Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 46 Chicken Soup
Several escorts from the Fuwei Escort Agency looked outside the temple door, each looking shocked.

Last year, Fuwei Escort Bureau escorted escorts from Quanzhou to Changsha Prefecture. On the way back, they happened to meet Wentai at a hotel in Taojiang. He was fighting with a young man of his generation. At that time, he happened to be back in the city and joined in the fun when he had time.

When Mr. Lin saw Wing Tai's power in Taojiang, he once sighed: "It would be great if my family had such martial arts skills."

Several fellow escorts even complimented the young escort, showing their relief.

This year I went to Linjiang, Jiujiang again, and the bet was a letter escort. Traveling lightly and simply, I inquired about news from the north and the south, and learned about recent events in Hengyang City.

On the way back, I met the escort who was a regular customer, so I didn't have time to find out whether the news was true or false.

At first, everyone only listened to the rumor that "the Thunderbolt Hand was defeated by the young escort in one move" as a joke. The more ridiculous it was, the more it made people laugh.

Who would have thought that this person seemed to have really happened to them.

"Chief Guard, why do you think this young man is so powerful?" Guard Chief Wang smiled, "My boy is two years older than him. He can also play small swordsmanship and stick, but he is quite inferior to Thunder Hands."

Lin Zhennan smoked the cigarette pole again.

“It’s not simple”

"He is not like an ordinary bodyguard. Not to mention his martial arts skills, Mr. Long's attitude is thought-provoking. His conversation is almost like that of an equal."

"Although Changrui's business is not as prosperous as ours, they are rooted in Hengyang and backed by Nanyue Hengshan Mountain, so their foundation is stronger than ours."

"Just imagine, if this young man had no ability, how could Mr. Long think so highly of him?"

"It makes sense." Several escort leaders were convinced.

"As the saying goes, acquaintance is shallow but deep is not deep," Lin Zhennan smiled peacefully, "It's an unexpected blessing to have a face to say hello to him. I saw that he was polite, and I will see if there is a chance to make friends with him in the future."

Lin Zhennan looked outside the temple again and secretly compared his own child with it.

Then he shook his head helplessly, and then showed a kind and doting smile.

"The land of Xiaoxiang is full of talented people. When I go back this time, I will test Liao Pingzhi's martial arts more."

……

When Zhao Rong returned with Long Changxu, he also mentioned some things with Fuwei Escort, such as the sword technique to ward off evil spirits.

Although Mr. Lin's bodyguard has martial arts skills, compared with his ancestors, there is a world of difference. The Lin family's business is big, but it doesn't rely on swordsmanship to make a living.

Lu Gui not only agreed with Long Changxu's words, but even suspected that Lin Yuantu's strength was hyped, after all, he had never seen it before.

Zhao Rong chuckled.

Not strong?

Switch to the chickenless form and you will understand the strength.

The evening breeze was blowing, and the two rhubarbs brought by the Red Wolf Gang lay on the slope and took a nap, sleeping soundly. The two escort agencies spent an extremely peaceful night near the ruined temple.

The Changrui Escort Agency outside the temple set off first, and the people from the Fuwei Escort Agency followed behind, all heading towards Le'an.

The two families took care of each other for a while, and it was actually safe.

We walked for a while and rested for a while. After lunch, we walked for another half an hour and were almost arriving at Le'an.

There are fewer and fewer predators along the way, and the flow of people is increasing. Villages are clustered within a few miles, rice fields can be seen everywhere, and farmers are resting by the pots and pots under the citrus and mulberry trees, giving Zhao Rong a picture of a man working as a farmer and a woman working as a farmer. A simple picture of weaving.

"Every year is the same. When I took this escort trip last year, I remembered that there were not so many households in the village here, and the fields were not so flat." Lu Gui sighed slightly.

"They all come out of the hardships of Ruhanchewing."

Zhao Rong said: "When there is a good harvest, Jiangxi people will store all the pots and jars at home with rice. During the winter leisure, the men will go out to do small business, and the women will stay at home to raise pigs and weave cloth. They will figure out how to live their lives. , attaches great importance to the fruits of one's own labor, and in turn attaches great importance to one's own reputation and fame."

"No wonder I always feel like they care about everything." Lu Gui looked stunned, then suddenly wondered, "You have been fishing, how do you know so much?"

"Although I am a fisherman, I like to study in the Spring and Autumn Period." Zhao Rong waved his riding whip proudly and drove his horse to the roadside.

