When the guard heard about Xiyoumen, his face suddenly became flattering: "It turns out that the master of Xiyoumen has arrived. Please wait a moment, I will go and inform the master of the family."
After the guard finished speaking, he ran in. Zhou Xing and the other two were not in a hurry and waited outside the door. After a while, a rough-looking man rushed over with the guard.
"Masters of Xiyoumen, you are making it easy for me to wait!"
The man greeted him warmly before he even got close. Fatty Jiang asked with a puzzled look on his face: "We are the disciples who took over your escort mission. This is our token!"
When the man saw Fatty Jiang taking out a black token with the word "Xi You" engraved on it with a proud look on his face, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This scene was even seen by Zhou Xing next to him.
"Hahaha... I am the head of the Li family, and my name is Li Hu. May I ask what your surname is?"
"My name is Fatty Jiang, and this guy next to me is my brother, his name is Zhou Xing."
Fatty Jiang casually introduced the two of them, and Li Hu took one look at Zhou Xing, who was only at the eighth level of the body training realm, and didn't care. He guessed that Zhou Xing must be Fatty Jiang's follower, but Fatty Jiang deliberately said he was his brother.
Zhou Xingze had been sizing up the head of the Li family, and he found that Li Hu seemed to be paying too much attention to Fatty Jiang's identity token.
Xiyoumen's identity token is a spiritual weapon, but the disciples have different levels, and the token levels are also different. The tokens of the core disciples, elders, and sect masters also have different auxiliary functions.
The outer disciples' tokens are black, the inner disciples' tokens are blue, the core disciples' tokens are purple, the elders' tokens are silver, and the gate master's tokens are gold, which are the same as the stripes on their robes.
"You two adults, please come in!" Li Hu warmly invited them both into Li's house.
After Zhou Xing and others entered the Li family, they found that there were relatively few servants in the Li family and not many Li family members. It seemed as if they had all left.
"Master Li, why are there so few people in your family? Where have all those people gone?" Zhou Xing suddenly asked.
After Li Hu lowered his head, a glint flashed in his eyes. Then he raised his head and replied with a bitter look: "Master Zhou, it's like this. Our family makes a living by selling medicinal materials, but recently the medicine fields around us have been raided by bandits.
It was destroyed, so we want to move the family to Qingsong City, where there is a bodyguard agency run by my third brother, so we can take care of each other."
"Why don't you invite people to exterminate the bandits?"
"The bandits are powerful and they are familiar with the mountain terrain. Unless we send out a large number of troops or hire powerful experts, the price of both is something we cannot afford!"
"Our family has almost evacuated. Only my second brother and I are carrying the last few valuables, so we want to ask the disciples of Xiyoumen to escort us across the Langya Mountains. I think with your status, they will not dare to
Plunder us again.”
Li Hu talked about their experience with runny nose and tears, and the fat man also showed sympathy when he heard it. Only Zhou Xingzong felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
When Li Hu and Zhou Xing walked to the living room of Li's house, a handsome middle-aged man came up to them.
"Brother, has the master of Xiyoumen arrived?"
"Second brother, these two are the masters of Xiyoumen, this is Master Zhou Xing, and this is Master Jiang...Jiang."
"Two adults, this is my second brother Li Bao."
Li Hu introduced both parties, and as they spoke, they sat down in the living room, and some servants hurriedly served tea.
"Two adults, I have to rely on you this time. After we finish handling the matter today, we will set off early tomorrow morning. If you need anything, just ask the two adults. I will do my best to satisfy you."
"Yes, sir, the rooms, wine and food have been prepared for you. If you need anything, just give me your orders."
Li Hu and Li Bao greeted Zhou Xing and Zhou Xing with enthusiasm and respect. Fatty Jiang was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear when he heard this.
After the four people chatted again, Li Hu invited Zhou Xing and the two to rest. Zhou Xing and the two had been traveling for more than two hours and were indeed a little tired, so they did not refuse.
"Brother..."
"Don't worry, it's just one level 2 spirit gathering realm and one level 8 body forging realm, no problem!" After Zhou Xing and the others went down, Li Bao looked at Li Hu, who nodded with a dark smile.
"As long as things go well tomorrow, our Li family can take another step forward. Then you and I, the three brothers, will no longer have to live such a humble life, hahaha..."
Zhou Xing and Fatty Jiang followed the servant who led the way to a beautiful and quiet courtyard.
"Two adults, this is right here. If you need anything, please ask me." The servant walked to the door of the small courtyard and pointed at the small courtyard and said.
"Okay, we need to take a rest first, you can go down."
