Sometimes the world plays tricks on people.

Or there may be a sudden turn of events and a bright future.

Or ups and downs... there will be no turning back until you die.

The leader of this escort agency is really stubborn. He even wants to use the money to run the agency?

......

While chatting and laughing, they arrived at the Western Region escorts' base.

Located in a remote area of ​​Jieshi City, it looks like a martial arts school from the outside. The venue is quite large, and the words "Black Holy Flame" are written on the flying flag.

It seems that the leader of the escort agency really made a lot of money from the property he sold back then, and he even had enough spare money to purchase such a large martial arts hall here.

And judging from the maintenance of the walls, it is estimated that no one lives here all year round, and only occasionally do bodyguards stay here for a while.

"Master Chu, the twin ocean horses you mentioned will soon be seen. Many people will be unable to walk after seeing them!"

No, you also call your companions foreign horses?

Although warriors tend to get along with each other in a generous and informal manner, they shouldn't tease each other like this. I was just joking behind their backs.

Chu Wuji felt strange in his heart, but his expression remained normal:

"Oh, then I have to take a good look at it, haha..."

Walking through several open courtyards where people practiced martial arts in the martial arts hall, Chu Wuji met the twin ocean horse sisters he had been waiting for for a long time.

A mare with golden hair, bright eyes, a muscular body and horns on her head!

Still both ends!

Wardfa smiled and said, "This is our escort agency's mascot. Who would have thought that a sheep and a horse could combine and give birth to offspring?"

"..." Chu Wuji's smile gradually disappeared.

I feel a little complicated!

I really didn't expect this situation...

It can't be said that it's a lie. It's completely understandable why the thief from Yunze Township and the shopkeeper Guan were so impressed by this big foreign horse. As soon as they mentioned it, they knew which group of Western escorts it was.

It’s impossible not to be impressed!

Judging from the appearance of the horses alone, these two mares are very outstanding. Even people who have not had much contact with horses can feel the beauty of "beautiful eyes and clear eyebrows" after seeing them and looking into the mares' eyes.

The pair of curved horns on their heads are even more impressive.

"These are a pair of horses the leader accidentally discovered on the grassland. I guess it was the small horns on their heads that caused the herd to abandon them. They usually don't get close to people, and only allow young lady to get close. I'll go explain Mr. Chu's situation to young lady, and we'll go to the restaurant together later!"

Wardfa left the yard, leaving only Chu Wuji here.

Chu Wuji was silent for a while, and finally smiled helplessly.

But he was not too disappointed. Although he did not see the kind of blond foreign horse, these two big sheep horses were also very rare!

No wonder this group of escorts didn’t place them in the stable, but instead found a separate yard to keep them. They are indeed noble!

He took a few steps forward to see if the two mares were shy. It turned out that they were not afraid of him. Instead, they came closer and looked at him curiously.

Chu Wuji walked a few steps closer, touched their golden mane, and fiddled with their little horns.

"This really looks fake. I thought it was a headband, but it actually has a horse with horns. Is this a unicorn... a bicorn?"

He took two carrots from the side and fed them to the pair of ocean horse sisters. They licked Chu Wuji's hand docilely before slowly eating the carrots.

Quite quiet.

"If I find some grass imbued with seasonal spiritual energy and feed it to you, what will you look like after you transform?"

Chu Wuzhi was muttering to himself when he heard footsteps behind him. He knew it was time to move to the restaurant, so he didn't linger any longer and turned around to leave with the team.

At the gate of the yard, a beautiful woman with a Western face, golden hair, wearing a white robe, a plump figure, and legs wrapped in white silk, walked in gracefully.

The blonde woman looked at Chu Wuji in confusion and said in a slightly ethereal voice, "They are actually willing to get close to you?"

Chu Wuji was a little confused, and he was surprised in his heart:

"I thought I was being fooled, how come there really is..."

Chapter 115 Guanyin Girl

Seeing that she understood the local language, Chu Wuji knew that this blonde woman was quite familiar with the local culture and customs. He saluted and said,

"My name is Chu Wuji, how should I address you, young lady?"

