A large caravan was coming along the official road.
The caravan consisted of more than thirty carriages loaded with goods. The carriages were heavy and the carriages were pulled by fat and strong horses.
The goods were covered with thick oilcloth and bundled tightly. Dozens of Guards wearing uniform uniforms and sharp eyes were riding horses on both sides, in good order and obviously well-trained.
The sudden appearance of Fang Han was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the rhythm of the caravan's progress.
"Uu--!"
The pupils of the Guards at the front suddenly shrank, and they almost instinctively tightened their reins. The horses stood up and neighed.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The Guard at the rear reacted very quickly, and a dense sound of metal friction sounded. Most of Guard's hands had already pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his eyes were locked on Fang Han like a hawk, showing a sense of vigilance and alertness.
Several more people quickly rode forward, forming a faint semi-arc shape, separating Fang Han from the main body of the caravan, and their energy was vaguely connected, apparently in full tacit understanding.
A chilling atmosphere suddenly filled the official road.
No wonder they are so nervous.
This place has high mountains and dense forests, and has never been peaceful. It is common for bandits and strongmen to appear here.
Fang Han appeared quietly from the dense forest beside the road, and his movements were so sudden that they couldn't help but watch out.
Fang Han's eyes calmly swept over the caravan Guard, who had instantly entered a battle-ready state, taking in all their reactions without any disturbance in his heart.
He raised his hands to show that he meant no harm, and spoke in a clear and steady voice.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. I'm just passing by here and don't have any ill intentions. I'm leaving now and won't delay your caravan's itinerary."
His voice was not high-pitched, but it carried a unique penetrating power, clearly reaching the ears of every Guard.
That calm tone inexplicably made some Guard's tense heartstrings relax a little.
"Azure Profound Sect True Disciple service?"
In Guard, a middle-aged man with a sharp face who looked like a leader, his eyes fell sharply on the silver-patterned green robe on Fang Han.
Especially when I paused for a moment at the special cloud pattern on the skirt and cuffs, I let down a lot of my guard.
But the vigilance in his eyes did not completely dissipate. He clasped his fists and spoke politely but still with a distance.
"It turns out to be the noble Azure Profound Sect, disrespectful."
The words were polite, but still showed a hint of uneasiness.
The goods they escorted were obviously of great value, and they didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
Fang Han naturally heard that the other party did not completely believe it and did not take it seriously. If you are not careful enough when walking in the world, you will only be eaten without leaving any bones.
He was about to leave, showing by his actions that he had no hostility -
"Fang True Disciple?"
At this moment, a female voice with a bit of surprise, as melodious as clear spring hitting jade, came from a carriage in the middle of the caravan that looked ordinary, but was actually made of exquisite materials and had a spacious carriage.
At the same time as the sound rang out, a corner of the tightly covered brocade curtain on one side of the carriage was gently opened by a hand as white as jade.
A beautiful face peeked out from behind the car curtain. Her eyes were as bright as water, her skin was as good as snow, and her brows were as picturesque as any. She had an appearance that was no worse than Yun Qianyue.
Her eyes fell on Fang Han, and she glanced at him first for confirmation, and then, a genuine smile appeared in those clear and bright eyes.
"Steward Lan?"
Fang Han went out after hearing the sound, and when he saw the woman behind the car curtain, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The woman was Hundred Treasures Pavilion Golden Brilliance City, the auction manager who had met him once at Golden Brilliance City and secretly warned him - Lan Yuexin.
He did not expect that he would meet the manager Hundred Treasures Pavilion with a mysterious identity and extraordinary background again in this world far away from Golden Brilliance City.
He cupped his hands and said with a slight smile.
"I didn't expect to meet again here. What a coincidence."
"Yeah, it's really a coincidence."
Lan Yuexin The corners of his lips were slightly curved, revealing a gentle and decent smile. His voice was soft, but it carried a kind of affinity that made people feel like spring breeze.
"Fang True Disciple is... traveling alone? We are destined to meet each other. If you don't mind the simplicity of the carriage and horse, why not come up and sit down, have a rest, and have a cup of tea?"
Fang Han's heart moved slightly.
Gong Clan and Gong Xing have been eliminated. There are no particularly urgent matters that need to be dealt with immediately.
Last time at Golden Brilliance City, Lan Yuexin secretly sent Maid to deliver a letter, reminding him that Yin Huang might be detrimental to him.
If that reminder hadn't alerted him in advance, he would probably have been blocked by Yin Huang.
At that time, there was a big gap between him and Yin Huang in terms of strength. If he was blocked, it would be dangerous.
He owed the other party a big favor.
In a flash of thought, he made a decision, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands.
"Manager Lan is very kind, but Fang is disrespectful. He happens to be a little thirsty too, so I'm bothering him."
"Fang True Disciple is very polite, please."
Lan Yuexin's smile deepened and he signaled Guard to get out of the way.
Fang Han walked towards the carriage and bent down to enter the carriage.
The interior of the carriage is more spacious than it appears from the outside, elegantly furnished, covered with soft velvet carpets, and equipped with fixed low tables.
On the table were exquisite tea sets and a small bronze incense burner, which was exhaling a calming fragrance.
In addition to Lan Yuexin, there was another person sitting in the car.
She was a woman in her forties, with her hair neatly combed into a bun, and wearing a Dark Cyan underskirt.
Not the one I saw last time.
<Spirit Sniffing Art> Having reached the state of the Proficiency Realm, Fang Han's perception of breath is extremely sensitive.
Judging from the breath, this woman is about the Fourth Grade level, and there is a certain gap between the woman who was with Lan Yuexin last time.
