Sub-quest 2: Find the Third Prince and give him the things. (The quest rewards the fourth to sixth levels of Jiuyang Divine Skill, and if you fail, the series of quests will fail) Note: During the quest, the brocade box will not be able to be placed in the inventory.
Branch task 3: Not enabled
Looking at the task that suddenly appeared again, Lu Yu was also speechless, and he couldn't put it in the inventory, this was for him to take with him, and the mission was over soon after he broke it.
And who these three princes are, he doesn't know at all, do you want him to go directly to the people of the Jiwu Dynasty, and now the people of the Jiwu Dynasty that Lu Yu has seen are the five people before, and obviously the four of them are dead.
The last person is definitely not a good thing, this task simply let him go to the Jiwu Dynasty, but according to past merchants, the Jiwu Dynasty's base camp Jiwu City is 300 miles away.
I thought in my heart, 'Forget it, don't worry about this task for now, the first three levels of Jiuyang Divine Skill have not yet been learned.' ’
Lu Yu also simply went back to the room, cocked the floor in his room, and hid the mirror box first, so that he could rest assured for the time being, knowing that he would be the first to know if others had damaged the inn's items.
The night passed like this, early in the morning, Zhu Cong felt a little uneasy early in the morning, and sure enough, when he stood on the counter and saw Lu Yu, the first thing he saw was that the other party had some ill intentions.
After some narration, Zhu Cong was also appointed, and he was about to be sent to do this kind of thing of stealing chickens and dogs after only a few days of coming, not to mention that according to Lu Yu, the place he wanted to go was not so simple.
But who made him the boss, and Lu Yu repeatedly assured that he would not worry about his life, Zhu Cong didn't say anything, after all, his life was still waiting to see those who killed his brothers and sisters die in front of him.
It's just that if he knows the specific meaning of this without worrying about his life, then it is estimated that he will find Lu Yu to theorize with his life.
The sky is only bright, it is still early to open the store, and no one usually comes at this time, Lu Yu told Li Xiaozui to wait in the hall, and he went out first.
For Lu Yu's memories of being a child here, the post station was quite prosperous, as it was connected to several important trade routes and was the center of several surrounding cities.
When he was a child, although he had a memory, he was a fool, and at this time, he remembered such a prosperous post station and said that there was no more.
Looking at the somewhat desolate post station, Lu Yu had a lot of thoughts for a while, and he didn't know when he would be able to restore the prosperous scene of the past.
Before coming to the wooden house built in his spare time, Lu Yu also knew that this was the most likely task to be completed quickly, and the dishes rewarded by the task would undoubtedly speed up the progress of branch task one.
As Li Xiaozui used the Ten Roast Duck recipe again, the progress of the task suddenly became 2/10, which was also very consistent with Lu Yu's guess, almost as long as it was a dish rewarded by the system, it did not need to be satisfied with the guests, in other words, the guests would almost be satisfied.
There are still more than 5 months to go, but an inexplicable sense of crisis has been haunting him since yesterday, so he has to speed up his pace to become stronger.
Solving the problem of households is actually very simple, in this chaotic martial arts world, all forces hate each other, all kinds of bandits and bandits are also emerging in endlessly, and as the name of the village at the bottom of the society, etc., naturally need a safe place to live.
So for now, since there is a bandit's den at the foot of the mountain twenty miles away, the nearby villages must be infringed upon from time to time, and for some unknown reason, if the nominal owner of this land does not care about it, then it is exactly what he wants.
However, Lu Yu has no intention of attacking the bandits' den, isn't it looking for death by going alone, who knows how many people there are in the bandits' den, even if all the bandits are just people who know how to do three-legged cat kung fu, hundreds of them at a time, then people alone can pile him to death.
So this bandit has become a bandit for the time being, and his target of use, as long as the safety of the surrounding villagers is used as a guarantee, it will inevitably attract some people who believe in it, and the task requires only one person.
Li Xiaozui's temperament Lu Yu has also understood a little so far, as long as there is no major matter, the inn will be handed over to him for the time being, and it is expected that there will be no big stubble.
Lu Yu decided to go to the nearby villages to check first, although he didn't know where there were villages nearby, but he remembered that the old man who cut wood and ran away when he saw him went in one direction every time.
I have to say that this ancient road is difficult to walk, and it is no wonder that once the official road is diverted, almost all the surrounding gathering places of human life will be affected.
