"Every friend here is here because you have accepted the task of escorting the three heroes. I have brought everyone together today just to let you get acquainted with each other. Then you can also have someone to take care of you on the way.
Complete this mission successfully. If you have any suggestions, you can also put them forward for detailed reference."
Xiao Feng did not hesitate, and straightforwardly stated the purpose of today's gathering. "Xiao Feng, I am also the leader of this mission, and will set off with you all."
"These two are brothers, Xu Chao and Xu Yue. They have the same mind and are good at joining forces to attack." Xiao Feng then pointed to a pair of young men with similar faces on his left and introduced them openly.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them stood up at the same time and clasped their fists at the others.
"This is the poisonous scorpion king Jiang Tieshan, who is good at using various poisons." Sun Huo suddenly felt a chill in his heart, because Xiao Feng was introducing the tall, thin man with a scarred face this time.
But when he saw him, he didn't get up. He just nodded arrogantly and didn't even look at the others.
Xiao Feng frowned and quickly jumped to the next person without saying more. "This is"
"Liu Hongcui, I've met you all. I know a little about swordsmanship, so please don't be too burdensome." The first woman with an ordinary face on the right stood up and gave a salute, her voice was very clear.
Xiao Feng was not angry at being robbed of his words. He laughed and said: "Mrs. Liu, you are too polite. Your Piao Liu swordsmanship is still extraordinary."
Hearing these words, the woman smiled slightly and said nothing more.
"This old Mr. Bai has a superb hand with cotton bone palm. And this brother Sun Huo,..." Xiao Feng stopped talking. He suddenly realized that he had forgotten to ask about Sun Huo's martial arts skills.
.
Sun Huo immediately stood up, clasped his fists with a smile and said: "I, Sun Huo, only have a little strength, I don't dare to compare with you."
It's just that the people present were so discerning that they could see right away that Sun Huo's words were just modest words. In fact, he didn't want to reveal his origins at all.
After all, Sun Huo's thick palms and high bulging temples are clearly visible to everyone, indicating that he is also a martial arts expert.
Even if they deliberately concealed it, no one except Jiang Tieshan wanted to make enemies out of thin air, and all expressed their intentions with smiles.
Before Xiao Feng could say anything else, Jiang Tieshan suddenly stood up and said, "I have some important matters to deal with, so I won't accompany you. Just let me know when you set off tomorrow." After saying this, he walked out without looking back.
The hall.
Seeing this scene, the six people present looked at each other.
Xiao Feng forced a smile and quickly stood up to smooth things over. After a long time, everyone dispersed after talking happily.
Sun Huo originally planned to go back to the wing where he was staying. Halfway through, he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and walked through the courtyards and walked out of the guest house. It was not until evening that he returned to his room carrying a package.
.
The next day, after everyone gathered together, they all left Ke Laixuan and rushed to the city gate.
At this time, Sun Huo had changed into a gray coarse cloth, and his originally disheveled hair was tied up with a piece of cloth, making him look relatively inconspicuous.
But behind him, he still carried a long cloth bag that was as tall as a person, with a package hanging on it, which looked a bit nondescript and weird. But everyone chose to turn a blind eye and did not come to inquire what was inside.
Sun Huo is used to this situation. After all, he cannot put away his giant sword and can only walk around with it on his back.
The city gate was already bustling with people. A large number of guards were busy maintaining order.
On one side, seven high-top carriages were quietly lined up in a row, being closely guarded.
After Xiao Feng showed a token to the guards, someone immediately took them to a shop not far away.
Just inside the shop, Sun Huo saw four middle-aged men with extraordinary bearing, who should obviously be the heads of the four major families.
After some pleasantries, one of them tapped twice, and suddenly a boy came in from outside carrying a wooden tray.
Xiao Feng and the other seven people all looked over, only to see that there was only a small white jade bottle on the wooden plate, and nothing else. The place became quiet for a while.
"This escort mission is of great importance. In addition to the valuables enshrined in the Xian family, there are also future immortal masters. We in Xianlai City need you to give a guarantee that you will not abandon your interests or do nothing.
So please take the pills in the bottle to show your sincerity."
As soon as these words came out, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. Everyone obviously did not expect that there would be such an arrangement as they were about to set off.
"Of course, as compensation, after the event is completed, each person will receive five hundred taels in addition to the original remuneration." The middle-aged man in blue brocade clothes added slowly.
"Okay, okay." Sun Huo, who rarely made a sound and was chewing something in his mouth, walked out carelessly. He reached out and picked up the bottle and poured out a black broad bean-sized pill.
, and threw it into his mouth without looking at it.
He chewed the food in his mouth a few times, swallowed it in one go, and then continued to smack his lips.
Although the four middle-aged men were a little surprised by Sun Huo's actions, their eyes were quite satisfied. In contrast, the other six people in the escort team all cursed Sun Huo as an idiot in their hearts.
After several people looked at each other, Xiao Feng walked out bravely. "The concerns of the sect leaders are not unreasonable, but these friends also have the same worries. If the promise is broken later, wouldn't they have to sit back and wait for death?
Just let it be.”
After hearing this, Sun Huo, who looked relaxed, seemed to have suddenly realized it, and became a little embarrassed to look at it.
"In your opinion, what should we do?" Another middle-aged man in a white long coat spoke calmly as if he had expected it.

The venue fell silent again. After a while, Jiang Tieshan came out and said quietly: "If you can trust me, please take the secret medicine specially made by me, and we will come back and exchange it with each other."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man who just asked the question smiled and shook his head, "Well, I'll let Quanzi go with you, which can be regarded as an experience. Then you can send him back intact and make an exchange. How about that?
?"
After everyone put it all together, they felt that they couldn't find a better way to maintain trust between the two parties, so they could only reluctantly agree.
Seeing that the two parties had reached an agreement, the middle-aged man in a white coat shouted loudly: "Yun'er, come in." A handsome young man walked into the house with a parcel on his back and a small cloth bag in his hand.
Come, give Sun Huo and others a deep bow.
"This is the dog Liu Yun, please take care of me."
Not daring to be too negligent, several people quickly responded with fists clasped, obviously the other party was well prepared.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Feng took the lead and took the pills in the bottle first, followed by several others.
"May I ask if there is any taboo about this thing, so that we don't accidentally violate it." Xiao Feng spoke on behalf of the others.
"Don't worry, I will tell you this even if I don't ask. This is Liangxun Powder. It is not a poison, but a secret poison made by the immortal family. As the name suggests, after taking this secret poison, you will not have any symptoms within twenty days.
Any discomfort or abnormality. But if you don’t get the antidote beyond this time, your whole person will experience heart-piercing pain until you die of pain." Another middle-aged man in blue shirt calmly explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, even Jiang Tieshan was no exception. The next moment, the last middle-aged man in a yellow scholar's shirt also spoke, "To show sincerity, the remuneration agreed before can be paid now.
I’ll pay it to you.”
The young man named Liu Yun immediately stepped forward, opened the small cloth bag in his hand, and distributed the contents to Xiao Feng and others one by one.
Seeing that the reward had been received, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's getting late, let's go out together!" Seeing that the matter has been settled, the middle-aged man in blue at the beginning began to greet everyone and prepare to set off.
