Chapter 22 (1/2)
afternoon.
Xu Ning returned to taojiazhuang with the cut leopard fur.
Outside taojia village, I haven't got close yet.
Xu Ning suddenly saw a team galloping out of the taojia villa.
They wear black armour and black clothes, and wear short swords and long knives around their waist.
From a distance, their movements were neat and uniform, and their horses kept exactly the same speed.
At first glance, it gives people a strong sense of oppression.
”Is this... Black armor?”
Xu Ning looked puzzled.
The last time I followed Tao Yun into the city to escort the car, he saw a team of black armour guards.
Now goodbye, Xu Ning confirmed each other's identity at a glance.
”What did heijiawei do in taojiazhuang?”
The predecessor lived in taojiazhuang for several years and never saw the black armour guard come to the door.
”Is there something big happening recently?”
Xu Ning guessed and came to no conclusion.
Soon, he came to the fence gate at the gate of taojiazhuang.
There are guards in the villa patrolling and guarding back and forth.
”Xu Ning is back. What's the harvest this time?”
As soon as Xu Ning came over, a big man with a beard greeted him with a smile.
Xu Ning is about to leave the village and enter the mountain almost every other day. He has recognized his face with the guard at the door. In addition, the story of helping Tao Yungang defeat Zhan Sandao has spread. More and more people in the village have heard of and know him.
”I harvested a leopard skin.”
Xu Ning also replied with a smile: ”it's a pity that I shot several holes in the leopard skin with an arrow, and the products are quite different.”
”That's also good. It's much better than those of us who stand guard.”
The guard laughed, admiring Xu Ning in his tone.
Most of the guards patrolling and standing guard in taojiazhuang are ordinary people, and only a few have cultivated their external and internal skills.
Their daily work only plays a vigilant role, so they earn less.
”By the way, brother, I saw a team of people coming out of the villa just now. It looks like a black armour guard?”
Xu Ning listened.
”Yes, it's black armour.”
The guard said, ”we were all shocked when they came. We had never seen the black armor guard come to the door before. They said they wanted to see the clan leader, but we didn't dare to neglect it. We gave a notice and let them go when they were promised.”
”What are black armour guards doing in the villa?”
Xu Ning asked.
”I don't know...”
The guard shook his head, obviously unclear.
”Well...”
Xu Ning heard the speech and stopped questioning.
After a short gossip, Xu Ning went directly to the hunting shop in the village and sold the leopard skin.
……
Old clan hall.
At this time, nearly ten people were sitting in the hall.
They all look very old. The youngest one has half silver hair on his head.
Everyone seems to have their own aura. They are obviously good martial arts players.
These people are the top decision-making members of taojiazhuang and the elders of Taoshi.
”It's all here?”
Sitting on the top is a hale and hearty old man.
Although it was early winter, he still wore a thin shirt, and the forearm exposed from the cuffs still had an obvious muscle contour.
He is the contemporary patriarch of taojiazhuang, Tao Jingxing.
”It's all here.”
The old people sitting below were sitting upright and looked at Tao Jingxing.
”I called you here to tell you something.”
Tao Jingxing's voice was not loud, but he brought his own pressure: ”just now, in Kangyun County, heijiawei Du Wei Xia Yuanxing came to the village and met me.”
