Chapter 597: The tip of the iceberg, the truth revealed! [3]

Outside Julu County.

Wearing a yellowish-brown short jacket, long trousers, and a yellow silk ribbon tied around his head, Jia Dong was looking around with a pair of thief-like eyes.

Beside Jia Dong was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen.

The young man was dressed similarly to Jia Dong, both wearing yellow headscarves.

The young man was over eight feet tall, with a sturdy build. He followed behind Jia Dong and asked in a low voice: "Proprietor, why are we here?"

"Shh!"

Jia Dong made a gesture for silence, then looked around.

At this moment, everywhere they looked, the surroundings were filled with Taiping Dao believers wearing yellow headscarves.

And even more Taiping Dao believers were coming toward this place from all directions.

"Bodao, do not expose our identities," Jia Dong said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, this is a task given to us by the Lord."

"Ah?"

Hao Zhao was stunned, his eyes widening.

"The Lord?"

Jia Dong nodded: "Yes, the Lord."

"Bodao, haven't you always wanted to see the Lord and wanted to serve under the Lord's command?"

"Hehe." Jia Dong gave a hehe laugh and said: "As long as you perform outstandingly this time, I will recommend you to the Lord."

"Is the Proprietor serious?" Hao Zhao looked at Jia Dong and said: "Proprietor, you must not lie."

"Tch." Jia Dong curled his lips and said: "Could I possibly lie to you, kid?"

"With your abilities, once you go to the Lord, you will definitely be given important responsibilities," Jia Dong said proudly: "I can also be considered to have made a contribution by recommending talent."

"But the premise is that this mission must be performed excellently."

"There must not be the slightest mistake."

"Do you hear me?"

Hao Zhao immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Thinking about going to Duan Yu's side, Hao Zhao was so excited that his hands were trembling.

Back when Duan Yu was still in Taiyuan Commandery, Hao Zhao had already heard of Duan Yu's great name.

Suppressing bandits at Longshan, defeating the Southern Xiongnu at Daqingshan, burning Tanhanshan, and shooting the Xianbei Chanyu.

Hearing all these deeds made Hao Zhao's blood boil, and he wished he could follow Duan Yu.

It was just that last year, he was only fourteen.

Not to mention being too young, his family also did not agree, and he had no way to contact Duan Yu.

Fortunately, by chance, he met Jia Dong, who was leading a caravan to Jizhou.

Upon hearing that Jia Dong was under Duan Yu's command, Hao Zhao disregarded his family's opposition and directly followed Jia Dong, becoming a guard for the caravan.

His goal was still to be able to contact Duan Yu.

Now hearing Jia Dong say that as long as this mission could be completed, he could contact Duan Yu, Hao Zhao was naturally excited and thrilled.

"Don't worry, Proprietor, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west; if you tell me to go into the river, I will never go up the mountain!"

Hao Zhao patted his chest while making promises.

Jia Dong nodded with satisfaction, then winked toward Julu County.

"Let's go, let's go inside and take a look."

After speaking, the two walked together toward Julu County.

At this time, the streets and alleys of Julu County were filled with Taiping Dao believers wearing yellow headscarves.

There was no end in sight, from the beginning of the street to the end of the alley.

And in everyone's eyes, there was a very devout look.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in this small county town of Julu; logically speaking, it should have been very chaotic.

But surprisingly, apart from the streets being a bit crowded, the small county town that had suddenly received tens of thousands of people did not look chaotic at all.

The shops on both sides of the street were still open for business.

The street vendors were also setting up their stalls as usual.

At this moment, Julu County was like a huge marketplace.

On the east side of Julu County.

There was a huge mansion in the city.

Calling it a mansion, it didn't really look like one.

It looked more like a... a Taoist temple or something similar.

In front of this building, which occupied a fairly large area, there were dozens of Huang Jin Warriors wearing yellow short jackets on their upper bodies, greyish-brown shorts on their lower bodies, straw sandals on their feet, and red headscarves on their heads.

The Huang Jin Warriors were all burly and dignified-looking people.

On the porch of the temple, a huge plaque was hanging.

On it were written four large characters.

Great Virtuous Teacher!

Countless Taiping Dao believers with yellow headscarves, after arriving at the door, all knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly.

But not a single person dared to barge into the mansion without permission.

Even though the main gate of the mansion was wide open.

Extending from the entrance, passing through the front house, the middle courtyard, and all the way to the back house.

In front of a bedroom in the back house, two middle-aged men wearing yellow Taoist robes were standing at the door, pacing back and forth anxiously.

Their gazes looked toward the inside of the room from time to time, their eyes revealing worry.

Just as the two were waiting bitterly, the door opened.

A young girl, about sixteen years old, graceful and fair-skinned, with a pair of eyes that seemed to contain stars, walked out from the room.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, my father wants you to go in," Zhang Ning said softly.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, the two brothers waiting outside the door, immediately walked toward the room.

Inside the room, the bitter smell of Chinese herbal medicine permeated the air.

On the soft couch in the bedroom. ===== CHAPTER 599 =====
