"That's right. This is a small meeting without gaps. It's a rare opportunity. Jiang Yan comes from a wealthy family and will mobilize his family's strength to hire good players to practice with us. So if you can, try to join in..."
Cheng Shaojiu really considered Wei He. He thought that with Wei He's temperament and knowledge, it would be a pity if he was limited by his weaker qualifications.
Wei He smiled. Test? What kind of test game can a bunch of brats play?
Although the content of this seamless meeting sounds very tempting.
But he still has his own arrangements.
"Thank you for the recommendation, senior brother. However, Wei He knew that his qualifications were low, so he didn't forcefully participate, and he would be humiliating himself."
He answered calmly.
"Hey, don't be too impulsive. If you can gain some practical experience in this opportunity, it will be of great benefit to you in the future." Cheng Shaojiu advised.
"It's not out of impulse, it's just that I have my own arrangements. Thank you for your kindness, senior brother." Wei He declined again.
Cheng Shaojiu tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail, so he finally went back to talk to Jiang Yan and others.
"It seems that Junior Brother Wei is very self-aware." Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh.
"I have seen this kind of people a lot. Climbing up the pole, Senior Brother Cheng must have been pestered by him constantly and was embarrassed, so he brought it up here, right?
But if he thinks he can squeeze into our circle this way, he is totally wrong." Jiang Yan imitated his father and brother's posture and said with a calm smile.
"That's right, Senior Brother Cheng can't help but feel ashamed, but we don't have this trouble." Xiao Ran on the side agreed.
He also looks down on these unqualified wastes. It takes so long to learn such a simple thing. Why would he come to learn boxing if he is so stupid? Wouldn't it be nice to go back to farming and get more harvests?
Jiang Su didn't comment, didn't bother to pay attention, and just practiced microdermabrasion on his own.
Cheng Shaojiu was speechless and could only smile bitterly.
He wanted to explain that Wei He was not such a person, but judging from the looks on their faces, even the explanation would be in vain.
They didn't like Wei He at all. Rather than letting people come in and be angry, it was better to let it go.
In case the Qi and blood surge up and cause trouble, it will also be troublesome.
However, he sighed slightly in his heart.
I feel sorry that Wei He lost this opportunity.
You must know that this small meeting without gaps is a good opportunity to increase your experience against good players.
Because of the little gapless meeting, he even got in touch with the core disciples of other martial arts masters.
It is of great help to gain exposure to various types of exercises and increase experience in fighting.
pity....
Wei He didn't feel any pity at all.
After reaching an agreement with the third senior brother Cheng Shaojiu, the Cheng family did not start any formal work.
He also accepted a short-distance escort job and planned to go there first to get a long-term experience.
This is a temporary employment job for the Changfeng Escort Agency. The pay is good, five hundred taels per way, plus one stone of rice, and ten pounds of smoked pork. At the end of the day.
This job was to escort goods from the inner city to an earthen fort near Mingde Temple outside the city.
The reason why I took this job was because I had to pass by Mingde Temple, where Wei He's parents disappeared.
No matter what, he planned to investigate.
He was worried about danger when he went out of the city alone. But if he went with the large team of Changfeng Escort Bureau, the safety factor would be higher.
Wei He also asked about it. The work of Changfeng Escort Bureau is not like in the TV series in the previous life, where everyone who transports darts will get into trouble.
For a large escort agency like Changfeng, it is rare for an accident to happen once in ten escort trips.
Many bandits and bandits will give them some face and pay the toll to pass.
So he didn't think anything would happen to him this time. The chance of something happening was very small.
And just in time, Wei He also planned to take this opportunity to see with his own eyes what it was like outside the city, which had been rumored to be extremely dangerous.
Three days later.
Wei He put on the prepared short coat of the Changfeng Escort Bureau. The gray coat had the word "Changfeng" on it, which looked economical on fabric and beautiful.
Anyway, they are only temporarily employed, and it is impossible for everyone to customize a matching suit. Instead, this kind of short cloak-like outer covering can be used together regardless of height, fat or thin.
It can be recycled again and again, once and for all.
The wide gate of Feiye City slowly passed over Wei He's head.
He followed the long escort team, carrying a rough short knife at his waist.
This is not used for fighting, but is generally used to clear shrubs, weeds and poisonous insects.
The sound of gurgling wooden wheels kept coming from ahead.
Wei He took out a water bag from his arms, then took out a paper bag, took a small piece of golden dried meat from it, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
This was the silver-nosed black snake meat that he had just received from Senior Brother Cheng. Although it was dried and contained a little less nutrition, a palm-sized piece was enough for him to have a meal.
Really hungry.
In the past few days, Wei He unceremoniously took out one month's rations, which was the paper bag in his arms.
According to Cheng Shaojiu's estimation, this pack of dried meat can last for at least a month and a half.
It's just that he never expected that according to Wei He's way of eating, he could finish it in ten days at most.
Wei He took a sip of water, swallowed the dried meat in his mouth, pulled off his collar and looked at his chest.
The black color of the Realm Breaking Bead is obviously showing some signs of reappearing. An area the size of a grain of rice has begun to change color.