"I am bound by the rules of my hometown and cannot reveal my real name casually. You can call me by my nickname, Guanyin."

For a moment, Chu Wuji thought the other party was joking. This nickname was a bit too big!

I've only heard of people with nicknames like Goudan and Tiedan, but never heard of anyone with nicknames like Huangdi or Buddha...

He asked politely, "Miss, are you worshipping Buddha?"

"I'm not a Buddhist, and there are no Buddhists in my family. My father gave me this nickname because he saw that when I was young, I looked like the girl in the painting of Guanyin."

So careless?

Chu Wuji guessed that the girl's father saw the picture of Guanyin Bodhisattva and thought it was a painting of a beauty, so he gave his daughter this name.

However, Wardfa just called her "Miss". Could it be that she is the daughter of the head of the escort agency?

After all, it was their first meeting, so Chu Wuji didn't think for too long and replied:

"Okay, then let's go to the restaurant first and talk. Otherwise, Sister Guan will have to wait for a long time. As guests, we don't want to keep the host waiting for a long time."

"I have the same idea!"

......

The restaurant chosen by Sister Guan was called "Kanchaolou". It was very close to the government office, with the gates facing each other across the street.

When he first walked in, Chu Wuji was wondering why it was named like this since there was no sea to be seen here.

It was not until he walked into the VIP box, which required extra payment, that Chu Wuji discovered that he could really see the sea outside the window!

Even the blocked coastal docks can be seen clearly!

Just as the vendors outside the city had said, there were carts filled with offerings, and the jewels and jade sparkled in the sun, looking magnificent and magnificent.

Special people are arranged to take care of the live cattle, sheep and poultry, for fear that they will starve to death early.

Some are sealed and locked boxes, and no one knows what is inside.

You can get a general overview of most of the prosperous areas of Jieshi City here.

Even the commotion in the government office below could be captured at the first moment.

It just so happened that several women, weeping inconsolably, were beating drums to complain while holding petitions. When the constables from the yamen opened the door and walked out, they immediately surrounded them:

"Sir, our husband recently accepted the city lord's call to go to Shangliufeng Mountain to catch foxes. He was accidentally engulfed in fire, and the relief money has yet to be paid. He is the only pillar of our family left!"

"Ten days ago, my child disappeared and has not been found since then. Does the government have any clues?"

"My daughter is missing too. I reported the case to the police a few days ago. Has your Excellency found her whereabouts? I even paid someone to draw her portrait. Please take a look!"

The series of sounds were so dense that the constable who opened the door did not seem anxious, but just felt irritated.

Several constables stopped at the door, took the complaint and the portrait, and cursed impatiently:

"Alright, alright, no noise allowed in front of the government hall. Hurry up and leave! If you don't leave, you'll be caned!"

"We're investigating too. We'll let you know when we have news. Someone's missing from the family, and there's one less mouth to feed. So, there's no need to rush for the compensation. Go ahead and leave for now!"

Retreating in order to advance is sometimes a good trick.

If these constables simply chased people away, the women would be stuck there forever. But if they accepted the complaint and let them wait for news, the women would have no choice but to leave for the time being no matter how anxious they were.

After the gate of the yamen was closed, the VIP window on Chu Wuzhi's side was high enough for him to see the situation inside the yamen.

The constables who took the complaint threw it into the trash can and continued drinking and playing dice, looking very relaxed.

"..."

Chu Wuji was speechless for a moment and returned to the dinner table silently. He composed himself so as not to let Sister Guan think that he was not satisfied with the place.

The dishes were gradually brought up. Chu Wuji took a few bites and drank a bowl of soup, then he got down to business.

"Miss Guanyin, what is the connection between your escort team and the Scorpion Demon? I heard that you are also searching for her whereabouts?"

The elegant and beautiful blonde nodded slightly. She was also very unhappy when the Scorpion Spirit was mentioned. She said:

"Yes, this Scorpion Demon stole... an important item that our escort agency was transporting. I can't reveal the specific item, but it's really giving us a headache!"

