Chapter 362

The scribe said, "Chief Escort Lu, we will have to trouble you. However, this is only a temporary measure and will be rescinded in a few days. We will be responsible for all the losses of your escort agency."

Chief Escort Lu cupped his hands and said, "Commander Zhou is too polite. Elder Xi of your esteemed sect is my savior. If I don't help out with such a small matter, wouldn't I be worse than a pig or a dog?

Don't mention this compensation again. "

However, Commander Zhou disagreed and said, "Chief Escort Lu, you're wrong. Your friendship with Elder Xi is one thing, but we're already very happy that you're willing to help us with this big favor for Elder Xi's sake. This will delay the escort agency's business, but it's a matter of official business. We can't let private matters affect official business. Moreover, this is also my Sect Leader's intention, so please don't decline. Otherwise, when I return to the sect, how will I explain this to Elder Xi?

I can't let Elder Xi laugh at me for taking advantage of others because of him. "

"Hahaha," Chief Escort Lu laughed loudly and said, "If that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you for your sect master's kindness."

Commander Zhou also laughed and said, "Likewise. I still have to thank Chief Escort Lu for your kindness."

The two drank tea for a while, then Chief Escort Lu asked, "Commander Zhou, it's already the fourth day, and we still haven't seen the person or thing you mentioned. I presume they're no longer in Tanhe City."

"Mm, perhaps. Some of the sect's brothers have already followed the path down, but there hasn't been any news back yet. Hall Master Qiu also returned to the sect yesterday to report the completion of the mission. Looking at the situation along the way, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that they've already been picked up by their experts."

Chief Escort Lu asked with interest, "Commander Zhou, what are you looking for, and who are you looking for? Can you tell me a little?"

Commander Zhou laughed and said, "This isn't Chief Escort Lu's style. You haven't asked me about it for three days, so why are you asking again today?

Aren't you making things difficult for me? "

Chief Escort Lu chuckled and said, "Aren't people always curious?"

"Ah, curiosity killed the cat. Chief Escort Lu, it's better if you don't know what you shouldn't know. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but it'll really kill you if I tell you."

"Ah?" Chief Escort Lu was dumbfounded. He quickly said, "Then it's better if Commander Zhou doesn't say anything."

Then, he changed the topic and talked about something else. Zhang Xiaohua was bored and was about to leave when she heard Chief Escort Lu ask again, "How is Elder Xi doing in your sect?

I haven't seen him for many years. How did he join your esteemed sect?

That's right, your sect doesn't seem to have a great reputation. I've been in Jianghu for most of my life, so why … "

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Hehe," Chief Escort Lu laughed and said, "That's right, I really haven't heard of it. However, since Elder Xi was able to join your sect, you must be from a prestigious sect, right?"

"A prestigious sect?" Commander Zhou sneered and said, "How can a prestigious sect be compared to us?

I'm not afraid to tell you that if it weren't for Elder Xi's personal relationship with the Sect Leader, with Elder Xi's skills, he might not have been able to occupy the position of the last elder in our sect! "

"Ah!!?"

Chief Escort Lu was shocked. He had always thought that his savior was an important figure in this sect, so he had been neglectful in front of this scholar a few days ago. Now that he knew that the person he thought was his backer might not even be in his eyes, the expression on his face immediately became more respectful.

"Then your esteemed sect …" Chief Escort Lu seemed to want to ask something more. Zhang Xiaohua also pricked up her ears outside, wanting to know what kind of powerful sect this was.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside. Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly curled up her body and heard a person running in hurriedly. He first cupped his hands in salute to Chief Escort Lu, then moved closer to Commander Zhou's ear and whispered a few words.

Commander Zhou's expression changed drastically. He stood up from his chair with a 'bang' and shouted in disbelief, "What did you say?

Hall Master Qiu and his party of five were killed at the outskirts of the East Gate? "

This Commander Zhou's ability to remain calm was actually worse than the person who reported the news!

Chief Escort Lu, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but feel a little disdainful. How could such an uncultured scholar be a commander?

However, Chief Escort Lu underestimated him too much. Chief Escort Lu and the person who reported the news didn't know the extent of Hall Master Qiu's martial arts. Even if they knew that his martial arts were superb, they wouldn't know to what extent. Commander Zhou, on the other hand, knew Hall Master Qiu's background like the back of his hand. He deeply knew that Hall Master Qiu was a capable subordinate that his Sect Master had secretly nurtured. Although his martial arts were superb, he had never made a name for himself in the jianghu. If he were in the jianghu, he would definitely be the kind that could cause huge waves. His reputation might not be any worse than the current Righteous Alliance's Deputy Alliance Masters who were currently flourishing.

And yet, such a formidable figure had actually been beaten to a pulp at the outskirts of Tanhe City's East Gate. He couldn't be more dead. Five people had actually died in the same way. Not a single one of them had escaped. Even the five horses had been kicked to death. This was simply something that he had never dreamt of. Where did Rejuvenation Valley find such a formidable helper?

