Hearing Mr. Li's greeting in the courtyard, the bodyguards and servants who were busy with their own affairs all walked into the courtyard one after another. They gathered in a circle and surrounded Mr. Li in the middle.
Head Guard Li looked at everyone sternly and shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, I know you are tired from guarding these past few days! But that's what our business is like! When we come to Zhangzhou City today, brothers
Don’t be polite, let’s eat! But there’s one thing, you can’t drink wine! There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Zhangzhou City, who knows if anyone or anyone is planning our trip to Baisha!”
An escort next to him said in a loud voice, "Boss, we'll start tomorrow. Brothers, we won't sleep tonight, so we can't let this escort be picked up by thieves!"
Captain Li waved his hand and said solemnly, "Brother Zhu, brothers, please listen to my explanation! Before leaving, our boss, Mr. Lu, specially told me some matters that need to be handled in Zhangzhou City.
Yes, I estimate that it will take about three days. So, including tonight, we will stay at the Taiping Inn for another two nights and set off on the third day! In the past few days, the brothers have also taken a good rest and refreshed the horses.
, and then I drove more than a hundred miles every day, which was enough to make up for the past few days!"
"Yes!" the team from the Baisha Escort Agency shouted in unison.
"In the past two days, our first task is to take care of the escort car. Everyone knows this very well, and I won't say more, brother. Escort Master Tian, take a few people with you to repair and reinforce the escort car.
Repair somewhere! Escort Yu, you are not fully recovered from your injuries. Why don't you take a few brothers to buy some supplies in Zhangzhou City, leave this Zhangzhou City, and I think there will be another place to stay.
It will take a few days. Well, Mr. Zhu, please bring a few brothers who are good at martial arts and smart. They will visit Zhangzhou City in the past few days. One of them will also understand the recent trends in the martial arts world. Will it affect the situation?
The other purpose of our escort trip is to see if there is anything strange happening in the city, and whether anyone has been eyeing our shipment and has been living in the city for a long time." Mr. Li is indeed very experienced.
The work was given in an orderly manner. Then he waved his hand and said, "It's getting late now, let's eat. After dinner, you will be on duty according to the rules. Get up early tomorrow morning to eat, and then do what I told you today!"
After listening to Li Biaotou's arrangements one by one on the left and one on the right, everyone took their orders and the birds and beasts dispersed.
After dinner, Master Zhu was picking his teeth and walking around the yard. Seeing this, Mao Mao stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Master Zhu, are you going to the city to inquire about news tomorrow?"
Bouncer Zhu glanced at Mao Mao sideways and said nonchalantly, "So what?"
When Mao Mao heard the mission from Captain Li earlier, he had coveted the job of gathering information. He thought to himself that gathering information was just sitting in the busiest restaurant and teahouse in the city and listening to people chatting. Wait a minute.
A good thing is much better than repairing cars and washing horses, buying rice and selling meat. Therefore, he was thinking about currying favor with escort Zhu, just because he wanted to be arranged to do this.
Mao Mao smiled broadly, grinning from the corner of his mouth to his ears, and said, "Master Zhu, your small task sounds like the most important task. It must be the first time Biao Li saw that you are very capable and smart.
I also hope that I can follow Master Zhu more and learn more. I used to work as a housekeeper in Guang'an Town, and I am good at finding information on the streets. I also hope that Master Zhu can give more support to my younger brother."
This escort Zhu is considered to be the lowest escort in the Baisha Escort Bureau, and no one usually pays attention to him. This time, it was only that other second-rate escorts such as escort Yu and others were injured, so escort leader Li sent him out to do this job.
. As if he was not enough, Li Biao arranged for a capable Lei Biao division to work with him. He was depressed, but it happened that Mao Mao came to flatter him at this time. He was worried that no one would support him.
It was delivered to the door.
Zhu Biaoshi immediately put on an indifferent air, glanced at Mao Mao and said, "Since you want to do this job, you have to be more diligent and smart. Apart from you, Lei and I
The escort needs to bring someone with you. I'm not very familiar with you guys, who do you think is suitable?"
Mao Mao was overjoyed when he heard that escort Zhu agreed to go with him on errands. After thinking about it, he said, "There is a boy in our group who is tall and strong. We can leave all the chores to him.
When you go out on errands, you probably still need someone who can do hard work like this."
Escort Zhu nodded and said, "You are right, that's all. As our servant, we don't need to set off early in the morning. You call him up tomorrow and we go out together from this Taiping Inn. You also tell him to change his clothes.
We should dress up in a normal way, so that no one can tell at a glance that we are from an escort agency."
Mao Mao accepted the order and went happily. He ran to Qiao Xianyong's house and gave him another order. Qiao Xianyong originally hated his character and was unwilling to act with him, but when he heard that this was a task sent by the bodyguard above, he could only
Neng reluctantly nodded in agreement.
This was the first night we stayed at the Taiping Inn. It was indeed Taiping. Except for a few people who were keeping watch, everyone else was already tired and aching all over. They all had sweet dreams very early and slept until dawn.
Qiao Xianyong went to bed early and woke up very early. When he woke up, it was still dark, with only a faint glimmer of light coming from the window paper, indicating that it was almost dawn. It was daytime in Zhangzhou City.
Although noisy and lively at night, it was not much different from sleeping in the wild. It was extremely quiet. Qiao Xianyong heard Guo Tieniu still sleeping soundly on the bunk next to him, occasionally making loud grinding sounds.
Qiao Xianyong never wanted to get out of bed and disturb Guo Tieniu, so he turned over and thought silently in his mind. Seeing that the day passed by, he didn't know where his master was. Did he really have to arrive in the capital in the twelfth lunar month to see him?
Thinking of the spirit of black stone from his master, he couldn't help but take out the Xiansong sword made of black stone that his master told him about. He took off the scabbard, rubbed it gently, and clasped his hands together to hold the sword's edge.
Try to feel if there is any difference.
At this time, in the quiet night, the sound of a slow clock and a fast clock came. Qiao Xianyong knew that it was the fifth watch and it was already Yin time.
At this time, the Xiansong Sword in his hand emitted a light like a crystal diamond. The light was extremely weak at first, like a candlelight, and then the light became stronger and stronger, and it actually illuminated the entire room! The light only shined for a moment.
, the originally black Xiansong Sword became completely transparent. When Qiao Xianyong saw such a change in the Xiansong Sword, he immediately sat up and stared intently at the dagger in his hand.
This change was exactly the same as what happened when he first read the suicide note left by Master Tongtian in the cave at the bottom of Wugu Valley! He still remembered that many wonderful changes had occurred in his body at that time, but they passed quickly.
