Chapter 92

With a means of transportation, the afternoon sun naturally did not affect Zhang Xiaohua. Sitting in the horse carriage, he thought about the previous time when he and Second Brother traveled all the way to Ping Yang City. Zhang Xiaohua thought to himself, "No wonder everyone is willing to live in a big city. The feeling is really different. The quality of life is really high.

In the countryside, even if one wants to enjoy such a life, there is no way to do so. I wonder how much would it cost to take a carriage?

It's better not to ask. Otherwise, Ma Jing will nag again. "

The sound of horse hooves could be heard. After about ten minutes, the tall city gates of Ping Yang City were in sight. Seeing Ping Yang City again, Zhang Xiaohua was no longer as surprised as before. It was as if he had already taken it for granted and ignored it. People's habits were indeed scary. This was only the third time he saw it, but he had already lost his novelty. If he were to see it every day, he would definitely ignore it no matter how precious it was.

When the horse carriage entered the city, Zhang Xiaohua thought that it would head in the direction of the carriage company. Unexpectedly, it turned in another direction. Although Zhang Xiaohua did not remember the way, he still knew the general direction. He asked Ma Jing in confusion, "Brother Ma, the carriage company doesn't seem to be in this direction. Did I remember wrongly?"

Ma Jing had long been tortured by Zhang Xiaohua's strange question. He looked at him and said unhappily, "The carriage company is not in this direction, but Zuixiang Brothel is in this direction."

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he quickly stood up. Fortunately, he was still short and almost touched the roof of the horse carriage. Ma Jing was shocked when he stood up and asked, "What's wrong, brother?"

Zhang Xiaohua said with a red face, "Brother Ma, I really don't want to go to Zuixiang Brothel. Let me alight."

Ma Jing looked at Zhang Xiaohua's embarrassment and laughed out loud. He said to the front of the horse carriage, "Coachman, please stop for a while and let my brother alight."

The horse carriage stopped. Zhang Xiaohua quickly jumped down from the horse carriage, afraid that the horse carriage would continue moving and bring him to Zuixiang Brothel.

Ma Jing leaned half of his body out of the horse carriage and asked, "Brother, do you know the address of the carriage company?

You can go to the carriage shop and look for a carriage. Don't forget, you still have to walk back. Also, where are you going? I can get a carriage to send you back later. "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I know, Brother Ma. You don't need a carriage. Just remember to go back early tonight."

After saying that, he waved his hand and ran away.

"Come back earlier?

It's not easy for me to come out. It would be strange if I returned early, "Ma Jing said to himself as a lewd smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Xiaohua ran along the road for a while. When she felt that she was far away from the carriage, she stopped and asked a shop assistant for directions to the Ming Lian Hua Escort Agency.

Although it was already noon, the wide roads of Ping Yang City were still crowded with people. Zhang Xiaohua squeezed through the crowd with great effort. As he squeezed through the crowd, he was also paying attention to whether anyone was thinking about the money in his arms. Although he did not have a money pouch on his waist, he was still worried even if he had it in his arms. It was really funny to think that he would encounter a thief on his first shopping trip with Second Brother.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him. Zhang Xiaohua could not help but be stunned. Speak of the devil and he would appear. He did not know anyone in Ping Yang City. If this figure was not Zhang Xiaohu, then it must be the thief that he almost caught the last time.

Looking at the thief walking in front of him, Zhang Xiaohua felt that it was funny. Thinking that he must be looking at other people now, Zhang Xiaohua could not help but quicken his steps.

Sure enough, in front of the thief was a scholar, holding a folding fan. As he fanned himself, he looked around. Whenever there was a novelty stall on the side of the road, he would stop and look at the old books on sale. Sometimes he would buy some brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone. The money pouch on his waist swayed from time to time, causing the thief to shake his head from side to side.

Seeing that the thief had been following the scholar for some time and did not have a good chance to catch him, at this moment, there were fewer people in front and it was a fork in the road. The thief quickened his steps and was about to get close to the unsuspecting scholar. Zhang Xiaohua, who was behind him, could not stand it and naturally wanted to stop him. However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaohua was more cautious. She remembered that when she caught the thief last time, a group of people surrounded her and she was still shielded and escaped. Zhang Xiaohua looked around and thought that these people were also around. If she rushed forward rashly, she might be able to catch the thief, but they were a group of people and she was no match for them. Last time, Second Brother was around and they did not make a move. This time, she was alone and she might be plotted against by them. She remembered that when she came out, Liu Kai and Mr Liu repeatedly reminded her that it was good to be brave for a just cause, but she must consider her own safety first. What should she do?

