Lan Yan reacted at this time, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her heart was horrified, and she suddenly didn't dare to underestimate Hu Jian, with this strength, she was generally regarded as a captain in the sect, thinking that her performance was likely to offend Hu Jian, she was busy showing a flattering look in her eyes, and it was not good for Hu Jian to retest, and said in her mouth, "Gongzi is really a young hero, a dragon and a phoenix among people, it's already okay..."
After Hu Jian came out, he held a small notebook in his hand, on which some basic information was written Chen Jun/Taiwu Town/Strength Samurai Senior.
Hu Jian's brows furrowed slightly, he was obviously only a samurai intermediate, and he didn't use dark energy, how could there be such a result.
However, how did Hu Jian know that under the intersection of his hands and stones, there was no abnormality, which at least the strength of a samurai would have. And the senior samurai is already enough to be the leader of a third-rate and fourth-rate force in Taiwu Town, and even in the Citygate army, he is also a ten-division position.
In the abandoned thatched house, He Peng woke up first, he looked at He Lan and He An who were still sleeping in the house, did not see Hu Jian's figure, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and walked towards He Yun on the thatched pile.
Seeing that He Yun's frowning brows had been stretched, and a trace of blood had recovered on his face, as if he had improved greatly, He Peng touched He Yun's head and confirmed it, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"Xiaopang, Xiaolan, Uncle Yun is better, his head is no longer hot. He Peng turned his head and shouted.
"Really, that's great. When He Lan heard this, a smile bloomed on her face, and she walked towards the thatched pile.
"Maybe it's Uncle Yun's own good, and it may have nothing to do with that kid. He An saw He Yun's recovery, but he said that he was complaining about He Peng's brothers and sisters for being too gullible about Hu Jian because of He Peng's letting Hu Jian take medicine.
He Peng frowned slightly when he heard this, He Yun has always taken care of this He An, just like his biological father, but this He An feels at ease, he doesn't care much about He Yun's injury, his heart is very small, and his training on weekdays is also cutting corners, he has no ambition, he is as timid as a mouse, he didn't expect this He An's first reaction to be like this, which made him feel a little more disgusted with He An in his heart.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the house, and it sounded like at least three or four horses were rushing at great speed...
