Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 20 More money is needed

Zhou Ping left a drop of blood on the ground, and a red dot appeared on the panel.

You can leave two marking points at the end of the world.

All along, Zhou Ping only kept one in his room.

Now that he had saved the third wife Liu Ruyan, Zhou Ping didn't know how to cover up his lie.

Can a mind sleeve arrow plus the ability to sense spiritual energy kill a tenth-grade monster?
No normal person would believe Zhou Ping’s lies.

Zhou Ping didn't want to expose his strength.

A warrior who has reached the tenth level and is still running short-distance missions all day long will arouse suspicion.

As for saying that a hero saved several people, this reason is a bit far-fetched. Zhou Ping can't always use this excuse.

So Zhou Ping thought of the world being so close.

It's okay to have heroes, but you need to convince the people in the escort agency.

Zhou Ping made a mark on the ground, and then hugged Liu Ruyan the next moment.

But when hugging the person, Zhou Ping gently grasped the roundness under the waist.

It was so soft and full that Zhou Ping's hand could only hold a small part of it.

This was the third time Zhou Ping had close contact with the third wife, Liu Ruyan.

"I saved you three times, so it's not a loss to collect some money."

The next moment, Zhou Ping and Liu Ruyan disappeared from the spot.

About an hour later, Zhou Ping appeared in the forest again.

It was still the same as when we left, with the headless man in black and Scar lying on the ground.

Zhou Ping clicked on the panel.

[Lifespan: 25 years, 6 months, 5 days]

【Telepathic finger: two】

[The End of the World: Zero]

[Go on a convoy to achieve immortality, do not ask about worldly affairs]

On the right side of the panel, the two white dots representing the cargo and destination have disappeared, and the words for the life bonus have also disappeared.

Zhou Ping lived three more years.

Just now, Zhou Ping teleported back home with the third wife, and then sent her to the door of the He family under the cover of night.

This mission was rewarded with three more years of life.

In this way, Zhou Ping can explain the matter of "hero".

The hero came to the rescue and then returned to Qinghe County with his third wife Liu Ruyan.

Zhou Ping had a perfect alibi.

As for why Yingxiong brought his third wife Liu Ruyan back to Qinghe County, there is a better explanation: the He family had done Yingxiong a favor.

returning a Favour many times more.

It is reasonable to save people and then send them back.

Zhou Ping's mind moved, and the panel changed again.

[Lifespan: 23 years, 6 months and 5 days]

【Telepathic finger: three】

[The End of the World: 1]

[Go on a convoy to achieve immortality, do not ask about worldly affairs]

Zhou Ping felt insecure without activating these two skills.

Lingxi can defend against attacks with just one finger, and Tianyazhichi can escape at the critical moment.

As soon as the sun rose, Uncle Bo prepared to arrange people to go into the mountains to look for someone.

Although it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, I must find the person alive or the body dead.

"Uncle Lame, I'm back."

Zhou Ping had a scar on his face and a dagger on his waist.

The escorts rushed to take Scar and treat him.

"Zhou Ping, Scar, you're back. I thought you were dead."

Chen Erdan saw Zhou Ping and Dao Ba, whom he had not seen all night, and tears welled up in his eyes. Who would want to see their friend in the morning, but see him become a cold corpse overnight?
"Zhou Ping, you guys are back?"

Uncle Lame's tone was full of disbelief and surprise.

In Uncle Lame's eyes, Zhou Ping and Scar are most likely dead.

When Uncle Lame was fighting with the two men in black, he discovered that these two men had at least reached the perfect level of tenth-grade cultivation, and their moves were fierce and efficient, making them obviously masters.

Uncle Bo felt that he was no match for the two when he was young.

In the entire Yan Family Escort Agency, perhaps only the head of the Yan Family can compare with these two people.

In Uncle Lame's heart, Zhou Ping and Scar are not even worth a dime.

But now Zhou Ping came back with a scar on his face.

Uncle Lame holds a high position in the Yan Family Escort Agency and is usually very serious, so few people get close to him.

Zhou Ping is very different. Although he is cautious, he is good at talking.

Uncle Bo didn't want anything to happen to Zhou Ping. That would mean losing a lot of fun.

"We encountered bandits in the mountains, and Scar was seriously injured."

Zhou Ping briefly explained it.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. The escort agency has done its best. As for the Third Madam, we can only leave it to fate."

Uncle Lame sighed.

Uncle Lame knew that the other party didn't seem to want to kill anyone.

Since the person was kidnapped, it could only be kidnapping or the man was attracted by the beauty of the Third Madam, Liu Ruyan.

If it was a kidnapping, the He family could still get the ravaged Third Lady back as long as they paid the money.

If he was attracted by Liu Ruyan's beauty, she would have been humiliated and sold to a brothel.

Liu Ruyan was robbed and the escort agency suffered huge losses.

For this mission, the He family paid eighty yuan for the escort.

