Chapter 75 First meeting
Xu Yuan has been in a good mood for the past two days.
One is because the first investment has paid off.
Miss Succubus has been working hard in her recent training, and the growth rate of his mind and soul is quite gratifying.
The second reason is that Xu Changge has arrived in Jiuyuan City this morning.
Yes, it is the Jiuyuan City that the elder brother mentioned when he threatened him before, a small satellite town next to Jingjiang Mansion, which is said to be only forty miles away from Jingjiang Mansion.
The previous casual threat from the other party was not groundless. It seemed that Jiuyuan City did have something to deal with.
It is said by the old aunt Lou Ji that there is a problem with a large "monster farm" in the deep mountains over there, which will affect the supply of some kind of soul medicine in the southwest.
certainly,
In addition to these appearances, what makes Xu Yuan more happy is the improvement of his own strength.
Since he used the bleeding mirror in actual combat that day, he seemed to have broken through some kind of bottleneck, and his actual combat strength was improving rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Now, although it still takes a long time to fight those eighth-rank pulse-tempering warriors, these warriors can hardly touch him now.
Of course, the cost of this style of play is that the consumption of Yuan Qi will increase rapidly.
Originally, Xu Yuan could fight these eighth-rank warriors for a whole morning in hand-to-hand combat, but now his energy will be exhausted after five or six rounds.
Come out from the attic in the middle of the lake.
While thinking about something, Xu Yuan suddenly noticed a group of people dressed as long-term workers standing on the edge of the lake in the wetland.
A little surprised.
This is the first time he has seen so many servants gathering by the lake, in the past, at most, one or two servants would trim and clean here.
Looking across and making eye contact, the servants lowered their heads in panic.
Just when Xu Yuan was about to forget about it, he suddenly met a pair of eyes.
“.”
The moment of contact, the eyes immediately lowered.
Xu Yuan glanced at the owner of the eyes in a strange way.
This is a strong young man in gray linen.
The face is very ordinary, the temperament is also very ordinary, and it is inconspicuous in the crowd.
But for some reason, Xu Yuan looked at him inexplicably feeling a little out of harmony.
Hesitating slightly, Xu Yuan stopped in his tracks.
The foreman next to him has been paying attention to the three young masters out of the corner of his eye. Eyesight is an essential skill for a small person like him to survive.
Seeing the other party stop, the foreman immediately walked over flatteringly, and rubbed his hands in a little awkward way:
"Hey, what's your order?"
Xu Yuan glanced at the servants and asked aloud:
"Why are these people here?"
Seeing this, the foreman cursed inwardly, and immediately waved his hands quietly at these newly recruited long-term workers, signaling to get out, and at the same time replied in a humble tone:
"These people are new servants and long-term workers in the mansion, and the younger one is now guiding them to familiarize themselves with the environment."
“.”
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
A new servant?
at this time?
How many days does it take from Changhong Valley to Jingjiang City?
His mood spread slightly, and Xu Yuan subconsciously stopped the servants who were about to leave:
"etc."
“.”
Following the voice of the young man in brocade robe, Qin Mo suddenly caught sight of the great master groom he had seen before walking slowly towards this side from a distance.
My heart trembled slightly:
"Old Man"
"Don't panic, I'm here, this kid just glanced at you, what's the hurry?"
"Yeah..." Qin Mo felt slightly calm.
And the next moment,
He heard the next words of the young man in brocade robe, in a rather bored tone:
"In the future, I will bring less people to this lake to get together, it will be an eyesore."
The foreman felt panic when he heard the words, he nodded and bowed quickly and said;
"Yes, yes, these **** will never appear here again in the future to hinder your eyes, Third Young Master."
Xu Yuan glanced at the foreman:
"The same to you."
“.”Foreman.
short conversation,
The foreman walked away with a group of servants with a smile on his face.
Qin Mo, who was mixed in the crowd, felt relieved, let out a long breath, and left with the crowd.
Watching the crowd walk away, Xu Yuan, who was standing still, let out a long breath.
