Lin Chengfang said," The price of us escorting this escort is 500 taels of silver. We'll escort you from Kaifeng to Xuzhou. If you need anything urgently, we're willing to give it all to you."”
The eyes of the middle-aged man flashed, and he said,"You dare to tease me."
"I'm just saying it at the beginning, but if you don't listen, I'll…" Lin Chengfang said.
The middle-aged man then said,"Silver is a small matter. If your bureau needs it, we will give you a thousand taels of silver and keep your darts."”
The Three Freaks of Snow Valley had always been hot-tempered, and would immediately attack if there was any disagreement.
They had probably heard that the Bao Bodyguard Agency had passed through several stages in a row, so the three of them were rather polite.
Lin Chengfang sneered." The three of you are all famous heroes in Jianghu. How can you say that? Our Baotong Escort Agency is not a big escort agency, but we can't break the rules of the escort agency."”
The person on the left wearing a leather robe sneered and said,""Boss, don't waste your breath on them.”
Lin Chengfang smiled faintly and said," We don't have anything else but death. If the three of you insist on fighting, I'll accompany you."”
The man in the leather robe on the left said angrily,"How dare you!"”
He waved his left hand and a cold light shot out towards his chest.
Lin Chengfang drew his sword and waved it as fast as lightning. With a clang, the cold light was blocked.
It was a soft silver spear that was blocked by Lin Chengfang's sword.
The middle-aged man said,"Your bureau is able to break through several ambushes in a row. You really have some skills."”
He raised his hands and two cold lights shot out from his sleeves.
Lin Chengfang was already on guard. He swung his sword left and right, blocking the two cold lights with two clangs.
They were two short swords with soft ropes.
Lin Chengyan coughed lightly and said,""Do the three of you really have to fight?”
The middle-aged man said,"There's no other way. Your Excellency is unwilling to keep him. We can only experience it."”
Lin Chengfang heaved a sigh of relief." The three of you, there are no good fighters in this fight. If you insist on fighting, I'm afraid there will inevitably be casualties."”
"It seems that Escort Leader Lin is very confident in dealing with us."”
Lin Chengfang said," The three of you have needles hidden in your fur robes. I'm afraid it's one of the most poisonous hidden weapons in the world. I have no choice but to think of a way to save my life first."”
"Boss, I'll make the first move and teach this kid a lesson." Daoist Zuo sneered.”
With a breath, his body suddenly rushed forward.
He came very quickly, as fast as the wind.
When he was in front of her, his weapon was in his hands. He pushed forward with both hands, and two cold lights pierced towards his chest.
Lin Chengfang's sword flashed across his body like lightning.
The strength of the sword was extremely strong. With two clangs, it forcefully blocked the two crescent moons that were stabbing towards his chest.
These two crescent blades were only one foot and two inches long, but other than the two handles that could be held by hand, they were all blades.
There was also a soft rope at the back.
The Three Monsters of Snow Valley all brandished their weapons. One of them was a Soft Rope Bright Silver Spear, one was a Soft Rope Short Sword, and the last was a Soft Rope Crescent Blade.
Lin Chengfang said coldly after opening the two blades,""The three of you have already exchanged blows with me, but I don't know if you want to continue fighting.”
The middle-aged man laughed coldly and said," That's right. The three of us each attacked with one move and were blocked by you. The Bodyguards of the Baotong Bodyguard Agency are indeed brilliant, but the three of us have yet to use our true skills."”
"We should know what's going on after we fight each other," Lin Chengfang said."If we insist on fighting, it won't benefit either side. Besides, I heard that the elites are gathered at the last stage and are preparing to fight us to the death there."”
"That's right," the middleman said,"so we've made a lot of adjustments to the arrangement of our interception team.”
" It's just a simple exchange of blows with the three of you," Lin Chengfang said." Brother, I believe that we all have the same feeling in our hearts. It's not easy for the three of you to defeat me in a short fight!”
"Yes!"
Lin Chengfang said," So, if we continue fighting, it might be a situation where both sides suffer. If we hurt the people in this situation, that's fine. But if we hurt your brothers, it'll be a little too much for the three of you."”
The Three Freaks of Snow Valley exchanged a glance, then suddenly turned around and left.
Minister Guo quickly walked over and said,"Head Escort Lin, this method is a little wrong."”
"Thank you for your advice, Brother Guo," said Lin Chengfang.”
" The Three Monsters of Snow Valley are not weak in martial arts," said Minister Guo." If we can kill them here, wouldn't that reduce some of the resistance? If we ask them to join the final battle to intercept us, wouldn't that increase the strength of our enemies?"”
"You're right, Brother Guo. However, your thoughts are a little different, aren't they?" Lin Chengfang smiled.”
"May I ask for your advice?" asked Minister Guo.
"A needle hidden in a robe is impossible to guard against," Lin Chengfang said."Unless we go all out and try to win, so that we can take their lives before they release the poison, then it will be a very cold slaughter. We can learn a lesson from the past, and it will definitely arouse their desire to fight for their lives."”
"Escort Leader Lin, do you mean to arrange them for the final battle?" asked Minister Guo.”
" That's right," Lin Chengfang said." This is beneficial to them, but it's also beneficial to us. They have gathered a lot of people, but we have also retained a lot of martial arts that we haven't used yet."”
"Ah!" Minister Guo said. I see."
"Brother Guo, if there are seven or eight of them attacking one or two of us together, the Three Monsters of Snow Valley won't be able to use their Wool Needles."”
"That makes sense." Minister Guo nodded.”
As they conversed, they reached another checkpoint.
At this pass were two middle-aged women, each holding a long sword and wearing a long silk dress.
The hem of her dress covered her feet.
Lin Chengfang was stunned. He frowned and said,""Brother Guo, why are they wearing dresses?”
"Head Escort Lin, don't you know these two?" asked Minister Guo.”
"I don't know him," Lin Chengfang replied.
"Is this the famous 'In the Skirt' in Jianghu?" Guo Xiang thought.”
"What kind of kung fu is that?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
"The most terrifying thing about them is not the longsword in their hands, but the pair of lotus feet hidden in their long dresses," said Minister Guo.”
"Oh!" Lin Chengfang said.
"I heard that their kicks are as fast as lightning, and they can also kick out hidden weapons," said Minister Guo.”
"This is unheard of."”
"I've never seen it before, so let us have this battle," said Minister Guo.”
"Alright!" Lin Chengfang said. In that case, please be careful."
These two women were both around 37 or 38 years old, but one was dressed in green and the other in red.
The man in red laughed coldly and said,""Yin-Yang Dual Swords, what else do you know about my aunt?”
" You two sisters," said Minister Guo with a smile." We're brothers. Only two against two can we have fun. Your Uncle Guo is…"
"Minister Guo, if you dare to insult us sisters again, be careful of your dog life," the red-robed woman said coldly.”
"I say, Young Lady, do you think you can threaten people with your words?" Minister Guo smiled. When we exchange blows, it's a matter of risking our lives.”
The red-robed woman said," When we exchange blows, we fight for victory. We don't necessarily have to fight with our lives on the line. However, if you hurt us with your words, it will be a life-and-death battle between us."”
Minister Guo's face turned serious. He said,"You're welcome, young ladies. The Yin-Yang Dual Swords have always been at their best when they work together. If you two ladies have any special skills, please show them."”
At this moment, the woman in green suddenly said,""Your Yin-Yang Dual Swords were supposed to be helpers hired by Master to deal with Baotong Bodyguard Agency and Love Severing Girl. I didn't expect you to turn against the person who invited you.”
Minister Guo smiled." Second Young Lady, although I was invited here, I don't know who the host is. Do you know who this Second Young Lady is?"”
The woman in green was startled." I didn't pay attention to this. But no matter what, you can't turn around and deal with the person who invited you. If you're unhappy, why don't you just leave?"”
Minister Guo said," To be honest, we brothers don't want to fight with your sisters. It's best if you're willing to be kind. If it's the two of you, I don't know who invited you to help. It seems that you don't have to work for others."”
