Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu were originally two War Gods in the Divine Realm, fighting side by side! Gu Nianchen had always buried his love deep in his heart, not daring to easily reveal it.
Ba...
"You dare!" The man in black showed up and planned to take action himself because he didn't want the wolf pack to suffer any more casualties.
They knew that the wolves' status in their master's heart was much higher than that of these deadpools.
Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu attacked with all their strength, and soon only one leader of the men in black was left, who was also seriously injured.
Bai Luoyu turned around to help the three people from the escort agency deal with the wolves. Soon, all the wolves were silent!
The three men from the escort agency were covered in wounds of varying sizes, but their faces showed resolute expressions and their bodies stood straight.
Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu both admired these three strong men.
"Thank you two young men for saving our lives!" After the three of them said this, they clasped their fists and knelt on one knee to express their gratitude.
"You're welcome, please stand up, all three of you!" Gu Nianchen returned the greeting.
Then he turned to look at the dying man in black on the ground and said, "Tell me, who is your master?"
"I won't tell you." The man in black said weakly.
Gu Nianchen slapped the man in black on the head. The man's head tilted and blood gushed out of his mouth. He died.
"You often escort goods, have you ever heard of such a wolf pack?" Gu Nianchen asked the three people.
"Young man, my name is Jiang Chao, and I'm the chief escort of Longcheng Escort Agency. This time we are escorting someone to Yangcheng. We originally didn't plan to take this route, but because time is very tight, we have to take this route." Jiang Chao said.
Bai Luoyu was confused. Does this have anything to do with what Gu Nianchen asked?
Jiang Chao knew that Bai Luoyu was a little anxious, so he smiled and continued, "There's a tacit understanding in our industry that escorts are not allowed in Yucheng. It's fine for you to come here, but if you escort, you'll almost lose both you and your cargo!"
"Why?" Bai Luoyu couldn't help but ask.
"Rumor has it that there is a mysterious big man in Yucheng who has the ability to drive wolves. He is not interested in anything else and only likes gold, silver and jewelry." Jiang Chao said cautiously.
The direction of these words was actually very clear. If Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu had not saved their lives, he would never have said this.
"I understand. What are you going to do next?" Gu Nianchen looked at the injuries of several people and the escort vehicles, which were not something they could deal with right now.
"I have sent someone back to pass on the message that other brothers will bring people to support us. But the losses this time are really too great. I also found a few masters, but I didn't expect that it was thanks to you two that I was able to barely save my life." Jiang Chao looked at the miserable situation around him with bitterness.
"Okay, these are medicines for internal and external injuries. You guys take care of your injuries, we're leaving." Gu Nianchen took out two medicine bottles and handed them to Jiang Chao.
"Well...may I ask your names, gentlemen? Jiang Chao will definitely repay you in the future." Jiang Chao knelt down again to express his gratitude.
"No need, see you later." Gu Nianchen took Bai Luoyu and walked towards the direction where they dismounted.
Jiang Chao looked at the two men's backs and thought that it would not be long before these two young men would become famous throughout the mainland.
"Are we leaving just like this?" Bai Luoyu couldn't help but ask after walking for a while.
"Or do you want to stay and roast some wolf meat?" Gu Nianchen turned around and asked.
"That's a good idea!" Bai Luoyu smiled, his eyes rolled, and he seemed to be thinking about it carefully.
"Little fool, let's go!" Gu Nianchen patted Bai Luoyu gently, got on his horse and left.
"Wait for me!" Bai Luoyu looked at Gu Nianchen's back and quickly got on his horse to chase after him.
Gu Nianchen took Bai Luoyu directly into Yucheng and found an inn to stay in.
Gu Nianchen called the waiter and ordered some food to be delivered to the room.
After the waiter left, Bai Luoyu lay down on the bed. "Ah, it's been a while since I last played. Today was really fun. It's just that we were late. Otherwise, so many of Jiang Biaotou's men wouldn't have died."
At this point, Bai Luoyu stood up again: "Who do you think is the one who raised the wolf? That's really too much. A gentleman should earn money in a proper way. Killing and robbing is truly damnable."
"Yeah!" Gu Nianchen put his hands behind his back and looked at the pedestrians outside the window. This Yucheng was really just as the rumors said. There were very few pedestrians and most of them had accents from other places. There were not many shops either.
I thought back to when I first entered the city, I saw that the houses in the outer city were all in a dilapidated state, and I wondered how such a big city could be managed like this.
"What are you thinking about? Gu Nianchen, don't you plan to investigate this matter further?" Bai Luoyu ran to Gu Nianchen and looked at him with wide eyes.
He wanted to investigate, but he still had to listen to Gu Nianchen. As long as Gu Nianchen made the decision, there must be a reason for it, and he had to listen.
"Of course I have to check. I'll take you out to play tonight!" Gu Nianchen pinched Bai Luoyu's little nose.
"Really? That's great!" Bai Luoyu jumped up happily.
"Jump gently, this is the second floor!" Gu Nianchen quickly stopped an overly excited child.
"Oh, hehe!" Bai Luoyu covered his mouth and laughed.
"Sir, the food is ready." The waiter's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in!" Gu Nianchen said.
The waiter had brought all the food to the table and was about to leave when Gu Nianchen called out, "Waiter, I have something I want to know. Is that convenient?"
Gu Nianchen said as he took out a silver ingot and looked at the waiter with a smile.
"It's convenient, sir, please feel free to ask." When the waiter saw such a silver ingot, his eyes almost popped out and he quickly ran over to take the silver with both hands.
When I got it, I looked at it carefully to see if I was dreaming.
"Has there been any strange things happening in Yucheng in recent years? My brother and I like to hear strange stories. If you tell them well, there will be rewards!" said Gu Nianchen.
Bai Luoyu also came over to listen.
"Strange things? The strangest thing is that we have been getting poorer and poorer in recent years. Other cities don't like to deal with our Yucheng. Rumor has it that there is a wolf monster nearby. As long as there is a passing caravan or escort vehicle, they will be attacked by the wolf monster. It's strange that the wolf monster doesn't eat people, but the gold and silver treasures will disappear. So the big merchants dare not come to do business!" The waiter spoke vividly, with exaggerated movements and expressions.
"When did it start?" Gu Nianchen continued to ask.
"It was probably around five years ago when the new city lord took office." The waiter said casually, but then he felt something was wrong: "That's not what I meant, sir, please don't misunderstand me, it's about these few years!"
The waiter's panic further illustrates the problem.
Seeing this, Gu Nianchen took out another ingot of silver and asked, "Is the old city lord still alive?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment and said, "Hey, it's said that the new city lord is grateful for the old city lord's kindness and has been taking care of the old city lord. Occasionally, the old city lord is also seen participating in some sacrificial activities."
Gu Nianchen got the answer he wanted and put the silver into the waiter's hand.
The waiter couldn't stop laughing, and Gu Nianchen raised his eyebrows!
"Sir, you didn't ask anything today, so I know nothing." The waiter said tactfully, and then he made a gesture to seal his mouth and left the room.
