Chapter 69 Escort Bureau

The Piaomiao Villa was indeed far away. The carriage left the city gate and drove eastward for nearly a stick of incense before arriving at a straight avenue. The carriage stopped and the three of them got out of the carriage.

Qiu Tong pointed to the avenue and said, "Go further and you will reach Piao Miao Villa after passing the avenue. I can't see you off any further. I live in Huanxi Villa. You can come and play with me if you have the chance."

Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu said some words of thanks before Qiu Tong got on the carriage. The carriage turned around and walked back slowly. Qiu Tong waved to the two of them in the carriage as a farewell.

The two Zhang brothers couldn't help feeling solemn in their hearts when they looked at the wide and straight avenue and the huge trees beside it. They took a deep breath and strode forward.

After walking for a short time, I saw the tall archway in the distance. When I got closer, I could see the big "Piaomiao" on the archway clearly. Aren't they the two characters on the token?

The two brothers' hearts beat faster, and they could see hope before their eyes.

There were several people standing straight under the archway, and there was another person cruising around, who must be the leader. It was noon, and only the two Zhang brothers were walking on the avenue under the sun. Naturally, they were already there. Seeing that the two were still moving forward, the man stepped forward to meet them, raised his right hand to stop the two from moving forward, looked at the two of them for a long time, and asked: "You two, please stay, the people ahead are I help the important areas.”

Zhang Xiaohu stepped forward, clasped his fists and asked, "Excuse me, is this Piaomiao Villa?"

The man looked at Zhang Xiaohu suspiciously and replied, "It's Piaomiao Villa."

Zhang Xiaohu said happily: "Great, what we are looking for is Piaomiao Villa."

The man took a step back warily and asked, "Excuse me, what can this friend do for you?"

Zhang Xiaohu said: "We came to the Piaomiao Sect to learn from their masters."

The man was stunned, as if he had seen something funny, and looked at Zhang Xiaohu. The guards who were standing upright just now looked at the two of them with strange expressions like the man.

Zhang Xiaohua asked strangely: "What? We came from Lu Town to learn skills from our teachers."

The man couldn't help it anymore. He smiled and held his stomach, pointed at the two of them, and said, "Apprentice to learn from a teacher? Just you? Hahaha, hahaha~"

The guards also bent down with laughter, and some even sat on the ground, as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.

The two Zhang brothers didn't understand why everyone was laughing, so they had to stand there obediently. After they had laughed enough, they asked cautiously: "What are you laughing at?"

This sentence caused everyone to laugh again, but when they laughed again, the leader said: "They are two poor people who were attracted by the legend of the world."

Then, he waved his hands to them and said: "The Piaomiao Sect has already recruited disciples some time ago, but it is no longer recruiting. You should go home."

Zhang Xiaohua became anxious and said, "We came from Lu Town. We took the bus for several days and spent a lot of money. Why are we allowed to go home?"

Zhang Xiaohu was also stunned. He had never thought about it before he came here. He thought he could learn martial arts when he came here. Who knew they were not recruiting disciples now? How could this be done?

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohu thought of something, and he said to the leader: "Brother, I know the hero Wen Wen Hai Wen of your sect. Can you take us to meet him?"

The leader looked at him and said, "We in the Piaomiao Sect do have a man named Wen Daxia. However, there are many people who know his name. This does not mean that you know him."

When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he thought it was interesting and said, "Just say they are the Zhang brothers from Lu Town. I believe he has some impressions."

The leader said: "It's a pity that even if you know Daxia Wen, I can't take you to see him because he is not in the villa at all."

Zhang Xiaohu was disappointed for a while. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua interrupted and said, "Well,

Where is Lu Yueming and Master Lu? "

The leader said: "Hey, you know a lot, but Daxia Lu is not at the villa, so there is nothing we can do. Alas, in fact, even if you know them, they will not let you become apprentices. You should go back quickly. Well, let’s live a good life farming at home.”

The leader had sharp eyes, and he had already seen through the identity of the two farmers.

The Zhang brothers wanted to say something more, but the leader said: "This is the entrance to Piaomiao Villa. Strangers have always been prohibited from approaching and making noise. Now is still a sensitive period. It is wrong for me to tell you so much. You still don't want to If you don’t bother me anymore, please leave early.”

After hearing this, the two of them were very depressed. As a last resort, they walked away slowly and dejectedly.

At this time, one of the guards standing guard whispered to the leader: "Boss, these two people mentioned the names of several of our core disciples. Do they really know them? Although it is a joke to learn skills from a disciple, but if we let a few of them This boss knew that someone they knew was looking for them, but he asked us to drive them away. Wouldn't that offend someone?"

The leader couldn't help but think deeply, and another guard next to him said: "I heard that the Lotus Escort Bureau is recruiting people? Let them try. If they fail, they go home. If the bosses know, it can be considered that we have pointed it out. Road, it’s not our fault.”

When the leader heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "That makes sense. You're the smart one."