Seeing that the thief's hand had already reached out, the scholar was still looking up at the roadside signboard. Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up and she shouted, "Brother Zhang, why are you here?"

Zhang Xiaohua's voice was very loud and clear. Several people around them turned to look at her, especially those surnamed Zhang. The scholar also turned his head in response. Seeing that the scholar turned his head, the thief quickly withdrew his hand and pretended to buy something, lowering his head to look at the small stall by the side.

Seeing that the scholar turned his head, Zhang Xiaohua was also stunned. Zhang Xiaohua really knew this person. It turned out to be the scholar Li Jinfeng who had entered the city with her in the carriage a month ago. It was really a coincidence. She only knew a few people, including this thief. Today, she had only seen two of them.

Zhang Xiaohua walked forward with a smile. Li Jinfeng was also very surprised. Although he did not have a deep impression of Zhang Xiaohua, after all, they had been in the same carriage for a long time and they had only parted for a month. Moreover, seeing that Zhang Xiaohua walked towards him and looked at the people around him, it seemed that no one was responding. He guessed that he was the one he was looking for.

Zhang Xiaohua went forward and said, "Brother Li, hello."

Li Jinfeng asked in surprise, "You are Zhang … Zhang Xiaohua, right? I haven't seen you for almost a month and I almost forgot your name. However, I am better than you. Why did you call me Brother Zhang just now?"

At this time, the thief at the side saw that the two of them knew each other. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua was the one who had chased after him some time ago. He had already slipped away when they greeted each other. Zhang Xiaohua then told Li Jinfeng about seeing the thief just now.

Li Jinfeng touched the money pouch at his waist. He guessed that Zhang Xiaohua was telling the truth. He could not help but say happily, "It's really thanks to you. If it weren't for you, my living expenses for this month would be gone. I have to thank you properly."

Zhang Xiaohua naturally declined and said, "Big Brother Li, you're too polite. After all, we're familiar with each other. Even if we're strangers, we'll still help if we can. If I have to thank you for such a small matter, then it'll be a waste of our friendship."

Li Jinfeng saw that Zhang Xiaohua's words were very reasonable and could not help but look at him in a new light. He felt that the young man in front of him was no longer the same as when he first met him. He was less immature and more mature. Li Jinfeng could not help but like him from the bottom of his heart, as if he was his own younger brother. Therefore, he affectionately patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, since you said so, I won't be polite with you. We are all drifters. If there is anything I can help with in the future, feel free to look for me."

Then, he told him his address and other things. Zhang Xiaohua memorized it carefully.

Li Jinfeng looked at Zhang Xiaohua's green clothes and small hat and felt very strange. He asked, "Where are you going now?

Why are you dressed like this?

Did you become a servant of some rich family?

And your brother? "

Zhang Xiaohua roughly told Li Jinfeng about her recent situation, but did not mention anything about Huan Xi Manor and Misty School. Although Li Jinfeng was in Ping Yang City, he was after all a student and did not know about the matters of the jianghu. Therefore, he did not know about Huan Xi Manor and thought that it was the manor of an ordinary rich family. However, when he heard that Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu had been waiting for them in front of the carriage for a long time, he could not help but blush and feel ashamed. That day, he was dragged out to stay with Shangguan Yun. First, they ate, then drank. When he woke up, it was already late in the morning. The promise he had made to the Zhang brothers had long been forgotten. Now, if Zhang Xiaohua had not mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that he had patted his chest in front of them.

Li Jinfeng was after all a knowledgeable scholar. He immediately said, "Brother Xiaohua, I have indeed forgotten that day. I have made you wait for so long. I am very sorry. I apologize to you now."

After saying that, he bowed to the ground. Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly pulled him and said, "Brother Li, you don't have to be like this. Anyway, that Lotus Escort Agency is very easy to find. We just have to ask around and find it."

Li Jinfeng continued to ask, "Brother Xiaohua, where are you going now?

Is it the Lotus Escort Agency? "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Brother Li is really clever. How did you guess?

