Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 26 Backer
After the chief escort officer Long Changxu returned to the escort agency, he first called escort chiefs Lu and Jin.

Several key figures reviewed recent events to avoid omissions. Most of an hour passed, and another bodyguard, He Daren, who came back with Long Changxu, looked unbelieving.

"Brother Lu, is it true that little brother Zhao was introduced by Bao Datong through a letter?"

"Can we still have a holiday?"

Lu Shilai smiled proudly, "The letter is still in my hand. Brother He, do you want to read it?"

"No, no."

"I just didn't expect that it would be Bao Datong who solved Brother Lu's heart. I am also planning to introduce my nephew to you at the end of the year, so as to see if I can make the third master fall in love with him."

If it were in the past, Lu Shilai would really try. After all, as a disciple, he never made his mentor happy.

When he was down and out, it was Liu Sanye who changed his life.

Senior brothers Xiang Danian and Mi Weiyi were the most outstanding disciples of their mentor, and their martial arts skills were not comparable to that of Lu Shilai. However, looking at the Five Mountains, these two senior brothers could hardly be considered top-notch.

Lu Shilai wanted to find an outstanding successor to his mentor.

Now that all the yellow sand has been sifted, I finally see the gold.

Lu Shilai was just waiting for this gift at the end of the year, so that he could take advantage of his mentor's great joy to accept Zhao Rong as his personal successor. Then based on his relationship with Zhao Rong, his status would definitely rise in the future.

This is a great thing that kills three birds with one stone.

So when he mentioned Zhao Rong, Lao Lu felt proud and full of joy.

"I heard that Brother He's nephew knows a lot about Qin Xiao, and my teacher must like it. However, the study of music and temperament is as old as the present, and the teacher's test will be more stringent. If he is not allowed to study for another year, Bo Wen Guang Ji, Next year, I will make further arrangements for him.”

In other words.

Seats are limited, and it won't work if you go through the back door and jump in line, so you have to wait.

The nephew He Daren mentioned was a direct descendant of the He family and had been in the medicinal business for generations. The headquarters is in Chenzhou, but the business can reach the south of the Yangtze River. Lu Shilai held back his words because he did not want to offend the wealthy businessmen with official backgrounds.

He Daren was a wise man. He said yes with a smile and congratulated him again and again.

Even the head of the He family, the main line of his clan, did not dare to offend the Hengshan Sword Sect. How could he, a subordinate lineage who was the microphone, be at odds with Lu Shilai over such a thing.

What about the wealthy party?

In the eyes of some martial arts people, they are just children walking through the busy city holding gold and silver.

Long Changxu's eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.

They then brought the topic to Sanhemen and the missing escort cargo in Poyang Lake. After some secret discussion, the three chief escorts of Chang Rui went to the hall to meet the guests, while Long Ping, who was busy in front, was found by the chief escort.

The two parties are cousins, so it's good to have a small relationship.

Long Ping said bluntly: "Cousin, have you gone to see the horse you bought?"

"Look, it's very good!"

Long Changxu was delighted. "It's better than what the Xiliang horse dealer said. Hmm. It could also be that Lu Gui is good at raising horses, and the horses he raised are fat and strong."

"but."

"This horse is very fierce. It has not been tamed by Lu Gui until now. When I went to see it, this beast looked at me with blank eyes. It is very smart. It is definitely a good horse."

"Just wait and see, I will conquer him sooner or later." He was eager to try.

"no no no"

Long Ping shook her hands repeatedly: "Cousin, I advise you to do a favor and give the horse away."

"Oh?"

Long Changxu frowned. It took a lot of effort to get this bone-piercing dragon, and it even cost four hundred taels of silver!

A favor?

He would like to hear Long Ping's wise words.

"Lu Gui is good at raising and taming horses, but there is nothing he can do about this Penetrating Dragon. But Zhao Rong only left for a moment, and the Penetrating Dragon surrendered obediently. Cousin, you don't have this ability either."

"I think he quite likes the Teguosaurus."

"It's better for you to do what you want now than to give him ten or a hundred horses later. If our Dingsheng Martial Arts School operates in Hengyang, I will definitely be more decisive than you."

