Chapter 48: Come and Lend a Hand
Chen Luo drove the donkey cart and came to the door of a escort agency. Huwei Escort Agency! The entrance was very grand, and it was still very lively even at night. Merchants kept sending goods in, and large boxes more than two meters wide filled the entire yard.
The escort agency was opened by Ma Quezi's senior brother. As early as when he was learning boxing, Ma Quezi had told him about his senior brother.
When Chen Luo first thought about coming to Bailong City, he planned to find a relationship, which is why he went to visit his master Ma Quezi when he left.
It's a pity that he didn't meet him, otherwise he would have gone to the door with a letter of introduction, and there would be no so many troubles.
"Who are you looking for?"
The escort at the door saw Chen Luo's stopped donkey cart and thought he was coming to the escort agency to deliver goods, so he asked.
"Please inform Master Ruan Jianglong that the disciple of an old friend from Qingya County is visiting."
After Chen Luo got off the car, he bowed respectfully to the disciples of the escort agency at the door, and then took out the token given to him by Ma Quezi from his sleeve. Without the handwritten letter, he could only use this thing to support himself. He only hoped that his uncle would still recognize this relationship, otherwise it would be troublesome.
It was definitely the worst way to go by himself to inquire about the news of Baixian Cave. Although the whereabouts of Baixian Cave could be asked everywhere in the mouth of the Nineteenth Young Master, that was based on the Nineteenth Young Master's status as a prince. It was definitely not easy for ordinary people to inquire about the whereabouts of Baixian Cave, and they might not even get it even if they paid money. The only information he bought from Qingya County was the approximate location of Bailong City.
Information always circulates in a certain class, and is completely blocked from the lower class, and the information of Baixian Cave is the same.
"An old friend from Qingya County?"
The escort who took the token looked at it in confusion, took the token in his hand, and said to Chen Luo.
"Then you go to the side hall and wait, that is where guests are received."
After speaking, he waved his hand, and soon a disciple came over to help Chen Luo lead the donkey cart away.
Chen Luo was not afraid of losing the donkey cart, so he followed the people into the Huwei Escort Agency. After he was settled in the reception room, the disciple hurried to the backyard with the token, presumably to report to Ruan Biaotou.
Chen Luo found a place to sit down.
In addition to him, there were two guests in the reception room, but judging from their attire, they should be real guests, the kind who had business to discuss with Huwei Escort Agency. Chen Luo just glanced at them roughly and didn't pay any more attention.
Turning his eyes to other parts of the room, in addition to the tables and chairs for reception, there was a large flowerpot in the corner of the room, in which a green plant with pleasing growth was planted. Chen Luo didn't know what kind of plant it was, but from the leaves it looked a bit like gladiolus, but it was probably not, it should be a unique fortune-bringing plant in this world.
People who do business believe this.
In addition to plants, there were some calligraphy and paintings hanging in other places in the room, with seals of famous artists on the sides.
Chen Luo didn't know any celebrities in this world, so he didn't look closely. But when his eyes swept over a certain painting, he subconsciously stopped because he saw a familiar name.
Wang Chengguan!
Chen Luo had a very deep memory of this name.
Qingya County was hit by a war that day, and many places were burned down, but only one house remained intact. Chen Luo went in to check and saw a piece of calligraphy on the desk. The name written on the calligraphy was this "Wang Chengguan".
"Brother, have you heard of the name of Master Wang?"
The merchant sitting next to Chen Luo asked curiously.
Since Chen Luo came in, Shen Jiu has been observing him. Now seeing that he noticed the calligraphy and painting like himself, he immediately felt like he had found a confidant.
"Master Wang?"
Chen Luo was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Wang Chengguan had such a background.
But before he could ask in detail, the escort who had delivered the token came back and said immediately after seeing him.
"The chief escort asked you to go in."
After that, the escort apologized to Boss Shen and another ancient.
"Please wait a moment, both of you. I have already reported the escorts you have assigned to the chief escort. They should be on their way now."
The two men are old customers of their Huwei Escort Agency. They stayed here because they had designated escorts.
"No hurry, no hurry."
The two men also stood up quickly and returned the greetings to the escorts.
The large escort agencies that can gain a foothold in the state capital represent a huge network of connections. Although they are rich, they also know the interests behind them, so they dare not put on airs.
Chen Luo followed the escort who led the way through the reception room and went to the backyard.
This Huwei Escort Agency is quite large.
After leaving the reception room, they passed two more courtyards before reaching the place where the chief escort lived. After that, the escort who led the way said politely and turned away.
Chen Luo looked inside through the courtyard door and saw two people sitting inside.
A burly bald man with exposed muscles and a black short shirt could not cover up his fierce aura. Just sitting there, he looked like a tiger looking for food, giving people a ferocious feeling. As for the other person, it turned out to be Chen Luo's master Ma Quezi!
"Master?!"
Chen Luo was also stunned.
He didn't expect Ma Quezi to be in this place. No wonder he couldn't find him when he visited him before.
"Haha, you came at the right time. Let me introduce you."
Seeing Chen Luo's shocked expression, Ma Quezi couldn't help laughing out loud.
He didn't expect to meet Chen Luo here. He was particularly impressed by this apprentice who he had only taught for half a month. There is a high probability that he was influenced by Chen Luo when he came out this time.
"This is your uncle Ruan Jianglong, the chief escort of Huwei Escort Agency, and the eldest brother of our Black Tiger Fist lineage, the master of Black Tiger Fist who has achieved great success." When he said this, Ma Quezi showed a proud expression on his face.
It is indeed a matter of pride for a boxing style to have a master of the mountain level.
In fact, when he came here and saw Ruan Jianglong this time, he was also shocked.
He had never even heard of a master before, and no one in the Black Tiger Sect had ever practiced martial arts to this level.
The most successful Black Tiger Fist is at most the level of the initial stage of bone forging.
But the eldest brother relied on this boxing style to practice to the master level, which opened his eyes and officially knew the realm after the bone forging realm. However, Ma Quezi also knew that Senior Brother Ruan Jianglong must have his own experience, otherwise he would not have been able to practice the Black Tiger Fist to this level.
Coming from the same school and getting to this point, he has already opened up a gap with other fellow students.
However, everyone has their own story. Ma Quezi was also a master in his youth and reached the Bone Forging Realm very early. If he had not encountered an accident, he might have become a master now.
"Hello, Uncle Ruan."
Chen Luo respectfully gave Ruan Jianglong a junior salute.
"Is this the genius you mentioned? It doesn't look very good."
Ruan Jianglong looked Chen Luo up and down, with doubt in his eyes. Just like Ma Quezi when he first met Chen Luo, he saw at a glance that Chen Luo's qualifications were not good. He believed that this kind of person was a waste, but he was the first one to not believe that he was a genius.
"My apprentice is different. I also made a mistake at the beginning." Ma Quezi naturally knew what his senior brother was thinking, so he spoke up to remind him.
"We'll know if he's a real genius after a try. Come on, lend a hand."
Ruan Jianglong still didn't believe it, so he stretched out his hand to weigh Chen Luo.
