Chapter 23
''Special series of tasks: branch one (completed).

Branch task [-]: Find the third prince and give him the things. (The task rewards the fourth to sixth levels of the Nine Suns Divine Art. If it fails, the series of tasks will fail.) Note: During the task, the brocade box will not be able to be placed in the inventory.

Branch task three: not open

Looking at the mission that popped up again, Lu Yu was also speechless. He couldn't put it in the inventory.

And who these three princes are, he doesn't know at all, should he go directly to the people from the Jiwu Dynasty? The people from the Jiwu Dynasty that Lu Yu saw now are the previous five people, and obviously four of them are dead.

The last person is definitely not a good guy, so let him go to the Jiwu Dynasty for this task, but according to the past merchants, the Jiwu City, the headquarters of the Jiwu Dynasty, is 300 miles away.

I thought to myself, 'Forget it, let's forget about this task, I haven't learned the first three levels of Jiuyang Divine Art yet. '

Lu Yu also simply went back to his room, raised a piece of the floor in his room, and hid the mirror box first, so that he could rest assured for a while, knowing that other people damaged the inn items by hand, he would know immediately.

The night passed like this. In the early morning, Zhu Cong felt a little restless. Sure enough, when he stood at the counter and saw Lu Yu at first glance, he felt that the other party had some malicious intentions.

After some narration, Zhu Cong was also appointed, and he was sent to do such things as stealth after only a few days, not to mention that according to Lu Yu, the place he was going to was not that simple.

But who made him the boss, and Lu Yu repeatedly assured that his life would not be in danger, so Zhu Cong didn't say much. After all, his life was waiting to see those who killed his brothers and sisters die in front of him. .

It's just that if he knew the specific meaning of not being in danger of his life, then he probably would try his best to find Lu Yu to reason about it.

The sky was only dim, and it was still early to open the shop. Usually no one would come at this time. Lu Yu told Li Xiaozui to wait in the lobby, and went out first by himself.

According to Lu Yu's childhood memories here, the post station was quite prosperous, because it was connected to several important trade routes, and it was also the center of several major cities around it.

Although he had memories when he was a child, he was a fool. At this time, he remembered that such a prosperous inn was gone.

Looking at the somewhat desolate post station, Lu Yu was full of thoughts for a while, wondering when it would be able to restore the bustling scene of the past.

When he came to the wooden house he built in his spare time, Lu Yu also knew that this was the most likely task to be completed quickly, and the dishes rewarded by the task would undoubtedly speed up the progress of branch task one.

As Li Xiaozui used the Shiquan Roast Duck recipe again, the progress of the task suddenly became 2/10, which is also very consistent with Lu Yu's guess. Almost as long as the dishes are rewarded by the system, they don't need to be satisfied by the customers. In other words, almost all customers are satisfied.

It is said that there are still more than 5 months, but an inexplicable sense of crisis has been lingering in his heart since yesterday, so he has to speed up his pace to make himself stronger.

Solving the problem of residents is actually very simple. In this chaotic world of martial arts, various forces are hostile to each other, and various bandits and bandits emerge in endlessly. As the lowest level of society, the village naturally needs a safe place to live.

From the current point of view, since there is a bandit den at the foot of the mountain [-] miles away, the nearby villages must be frequently invaded. For some reason, if the nominal owner of this piece of land ignores it, Then it was exactly what he wanted.

However, Lu Yu has no plans to attack the bandit den. Wouldn’t it be courting death to go alone? Who knows how many people there are in the bandit den? Anyone can kill him.

So this bandit has become his target for the time being. As long as he guarantees the safety of the surrounding villagers, he will definitely be able to attract some people who believe in him, and the task requires only one person.

Lu Yu also understood Li Xiaozui's nature by now. As long as there were no major incidents, it is expected that there would be no major troubles if the inn was temporarily left to him alone.

Lu Yu decided to go to the nearby villages to check first. Although he didn't know where there were villages nearby, he remembered that the old woodcutter who ran away when he saw him always went in one direction every time.

It has to be said that this ancient road is difficult to walk, and it is no wonder that once the official road is diverted, almost all the gathering places of human life in the surrounding area will be affected.

Didn't you see that it took only a while, and Lu Yu had already passed through two forests, one large and one small, and he began to doubt whether the old man was going in this direction after all.