The green-clothed woman sneered." Although we sisters are women, we are not people who will be manipulated by others. We want to deal with the Love Slayer Woman. Even if we were not invited, we would still rush over to participate in this matter when we heard the news.”
"From your tone, you seem to hate that love-struck woman very much," said Minister Guo.”
"That's right, we have a deep grudge against him."”
"Why?" asked Minister Guo. Can you tell us?"
The green-clothed woman said," It doesn't matter if I tell you. We sisters have a brother who was killed by a woman who cut off love. As sisters, should we avenge him?"”
Lin Chengfang's heart skipped a beat when he heard that."It seems that this love-struck woman has indeed made a lot of enemies.”
"Yes, but…" Minister Guo nodded.
" I've already made myself clear," the red-robed woman said." If the two of you don't want to get involved in this dispute, it's not too late to retreat now."”
"I'm afraid it's too late," said Minister Guo.”
"Why?" asked the woman in red.
"We brothers like silver very much," said Minister Guo."Love Slayer promised us that we would ensure that she safely passed the interception…"
"Can money buy your brother's life?" the green-clothed woman asked.”
Minister Guo laughed." Second Young Lady, as the saying goes, money can make the devil turn the millstone, let alone buying a life."”
"Since you two are selling, we would like to ask about the price."”
"It's quite high. I'm afraid the two ladies can't afford it."”
The green-clothed woman said," Bargaining in the sky and paying back the money on the spot. We sisters also have some savings. Who knows, the price might be higher than that of a love-beheaded woman."”
"Second Young Lady, if you insist on asking, this brother will name a price."”
"I'm all ears," the green-clothed woman said.”
"We're brothers, so each of us will get a number."”
"Is one number a lot?" the green-clothed woman asked.”
"10,000 taels…" said Minister Guo.
"Ten thousand taels of silver isn't too expensive."”
Minister Guo smiled." Second Miss, the woman who cut off love is very rich. In the current Jianghu, there are not many people who are richer than her."”
"We sisters are proper people, so of course we can't compare to the money of a lover."”
"Miss, the two lives of the Yin-Yang Dual Swords are only sold for 10,000 taels of silver each. Isn't that a little too little?"”
"It can't be 10,000 gold taels, right?" the green-clothed woman asked.”
"I'm afraid you're right," said Minister Guo.”
"Ten thousand gold taels. I don't believe that the Love Slayer would have that much money."”
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but I, the Yin Yang Dual Swords, will not sell myself if I can't get this price," said Minister Guo.”
"It's too expensive," the green-clothed woman said."We sisters can't afford it."”
"Little sister, what did you hear him say?" the woman in red asked. Make your move!"
" Yes!" The green-clothed woman responded and suddenly thrust her sword over.
This sword was incomparably fierce. It created two silver flowers and pointed at Minister Guo's chest.
Minister Guo dodged to the side, and the sword in his right hand was already unsheathed. He retreated and used the sword to block the sword in the green-clothed woman's hand.
He had already known that he would immediately kick out after this sword strike.
Minister Guo was a little wary of the foot that protruded out of her skirt. Therefore, although he could block this sword, he didn't want to take the risk and dodged to avoid her foot.
Lin Chengfang watched attentively, hoping that she could kick out a foot. He wanted to see how fast this " kick in the skirt " was and how it could shake the Jianghu.
However, Guo Xiang seemed to be extremely wary of the "foot in the skirt" and had been careful to deal with the enemy.
The long sword in his hand was actually used like a huge machete, opening and closing widely, his body maintaining a considerable distance from the woman in green.
The two of them exchanged more than ten moves, but they were unable to use their true ultimate techniques.
Minister Guo focused on defense. After the green woman attacked for more than ten moves, she suddenly stopped and said,"Surnamed Guo, if we continue to fight like this, when will we be able to determine victory and defeat?”
Putting away his sword and taking two steps back, Minister Guo smiled and said,"From now on, I don't want to fight with you here.”
"What does it mean that victory and defeat are not decided here?" the green-robed woman asked.”
Minister Guo said," Host, gather all the talents he thinks are useful to the last stage and prepare to fight us to the death there. If the two ladies give it their all here, it doesn't seem to be beneficial to either of them regardless of victory or defeat."”
"Why? If we sisters can kill your Yin-Yang Dual Swords, we can still be in the limelight."”
Minister Guo said," Sister Hong and Sister Lu's undergarments are already very famous in the martial world. There's no need to pity our Yin-Yang Dual Swords for being famous. Besides, you should at least be clear about one thing."”
"What is it?" the green-clothed woman asked.
"Everyone, you originally wanted to win by having more people, but the people present are us, stronger than your sisters."”
The elder sister in the red dress seemed to have figured out the reason. She nodded and said,"Yes! Sister, we can't be stupid enough to fight the Yin-Yang Dual Swords here.”
"Big Sister, they want to protect the woman who has cut off her love and refuse to give in. There's nothing we can do about it."”
"Even if we want to compete with the Yin-Yang Dual Swords, it's not here or now. Let's go!" the woman in red said.”
He turned around and left.
The woman in green glanced at Minister Guo and said,""You're not bad. You convinced my sister with just a few words.”
"Your sister is quite smart," said Minister Guo."I'll see through it."”
The green-clothed woman smiled slightly." My sister is a very difficult person to talk to. You actually managed to convince her so easily. You're really brilliant."”
"Second Young Lady, you'd better tell your sister one more thing," said Minister Guo.”
"What is it?" the green-clothed woman asked.
"We're people who are surrounded," said Minister Guo."It's inevitable that we'll go all out. It's best not to block the sharp edge first.”
"I understand."”
He turned around and leaped away.
"Good, attacking the heart is the best." Lin Chengfang smiled."These two sisters seem to have been convinced by Brother Guo."”
"Well said, well said. I'm just learning how to walk with Brother Lin."”
Lin Chengfang smiled as he watched the two girls leave.""Once these two ladies leave, the situation is already clear?”
"What is it obvious?" asked Minister Guo.
"They seem to have given up on their plan to intercept us in ten ways. They want to see who wins in the last one."”
The two of them talked as they walked and arrived at another ambush.
This time, the enemy retreated without wasting any time.
"Brother Guo, where is the last ambush?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
"It's not too far. It's just ahead," said Minister Guo.”
Lin Chengfang raised his head and saw a mountain range with short forests on both sides.
However, there were two tea houses beside the wide road that served wine and food. The business was quite good, and there were often shops that went to the front to rest.
" Let's go!" Lin Chengfang exhaled and said slowly," They're preparing to go up the earth ridge! It's still in front of the earth ridge."
Minister Guo said," It seems to be on the mountain ridge. Most of these people are invited experts. I'm afraid most of them won't agree to hide in the grass forest beside the road."”
"In that case, they are prepared to sit in the tea shed and wait for us."”
"It seems so!" said Minister Guo.”
Longevity Mountain said," That's good too. This kind of righteous obstruction is much brighter than their hidden methods."”
Minister Guo said," Chief Escort Leader, they have removed several checkpoints at the back and gathered everyone here. There is a large grassland on the ridge. To them, it seems to be beneficial."”
The Longevity Mountain pondered for a while and said," If they fight alone and come one by one, we can deal with them. I'm afraid that they will throw us up. At that time, even if we can face the enemy, I'm afraid we won't be able to protect the lover."”
"I have the same concerns," said Minister Guo.”
Lin Chengfang glanced back at Tian Kun, who was driving the carriage, and said,""Do you know that coachman, Brother Tian?”
"Head Escort Lin, I wonder who he is?" asked Minister Guo.”
" The Love Severing Woman didn't explain it clearly," Lin Chengfang said." It's not convenient for me to ask. However, judging from his skills, he's not a simple person."”
"Brother Lin, have you heard of this person, Belldart?" asked Minister Guo.”
"I don't have much time as an escort, so I haven't heard of many Jianghu experts," Lin Chengfang said.”
"He's the bell dart Tian Kun," said Minister Guo.”
"Bell dart," Lin Chengfang said,"It means that he knows how to use a kind of hidden weapon called bell dart."”
