Chapter 1044 On the Road
The golden sun in the sky stretched, and the hard-working people began their day's work.
Free Square City, in Miancui Pavilion.
Early in the morning, Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi came to the store, but were told by shopkeeper Jin that the batch of flame agate they wanted to transport had not yet arrived.
Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi were sitting in a booth in the front hall of the store. Shopkeeper Jin sat next to them with a smile on his face and treated them to tea.
Opening a curtain, you can see the counter in the front hall of the store. The door curtain is equipped with a one-way soundproofing ban. People sitting inside can hear sounds from outside, but outsiders cannot hear sounds in the compartment.
Tea is still West Lake Longjing.
Good tea, promotes body fluids and quenches thirst, has a mellow aroma and clears the meridians.
"Eighteen guests please come in."
"Nineteen guests please come in."
The shop assistant's greeting came from the counter outside.
"Shopkeeper Jin, the business in your store looks good today." Mai Xiaoqi said.
Shopkeeper Jin nodded with a smile, "With great wealth, drink tea, drink tea."
Time passed quickly, and it was almost noon in a blink of an eye.
"Forty-seven guests, please come in." The number in the greeting voice of the shop assistant outside was increasing.
"Shopkeeper Jin, there are so many customers in the store, why don't you go outside and take care of the business?" Mai Xiaoqi asked.
"The guests outside are important, but you two are more important." Shopkeeper Jin looked at Xu Yang, "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Yang smiled slightly at first, and then said seriously: "If each of these guests from outside brings a knife, they are forty-seven swordsmen. If they choose to kill, they are forty-seven killers."
Shopkeeper Jin spread his hands and said, "Mr. Xu, you are really good at joking. In broad daylight, people in the market will not kill people casually. Otherwise, this market would have been ruined long ago."
"Some things just don't follow common sense." Xu Yang said.
"No, no." Shopkeeper Jin waved his hands repeatedly.
"And if these people are all delivery men, the sum of the goods they deliver will be a large enough batch of goods. The purpose of this is to prevent this batch of goods from being picked up by others." Xu Yang said.
Shopkeeper Jin immediately raised his thumb: "Mr. Xu, you are really a smart man, that's the truth. I, Lao Jin, like to do business with smart people the most."
Mai Xiaoqi blinked his big eyes and said, "So that's it. The goods these people sent are what we want to send away."
Shopkeeper Jin nodded, smiled and said nothing, as if he had everything under control.
Mai Xiaoqi thought for a while, and then said: "Since these people can deliver the goods to Shopkeeper Jin, why not let these people deliver the goods directly to the Southern Territory?"
Shopkeeper Jin explained: "The environment is different. In the Northern Territory, top-grade flame agate is a strategic cultivation resource. Large quantities of top-grade flame agate are prohibited from circulation. Once discovered by the merchant alliance and large sects, they will be seized. And Since the quantity of goods carried by each person is small, it will not be seized and will not be seized. Even if the number is calculated by the inn, even if there is a problem, the goods will have been shipped long ago. If something goes wrong with one of the delivery people on the way, it won't affect our plans."
Shopkeeper Jin picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. Putting down the tea cup, he continued: "It's different when goods are transported to the Southern Territory. There are countless bandits on the border where the Southern Territory and the Northern Territory meet. If these people are asked to deliver goods one by one, most of them will not be able to get through. Only It would be safer to entrust masters like Mr. Xu and Brother Mai to transport the goods openly. It can also be said that with their abilities, we can carve out a bright road to the Southern Territory."
Mai Xiaoqi pointed at Shopkeeper Jin, "You
What a prudent businessman. "
Xu Yang added: "Otherwise, just to transport a batch of ordinary goods, Shopkeeper Jin wouldn't have paid for the inner elixir of the Neptune Spirit Beast."
"The fiftieth guest has arrived." The store clerk's bright greeting came from the front hall.
Shopkeeper Jin stood up from his seat, "Our goods are all here, let's go out and take a look. This time the goods were divided into fifty-five parts, and the number sent to the Southern Region was fifty. The remaining five Whether the amount is received or not, it will not affect this transaction. "
...
The goods delivered by fifty delivery persons each have a Qiankun bag, making a total of fifty bags. It is filled with the finest flame agate. Place of origin: Yudomon Red Flame Peak.
Qiankun bags are more delicate and expensive bags than ordinary storage bags, and are used to hold things. Comparing the two, the Qiankun Bag can hold some things with special properties. For example, the best flame agate has strong fire properties, and ordinary storage bags will be ignited.
At this moment, the golden sun in the sky has reached the highest altitude, shining a bright and just day.
The cart was pulled by two tiger-striped mules selected by the shopkeeper himself, and Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi escorted the cart. A cart of flame agate is on the road, its destination is Feixia Mountain in the Southern Region.
...
After leaving Fangshi, we came to the main road.
With Xu Yang driving the car, Mai Xiaoqi simply sat on the roof. Sit high and see far.
"Xiao Qi, sit tight. We are on our way soon." Xu Yang said.
"Let's go back to the Southern Territory with little brother Xu Yang." Mai Xiaoqi couldn't hide his excitement and covered the deerskin hat on his head with his hands to prevent it from being blown away by the oncoming wind.
Xu Yang raised the whip in his hand and made a crisp crack in the air.
The two old mules and horses started running hard when they heard the sound of the whip.
There was flying dust flying from the back of the truck.
...
Before that, two special guests came to Fangshi.
One is a young Confucian scholar with white hair and white robes, and a stern appearance. Born with an unusual temperament, he is a gentleman as ice.
