Chapter 275 Urgent Mission

As everyone was discussing, the last group of palace guards finally arrived. With their arrival, the entire martial arts arena was suddenly filled with hundreds of palace guards, creating a spectacular scene.

At that moment, a man suddenly emerged from the crowd, dressed distinctly different from the other guards. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his features handsome and resolute, his brows radiating a sense of authority.

The man turned out to be the commander of the palace guards, Nangong Wending. He cleared his throat and shouted, "Everyone, please be quiet! I've gathered you all here today to discuss important matters and issue important instructions."

Hearing the commander's words, the originally noisy martial arts field suddenly became silent. Many palace guards stopped talking and turned their eyes to Nangong Wending, waiting for his next words.

"Brothers! The eldest son was on a business trip this time, and unfortunately, he was assassinated on the way. So far, we have no idea whether he is alive or dead!

That's why I've gathered you all here. You've been summoned today to discuss sending someone to search for the eldest son. I must solemnly declare to everyone that this operation is fraught with danger. Any palace guard who feels they lack the strength to handle such a difficult and perilous situation may choose not to participate.

Of course, those palace guards who consider themselves exceptionally strong and exceptional are welcome to sign up for this mission. Regardless of the final outcome of finding the eldest young master, all participants will receive a generous reward of one hundred taels of silver!

At this time, the butler's voice, neither loud nor soft, was like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of every palace guard present, making everyone hear it clearly.

As soon as the butler finished speaking, the originally quiet place suddenly became noisy.

The numerous palace guards on the scene had different reactions: some hurriedly gathered together to whisper with their companions, discussing in low voices whether they should participate in the matter; others frowned slightly, pondering silently alone.

After all, faced with such a task that carries both opportunities and huge risks, everyone has their own considerations in mind.

Those palace guards who were eager to seek promotion opportunities or obtain high rewards naturally had the idea of ​​actively participating. At this moment, everyone was immersed in deep thought about their personal gains and losses...

Although it sounded like a lot of benefits, when they thought about the fact that the eldest son was in trouble, they didn't dare to joke with their lives. Therefore, although some people were eager to make a move, no one stood up and expressed their participation.

Wu Ming was thrilled when he heard the butler's words. For a palace guard like him, most of his time was spent inside the mansion, and only on renovation days did he have the opportunity to step out.

Wu Ming's desire to explore the outside world had long been unquenchable. He constantly yearned to leave his small world and experience the vastness of the outside world, full of unknowns and novelties. Now, with this rare opportunity before him, how could he easily pass it up?

At this moment, Li Yue, who had been paying close attention to Wu Ming, said, "Aqi, do you want to go too? But your amnesia has not been cured yet!" Li Yue's eyes were full of worry. He knew that there might be certain risks in this mission and was worried that Wu Ming would encounter an accident due to his poor physical condition.

Wu Ming responded confidently: "Don't worry, my injuries have almost recovered, and I am fully capable of participating in this mission." After that, he patted his chest to show that he was fine.

Seeing this, Li Yue opened his mouth as if he wanted to say a few more words of advice, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a clear and pleasant voice suddenly coming from the front.

"My eldest brother has unfortunately found himself in danger and faced numerous difficulties. The situation is extremely critical! At this critical juncture, anyone who can successfully rescue my eldest brother from this difficult situation can choose any rare treasure in my Bai Mansion.

Among these treasures are coveted high-level secret techniques, astonishingly powerful treasures, and rare and precious natural treasures. Furthermore, those who rescue others will have the opportunity to become a highly respected attendant of the Bai Mansion."

At this time, the person who spoke was Bai Ningzhu, the third young lady of the Bai family, who was standing gracefully beside the two housekeepers.

As soon as she said this, everyone present felt a sudden surge of anxiety. After all, the treasures hidden within the Bai Mansion were by no means ordinary. Even the Bai Mansion guards had only heard of them; only a few had actually seen the treasures in person.

What's more, in addition to being able to choose treasures, you can also get such a rare opportunity to become a worshiper of the Bai Mansion.

It should be noted that the Bai Mansion's servants held a high position, and compared to ordinary palace guards, they were a world apart. Even compared to the housekeeper, they were not inferior.

The Gongfeng does not need to take on too many tasks on a daily basis, and only needs to help when the Bai Mansion faces a major crisis. However, the generous benefits they enjoy are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Upon hearing such an enticing offer, the palace guards, who had been somewhat concerned about the danger level, instantly cast aside their worries. Seven or eight men stepped forward without hesitation, pledging to ensure the eldest son's safe return.

Seeing that someone had bravely stepped forward, the others naturally didn't want to be left behind. Immediately afterwards, another dozen or so people stepped forward, including Wu Ming.

However, unlike the others, Wu Ming hadn't come solely for the treasures promised by the Third Miss. In fact, he had long been planning to leave the mansion and travel, and now that this incident had happened, it was truly a dream come true, saving him the trouble of finding another excuse.

At this moment, Li Yue saw Wu Ming standing up. After a moment's hesitation, he followed suit. After all, he was still worried about Wu Ming, fearing that something might happen to his friend.

However, within a short period of time, more than 20 people volunteered and expressed their willingness to join the operation to rescue the young master.

This scene gradually dissipated the deep sorrow on the faces of the third lady and the second master of the Bai family.

Even if they forced the guards to carry out this arduous task, most of them would not dare to disobey. However, if they did things unwillingly, how could they be expected to give their all and devote themselves wholeheartedly? In comparison, using benefits as bait to make them willingly work for it was obviously a much wiser move!