Shi Xian wrote on Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province, "The water flows down three thousand feet." When he stood on Lushan Mountain and looked at the fields at the foot of the mountain, he saw again, "Yellow clouds are moving thousands of miles away."

Zhao Rong was in a good mood while walking this section of the road, but when he arrived at Le'an City, he immediately became alert.

Everyone knows that Le'an is a peaceful place. The group of Changrui Escorts became quite loose from the moment they approached the city. Some stretched themselves out, some smiled, and some said they wanted to have a small drink.

The more this happened, the more Zhao Rong felt that those people would take action.

Common sense can sometimes be misleading.

Le'an was peaceful. That was before Changrui Escort came. At this time, everyone relaxed their vigilance. It was definitely the best time to take action.

Many people in the city saw a large group of them entering the city, and knowing the taboo of escorting escorts, they just watched the excitement. Except for the vendors selling food along the street, no one talked to them.

Finding an inn is also very particular. Don't stay in a newly opened inn, don't stay in an old inn that has just changed owners, and don't stay in a brothel.

Long Changxu was familiar with the streets and found a large chain store nearby in the east of the city. There was "Yelai Inn" on the plaque.

Just stay in the hotel, no meals.

A few people shared a room, and people were assigned to take turns guarding the goods. In the middle of the afternoon, everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

"It's an extra meal tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anything hot until dark," Lu Gui curled his lips, "Everyone is very happy, and they are very talkative when traveling these days."

"It's not about killing chickens."

"Well, the chickens are freshly killed," Lu Gui nodded, "Master Wu's suggestion is good. The chicken soup cooked by Old Feng is very fresh. When the time comes, I will ask him to leave a chicken leg for you and bring more meat."

"Don't eat any solid food today."

Zhao Rong frowned when he saw Lu Gui relaxing his tense nerves for a moment.

Looking at the sun that was about to set, he suddenly felt uneasy: "Brother Lu, I have an ominous premonition."

"I won't drink chicken soup."

Seeing his appearance, Lu Gui didn't dare to be careless and said in a deep voice, "I'll go to the kitchen and keep an eye on him."

"it is good."

Zhao Rong went to Lu Shilai again and inspected Xingdao Temple together. I checked everything inside and out, and there was indeed nothing wrong with it.

There are houses and alleys around the inn, and the city wall is not high. Walking further east, you can see the bamboo forest outside the city, with large green bamboos swaying in the autumn wind.

Zhao Rong took advantage of the situation and surveyed the surrounding terrain before returning to Yuelai Inn.

The sky is getting darker and darker.

"Brother Rong, I have checked. There is no problem with the food eaten by animals and eaten by humans. Each one is fresher than the last. Old Feng is a relative of the chief escort, and is not something others can pretend to be."

"I asked around, and everyone looked like a mole, which made some people unhappy."

Lu Gui shook his head helplessly, "Especially when I pulled Old Feng's face to see if he was disguised, he almost chopped me with a knife."

"The chief escort and the master of the witch hall all told me to calm down."

"Thank you for your hard work, brother." Zhao Rong smiled bitterly and patted his shoulder.

"Fuck, the more they resist, the more I think what Brother Rong said makes sense."

"..."

Not long after, the night fell completely.

Pieces of dark clouds covered the moon, lights were on in Le'an City, there were no pedestrians on the road, and night crows squatted on the rubble and screamed loudly.

"Here comes the chicken soup~!"

The meals at Changrui Escort Bureau were finally prepared, and a group of men cheered.

The cook Lao Feng was preparing rice and serving soup for people in the shed set up. The people from the Red Wolf Gang and Chang Rui brought out bowls of soup and rice and ate them beautifully.

Zhao Rong saw Wu Xilei giving a bowl of soup to the two big yellow dogs.

Before the dogs finished eating to see their reaction, everyone couldn't resist the temptation of chicken soup and started eating in large quantities.

Long Changxu, Xie Weixin and others also held bowls of soup.

Dou Yingzu, the iron pole bearer, picked up a large bowl of soup and drank it.

At this time, Lu Gui brought two bowls of chicken soup.

He gave the bowl with more meat to Zhao Rong.

"Let's make do, I didn't catch the chicken legs, they robbed them all."

"What a bastard," Lu Gui scolded, "You don't even know how to take care of your child. You are still growing."

There is a layer of bright yellow oil floating on the soup bowl, and the delicious flavor is tantalizing.

Zhao Rong tilted his head and suddenly found the Wu Hall Master looking at him.

"Don't eat it yet!"