This silver-nosed black snake meat is indeed very effective.
If you had been eating moneyworm meat before, it would have taken at least two weeks to reach this level.
But now, it only takes three days for discoloration to appear. The gap has been shortened by an unknown amount.
"Not bad, not bad. If you keep at it, maybe you can save it again in two months." Wei He was full of expectations.
After experiencing the qi and blood at the cowhide level, he became even more curious about the subsequent changes in qi and blood.
At this time, the escort team slowly and steadily left the city gate and drove along the gray official road toward the distance outside the city.
Wei He took the opportunity to walk beside the convoy and looked around outside the city.
Outside Feiye City.
Not far from the city wall, there are cut fields. From a distance, you can see farmers beating their cattle for plowing.
The fields are like cut tofu pieces, one after another, extending far around the official road to the end of the horizon.
The fields are surrounded by dense mountains and hills.
Beyond the hills are endless mountains.
Chen Shiniu, the old escort from the escort agency, was walking on the right side of Wei He. He was an old man specially arranged to give him experience.
Seeing the fresh look on Wei He's face, he immediately smiled.
"Do you think there are dangers everywhere outside the city and you don't dare to go out of the city gate?"
"A bit." Wei He nodded, he was indeed a little surprised.
"It's very dangerous outside the city, but not here. At least within ten miles around the city wall, everything is safe. Beyond ten miles, hehe."
Chen Shiniu squinted at the official road ahead, the wrinkles on his face swaying as he walked, slackening and shaking.
"The first time I acted as a dart when I was young, it was just like you thought. There were bandits and horsemen outside the city, and there were ferocious beasts and poisonous insects everywhere. It was extremely dangerous!"
"But, I didn't know until later. Whether it's dangerous or not depends on who you are."
"Uncle Chen, what does this mean?" Wei He asked as he didn't understand.
"For example, our Changfeng Escort Bureau, one of the three major escort bureaus in Feiye City, has dealt with various areas outside, and has drank loyalty wine with many wealthy gang leaders. Everyone will give some face.
So on this journey, the main thing I worry about is wild beasts and poisonous insects. It’s actually very easy to be prepared for this.”
Chen Shiniu smiled and said, "There are also the fields around here. Don't look at it as all these farmers are working hard. In fact, 99% of these fields are not their own."
"That's...?" Wei He asked.
"For the gentlemen of the inner city." Chen Shiniu replied, with an expression of indescribable envy.
"The inner city is a great place. You can enjoy all kinds of fine wine and smoke. You can have everything. But everything costs money."
"Now let me tell you, money is not that easy to use anymore." A bodyguard on the side came over and shook his head and said, "Last year, one tael of silver could buy a jar of sheep bone wine, but now one tael can only buy half a jar."
"No, the money is getting worse every year." Another escort sighed.
"So now the bosses are exchanging part of their wages for rice and meat to avoid complaints, right?" Chen Shiniu said with a smile.
"The boss's benevolence and righteousness."
“Not bad, the owner is really kind.”
Suddenly there was a sound of compliments to Changfeng Escort Agency.
Wei He listened silently, no longer speaking, just being a bystander. At the same time, he was always vigilant and observed the surrounding situation.
In order to deal with the escort this time, he inserted a hard board into his chest and back, just to guard against long-range arrows and flying rocks.
As long as he didn't hit the vital part of the head and the rest of the area was cushioned by wooden boards, he could significantly reduce the injury rate.
The escort team moved forward. Because it was a short distance, it only took one day to go back and forth, and the distance was only ten miles.
Just arrived at the city's defense boundary.
Wei He was vigilant all the way, but to no avail. Everything outside the city was peaceful.
From time to time, we can see groups of wealthy children going out for an outing on the official road.
There are also city patrols who occasionally lead troops passing by.
The former was okay, no different from what he saw in the city. But the patrols he saw behind made Wei He a little silent.
These patrols were all sallow and thin, and walked weakly. Some held weapons in their hands, and some were just empty-handed.
He was wearing a yellow bottom shirt and a very old and crude gray leather armor, which could only protect his chest and back, but nothing else.
Wei He even saw that some of the shoes worn by these patrol soldiers were rag shoes with open toes!
Only the team leader who leads the team is slightly more decently dressed, but it is extremely limited.
That is to say, the weapons are more complete, the leather armor on the body is newer, and the feet are replaced with a pair of black cloth boots, that's all.
With soldiers like this, Wei He simply couldn't believe that the safety of Feiye City could be maintained by them.
The team kept moving forward, and the trailer escorting in the middle made a vibrating sound from time to time as it ran over rocks on the ground.
Gradually, as it got closer to afternoon, the escort team finally arrived at their destination.
According to the rules, you have to rest somewhere for a short while and replenish your supplies before returning.
Wei He also took advantage of this free time to say hello to Chen Shiniu and went to Mingde Temple alone.
Since it is considered safe within ten miles outside the city, then how did your parents disappear in Mingde Temple?
Now that he is here, Wei He plans to investigate quickly.