"A kind of dart with a ringing bell," said Minister Guo.”
"If there's a bell on the dart, then wouldn't it lose its use as a hidden weapon?" Longevity Mountain said.”
"The Bell Dart is one of the famous hidden weapons in the martial world, but I've never seen its power," said Minister Guo with a smile. However, in a while, there would be many powerful enemies. He had to use his skills.”
"How did the martial arts of the love-killing woman disappear?" Lin Chengfang asked in a low voice.”
Minister Guo said," It's just the legend I heard. She hasn't lost her martial arts. She's just seriously injured and hasn't recovered yet. She can't use her zhenqi recklessly. As long as her injuries are healed, her martial arts will recover immediately."”
Lin Chengfang said," Brother Guo, only by knowing the enemy can we be invincible. Now that we don't know the enemy's strength, it's obvious that it's not enough to know the enemy. Therefore, we can only put in more effort in knowing each other. If I ask the wrong question, Brother Guo, please forgive me."”
"I dare not," said Minister Guo anxiously."Head Escort Lin, please instruct me if you need anything."”
"What kind of kung fu do you have?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
"You mean the most powerful martial art to behead a lover?" asked Minister Guo.”
"Yes!" Lin Chengfang said. Including her hidden weapon technique."
"She knows how to use a very powerful hidden weapon called the Meridian Soul-chasing Nail."”
"Poison-dipped hidden weapons," Lin Chengfang said.
"As far as I know, there are two types. One is poison!" Not a single one!"
" Yes." Lin Chengfang nodded." A person can use both poisonous and non-poisonous hidden weapons. That proves that this person still has some conscience…"
"Brother Guo, let's talk about the matter at hand. How about we talk about the actions of the love-struck woman in the martial arts world?"”
" She's not a good person," Minister Guo said." At least, she's not a dignified and upright woman. However, she's not as bad as the rumors say!"”
"Brother Guo, everyone is looking for her for revenge. They say that she has harmed many people. I wonder if it's true or not?"”
Minister Guo smiled and said," Head Escort Lin, you're drunk, but what's wrong with the wine? It's not about sex. If everyone can understand the principles of Zen, the four elements will be empty. Who can be harmed if you kill your lover?"”
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the earthen post.
Longevity Mountain looked at the mound and Han Er whispered a few words.
Lin Chengfang waved his hand at Tian Kun and said,""Brother Tian has hidden his abilities. I didn't dare to trouble you, but the situation is different now. We have too few people.”
"Brother, do your best," said Tian Kun.”
"If the situation requires it, I hope Brother Tian can use your ultimate skill." Lin Chengfang smiled.”
"Brothers never hide anything," Tian Kun said.”
The charming laughter of a woman who had cut off her love came out of the wagon."Escort Leader Lin, I will also put in some effort. Tian Kun specially made a hundred words bell darts, and when the time comes, I will naturally use them.”
Tian Kun smiled slightly and did not say anything else.
Minister Guo turned his head to look at Ma Hou and said,""Brother, let's go! Let's go first."
Ma Hou responded and quickly caught up with Minister Guo, heading straight for the post.
Lin Chengfang followed closely behind them.
Longevity Mountain, on the other hand, traveled with the escort carriage, keeping a distance of more than ten feet from the three of them.
He climbed up the hill and didn't meet anyone who stopped him.
This hill wasn't very high, but it was very large. There were already many people sitting in the tea stalls on both sides.
Even someone who had never been in the martial world could tell that something was wrong.
Most of the people sitting on the mound were burly men in military attire.
Minister Guo slowed down his pace and said,"Brother Lin, the important people are probably hiding behind the tea shed. Should we stay and have a cup of water or go straight over?"?”
"If we can go over, we'd better go over. I wonder if they're willing to let go?" Lin Chengfang said.”
"With the three of us, they probably won't stop us. We can only wait and see."”
The three or four of them did not cross the mound, nor did they enter the tea shed. They stood in the middle of the road.
Most of the people sitting in the tea stalls on both sides were looking at the three of them.
They had already made ample preparations, so they didn't pay much attention to the powerful enemies in the tea houses on both sides.
Lin Chengfang had already looked around and started to talk to Minister Guo in a low voice in the middle of the road. He said,"They have the advantage in numbers. It's best if we can go to the wide grassland behind them and take a gamble."
"Brother Lin, how do you plan to deal with the enemy?" asked Minister Guo.”
Lin Chengfang said," Let's fight them on this official road. The tea houses on both sides will limit the number of people they can attack. It will only create a chaotic situation. Even if they have arranged an ambush, they won't be able to use it."”
"Yes!" Minister Guo said. If we do this, they should stop us first. I didn't expect them to be so generous and let us stand in a very favorable situation.”
Lin Chengfang whispered out his plan.
Before he could finish his words, the wheels rumbled and the caravan had already climbed onto the mound.
At this moment, someone walked out from the two tea stalls.
Minister Guo and Ma Hou quickly moved to the side, keeping a distance of about ten feet from Lin Chengfang.
However, the other party had already made arrangements.
The Three Monsters of Snow Valley walked out of the tea shed on the left, followed by a dozen burly men armed with weapons. They walked toward the Yin-Yang Dual Swords.
From the tea shed on the right, two sisters, one red and one green, walked out.
He also brought more than ten armed men to surround Lin Chengfang.
Looking at the situation, Lin Chengfang knew that there was a smart person secretly mobilizing them.
That person could also be the one who secretly sent out the invitation and invited people to the gathering.
A monk in a yellow kasaya also walked out of the tea shed and welcomed the caravan protected by the Longevity Mountain.
The monk and his soldiers followed closely behind the two green-robed elders who were in their fifties, followed by more than twenty burly men who were armed with weapons.
"Escort leader, it seems that they have long made preparations." Minister Guo smiled bitterly.”
"Please focus on resisting the enemy," Lin Chengfang said.”
He held the hilt of his sword and unsheathed it.
At this moment, the two sisters had already approached Lin Chengfang.
The caravan that had climbed up the hill also stopped. The two caravans gathered together.
Han Er and a servant immediately stretched out their hands, each holding a horse ring.
Tian Kun took out a chain from the carriage and placed it by his side.
Longevity Mountain, however, blocked the caravan with bare hands.
The yellow-robed monk stopped ten feet away from the carriage. He placed a palm on his chest and said," Amitabha. This poor monk is the Bishop of Dahua. Please give me your name."”
Longevity Mountain's heart moved and he thought to himself," I seem to have heard of the name of great transformation before. I have to be careful."”
"My surname is Wan, the head of the Bao Tong Escorts."”
"Almsgiver Wan's name is…"
"I'm a mortal, and I'm not famous. Even if I told you, you wouldn't know me," said Longevity Mountain.”
"Benefactor, you're too modest," said Master Dahua coldly.，However, although the Baotong Escort Agency is not a famous escort agency, it is not worth it for your agency to protect a lover who has made enemies with several friends in the Central Plains.”
Longevity Mountain said," Master, you're right. If we had known that we would behead a lover and cause so much hatred, we would never have accepted this escort. Unfortunately, we've already accepted this escort and turned back. Everything went smoothly. We only received 500 taels of silver from Kaifeng to Xuzhou.”
"The price of this escort mission is relatively low, but your bureau will have to pay a huge price."”
Longevity Mountain said," The loss outweighs the gain. But according to the rules of the escort firm, since we've accepted the escort, we can only pinch our noses and swallow it."”
"In that case, your esteemed bureau has already decided to persist."”
Longevity Mountain said," There's no other way. So, I hope that Master will leave us a way out. Fortunately, our bureau guarantees that this escort will only reach Xu Prefecture. Once we enter the city gate, we will leave."”
At this moment, an old man wearing a grey robe slowly walked out from behind Dahua Master. He was over fifty years old, of medium build, and had a white beard. Although he was wearing a grey robe, it was very clean. The sleeves were rolled up, revealing the snow-white lining. There was a black belt tied around his waist. It was three fingers wide and half an inch thick. It was obvious that it was not made of ordinary silk cloth.
