Chapter 13 Mysterious Heavenly Fragrance
"Be bold!"
Along with loud shouts, fierce fighting sounds came from outside the front hall.
"Ji Quan, protect His Highness!"
Qin Qiong gave a loud shout and rushed out of the front hall in an instant, with murderous intent flowing all over his body.
The moment he rushed out, a sharp black arrow flew in from the front hall door.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Qin Qiong shouted, and the diamond mace in his hand swept out and hit the black arrow.
Click!
The black sharp arrow was smashed directly, making a crisp sound, and the sharp arrow that was smashed in half fell to the ground.
At this time, eight Xuanwu guards outside the door rushed in. Qin Qiong and Xia Houwei simultaneously stepped in front of Lu Fan.
Fortunately, the eight Xuanwu guards stopped immediately. The leader knelt down on one knee and said to Lu Fan:
"Your Highness, the mysterious man who came to attack has escaped. Please punish him!"
"It's okay, get up!"
Lu Fan waved his hand carelessly, his eyes falling on the black sharp arrow that was broken into two pieces.
"Huh!"
Lu Fan screamed in surprise, squatted down and picked up the black arrow that was broken into two pieces.
"Lord, be careful of the poison."
When Qin Qiong wanted to stop it, Lu Fan had already picked it up. Fortunately, nothing happened.
I saw a rolled up note stuck inside the hollow arrow body.
Lu Fan took out the note and opened it, only to see sixteen tiny characters written on it.
Hanyang is dangerous, so be careful!
In critical moments, Tianxiang can be avoided!
Looking at these sixteen small characters, Lu Fan suddenly frowned and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.
The mysterious man just now was not a killer, but sent a message to himself in this way.
But who will be the messenger?
While frowning and thinking, Lu Fan stood up, dropped the short arrow, and held the note in his palm.
"Stand back!"
"promise!"
The eight Xuanwu guards clasped their fists and saluted, and then returned to stand guard outside the front hall.
Lu Fan handed the note in his hand to Wang Hun, who read it and passed it to Qin Qiong and Xia Houwei.
The three of them read it one after another and passed it back to Lu Fan. Lu Fan used his spiritual power to shatter the note and then looked at Wang Hun.
"Xuan Chong, what do you think about this matter?"
"My lord, judging from this note alone, this person is a friend rather than an enemy, but... I am afraid that someone will use this to confuse His Highness."
Speaking of this, Wang Hun paused briefly and said: "In addition, the word Tianxiang is extremely famous."
Tianxiang Tower is a famous top restaurant, and it exists in every city with that name.
Not only the Daqian Dynasty, but also Tianxiang Restaurant existed in other dynasties, and it was known as the best restaurant in the world.
Tianxiang Garden, a famous luxury brothel, was spread throughout all major dynasties like Tianxiang Tower, and was known as the best gold-selling cave in the world.
Tianxiang Pavilion, a well-known comprehensive trading house, is also located in all major dynasties, dealing in all kinds of rare treasures, martial arts, and miraculous medicines.
As long as you can afford the price, you can buy any treasure you want, and it is known as the best trading house in the world.
And these three behemoths all have the word Tianxiang, and it is rumored that these three families belong to the same force.
It's a pity that no one can verify this news. We only know that these three behemoths have collected countless wealth in the world.
It's not that no one or force has had an interest in them, but those people and forces were all wiped out quietly.
Because of this, the word Tianxiang is widely known. Even Wang Hun, who was born in a small town in the mountains, also knows the reputation of Tianxiang.
When Wang Hun finished speaking, Qin Qiong and Xia Houwei beside them also nodded solemnly.
They have also heard of these three forces with the word Tianxiang, and are well aware of the horror of this force.
Looking at the slightly solemn expressions of the three of them, Lu Fan raised his eyebrows and said calmly:
"Don't think about it. Whether it's an enemy or a friend, you'll know when you get to Hanyang."
Although the situation in Hanyang County was extremely dangerous and complicated, he was not afraid.
The ten civil servants and generals and three thousand golden fire cavalry he summoned were his confidence.
Even if Hanyang County is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, he will flatten it.
After the words fell, Lu Fan looked at Zhang Hu: "Zhang Hu, tomorrow morning you will lead some guards to the city lord's mansion to maintain order."
"promise!"
"Ji Quan, Xuan Chong, people will come to sign up to join the army tomorrow morning. You two will be responsible for screening and selecting a hundred strong young people to accompany them on the road."
"promise!"
After arranging all this, Lu Fan sent Zhang Hu away, followed by Xia Houwei and Wang Hun.
With Qin Qiong here, they were not worried about Lu Fan's safety.
After everyone left, Qin Qiong couldn't help but said: "My lord, the people in this city have ordinary talents and average cultivation. I'm afraid they are too weak to recruit them to form personal guards."
"Haha... This is the effect I want, at least for the time being."
Lu Fan smiled mysteriously without explaining much, which made Qin Qiong even more curious.
"Let's go and take a walk around the city lord's mansion to see if there is anything good."
After saying that, he got up and walked out of the front hall, followed closely by Qin Qiong.
The eight Xuanwu Guards wanted to follow, but were sent away to rest by Lu Fan.
After all, these eight guys were sent by his cheap father, so Lu Fan naturally had no trust in them.
Just let them serve as tools at critical moments.
Although Pingchuan City is very barren, the city lord's mansion is not shabby at all, and is even extremely luxurious.
Nothing can be seen in front, but behind the city lord's mansion are rockeries, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, which are too luxurious to look like.
Looking at these, Lu Fan couldn't help but snorted coldly: "This city lord is more comfortable than this prince."
Thinking about the miserable life of his predecessor in the palace, he felt a little indignant.
But that was in the past... things like that will never happen again.
The two of them strolled along the way and soon came to the backyard of the city lord's mansion, where there was a separate courtyard.
Compared to other places in the city lord's mansion, the atmosphere here is a bit cold, or gloomy, making people feel uncomfortable.
Lu Fan was about to push the door to enter the courtyard, but Qin Qiong took the lead and blocked him, looking solemn:
"Lord, be careful, something seems to be wrong!"
Qin Qiong flicked his fingers and shot out several spiritual lights to attack the courtyard gate.
Just when these spiritual lights were about to attack the courtyard gate, a transparent protective shield appeared out of thin air.
Bang...
All the spiritual lights shot out by Qin Qiong were blocked by this transparent protective shield.
A few ripples flashed on the protective shield, and it soon returned to normal without any damage.
"My lord, it's a formation barrier! There is indeed something wrong in this courtyard!"
Qin Qiong looked solemn, but Lu Fan showed a curious look on his face.
The formation barrier is not a rare thing, but it is a bit abnormal to appear in the backyard of this small Pingchuan City Lord's Mansion.
"Shubao, can you break it?"
"My lord, step back a little and watch me break this formation barrier."
Lu Fan nodded and stepped back about seven or eight meters. Qin Qiong pulled out two diamond maces from his back and jumped forward.
"Break!"
Accompanied by a loud shout.
The two diamond maces burst out with dazzling golden light and smashed directly into the formation barrier that covered the entire courtyard...
