low-key is king

Chapter 138 Finally gone!
Xuanyang country, in a big mountain!

This is a big mountain to the east of Tianyang City, the capital of Xuanyang Kingdom. The mountain is shrouded in mist and the humidity is extremely heavy, but a group of figures are hidden in the dense forest mist, faintly visible.

Naturally, these people were all members of the Zhao family who had escaped from Tianyang City, and ten full days had passed by now.

They came out from the west gate and circled around quite a long way. The real goal was naturally Watanabe Castle where King Zhendong was located.

It is worth mentioning that during these ten days, Yu Xiangjin, the steward of the Tianyang City branch of the Wanguo Shang Kingdom, has been following and protecting each other, which makes the Zhao family members both grateful and puzzled.

Even if they are the sons of the two prime ministers, they don't know why the Wan Guo Business League spared no effort to help the Zhao family. They took it for granted that it was attributed to the good relationship formed by their father.

But what kind of good fortune is it that can make Yuxiangjin, the majestic steward of the five realms, protect each other for ten days. The Prime Minister of Xuanyang Kingdom, does he really have such a great ability?
It's just that Zhao Qidong didn't say anything, and Yu Xiangjin didn't say it himself. Even if other people had doubts, no one would ask them. They all have very good eyesight.

"I said Yu Guanshi, you really don't want to escort us all the way to Watanabe Castle, do you?"

In the corner of the dense forest, Lu Xun asked half-jokingly, which attracted many people's attention.

They were also somewhat curious about this Mr. Lu.

Because along the way, except for the occasional few words with Zhao Qidong, Yuxiangjin said almost all the words to that Mr. Lu, which made them guess the origin of Mr. Lu in their hearts.

But like Yuxiangjin Xiangzhu Prime Minister's Mansion, Mr. Lu's origin is also a mystery.

Everyone just guessed that Mr. Lu had a lot of background, and it might even be because of Mr. Lu that the All Nations Business Alliance agreed to help the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Listening to Mr. Lu taking the initiative to speak at this moment, everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to analyze the clues from the conversation between the two parties. After all, everyone has a sense of curiosity.

"What? Mr. Lu thinks that there is nothing wrong with the recent peace, and the protection of my business alliance is a bit redundant?"

In fact, Yu Xiangjin didn't know the real origin of this Mr. Lu. If he didn't have a five-star black card, with her identity, how could she care about a young man?
There was some teasing in this sentence, and Lu Xun didn't care about it. He knew that the reason why the All Nations Business Alliance helped the Prime Minister's Mansion was definitely not because of himself, but the precious five-star black card.

"Hehe, with Steward Yu here, I'm afraid there won't be any petty thieves who would dare to make trouble!"

Lu Xun chuckled again, and then glanced at a certain place. He knew that with the cultivation base of Yuxiangjin five-level armed division, he couldn't sense the strangeness of that place.

Of course, Lu Xun himself didn't feel it, but he has an omnipotent senior brother and a black cat monster in his arms.

The continuous reminders of the two made it difficult for him not to find the dark breath.

"Young master Lu is feeling too bored, do you want to meet those little thieves for a while?"

Although Yu Xiangjin didn't sense any aura, she could hear the meaning of Lu Xun's words, and there was already a smile on her face.

"Children are ignorant, so I ask Guan Yu not to mind!"

Zhao Qidong listened to the side for a long time, and seemed to hear that Lu Xun wanted to let everyone from the Wan Guo Business League leave, so he finally couldn't help but speak.

According to what he meant, he really wanted this steward Yu to send himself and others to Watanabe Castle directly.

Anyway, this favor has already been owed, and the favor sent to Watanabe City may not be much more important than the favor sent here.

With jade, fragrance and gold, everyone in the Zhao family will undoubtedly be safer.

"Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell. Then... Mr. Lu, let's say goodbye?"

Yu Xiangjin didn't even glance at Zhao Qidong, but kept staring at the boy in black in front of him.

You let me go, so don't use the five-star black card as an argument.

"Thank you, Steward Yu, for escorting me all the way. Lu will definitely keep his help in mind!"

Lu Xun did not lose his courtesy, after all, he is the manager of the branch of the Wan Guo Business League in the capital, and the Zhendong Palace may have to deal with him more in the future. These few words made De Yuxiangjin quite satisfied.

"gone!"

Yu Xiangjin didn't sloppy, but just glanced at Zhang Zhizhao, the housekeeper of Xiangfu, before leaving, and then quickly disappeared with a group of martial artists from the Ten Thousand Nations Business Alliance.

Perhaps in Yu Xiangjin's view, the other party's reliance is the five-level martial artist.

Now that it is extremely far away from the capital of Xuanyang Kingdom, the Queen's killers may not be able to find the location of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, when the members of the Wan Guo Business League had just left the sight of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Steward Yu stopped in front of them, causing them all to stop.

Shang Cheng stepped forward and summoned up his courage to ask, "My lord, do we really ignore them?"