I am going to the escort agency. "

Li Jinfeng smiled and said, "I heard you say that this manor is outside the city. You haven't entered the city for a while. Now that you are here, you are naturally going to the escort agency to see your brother. This isn't hard to guess."

Zhang Xiaohua scratched his head and said, "After listening to Brother Li's analysis, it really does make sense. Little brother sometimes doesn't like to use his brain, so I can't see very simple things clearly."

Li Jinfeng patted his head and said, "You are still young. This is the time for you to use your brain. When you encounter something, don't ask others first. Think about it first. Perhaps you will have a plan. Other people's answers are other people's. They may be right, but they may not be suitable for you. Only the answer that you think of yourself belongs to you."

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind. He seemed to have thought of something, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't figure it out.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's stunned expression, Li Jinfeng said, "I haven't been to the escort agency to see Shangguan Yun and Yu Lun for a long time. Now is a good time to go see them with you."

Zhang Xiaohua said happily, "Is that so?

Those two people are also in the escort agency?

Are they also armed escorts? "

Li Jinfeng looked at Zhang Xiaohua's happy expression and shook his head, saying, "I don't know what they are doing in the escort agency. They should be learning martial arts. However, they shouldn't be armed escorts.

Their family background is not bad, especially Shangguan Yun. He seems to be very rich. They definitely wouldn't join the escort agency. "

Zhang Xiaohua's face turned red. Just now, Li Jinfeng had told him to use his brain more, but he had forgotten in a flash. He even rashly said that they were armed escorts. He reckoned that they weren't even bodyguards. They should be learning martial arts from Fourth Master Wen and the others. Sigh, he had to use his brain more in the future. He couldn't speak blindly. Silence was golden!

Then, Zhang Xiaohua said, "Brother Li, I know. There is a martial arts center in the Lotus Flower Escort Agency. You need to spend money to learn. I reckon that Big Brother Shangguan and Big Brother Yu are practicing martial arts there."

Li Jinfeng smiled and said, "That should be the case. What they don't lack the least is money.

Come, let's go see them. I also have to apologize to your brother.

Oh right, what's your brother's name? "

Zhang Xiaohua stuck out his tongue and said, "My second brother's name is Zhang Xiaohu."

Then, the two chatted as they walked towards the escort agency.

The escort agency was near the city gates. Zhang Xiaohua had fled with Ma Jing's carriage not long after entering the city gates. If he hadn't met Li Jinfeng, he would have arrived at the escort agency long ago. Even though Li Jinfeng was a scholar and walked much slower than Zhang Xiaohua, the two still arrived at the entrance of the escort agency very quickly.

There were many people coming and going in front of the escort agency today. It looked very lively and business was probably good. The stone lions on both sides were still mighty, but in Zhang Xiaohua's eyes, he didn't pay much attention to them. He only felt that they were ordinary.

Li Jinfeng walked up the steps and raised his hand to salute the guards standing in front of the door. "Everyone, I'm going to the escort agency to look for Shangguan Yun who is practicing martial arts here. Please make it easy for me."

The leader of the guards smiled and said, "Oh, you're looking for Young Master Shangguan. I wonder if this young master knows how to get inside?

There are many things going on today and I'm afraid I don't have time to bring you there. "

Li Jinfeng quickly said that there was no need. "I've been to your escort agency more than once. I know where Young Master Shangguan is. I'll go there myself."

After saying that, the guard made an inviting gesture and said, "Then please, Young Master."

Li Jinfeng nodded and turned around to greet Zhang Xiaohua. He then led him through the door of the escort agency.

Zhang Xiaohua was dressed as a manservant, so the guards only thought that he was following Li Jinfeng. Naturally, they didn't stop him to ask questions and let him pass after a glance.

There were some people walking around in the square in front of the door. It seemed that they were all here on business and didn't practice martial arts. Zhang Xiaohua dismissed the idea of asking questions and followed Li Jinfeng. He wanted to wait until he saw Zhang Xiaohu before asking for more information. Although Zhang Xiaohua didn't specialize in martial arts like them, they were all living under the same roof. Perhaps he would be familiar with him.

The last time Zhang Xiaohua came, she only saw a row of small houses on the right side of the square. Looking at them now, she saw that they were all closed. They were probably resting.