"yes!"
After Zhou Xing dismissed the servants, he and Fatty Jiang walked into the courtyard together. Fatty Jiang looked around excitedly, as if it was his first time out of the sect, while Zhou Xingze sat in his seat and pondered something.
"Brother, are you..."
Finally, Fatty Jiang became more excited. He looked at what Zhou Xing was thinking. When he was about to ask, Zhou Xing raised his hand to stop him, and Zhou Xing pointed at the wall and his ears.
The smile on Fatty Jiang's face immediately disappeared when he saw this, but Zhou Xing suddenly smiled and said, "Fatboy, since you are so interested, why don't we go out for a drink! It's too quiet here and it's boring."
Fatty Jiang also laughed again when he heard this: "Okay! Then let's go out for a drink."
The two of them chatted and laughed and came to the entrance of the courtyard. The servant who had just led the way suddenly arrived: "I wonder where you two adults are going? Let me lead the way for you!"
"No, we're just going to Mo City to take a walk and have some drinks. It's too quiet here for us to sit still."
"yes……"
In the living room of the Li family, while Li Hu was still discussing something with Li Bao, the servant who had just entertained Zhou Xing and his wife suddenly came to report on their movements.
"Oh! Are they really going to drink?" Li Hu said thoughtfully.
Li Bao didn't care so much: "Brother, don't worry, everything we do is very secretive. They can't find anything in just one afternoon."
Li Hu thought about it. It was the first time for Zhou Xing and his two people to come here, and they didn't know anyone. Moreover, they had a mission to cover up. Who could discover their true purpose?
Zhou Xing took Fatty Jiang to a larger restaurant. Fatty thought he wanted a private room to plan something! Who knew that Zhou Xing found a small table in the noisy hall and ordered some wine?
and appetizers.
"Brother, what are you..."
Zhou Xing looked at him with a puzzled look on his face and joked: "How dare you come to take on such a task like this? I'm afraid you won't even know where the body is by then."
"Uh, brother, is it so serious?" Fatty Jiang thought Zhou Xing was making a fuss out of a molehill.
However, Zhou Xing didn't say anything else. He just shook his head and focused on eating. Fatty Jiang couldn't ask any more questions.
"I heard that the Li family's medicine field was destroyed by bandits and they are moving away."
"Really? Didn't it mean that the best medicinal fields of the Li family have been saved? Why do they still want to leave?"
"Stop talking, it's not like you don't know the temperaments of the three brothers of the Li family. If anyone dares to offend them, they will go crazy regardless of the rules. But this time they actually got cold feet. It's strange..."
Zhou Xing listened to the constant chatter in his ears, and he carefully searched for information about the Li family. They sat in the restaurant for a long time, and Zhou Xing finally took the fat man away.
But this time the two of them came to the private room of the restaurant, and Zhou Xing ordered some delicious food before sitting down. As soon as the food was served, Fatty Jiang started to eat with great enthusiasm.
"You are such a foodie, aren't you worried that not only will this mission not be completed, but our lives may be in danger?" Zhou Xing looked at Fatty Jiang and said speechlessly.
"Ahem..."
When Fatty Jiang heard this, he coughed up his rice before he could even swallow it.
"Brother, you are not lying to me. Who would covet our lives?"
"Fat man, there is a problem with this mission. Although I don't know what the Li family is going to do, it is by no means as simple as an escort mission." Zhou Xing had a puzzled expression on his face.
"Although that Li Hu looks rough, he has a deep mind. He and the man named Li Bao are both at the first level of the Soul Gathering Realm. You must be careful during the escort tomorrow, otherwise we don't know how we died."
Fatty Jiang listened to Zhou Xing's analysis with a very ugly look on his face: "Humph! If they dare to plot against Fatty, I will never spare them."
"Anyway, we will act according to the situation tomorrow, please be careful..."
Zhou Xing and the two went back after eating. Before taking a break, Li Hu came to greet Zhou Xing and the two again. He was very respectful even to Zhou Xing, a boy who was at the eighth level of physical training.
In the end, Zhou Xing didn't think about anything anymore. As long as he paid attention to the two people at the first level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, plus Fatty Jiang, he had nothing to fear.
The next morning, Li Hu and Li Bao came to see Zhou Xing after they had breakfast, saying that they were going to set off immediately and try to reach Qingsong City before dark.
So Zhou Xing and his two men rode blood-scaled horses and escorted the Li family's motorcade and set off. Apart from Zhou Xing and the Li family's brothers, there were only six servants escorting three carriages in the entire motorcade.
