Chapter 67 Entering the City
When the carriage started again, two people came up. One was a young man in brocade clothes with a folding fan in his hand. He looked very dashing. The other was a fat young man with small eyes darting around. The two of them Obviously they didn't know each other, so they each found a place to sit.
It seems that birds of a feather flock together. As soon as the carriage drove a short distance away, the young scholar Li Jinfeng had a very speculative chat with Mr. Jinyi. Everyone nearby also knew that Mr. Jinyi's surname was Shangguan Shanziyun, and he was from Xu Zhen, but they didn't know each other closely, and they were not familiar with each other. He didn't tell him why he went to Pingyang City. Shangguan Yun seemed very arrogant. He only talked to Li Jinfeng and ignored Zhang Xiaohua and others. He even frowned when he saw Zhang Xiaohua sometimes. Zhang Xiaohu might be thinking about something and didn't care. He didn't notice it, but Zhang Xiaohua could see it clearly. He was also very surprised. He even looked down at his own clothes and his second brother's clothes. They were nothing. They were all newly made clothes by his mother before leaving. Zhang Xiaohua was confused.
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand. Anyone with a little knowledge could tell at a glance that he and Zhang Xiaohu were from the countryside. It was probably their first time traveling far away. The first few people were from average family backgrounds. Although he looked down on them a little in his heart, he did not show it on the surface. As for Li Jinfeng, what scholars pay attention to is self-cultivation, and he would not show anything on his face just for this reason. But Shangguan Yun is different. He comes from a wealthy family, although he is not a playboy. But the servants at home were better dressed and behaved than Zhang Xiaohua and the others. He did not use his own carriage when he went out this time. He took the horse carriage instead to gain some experience. As soon as he got in the carriage, he met two obvious people. It was a country bumpkin sitting in front of him, so he naturally showed impatience. In fact, it was not malicious, but it made Zhang Xiaohua confused.
The fat man sitting on the side noticed Shangguan Yun's expression attentively, and also looked at Zhang Xiaohua. He curled his lips and squinted his eyes. He didn't know who he was looking at, but he wanted to interrupt several times after seeing him. The way Shangguan Yun spoke, I guess most of this was for Zhang Xiaohua.
Shangguan Yun chatted with Li Jinfeng for a while and suddenly asked: "Brother Li, you have been studying essays in Pingyang City for a long time. Do you know that there is a Lotus Escort Agency?"
Li Jinfeng was stunned and said: "I know, almost everyone in Pingyang City knows about this escort agency. It is located to the west of Pingyang City. It occupies a large area. It is said that it is very powerful and has opened many strongholds in Yu State. .Brother Shangguan, why did you suddenly mention Lotus Escort Agency? Do you have business to take care of it?"
At this time, the fat man next to him finally found a chance to interrupt. He cupped his hands and said, "May I ask if Mr. Shangguan also went to the Lotus Escort Agency to take the exam?"
Shangguan Yun looked at the fat man in surprise and asked, "Excuse me, are you too?"
The fat man said: "I am Yu Lun, who is heading to the Lotus Escort Agency."
Shangguan Yun said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there was a comrade next to me. I'm sorry, but I wonder if Brother Yu has been to the Lotus Escort Agency before?"
Yu Lun said: "I have been to Pingyang City, but unfortunately I was busy playing and didn't have the chance to go there. I didn't hear that the Lotus Escort Agency was recruiting people, so I came to try my luck and see if I could be selected. However, I look at Brother Shangguan. Your family is very well off, why do you come to the escort agency to hang out?"
Shangguan Yun smiled bitterly and said: "I also ran out secretly. My family forced me to practice essays, but I felt dizzy when I saw the book. A few days ago, I heard my nurse talking about the Lotus Escort Agency. I felt good about it, so I Come and give it a try, I think I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child to strengthen my body, so there should be no problem. When I learn the real skills and go home, I won’t have to look at the face of our old man, it’s just a matter of day."
After finishing speaking, it seemed that I had said a bit too much, so I quickly said to Li Jinfeng: "Brother Li, I'm not talking about how you scholars are. It's just that I'm not interested in reading by nature. Don't mind."
Li Jinfeng smiled and said, "No, everyone has their own ambitions, but it doesn't matter."
But in my heart, I couldn't stop complaining about this group of reckless warriors.
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua asked timidly: "Excuse me,
Does this Lotus Escort Agency have anything to do with the Lotus Escort Agency in Lu Town? "
Shangguan Yun looked at him and said nothing, but Yu Lun said: "It seems that this little brother came from Lu Town. The Lotus Escort Bureau is a very big escort agency with strongholds in various places. Lu Town is naturally some."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "Oh, I know this, I want to ask again."
Yu Lun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, little brother, I will tell you what I know."
The fat man's bulging cheeks showed that he wanted to teach others. Zhang Xiaohua asked: "Then, what does the escort agency do?"
With a "bang" sound, the fat man Yu Lun lay down on the carriage, his head touching the awning of the carriage.
Li Jinfeng and Shangguan Yun also opened their mouths and looked at Zhang Xiaohua in surprise. Xiaohua was very surprised: "What's wrong with you? You don't know what the escort agency does, right?"
