Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

Cheng Li never expected things to escalate like this.

He sighed and recounted the whole story:

"That burly man is the branch leader of the Canal Gang, known as 'Iron Butcher'."

"And the young master Lu he mentioned is Lu Hong, the son of Lu Polang, the head of the Grand Canal Gang."

These words were spoken.

The convoy fell silent for a moment.

Only the chaotic sound of horses' hooves echoed in the silent night sky.

The canal gangs.

He was the undisputed ruler of the entire Jiangzhou region.

It should be noted that the Li family was already a top power in Pingcheng, even though they only had a slight connection with the leader of the Canal Gang.

The guards were shocked to find themselves embroiled in such a behemoth, and they began to consider retreating.

Cheng Li continued:

"Young friend Chen, I'm truly sorry, I didn't speak up earlier mainly because I was afraid of leaking the news..."

Chen Feng thought so.

The main concern here is that if people hear they're getting involved with the canal gangs, no one will be willing to take the job.

"If everyone is willing to lend a helping hand to the Cheng family, the promised reward will be paid in full, and there will be a generous return later."

After listening to Cheng Li's words.

Chen Feng glanced back at his companions from Changwei Escort Agency.

He also needs to consider everyone's opinions.

The group simply stared at Chen Feng. With Chief Escort Zhang absent, they had lost their leader and implicitly regarded Chen Feng as their head.

Chen Feng said in a deep voice, "Let's stop at the next rest stop. We need to discuss something."

"it is good."

Cheng Liying replied.

Afterwards, the convoy fell into a long silence. Although they were traveling together, they had clearly drawn two distinct lines.

Xu and Cheng are on the same side.

And the escort agency led by Chen Feng.

The night sky was clear and cloudless, and the bright moon illuminated the official road perfectly.

The sunlight also illuminated the bushes on both sides, making them appear somewhat gloomy.

The group fell silent and continued on their way.

There was only a slight noise inside the carriage, seemingly Cheng Tingxue scolding a maid, but her voice was low.

The sound of horses' hooves completely drowned out the noise.

Only a faint, lingering fragrance remains.

......

......

It was still dark.

The convoy has arrived at the next inn.

After a sleepless night of running around, even though everyone was a martial artist, they were all feeling quite tired.

But I can't sleep.

We could only rest briefly, replenish our water and food, before setting off again.

The four members of Changwei Escort Agency huddled together, discussing what to do next.

"Chen Feng, you speak, we'll listen to you."

Wang Huan spoke up.

He's always been straightforward and speaks his mind, but when it comes to crucial moments, he doesn't know what to say.

Chen Feng shook his head: "This is a matter of great importance. Everyone should speak their mind. Hiding things will only lead to trouble."

"Moreover, you know better than I do that Cheng Tingxue married into the Xu family long ago, but now she wants to return to the Cheng family."

"This only shows that even the Xu family can't afford to offend Lu Hong, forcing Cheng Tingxue to return to her parents' home for help. The danger involved is evident."

Chen Feng's own idea was to continue helping.

Firstly, it can earn money, and secondly... I heard that Fifth Senior Sister has a very good relationship with this woman.

Chen Feng wanted to help as much as he could.

But he cannot make decisions for other people.

Whether they stay or leave is up to them.

The three fell silent.

Then Zhang Jiu expressed his thoughts:

"Maybe we should keep going. We're already halfway there; it's not realistic to turn back by ourselves..."

Chen Feng nodded.

The other two also made up their minds:

"Go for it! There's no reason to give up halfway. We should get our share of the money."

It was Old Li who spoke.

Chen Feng looked at Old Li. He remembered that Old Li's family seemed to be short of money.

I heard that after each escort mission, they would save the money and be reluctant to spend it.

"Okay, then I'll go talk to Cheng Li again and increase the stakes."

Chen Feng was about to get up.

At that moment, he caught a whiff of fragrance.

He frowned and turned his head to look.

Sure enough, they saw the maid holding Cheng Tingxue's hand as the two women walked towards them.

Cheng Tingxue bowed slightly to everyone, and then said:

"My lords, the unpleasant incident earlier was my fault. I will definitely discipline the servants more in the future. Please forgive me."

She gently bit her lip, revealing a pitiful expression.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiu panicked and quickly said, "Madam, it's alright, it's alright, it's a minor problem."

