In the next few days, Liu Yu seemed to be in a hurry. First, he went to Shungui Pavilion at the foot of the mountain to register his whereabouts, indicating that he would go down the mountain to serve in the secular world.
Disciples of Huang Sheng Sect cannot leave Huang Sheng Mountain at will. Disciples who leave for a long time must register the reason at Shungui Pavilion. Disciples who go down the mountain without authorization will be severely punished and may even be expelled from the sect.
Then he went to say goodbye to his master Tang Hao. Tang Hao warned Liu Yu again not to be discouraged and to practice with concentration. As the saying goes: "God rewards hard work," and those who practice Taoism must work hard at all times.
Then the most important thing is to go to the Wanfa Pavilion on the main peak to copy the sixth and seventh levels of "Huangmu Peiyuan Gong" to practice the skills. If Liu Yuhao breaks through the cultivation level in the secular world, he will continue to practice.
Delay in practice.
Originally, according to regulations, only the sixth-level exercises could be copied, but because the task of the sect that Liu Yu accepted was special and took too long, they were allowed to copy the seventh-level exercises. After finishing these important tasks, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
, you can always be ready to go down the mountain and experience the secular world.
"Hey! Master, what should we do? Just now, Deji Pharmacy sent someone to inquire again." The woman in mourning clothes sitting on the birch chair frowned and looked at the middle-aged man who was wandering in the hall.
said.
Liu Qing did not answer his wife's words. Shopkeeper Zhang of Deji Pharmaceutical Store had questioned him face to face several times, but he could only speak vaguely and keep pushing back.
What happened in these days left Liu Qing at a loss, and it is still hard to believe it. Just a few days ago, news came that the eldest brother and the second brother were attacked by bandits when they were out as escorts, and several of their nephews died tragically.
At first, Liu Qing believed that this was a rumor. His eldest brother, Liu Xiao, had advanced internal skills and had become one of the first-class masters. He was known as the "Thunderbolt Tiger" in the world and was a master of stunts who was extremely powerful and had few rivals.
The second brother Liu Jie also has extraordinary skills and has become one of the first-class masters. He is so good at using a broken jade spear that he is known as the "Thousand Army Tigers" in the world. In addition, there are many escorts accompanying him, all of whom are experienced.
Elite people.
It is common for escorts to be attacked by bandits when they are out, but there are few casualties. The escort who escaped soon after personally confirmed that the news was not a rumor. When Liu Qing heard what the escort said, his mind went blank and he could not reply for a long time.
god.
According to the escort who escaped back, everyone from Liuyun Escort escorted the goods and left Jiuzheng County without incident in the past few days. However, when passing through Mahu Mountain, they were ambushed by a group of bandits known as Black Tiger Village.
At first, this group of bandits did not get any advantage, but suffered heavy casualties. Everyone in the Liuyun Escort Bureau did not panic and formed a formation. The chief escort Liu Xiao and the second escort Liu Jie held the formation and stood in front of the formation. Black Tiger
The stronghold could not break through the formation at all, and there were many casualties.
But not long after, a swordsman in white came out with a long sword in one hand. He wore a dark mask on his face and carried a long cylindrical weapon covered with linen on his back. It was half a man tall and very strange.
The swordsmanship of this strange swordsman was so fast that it dazzled people, and there was no way to parry. The two brothers Liu Xiao were repeatedly injured in their hands, and finally died tragically at the hands of this man. This strange swordsman's martial arts had obviously entered the innate realm and was completely natural.
But I don't know why he fell into the trap and became a bandit. With his unique skills, if he served the court, he would be a high-ranking official and receive a generous salary.
Liuyun Escort Bureau is well-known in Jiuzheng County and has a long-lasting reputation. It has been established for more than 200 years. There are many experts in the Escort Bureau, and there has never been a loss of escort goods in these decades.
Mr. Liu, the former chief bodyguard of Liuyun Escort Bureau, died of illness three years ago, so he was taken over by the three tigers of the Liu family. Mr. Liu's name is Liu Li, and he has three sons, namely Liu Xiao, Liu Jie, and Liu Qing.