After hearing such shocking news, how could he still sit there calmly?

Naturally, his previous self-restraint had long been tossed beyond the highest heavens.

Commander Zhou couldn't be bothered to look at the two people's astonished gazes. He then slapped his head and said, "Aiyo, I've fallen for the enemy's diversionary tactic. Chief Escort Lu, this one needs to personally make a trip. Farewell, farewell."

Then, he turned to the messenger and said, "You, hurry and inform the brothers in the city to assemble fully armed at the East Gate. Release a carrier pigeon and inform the brothers who went south to send a portion of them over. Tell them that Rejuvenation Valley's men are hiding in Tanhe City and have now turned back. Ask them to hurry and provide support. Oh right, also inform Sect Master to send an Elder level expert over. We'll attack them from the front and back. Let's see where they can escape!"

When he finished speaking, he hurriedly left with the messenger.

Chief Escort Lu followed him out of the elegant room, muttering as he walked, "How did we get into a conflict with Rejuvenation Valley?

Really.

I was wondering why we didn't send the bodyguard to Mochou City. Aiyo, I forgot to ask him if that notice has been withdrawn. "

Then, he shook his head and said, "It's better not to withdraw it yet. When immortals fight, don't involve mortals. Someone will compensate me for my losses anyway. What's the hurry?"

Zhang Xiaohua was lying on the roof of the elegant room. When she heard these words, she was so angry that she almost released a flying sword from the roof to hack this guy to death. "Nonsense, you're not in a hurry, but I am!"

When Chief Escort Lu left, Zhang Xiaohua also floated down from the roof and disappeared with a twist of her body. She only emerged from the ground after she had used Earth Escape to a secluded place. She was filled with regret. What was all this? The escort agency didn't have any bodyguards. How was she going to get rid of this burden?

But now wasn't the time to get rid of this burden. Commander Zhou had fallen for her diversion tactic and had mobilized all the men in the city to the main road at the east gate. Mmm, when she thought of this, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but shake her head and wag her tail. Her quick-witted idea at that time had actually been seen as a well-thought-out stratagem. How could she not feel proud?

Right now, the most important thing for Nie Qianyu and Little Orange was to leave Tanhe City first. Of course, they didn't have to consider the east and south gates. They could only leave through the west and north gates first. Moreover, they'd heard from Commander Zhou just now that the brothers in the city probably included the men guarding the three city gates. If they didn't leave now, when Commander Zhou reacted and sent people to guard the gates, they would certainly be able to kill them. However, wouldn't that be beating the grass and alerting the snake?

How could she do this kind of work that didn't require any skill?

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly inquired about the address of the carriage company and found a shop nearby. Without bargaining, she found a medium-sized carriage and a good horse and bought them together. Hehe, fortunately, Nie Qianyu had just given her a small purse. Otherwise, our Hero Zhang would have to pay for it himself!

Zhang Xiaohua drove the carriage back to the small courtyard of the inn. Nie Qianyu and Little Orange looked at each other with bitter faces. When they saw Zhang Xiaohua driving the carriage back, their faces immediately changed. Zhang Xiaohua didn't explain and said, "Hurry up and pack your things. Move everything in the small carriage to the new carriage. I'll give you the time to drink a cup of tea."

After saying that, she didn't look at the two's faces and hurriedly went to the inn to find the shopkeeper to settle the bill.

When she came back after settling the bill, Little Orange had already packed everything and was standing in front of the carriage waiting for her.

Zhang Xiaohua was surprised and asked, "Where's Miss Nie?"

Little Orange looked at the carriage and said, "There, she's in the carriage."

Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Hehe, she ran quite fast. What about you? Why don't you get in the carriage?"

Looking at the martial arts master in front of her who she used to think was a country bumpkin, Little Orange was speechless and only said, "You, you really don't intend to send us off?"

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "Yes, I really don't intend to send you off. Hurry up and get in the carriage."

Little Orange bit her lips and bowed to him. She said, "Then, I'll thank you on behalf of Miss Nie for saving our lives. The world is big and the world is full of vicissitudes. I don't know when we'll meet again. Brother Ren, I hope you …"

Hearing Little Orange's words, Zhang Xiaohua almost laughed out loud. He only kept a straight face and interrupted her and said, "Okay, I know. Hurry up and get in the carriage."

Little Orange's unfinished words were choked back by Zhang Xiaohua. She had no choice but to get into the carriage, put down the curtain and stopped talking.

Zhang Xiaohua led Huanhuan over from the side and patted its head, indicating for it to follow the carriage. She jumped into the carriage and drove towards the west gate without saying anything.

She didn't say anything along the way. When they got close to the west gate, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly released her divine sense. As expected, she didn't see any Jianghu people holding swords outside the city. Only then did she feel relieved and leisurely drove the carriage out of the city.

But what about after leaving the city?

Zhang Xiaohua muttered in her heart. If she didn't find any bodyguards, who would send these two to Carefree City?

PS: That's all for today, thank you.