"us......"

Chen Feng quickly raised his hand.

They stopped Zhang Jiu from continuing.

Chen Feng glanced at Lao Li and Wang Huan beside him, and saw that they were also stammering.

He immediately sensed something was wrong:

"This woman's skill level is quite high; she not only knows how to utilize her advantages, but those advantages are also incredibly significant."

Chen Feng withdrew his gaze and cupped his hands in greeting:

"I was just about to tell Madam that we have reached a conclusion. This journey will be arduous, so the reward will be doubled."

"Furthermore, when faced with disagreements, we should have the decision-making power, and our influence should be at least greater than that of your Xu family's two Blood Refinement Realm cultivators."

"Both conditions are indispensable; otherwise, there's no point in discussing it."

Chen Feng spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

After hearing this, Zhang Jiu's lips moved, but considering that Chen Feng was acting in everyone's best interests, he gave up.

The maid was about to speak when Cheng Tingxue subtly tugged at her, stopping her.

Chen Feng frowned.

No matter how you look at it, something seems off about the maid.

When Chen Feng first transmigrated, he also considered doing some manual labor in a large family.

Because they earn more money.

But after seeing that the servants were treated worse than dogs, he gave up the idea.

However, isn't the Cheng family being far too lenient with their servants? Or is it because of Cheng Tingxue?

Chen Feng had no idea.

Cheng Tingxue pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"Yes, I can agree to both of these conditions. When we return to the Cheng family, I will give each of you sixty taels of silver."

Chen Feng was taken aback. Sixty taels.

It's still sixty taels per person.

The four of them cost more than two hundred taels of silver.

At that moment, Chen Feng could clearly hear his companions behind him starting to pant heavily.

They were all stunned by Cheng Tingxue's wealth and power.

You should know that this was originally the payment.

Only twenty-five taels.

Of course, Chen Feng also noticed the details in the woman's words—"When we get back to the Cheng family."

In other words, if something goes wrong...

Not a single cent.

Even if someone dies on the road.

Not a single cent.

"Okay! It's a deal." Chen Feng agreed.

After thanking her, Cheng Tingxue turned and returned to the carriage. Even though she was wearing a gauze skirt, it couldn't hide the amazing curve of her ample hips.

Chen Feng turned his head away, looking at the drooling expressions on the faces of those around him, feeling quite helpless.

"Hey! Stop looking."

Zhang Jiu jolted awake, wiped his mouth, and laughed awkwardly, "Haha, well, I suddenly remembered something and got distracted..."

Wang Huan seemed to still be savoring the moment.

He said blankly:

"How can someone be so beautiful? And with such a great figure, I really want to marry her and keep her at home..."

Chen Feng couldn't hold back any longer: "Don't you have a wife?!"

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding."

Chen Feng now only hopes that his teammates won't let the smaller one control the larger one at crucial moments.

"Old Li is more reliable..."

Chen Feng turned his head to look to the other side, only to find that Old Li was also staring blankly at Cheng Tingxue's departing figure.

Chen Feng: "..."

Hopeless.

......

......

After resting, the group immediately mounted their horses and hurried on their way.

On the run, they naturally stopped caring about rules like not walking at night.

The terrifying enemy, which even two Bone Forging Warriors could not stop, was still lurking behind them.

Currently, only one branch hall master has appeared.

Nobody knows what other characters will appear next, so it's always good to be able to run faster.

Currently, Cheng Li is the only Bone Forging Warrior in the team, making the situation quite dire.

Two martial artists from the Xu family.

The decision of the group of people.

A subtle, contemptuous smile appeared on his face, as if mocking the four of them:

"They just followed along like lapdogs for a few stinking bucks."

However, due to pressure from Cheng Li.

The two members of the Xu family dared not actually utter any sarcastic remarks.

They still had to answer to the Xu family, and they didn't want to cause any real problems and ruin their own livelihoods.

Zhang Jiuyou noticed the attitude of the two people.

However, he didn't say anything, just sixty taels of silver, plus Cheng Tingxue's smile.

This made him not want to dwell on it too much.

And Chen Feng.

He then fell into deep thought.

Ever since Cheng Li told him the truth, there's been one thing that's been bothering him—

The attitudes of the Cheng and Xu families.

Some parts are ambiguous.