"Fang True Disciple, please sit down."
Lan Yuexin pointed to the soft cushion on the other side of the low table and motioned for Fang Han to sit down.
I poured a cup of tea for Fang Han. Tea was bright in color and fragrant. It was obviously not an ordinary tea.
"Thank you."
Fang Han thanked him, sat down on the soft cushion, took the tea cup, and took a sip.
The warm tea soup enters the throat, with its unique moisturizing and sweetness, which can really take away some of the fatigue from the journey.
Putting down the tea cup, he turned his eyes to Lan Yuexin and spoke sincerely.
"Manager Lan, I was at Golden Brilliance City last time. Thank you for sending a message to remind me. If you hadn't warned me in time, Fang might have been in danger at that time."
"Fang True Disciple is serious, but it's just a little effort."
Lan Yuexin heard this and shook his head gently with a gentle smile.
She paused, her eyes moved, and she said half-jokingly with just the right amount of anger and intimacy.
"If Fang True Disciple really wants to thank me, then he shouldn't be so angry and always call him 'Manager Lan', 'Manager Lan'."
"My real name is Lan Yuexin. If Fang True Disciple doesn't give up, just call me by my name."
This was said quite skillfully. It not only accepted Fang Han's gratitude, but also downplayed it, and also used the opportunity to propose a more intimate title, further drawing the relationship between the two people closer.
It also has a bit of girlish playfulness, which is hard to resist.
Fang Han knew in his heart that Lan Yuexin was releasing a signal to make friends, and he did not resist it.
Lan Yuexin and even Hundred Treasures Pavilion want to make friends with his genius True Disciple. He also intends to make friends with the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, the top three chamber of commerce in the county. After all, he will inevitably use the chamber of commerce to turn his banknotes into physical objects in the future.
Smile slightly and follow the path of kindness.
"In that case, Fang has overstepped his bounds. Miss Yue Xin should not call me 'Fang True Disciple' anymore. Just call me Fang Han."
"Okay, Mr. Fang Han."
Lan Yuexin followed the good example and immediately changed his tune and called out. His voice was crisp and clear, and his smile became more genuine and brighter.
She seemed very happy that Fang Han accepted this "closeness", and the atmosphere suddenly became more harmonious and natural.
"I wonder who this is?"
Fang Han cast his gaze on the woman in the carriage, inquiring slightly.
"This is Chen Qiong, Aunt Chen. She is an old man in the pavilion. She is traveling with me this time and will take care of me."
Lan Yuexin introduced.
"Last time at Golden Brilliance City, the one who followed Yue Xin was Wu Xia Aunt Wu. She is a very relied upon senior in the pavilion."
"There is a batch of important goods in the pavilion that need to be transported to Linjun for trade. The journey is not smooth, so Aunt Wu was temporarily transferred to escort the caravan."
"Outside the county?"
Hearing that Hundred Treasures Pavilion had transactions with foreign forces, Fang Han suddenly had a thought in his heart.
I am worried that the cultivation speed of <Windcloud Escape> is too slow compared to Sword Technique, and I am suffering from the fact that there is no magical item that improves the talent like "Sword-Shaped Grass" to improve Footwork Talent.
I have seen in the sect secret records before that Howling Moon Spirit Deer Horn has a miraculous effect on improving Body Movement Talent. However, it has been extinct in Qingyang Prefecture for hundreds of years and its traces are hard to find.
But Hundred Treasures Pavilion has business all over the county and even has channels outside the county. Maybe... they can find a way to find it?
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Lan Yuexin, his expression a little more solemn.
"Miss Yue Xin, Fang has something to do and may need your help."
"Master Fang Han, please tell me, as long as Yue Xin can do it, I will not refuse."
Lan Yuexin's bright eyes brightened slightly, he sat up straighter and said.
She was worried that she would not have a suitable opportunity to further deepen her connection with Fang Han, so the other party took the initiative to ask for help, which was the best thing to do.
"I would like to ask your Majesty to help you pay attention to a treasure of heaven and earth."
Fang Han said slowly.
"Howling Moon Spirit Deer Horn."
"Howling Moon Spirit Deer Antlers?"
As the manager of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Lan Yuexin is well aware of the effects and conditions of various natural materials and treasures.
Relevant information immediately comes to mind.
"This thing can improve Body Movement Talent. As far as I know, Howling Moon Spirit Deer has been extinct in Qingyang Prefecture for hundreds of years."
"Exactly."
Fang Han nodded.
"Qingyang Prefecture It's hard to find Howling Moon Spirit Deer. I heard that you have trade with outside the county, so I would like to ask your help and attention outside the county."
"Master Fang Han, don't worry. Yue Xin has taken note of this matter. Hundred Treasures Pavilion does have some channels and connections abroad. I will send a message immediately after I return to keep an eye out for the news about Howling Moon Spirit Deer's antlers."
Lan Yuexin had almost no hesitation and solemnly agreed immediately.
"Once discovered, I will purchase it for you as soon as possible."
She spoke firmly and not only agreed to help and pay attention, her attitude was extremely positive.
"In this way, Miss Yue Xin has taken the trouble. Fang Mou thanks you in advance."
Fang Han took in Lan Yuexin's sincerity and determination and raised his glass.
"You're welcome."
Lan Yuexin smiled brightly and raised a glass to greet him.
The tea is flowing, and the aroma of tea in the carriage is mixed with Sandalwood Incense, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
On the official road, the huge caravan continued to move forward slowly in the designated direction. The wheels rolled over the ancient road, leaving deep tracks.