The things that the escorts escort for their employers are definitely not ordinary things. They may be involved in some power disputes or the delivery of tokens.

Confidentiality is the basic rule.

Chu Wuji understood this, and since being curious about other people's secrets couldn't solve his own problems, he didn't ask about them. He focused on asking:

"So how much do you know about the Scorpion Demon?"

Wardfa had fought the Scorpion Demon head-on before and suffered greatly. He signaled his companions to fetch a portrait of the Scorpion Demon's true appearance, cursing and saying:

"The night the scorpion demon came to our escort agency to steal something, I happened to be on guard duty. She had some magical powers and stung me with a poisonous needle, knocking me unconscious. When I woke up, my butt was still swollen like a bee. It took a whole month for the swelling to go away. I was humiliated and made fun of by my brothers!"

Bee butt?

It was indeed a bit outrageous. Chu Wuji seemed to understand why Wardfa had such a strong resentment.

Soon, the escort brought the portrait and handed it respectfully to Chu Wuji. He opened it and took a look. It was indeed the mature woman who appeared in the medicine shop before!

The brush-painted portrait lacks realism, but it can still express the spirit of the facial features.

Miss Guanyin briefly mentioned the Scorpion Spirit:

"These days, we've been trying to recover the lost items. Through various channels, we've learned a lot about the Scorpion Spirit's past. She's from a demon tribe that originated outside the Great Wall. She cultivated by consuming the death energy of the battlefield, gradually growing stronger.

Later, she was punished by heaven while overcoming the tribulation, and her strength was greatly reduced. We were about to capture her, but unfortunately, the Scorpion Demon was so cunning that she escaped! "

Chu Wu Ji recalled the situation when he faced the Rat Taoist. Once he turned into a mouse, Chu Wu Ji could not find any trace of him in the dark night.

I wonder if this is the case with the Western Region escorts.

Chu Wuji asked, "She stole the remains of my elders, the remains of those who had great cultivation. She probably wanted to use them to try to overcome the tribulation again."

Wardfa was not very clear about the ways of these monks. He had only seen others spit out fire from their mouths. As for concepts like tribulation, he had no idea about them.

"We've recently acquired a lot of intelligence. Some of the Scorpion Demon's accomplices have sold out several of her former lairs for money. We plan to send people to investigate."

Chu Wuji heard this and gave a suggestion:

"Change your strategy and arrange for people to stake out these nests, but as far away as possible so as not to alert the scorpions.

This Scorpion Demon will definitely undergo another tribulation in the future, and there will be a big commotion when she does, so we'll know where she appeared."

Miss Guanyin thought about it and felt that it was feasible.

This scorpion demon was too vigilant. After her vitality was severely damaged, she acted even more cautiously. If they went to explore those nests in advance, they might alarm her.

If she is forced to find a new secret lair, it will be even more impossible to find her trace.

"If there is any news, I will definitely inform Master Chu, and I guess your help will be needed!"

Chu Wuji nodded and discussed the future contact information with this group of Western Region escorts. He knew the general trajectory of the future activities of both parties, and the matter of the Scorpion Demon was temporarily over.

All the useful information has been discussed. The most important thing is to determine the next step, and then we still have to wait.

Only after the Scorpion Demon made a noise could Chu Wuzhi and the escort team react.

If they made too much noise now, the scorpion would easily locate them and hide in their place.

Chu Wuji changed the subject and asked about Jieshi City:

"Miss Guanyin, and Sister Guan, what are your impressions and opinions of the Lord of Jieshi City?"

The members of the escort team shook their heads, including the golden-haired Guanyin girl, who looked at Sister Guan with her ice-blue eyes.

"It's been a while since we returned to Jieshi City and we stayed there for a few days. Sister Guan is more familiar with the situation here."

The female shopkeeper was listening curiously to everyone's conversation about their strange stories, but she didn't expect that it would suddenly be her turn to speak.

She was a little caught off guard, and after sorting out her thoughts, she said:
