Shen Xiu was quite surprised when he saw the eldest son of the Yun family appearing at the entrance of the courtyard. In the past, monthly salary payments were delivered by the steward of the Yun family, but it was the young master of the Yun family who would personally deliver them.
Jin Chengzhi, dressed in brocade clothes, walked into the courtyard with a smile, took out a stack of envelopes from his arms, and handed them to Shen Xiu. They were obviously last month's salary.
Shen Xiu took it and opened it, only to find that there was an extra thousand taels of silver. He immediately looked at Yun Chengzhi opposite him with puzzled eyes.
But at this moment, Yun Chengzhi smiled, clasped his fists, and said, "First of all, congratulations to Brother Shen Xiu for your further advancement. These salary bills will now help Brother Shen improve a bit, and he will receive the same treatment as the five-level martial arts cultivators in the mansion."< /p>
Yun Chengzhi's behavior made Shen Xiu somewhat fond of him, so he also clasped his fists and showed politeness.
At this time, Yun Chengzhi smiled politely, thought for a while and then said: "Now my Yun family has something that I need Brother Shen's help with!"
"What's going on? Brother Yun, just tell me!"
The Young Master of the Yun family came in person this time, obviously not just to give a salary. Shen Xiu had already expected it, so he was not surprised to hear this.
"Last month, demons besieged the city and the situation was chaotic. My Yun family also lost contact with some shops in the outside world. Since the demons retreated, the trade routes have been restored and we have reconnected. There is only one pharmacy in Feng'an Town, but there is still no movement. ..."
Yun Chengzhi's brows tightened, his face full of sadness.
The Yun family operates more than a dozen pharmacies in Heyang County, with extensive investment. Some pharmacies are top priority and have special significance.
Feng'an Town is close to Pingchang City. It was originally intended to be an outpost to enter the Pingchang City market, so the investment was naturally huge. If this was lost, it would be enough to cause serious damage to the Yun family.
"So you want me to go take a look?"
Yun Chengzhi nodded: "Yes, I think Brother Shen will go there this time. He has already sent two second-level experts before, but they are all silent, as if they have disappeared from the world."
"Okay, then I'll go take a look."
Since you have earned your royal salary, you should do your best as a king. After taking so much money, you naturally have to do something.
Chen Xiu is a five-level martial arts cultivator who has been in the limelight in Shanglin City recently. His cultivation strength has been verified by countless people. With him taking action, the problem will be easier to solve.
Yun Chengzhi immediately told the Feng'an Town pharmacy he went to this time, the location of the pharmacy, and the contact person, although the contact person was probably gone.
The next day after receiving this information, Shen Xiu set off all the way to the west, heading for the main road to Pingchang.
Feng'an Town is located between Pingchang City and Shanglin, and the terrain is good.
It has to be said that the impact of the demon spillover from Xiaoyao Mountain was quite large. Near Shanglin City, Shen Xiu passed by several villages and found that they all suffered heavy losses due to this impact.
Some villages even lost their chickens and dogs and were completely destroyed.
Since Shanglin moved ten miles away, the situation has become better.
It's just that there are always some places and some unexpected situations. Even if there are no monsters, there will be others.
Among the lofty mountains, there is a high-sloping official road.
There are two wooden fences to prevent horses, which is obviously an artificial barrier.
The people who set up the gate were a dozen tough and gangster-wielding men with knives. At some point they intercepted a bunch of caravans who wanted to pass through, sharpening their knives.
At this moment, the surrounding air exudes a strong smell of blood.
On the ground behind, you can see several lifeless corpses lying on the ground. It was obvious that they resisted to no avail and were decisively killed by him.
When the stopped caravan saw the miserable state of its predecessors, their hearts suddenly trembled, and they couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts.
At this moment, there was a person in charge in the caravan who stood up and stepped forward while remaining calm.
With a slightly trembling wrist, he took out a few banknotes from his arms and handed them to the obvious person in charge, the man with the nine-ringed sword at the head.
"I understand the rules on the road, please explain..." Although the middle-aged man was afraid, he still managed a smile on his face.
The man holding the Jiuhuanda Dao raised his eyes and gave the middle-aged man a scornful look. He swiped the banknotes from the man's hand with one hand and then counted them with a cruel smile on his face.
"That's it... Is this how you tempt us brothers? None of us brothers can resist such temptation..."
Hear this.
The knife-wielding men around him burst into laughter.
Several people immediately stepped forward and took off the middle-aged man's clothes, took out the remaining banknotes, and at the same time moved the goods away and piled them together.
The middle-aged man looked bitter, staggered on his feet, and murmured with a trembling mouth, "This is against the rules, this is against the rules..."
A man passing by laughed jokingly when he heard this and said, "It's your grandma's rule."
Then he ignored the lost man and directed a few people to gather the remaining members of the caravan and the scattered people at the rear.
His eyes searched like hawks, and then he picked out two or three people and walked to the roadside.
After that, these people were allowed to leave one by one.
At this moment, Shen Xiu was also among the scattered people in the crowd behind him, looking at these with quite surprised eyes.
Among these martial arts practitioners who observe breath and blood, the best ones are probably at the first or second realm.
Only the man at the head, who can withstand the nine-ring sword on his shoulder, has the best cultivation, probably among the three realms.
But just these things didn't surprise Shen Xiu. What surprised him was that the few people chosen by the robbers to stay behind were all handsome young people.
"Is this weird?"
After taking a look at the tough-looking robbers, Shen Xiu had some doubts.
Looking at the ruthless man, it is obvious that he is not a compassionate person, and he would let those people leave like this.
"Hey, I'm calling you. If you don't want to die, stand over there!"
A rough and arrogant voice brought Shen Xiu back from his thoughts. Shen Xiu turned around and looked, but it was a man with a scar on the left side of his face. He bared his big yellow teeth and yelled curses.
The sharp knife in his hand was still shaking in front of him.
Now that he is so harmless to humans and animals, even a second-level martial artist is blatantly trying to find his head.
After thinking about the Five Realms, my aura was so restrained that it would be difficult for others to detect it without using force. It is absolutely normal for something like this to happen.
"Where are those people going?"
Shen Xiu was about to have an attack, and suddenly thought of buying supplementary medicine some time ago, and he had some empty pockets, so he asked immediately.
The boldness of this question made the robber laugh uncontrollably.
"Where else can we go? Of course we should go to our village to enjoy the blessings!"
The man with the scar on the left side of his face said hey, and then laughed very strangely. The dozen strong robbers next to him also laughed when they heard this.