He shouldn't have stopped the other party just now.
If there is no problem, then there is no need to stop.
If there is a problem, then his subconscious move just now was to send another head.
Almost made a mistake, but luckily he reacted quickly.
After thinking about it for a while, the Wuxuan Academy is not planning to go either.
Xu Yuan realized where the sense of disobedience he felt just now came from.
Eyes.
Just now when he glanced over, many servants met his gaze, but the eyes of these servants were all full of panic and fear.
But the young man with an ordinary face did not.
Although it was only for a moment, Xu Yuan clearly saw that there was no panic in the other party's eyes.
Some are just calm, even with a kind of condescending self-confidence.
It is as special as standing out from the crowd.
Even if he saw this kind of look in the eyes of a poor scholar, Xu Yuan would not be surprised at all, after all, he has a good reputation.
But it appeared on a long-term worker in the mansion.
This is not the previous life, this is an extraordinary world with strict hierarchy that can suffocate people.
Even the chief stewards in the mansion cringe when they see him, not to mention the most humble servants in the mansion.
Very unusual.
Thoughts flashed, Xu Yuan subconsciously thought of Qin Mo, feeling a little absurd in his heart.
Was that person just now Qin Mo?
Xu Yuan thought that the other party might want to come to rescue Su Jinxuan, but he never thought that the other party would dare to come to the mansion to rescue Su Jinxuan.
Before he went to find him, he came to the door himself.
The three great masters took out the big formation in Jingjiang mansion, how dare they come?
Are the protagonists of these plots so courageous now?
Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed between his brows.
It is not entirely true, then Qin Mo may not know that there is a great master guarding him.
What's more, he still has a soul ring on his body, and a saint lives in that soul ring.
From the perspective of the other party, sneaking into the mansion to save people is not impossible.
"." Xu Yuan.
"Third Young Master, are you going to Wuxuanyuan?"
It's Zhou Chen.
Xu Yuan glanced sideways at him:
"Today is off, go find Su Jinxuan."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the northwest courtyard where the communication formation was located. Recently, Ying'er has been "teaching" Su Jinxuan there.
It is also very simple to verify whether that person just now is Qin Mo, just ask Su Jinxuan to try it out.
The Black Scale Guard had a plan for Qin Mo to rescue Su Jinxuan, so that she could go undercover.
But this plan was rejected by Xu Yuan as soon as it came out.
Killing Qin Mo is more important to Xu Yuan than the forces hidden in the dark.
He is very clear about the growth rate of the other party, and he is more aware of the height that the other party can reach in the future.
Silent all the way,
Walking into the heavily guarded courtyard, Xu Yuan suddenly asked:
"Mr. Zhou, do you know how the long-term servants in our mansion are recruited?"
"Um?"
Zhou Chen's eyes were slightly surprised, and he subconsciously glanced at the servant who was walking away, and said with a smile:
"The specifics are not clear, but basically they recruit relatives of the elderly in the mansion, and most of the sons inherit their father's business."
"No exceptions?" Xu Yuan continued to ask.
Zhou Chen was a little puzzled as to why the other party would ask this, hesitated a little, and replied truthfully:
"Of course there is, and it is very common. There are many crooked ways to get the third-class long-term worker quota just now. Generally speaking, there are people selling this kind of quota in the government."
Zhou Chen has been working his way up from the bottom, and he is very familiar with the ways of making money from the bottom.
Xu Yuan frowned upon hearing this, and asked, "Sell?"
Zhou Chen said in a low voice:
"Now the world is a bit chaotic. Many people want to squeeze into the aristocratic family and do long-term jobs. They even sell themselves as servants. Some people want to buy, and naturally some people want to sell."
Xu Yuan frowned upon hearing this:
"If you recruit long-term servants like this, won't there be secret workers sneaking in?"
"The third son is careful."
Zhou Chen clasped his fists together, and continued: "The people below this kind of thing will be more or less measured, even if it is sold, they will not sell it to people they don't know. And very few people use this method to invest in fine work, servants spend their entire lives. He is a servant and cannot access any important information."
