The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 80. An Envoy
Lin Tian and Minghao resumed their journey after three days in the healer's house. It turned out that the poison in Lin Tian's body was so great that it had to force this young man to rest for that long in order for his body to return to normal.
"We're here!" lin Tian exclaimed as they arrived in front of a magnificent building.
"Who are you and what do you want?" asked a gatekeeper of the Xiao family residence in a fierce manner.
But Lin Tian remained calm and replied, "Tell Mister Xiao Li, Lin Tian has come to visit."
The guard seemed to be frowning. Instead of answering, he asked, "What is your relationship with the great Master?"
"Huh.difficult to explain, the point is that you will know when Mister Xiao Li meets me."
"What made me believe you? Who are you anyway? I've never seen you around this town, how did you get into town?" back the guard asked full of probes which had subconsciously made Lin Tian a little irritated.
"Much talk!! Hurry up you call Mister Xiao Li or I will break through with violence!!" snapped at Lin Tian who was already impatient. His words contained energy in the cold element to the point of making the guard shiver.
After nodding his head nervously and cheerfully, this fellow rushed into the residence to report.
"Hm.you're not usually this fierce. Is Miss's nature contagious to you?" minghao asked with a tingly feeling.
"Huh..you know this is an important task? After this we also have to go to White River City. That's why I don't want to linger just to argue with the guards." replied Lin Tian.
Shortly after, from the door of the large house, the guard appeared with three women and two men. They were none other than Xiao Li, Xiao Mei, Xiao Lian, Xiao Niu and Hao Yu. Once these four people heard the reports of his guards, they immediately went out to greet the old friend.
However, as soon as they arrived, they frowned looking at Lin Tian and Minghao in turn. Their eyes were suspicious and vigilant.
"Where is Lin Tian? I don't know you guys!" xao Li said coldly and was nodded by four other people.
"Oh...Mister Xiao, long time no see." replied Lin Tian who was familiar with the astonishment of the five people because he had never seen the mask. Seeing Lin Tian's attitude, Minghao also bowed in respect.
"Ah.you really are Lin Tian." Xiao Li said as he closed his eyes so surprised and excited to be visited by the old friend. The four others also revealed expressions that were not much different from the family leader.
"Sister Lin Tian!!" exclaiming Xiao Niu as usual, the moment he met the young man immediately jumped into his arms.
"Come, let's go in!" Xiao Li said while turning over his body.
"Sir..take a hold!!" chirped Xiao Niu with spoiled.
Lin Tian simply smiled behind his mask and directly raised the body of the little girl who was laughing out loud.
...****************...
"Hm.. Looking at its characteristics, is it true that you are what people call the Swordsman Ghost Fog?" xiao Li asked as soon as Lin Tian had already removed his mask.
"Yes, Sir."
"And this Master...The famous Sakti writer? Haha.I didn't think I could be given the chance to meet two great warriors!" Xiao Li laughed.
"It's also great that you're Lin Tian." this time Hao Yu commented.
"Not that great, you're praising too much. The point is, we both came here for some important business." Lin Tian said quickly, not wanting to waste too much time.
"Oh..Why is that?"
"Please accept this, Mr. Xiao." Lin Tian handed me a piece of red mail envelope and there was a stamp that read "Zhang".
With furrowed brows, Xiao Li received the letter. Flip through the cover of the letter to make a clearer picture of who the sender is.
"Zhangs? What's that supposed?" tanyanya's confused.
Lin Tian immediately replied, "The letter was sent by my Miss who became the leader of the Zhang Master Family. He sent the letter to file a deal with the Xiao family."
They looked even more puzzled, in their hearts muttering, "What is Lin Tian's relationship with this Zhang family?". But they just kept quiet.
Then with a curious heart, Xiao Li opened the cover of the letter and read it. His eyes moved right and left as soon as this man read carefully every word and sentence in the contents of the letter. Shortly after, he widened his eyes, looking very surprised.
"Of course it's me sir."
"What!??" they exclaimed in unison except Hao Yu who already knew the truth that Lin Tian was a personal bodyguard of a family.
"You..a bodyguard? How is it possible, someone as strong as you to be a bodyguard!?" this time Xiao Mei asked curiously.
"But reality is so Madam."
For a long time they could not move their mouths to speak so surprised to hear this reality. But Xiao Li was soon able to control himself and quickly said.
"I didn't think you were a young master of a large family, but it turned out to be a bodyguard. But no matter what, a friend will not think about the background of his family, the most important issue Lin Tian, about this deal I..." Xiao Li stopped his words before continuing
"I would love to be able to help your family, but this Stone City is in danger." he continued in a sad tone and ended with a long sigh.
"I'm sorry, what danger is it, sir? I also wonder why outsiders like the two of us aren't allowed in the city."
"Well, then where can you come here?" Xiao Li asked as he was only aware of this.
The two of them smiled and Lin Tian replied, "That's not really important Sir, obviously, please tell me what dangers threaten this Stone City. Maybe we can help and if possible, our Zhang family will also intervene."
"Well, there's no need for you to help Lin Tian, I've been troubling you too much. But I didn't tell you the problem so that the Zhang family would be careful and vigilant." the man said before starting the story.
"This is all due to the threat from the mountain human tribe in the forests of our territory. As far as I know, as long as the Xiao family stands, we have never once been enemies or clashed between them. In short, we never got in touch, which is why I let them because they're not bothering."
"But a few months ago, the tribe descended the mountain and raided the Xiao family's power villages near the slopes of the Sword Mountains. Of course I was surprised by that and sent a hundred troops to investigate the situation. But after one week, only twenty people could return safely, it was in a state of injuries."
"Because of this, in anticipation of something bad happening, I gave the order that no one in the meantime should go out or enter the city." Xiao Li sighed ending his story.
Lin Tian and Minghao looked at each other, seemingly frowning in shock as well as astonishment. The mountain people tribe? I never heard of it. That's how they think.
" Mister Xiao"
"Braa"
When Lin Tian was about to speak, suddenly the door of the contemplation room was opened violently by someone. Looking from his uniform, naturally that person was a city warrior.
They were all shocked, and Xiao Li quickly got up to his feet in a snarl, "What the hell is this? Don't you know if I'm having guests, huh!? At least knock on the door!!"
"Excuse me, great sir, but there is an urgent matter! From the direction of the North gate, it was seen that around two hundred mountain man tribesmen had come charging over!! Please, big sir's policy." said the man who had kneeled respectfully.
Xiao Li felt extremely angry at this news. Just talked about, they've come themselves. So spontaneously, he kicked the table and said, "Gather three hundred city soldiers to the North gate, defend this city with a life bet!!"
"Ready Master!!" the man said firmly before leaving from there.
Of course this matter shocked Lin Tian and Minghao. They looked at each other for a moment before Lin Tian could be heard saying, "Master, let us help!"
"There's no need for Lin Tian, let us Xiao family take care of him. Right now, you better stay here first, don't get out of town because it's so dangerous!" said firmly.
"Hao Yu, take care of my son and wife!" his orders were short to the personal bodyguard.
"Okay Sir!"
After which, Xiao Li immediately shot out of the house towards the city gate. While Hao Yu and the three women rushed inside to take shelter.
It left Lin Tian and Minghao who were sitting looking at each other in a daze.
"We better get to the city gate and help!" said Lin Tian.
"That's right!"
