Chapter 302 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
An hour later.
Although he was new to Fengyuan and was unfamiliar with the place, Chu Xianping quickly found a small escort agency that was small in scale but had a good reputation.
Looking up at the simple signboard of "Shimen Escort Agency", Chu Xianping stepped into the main room, and soon an old shopkeeper came to greet him.
"Sir, I wonder if you have goods to send elsewhere?"
"..."
Without hastily answering, Chu Xianping turned around and closed the door, then took out a heavy bag of silver from his arms and threw it directly into the latter's hand.
"Shopkeeper, I have a big deal here..."
"..."
Outside the house, the bustling noise is still there.
Inside the house, this uncomplicated deal was quickly concluded.
For two hundred taels of silver, the Shimen Escort Bureau will send fifteen escorts to the Western Desert Gobi tonight to pick up Lao Zhangtou and Agou to come to Fengyuan secretly.
In ancient times when there were no communication tools, this way of picking up people sounded ridiculous.
But in fact, if Lao Zhangtou really wants to come to Fengyuan, the two groups of people are basically certain to meet.
After all, there is only one trade route across the Gobi. If you follow this road, you will most likely find Mr. Zhang and his wife.
Of course, in such a remote place, there are bound to be some bad guys like horse bandits.
And this is exactly why Wei Changtian sent someone to pick him up.
"Sir, I will call the chief escort of this trip to come out and see you."
After putting away the portrait of Lao Zhangtou, the old shopkeeper shouted to the backyard with a smile on his face: "Wang Biaotou, come out and meet the customer!"
The chief escort is the "first person responsible" for an escort order.
Before the escort service, the head escort of the trip must meet with the customer. If the latter is not satisfied, he can be replaced.
This is the rule of the escort agency.
"Hoola!"
The curtain connecting the main room to the backyard was quickly opened, and a muscular man leaned out and walked out.
"Haha, sir, this is..."
The old shopkeeper smiled and wanted to introduce the ace bodyguard of their bodyguard agency to Chu Xianping, but unexpectedly the two men were stunned as soon as they met.
"Chu, Mr. Chu?"
"Headguard Wang?"
...
As the saying goes, there are four major happy events in life.
A long drought brings sweet rain, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and the time of inscription on the gold medal list.
For a young man like Wei Changtian who had no worries about food and drink, he probably would never have the chance to experience the first and fourth joys in his life.
And he has already experienced the third joy.
As for the only second joy left, "meeting an old friend in a foreign land"... I can only say that this scene can barely be considered.
"Wang Biaotou, why are you in Fengyuan?"
In a small restaurant not far from Shimen Escort Bureau, Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping looked at the man sitting opposite with curious expressions.
This person is none other than Li Suyue's "deceased husband", Wang Qian.
"Oh, this matter is actually quite simple."
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Wang Gan's lips: "Master Wei, Master Chu, I don't know where to go after I leave Shuzhou. I just want to go somewhere farther away to make a living."
"Later, I happened to meet the escort team of Shimen Escort Bureau on the road. Seeing that my kung fu was good, they invited me to come to Fengyuan to have a meal."
"I thought that I would be the same anywhere without any worries, so I just came here."
"At least this can..."
Wang Qian didn't finish his last sentence, but both Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping knew what he wanted to say.
Do you want to stay away from the sad place...
As the "pusher" behind Wang Qian's current situation, Wei Changtian's mood at this time was actually quite complicated.
But in that situation, he really had no choice.
It can only be said that fate plays a trick on people.
"Oh, Mr. Wang, I'm sorry."
After pouring a glass of wine for the latter, Wei Changtian's apology was considered sincere.
But of course Wang Qian didn't dare to accept this apology. He quickly held the cup with both hands and shook his head: "Young Master Wei is willing to spare my life. Wang is very grateful. Your words really make me extremely ashamed."
"Besides, I'm living a pretty good life in Fengyuan now, and the past... I've almost forgotten about it."
Holding up the wine glass, Wang Qian lowered his head: "To be honest with you two young masters, I was thinking of getting married after I saved some money a few days ago."
"..."
Marry again.
It's hard to tell whether Wang Qian really meant what he said, or whether it was just to make Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping feel at ease.
Of course Wei Changtian hoped it was the former, but thinking about it, the real situation should be the latter.
Shaking his head without saying anything, Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping raised their glasses in the same manner. The three glasses collided with each other, making a crisp "ding" sound.
"Brother Wang."
Suddenly changing his title, Wei Changtian smiled and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's rare to meet old friends in a foreign country. Let's just have a good time drinking tonight!"
"I will accompany you two gentlemen to the end!"
"Hahaha, okay!"
"Come on, drink!"
"..."
There are three thousand worries in life, and one drunkenness can solve a thousand sorrows.
Push the cup to change the cup and drink happily.
The three of them drank in this tavern from dusk until the moon was high, and they did not say goodbye at the entrance until the shop was about to make samples.
Although they were all third-level warriors and should have the capacity to drink a thousand glasses of wine, the soft moonlight still reflected the three slightly red faces.
"You two gentlemen, please rest assured. I will definitely escort Senior Zhang back to Fengyuan safely!"
Wang Qian handed over his hand and signed the guarantee, while Wei Changtian smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Okay! Then we have Brother Lao Wang. I will wait for you to come back in Fengyuan."
"yes!"
Farewells between men are always brief. After just a few words, the three of them walked to the east and west sides of the alley.
At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the road. A gust of evening wind blew by, and Wei Changtian looked back at Wang Qian's back.
His shoulders were broad, his figure was upright, and his steps were steady. But at a certain moment, he suddenly raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, as if wiping away the dust particles caught in the wind.
Suddenly, Wei Changtian turned to Chu Xianping and asked, "Brother Chu, do you think I owe Brother Wang anything?"
The latter was silent for a while, then shook his head: "No."
"Is it......"
Wei Changtian stopped talking and just exhaled a long breath. His heart did not feel any better because of Chu Xianping's answer.
There are three thousand worries in life, and one drunkenness can solve a thousand sorrows.
But I'm afraid that when I wake up, I will become even more disabled, and my sorrow will remain the same.
...
Shuzhou City.
"Master, tell me if there will be any danger in my going to Fengyuan this time."
In the room with several bright candles lit, Li Suyue was sewing the clothes in her hands while asking Zhang San who was cleaning the knife next to her.
Five months pregnant, her belly has bulged significantly now, and things are not as convenient as before.
But fortunately, she no longer needs to take care of the affairs at home.
Since Lu Jingyao came here, she bought several maids at once. Now these people do everything, and Li Suyue mostly does small work in the house.
"Young Master is very resourceful, and you can't do it even if you think about it."
Zhang San put the long sword back into the scabbard: "Don't think too much, I'll go see if Ran'er is asleep."
"good."
Li Suyue nodded and watched Zhang San push the door open with a happy smile on her face.
"Chirp, chirp~ chirp, chirp~"
Outside the window, I don't know what kind of bird was chirping vaguely, and the hairpin in the hair reflected a soft light.
It sounds strange.
Although Li Suyue now owns a lot of jewelry, some of the prices can even be called "expensive."
But in the end, she still liked this one the best.
