Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 155
In Jiangzhou, the Zhenfeng Escort Bureau was not called the Great Escort Bureau, it was founded by Nie Feng's grandfather.Ten years ago, the old man lost his hand during a dart trip and died. Then Nie Feng's father Nie Zhenggang took over the dart board.

Father Nie is good at communication, but his own martial arts is sloppy, so he pins his hopes on his son Nie Feng.

From childhood, Nie Feng began to learn various martial arts. When he was 12 years old, he officially became a teacher of Taoist Baiguan and learned "Jiamabu".

To bet on darts and take goods, light work is very important.

It's just that "Jiamabu" was born out of the earth's magic technique "God's Walk", and it is not a simple kung fu. If you want to learn it well, it requires a lot of heart and mind from the practitioner.But Nie Feng, as a disciple of the lay school, was troubled by many common things on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was difficult to stick to all kinds of clear rules and precepts. In the end, he only learned half-baked.As he became an adult, he left his teacher and went home to help take care of the affairs of the Escort Bureau.

This time the Escort Bureau received a batch of valuable escort goods, the matter was of great importance and no loss could be tolerated, so the Nie family and his sons started to make connections one after another, looking for someone to help escort them.

Nie Feng originally wanted to invite senior brother Su Yun to join him, but Su Yun had a business to do, so he recommended Gu Leyou.

Nie Feng didn't know much about this Taoist from Lingnan, but since his brother recommended him, he should be reliable.

About this, it is natural to tell my father.

Nie Zhenggang said: "Feng'er, I believe in Su Yun's vision, but Daoren Gu has found other friends, and the relationship will become complicated and entangled."

Nie Feng hurriedly said: "Father, Daoist Gu said that his friend is ill and cannot come."

Nie Zhenggang nodded: "That's fine, otherwise one more person who doesn't know what to follow will join, and you don't know what will happen."

Nie Feng asked, "What can I do? We are all friends."

Nie Zhenggang sighed: "Feng'er, you are still too simple to know the dangers of the world. Your friends may be reliable, but friends of friends are estranged. People are separated from each other, so we must be careful."

Just as they were talking, the door came to report that two people had come to the door, and that Nie Feng had invited them.

Two people?
Nie Feng was stunned, and hurried out to greet him. He saw Gu Leyou, but he didn't know the other one.

Gu Leyou introduced: "Brother Nie, this is the friend I told you about, Ah Jin."

Nie Feng said "Oh" and asked, "Didn't you say Brother Ah Jin is sick?"

Chen Jin explained: "It is indeed a little uncomfortable, but it is not a serious problem."

Nie Feng took a look at him, he was handsome, he didn't look like a junior, he had a good impression, but he soon remembered his father's warning: Don't judge a person by appearance.

Soon Nie Zhenggang also came out, and made some introductions and greetings.He was very enthusiastic, welcomed Gu Leyou and Chen Jin, expressed his thanks, and then arranged for them to serve tea in the hall.

Nie Feng couldn't help asking: "Father, aren't you unwilling to let outsiders who don't know how to follow you join?"

Nie Zhenggang replied: "But people are here, do you want to drive him away? That's a taboo in communication. If you offend people to death, the gain is not worth the loss. The visitor is a guest, and it is good to entertain him."

Nie Feng suddenly felt like he had learned it again.

Nie Zhenggang said again: "These two people, Daoist Gu's style is obviously more grand, and he must be capable. As for that Ah Jin, who is dressed in ordinary clothes, he is probably a warrior who has wandered around the world, and he has taken a fancy to our family. Remuneration, even if you are sick, you have to come and make a trip to make up the number."

Nie Feng hurriedly said: "Father is right, senior brother said that Daoist Gu is the master of Izumo Temple in Lingnan. Although it is a small Taoist temple in the wilderness, he must have his own skills and means to be the master of the temple."

Nie Zhenggang has traveled all over the world, has rich experience, and has a wide range of vision, so he doesn't think a small Taoist temple has much strength.In the Qian Dynasty, there were countless similar Taoist temples.However, if you become a temple master at a young age, most of the old people in the temple have problems.For example, in Yunshan Temple, Taoist Baiguan is not in good health, so the position of the master of the temple will soon be passed on to Su Yun.

But even if he becomes the temple master, Su Yun still won't quit his job at the posthouse, and will continue to be his "urgent messenger".

To put it bluntly, it's just a job as an errand in charge of running errands.

However, having the identity of a viewer, after all, is much more respectable and more respectable.

……

Gu Leyou and Chen Jin came to the hall and found that there were already three people sitting here.An old man in sixties, and two burly middle-aged men, seeing their bulging temples on both sides, they are clearly martial artists who have been trained to a certain degree by their foreign families.