The old man's hands were especially white and his fingers were long. He looked very amiable.
He held his beard and smiled." Chief Escort Wan, not only do we admire your agency's courage, but we also admire your agency's martial arts. However, as far as I know, after accepting the escort, you can surrender, but Chief Escort Wan is willing to surrender. We will compensate for your losses."”
Longevity Mountain said," That's a good idea. However, this matter is not in line with the rules of our bodyguard business. Since you are willing to give me a friendship, why don't you wait for me to arrive in Xuzhou..."
The grey-robed elder sneered and continued,""Chief Escort Wan, don't you think that these words are a bit too much?”
"Oh, I don't think so." Longevity Mountain replied.”
"Hmph!" The grey-robed elder said. It seems that your bureau is deliberately making things difficult for us.”
Longevity Mountain said," Well said, well said. You are the ones who intercepted us. I have repeatedly asked you to let us know the way."”
The grey-robed old man looked back at the Great Transformation Master and said,"Master, it seems that we have to use force.”
Dahua Master said,"The seals have already done their best. If they can't wake the person in the dream, then there's no other way."”
The Longevity Mountain truly did not want to become enemies with the Shaolin monks, but there was no other way. They could not fail at the last step, so they could only frown and say,""Friend, how should I address you?"
"It was Xiang Fang who opened the stele," said the old Taoist in gray.”
Longevity Mountain's heart moved, thinking, So he's the one who opened the monolith.”
He rarely roamed the martial world, but he had heard Zhou Tiebi mention this person.
"I've heard a lot about you. It turns out that you're Great Swordsman Xiang. I've heard of you for a long time, and I'm honored to meet you today."”
"Chief Escort Wan used to walk around that place?" Xiang Fang sneered.”
Longevity Mountain said," I've rarely roamed the martial world, but I've heard of Brother Xiang's great name."”
Xiang Fang frowned." Your Excellency rarely walks in Jianghu. Why did you come to Xuzhou and become an escort leader?"”
Longevity Mountain thought to himself, Looks like this kid is prepared to test my foundation.
"Brother, you were dragged into the water by a friend. There's no other way but to mingle in the martial world."”
"Chief Escort Wan," said Xiang Fang,"that's not enough. Since you don't want to tell me your name and background, I won't force you…"
His voice suddenly became very stern as he continued,"It's obvious that we've decided to keep the woman who killed our love and get rid of a scourge for Jianghu. If Chief Escort Wan is willing to give me a friendship with Master Dahua and surrender this escort mission, we won't hurt each other. If your bureau is unwilling to give us face, then there is only one way to go.”
"Brother Xiang," said Longevity Mountain. "We'll break through," said Xiang Fang."Relying on your bureau's martial arts, you'll be able to break through our interception.”
"Brother Xiang," said Longevity Mountain,"I don't wish to fight."”
Xiang Fang let out a sigh of relief." That's easy. As long as you keep the woman who killed his lover, there will be no problem with your bureau."”
Longevity Mountain said,"There are rules in the trade, and there are things that violate the rules. I can't agree to it."”
"Chief Escort, please make your move!" Xiang Fang said coldly.”
Longevity Mountain nodded and said,"Friend Xiang, must we fight?"”
"That's right," said Xiang Fang,"Your Excellency has no other choice."”
Longevity Mountain looked back at Han Er, only to see two caravans already in a circle.
The better preparation was that the horses in the two caravans had already loosened their ropes. If they were frightened and ran away, they would not be able to drag the caravans.
Han Er and a servant had already gotten off the caravan and were guarding the side of the caravan.
Tian Kun was still sitting high in front of the carriage, holding a long whip in his left hand and four darts in his right hand.
The curtains of the carriage were lowered, and it was impossible to see what preparations the love-struck woman and the Golden Boy of Three Absolutes had made.
"Good, everyone has long been prepared."”
Longevity Mountain saw that they had to take action, so they couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly,""Xiang Fang, this is all because of you. We have to take action.”
"The head of a small escort agency dares to be so rude to me."”
Longevity Mountain smiled and said,"Although Baotong Escort Agency is very small, they have not placed you in their eyes."”
"What an arrogant tone," said Xiang Fang angrily.”
"Whether he is arrogant or not, you will know once you try," said Longevity Mountain.”
Xiang Fang turned his body to the side and said,"Good! This old man will first experience it."
With a whoosh, a palm slapped over.
He was known as the "Stele Breaker", and the strength of this palm was so strong that it brought about a whistling sound.
Longevity Mountain coldly harrumphed. Instead of retreating or dodging, he raised his right hand and unexpectedly met Xiang Fang's palm head-on.
Xiang Fang thought to himself," I've spent 40 years of hard work on palm power. It can break stone steles and shatter rocks. You old brat, if you take my palm power head-on, you're just suffering for yourself."”
As his thoughts spun, his palms had already connected.
Only to hear a bang, as if he had defeated Ge.
Xiang Fang's fingers are as hard as iron, and his palm strikes down like a hammer.
However, the palm force of the Longevity Mountain was exceptionally soft. He retracted his right palm and used the Dispel Formula to dissipate the force of the palm. The expert knows if there is one when he reaches out his hand. Xiang Fang's palm is very fierce, but it also makes his heart tremble.
He didn't retract his palm strike.
At this moment, if Longevity Mountain wanted to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, they only needed to stretch out their hands to grab his pulse.
But the Longevity Mountain didn't extend its hand.
Great Master Dahua chanted the name of Buddha and said,"What a handsome Internal Soft Palm."
Longevity Mountain said,"What a joke!"
"Brother Xiang, please step back." Grandmaster Dahua waved his hand.”
Xiang Fang knew the situation very well and was also very grateful to the Longevity Mountain for showing mercy. He cupped his fists and said,""Chief Escort, you've hidden your abilities well. I've learned a lot from you.”
He did as he was told, but he retreated very far away, and his back quickly disappeared.
Longevity Mountain replied," Well said, well said. I'm a bodyguard, and the rules of the trade restrict me. There's really no other way. If Master is willing to be magnanimous, I will naturally appreciate it."”
"Amitabha. Old Xiu has tried so hard to persuade you, but I can't persuade you."”
"It's so easy to say, but you refuse to be merciful, Master," said Longevity Mountain.”
Master Dahua said,"I'm helping the martial arts world to get rid of evil. My heart is as bright as the moon. Donor Wan, please make your move!"”
Longevity Mountain smiled faintly." I'm just an escort. I have to do my duty. Protect my insurance man's head from harm."”
At this point, it had become a stalemate. Dahua Master put his palms together and said,"It seems that there is no hope of reconciliation between us.”
"At least we have the word 'reason'," Longevity Mountain said."Therefore, we have no regrets in traveling the world."”
Master Dahua said," The lovelorn woman's evil deeds are well known, and her hands are bloody. However, you, Chief Escort Wan, are too shy to follow the rules of the trade and insist on protecting a person who has accumulated as much evil as a mountain. You want her to continue to wreak havoc and commit crimes. Is this the word 'reasoning'?”
Longevity Mountain smiled faintly." Master, you're right. However, I feel that there's something I don't understand. I'd like to ask you."”
Master Dahua said," This old monk was merciful to Buddha and was able to enter the Three Treasures Sect. I am confident that I am a reasonable person. As long as you don't win with your words, this old monk is all ears."”
"Grandmaster, you are the leader of this matter."”
"I can only be considered one of them."”
Longevity Mountain said," That's good. Since Master is one of the masters, I would like to ask for your advice." You set up ten ambushes to intercept the beheaded woman. Why did you arrange the reasonable person at the back while the one in front was unreasonable and did not show any vigilance? If you were in the trap and unfortunately died in the first few ambushes, who would the master reason with?”
The Great Transformation Master was stunned for a moment before he said," This time, the assassination of the Love Slayer involved the Central Plains and the Black Sect as well. Perhaps some impatient people attacked before they could explain the matter clearly. I'm very sorry about this."”
"Master, can your apology make us forget about our life and death experiences?" Longevity Mountain asked.”