After saying that, he quickly caught up with the Zhang brothers who had just walked not far away and shouted loudly: "Brothers, walk slowly."

Zhang Xiaohua and the two were walking forward dejectedly. When they heard someone calling him, they immediately stopped and asked, "Why, are you letting us in?"

The leader smiled and said: "It is absolutely impossible to go in. But the two little brothers are here to learn from the teacher. I will show you the way."

Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu's eyes lit up and they asked in unison: "Where is the road?"

The leader said: "There is a Lotus Escort Bureau in Pingyang City. They are recruiting people right now. You can try it. If you can be hired, someone will teach you martial arts."

When the two heard this, they realized that this was not where Shangguan Yun and Yu Lun went. It seemed that what Yu Lun said was true. In the morning, I was thinking about coming to Piaomiao Villa, but I forgot about Lotus Escort Agency. It seems I have to do the next best thing today.

The two people quickly thanked the leader for his advice and asked in detail about the location of the Lotus Escort Bureau before waving goodbye.

It was already afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the food he had eaten in the morning had long been digested. Zhang Xiaohua was so hungry that her heart was in front of her, and Zhang Xiaohu was not much better. Fortunately, there were still people scattered in front of Piaomiao Villa, and there were many people. Young people were struggling to make a living here, so the two brothers found a small shop and ate something hastily.

We took a ride when we came here. Although it was far away, there were people talking to each other, so we didn't feel too bored. When we went back, there were only two of us, one in front of the other and one in front of the other. They were talking about it. It was good to have a shady place, but when we were exposed to the sun, That was really unbearable. There were not many people walking on the road from Piaomiao Villa to Pingyang City. Even if there were people, they were all on horseback or in carriages. These people were in a hurry, and no one paid attention to these two people walking on the roadside. Walking brother.

By the time the two brothers reached the vicinity of Pingyang City, they were already sweating profusely. However, when they saw the outline of the city gate, they immediately became energetic and their pace quickened.

Fortunately, the Lotus Escort Bureau was near the city gate, and it was easy to inquire. After a while, the two brothers came to a gate.

This is a large door. In front of the door are two lion statues, one on each side of the door. They look very impressive. There is a black plaque hanging on the door with four large golden characters on it. Zhang Xiaohua is If you recognize the second word "花", it's probably "Lotus Escort Agency".

There were also several people standing at the door, but they were all dressed in civilian clothes. There were no swords hanging on their waists. The two brothers climbed up the steps and were immediately greeted by someone. The man looked at the two brothers' clothes and couldn't help but sigh. He frowned, but still smiled and asked: "Excuse me, are you two brothers looking for guards or someone to send escorts?"

Fortunately, I had heard Yu Lun talk about the Escort Agency before, so Zhang Xiaohu did not make a fool of himself. He also cupped his fists and saluted and said, "We brothers came to the Lotus Escort Agency to learn from the master."

The man looked Zhang Xiaohu up and down, nodded and said, "Please wait a moment."

Then, he shouted to the back: "Xiaosi, come here and take these two to the side room. They are here to learn martial arts."

There was a very smart and thin boy behind him who responded, ran over and led the Zhang brothers through the gate.

Inside the gate is a very wide place. There are a lot of weapons placed on one side of the place, and some stone locks and other objects are placed in the corner. The sun is still very strong at this time, and there are not many people in the place. They should be practicing martial arts. Everyone is still resting.

The boy took the Zhang brothers to the row of houses on the right side of the site, walked to the second door, and knocked carefully. After a while, a hoarse voice asked from inside: "Who is it? Come in."

The boy opened the door and led the Zhang brothers into the room. The room looked like a study. Behind the desk sat a man in his forties, dressed as a scholar, with a sleepy look. It seemed that he had just taken a nap at his desk.

Of course, the person who had his sweet dream was disturbed was not very happy. He looked at everyone and asked unhappily: "Xiao Si, what's the matter?"

The boy quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Master Wen, these two are here to learn the art of tou. Can you make arrangements?"

After hearing this, Mr. Wen waved his hand and said, "I understand, go ahead."

The boy smiled and said, "Please, Master Wen, I'll go out right away."

Then, he said to Zhang Xiaohu: "This is Master Wen of our Lotus Escort Bureau who is in charge of recruiting people for the martial arts hall. You can follow his arrangements."

Zhang Xiaohu thanked him with clasped fists, and the boy went out and closed the door with his backhand.

Fourth Master Wen looked at the two people's outfits and frowned. However, he took a booklet from the left side of the table, opened it, asked their names, wrote them down in calligraphy, and then asked: "What do you think?" Do you live in the escort agency, or live outside?"

Zhang Xiaohu said: "Of course I live in the escort agency."

Fourth Master Wen nodded and said: "Well, the tuition for one year of martial arts is fifty taels of silver, the room and board expenses are thirty taels of silver, and the two of you are one hundred and sixty taels of silver. Bring the banknotes." .”

Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua were dumbfounded when they heard this.