Biaotou Lu didn't mention this matter to Long Changxu, but he felt it was new when Long Ping brought it up.

As the chief escort of the Changrui Escort Agency, Long Changxu had been taught by senior Hengshan in his early years. He had martial arts skills and many friends in the world.

There are many talented teenagers. Therefore, when Long Changxu first heard the name Zhao Rong, his emotions did not fluctuate that much, and he did not have a knot in his heart like Lu Shilai.

His cousin suddenly asked him to bring a precious thousand-mile horse as a favor, but he was really reluctant to part with it, or he didn't feel the need to do this.

Long Changxu was familiar with Long Ping's character and took the matter to heart after listening to her.

"Cousin, you belong to the third master, and the bodyguard agency ultimately relies on the Hengshan faction to do its work."

"Lu Shilai has been to the Liu Mansion several times and has met Senior Brother Xiang and the others. Judging from his attitude, it is certain that Zhao Rong will become his disciple. The end of the year will be the moment when he soars into the sky."

"With the martial arts talent Zhao Rong has shown, he will definitely inherit the mantle of Third Master."

"even."

"the student surpasses the master."

Long Ping sighed: "Nowadays, the martial arts world is in chaos and undercurrents are surging. Who doesn't want to find a stable backer?"

"Cousin, my sister will let you know."

"I have informed my eldest brother in a letter that the Hengsheng Martial Arts School must take action. Our Changde Mansion has been very unstable recently, and many martial arts celebrities have been in trouble. My little sister is not as familiar with the Third Master as you are, so we can only make plans in advance."

Beyond the lines.

Dingsheng Martial Arts School will take the opportunity to move closer to the new forces in Hengshan, just like Long Changxu moved closer to Liu Sanye.

He is also advising Long Changxu not to think that just by binding the third master, he will be able to sit back and relax.

This escort robbery incident, and even the subsequent attack on the escort agency, was the most embarrassing one.

Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but Long Ping always felt that Zhao Rong was not simple.

Dingsheng Martial Arts went south this time, not only to help with boxing, but also to find a way out.

Their backer, Wuling Kuai Dao, is old and his influence in the Changde area is getting worse.

The old man doesn’t even have a decent apprentice.

Now that Zhao Rong was discovered, Long Ping was overjoyed.

She drank a cup of tea, turned around and went out, leaving the chief escort alone.

Long Changxu wanted to talk to Zhao Rong, but Lu Shilai arranged for him and Pu Kui to greet the guests at the city gate, so as to get acquainted with their fellow Jianghu friends first.

At this moment, the head escort was a bit confused.

He was bound to Liu Sanye's warship, and now Zhao Rong suddenly appeared, and he would also be part of Sanye's family.

The formal apprenticeship has not yet been completed. If the Tou Gu Dragon is given as a gift, what should I give to the third master?

The escort was lost on this trip to Poyang Lake, and Long Changxu was bleeding heavily.

This gathering of comrades will strengthen the momentum, so that merchants will not lose confidence in Changrui, and it will also make the escorts feel at ease.

The second is to protest against the death of the disciples in Hengshan and to do a good job.

The third is to intimidate the escort robbers so that they can weigh it.

At this point, Long Changxu had other preparations.

As for the matter of beating and killing, I am afraid that the chief escort of any escort agency would not be willing to do it.

The Sanhemen and Zhenyuan escort agencies came unexpectedly, giving Long Changxu a headache.

There is a Taishan faction behind them, and the Hengshan faction doesn't want to end up.

Most of the time, people below have done something, while people above are watching, and you have to earn your own face.

As long as the Sanhemen people slightly disrupt the banquet and avoid embarrassing the Hengshan sect, they can spread the news widely, which will inevitably break the trust of merchants and seize the Changrui Escort Bureau's share in Linjiang and Jiujiang.

The head escort touched a wisp of beard on his chin, his thoughts changing as he frowned.

Let’s put aside the matter between Zhao Rong and Tougulong for the time being.

Two hours later, a lantern lit up at the door of Changrui Escort Agency.

The dinner begins.
