Chapter 741 Dark Fragrance Hall
Although falconers were not that unusual in the arena, they still attracted a wave of attention, so everyone quickly moved from the dock to a nearby inn.
After asking the waiter for a private room on the second floor, Yang Yiyi opened the letter.
There wasn't much in the letter, but Yang Yiyi suddenly frowned as she read it.
"Sister Ning said that they encountered a group of bad guys not long ago, who seemed to be intercepting letters. She also said it was called Anxiang Hall, and asked me to be more careful."
"Is it really Anxiang Hall?"
Zhou Wenyi took the letter and read it:
"This Anxiang Hall is not an easy character to deal with. You need to be more careful in the future."
Anxiangtang is an organization that specializes in doing dirty work. No one knows how many members this gang has, and no one knows where the chief helm is.
Their main job is to help kill people. You give them money and I do the work.
But unlike ordinary killers, you won't be able to find them if you want to ask them for help. Usually Anxiangtang will find you specifically. Their intelligence is also very well-informed and they know when to show up in front of big clients.
It's hard to comment on the level of skill. The main reason is that the way to attack is hard to detect. You can even customize the target's death method if you give him a lot of money. In short, if you have enough money, everything can be said.
There are three no-kills in Anxiang Hall: no killing of children, no killing of orphans, and no killing of court officials. Other than that, there are no restrictions.
It would be quite troublesome to be targeted by them, but Ning Xianer is not afraid because of her superb martial arts skills. She is mainly worried about Yang Yiyi.
Wu Shaoyi also read the letter and then said:
"I heard that Anxiang Hall has suffered heavy losses recently and seems to be disappearing. Do they still have any remaining strength?"
"It's hard to say. Anxiangtang has been attacked by the righteous way of martial arts several times, but it always comes back. When eating from now on, let me test the poison first. If it's okay, you can eat again."
Zhou Wenyi belongs to the old world. He has heard about the news that Anxiang Hall was destroyed four or five times, but to no avail every time.
It stands to reason that not many people knew that Yang Yiyi was delivering letters for Ning Xianer. If Anxiangtang really wanted to intercept the letters, they would not be able to find Yang Yiyi.
But considering that many people know that Yang Yiyi and Ning Xianer have a good relationship, there is no guarantee that they will cause trouble.
In short, you can’t go wrong with being careful.
Just as he was talking about this, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the private room.
This made everyone alert, and several Qijue disciples with Zhou Wenyi touched their waist weapons one after another.
Just after talking about Anxiang Hall, there is a sudden knock on the door. Of course, I will be nervous.
"Maybe it's the waiter. Nephew Yang, please be careful when opening the door."
Yang Yiyi nodded. She was closest to the door, walked to the side and slowly opened the door.
Secretly taking a peek along the crack of the door, Yang Yiyi was stunned on the spot.
"Uh...Ms. Tang?"
Outside the door, Tang Lianyu led two maids and said with a smile:
"Nvxia Yang, we meet again."
I met Tang Lianyu once before entering southern Xinjiang, but unexpectedly I met again in a small town more than ten days away from the border.
After a quick glance outside to make sure there was no one else, Yang Yiyi opened the door and let Tang Lianyu in.
To be honest, Yang Yiyi was a little scared of Tang Lianyu, but not long ago, they just helped you enter southern Xinjiang to solve the problem of customs clearance documents. It would be too unkind to prevent people from entering.
Tang Lianyu came in and looked at the large table of people in the room. He didn't seem surprised. He bowed to Zhou Wenyi normally and said:
"Long time no see, Master Zhou."
"I asked who it was. It turned out to be Miss Tang. Please sit down quickly."
Tang Lianyu has a wide network of contacts. It can be said that he has acquaintances everywhere in the Central Plains.
In the past, Li Yingluo claimed to be a disciple of the Qijue Sect and wanted to get away with it. Tang Lianyu saw through her nonsense at a glance, just because she really knew people from the Qijue Sect.
After some polite greetings, Yang Yiyi asked the question she wanted to ask the most. "How did Miss Tang know that I was waiting here?"
"Because I just saw you on the dock."
If Yang Yiyi had paid more attention just now, he would have discovered that the big ship of Tang Feng Company was actually docked at the dock.
"On my father's orders, I specially bought grain and went to Quzhou. Yang Nuxia may not know something. There has been a famine in Quzhou recently. These grains are for the porridge shed."
It's no wonder that they met. Going to Quzhou and going to Qijuemen are in the same direction.
Hearing this, Zhou Wenyi cupped his hands and said: "Miss Tang is so righteous. If everyone is as sensible as Tang Feng Company, that would be great."
To put it bluntly, Tang Lianyu's ship was going to provide disaster relief. Although the food on one ship was only a drop in the bucket, it could save many people.
Tang Feng Company is so good at doing things, which is one of the reasons why they can expand to various countries in the Central Plains. Their reputation is definitely not bad.
A shipload of food doesn't cost much, but the reputation is there.
Yang Yiyi didn't understand the reason behind this, and just felt a little puzzled:
"Didn't the imperial court send people to provide disaster relief?"
"No matter how hard the imperial court tries, it will never be able to save the people from the disaster."
Tang Lianyu's words obviously meant something, but without explanation, he asked:
"I wonder where you guys plan to go, Master Zhou?"
"I'll wait to return to Qijuemen."
"That's good. If you can't find the boat, you can take our Tang Feng Company's boat instead."
Yang Yiyi immediately became alert upon hearing this.
She is straight, not stupid. Tang Lianyu is so positive, which always makes Yang Yiyi feel that she has ulterior motives.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
On the other side, Li Chengqi looked at the screen and was also thinking about Anxiang Hall.
I thought that delivering a letter to Ning Xianer was just a piece of cake, but unexpectedly another trouble popped up in the middle.
Yang Yiyi has a snow clam pill on her body (a gift from Qin Yan), which is said to be able to detoxify hundreds of poisons, so the problem of poisoning should not be big. If there is a sneak attack in the middle of the night, there will be a Naga guarding and watching, just in case there is a sudden ambush in the middle of the road.
Zhou Wenyi's martial arts is not weak, and Anxiangtang must know this. If he really wants to ambush, he will only do it when he is sure.
As for whether Tang Lianyu had ulterior motives, I didn't particularly care. Anyway, sitting on Tang Lianyu's boat, even if the people from Anxiang Hall wanted to make a sneak attack, they could only climb up the side of the boat, which was relatively safe.
But then again, Li Chengqi suddenly had the urge to drive the Manta to pick up Yang Yiyi and fly straight to Qijuemen to deliver the message.
——He hasn’t gotten over this addiction yet.
"Are you listening? We're almost at the scheduled location, ready for the next jump."
"I saw it, don't rush me."
Three screens are juxtaposed, showing the situation of three scripts respectively. As long as Li Chengqi does not need to concentrate particularly, he can see the situation of the three parties at the same time. It is much more convenient than setting up three laptops, and he does not even have to turn his head.
Since the route needs to bypass the Dead Sea, it requires multiple jumps to find a new route, and it cannot go directly through it.
It stands to reason that this is the job of the navigator, but now there is no navigator.
Fortunately, Fang Lanyin played a role beyond her job.
Cargo ships entering and exiting the Alan Star Chain also need to bypass the Sea of Death. As a native of the Alan Star Chain, Fang Lanyin knows how to circumvent this point. With her help, setting a new route is much easier than expected.
As Li Chengqi started the transition, after the Manta Ray escaped from the white light, a galaxy composed of a red giant star as its core appeared in front of us.
This place is called Hard's Corner and is the second stop in Alyssa's plan.
