Last time he mentioned: Madame Bai is worried about Jiang Cheng's safety, and hopes that Lei Jin can make a trip to the capital. Lei Jin was worried about his own manor, and hesitated.

In the early morning of the next day, Lei Jin summoned all the servants and maids of the house and arranged many matters. After everything was settled, he went to see the Madame Bai.

At the moment, Little Jiang Feng was playing with his mother. Lei Jin knocked on the door as the Madame Bai called for him.

"Madam, your subordinate is also worried about your safety. I was up all night last night, so I still followed your advice. Today, I will make a trip to the capital." Lei Jin reported.

"Really? "That would be great." The Madame Bai said joyfully.

"Yes, ma'am, this subordinate has come to say goodbye. Everything in the manor will be done according to the rules, so you don't have to worry too much about it. They've been familiar with it for more than a year, so there won't be any big problems. " Lei Jin replied respectfully.

"Mm, that's good."

"I will set off immediately. As soon as I hear from the lord, I will definitely send someone to report back. As for Master, I will do my best to protect you. Please take care, Madam and Young Master. "

"Manager Lei, with you going, how can I not be worried?" The Madame Bai smiled.

"Thank you Madam for your trust. If there are no other important matters, then I will take my leave first."

"Manager Lei, wait."

Lei Jin who had already retreated to the door turned back.

The Madame Bai pointed at the "Cold Iron Silver Lance" leaning against the wall and said seriously: "Manager Lei, please bring my husband's weapon along with you."

"Madam, didn't the lord say before he left that he wouldn't bring any weapons to prevent people from talking?"

"Aren't you safe and sound if you bring it with you?"

Lei Jin suddenly understood and nodded in agreement, then said: "Madam is right, then I will bring this' Cold Iron Silver Lance 'along with me."

"Manager Lei, be careful."

"Thank you Madam!" Lei Jin said goodbye.

"Thunder uncle, Thunder uncle, after you meet father, can you deliver a message for Feng?" The Little Jiang Feng skipped over to Lei Jin like a rabbit in spring looking for food, looking extremely cute and adorable.

"Of course, what message would young master like to bring?"

"Just say it, Feng misses father so much."

"Definitely."

"Thank you, Thunder uncle."

"Madam, the Young Master really knows what's good for him." Lei Jin looked at Little Jiang Feng and untied the tensed expression on his face.

"Yes, Chief Steward Lei needs to bring more of these along with him on the road."

"Thank you Madam, your subordinate will." Lei Jin bade his farewell again.

After the time it took for an incense to burn had passed, Lei Jin packed his bag and walked out of the Jiang's Mansion gate. He took the gray horse from the servant and said: "You can go back now. Don't be careless."

"Yes, Manager Lei."

Within the Jiang's Mansion, there were times when Manager Lei was even more terrifying than Lord Jiang. At least, this was what these servants thought.

Lei Jin spurred his horse forward and rode along the small road out of Hangzhou City.

Not far away from the city, they saw a group of peddlers with two people pushing a cart behind them. There were four people walking in the middle with the leader leading the group. Lei Jin rode past them and subconsciously reined the horse.

The group of merchants saw that the person in front of them was unfamiliar, his expression also carried hostility, the leader turned his head, saw that the cart had stopped, then looked at Lei Jin who was deep in thought, and asked: "I wonder what can I do for you, brother?"

"Oh, it's nothing. May I ask if you are heading for Hangzhou?"

"We were just passing by. We are merchants who came to the Central Plains to sell medicinal ingredients. The boxes all contain expensive medicinal ingredients." There were only these two boxes left after running all the way here. "If there is a lord in Hangzhou who is willing to buy them all, we can stop our work and go back to our village. If there is still a surplus, we can only continue to head south." The leader of the group slowly introduced.

"So that's how it is. But I see that you are a strange person, not like the typical merchants and travelers!" Lei Jin revealed his suspicions.

"Haha, brother, you're overthinking it. This is the first time we've come to the Central Plains from the outside to do business. Without any unique techniques to defend ourselves, I'm afraid we're going to fall into your trap and suffer a great loss. What do you say?" The leader deliberately wore a face full of smiles.

Lei Jin thought: There is some truth in his words, in that case, I am not an official and have no right to ask, but they are merchants, and do not have any weapons on them, so I will just let them go, it is more important that I immediately enter the capital.

