Chapter 142: Success must take advantage of the wind
There is a large mansion on the outskirts of the capital Feng Yi. There are many men living here, ranging from teenagers to forty years old.
This is "Shunfeng Escort Agency".
Among the escort agencies in Shengguo, Shunfeng Escort Agency seems to have a little reputation.
Within the three rivers, the three major escort bureaus of Zhongyuan, Taiping, Yong'an, and Funing go hand in hand across the river; the Zhongtianmen escort bureau in the southwest hills stands out; in the north, the Lisha and Huwei families face each other from a distance and compete with each other.
Shunfeng Escort Agency is stuck between these places. Although the business is not good, its scale is not smaller than those of its counterparts. And the strangest thing is - you can always see Shunfeng Escort Agency putting up a notice recruiting escorts, but if it really
When I go to apply for a job, people always say, "We are full."
Of course, because Shunfeng Escort Agency has no intention of becoming bigger and stronger, on the contrary, it gets along well with its peers.
But if you underestimate Shunfeng Escort Agency because of this, it would be a big mistake.
Cui Wei, the chief escort of Shunfeng Escort Bureau - "Saiyang Youji is like Li Guang, and the general's arrows are unparalleled in the world", he was named "Guangmu Tianwang", he was thirty-six years old. Cui Wei was born in the military and ranked among the generals.
Because he lost an eye in the war and felt disheartened, he resigned from his position in the army and opened the Shunfeng Escort Agency.
In fact, at first glance, most people will think that the nickname "Guangmu Tianwang" seems to be a mockery of Cui Wei, who only has one eye left. But in fact, he got his name from his perfect bow and arrow after joining the army.
Therefore, even after hurting his eye, he did not shy away from this name. Instead, it became widely spread in the world.
Although Cui Wei did not come from a martial arts background, his skills were well-established in the martial arts world. In addition, he was a righteous man, which earned him a good reputation.
Like Cui Wei, most of the escorts under Shunfeng Escort Bureau were born in the army. After disarming and returning home, they defected to their old comrades and old bosses. These warriors who have been tempered on the battlefield, although their martial arts may not be as good as
They are comparable to the famous masters in the arena, but their extremely strong discipline and soaring evil spirit cannot be compared to the stragglers in the arena.
In fact, these people are indeed very suitable for the profession of escort masters.
Of course, there are many rules in the escort agency, and each escort agency is slightly different, but generally speaking, there are six iron rules, namely "three no-stays" and "three no-leaves."
The three things to do are not to live in a new store, not to live in a Yizhu store, and not to live in a prostitute shop.
The three "not separated" means that weapons should never leave the body, escorts and objects should never leave the person, and chariots and horses should never leave the courtyard.
Strictly abiding by these six rules is the most important thing to prevent being robbed.
But there are many crazy people in the world, and although not all of them are arrogant, they all like to be relaxed and at ease, and from time to time they will inadvertently commit these taboos.
There are many things that capsize in the gutter on the escort journey - sleeping too hard, weapons leaving the body, stolen goods, traps and murders in black shops, entanglements with prostitutes...these examples abound.
However, soldiers who were born in the army have strong discipline due to their training, and the corresponding security is also the highest. This is the biggest reason why Shunfeng Escort Agency can gain a foothold in the capital, where every inch of land is at a premium.
However, although Cui Wei is the chief escort of Shunfeng Escort Agency and the boss on the surface, he is not the real leader, and he is not even the third boss.
Today is not a special day, but all three leaders are present.
In the courtyard of the Escort Bureau, Qi Dan and Jiang Xian each pulled up a chair and sat there. In the middle of the two of them was a small stove with tea boiling on it.
"The wedding date has not been decided yet?" Jiang Xian crossed his legs and glanced sideways at Qi Dan. It has been more than half a year since Qi Dan came to propose marriage in person. After that, there was no news, and Qi Dan himself did not
Not to mention anxious, Zhu Zhaoer.
Generally speaking, marriages require a long time of fiddling with three documents and six betrothals. Although neither party cares about the betrothal gift or dowry, the rules are the rules. Not only does the process have to be followed, but it also takes a long time and needs to be handled more carefully.
grand.
"What's the hurry?" Qi put one hand on his knees and the other hand was adding firewood to the stove.
"I'm afraid that when your son is born, my son will be his godfather." Jiang Xian said casually.
Ever since he got Huzi, Jiang Xian has never left his son, especially showing off in front of Qi Dan.
"It won't be that late." Qi Dan didn't even look at Jiang Xian, "This year...it's hard to say, but it will be next year at the latest."
Jiang Xian guessed Qi Dan's thoughts and asked, "Why is it that marriage is as important to you as what to eat tomorrow?"
"Man, why don't you take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states in Guanshan." Qi Dan casually quoted: "A career will make a family successful."
"The industry is established? If your industry is established..." Jiang Xian sighed, and then added: "Have you forgotten what my father told you?"
On the day the little tiger was born, Jiang Yin pressed Qi Dan's shoulder and said something to him, and the content of these words was of course known to Jiang Xian.
"What do you think?" Qi Dan looked up at Jiang Xian.