"The matter has already passed," Master Dahua said."Patron, you're unharmed. It seems like there's no need to pursue the matter."”
"Master, you are an eminent monk from Shaolin Temple," Longevity Mountain said."You speak so lightly. It's really hard for me to say."”
Dahua seemed to know that he was in the wrong and said,""Almsgiver Wan, there are many enemies of the love-beheaded woman. Some of the Shaolin disciples were also injured by her. I can apologize to Almsgiver Wan again, but I can't let the love-beheaded woman go.”
Longevity Mountain said," Master, we've already passed several levels. Fortunately, we didn't die. We're not willing to admit defeat in this last level."”
Master Dahua said," Donor Wan, why don't you take a look around? Most of the elites of the black and white sects of the Central Plains are gathered here.”
Longevity Mountain smiled," Many of them are people we have met before.”
"Benefactor, you are so insistent because you want to fight me," Master Dahua said.”
"Since Grandmaster is adamant about not letting me pass, I can only force my way in," said Longevity Mountain.”
At this moment, Lin Chengfang and the Yin-Yang Dual Swords were surrounded, but both parties seemed to be waiting for something.
No one made a move.
It turned out that the monolith-opener Xiang Fang had clashed with the Myriad Longevity Mountain with his palm and then turned around to retreat. This had greatly exceeded the expectations of the people present. For a moment, no one dared to rashly make a move.
Anyone could tell that Xiang Fang had suffered a great loss in this clash of palms. Although he didn't seem to notice anything on the surface, the fact that Xiang Fang had conceded defeat without using a second move showed that he had suffered a great loss in this clash.
Great Master Dahua had personally stepped out, and the entire place was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard. They all understood and were all attentively listening to the conversation between Great Master Dahua and Longevity Mountain.
Lin Chengfang raised his sword and was on guard. The enemies surrounding him didn't make a move, and neither did he. He understood that if Longevity Mountain could defeat Master Dahua within three to five moves, he could avoid an intense battle.
The Yin-Yang Dual Swords had their own thoughts. Most of the enemies they were facing were acquaintances. They had some understanding of each other. Once they started fighting, they were not confident of winning.
This caused Minister Guo and Ma Hou to not dare to act rashly.
However, the Three Monsters of the Snow Valley knew that the Yin-Yang Dual Swords were not easy to deal with. If Great Master Dahua could not take care of the Longevity Mountain, this battle would be meaningless if they won, and it would not be worth it if they lost.
Everyone had their own plans. Therefore, even though both sides were at loggerheads, they were still watching.
At this moment, Longevity Mountain was slowly walking toward Great Master Dahua.
On the Dahua Grandmaster's back, there were two copper cymbals, but he did not take them off.
He put his palms together in front of his chest and stood there with his eyes closed.
Longevity Mountain also didn't reveal the weapon on his body, walking step by step closer to Grandmaster.
On the surface, it didn't seem like much, but everyone present was a martial arts expert. They knew that the moment these two people attacked, it would be a head-on clash of internal palm power.
Most of the gazes were focused on the two of them.
Longevity Mountain stopped three steps away from Great Master Dahua and said,"Grandmaster, I'm sorry for offending you.”
"I'm waiting."”
The right palm of the Longevity Mountain slowly lifted and pushed out.
He attacked very slowly, and there was no sharp wind from his palm.
However, the experts present could see that the half-bent five fingers of the palm had covered the five major parts of the chest of the Dahua Master.
The palm that was slowly pushing forward could turn into a lightning fast attack at any time.
Moreover, it hid countless changes and could change the position of the attack at any time.
Dahua Master was extremely calm, only when the palm was about to reach his chest did he strike out with both palms, turning them around.
It was in that one turn that seven or eight hands seemed to grow out of the chest of Great Transformation Master, sealing all the exposed parts of his body.
Longevity Mountain rubbed his wrist and withdrew the palm strike that was about to connect with Great Transformation Master.
"Benefactor, what a good palm technique and deep inner energy."”
"Great Master, you're praising me…" Longevity Mountain said.
He paused and continued," Just now, I saw Master's palm technique. It was magical and completely different from Shaolin's martial arts. May I ask what palm technique Master used?"”
"The Shaolin Temple has seventy-two unique skills, each with its own variations. How can outsiders know about them?"”
He chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice and continued," Benefactor Wan, when I exchanged a palm strike with you, I felt that your martial arts attainments and internal strength are extraordinary. I'm afraid that this battle with me will be extremely dangerous. Whether you hurt me or I hurt you, it will be a tragic situation. Therefore, I would like to advise you to stop if you can.”
Longevity Mountain said," I'm just grateful for Master's kindness. Master, you're a man who understands fame and fortune, but you've only established yourself in Jianghu. Why don't you relax a little so that we can settle down in Jianghu? Why rush to kill our lover?"”
Master Dahua smiled bitterly and said," This is really a dead knot that can't be untied. I've spent half a year with my fellow martial artists in the Central Plains. It's not easy for me to find such an opportunity to kill my lover. If I let it go easily and ruin your reputation, how can I explain it to my fellow martial artists even if I want to let go?"”
"In that case, the plan to deal with the love-struck woman was made by the master."”
"This one, this old monk doesn't dare to steal the beauty. There's another expert planning it."”
"Grandmaster, can you tell me who the mastermind is?" Longevity Mountain asked.”
"As for this one, I can't tell you, but that person is also here."”
At this moment, the hood of the car moved, and the woman slowly walked out.
Everyone present hated the woman so much that they all looked at her.
She was indeed a very beautiful woman. She had a beautiful outline, a straight nose, curved eyebrows, a cherry mouth, a thin waist, slender hands, and a pair of big black and white eyes. However, what was even more moving was the charm that her entire body emitted and the indescribable sweetness.
She was like a candy, so sweet that it made people drool and want to swallow it.
Such a beauty, but her face was a little pale and lacked that peach blossom color.
However, she was like a person who had just recovered from a disease. She was less beautiful, but more pitiful.
She gently swayed her waist, slowly moved her lotus steps, and naturally shook her chest and hips.
Perhaps it was because she was too famous, so everyone in the hall looked at her very carefully.
Then, he realized something. He realized that the Love Slayer walked differently from others. She swayed her hips and moved her chest, and her entire body was breathing fire when she walked.
The Longevity Mountain frowned and wanted to speak, but stopped.
When the Love Slayer reached Longevity Mountain, she stopped and bowed deeply to Master Dahua. She said slowly,"" Love beheaded girl, greet Master."
Great Master Dahua clapped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist chant."Amitabha, female benefactor lives up to her reputation.”
The Love Severing Woman's seductive eyes swept across the crowd and smiled."Love Slayer, I have something to ask you.”
"Please speak, female benefactor!"”
"Where is the Buddha?" asked the woman. Where is the water flowing?"
Master Dahua said," Water flows to the bottom, and Buddha is in one's heart.”
"The Buddha says that without me, where can the heart be full?" Master, wouldn't it be disgraceful for you to act rashly for a woman like me?”
Dahua Master was startled." The Buddhist Dharma is boundless. Mercy is universal. Three thousand demons will eventually fall into the cycle of reincarnation. If you can put down your butcher knife, I will turn the good karma into kindness and let you pass this tribulation."”
" Master, I'm not a butcher's knife," said the Love Slayer." Master and fellow martial artists from the Central Plains have gathered a lot of good people and set up an ambush to kill me. What's the intention of Lin Han?"”
Master Dahua said," The female benefactor is seductive and has harmed the martial arts world. Many people have died unnaturally. Isn't that a great sin? I am benevolent and exorcise demons to protect the Dao. This is the merciful part of the Buddha."”
"The lust is emptiness, where does the form come from? If it wasn't for the lust in my heart, how could I seduce them with lust? How could I make them follow the example of moths flying into fire?"”
Master Dahua said," I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about Buddhism. It's a pity that you misinterpreted the meaning and used one side to cover the whole. You used evil to chase the good. I feel sorry for you."”