Now that the Third Madam Liu Ruyan has been kidnapped, the escort agency must at least pay one thousand taels in compensation!

This is a huge loss for the escort agency.

However, Uncle Lame did not blame Zhou Ping and Scar.

The two men were already fighting to the death.

"The Third Madam should be fine."

Zhou Ping said hesitantly.

"what?"

Uncle Bo felt that he had heard it wrong.

"The two of us were no match for the robbers and we almost died. But at the critical moment, a big man with a beard saved us. He killed the man in black in one move."

"Then the bearded man took his men away."

"He said he would send the third lady back to the He family."

Zhou Ping explained.

"A big bearded man? He took people away? He sent them home?"

Uncle Lame was confused by what Zhou Ping said and was a little skeptical.

It's understandable that someone saved two people, but why did the rescuer take the third wife away instead of returning her to the escort agency?

Could it be that this person is attracted by the beauty of the third wife?
"Does the person who rescued you have a registration number?"

Uncle Lame said with a frown.

"Yes, he said his name is Yan Chixia."

Zhou Ping thought for a moment and said, He had already made up a lie, just waiting for Uncle Lame to ask.

"Yan Chixia, Yan Chixia."

"Could it be him?"

Uncle Lame heard this man's name.

"I heard of this man's name when I was young."

"This man practices both martial arts and swordsmanship. He is extremely skilled in swordsmanship and can even fly with a sword."

"It is said that this person hates evil and kills demons. He is a righteous person."

"If it's really him, then the Third Madam should be fine."

Uncle Lame hesitated for a moment and said.

Zhou Ping thought to himself, there really is a person like Yan Chixia in the martial arts world.

"Uncle Bo, whether it is true or not, we will know if we rush back to Qinghe County and take a look."

Zhou Ping said.

"You are right!"

Hope ignited in Uncle Bo's heart. He believed Zhou Ping's words. The only thing he was worried about was whether the "Yan Chixia" was real or not, and whether he would fall in love with the third wife and not send her back.

However, according to Zhou Ping, the opponent killed the man in black in one move. With such skills, even the entire escort team could not be his match.

"Zhou Ping, follow me and hurry back to Qinghe County."

"The rest of the people are heading back with the wounded and the convoy as normal."

Uncle Lame said after giving the order.

"Uncle Bo, I want to go with you too." Chen Erdan said hurriedly. Following Uncle Bo is a guarantee of safety.

Uncle Lame frowned slightly, but when he thought about the good relationship between Chen Erdan and Zhou Ping, he agreed.

"drive."

Fifty miles east of Qinghe County.

A carriage was waiting there, and He Yunlu was fanning himself while waiting for someone.

"Sanniang, Sanniang, I didn't expect the old man to be so cruel and ruthless that he would even kill a beauty like you."

"I arranged for the murder of the other dozen aunts and disguised it as an accident because they all had some signs of cheating on me."

"My uncle hates it most when his things are touched by others, so whenever he suspects that something is wrong with my aunt, he will arrange for me to kill someone."

"But I really can't bear to kill you."

"I have dug a cellar in the courtyard. I will imprison you there. From now on, you will be my exclusive love."

The more He Yunlu thought about it, the more excited he became.

He arranged the two men in black because the head of the He family knew the tricks of praying for a child in Jinhua Temple.

The monks from Jinhua Temple came to catch ghosts, and before leaving they asked the third wife Liu Ruyan to go to the temple to pray for a child.

Of course Mr. He would not agree, he knew all the dirty things that happened in Jinhua.

However, the monk of Jinhua Temple said that the mother ghost of the mother and child ghost was dead, but the child ghost ran away.

Mr. He had no choice but to give in. After all, he would have to rely on Jinhua Temple to exorcise ghosts in the future.

She's just a prettier woman.

Mr. He asked He Yunlu to get rid of the third wife Liu Ruyan on the way home.

It’s just that He Yunlu killed so many aunts, but he had a special affection for Liu Ruyan and was reluctant to kill her.

So He Yunlu’s request to the two men in black was to “capture them alive.”

After a while, a man in black came carrying a sack and threw the sack on the ground.

"What are you doing? Can you be gentler?"

"Sanniang, Sanniang."

"You are finally mine."

He Yunlu held the sack, kept touching it all over, and even kissed it.

"open to take a look."

The man in black said coldly.

He Yunlu opened the sack.

"Oh my god, who is this?"

Inside the sack was not the third wife Liu Ruyan that he thought about day and night, but a man.

"What do you mean? You're trying to trick me with a man."

He Yunlu said angrily. These two men in black are professional killers with high credibility, so he asked them to come.

"How dare you take a stab at this? Isn't this the person you arranged? Do you want to rob your fellow thieves?"

The man in black swung his sword and put it on He Yunlu's neck.

He family.

Uncle Lame limped and walked quickly with Zhou Ping in the He family's courtyard.

He hasn't been so anxious since he became lame.