The sixtieth old man had a peaceful face, and held two iron galls in the palm of his right hand, which were round and bright, and when they rubbed against each other, they made a clear sound.

These three are all helpers invited by Nie Zhenggang.

The guests sat down, and the host could not be neglected. Nie and his son had a conversation in the front hall, and hurried over to accompany them, and made introductions.

Compared with Gu Leyou and Chen Jin's unknown identities, those three are well-known in the Jiangzhou circle, especially the old man Huang Zhongheng, who is known as the "Iron Brave Master" and has a prominent reputation; the other two are also very famous. Wei Meng, an "arhat with iron arms" Luo Jiazhi, and a "thunder-running hand" Shi Mingsheng.

Those who venture into the rivers and lakes don't have a dignified nickname, and they are too embarrassed to greet people.As the saying goes, "a person's name is the shadow of a tree", in many cases, you only need to report your own name, and you can make the other party clasp your fists and say "I have long admired and admired you for a long time" very politely.

Hearing the nicknames of the three, Chen Jin and Gu Leyou looked at each other, and continued to drink tea and eat snacks calmly.

When everyone is here, let's start talking about business.

The escorts received by the Zhenfeng Escort Bureau this time are two big carts, Jinling Yunjin, which are unique in the local area, and the price is not cheap.

There are two big trucks, for the Zhenfeng Escort, if there is any mistake, it will have to pay for it, so there is no room for loss.

This batch of brocade brocades departed from Jiangzhou and was sent to Yun County thousands of miles away. The normal journey would take about three days, which was not a short journey.However, the route is all on the official road, there are no dangerous mountains and rivers, and it is a smooth road.

Tie Dan master Huang Zhongheng questioned: "Brother Nie, this escort is going on the big road, and you don't have to travel all night, so why do you have to be so nervous? With escorts and escorts from the escort agency, there is basically no problem. "

Nie Zhenggang hurriedly said: "Brother Huang doesn't know something. The road outside the city is not peaceful at present. There are bandits causing trouble, and there are rumors of evil spirits. I invite everyone to come, just to make sure that there are no mistakes. If the goods go out Not only the issue of compensation, but also the signboard of my bodyguard agency will be smashed, and there will be no place to stand."

Ben Leishou Shi Mingsheng smiled and said: "Brother Nie, you are too cautious. The Zhenfeng Escort Bureau is strong and strong, how dare those rogues come to make trouble? As for the rumors of evil spirits, they are just rumors. It has been rumored for a year or two, and nothing has been seen. thing."

Nie Zhenggang said: "When we walk the darts, we walk with caution. We have to be careful."

"Iron-armed Arhat" Luo Jiazhi said indifferently: "Brother Nie, since you invited us, we have nothing to say, but I think you are making a big fuss and wasting so much money for nothing. Our friends for so many years, we take your money if we don't do anything , sorry."

Nie Zhenggang immediately said: "It's safe and sound, and the delivery of the escort is a happy thing for everyone. Is there anything to be sorry about?"

After everyone heard what he said, they stopped talking.

Gu Leyou said: "May I ask Chief Escort Nie, when are we going to leave? Wouldn't it be nice to go and come back quickly?"

"Guanzhu, please be safe and don't be impatient. You can start the journey after the passengers have packed up. Everyone, please have tea and some snacks in the hall first."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands, Nie Zhenggang made a confession, and went out to work, leaving Nie Feng as his companion.

However, Nie Feng was still young and inexperienced, so he didn't know how to stir up an atmosphere, which made the two sides clearly separated.

After waiting for about half an hour, Nie Zhenggang strode in and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry for the long wait, you can start now."

Everyone got up one after another and came to the practice field in the front yard. They saw that three carriages had been prepared, two of which were loaded with brocade, and the remaining one was loaded with various supplies.

As for the bodyguard bureau, the young bodyguard master Nie Feng was leading the team, with two experienced bodyguard heads and ten troopers.Nie Zhenggang, the head of the bodyguard, stayed behind, sitting in the bodyguard bureau.

The Escort Bureau prepared another five healthy horses for Huang Zhongheng and the others to ride, exactly one for each of them.

Gu Leyou was impolite, and directly picked two good horses, one for himself and the other for Chen Jin: "Scholar, I don't think you have ridden a horse before?"

Chen Jin said: "I used to ride when I was driving a carriage, besides, what's so difficult about riding a horse?"

Gu Leyou laughed dumbfounded: "Indeed."

The conversation between the two didn't hide their intentions. When Huang Zhongheng and others heard it, everyone showed surprise: I haven't ridden a horse before, so what kind of wandering is it?Animals that pull carts are not the same thing as horses that travel.

The horse that Gu Leyou led to Chen Jin was quite strong, and it was undoubtedly a good horse, but the temperament of a healthy horse was unavoidably tough, and he would not accept being ridden by strangers.

