Chapter 973 Riding a Donkey to Find a Horse
Chapter 973 Riding a Donkey to Find a Horse
Introduced by Zuobu, this luxurious man is an important steward of the Tianxing City Security Hall, named Qi Cheng.
His boss, Lun Hezong, is going to send a batch of very precious goods to Jufeng Castle, more than a thousand miles away.
After all, that's where Baoan Tang really made its fortune.
Qi Cheng was full of anticipation before, but when he heard Zobu say that the thin girl in front of him was the "big" hero who saved the entire Wind Castle from danger, doubt and disappointment appeared on his face unsurprisingly. , but quickly subsided, showing a businessman's excellent communication skills.
Qi Cheng slandered in his heart: How "big" is this guy? No, where is the shadow of a "hero"?
In the past two days, he had heard some names about Fengbao and "Wu Junfang", but no matter how he looked at them, he didn't look like a superpower who could save tens of thousands of people from life to death.
Could it be that she was impersonating his old friends?
But for the sake of years of friendship, Qi Cheng didn't embarrass Zuo Bu on the spot.
On the surface, he greeted Qingu politely: "...I didn't expect you to be the bodyguard who was rumored to destroy the orc command center. It's better to be famous than to meet... Oh, no, no, I mean, it's not as good as being famous... Let's meet... Seeing that Your Excellency has such skills and achievements at such a young age, I really admire, admire."
Qin Gu's reaction to the other party is not surprising at all, she has seen such expressions too much, anyway everything speaks with strength.
What's more, she didn't have any friendship with the other party before, why should others trust her right away?
In fact, Qingu really likes the cute contrast in his heart: how much he looks down on her now, how shocked he will be then... Think about that expression, it's very cute.
Little Z sensed the shopkeeper's emotional change, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
——That's right, this is the psychology that a normal person should have.
I'm afraid of the kind of aloofness who doesn't care about anything and despises everything.
Feeling that everything is others pushing her/he begging him/her, heart tired.
Qi Licheng immediately realized that there was something wrong with his words, probably because he was too bad at disguising his true temperament.
Just about to explain, the result became more and more confusing.
Seeing Qingu's "accustomed" look, he responded with a smile: "Hehe, those are just false names."
Then, Qi Cheng said, in fact, this escort mission was extremely dangerous, and many bodyguards retreated despite the difficulty.
The implication is "Are you okay?".
Qingu responded with a full mouth, and now she is very confident in her own strength. She was also very eager to check it out.
Qi Cheng saw that the other party was full of confidence and looked like no one else, this kind of demeanor is not bad, but...
He said: He also came to find bodyguards in advance behind his back, so he still needs to ask his boss for instructions.
Zuobu next to him glanced at this old friend in surprise, but didn't say anything on his face. He knew that this guy must judge people by their appearance, and I'm afraid he already had the intention of quitting. Just like when I was in Windcastle. But at that time his trip was relatively short and he hired four bodyguards. At that time, when he saw Qingu's thin and small body, he thought, since he has been hired, even if she can't, wouldn't there be three other experienced bodyguards? Unexpectedly, he was given such a big surprise in the end.
I think this time the old friend is the same as he was then, and he doesn't have much confidence in this thin little girl.
When Zuo Bu sent Qi Cheng away, he asked straight to the point: "You tell the truth, are you not going to consider Xiao Fang anymore? You have no confidence in Xiao Fang's strength?"
That's right, Qingu is now called "Xiaofang" outside, because she is petite, the scars on her face are gradually fading, and the skin on her body is gradually returning to the fairness of a girl under the nourishment of spiritual power. It seems that she already has the potential of a green girl . So everyone likes to call her affectionately—Xiaofang.
Qi Cheng was seen through by the other party, and thought, you are asking for nothing, of course you are saying excuses because you think the little girl is unreliable.
In fact, he was anxious to find a bodyguard during this time like an ant on a pot - the bodyguards here all knew the dangerous places they would go through on the road, so they were not very willing to accept the order.
It was hard to hire more than 20 people, and it was also because the other party was really short of money, or they were on the way.
But there is also a need for a leading bodyguard, which requires the other party not only to have a strong reputation and appealing ability, but the key is that the strength must be sufficient.
At this time, Zuo Bu specially recommended Wu Junfang to him. It was indeed rumored that this Wu Junfang was so great. He thought at the time that such a powerful person, even if their caravan is famous in Tianxing City, they might not accept his order. . Zuo Bu patted his chest to assure the ticket: he helped him match up.
Now, Zuobu has really drawn the line, which is a big favor.
However... No matter how grateful Qi Cheng is to his old friend, it is really difficult for him to connect such a little girl with some great hero or powerful person at the first sight. He couldn't entrust such an important matter to such a little girl.
Qi Cheng smiled awkwardly, looking very guilty: "This time...thank you, brother, thank you for helping me with this line, but...she, she..."
Zuobu knew this was the case. If it were someone else, Zuobu would never say another word, oh wrong, maybe he wouldn't even introduce it.
After all, when Xiaofang asked him to introduce customers, she trusted and valued him very much. He couldn't just introduce someone who failed her trust.
It never occurred to me that the old guy who thought he knew the basics and was the most trustworthy, would let the pigeons go halfway.
Alas, I blame myself for not making it clear at the time. In fact, he was also a little worried at that time. If he had said that "Xiaofang" was just a thin girl, maybe the result would be different with psychological training. Alas, it's all my own fault.
Zuobu said solemnly: "Ah Cheng, I told you the truth before, but now no one in Tianxing City dares to pick up your dart. If so, she is the only one. You should also know that some time ago About the beast tide in the castle, right? At that time, she was the main force to repel the beast tide. You can just ask the people in Windcastle, the caravan and bodyguards from Windcastle about it. If I lie, I will be punished. Thunder strikes from the sky..."
Seeing that his old friend was serious, Qi Cheng stopped him again and again: "Hey, don't, I didn't say I don't believe you. It's just..."
In fact, it means unbelief.
Zuobu was displeased, and said, "In a word, are you going to hire me or not?"
Qi Chengdao: "It's not that you don't know about our situation. We will pass through Heicheng on the way. Originally we wanted to wait for Huai'an to come back before leaving, but..."
"So you were waiting for Huai'an."