The other one is a woman wearing a yellow dress. The woman has a delicate and dignified appearance, and looks to be in her twenties. The breeze passed by and could not help but quietly stir up the skirt of the woman's clothes. The skirt of the clothes is swaying lightly, like a golden chrysanthemum blooming quietly, silently but seemingly making a sound.
If Xu Yang were here, he would definitely recognize Zhan Yunfei from Yudao Sect and Dong Hongyan, the master of Huang Yufeng Peak.
Zhan Yunfei and Dong Hongyan acted separately.
Baipao Zhan Yunfei went to a shop called "Feiyu Pavilion".
Feiyu Pavilion is a temporary shop placed by Hadomen in this city. On the surface, it is for buying and selling goods from the Northern Territory. In fact, it is a station for gathering intelligence for Hadomen.
Dong Hongyan in the yellow skirt went to Miancui Pavilion, and shopkeeper Jin personally received her.
After noon, Zhan Yunfei and Dong Hongyan met at the north gate of Fangshi.
"The news from Miansui Pavilion is that this batch of flame agate has been sent out, and its destination is the Southern Territory. But because the previous consignment agreement was confidential, even if I showed the identity plate of Yudomon, the shopkeeper Jin of Miansui Pavilion did not inform me I will send you the details of the goods," Dong Hongyan said.
"In this case, this batch of goods was not intercepted by the Shadow Organization. It seems that the purpose of the Shadow Organization is not this batch of goods. If it was, this batch of goods would not have reached here at all." Zhan Yunfei said.
"The Shadow Organization is getting stronger and stronger, and more and more evil cultivators in the Northern Territory are being taken in by the Shadow Organization. Unexpectedly, this time, the consignee of the black market consignment turned out to be the Shadow Organization. Our Yu Dao Sect just negotiated with the Shadow Organization last month. shadow group
There was a conflict with the organization, and now a transaction has occurred. If word spread, it will definitely damage the reputation of our Yudo Sect. "Dong Hongyan said.
"Now that this batch of goods has left the market, if any problem occurs, it will not involve the Hadomen. Now all the major sects in NATO are secretly conducting transactions with the Southern Territory. This is already an open secret. But all parties There is no balanced compromise of interests, it has not yet been put on the table. Now that the goods have left the market, there is no need for us to continue tracking them." Zhan Yunfei said.
"Now we only have one mission, tell us the news you got."
"The news from my side is that Xu Yang did come to this city. However, he has already left the city. He left the city before noon with a young man from the southern region. They also brought A truckload of goods." Zhan Yunfei said.
"So, Xu Yang has not become a demon as rumored. The matter is far less serious than imagined." Dong Hongyan said.
"If Xu Yang agrees to return to the Northern Territory with us, it would be best to explain to Mr. Lan Xingjun face to face to resolve this misunderstanding." Zhan Yunfei nodded.
"If it were that simple, Peak Master Ji Wuhen would not be injured by Xu Yang. This time, we will probably use force to take Xu Yang back to Yudao Sect. I know that you and Xu Yang are friends. This is probably why you took the initiative to apply for this mission.”
Zhan Yunfei nodded, "The task given to us by the Great Elder Blue Star Lord is to intercept Xu Yang at all costs and not let him go to the Southern Territory. If Xu Yang resists, he will be killed on the spot. Xu Yang and I are friends, He has helped me a lot. This time it is best for me to do the task. I believe that even if Xu Yang becomes a demon, he will not die."
"Junior Brother Yunfei, I'm afraid Elder Lan Xingjun has already seen your thoughts." Dong Hongyan said.
"I swear to the face of the great elder Lan Xingjun that as long as I see Xu Yang. Unless I am killed by Xu Yang. Otherwise, I will definitely bring Xu Yang back to Yudao Sect."
"Even Peak Master Ji Wuhen couldn't stop Xu Yang. If you want to stop Xu Yang, you and I have to do our best." Dong Hongyan shook her head slightly.
"Maybe." Zhan Yunfei looked solemn.
Zhan Yunfei knew in his heart that if he and Xu Yang fought one-on-one, he would probably not be Xu Yang's opponent. But with the senior sister Dong Hongyan in front of him, the chances of winning are much greater.
Before coming, Lan Xingjun specifically explained this matter.
Encountering Xu Yang, the two sides fought, and Dong Hongyan used the rhythm formation to induce the passive demonization of Xu Yang's body. In the demonized state, Xu Yang's energy will be unstable. And Dong Hongyan's musical skills are just good at attacking the soul. Dong Hongyan used the Rhythm Formation to suppress the demonized Xu Yang, and Zhan Yunfei took the opportunity to use the Qimu Bow to attack, Xu Yang would be severely damaged.
It can be said that Dong Hongyan is the best at suppressing skills among the seven peak masters of Yudao Sect. The cooperation between Zhan Yunfei and Dong Hongyan increased their combat power several times.
...
Ten miles outside Fang City.
Zhan Yunfei and Dong Hongyan chased south along the road leaving Fangshi.
Zhan Yunfei used the ice escape technique, white robe flying snow, very fast.
Dong Hongyan used her unique sound escape technique. Every time her toes landed on the ground, a circle of yellow light spread out, emitting a beautiful sound like plucking strings. The yellow skirt controls the wind, and the speed is as fast as Zhan Yunfei.
If another stick of incense had passed, the two of them would probably catch up with Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi.
"We have a chance to stop Xu Yang before he enters the Ten Thousand Realms Forest. The terrain in the Ten Thousand Realms Forest is complicated, so it is difficult to find where they are going." Zhan Yunfei said in a message.
"Be careful, there is someone ahead." Dong Hongyan, who was traveling, suddenly issued a warning.