He didn't know the identity of Mr. Lu, and he didn't know why the lord in charge wanted to help the prime minister's mansion uncharacteristically, but he didn't ask any of these.

"I always feel that something is wrong!"

Yu Xiangjin murmured, and glanced suspiciously in a certain direction, which was the direction Lu Xun had been paying attention to before.

It has to be said that a woman's intuition is indeed very strong, even if she didn't sense that breath, she still didn't relax her vigilance.

"Hey, they are the ones who chased away my old lady. If I am in danger later, and my old lady comes to the rescue later, do you think this kind of favor will be greater?"

Although she didn't sense anything, Yuxiangjin showed a smile at this moment, then turned her head around, and tiptoed towards the direction where the Zhao family members were.

…………

"It's finally gone!"

In another place in the dense forest of the mountain, on an extremely dense and tall tree, a figure almost merged with the tree body. Even if you look closely, you may not be able to find his trace.

This person is naturally Su Yunfan, a five-level martial artist sent by the empress. Although he is not a monk, he is naturally close to the wood attribute, and he is most handy in hiding in this dense forest.

Su Yunfan has been with the Zhao family for ten days since he was sent out by the queen to carry out this mission.

He has been waiting for those people from the Ten Thousand Nations Business Alliance to leave, or at least for Yuxiangjin, who has completed the five realms, to leave, otherwise he will not make a move easily.

Earlier, Su Yunfan was really a little uncertain, this woman, Yu Xiangjin, would not really escort Zhao Qidong and his party to Watanabe Castle, then he would have no chance.

Fortunately, the worst result did not happen. Su Yunfan, who was hiding in the dark, also heard the conversation between Yu Xiangjin and that Mr. Lu just now, and couldn't help but slander.

"Hey, does this count as asking for death?"

After no longer feeling the breath of Yuxiangjin, Su Yunfan sneered in his heart, and his body had already slid down the tree trunk, approaching the Zhao family group without anyone noticing.

"Zhao Qidong, you can only blame your own fate!"

Su Yunfan muttered in his heart, but his attention was not on Zhao Qidong who had no cultivation, but on Zhang Zhizhao, the butler of Xiangfu who had just entered the fifth realm.

Perhaps in his opinion, only this person is his only variable.

It's just that he is in the dark and the enemy is in the open. He believes that with his assassination skills that are not inferior to hidden assassins and killers, he will never miss this time.

…………

"Finally can't stand it anymore?"

Lu Xun is now also a martial artist who has just entered the fourth realm, and the Qi refining realm has also reached the perfection of the third realm, and finally sensed the slightest moving breath at this moment.

Of course, under the reminders of his senior brother and the big demon, Lu Xun had a preconceived idea, and then he sensed it. In addition, the man moved his body, otherwise he might also be caught blind.

"Brother, has the killer of the Hidden Killing Society really been following us?"

Sensing the dangerous aura that was getting closer, Lu Xun himself was not sure that he could block the killing blow, and he was not prepared to let the big monster take action, after all, there are too many people in this place.

"Don't worry, your 30 high-grade gold beads are not for nothing!"

Lu Xun heaved a sigh of relief when the senior brother's words came out of his mind, but he still stroked the big demon in his arms.

When it really came to that critical moment, he naturally trusted the big monster who was dependent on him even more.

Speaking of which, although Lu Xun is a ten-star killer, if he wants Yinsha to send a killer to covertly protect him, he will have to pay a high price.

Fortunately, the current Lu Xun is no longer as poor as when he first returned to the palace, he can still get a mere 30 top-grade gold beads, which is the price for hiring a five-star killer this time.

The reward task of the Hidden Killing Society is not just to kill people blindly. Lu Xun, who holds the token of the ten-star killer, undoubtedly has more privileges.

Ask a five-star killer to protect the Zhao family. As long as they can afford the money, those killers will still accept the task.

Generally speaking, the fifth-level mission of the Hidden Killing Society is 50 to 80 top-grade gold beads.

Lu Xun was able to hire a five-star killer for only 30 yuan, which undoubtedly played a big role in the token of the ten-star killer.

It has to be said that Hidden Killer's method of concealing aura is more powerful than that of Su Yunfan. Not only Lu Xun did not sense it, but several experts who are also at the level of five realms also did not sense the slightest aura.

But Lu Xun has cheats, and there are two of them, with his senior brother and the big demon, there is no power to hide from him, which is why he drove Yu Xiangjin away directly.

Because he knew that with Yuxiangjin around, the killer sent by the queen would never dare to do anything, and as soon as Yuxiangjin left, that one would definitely be unable to bear it.

Lu Xun is still very interested in a five-level small martial artist, and he is a top-notch expert in Watanabe City.

Losing a martial artist of the five realms, presumably the empress would also be very heartbroken, right?

In the dense forest among the mountains, many members of the Zhao family were chatting and laughing, not aware of the danger that was approaching quietly.

Or maybe it was because they lived so safely during this period of time that they completely forgot about the current Prime Minister's Mansion. In fact, it can only be regarded as a bereaved dog.