You didn't see that it was only a moment's work, and Lu Yu had already passed through two woods, one large and one small, and he began to wonder if the old man was going in this direction.
Almost all of the exchanges are woods, why does the old man have to come here to chop wood, if it weren't for his idle eggs.
It's just that he has no clue, so he can only cover his head and walk forward, hoping that his luck will not be too bad, Lu Yu decided to take another stick of incense, and if there is no one in front of him, he will turn around.
As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and such a path also appeared in front of Lu Yu's eyes, just when he passed through a forest again.
"I'll go, this kid can be found, it's really heroic. ”
A familiar voice came from not far away from Lu Yu, Lu Yu hurriedly turned around to look, only to see that the old man who was planning to go out to chop wood secretly stood on tiptoe and was ready to turn around and leave quietly.
It's just that Lu Yu is no longer the first time he has seen Lu Yu when he saw the old man, and the old man's movements naturally can't escape his eyes.
The corners of his mouth flashed with a slight smile, and he secretly said, "This old man is really interesting, but because he tricked him once, he avoided him like this." ’
"I shouldn't have found me, otherwise I would have caught up a long time ago, this kid is not a good thing, almost run away. The old man listened to the situation behind him while walking, and when he heard that there was no noise, he looked behind him and found that the person was gone, and he was immediately relieved.
But just as he was about to spread his arms and run, he only heard a voice suddenly appear in front of him, and when he looked back, he almost didn't scare his heart out.
"Hey, Master, are you looking for me? Lu Yu said jokingly.
It's a pity that as soon as this master came out, it undoubtedly had a huge lethality to the old man's ears, and he was immediately frightened to the ground, "Don't come over to you, you have to cut down the tree, the old man will help you cut it, don't hurt me." ”
Lu Yu suddenly put away his thoughts about playing around when he saw it, how could this scare people like this, and he was suddenly a little inexplicable.
"Uncle, you misunderstood, I just saw that you wanted to thank you for helping me cut down the tree last time, I didn't mean anything else, it's just that you kept seeing me and ran away, and I didn't have this opportunity. Lu Yu explained.
When the old man heard this, he slowly raised his head and asked with some disbelief, "Are you sure it's just to thank me?" and nothing else. ”
Lu Yu immediately heard that the old man was in such a state, there must be something else, otherwise it would be impossible for him to scare him like this.
"Really, as you said, I'm a reader, how can a reader deceive people. Even Lu Yu himself didn't believe this sentence.
Sure enough, as soon as the old man heard the reader, he was immediately a little indignant and said: "Bah, bullshit reader, if it weren't for that bastard, how could we be so miserable." ”
Lu Yu also helped the old man up first, the old man is also a person who has come over, and seeing that Lu Yu doesn't look like a bad person, it may have been that he was too sensitive before.
"Young, don't want to get ahead with some knowledge, and in the end, if things don't go well, you even go to those bad people. The old man who sat down was full of emotion.
Maybe it's been a little suffocated for a long time, but today's old Chinese talk is extraordinary, and Lu Yu is also listening patiently.
It turned out that this old man was originally a villager of a nearby village, but now this village has long been out of character, most of the people have been captured by bandits, and some of the people who resisted have been killed directly.
Although these original bandits occasionally came back to loot, they also knew that they were poor, so they occasionally came to forcibly collect some money and food.
It's just that since that person followed this group of bandits up the mountain, this group of bandits has changed, and it has become a little incomprehensible to these village names who don't know the world.
The bandit village began to build on a large scale, so that all the people in the village became laborers, and only he and his wife went out to avoid a catastrophe, which may have been a kind of luck, but it was also a kind of misfortune, because they later saw that they had come back to look for their son, and only then did they know that this bad idea was given by his son.
They rejected their son's kindness, jokes, can this be considered a good intention, the old man immediately severed the father-son relationship with him, and his son finally went away in anger, and even said that they did not understand the way of the world.
Lu Yu was also embarrassed when he heard it, "Hey, it's so miserable, so miserable that I feel a little surprised." ’
Lu Yu could only say that the things on TV were not necessarily fake, and such a tragic thing had now been encountered by him, but in this way, he could more easily invite the old man and them to live at the post station.
The old man originally ran so far to chop wood in order to avoid the bandits and bandits, but at this time, he saw that Lu Yu sincerely invited him and his wife to live there.
When he thought that it was safer over there, he always felt a little uneasy about leaving his wife alone at home every day, and there were always jackals in this barren mountain range, so he didn't refuse immediately.
