Chapter 49 Arrival
Their journey was relatively safe.
That is, there were two incidents: the encounter with the Yinshan Ghost King in the Funiu Mountain Charity Hall, and the visit from the Qi Jue Tang.
However, of these two things, one is related to the Luofeng Alliance, and the other one... is even more relevant.
Someone, claiming to be a real person hidden in Xuanji Valley, sent out invitations to various people to go to Xuanji Valley for discussions, saying that there was an undercurrent in the martial arts world and that they must be guarded against.
The two brothers and sisters from Luoxingmen were invited for this reason, and they went to Xuanji Valley. When they passed by Funiushan Mountain, they encountered the Yinshan Ghost King.
Then... has this invitation been delivered to Liu Suifeng?
If it is delivered, will there be any changes during this period?
Could it be related to the fact that these people are now gathering in Pingfeng Town and looking at Yuqing Mountain?
However, even if he expressed this doubt now, it would be of no help, so Su Mo simply did not say anything. Anyway, everything would be clear after arriving at Yuliu Villa tomorrow.
…
…
I originally thought that this inn was full of good and bad people, and it would be difficult to ensure a safe night.
But they didn't expect that there would be really no conversation that night. Apart from the occasional person running back and forth on the roof, no other trouble came to them.
As for who was the person running around that night ? What was he doing?
As I said...mind your own business!
In the blink of an eye, it was already dawn the next day.
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun had breakfast in the inn, then left the inn under the gaze of these martial arts people, mounted their horses and headed straight for Yuqing Mountain.
Everything was perfectly normal. If there was anything unusual, it was that the man who borrowed the sword, who always appeared on time every morning like a ghost, did not come this morning.
Although Su Mo felt that this was a bit strange, he was relieved and did not pursue it...
Yuqing Mountain is a thousand miles of green and lush vegetation. There are paths in the forest where you can ride a horse.
Yujing Lake is located in this valley. From a distance, it looks like a bright mirror. Under the sunlight, it emits a jade-like luster.
Going around Yujing Lake, you will reach Yuliu Villa.
Yuliu Villa is built on the mountainside. There is water in front of the door, which is Yujing Lake, and there are mountains behind it, with high cliffs.
The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it is a good place.
The only regret was that it was already night when they arrived here.
It takes exactly one day to travel from Pingfeng Town to Yuqing Mountain, and it is just getting dark now.
The two men had just walked along Yujing Lake for a short while when they were stopped by someone.
Blocking them were two disciples from Yuliu Villa dressed in green, standing in front of them with their swords crossed.
"Stop, everyone! The Yuliu Villa is ahead, no one is allowed in!"
"oh?"
Yang Xiaoyun glanced at Su Mo, then pulled the reins, took two steps forward and nodded slightly:
"Yuliu Villa is well-known in the martial arts world, and the owner of the villa is a martial arts master, but I have never heard of a rule that Yuliu Villa is listed as a forbidden place in the martial arts world and that people in the martial arts world cannot go there!"
"this……"
The two men looked at each other, frowned slightly, and one of them said, "May I ask your names?"
Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo, who nodded slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Su Mo, the chief escort of Luoxia City Ziyang Escort Agency! This is Yang Xiaoyun of Tiexue Escort Agency... I was entrusted with a dart a month ago. May I ask if the owner of Yuliu Jianxin Liu Manor is in the manor?"
He reported his name and stated his purpose.
The two people on the opposite side looked at each other, and one of them muttered to himself: "I have never heard of the Ziyang Escort Agency, but how did it get together with the Tiexue Escort Agency?"
"Do you have any proof?"
The other person looked at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.
Su Mo simply took out the written contract signed between him and Ji Shuhua from his arms. With a flick of his finger, the thin piece of paper flew straight to the man's chest with a sharp sound of breaking through the wind.
The man was surprised. The way this person picked up the flying leaves showed how strong his internal strength was.
I thought I was in trouble, but I didn't expect that the paper would come to me and fall down lightly.
Only then did he react and quickly reached out to catch the contract.
After calming down a little, he no longer dared to be negligent, and said with a fist:
"Please wait a moment, I have to report first."
"Please do as you please."
Su Mo frowned and waved his hand gently.
The man took the contract and turned away, while the other man looked at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun cautiously.
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun looked at each other, and there were indeed changes in Yuqing Villa.
Otherwise, the disciples would not be so unhospitable.
After all, Yuliu Villa has become famous because of Liu Suifeng 's existence.
It cannot be said that there is an endless stream of people from the martial arts world coming to visit, but there are definitely quite a few.
If everyone in Yuliu Villa had this attitude, its reputation would have spread everywhere long ago.
Being skilled in martial arts is certainly the foundation of one's life, but if one does not know how to behave as a human being, no one will ever say a good word to him. How can one be as successful as he is today?
However, the two did not say much. No matter what happened in Yuliu Villa, as long as they delivered the escort in their hands, their job would be done.
Just wait a little bit now , that's all.
The waiting time was not too long. After just a moment, someone came back.
The person who came back was not only the person who had just gone in to report, but there was also someone following him.
But he is a middle-aged man in his fifties.
This man was quite polite. He clasped his hands together and smiled before saying anything: "Meet the two young heroes. I am Liu Qingkong."
"So it's Butler Liu. I'm so sorry."
Su Mo immediately clasped his fists.
Although I have never seen him, I have heard of the name Liu Qingkong.
Although he has not made any achievements in martial arts, the mere title of the steward of Yuliu Villa is enough to make people in the martial arts world dare not underestimate him.
"You're welcome. You're welcome."
Liu Qingkong smiled slightly, took out the contract and said, "I have read this contract. It turns out that the chivalrous hero Ji Shuhua Ji asked you two to come here. However, there are other important matters in the manor now. Can you two give this dart to me?"
Su Mo sighed in his heart. If possible, he would like to end the matter at that.
But the problem is, it is clearly written on our system that this thing must be handed over to Liu Suifeng personally.
If this happened to Liu Qingkong, he might have wasted the past month or so. He could only clasp his fists and say:
"Please forgive me, Steward Liu. To be honest, the contract states that this item must be delivered to Master Liu in person. I am young and inexperienced, and I have just taken on a big responsibility, becoming the chief escort of Ziyang Escort Agency. Since I promised the hero Ji Shuhua in person, I cannot go back on my word.
"But I wonder if Senior Liu is in the manor?"
"this……"
Liu Qingkong was silent for a moment, his face hesitant. After struggling for a while, he sighed and said, "Well, since Chief Escort Su is in a dilemma, then follow me."
"Thank you, Butler Liu, for your flexibility."
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun dismounted from their horses, leading the horses and following Liu Qingkong towards the Yuliu Villa.
It goes without saying that the journey was long. When we got there, although we could no longer see the scenery of the Yujing Lake, the Yuliu Villa was built on the mountain and it was quite magnificent with its rows of houses.
At this time, there were people standing on both sides of the gate to guard, their eyes were sharp, and there was a hint of keeping people at a distance.