Li Jinfeng didn't stop in front of these small houses. He walked along the corridor in front of the house and walked into a spacious courtyard. There was a row of houses in front of him. It was also quiet. Many large trees were planted in the courtyard, making it very shady. After passing through the courtyard, there was a screen wall. There were two doors on the left and right. Li Jinfeng didn't hesitate and turned left. After entering through the door, there was another long corridor. At the end of the corridor was a row of exquisite houses. Li Jinfeng brought Zhang Xiaohua to the doors of several fine houses. After carefully identifying them, he walked to the one in the middle and quietly knocked on the door.

After a while, a lazy and slightly hoarse voice said, "Who is it? What's the matter?"

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this voice, her heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this Yu Lun's voice?

She actually remembered that he didn't seem to have spoken much to her.

Sure enough, Li Jinfeng said, "Brother Yu, it's Li Jinfeng. I'm here to see my two brothers."

Before he finished speaking, another voice sounded, "Oh, it's Brother Jinfeng. Come in quickly. You haven't been here for many days. Are you busy with your homework?"

This voice had a slight arrogance. It was Shangguan Yun.

Li Jinfeng pushed open the door and entered. He smiled and said, "I'm not busy with my homework. I'm just preparing for some exams. I don't have much free time.

When I have time, I come to see the two heroes. "

Inside the room, Shangguan Yun and Yu Lun were sitting on two chairs. They were still a little sleepy. It was obvious that they had just woken up from their afternoon nap. When they saw Li Jinfeng come in, they both stood up and nodded in greeting. Then they sat down. They were probably familiar with each other and didn't have to be so polite.

"Haha, Brother Li, you're too polite. When it comes to heroes, Brother Shangguan is naturally worthy of the title. I'm just a mediocre martial artist. I really don't deserve that title." Yu Lun said very modestly.

Shangguan Yun said, "Yu Lun has also improved recently. If you practice harder, you will have a bright future. There's no need to belittle yourself."

When the two finished speaking, Li Jinfeng said again, "I brought an acquaintance today. Guess who it is?"

"An acquaintance?

An acquaintance? "The two looked at each other blankly.

Li Jinfeng smiled and said to the outside, "Zhang Xiaohua, come in."

Zhang Xiaohua then walked in with a smile. She bowed to the two of them and said, "Greetings to the two brothers. We haven't seen each other for more than a month."

The two of them looked at the greeting and were puzzled. Why would this follower of Li Jinfeng say such things to them?

After taking a closer look, they realized that this was the young man from the countryside who sat in the same carriage as them when they came to Ping Yang City. He had just changed into a servant's clothes.

Shangguan Yun saw Zhang Xiaohua bowing and did not get up. He nodded as a return of the greeting. Yu Lun did not return the greeting. He just walked forward and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, you were in the same carriage as us. Haha, how did you become a servant under Brother Li?"

Li Jinfeng heard and quickly explained, "No, no, I can't even take care of myself. How can I find a servant?

This Xiaohua brother is working at Huan Xi Manor. "

"Huan Xi Manor?"

Shangguan Yun heard and raised her eyebrows, saying, "That's a good place. The treatment should be good. Zhang Xiaohua, you're lucky to find a good place as soon as you arrived in Ping Yang City."

Yu Lun asked, "Is Huan Xi Manor very famous?"

Shangguan Yun looked at him and said, "Huan Xi Manor is the property of the Misty School. Like the Lotus Escort Agency, it is under the management of the Misty School."

Yu Lun then understood and continued to ask Zhang Xiaohua, "Oh yes, Zhang Xiaohua, didn't you want to come to the Lotus Escort Agency with us the last time you came to Ping Yang City? Why did you go to Huan Xi Manor?"

Zhang Xiaohua blushed and said, "This, we originally wanted to come to the escort agency to practice martial arts. However, the people there said that we have to pay to practice martial arts. We didn't have any money, so we could only …"

Without waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to finish, Yu Lun laughed and said, "I knew it. When you asked about the Lotus Escort Agency that day, I was puzzled as to why you came to the agency. I didn't expect you to have the intention to practice martial arts. If I had asked you more at that time, I would have dispelled your delusion. The poor study but the rich practice martial arts. How can you learn martial arts without money?

The cultivation of martial arts is not something a person like you can imagine. It's better for you to work hard as a servant. Once you've earned some money, you can go home and buy a piece of land. When it's bigger, you can marry a wife and take care of your wife and children. "