The traffic is almost all in the woods, why does the old man have to come here to chop firewood, if he is not idle.

But he had no clue, so he could only move forward with his head covered, hoping that his luck would not be too bad. Lu Yu decided to walk for one more time to burn incense, and if there was no one in front of him, he would change direction.

As the saying goes, there must be a way for a car to reach the mountain, and such a trail appeared in front of Lu Yu's eyes, just as he passed through a forest again.

"I'll go, this kid can find all of this, it's really a heroic soul."

A familiar voice came from not far away from Lu Yu. Lu Yu quickly turned around and saw that the old man who was planning to go out to chop wood secretly stood on tiptoe and prepared to turn around and leave quietly.

It's just that Lu Yu was not the same Lu Yu when he saw the old man for the first time, so the old man's movements naturally couldn't escape his eyes.

There was a small smile on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself, "This old man is really interesting, but because he tricked him once, he just avoided him like this." '

"You should have not noticed me, otherwise you would have caught up with me a long time ago. This kid is not a good guy. Run away when you are almost done." The old man listened to the situation behind him while walking. When he heard no sound, he turned back. After taking a look, he found that the person was gone, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But just when he was about to spread his arms and run, he only heard a voice suddenly appearing in front of him, and when he looked back, his heart almost didn't break out.

"Hey, Master? Are you looking for me?" Lu Yu said jokingly.

It's a pity that when the old man heard the sound of the master, it undoubtedly had a huge lethality, and he was frightened to the ground all of a sudden, "Don't come over to you, if you want to chop down trees, the old man will help you, and don't hurt me."

When Lu Yu saw it, he immediately put away his playful thoughts. How could this scare people like this, he was a little puzzled.

"Old man, you misunderstood. I just saw you and wanted to thank you for helping me cut down trees last time. There is no other meaning. It's just that you ran away whenever you saw me, and I didn't have this opportunity." Lu Yu explained.

Hearing this, the old man slowly raised his head, and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure it's just to thank me? It's not anything else."

Lu Yu immediately sensed that the old man was in such a state, and there must be something else going on, otherwise he would not have been able to scare him into being like this.

"Really, as you said, I am a scholar, how can a scholar lie to others." Even Lu Yu himself did not believe this sentence.

Sure enough, when the old man heard about the scholar, he was filled with indignation and said: "Bah, you bastard scholar, if it weren't for that bastard, how could we be in such misery?"

Lu Yu also helped the old man up first. The old man was also a person who had experienced it. Seeing that Lu Yu didn't look like a bad guy, he might have been too sensitive before.

"Young man, don't think about getting ahead after you have some knowledge, and in the end, when things go wrong, you even go to join those bad guys." The old man who sat down was full of emotion.

Maybe it's because I've been holding back for a long time, the old man talked too much today, and Lu Yu listened patiently.

It turned out that the old man was originally a villager in a nearby village, but now the village has long since lost its name. Most of the people were captured by the bandits, and some who resisted were directly killed.

Although the original bandits occasionally came back to loot, they also knew that they were poor, so they occasionally came to forcibly collect some money and food.

It's just that since that person went up the mountain with this group of bandits, the group of bandits has changed, and it has become a bit incomprehensible to these village names who don't know the world.

The bandit village started to build a lot of construction, so everyone in the village became a labor force. Only he and his wife escaped the catastrophe by going out for something. Maybe this was a kind of luck, but it was also a kind of misfortune, because they met later. When they came back to look for their son again, they realized that this bad idea was given by his son.

They rejected their son's kindness, jokes, can this be considered good intentions, the old man immediately severed the father-son relationship with him, and his son finally left angrily, even saying that they don't understand the world.

Lu Yu also sighed when he heard it, "Oh, it's so miserable, so miserable that I feel a little surprised." '

Lu Yu can only say that the things on TV are not necessarily all false, and such a tragedy has been encountered by him now, but this way he can invite the old man and the others to live in the inn more easily.

The old man had gone so far to cut firewood to avoid those bandits and bandits, but now he saw that Lu Yu sincerely invited him and his wife to live there.

Thinking that it would be safer over there, he felt a little worried about leaving his wife alone at home every day. Jackals would always come and go in this barren mountain, so he didn't refuse immediately.