"Brother, brother. If there is nothing else, we need to hurry on our way. We will be leaving first." Seeing that Lei Jin did not react, the man in the lead shouted.

"Oh, I'm fine now. I also have something to attend to, so it's inconvenient to chat about it. Goodbye." With that, Lei Jin whipped his horse and left.

Seeing Lei Jin leaving, one of the peddlers asked: "Big brother, that person just questioned us like that, why didn't you take action and finish him off?"

"What do you think we're here for?"

"Aren't they here to kill people? If one is killing, so are the other two. This fellow is so long-winded, why can't he kill him? "

"A bunch of boorish men!" Hangzhou is just ahead. If we kill someone now and attract their attention, do you think we will be able to accomplish anything important? For a fellow who doesn't know his place, if you screw up our plan, is it worth it? " The leader reprimanded.

"Yes, yes. Big Bro has considered it thoroughly."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Since that person saw through my martial arts just now, do you think I can't see through his technique? Since he's an expert, why would he harm our energy? Even until now, I still have internal injuries from Jiang Cheng's last strike. " The leader muttered with a ferocious expression on his face. With a wave of his hand, he signaled everyone to move forward.

"Big Brother, after entering the city, what should we do?"

"First find an inn to stay at and let me eat and drink to my heart's content, then immediately rest. When it's deep into the night, you can listen to my arrangements. "

"Yes, big brother." The few people said in unison.

When entering the city, the leader stuffed some silver into the hands of the defending army. This was after all, not an important place in the capital, and in addition to the fact that Jiang Cheng had already led his troops to clear out the nearby bandits half a year ago. Since the defenders had gained a lot of benefits, they naturally wouldn't carefully inspect the contents of the carts.

The group of seven found an inn to stay in and asked for seven of the best rooms. After tying up the carts with reins, they put them in the stable. The leader of the group ordered a table of delicious food, then immediately brought out a chair and a stool to eat inside the room.

After eating their fill, the leader said, "Now that we have eaten and drank our fill, everyone has gotten tired from the journey these past few days. Tonight, we might have something important to do, so let's all go back to our respective rooms."

"Then what about you, big brother?" A person stood up and asked.

"I don't want to explore the way?" the leader asked.

"Big brother doesn't need to personally go to such a small thing like this. I'll go."

"Humph, don't be so long-winded. There is no way we can lose if we don't have a chance to repeat this." I will personally investigate, and only then will I be able to guarantee that there will be no mistakes. " The leader was very insistent on this matter.

"Alright, since Big Bro has said so, then all of you, disperse."

The leader walked out of the door with his hands behind his back, as if nothing had happened.

"Brother Song, with how calm our brother is, he must be someone who can accomplish great things!"

"Stop with your blabbering here, big brother is awe-inspiring and majestic, is there even a need to say it? As for us, we can't drag brother down. The success or failure of this matter will directly affect our sect's status in the capital. "My brother came from outside and was willing to take the risk. This kind of courage is exactly what you and I need to learn."

"Brother Song is right, but even if we get support, I'm afraid that the biggest gang in the capital, the Sky Dragon Gang, will still find trouble with us."

"Of course, that will be arranged later. Big Brother will not let everyone be humiliated."

"That's only natural, Brother Song, we'll go back to our rooms to rest first."

"Yeah, I need to rest too."

Let us not talk about the current location of the Jiang's Mansion for the time being. As it turned out, the difference in Jiang's Mansion was not that huge, and was as different as the sky and the earth compared to the palaces of officials and nobles within the capital. He thought to himself, "I didn't expect him to be an official. Hehe, but it's a pity. Being too honest will always offend a lot of people." If one was in the martial arts world, he or she could not control himself. If he or she didn't know how to move with the flow, he or she would be struck down by these shockwaves and be lost in the fate of the world.

The leader pretended to be fine and walked around the Jiang's Mansion twice. Afterwards, he walked into an alley not far away and, using the method of "Gecko Travelling the Wall", went up to the roof of a tall building. He bent down to inspect it, and firmly engraved the circumstances of the Jiang's Mansion in his heart.

After some investigation, the leader leaned back against the tile. His eyes were slightly open as he enjoyed the gentle feeling of the golden sunlight scattering all over his body. Who knew what the heavens would feel tomorrow? Maybe she would cry over the tragedy that was about to happen. Perhaps, perhaps …

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.
