Qin Xiao was counting beside him, and after the iron cow slapped him thirty times, he stood up and shouted: "Okay! Forget it, aren't you here to hand over the task? Where are the things?"
"The thing... oh, the thing is at Young Master's place!" Tieniu said quickly.
Originally, he thought that the Moon Martial Arts School was a new force on the list. He had never heard of it before, so it might be unreliable... He didn't expect that the other party would be a ruthless person!
Although he suffered pain and injuries, he felt more relieved.
With such strength, I can definitely protect the young master's safety.
"Take us there!" Qin Xiao stretched out his hand towards him, making a gesture of invitation.
Tieniu led the way, and everyone soon arrived at the outer city of Huayin City, which was outside a row of houses beside the moat.
Along the way, Lu Xiaoyue was a little strange: Why was such an important task handed over in an outer city?
Qin Xiao and others were also very surprised. Logically speaking, the task handover should be at Baixiao Tower. After all, they would only admit that the task was valid after the handover was completed under the witness of Baixiao Tower.
"Hey, that big man! Where is your young master? Why did you bring us to the outer city?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but raise his doubts.
"Uh..." Tieniu stopped, turned around, and said with a wry smile: "My young master doesn't like living in the inner city, so..."
What the hell? Is there anyone who doesn’t like living in the inner city of Huayin City?
Lu Xiaoyue looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but compare it with the inner city. It was completely different!
Although there is not much difference between the inner and outer cities in terms of greening, the beauty of the scenery, the order of the streets, the cleanliness of the environment, etc., the inner city surpasses the outer city by more than ten streets!
With such a gap, there are still people who don't like the inner city and must live in the outer city?
It’s not like the wooden stick said, your brain is flooded!
Just as they were thinking, everyone finally came to a house.
The house is not big. It has only one door and no windows. It looks low and shabby. It doesn't look like a place where a noble man lives.
Tieniu took the lead and pushed open the door.
Lu Xiaoyue glanced around and walked in, followed by Qin Xiao and Li Muhong, leaving Chen Zhen and Liu Xiyun in charge of guarding.
In the room, Lu Xiaoyue finally met the person responsible for this mission.
"Sir, the person to take over the mission is here!" Tieniu bowed his body and said to a figure lying on the bed.
Is this the young master? Lu Xiaoyue didn't dare to open her eyes...
The person in front of me was half-lying on the bed, his whole body wrapped in white cloth, thick layer after layer, and a little bright red blood could be seen on it. It looked like he was seriously injured.
Judging from the way he was half-lying, I'm afraid he couldn't move his legs or feet...
This is a real patient!
Lu Xiaoyue observed the other party, and the other party also looked at her.
After a long time, the young man finally said: "I have the medicinal materials you want to transport...but I can't give it to you directly, so this task is actually to escort me to the capital." He said, covering his head.
He closed his mouth and his voice sounded a little hoarse.
After a while, he couldn't help coughing a few times, and then said: "Ahem, this is the content of the mission. You can choose to accept it or not..."
After hearing the content of this mission, Lu Xiaoyue and others looked at each other, feeling like they had been cheated.
What about the delivery of valuable medicinal materials that we agreed to deliver?
How come you are escorting a living person? And not just a living person, but a seriously ill patient who needs to be bedridden!
"Can't you just lie down and recuperate and let us deliver the medicinal materials ourselves?" Qin Xiao couldn't help complaining in his heart.
Lu Xiaoyue curled her lips in displeasure and said, "Why can't you give us the medicinal materials? This mission says it is to transport medicinal materials, you are lying!"
"I'm sorry... I did lie to you." The young man smiled bitterly, struggled to sit up and said, "I have my own reasons... I hope you can understand."
Lu Xiaoyue pouted: "..."
Qin Xiao saw what his master meant, so he stood up and said: "Sorry... we can't understand! You have deceived you in the description of the task. We have the right to refuse this task!" After that, he turned and left.
Lu Xiaoyue said nothing, acquiescing to Qin Xiao's intention.
Just when everyone was about to leave, Tieniu suddenly rushed over, knelt down in front of Lu Xiaoyue, and kowtowed "bang bang bang".
"Master Lu, please! Please, accept this mission! The young master needs someone to escort you to the capital. He didn't mean to lie to you. He has his own reasons! Please!"
Tieniu's voice was filled with tears, and he kowtowed as he spoke, and blood soon oozed from his forehead.
Qin Xiao quickly supported him and would not let him continue knocking down no matter what.
Things like "kowtow and kneel" may cause physical pain to the person involved, but it is a moral threat to the person involved.
Qin Xiao didn't want his master to be threatened, and he didn't want to accept such a threat...
"No!" Tieniu didn't want to get up and wanted to push Qin Xiao away with his hands.
At this moment, Li Muhong said: "If you don't get up, we'll leave immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tie Niu quickly got up...
"Did you agree?" he asked with surprise.
At this moment, Jian Zhen muttered something to Lu Xiaoyue, and Lu Xiaoyue's eyes suddenly lit up and she walked straight in front of the young master's bed.
"Sister, just tell me if you have any difficulties... As long as we can help you, we will do our best to help!" Lu Xiaoyue said, gently putting her hand on the other person's shoulder.
"That young man" trembled all over, with a look of disbelief on his face. He couldn't believe that his identity had been revealed like this.
She was stunned for a while, then pulled up the quilt covering her body, trying to cover her head, and at the same time shouted: "I don't want your help! The mission has been cancelled, you go... you go quickly
!”
Her voice sounded extremely panicked, as if she was afraid of something.
Lu Xiaoyue and others looked at each other, wondering why?
Just now, Mu Guan told her that the young master was a girl, and that the injuries on his body were very serious, and his vitality was almost extinguished.
The difficulties she mentioned may be true!
After hearing this secret, Lu Xiaoyue decided to help the other party...but only if the other party revealed his difficulties.
The young master hid under the quilt and kept asking Lu Xiaoyue and the others to leave... There was nothing the three of them could do about this.
Tieniu himself was stunned, looked at the "young master" on the bed, gritted his teeth and said: "Master Lu, the matter of the young lady..."
"don't want!"
The "young master" suddenly opened the quilt and stopped loudly: "Don't say it! You can't say it! Even if I die here, I can't say it!"