Nie Feng couldn't help stealing a peek to see if Chen Jin would make a fool of himself.

"Yu!"

Chen Jin took the rein and got on the horse. His movements were elegant and beautiful, but the healthy horse immediately shook its head and neighed, as if it didn't want to be his mount.

"Don't make trouble!"

Chen Jin said, stretched out his hand and patted the horse's head twice.

Strange to say, this healthy horse immediately became calm and honest.

Nie Feng stared blankly, thinking what kind of method is this?Could he still tame horses...

No time to think, enough time to set off.

Escorts take goods, and there is a set of solemn rituals when going out, and they will burn incense and worship gods, praying for a smooth journey and a safe journey.

After finishing all this, the driver who led the way struck the gong in his hand vigorously, shouting: "Revitalize the future, the years will be prosperous, let's get up!"

A line of chariots and horses walked into the breeze and drizzle.

A team composed of different people naturally has a division of labor, and Gu Leyou and Chen Jin are placed on the weak side of the team.

Even on horseback, Chen Jin quickly entered the state and began to rest his mind and practice kung fu.

Seeing this, Gu Leyou, who wanted to chat with him, didn't bother him, and was very impressed.Among other things, this diligence alone is far beyond ordinary people. It is no wonder that being able to master so many magic arts is not only due to talent, but also inseparable from all kinds of hard work.

The Escort team left the city smoothly and marched along the official road, neither fast nor slow.

During this period of time, the wind and rain continued, making the official road appear muddy, but overall, it is still easy to walk, and there will be no wheel pits.

This walk lasted for several hours, and it was not until dusk that he stopped in a township to start.

The route from Jiangzhou to Yun County is no stranger to Zhenfeng Escorts, it is a frequent route, and the conditions along the way are quite familiar, so there will never be any missed places.

This was also one of the reasons why Huang Zhongheng and the others thought that Nie Zhenggang was making a fuss out of a molehill, and there was no need to invite so many people to guard him.

Although they have been friends for many years, they have to be rewarded for asking people to help. For those who are on the road, it is better to pay money than to owe favors.

The debt of favor is the hardest to repay.

The conditions in the villages and towns are quite simple, and the inns can't accommodate so many people, so they can only live with multiple people.

Gu Leyou and Chen Jin lived in the same room. After dinner, the two came to the room and glanced at the environment inside. Chen Jin sat down on the floor without comment.For a practitioner like him, he doesn't have to sleep on his side, sitting up is also fine.

Gu Leyou went out again, and came back a quarter of an hour later, and put a large plate on the ground as if by magic.

It is a large plate of fried peanuts, with a lingering aroma.

Then he took out the wine gourd and two jade cups and filled them up respectively: "Scholar, come, let's have a drink."

"it is good."

Chen Jin picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Gu Leyou said with a smile: "You are still so impatient, drinking too fast."

"You have to drink fast for good wine, so you can drink a few more glasses."

"Really? Much, not much!"

The two looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing out loud when they remembered the first acquaintance.

There is no need to drink with meat, a plate of fried peanuts is enough.With one or two bosom friends, we can talk all night.

At the moment, Gu Leyou is mainly talking and Chen Jin is listening.

After opening the chatter box, Gu Leyou was talking non-stop, mainly talking about the various reward tasks he received in the Patrol Division recently.

These missions didn't have too many bizarre things, they were quite satisfactory, and they didn't encounter many dangers, so they were enough to handle.

However, Chen Jin heard Gu Leyou's progress. It's not surprising that Taoist priests are inherently talented. As long as they are willing to work hard, no matter whether they practice Taoism or martial arts, they will definitely make great progress.

"A lot of tasks have been done, but the rewards are not much. The Jiangzhou police officer is stingy."

Gu Leyou is not without complaints.

Chen Jin said: "If the reward is high, the risk is also high. There is no need to take risks."

"That's... Scholar, what do you think of this dart walk?"

"What's your opinion?"

Gu Leyou rubbed his chin: "I always feel a little weird. According to my understanding of this industry, the fee that Zhenfeng Security Bureau can get for transporting two trucks of Yunjin may not be enough to pay us."

Chen Jin said calmly: "So?"

Gu Leyou lowered his voice: "I suspect that the bodyguards escorted by the bodyguard bureau have other secrets, and it may be on Nie Feng."

Chen Jin shrugged: "If it is a valuable thing, it is understandable to use a trick to hide it."

Gu Leyou curled his mouth: "I'm not happy with their hidden behavior, as if they are guarding against thieves."

Chen Jin smiled: "We are outsiders after all, and those who have treasures, as long as they see outsiders, they will think that the other party is a thief."

"Okay, you're right, forget about it and keep drinking!"