Led by the maid, the two met San Liuru and He Yunqing.

"I've met the third lady."

The moment Uncle Lame saw the Third Madam, he heaved a sigh of relief. He swayed and almost fell.

Zhou Ping was quick to act and quickly supported Uncle Lame.

"Uncle Lame, you don't have to pay."

Zhou Ping whispered aside.

Uncle Lame nodded. Yes, no need to pay.

"Uncle Lame, why did mother come back first?"

He Yunqing asked doubtfully.

When Liu Ruyan was sent back, she was unconscious. She only knew that she was kidnapped by robbers and then she fainted.

"Miss He, it's like this..."

Zhou Ping told He Yunqing what had happened.

"You said the person who saved my mother was called Yan Chixia?"

"Just save people? Why did you send them back?"

He Yunqing felt that there were loopholes in Zhou Ping's words.

Isn’t it enough to just hand over the person to the escort agency after rescuing him?
"That hero said he had an old relationship with the He family, and he happened to be on his way so he brought the third lady with him."

Zhou Ping had already thought of his words.

"He is related to my family, but I didn't know this person existed."

He Yunqing thought about it and realized that their family didn’t know anyone named Yan Chixia.

"You don't know him, maybe Mr. He knows him, or maybe he helped him unintentionally, so he is repaying the favor. It's not certain."

Uncle Lame spoke for Zhou Ping.

He Yunqing thought about it for a while and felt that what Uncle Bo said made sense.

He Yunqing asked Zhou Ping some more details, and Zhou Ping answered them one by one.

"It takes less than half a day to travel 700 to 800 miles. This is not something that ordinary people can do."

Although He Yunqing had not practiced cultivation, he knew that he had to send the third lady back within half a day, which was impossible for the people from the escort agency.

"In that case, we'll take our leave."

After Uncle Lame finished speaking, he exchanged a few polite words with He Yunqing and left with Zhou Ping.

"Yun Qing, I told you, Zhou Ping is a good kid."

"This time, thanks to him, he first saved me at Jinhua Temple and then went to the mountain to look for me, otherwise I would be in danger."

"Think about it, even Uncle Lame said those two robbers were powerful, but Zhou Ping still wanted to save them. This kid is not bad."

Liu Ruyan said with a smile. This trip to Jinhua Temple was really interesting, more interesting than her decades of life.

Liu Ruyan did not feel it was dangerous, but instead felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"Mom, saving people is his duty. He is a bodyguard."

"A cat catches mice, an ox plows the land, and the escort's duty is to protect your safety."

……

"I will no longer accept escorts from the Third Madam, and I will no longer accept escorts from beautiful women."

Uncle Lame let out a long sigh and wiped the blood from his forehead.

If anything happens to Liu Ruyan, the escort agency will definitely lose a lot of money and it will also affect the reputation of the agency.

"You have to pay more."

Zhou Ping said.

Uncle Lame looked at Zhou Ping and nodded in agreement.

This mission only costs one hundred taels. Next time there is another escort like Third Madam Liu Ruyan, it will cost five hundred taels or even one thousand taels!

"Hey, Uncle Lame, you're back? How come you're back earlier than expected? I heard that the Third Madam encountered robbers on the road."

When Zhou Ping and Uncle Bo left He's house, they happened to meet He Yunlu.

"Something did happen, but fortunately everything went well."

Uncle Bo knew He Yunlu, but he didn't want to say too much. He Yunlu was still a junior and still not in Uncle Bo's eyes.

"Uncle Lame, I have a question for you."

"explain."

"For example, if the escort agency encounters a robber on the road and kills him, does the robber's belongings belong to the escort who killed him, or to the court?"

Zhou Ping and Uncle Bo both glanced at He Yunlu.

He Yunlu knew that his question was a bit abrupt, so he turned a blind eye.

"I'm just asking. I'm just asking casually."

He Yunlu smiled awkwardly.

He Yunlu was not asking casually, but was asking on behalf of the two men in black who had kidnapped the third wife, Liu Ruyan.

One of the two men in black died, and the other found the body of his companion on the mountain, as well as six other bodies.

Judging from the scars on the six people in Jinhua Temple, the man in black knew that these six people were killed by their companions.

The man in black guessed that He Yunlu had found two groups of people to rob each other, so he took one of the corpses to confront He Yunlu.

Of course He Yunlu refused to admit it. The monks in Jinhua Temple had nothing to do with him.

Neither of them trusted the other, and finally He Yunlu and the man in black reached an agreement.

He Yunlu gave the man in black two hundred taels of silver and promised to find out information for him.

The black-clad man's companion was dead, and all his belongings were taken away.

The man in black wants his partner's dagger!
As long as He Yunlu could find out the news about the dagger, the matter would be over.

That's why He Yunlu came to ask Uncle Bo about the news about the dagger.

"According to the rules of the underworld, if a robber is killed, all his belongings will belong to the escort agency."