Jiang Xian leaned on the back of the Grand Master's chair and said with a vicissitude of tone: "To be honest, if I were my father, or if I were his age, I would definitely say exactly the same thing."
"But it's me, not him. I'm still young... I can still go a step further." What is the next step for the Hussars General? It must be self-evident.
Ambition never belongs to one person, but to both of them.
After a moment, Jiang Xian suddenly whispered: "You think...for the two of us to do this, do we think our lives are too long?"
Qi Dan chuckled, and then sighed: "Some people are not suitable to live too long."
I don’t know how Jiang Xian understood this, but Qi Dan knew that he was referring to Qi Changgeng.
There are many examples in history of "living more and more". When they were young, they were heroic and heroic, but when they got old, they seemed to have changed. The proportion of this trait occurring in emperors can be said to be quite high.
If Qi Changgeng had died ten years ago, the Sheng Kingdom would not have become as precarious as it is now.
Take the case of the Northern Patrol as an example. How many innocent people were involved in an assassination case, which made the people panic. If Qi Changgeng hadn't been lucky, the Sanhu tribe in the north would have been reduced to a pot of porridge.
The county will have to lose at least 30%.
While they were chatting, Jiang Lian came over with a young man about the same age as him.
This young man is Little Wolf, and in Shunfeng Escort Agency, his nickname is "Little Wolf".
Qi Dan didn't care what his name was. He didn't even bother to remember the cub's real name. He just hadn't seen him for a while, but he felt something was different.
In the past, the little wolf boy was rash and reckless, and one could tell at a glance that he was an inexperienced child. However, after a few months at Shunfeng Escort Agency, he has become much more stable and capable, and his body is stronger than before - young man
Always greedy for growth, the cub has actually grown half a head in the past few days.
He stepped forward and bowed to Qi Dan and Jiang Xian, then stood quietly aside and listened to orders.
"Go and help in the kitchen." Qi Dan raised his chin at the young wolf. He paused, as if he didn't want to look so mean: "I brought her here."
Although he couldn't tell which of the "he, she, it" it was, the young wolf obviously understood, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but he still controlled his emotions: "Thank you, Mr. Bai."
Qi Dan didn't give any special feedback, just nodded slightly, and the wolf cub quickly left after seeing this.
Jiang Lian grabbed a bench from somewhere and sat down, made tea for the two brothers, and said seriously: "Brother Cui told me that this child is making rapid progress, and he couldn't keep up at the beginning.
I have made progress, but now I am the best among my peers.”
"Oh, you dare to call him a child...You are so old and you are pretending to be an adult!" My brother laughed and cursed.
It was common for Jiang Lian to quarrel with his eldest brother. He immediately retorted: "This guy likes the little cook, right? I can see it. You two are in the same group. You both have no brains - you are all focused on women."
Jiang Lian naturally heard the story from Qi Dan, and he was also very clear about the young wolf's admiration for Yue Ya'er. Isn't this just like his stupid brother - he can't walk when he sees his sweetheart, and the hero is short of breath?
The love between children lasts forever.
Jiang Lian was unconvinced about this. He still preferred Brother Qi Wu's character, who was decisive in killing and free and easy.
Unexpectedly, it was the fifth brother he admired who poured cold water on him: "Little cook? You even gave her a nickname. How dare you say you don't like her?"
Faced with Fifth Brother's stab in the back, Jiang Lian didn't have any special reaction. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "I don't deny it, but I won't be as useless as some people."
I don’t know who I am referring to by this.
Jiang Xian stretched out his hand and gave Jiang Lian a headache: "I turned against you."
Jiang Lian was also dissatisfied and shouted: "A gentleman talks but doesn't do anything. He has the ability to deduce on a sand table!"
Jiang Xian was also excited by him and agreed. The two brothers went into the inner hall and started fighting on the sand table with their chess pieces. They all sat aside and watched with interest.
I have to say that it was lunch that saved Jiang Xian's life. Just when Jiang Xian was trapped and sweating profusely, someone outside said "dinner is ready", which made him feel like he was amnesty, leaving the mess behind and ran away. Of course Jiang Lian didn't.
He would miss this opportunity to ridicule his brother, follow him up, and even nag a few words in his ear.
Qi Dan shook his head helplessly. He had no intention of dining. Instead, he leaned on the chair and played with a small and exquisite jade seal, but there was no inscription on it.
This thing is Qi Dan's new treasure, and he has never left it since he got it.
Why is this thing so rare for Qi Dan? Just because it is rare in the world.
The first of the ten most famous jades in the world, its name is Tashanshi.
Stones from other mountains can attack jade. It can be seen from the name - as long as this stone from other mountains exists, no other jade can be compared with it, and the top ten famous jades in the world can only be suppressed by it.
Why is this kind of jade superior to all other types of jade and why it has the most special name?
There is no other reason. The jade seal of the Sheng Kingdom was carved from a piece of stone from another mountain the size of an inkstone.
The stone Qi Dan came from was not that big, but it was about the size of a fist, so he asked a jade craftsman to carve it into the shape of a seal. However, he felt that if he engraved words rashly, he would regret it in the future, he would be wasting a piece of beautiful jade, so he did not engrave the words.
.
Maybe it's because he has already thought about what he wants to engrave, but... this piece of jade is too small.