Love Slayer smiled faintly." Sacrifice yourself to feed the tiger, cut your flesh to wait for the eagle. The great Dao of Buddhism is to sacrifice yourself to save others. The old Zen master claims to be an eminent monk of Buddhism, but he keeps saying that he wants to kill me.”
"The Buddhist Sect is merciful and does not save those who have no fate. Female benefactor, you don't have to be so eloquent anymore."”
The woman smiled and said,"From what you're saying, you want me to bleed five steps and be buried here."”
"Amitabha," Master Dahua said,"I've reached the end of the line.”
The woman suddenly closed her eyes and said,""Master, among all of you, only your hands are cleaner. I want to break my heart meridian with one palm and die innocent.”
This time, not only was it out of Great Master Dahua's expectations, even Longevity Mountain was somewhat puzzled.
The woman didn't seem to be pretending. Her face was calm and she looked like she was ready to die.
Dahua Master raised his right palm.
After all, he was an eminent monk. Seeing that a person had no intention of resisting, he couldn't bear to do it.
The eyes of the Longevity Mountain shone brightly as they stared at Great Master Dahua.
When a person was filled with killing intent, it was not the killing intent in his hands or his knife that was immediately revealed, but the killing intent in his eyes.
Dahua Master also understood that if he really struck down with his palm, the Love Slayer would not be able to dodge his lightning strike even if she was not injured, let alone if she was injured internally.
However, the Longevity Mountain could withstand this palm strike.
He gathered his strength and was on full alert, ready to attack.
He did not expect that there would be such a first-class figure in the bodyguard industry.
Great Master Dahua slowly turned his gaze to the Longevity Mountain and said,"Benefactor Wan, what do you say?"
"You can kill the girl who has lost her love, but not now," said Longevity Mountain.”
"Donor Wan, do you know what it means to help a tyrant?"”
"At least, I didn't see the evil act of beheading a lover," said Longevity Mountain.”
"Perhaps the Love Slayer knew that you, Benefactor Wan, were protecting her, so she dared to close her eyes and wait for death."”
The Love Slayer's expression was solemn and she did not say a word.
A gust of wind blew over, causing her clothes to flutter.
Longevity Mountain heaved a sigh of relief and said,""The current situation is very obvious. Although we are few in number, everyone will go all out. This should be a very brutal slaughter. If Grandmaster can win, it will also be a miserable victory!”
"What do you think, benefactor?"”
"Master, draw out the dao child. Let's have a few moves…" Longevity Mountain said.
"Oh…So I beat you?"”
Longevity Mountain said," I, Wan, have retreated from the Bodyguard Agency. I'm famous in Jianghu. The Baotong Bodyguard Agency has also been closed down from now on. But if I defeat you?"”
The great transformation state chanted for a while and said,""I will immediately return to the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song and face the wall for three years.”
"It's a deal. Master, please draw out the Daozi!" Longevity Mountain said.”
"I think it's better for you to decide this topic, benefactor!"”
Longevity Mountain said,"Master, you don't have to decline. I'm waiting for you, Fa Shi."
"Although this method is not the best, it's the only way now. Take three of my palm strikes."”
Longevity Mountain nodded and said,"Alright, Grandmaster, please make your move."”
"Benefactor, be careful."”
With a whoosh, he struck out with his palm.
This palm strike contained a shockingly powerful Vajra Palm.
The old monk had a benevolent heart, hoping that the Longevity Mountain would realize his powerful palm force and change its mind midway, dodging and admitting defeat, withdrawing from this dispute.
However, he had mistakenly chosen the Longevity Mountain.
Longevity Mountain didn't retreat, nor did it use any tricks. It took the palm head-on.
Both sides separated after their palms touched and stood still.
"Alright, take another palm strike from me."”
The second palm strike was sent out with a wave of his hand.
As expected, the Longevity Mountain had received another hard palm strike.
Great Master Dahua felt that the power of the Longevity Mountain's palm was equally powerful as his own.
Frowning, he struck out with his third palm strike.
As expected, the Longevity Mountain received another palm strike head-on.
Dahua Master was stunned. He looked at the Longevity Mountain's cold expression and said,"Benefactor Wan, you have profound skills.”
"Does Grandmaster think that I've lost, or does Grandmaster think that I've lost?"”
"I've lost."”
"Alright, does it count if you leave with me, Grandmaster?" Longevity Mountain said.”
"I'm a Buddhist disciple. I won't testify. I'll go back to Shaolin Temple now."”
She turned around and left quickly.
His monk robe fluttered in the wind, and after a moment, he disappeared without a trace.
The Dahua Grandmaster and the monolith opener were the main forces in this blockade. After these two left, the rest of the people quietly dispersed.
In the Chinese server's martial arts world, the black and white sects joined forces and killed the mistress with ten attacks. Just like that, the tiles were melted and ice melted.
Longevity Mountain stood with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn.
Seeing that the group of heroes had dispersed, he slowly turned around and walked towards the caravan.
However, he had only taken two steps when he suddenly fell to the ground.
The Love Slayer was the closest, and she stretched out her hand to grab the Longevity Mountain.
Lin Chengfang was as fast as the wind as he leaped over and said,""Chief Escort."
Longevity Mountain spat out two mouthfuls of blood and said,""What a powerful monk. What a powerful palm force.”
Han Er quickly arrived, and then the Love Severing Girl supported the Longevity Mountain.
In just a short while, Longevity Mountain's face turned yellow and green. He leaned on Han Er's body, the light in his eyes fading, and he looked extremely weak.
"Chief Escort, are your injuries very serious?" Lin Chengfang asked in a low voice.”
Longevity Mountain nodded but didn't say anything.
The woman took out a jade box and opened it.""Brother Lin, can you trust me?"
Lin Chengfang looked at the jade box and saw a black pill inside.
The pill was the size of a pigeon egg.
Lin Chengfang ordered Han Er to carry the Longevity Mountain into the caravan while saying,""What's that?"
" I heard that Doctor Dog Meat's Heart and Life Protection Pill was made with He Que and thousand-year-old ginseng," said the Love Slayer." He doesn't give it away easily. My little sister sold him two pills and I've already taken one. That's how I managed to keep my injuries from worsening."”
"I'm afraid we can't afford such expensive medicine," Lin Chengfang said.”
" Brother Lin, if you trust me, then let Chief Wan take it. He won't easily give away the Heart and Life Protecting Pill given by the Dog Meat Doctor. He might not be willing to sell it for 1,000 taels of gold, but I only spent 50 copper coins to buy two of his pills."”
Lin Chengfang took the pill and sniffed it before saying,""Thank you, miss. We can move now.”
" The carriage is bumpy," the woman said." After taking the medicine, it's not advisable to move immediately. If Chief Escort Wan needs to adjust his breathing, then sit for a while and wait for the medicine to work before walking."”
"Thank you for your advice," said Lin Chengfang.
His expression was cold. He didn't seem to have a good impression of the woman.
Love Slayer was calm, as if she didn't feel anything. Lin Chengfang, Han Er, and the others got off the caravan and lowered the curtain.
The two Yin-Yang Dual Swords brothers had been standing under a big tree twenty feet away. They would talk in low voices from time to time.
The Love Slayer also returned to her caravan and kept the Yin-Yang Dual Swords in her hands.
After a full hour, Lin Cheng finally walked out of the caravan with a face full of sweat.
The Love Slayer also got out of the car and slowly walked over."Chief Escort's injury…"
"First, his cultivation is profound. Second, the miraculous effect of Miss's divine pill is no longer a problem," Lin Chengfang said coldly.
"Miss, I have something I don't understand. I would like to ask you to…"
"Please speak, Brother Lin."
"You can't beat a Dahua Master, but you're willing to close your eyes and die. I wonder if your desire to die is real?" Lin Chengfang said.”
"What do you think, Brother Lin?"”
"I think it's too risky. If the Dahua Master really makes a move, wouldn't you have lost your life for nothing?" Lin Chengfang said.”
The Love Slayer let out a sigh of relief and said,""That's not pretending."
"In that case, you really want to die?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
" I don't want to die," the woman said." But after weighing the situation, I feel that I have to die. Since I'm going to die, why not die more generously?”"Oh!" Lin Chengfang said.
