Chapter 7 Difficulty, Many Misguided Roads! (Part 1)(1/2)
The journey is difficult and there are many different paths!
Xu Changan waited until Cui Wei left, then stood up and stretched.
He thought for a while and decided to go back inside the fence so that he could know what these people were looking for.
Outside the fence, there was a commotion, and Xu Changan took this opportunity to stay back to his original position.
Except for the two brothers Meng Hai and Meng He, no one else noticed at all that the bearded man ran out and came back again.
The two of them glanced at Xu Changan without saying a word, and Xu Changan also smiled at them. Then he thought about it, patted Meng Hai on the shoulder, and said softly to the two of them: "Don't worry, they are fine.
"
After the two heard this, the worry on their faces dissipated a little, and they bowed slightly towards Xu Changan.
At this time, a new group of people came in again.
At this time, it is the third day!
…
Mengyi felt a little uncomfortable. He put on a mask and buried his head, standing respectfully in the Loyalty Hall.
The huge Zhongyi Hall was brightly lit, but there were only three people there.
The man wearing the blue ghost fang mask stood next to the chair, like a loyal servant.
As the leader of Qingfeng Village, Mengyi stood respectfully below like a subordinate who had made a mistake, not daring to raise his head to look at the young man sitting on the big tiger-skin chair where he had been sitting for a long time.
The young man was very thin, his face was dark red, and his lips were as red as if they were about to drip blood.
In the middle of his forehead, there is a blue moon painted, and the crescent moon looks like an upright sickle. The blue sickle forms a sharp contrast with his dark red skin.
At first glance, this young man seemed to be only a young man. He was wearing a water-blue robe. Under the candlelight, the robe was like sea water, making waves, which was really beautiful.
He is thin, and if it weren't for his skin, he would be a fair-skinned and delicate boy.
Although this young man's body was thin, it seemed as if the mountain wind on Qingfeng Village could blow him away, but it was this thin body that made the strong Mengyi unable to lift his head.
"By the way, three days have come and the last group of people has arrived. Have you found Sui Yuanxing?"
The young man asked slowly, and glanced sideways at the old man wearing a blue ghost fang mask who stood aside like a slave, bringing him news and doing business.
The young man's surname is Lan, and his name is Lan Yu. He naturally knows that the person next to him is an old man, and he is an extremely hypocritical old man.
"No." As Lan Yu's spokesperson during these three days, the old man was naturally extremely respectful in front of Lan Yu.
"Explain!" Lan Yu said coldly, and then looked at Mengyi below, his eyes staring at Mengyi's back sending chills down his spine.
"Is it because someone is not cooperating, or your information is wrong? After a few days of tossing, there is no result. We need to make it clear who is responsible and who should be punished." Lan Yu lay on the chair and played with his slender breasts casually.
finger.
As soon as these words came out, the two of them felt a chill in their hearts.
Especially Mengyi, he can sit down in front of this old man wearing a mask and raise the price, but in front of Lan Yu, he wouldn't dare to make a mistake even if he had ten courages.
They become water pirates just to survive, but if they offend this young man and get angry, they might not even be able to survive. How can they survive?
The two of them lowered their heads, pursed their lips tightly, and did not dare to speak.
"I, I contributed money and effort, and risked offending the Jingmen Prefecture court and the immortal cultivating sect in Jingmen Prefecture. Is this the result?"
Lan Yu let go of his hand and stood up from the chair. His blue robe was like water waves, and a burst of light rippled away.
A trace of envy arose in Mengyi's heart. This robe must belong to a cultivator. How can the best silk and satin be so smooth and glowing?
He is a man of great wealth, otherwise he would not have been able to turn the Cui family's village from the second in charge to the boss in the first place.
His heart was filled with greed, but his eyes showed fear, fear of strength.
Water pirates are all people who want money and material rather than their lives. They make a living with their heads in their belts. How could they be afraid of strength and power? If that were the case, they would have long since become good and honest people.
Lan Yu glanced at Mengyi. This burly man was as strong as a tiger, but his eyes were like a mouse. Lan Yu snorted coldly, looking at Mengyi with eyes full of disdain.
What Lan Yu didn't know was that underneath the mask that he couldn't see was a face that was smiling ferociously.
"Tell me, I heard you want to increase the price?"
Lan Yu tilted his head and looked at Mengyi.