These three sons were famous in the world when they were young. People in the world called them the "Nine Righteous Three Tigers". Mr. Liu was even more famous in the world, and he had already entered the ranks of innate masters. A Qinglong Spear wielded by
It was shocking and frightened countless people.
The Liuyun Escort Agency was opened by the Liu Yu family and was passed down from generation to generation. The originally bustling and prosperous backyard of the Escort Agency was now in a bleak state, with few people walking around in the courtyard. The doors and windows were decorated with white strips of cloth.
People also wore white plain clothes, walked with their heads lowered, and did not dare to make any noise.
"Master, let's have a drink of tea!" The woman in filial piety is Liu Qing's wife, her surname is Ai and her given name is Xiaolan. She married into the Liu family when she was eighteen years old and has spent thirty years in the Liu family.
"Madam, go take a rest first! You have worked hard these days." Liu Qing took the tea handed over by his wife and said softly.
"Master, I'll stay with you here! This time I lost the goods from Deji Pharmacy. How much money should I pay to Boss Zhang?" the woman asked with a tired and worried look on her face.
"Madam, the escort goods this time are too valuable and I can't afford to pay for them! If we can't find them back, we have to pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the escort agency will be doomed." Liu Qing told his wife about his worries.
Jiuzheng County is located in a remote area and the people are poor, but there is an extremely precious medicinal herb called Piaocheng herb growing in the mountains.
This herb can emit bursts of fragrance and can be made into special spices. This spice is deeply loved by high-ranking officials and nobles. There are many herb collectors in Jiuzheng County who make a living by collecting the herb.
The cargo shipped by Liuyun Escort this time was a large amount of vanilla. These herbs were entrusted by Deji Medicine Store to Liuyun Escort and shipped to the capital of Yue Kingdom. In fact, such an escort happens once a year, and every time Liuyun Escort
If everything is successfully completed, the escort agency will also receive a large commission.
"Master, can't my family afford so much money? Otherwise, I will go back to my parents' house to borrow some money." The woman was very frightened when she heard that she had to pay so much money.
"Madam, you don't have to worry about the money. You can still take it out at home. But if this is the case, your family's expenses will be very tight in the future." Liu Qing still had something to say, fearing that his wife would be worried. Liuyun Escort Bureau would not be able to recover the goods this time.
, credibility will be seriously damaged.
For a long time, merchants in the county will not ask Liuyun Escort Bureau to hire escorts. After all, there are more than just Liuyun Escort Bureaus in the county. By then, Liuyun Escort Bureau will exist in name only, and the Liu family will no longer have a trace of their lives.
, life will become very difficult in the future.
There were cries and noises from the courtyard. Liu Qing and his wife stood up and walked out to see what was going on. Before they took a few steps, a group of women poured in at the door. They were Liu Qing's sister-in-law's family.
There was also the second sister-in-law and her family, all with red eyes.
"Third uncle, you have to avenge your elder brother!" Mrs. Wang, wife of Liu Qing's eldest brother, came into the room and cried. Mrs. Wang is now in her fifties, with a head full of silver, and her three biological children are supporting her.
daughter.
"Third uncle, your eldest brother and second brother cannot die without knowing anything. Now that you are the only one who can make the decision in the family, you must avenge them!" Mrs. Song, the wife of Liu Qing's second brother, also said with tears in her eyes.
Ms. Song is now in her early fifties and already looking old. Her two daughters are also surrounding her.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, please sit down and talk." Liu Qing hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
"Yes! Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, sit down and talk slowly." Liu Qing's wife also advised.
"Third uncle, your eldest brother died so miserably! You must avenge him." Wang suddenly broke away from the support of everyone and knelt on the ground.
"Sister-in-law, get up quickly, I will definitely avenge my brother." Liu Qing quickly helped Wang up and helped her sit on the chair.
A group of women in the main hall became more and more sad as they chatted, and they all burst into tears. Liu Qing could not persuade her, and she could not help crying.
