Chapter six hundred and twenty first old vine blossom
Today's assassination was just a small wave under the surging undercurrent. Li Xiuyuan felt that this was not a bad thing, but on the contrary, it was a good thing. At least it reminded him that he should be on guard and that there were enemies in the capital.
, then I feel at ease, what to do next?
That’s all I know.
Furthermore, he still had some things to do in the capital and had to stay in the capital for a while. He couldn't just run away because there were enemies.
Li Xiuyuan took Wu Xiang, Han Meng and others to the escort agency to stay.
Naturally, it was impossible for the two sisters, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi, to come together. They had to go back to their home. After all, their home was in the capital, and they could not stay home for such a long time without settling down.
"Young Master, the Escort Bureau is behind the old tree in front. Although the location is a bit off, it's better because it's quiet and no one will disturb you," Han Meng said.
Li Xiuyuan looked up.
Sure enough, I saw an ancient tree standing in front of a gate.
This tree has a history of hundreds of years, and has long since died. However, it has not fallen down for decades after its death. Instead, there is an old vine coiled along the trunk, so lush that at first glance, I thought it was
It was this dead tree that came back to life and sprouted green leaves.
But the strange thing is that the old vines are full of flowers today, and a strange fragrance spreads, and anyone passing by can smell the fragrance.
"The villain, Sha Jin, is under the care of my employer. He is the head of the Shunfeng Escort Agency in Beijing. It is a great honor to meet the eldest young master today. The eldest young master invites you inside. The villain has prepared a banquet to cleanse the eldest young master. I hope you will
Young Master, please don’t think that the wine and food in the capital are not to your taste.”
A somewhat short man, with a group of bodyguards, greeted him warmly and spoke respectfully.
Han Meng whispered: "Sha Jin was originally a martial artist who performed in the streets. He learned the martial arts of iron cloth shirt. Although he did not reach the level of a master, he was extremely strong and strong. He was able to kill a cow with his sword.
Punch through a horse, even a man can withstand a hammer
Knock, there is no cover anymore, but the shopkeeper here has the foresight to recruit him as the head escort. His contribution is indispensable for the establishment of the escort bureau in the capital."
"Oh, if that's the case, he is really a rare talent." Li Xiuyuan was slightly different.
I started to admire this somewhat short man.
Sure enough, the people are hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Several masters around him were recruited from the people, Wu Xiang is the most important among them. However, Wu Xiang has magical powers and Buddhist dharma, which makes him an outlier. However, this person is just like the previous Hao Zhao.
, is a hidden master.
It would be a pity to use such martial arts skills to perform on the street.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "You are so polite, Mr. Sha, but this time it is the first time you have troubled Mr. Sha."
"The eldest young master said that, but the younger one is a little bit flattered." The head escort said hurriedly: "It was my boss who gave me this job so that I could have a decent job to do. My boss's kindness is not good for me.
I will never forget it. Today, the young master came to the capital to report on his work. It is a great honor for me to receive the young master.
How dare you call it troublesome, but the eldest young master is now an adult, a master. It is only right for a young man to work for the eldest young master. Young master, please come in quickly."
"Thank you." Li Xiuyuan nodded, no longer polite, and gave a salute.
He is now in a superior position, and being polite is a courtesy. If he is any more polite, the people below him will be at a loss.
"By the way, Mr. Sha, the flowers on this ancient vine are so gorgeous and the fragrance is overflowing. The Escort Bureau is located here, which is indeed a geomantic treasure. Not bad, not bad." Li Xiuyuan paid attention to the ancient vine and couldn't help but praise it.
Sha Biaotou hurriedly said: "Young master, I don't know. This ancient dead tree has not bloomed for more than ten years. I just don't know why. Just this morning, this ancient vine actually sprouted buds and bloomed flowers overnight.
The fragrance surprised everyone nearby, including many scholars and businessmen.
I came here specially to watch it, and even people from nearby came here to burn incense, thinking it was auspicious."
Li Xiuyuan took a look, and sure enough, there was still ashes of incense that had just been burned under the ancient tree.
"There is such a thing."
The head of the escort said with a smile: "The eldest young master is here today, and the old vine is blooming today. Maybe it is to welcome the eldest young master, this distinguished guest."
"Haha, if that's the case, I should be flattered." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
A ray of golden light flashed in his eyes inadvertently, and he looked at the old vine.
It was really just an old vine, and it did not give birth to evil spirits, nor did it channel spirits.
Not all trees and vines that are hundreds of years old can be psychic. It depends on chance.
Isn't it an evil spirit? Is it just that it blooms overnight by chance?
Li Xiuyuan glanced at it and immediately ignored it.
There are so many strange things in the world, many of which he himself cannot understand. Some are God's will, some are coincidences, and some are arranged by some unknown source.
Maybe the old vine blossomed really to welcome his arrival.
After having dinner.
Li Xiuyuan said again: "Boss Sha, I just took a look around the escort office. It's not a big place. I have fifty soldiers under my command and several confidants. I'm afraid I won't be able to settle here. There are other courtyards nearby.
You might as well rent a house, I think I will stay in the capital for a while."
"If the eldest young master has any ideas, I will go and find a solution for the eldest young master." Sha Biaotou was still a little flattered and said. He only felt that this eldest young master was kind to others, had no airs, and had a good temper. He must be a good person with such a boss.
A very lucky thing.
"But the eldest young master's words reminded the younger one that when the shopkeeper bought this escort agency, it was not only so fast, but also the yard behind it, it's just..."
Li Xiuyuan said: "Just what?"
The head guard was a little confused, "I dare not deceive the young master. This was originally the residence of a wealthy family. Later, someone died in the residence and evil spirits arose, so the residence was sold and the shopkeeper bought it at a low price.
Later, when I opened a escort agency here, I encountered it several times.
Some evil spirits are just causing trouble in the backyard and don't dare to come to the front yard. In the past few years, it has not caused any harm to anyone, so I just ignore it. The escorts in the escort agency all know it, so they just ignore it."
"With dozens or hundreds of men living here, what kind of evil spirit dares to cause trouble?" Li Xiuyuan smiled hoarsely: "I never thought that evil spirits would arise from the Chinese destiny bell in the capital."
"I will go to the backyard to rest today. If there is any evil spirit, just drive it away. This will save a huge area of space."
No matter how big the evil spirits here are, they can't be bigger than the mansion in Jinling City. Back then, there was a ghost king in Jinling City.
In the end, I was not surrendered by myself.
Moreover, Sha Biaotou has lived here for so many years without any problems. Maybe it's just some little spirits hiding here. It's just that ordinary people don't know about it, so they abandoned it for fear of being taboo. If there were really big monsters, something would have happened a long time ago.