"I don't dare. It's just that there are more people coming these days. If there are more casualties, I'm afraid I'll offend the capital of Jingmen Prefecture. By then, I won't be able to survive! That's why I just complained to this gentleman.
"
Lan Yu looked at him smiling, and Mengyi felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak.
In the end, Lan Yu didn't say anything. He returned to the chair and said to the old man beside him: "You said that Sui Yuanxing would take that thing to the Qinglian Sect in Jingmen Prefecture, and you said that it would be delivered to the Qinglian Sect in Jingmen Prefecture within a few days.
After passing here, where are the people now?"
The old man wearing the green ghost fang mask lowered his head.
"Sui Yuan is a cautious man. I heard with my own ears that he wanted to take the land route."
Hearing this, Lan Yu frowned, with a trace of anger in his eyes, as if he was a fool.
"Then what's the point of asking me to intercept the waterway? Do you think I'm a fool?"
The old man wearing the green ghost fang mask immediately lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "Master Lan Xian, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say."
Lan Yu stared at him, and a burst of blue light appeared on his palm.
"According to my understanding of Sui Yuanxing, he will never go by land, and if he goes by land, it will take him five or six days to get halfway through. But the waterway is only two days away, and we can be here
Intercept him first. If he cannot be intercepted, we will be able to stop him on land with the help of our ancestors' footsteps."
"If we intercept them by land first, we may not have time to catch them by water."
Lan Yu glanced at him, and the blue light on his palm disappeared. The old man wearing the blue ghost fang mask also breathed a sigh of relief.
"How much do you know about him?" Lan Yu asked.
"Good friends and old friends."
When Lan Yu heard this, he shook his head and sneered.
"He treats you as a close friend, what do you think of him?"
The old man wearing the green ghost fang mask smiled slightly, his eyes radiating light.
"A person can have many close friends and old friends in his life, but he only has one life. If I can help the Immortal obtain a rare treasure and teach him the Immortal's magic, I can live a little longer and make more close friends.
Well, as for old friends, since there is a word ‘old’, let’s go away peacefully!”
Lan Yu stared at him closely, and there was no guilt in the masked old man's eyes.
"I'm most afraid of bad people who have read books and say some nonsense, but they have no way to refute it."
The old man wearing the mask showed no shame and bowed slightly towards Lan Yu.
“Thanks for the compliment!”
Lan Yu shook his head and said to the old man wearing a mask: "It's really miserable to be friends with you."
"But there are still many people who are willing to be friends with me."
Lan Yu smiled on his face, but felt an indescribable nausea in his heart.
"Okay, you've passed the interception at the waterway. Then explain why you didn't search them."
The old man wearing the mask did not panic at all, and held his chest slightly out, looking confident.
"I dare to ask my master, if you had a treasure that you couldn't use, would you keep it with you at all times? And that treasure was coveted by many people, would you show your true face to others?"
Lan Yu shook his head and said: "Since I can't use it myself, I will definitely hide it, negotiate with others for benefits, and let others take it after I get the benefits."
The old man wearing a mask stood on the tiger leather chair and nodded.
"Immortal Master's advice, Sui Yuanxing is not a stupid person, so he can naturally think of this level."
"So, we must catch him so that we can have the capital to negotiate. What would a normal person do if he was caught and had treasure hidden?"
"Escape." Lan Yu already knew what this old guy meant and followed his train of thought.
"Yes, that's why we surrounded instead of searching, and I asked the leader of the Meng village to tighten the outside and loosen the inside. The guards outside were very weak, but a few people were placed inside. If there is chaos inside the fence, I am Sui Yuanxing, and I will definitely
Run out and hide. After all, the mountains are high and the forests are deep, so it is not easy to find someone."
Lan Yu nodded.
"But what if he really ran away?"
"Master, please rest assured that you can't escape. Although the guard fence is lax, many people have sneaked in among the people. Moreover, we have a circle around the perimeter. We only need to catch those who want to take advantage of the chaos to escape. As long as Sui Yuanxing
I'll definitely be able to recognize it if it's inside."
Lan Yu nodded with satisfaction.
"What if no one runs away?"
The old man wearing a mask leaned over and whispered a few words into Lan Yu's ear, and Lan Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Mengyi stood there blankly. He couldn't get in the middle of the conversation between the two people, and couldn't hear what they said. He could only stand there and quietly clenched his fists.