"What if someone uses this to assassinate?" Xu Yuan continued to ask.
"Assassination."
Zhou Chen just wanted to answer when he heard the words, Xu Yuan waved his hand first to interrupt, indicating that there is no need to explain.
His last question was a bit naive.
Whether you practice Qi or martial arts, the improvement of your cultivation level will continuously improve your physique.
Unless one cultivates to the fourth rank to transform the physical body, or practices some precious secret techniques, it is difficult to hide this kind of physical improvement.
If you have cultivation, just check your physical body.
Servants are not so particular.
As for those who are above the fourth rank or who have practiced precious secret techniques, sneak in to assassinate
It is easy to be a thief in a thousand days, but it is difficult to prevent a thief in a thousand days.
In the previous life, it was difficult to prevent assassination with guns, let alone in the extraordinary world, the other party was willing to spend blood to assassinate, whether there is this channel to enter the mansion is the same.
Zhou Chen changed the subject when he saw this, and asked softly:
"Third Young Master asked this, but are there any suspicious people among those people just now?"
"Um."
Xu Yuan did not deny it.
Although it is impossible to confirm whether it is Qin Mo, it does not affect his arrangement in advance.
Zhou Chen frowned upon hearing this, and looked towards the courtyard where the servants lived.
Xu Yuan saw his eyes and immediately reminded him:
"Don't act rashly."
Zhou Chen stopped his movements, pondered for two seconds, and asked in a low voice;
"Third Young Master suspects them, but what did you find just now?"
Xu Yuan said truthfully:
"One of the long-term workers in this group has wrong eyes."
?
The eyes are wrong?
Zhou Chen was obviously stunned when he heard this, but he reacted immediately and coughed lightly:
"Cough the third son is cautious, but is this a bit too worrying?"
"." Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan didn't know whether he should be so motivating because of a look.
But this time point is too coincidental.
Changhong Valley is only a hundred or twenty miles away from Jingjiang Mansion, and it can be reached in a few days, and Qin Mo also has the motivation and ability to sneak into the mansion.
Matters that involve your own life must be more cautious.
Without further explanation, Xu Yuan glanced at Zhou Chen and said:
"You can see that I have worried about other people for so long? Mr. Zhou, I suspect that Qin Mo sneaked in to save Su Jinxuan."
Zhou Chen thought for a while, and said:
"The kid who used the eighth-rank tempering vein to reverse the seventh-rank bone training?"
"Yes." Xu Yuan nodded.
Zhou Chen tentatively said: "In this case, does the third son need Zhou to take a look?"
Xu Yuan glanced at him, then asked:
"Mr. Zhou, you should have investigated the group of servants just now, right?"
"Nature explored."
"Can you sense the qi on him?"
“.”
Zhou Chen frowned upon hearing this.
Compared to Xu Yuan's judgment through a look, Zhou Chen is naturally more willing to believe in his own investigation results.
But if Xu Yuan's judgment is true, then the pair is a strong person who can block his perception.
Although the probability is very small, the safety of the third son is involved, even if it is one in ten thousand, it must not be let go.
His eyes gradually became dignified, Zhou Chen clasped his fists slightly:
"Third Young Master, can you go back to the house with me, Zhou will go get the sword."
He can take the sword from the air, but that will cause fluctuations in the source energy. Since he doubts it, everything needs to be safe.
Xu Yuan pondered for a while, shook his head and refused:
"For the time being, everything is business as usual. Qin Mo chose to pretend to be a long-term worker instead of sneaking in to save people. Obviously, he is still afraid, and it is unlikely that he will act immediately."
"Besides, I'm not sure that that person is Qin Mo, I have to let Su Jinxuan test it first."
finished speaking,
After Xu Yuan paused, he added:
"As for you, Mr. Zhou, um. Can I trouble you to go to the communication circle and tell Xu Changge the truth of what I just said."
To fight the boss, you can be led by a big boss, so naturally you can't do it alone.
He has to shake the big guy over.
