The middle-aged man pulled out two iron swords from the side and threw one to the young man. The long sword in his hand shook out a sword flower, which shone with cold light.
As the young man held the sword in his hand, countless sword moves appeared in his mind, and they were all suitable for him to perform at this stage. He couldn't help but wonder, what was going on? Self-taught without a teacher?
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Boy, take the move!"
The middle-aged man looked around and used his arm length to draw a sword.
The young man casually struck out with his sword, and the back of the sword hit the opponent's iron sword. The middle-aged man's hand went numb, and the sword hilt shook violently. He was unable to control it, and watched helplessly as the iron sword fell from his hand.
Then there was a flash of sword light, and the young man's sword tip gently touched his shoulder, and he said with a smile: "I accept it."
The middle-aged man was stunned. How did he do it?
The young man bent down and picked up ten copper coins from the ground, shook them at the middle-aged man: "Thank you, boss."
After taking the money, he planned to buy some food to satisfy his hunger.
After getting out of the crowd, he came to a stall selling meat buns. The meat buns here cost two cents each. He bought five of them and found a place to eat them.
The bun seller saw that he was eating in a hurry, so she handed him a bowl of water, and the boy drank it all in one gulp.
He wiped his mouth and was about to leave when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. As soon as the hand pressed on his shoulder, he stooped a few steps away and turned around to observe.
The person who tapped him on the shoulder was a middle-aged man. He patted the air and was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "What a quick response."
The young man asked warily: "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I am the bodyguard of the Sifang Escort Agency in Linshui City. I just saw my brother's exquisite swordsmanship and I admire it very much. I came to you to invite you to join our Sifang Escort Agency."
The young man's heart moved: "Is there any salary for joining your escort agency?"
The middle-aged man laughed: "Of course there is salary. When I am not working as an escort, I get one tael of silver per month. For every escort trip, I get an extra amount of money. Our ordinary escorts' monthly income is about five taels of silver."
.”
One tael of silver is about eight hundred wen, and five taels is four thousand wen. The young man thought about it for a moment and felt that he really needed such a job that could provide him with enough food. He nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll join."
The middle-aged man was very happy: "Okay, you come with me."
The young man followed the middle-aged man for a while and arrived at the courtyard of the Sifang Escort Bureau. Some people in the courtyard were playing with guns and swords.
He took the boy to a tile-roofed house and asked with a smile: "What's your name?"
Young man: "Zhang Jun."
The middle-aged man said: "Zhang Jun, you will be our probationary escort from now on. The probation period is one month. If you perform well, you can stay."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Hong Gang. I am one of the captains of the escort team. For ordinary escorts, I am responsible for escorting them. Just follow me. You can call me Lao Hong from now on."
After a while, someone brought the bodyguard's clothes and a fine steel sword to the young man.
Young man: "Lao Hong, does the escort agency take care of the food?"
Hong Gang smiled and said: "You are responsible for food and housing. There is no limit to how much you can eat. What, you just ate five meat buns, aren't you full yet?"
The young man touched his belly and said, "No." Cultivating vitality consumes a huge amount of food.
Hong Gang said: "Follow me."
He took the boy to the kitchen, where several people were preparing the afternoon meal. When they saw Hong Gang, they all greeted him and called him Lao Hong.
Hong Gang said: "He has a big appetite, let him eat open."
A fat and white cook smiled and said: "Okay, no problem."
The cook opened the steamer, which contained white flour steamed buns. He opened another pot, which contained beef stew. He smiled and said, "You can eat whatever you want."
The young man was not polite, took the bowl and chopsticks, and then stood by the pot and started eating. The cook didn't think much about it, thinking that if the young man could eat three bowls, it would be considered a big meal, so he turned to work.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the cook came back with a smile to see if the boy had finished eating. As soon as he entered the room, he was shocked to see that the big basket of steamed buns had been completely eaten, and only the stewed beef was left in the pot.
After pouring some vegetable juice, the boy was soaking the steamed buns in it, and then ate the steamed buns soaked in vegetable juice.
The cook's eyes widened and he shouted, "Have you eaten them all?"
The boy swallowed the last bite of the steamed bun and said, "You stew the meat well."
The cook came over and touched his belly. Although he had eaten so much, the boy's belly was not bulging. Where did all the things go?
After wiping his mouth, the young man came to the compound and saw the bodyguards practicing. He also picked up a spear and started dancing with it. With the gun in his hand, many mysterious spear skills suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Buzz!"
The gun barrel vibrated, and nine gun flowers danced out of him in an instant. The shadows of the gun flowers were fixed in the air, just like real objects!
This scene shocked everyone. Hong Gang came out. He looked at it for a while and then shouted: "Zhang Jun, do you still know how to shoot?"
Young man: "I know a little bit."
Hong Gang smiled and said: "Liu Wu, how many moves can you and brother Zhang Jun do? I want to see his strength!"
A sturdy man in his fifties, more than 1.9 meters tall, walked out, dragging a big gun in his hand. This man's name was Liu Wu, he was a master of guns in Linshui City, and he was known as Big Gun Liu Wu.
A big gun once swept away more than a hundred gangsters, killing their opponents until they cried for their fathers and mothers.
"Boy, your gun show is pretty cool. But it's useless. Spear skills are not that simple." As he said that, he held the gun in both hands and pointed the tip of the gun at the boy.
The young man's gun was shorter and lighter, but he was not afraid at all, because when he held the gun, he was full of confidence. He was confident that he could stab Liu Wu to death with one move.
But this was a discussion, not a killing, so he took a step back and said: "Please."
The big gun in Liu Wu's hand buzzed, like a poisonous snake emerging from its hole, stabbing the young man's chest.
The opponent's gun was halfway out, and the boy suddenly took a step forward, lowered his body, and drew out the gun. A shadow of the gun shot upwards, hitting one of Liu Wu's buttons.
This button was made of copper. When the tip of the gun hit it, the button shattered. Liu Wu yelled, threw the gun and retreated.
He dropped his big gun to the ground and looked down at his chest. His buttonless clothes were open, and a blood-red mark appeared, which was exactly the shape of a button.
Everyone was shocked, Liu Wu, the big gun, couldn't even catch a single move!
Liu Wu was stunned for a few seconds, then bowed deeply to the young man: "Thank you for your mercy, brother."
He knew very well that if the young man's stab was just a little more deflected or a little harder, he would turn into a hot corpse.
The young man nodded: "Your gun lacks a soul."
Liu Wuyi was startled: "No soul? Are you talking about gun intent?"
Young man: "Absolutely."
He put away the gun, threw it lightly, and the long gun fell on the weapon rack, still in its original position.
Hong Gang was very happy and laughed: "Okay! From now on, our escort team has another great master!"
He stopped practicing spears, and started practicing boxing again. His boxing techniques seemed simple, but each move contained a secret. Every time he used a move, a mysterious force from heaven and earth would flow into his body.
,very comfortable.
When eating in the afternoon, the boy actually had another meal and ended up eating even more than before.
After dinner, it got dark. Hong Gang arranged a room for the boy to rest. The room was relatively spacious and could take a bath. In addition to the bed, it also had a desk and bench. Only an old escort could receive such good treatment. The boy relied on his strong enough
It was only because of his strength that he got such an arrangement.