"It seems that Brother Lin doesn't quite believe me."”
"At least you know that Chief Escort Wan, who is standing right beside you, will not sit idly by and do nothing," Lin Chengfang said.”
"I knew he would help, but I didn't expect him to really save me."”
"Why?" Lin Chengfang asked.
" Because I'm the Head of the Wan Escort," the woman said." Master Dahua is one of the four elders of Shaolin Temple. Thirty years ago, he was already famous in Jianghu. He has been in seclusion for a long time and has never appeared again. I didn't expect him to participate in the assassination of me. To be honest, I didn't explain that he felt that life and death were uncertain after that, so he was ready to die."”
"But you're still alive," Lin Chengfang said.”
" That's because Chief Escort Wan's martial arts are too powerful," said Love Beheader." The Dahua Master's palm power is very powerful. Very few people can take one palm from him, but Chief Escort Wan took three palm strikes from him."”
"But he suffered serious internal injuries," said Lin Chengfang.”
" Master Dahua is not much better off," said the woman." I watched him leave, and he moved very quickly. This kind of spell is very common in the martial arts world. Everyone practices it differently and has their own strengths. However, Chief Escort Wan chose his strengths and weaknesses. He fought head-on with Master Dahua, who was famous for his Vajra Palm.”
"Miss, it seems that you know a lot about the Jianghu," said Lin Chengfang.”
"I'm only ten years old," said the Love Slayer."I've been in the martial arts world for a long time, so I've naturally seen a lot.”
Lin Chengfang looked at the Yin-Yang Dual Swords that were still standing under the tree several feet away and said in a low voice,"Miss, look at the two of them standing under the big tree. Why?”
"They're a little ashamed of their inferiority," said the Love Slayer."They didn't expect the head of your escort agency to have such profound skills."”
"Will they leave just like that?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
" No," the Love Slayer said." If they wanted to leave, they would have left long ago. But they didn't."”
"Will you hate me because of this…" Lin Chengfang said.
" They wouldn't dare to do that. They're not afraid of Escort Leader Wan, but they're afraid of Dahua Master. They've already proven one thing. Dahua Master and Escort Leader Wan are top-notch experts of the same level."”
"Miss, will the Yin-Yang Dual Swords be sincere to you?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
" They're not the same type of people as Brother Lin," said the woman with a smile." We can't be friends with each other. But for now, he won't betray me."”
"Why?" Lin Chengfang asked.
" They have a goal," the Love Slayer said." They also have a delusion. This is the reason why they don't betray me."”
"You're playing with fire by scheming against others. Have you been using these methods to survive in Jianghu all these years?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
The woman smiled bitterly and said," There's no other way. I'm such a person. I'm a person who wanders in the martial world. I'm like bait. I don't know how many people want to eat me. So, I have to think of a way to protect myself."”
"Was the protection of the young lady very successful?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
"So far, there haven't been any major failures.”
"This sentence is puzzling," said Lin Chengfang.”
The woman smiled sweetly." I've seen a lot of things, and I've also heard very vulgar words. What do you want to say to me?" Don't worry, just say it.”
Lin Chengfang sighed and said," Forget it if you don't want to say it. Anyway, we're just escorting you to Xuzhou. After you arrive in Xuzhou, we won't have anything to do with each other anymore."”
" This is probably the darkest time since I entered Jianghu," the Love Executioner said." They can kill me or humiliate me at any time. I can't use my True Qi recklessly. I don't even have the chance to fight with my life. To be honest, I'm not confident that I can escape this dangerous fate. I didn't expect to meet your bodyguard agency..."
"That's why you've dragged me down with you."”
" You guys suffered a lot in Kaifeng Prefecture," the woman said." But I never thought that you would have such first-class skills in the martial arts world. So, I'm very curious."”
"That's strange. What are you curious about?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
"There are many escort agencies in Jianghu, and there are also a few big escort agencies that travel from north to south of the country, but none of them are as outstanding as yours."”
"You praise me too much, Miss."”
" That's why I feel that I'm too lucky," the Love Slayer said." It looks like I can live for at least another 20 years."”
" Sigh," Lin Chengfang said," Miss is not a simple person. We are not bodyguards, so although we have decent martial arts, we are not famous."”
"Brother Lin is…"
Lin Chengfang continued," Although I'm from the martial arts world, my parents are both experts who live in seclusion. I've passed down the rules. You're not allowed to steal or perform on the streets. Unfortunately, the fire burned down all my wealth. To tell you the truth, I was young and had no ability to make a living. That fire burned away my wealth and my life force. Therefore, I could only join the bodyguard agency and survive as a bodyguard.”
"Is it that simple?"”
"What?" Lin Chengfang asked. Does Young Lady not believe me?"
" It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not," the Love Slayer said." I just want to tell you something important right now."”
"Alright!" Lin Chengfang said. Please speak."
"After you return to Xu Prefecture, are you still planning to open the escort agency?" asked the Love Slayer.”
"I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to change professions after eating this line of work," said Lin Chengfang.”
"That means that after Xuzhou, your bureau will still be open as usual and will still accept escort services?"”
"Since the escort agency isn't closed, we can only accept business."”
"I wonder if your bureau still dares to accept a client like my sister?"”
"Young Lady, you don't need to provoke me. I can't decide whether to accept the guarantee or not," Lin Chengfang said.”
"Then who can make the decision?" asked the Love Beheader.”
"Chief Escort," said Lin Chengfang.
"Alright!" Little sister will talk to Chief Escort Wan."
" There are still a few days left on this trip to Xuzhou," Lin Chengfang said." You'd better not disturb him for now. You can talk to him after he recovers."”
"Brother Lin, what do you think of Little Sister, leaving the Head of Escorts aside?"”
"What are you talking about, Miss?" Lin Chengfang asked after a moment of silence.”
"There are many aspects, including my younger sister's behavior.”
"Miss is our customer," Lin Chengfang said."I can't comment on her character."”
"Brother Lin, although you haven't been in the martial world for long, you're very honest and prudent."”
Turning around, the caravan of pedestrians.
The wheels rumbled and the caravan moved on.
The Yin-Yang Dual Swords did not approach the caravan again, but they did not escape either. They just walked far ahead, maintaining a distance of at least ten feet. When they had time, they would even run two to three miles away.
Even if they were to stay in a hotel or in a hotel, the two of them wouldn't stay with Lin Chengfang and the love-struck woman.
The two of them seemed to be deliberately avoiding Lin Chengfang and the love-struck girl.
The journey was surprisingly safe.
It was difficult to report the effect of ten ways of interception. The Central Plains Daoist probably didn't dare to act rashly.
At noon, they entered Xuzhou.
The escort carriage went straight back to Baotong Escort Agency.
Ever since the Love Slayer had talked to Lin Chengfang, she had never left the carriage. The three-foot-long golden boy, Wedge Cheng, and the bell escort, Tian Kun, also followed her to the Baotong Escort Agency in the carriage.
After the caravan entered the main gate, the girl got out of the carriage and smiled."Chief Escort Wan."
"Miss, we've already entered Xuzhou. The agreement between you and my bureau has been terminated…" Longevity Mountain said.
"I know," said the woman."That's why I want to discuss it with the head of the escort.”
"What are we discussing?" Longevity Mountain asked.
"My injuries," said the woman. She hadn't fully recovered yet, so she wanted to stay here for a few days.”
Longevity Mountain was startled.”
"There are many places to stay in Xu Prefecture, but your Bodyguard Agency is the best."”
Longevity Mountain said,"No, there are no wives in the escort agency, so we can't receive you."”
"I haven't had any women to take care of me along the way, so I'm fine, aren't I?"”
"Miss, your head-escorting trip has almost ruined the reputation of our escort agency. We can't accept your business anymore." Lin Chengfang continued.”
"So you're saying that your bureau won't accept the bail?"”
"We can't do anything about it, so we can only give it up," said Lin Chengfang.”
"Killing people, killing people, saving people, saving people, are you not going to care about me anymore?"”