A group of people are heading towards Qingsong City, and they will pass through the Langya Mountains, a small mountain range. I heard that the most dangerous thing in the Langya Mountains is a group of green wolves. They are usually led by a second-level green wolf. There are many
First-level green wolves form wolf packs.
At three o'clock in the morning, the group finally entered the Langya Mountains. Zhou Xing was wary of the Li brothers all the way, but both of them looked downcast and submissive.
It wasn't until he entered the Langya Mountains that Zhou Xing saw a look of surprise mixed with anxiety in the eyes of the Li brothers.
"Two adults, you see we are already halfway through the journey. It will be safe after we cross the Langya Mountains. How about we take a rest and wait for the horses to recover a little strength, otherwise we will have no energy left in case of danger."
When they reached nearly one-third of the way into the Langya Mountains, Li Hu suddenly came to Fatty Jiang and whispered softly. Fatty Jiang saw Zhou Xing's vague nod from the corner of his eye, and he agreed.
The group of people found a shady place to dismount and rest. The servants also began to drink water and repair themselves. Li Bao came over with four wine bottles.
"Two adults, thank you for your escort. It will be done soon. Let's toast you." With that, Li Bao divided the four wine bottles.
After Zhou Xing opened the wine pot, a burst of wine aroma filled the air, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"So I was waiting here..."
"Two adults, this is a good wine that our Li family has been collecting for a long time! Please drink some quickly to quench your thirst."
Li Bao saw that after Zhou Xing opened the jug, the aroma of wine overflowed. When Fatty Jiang smelled it and seemed a little eager, he happily introduced the wine to the side.
Zhou Xing nodded with a smile on his face: "Well, it is indeed a rare wine!"
Just when Fatty Jiang was about to drink the wine brought by the Li brothers, Zhou Xing suddenly grabbed Fatty Jiang's hand. The Li brothers next to him saw this scene and their eyes changed.
"Well, what's wrong, brother?" Fatty Jiang turned his head and asked Zhou Xing without knowing.
Zhou Xing observed the Li brothers from the corner of his eye, but he said with a smile on his face: "Hey! The wine given by the Li family is so delicious, it is a pity that there are no dishes to go with the wine. Why don't we go get some game to add to the dishes!"
"Haha... You two adults, we have brought some good beef jerky and don't go hunting for game anymore. Second brother, go get some for the two adults to drink with."
The Li brothers, who were a little nervous at first, relaxed after hearing Zhou Xing's words. Li Hu quickly asked Li Bao to get some beef.
"That's right, good wine needs to be added with some good food to make it interesting to drink!" Zhou Xing said with a smile to Fatty Jiang again. He also stressed the word "add some good food", and the look in Fatty Jiang's eyes changed.
, but he reacted immediately.
"Haha...brother is right, we almost wasted such a fine wine. Mr. Li, don't you think so?"
"It's...it's the negligence of the little people. Thank you two adults!" Li Hu said respectfully to Fatty Jiang.
Zhou Xing walked up to Fatty Jiang at this time, patted Fatty Jiang on the shoulder with his right hand, and said again: "Fatty, when we complete this mission, we must ask the head of the Li family for some of this fine wine, otherwise we will want to drink it next time.
I don’t know when this delicious wine will be available!”
When Zhou Xing put his right hand on Fatty Jiang's shoulder, a glint flashed in Fatty Jiang's eyes, but he didn't show anything: "Yes! I must ask the head of the Li family for some when the time comes, or I can take it back to my brothers.
Let’s have a taste.”
Li Hu kept nodding in agreement after hearing this, but he was secretly mocking in his heart: "Then we have to make sure you can go back alive!"
"Here you two adults, brother, with the good beef jerky and this wine, we will definitely have a good time." Li Bao ran over with two packages of beef jerky wrapped in yellow square paper.
After a few people finished it, the Li brothers greeted them warmly: "Come, thank you two adults for escorting me, and please enjoy it."
"Okay, come, let's drink together!"
Zhou Xing also boldly picked up the beef jerky and the wine bottle and started to drink heavily. When Fatty Jiang saw it, he also smiled and started to feast.
"Haha...what a drink!"
"Yes, Master Li, why don't you drink?"
"Hahaha...Okay, let's drink too and have fun together..."
The two Li brothers watched Zhou Xing and Fatty Jiang drink heavily, their eyes filled with surprise, and they both drank happily.
After the four people pushed cups and changed cups, the Li brothers looked at each other. Li Hu suddenly raised his hands to Zhou Xing and the others and said, "You two adults have finished drinking. Is there anything wrong with you?"