At this time, the guard next to him spoke and said, "This is your first time going out, little brother."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded, and the guard said: "This escort agency is organized by people with martial arts skills to escort ordinary people's property or protect others' safety."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded in understanding, but thought in her heart: "Master Lu said that if something happens to our family, we should take the token to the Lotus Escort Agency in Lu Town. Then the Lotus Escort Agency must have something to do with the Miao Miao Sect."
Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Xiaohua asking these questions, and his face was a little red. He didn't understand these questions very well, but he was embarrassed to ask them. Zhang Xiaohua asked them, and he happened to listen to them.
At this time, the fat man Yu Lun sat up, and Shangguan Yun and Li Jinfeng also closed their mouths. However, Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "Then are Brother Shangguan and Brother Yu going to be guards in the escort agency?"
These three people lost their composure again.
Yu Lun said funnyly: "Little brother, it's like this. The Lotus Escort not only provides protection for others, it also teaches people to practice martial arts. We go to the Lotus Escort to learn martial arts."
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu's eyes lit up and they looked at each other. They already had a plan in mind. Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "Brother Yu, how does the Lotus Escort choose people?"
Yu Lun said: "It's nothing more than strength, fists, feet and weapons. I don't know the details. I'll know when I get there."
Zhang Xiaohu listened and kept it in his heart.
Shangguan Yun over there was already impatient and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? Are you going to participate too?"
Yu Lun said: "My little brother is too young, so he probably won't accept it. You, my brother, can give it a try."
Zhang Xiaohu said: "Really?"
Yu Lun blinked and said, "Really, you're fine."
Zhang Xiaohu felt happy and asked, "Can you take me with you when you go there tomorrow? We don't know how to get there."
Yu Lun smiled and said, "That's no problem. Let's go together tomorrow."
Then, Yu Lun and the other three began to talk about cultural customs and other things. Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua couldn't get in the middle of the conversation. They both looked outside happily, as if they saw the bright future of tomorrow. They felt sorry for them as they went out for the first time. But he didn't see the disdain between Shangguan Yun's brows and the sneer in Yu Lun's eyes. Only the guard saw these, but after thinking about it, he also knew that it was the first time for the two of them to go out, so they would definitely hit a wall, and it was not a big deal, so there was no such thing. Special reminder.
The carriage arrived at Pingyang City at night. The Zhang brothers originally wanted to see what Pingyang City looked like, but the dark night had long since put an end to the idea. They could only look at the huge city gate in the darkness like a monster swallowing it. There were horse-drawn carriages, and the lanterns in front of the wealthy houses on the roadside were swaying in the wind.
The carriage entered the city and walked a long way before it stopped at a secluded place. Everyone got out of the car, and sure enough, there was another sign for a "galloping" horse and carriage shop. It must be the carriage and horse shop in Pingyang City. The night was already dark. , the clerk from the carriage shop let everyone into the store, everyone ate hastily, and everyone took a rest. Naturally, the Zhang brothers stayed in Tongpu. Zhang Xiaohua didn’t know where Yu Lun and the other three lived, so he originally wanted to ask They talked about going to the Lotus Escort Agency together tomorrow, but looking at their tired looks, Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth, but still didn't shout out.
The main street of Pingyang City where carriages and horses are used is actually cleaner than other places. There are not many people there, and the Zhang brothers don’t care much. After a long day, they want to go to bed quickly. Zhang Xiaohua even fell asleep on the bunk. Zhang Xiaohu Then he carefully put the package under his head and fell asleep.
The next morning, the two of them woke up very early and had breakfast. They were waiting for three people at the door, but no one came out. The two of them panicked and went inside to inquire. Only then did they find out that Mr. Shangguan had stayed there last night. After getting off the hotel, I felt uncomfortable staying in the hotel, so I asked Yu Lun and Li Jinfeng to look for another inn together. The scholar Li Jinfeng patted his chest and the fat man Yu Lun's agreement immediately came to nothing. The two brothers couldn't help but look at each other. Why is this man so bad at keeping his word?
The two brothers decided whether to go to the Piaomiao Sect or the Lotus Escort Agency. In the end, they listened to Zhang Xiaohu and decided to go to the Piaomiao Sect. But where was the Piaomiao Sect? The two brothers went to the carriage and horse dealer to inquire. Fortunately, the clerk in the carriage and horse shop had a good attitude, and the Piao Miao Sect had a great reputation, so they found out easily. It turned out that the Piao Miao Sect was not in Pingyang City, but in Pingyang City. Piao Miao Villa is located ten miles east of the city.
This chariot and horse store is in the northwest corner of Pingyang City. You need to go through Pingyang City and exit from the east gate. They waited for the two of them to find out the route before they came out of the chariot and horse store.
Chemaxing is a remote place in the northwest corner of Pingyang City. Although the sun was rising high at this time, there were not many people nearby. After the two brothers walked for a while, they passed through an alley and turned a corner. , the two of them stopped involuntarily. Zhang Xiaohu looked at everything in front of him and asked Zhang Xiaohu in confusion: "Second brother, is it the Chinese New Year again?"