Lin Chengfang smiled and said," Miss, we agreed that once you enter Xuzhou, it has nothing to do with us. If you insist on being protected, why don't you go to a few big escort agencies to take a look? As far as I know, the Four Seas Escort Agency might accept this business."”
"No one else would dare to take the head-dart to protect me, except for your bureau."”
"With such a great reward, there will definitely be brave men. If Young Lady is willing to pay silver, I believe that there will be people who will work for you."”
" It's always the case," the woman said." Although they're willing to risk their lives, it might not be beneficial to me. That's because they can't protect me. Instead, they'll make more enemies for me."”
Lin Chengfang smiled faintly." Miss, our Chief Escort has not recovered from his internal injuries. I have also reached the realm of mental exhaustion. What we need is a break. We don't have the strength to deal with any changes."”
"If that's the case, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave."”
"Good luck, Miss!" Lin Chengfang said with a smile.”
Before the horse could fall into the trap, the caravan turned around and the Love Slayer left the Baotong Bodyguard Agency.
The Yin-Yang Dual Swords were waiting outside the escort agency. Tian Kun was still sitting on the shaft of the carriage, driving the carriage. The three-foot-long golden boy, Ding Sheng, did not get out of the carriage.
As the caravan left the Bodyguard Agency, the Yin-Yang Dual Swords came up to them and said,"Young lady, you were chased out?”
A demonic laugh came from inside the carriage."Minister Guo, Ma Hou, if I were to stay in the Baotong Bodyguard Agency, wouldn't the two of you become ownerless ghosts?”
Minister Guo said," We have to finish what we promised. Even if we want to leave, we will inform your lady first. We can only leave if you agree."”
" Now, we're going through thick and thin together," the Love Slayer said." I, the Love Slayer, need at least five days to recover my strength. So, within these five days, I'll entrust my life to the four of you."”
"Miss, let's find a big inn to stay in. We'll do our best to protect you."”
Tian Kun, who rarely spoke, suddenly opened his mouth and continued,"Brother's view is slightly different from the two of you.”
"What do you think, Brother Tian?" asked Minister Guo.”
"It should be the last resort when it's time for us to take action," Tian Kun said."Therefore, if we can avoid taking action, we don't need to. We only have five days. With a little arrangement, we can cross the river."”
"That's true, but Baotong Bodyguard Agency won't protect us anymore. What should we do?"”
"Go to the Four Seas Escort Agency for insurance," Tian Kun said.”
" The Four Seas Escort Agency is one of the Four Great Escort Agency," Minister Guo said." They are very powerful. However, their headquarters is in Jinling. The few escorts in the Xuzhou branch are probably not stronger than us."”
"I know. That's why we don't need Mutated Smile Silver to get them to send a few experts over from the escort agency."”
"We can't throw another human head dart!" said Minister Guo.”
"We can't use the same trick again," Tian Kun said."This time, we have to protect a batch of very valuable jewelry…"
Minister Guo said," Jewelry. We have to have a batch of jewelry. Besides, what does insuring a batch of jewelry have to do with protecting the lady? They just have to keep the batch of jewelry from being lost and they can explain themselves."”
Tian Kun said," That's why we have to design it. The love-beheaded woman can change her surname to Che so that she can become a young master. As for the two of you, we have to change your appearance."”
"Who are we?" asked Minister Guo.”
"The two of you?" Tian Kun asked. I can only be the coachman for the time being."
"We've accepted your Brother Tian's task, but what status does your Brother Tian have?”
Tian Kun said," As a brother, I was promoted to Chang Sui as Young Master Che, and I became the Young Master of a small wealthy family. I personally sent a large number of precious jewelry to the north, but unfortunately, I fell ill in Xuzhou. I have to stay here for five days. For the safety of the treasure, I have to get it covered by the Four Seas Escort Agency for five days."”
"That makes sense," said Minister Guo.”
After changing his appearance, he headed to the Four Seas Escort Agency in Xu Prefecture.
The Four Seas Escort Agency was one of the Four Great Escort Agency in the world. It had branches in more than ten places, including one in Xu Prefecture.
Although Tian Kun was famous in the martial world, very few people knew him.
He was good at disguising himself and was also eloquent. With the identity of Young Master Che, he headed straight for the Escort Agency.
He was well-dressed and had an imposing manner. In addition, he spoke very loudly. This made the accountant unable to make a decision. He brought him into the inner hall and met the host of the Four Seas Escort Agency's Xuzhou branch.
Although the Four Seas Escort Agency in Xu Zhou was not the main branch, it was still quite grand. Moreover, business was good, and the cars were like flowing water and horses like clouds.
Tian Kun saw Xu Prefecture's Bureau Master, Thunderbolt Blade Wang Rong.
Wang Rong was about forty years old. He had a moderate figure and a black beard. He looked very cultured. He was called Thunderbolt, probably because of his sharp saber skills.
It wasn't easy to be famous. For a great escort agency like the Four Seas Escort Agency to be able to avoid its master for a region, it was no ordinary person.
Tian Kun sized up Wang Rong, and Wang Rong sized up Tian Kun as well.
Wang Rong spoke first and invited the guests to sit down."After hearing the report, your butler wants to discuss a business deal with our bureau.”
Tian Kun said," That's right. Our young master brought a batch of precious jewelry to the north. Unfortunately, he fell ill in Xuzhou. The doctor said that he shouldn't tire himself out in the car. He must recuperate in Xuzhou for a few days."”
Wang Rong smiled and said,"Housekeeper, are you willing to tell me where to go?"”
"This is confidential, so it's not convenient to tell you…" Tian Kun said.
"If it's not convenient to tell you, what is the purpose of the steward's visit?" Wang Rong asked.”
" My master has already made arrangements for all the places we passed along the way," Tian Kun said." But I didn't expect that little master would fall ill in Xuzhou, so…"
Wang Rong continued," I understand. Your butler wants us to protect the safety of the jewelry in Xuzhou."”
"You're right, Chief," Tian Kun said."However, other than that batch of jewels, there's also the safety of the young master."”
Wang Rong laughed and said," Friend, we bodyguards don't treat illnesses. If your master's condition gets worse, we can't guarantee his safety."”
"This, of course, I won't trouble you. I want to ensure that the jewelry won't be robbed, and that the little master won't be harmed by outsiders."”
Wang Rong pondered for a while and said," Butler, in the past half a month, the underworld and the white forces have joined forces to kill the mistress of the Central Plains. The aftermath has been rippling. Although it's not very safe, Xuzhou is a big place with a large army stationed there. As long as your boss doesn't leave Xuzhou City, his people and treasures will be safe. Besides, our bureau is a big company. I don't want to take over such a small business. If there's nothing else, you may leave."”
"I wonder how you measure the size of the transaction?" Tian Kun asked.”
"Business is business, so we naturally use silver as the standard."”
Tian Kun said," That's easy to talk about. My boss has gathered a lot of silver and can't spend it. I only hope that little boss and the jewelry are safe. We don't care about the silver."”
"Oh," Wang Rong said,"So, your butler is deliberately taking care of my business."”
Tian Kun said," You can't say that. Your reputation is great and you are strong. With your protection, little master can rest in peace."”
"What kind of algorithm is the butler preparing?" Wang Rong asked.”
Tian Kun said," We'll pay you by the day. The time we stay in Xuzhou will be at least five days and at most seven days. The price will be set by your bureau. We'll pay in advance and pay it all at once."”
"Alright!" Wang Rong nodded. This time, we will accept the mission.”
"I have another request."”
"Please speak, Butler," Wang Rong said.
"We need the protection of the best escorts in your bureau. If the bureau master feels that he doesn't have enough manpower, then please ask the headquarters to transfer some experts over."”
"Is it that serious?" Wang Rong asked.”
"I have a feeling that someone has been secretly tracking us for the past two days. However, that person is very smart. We have never discovered his identity."”
Wang Rong smiled." If the housekeeper has set a lot of conditions, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to negotiate the price."”
Tian Kun said,"Don't worry about this. We will pay you the amount of silver."”
