Chapter 128 The Turmoil at the Escort Agency 1
After passing through more than a dozen checkpoints, they finally entered Fengjing City.
After crossing a stone bridge several tens of meters long, the carriage turned onto a road specifically for carriages.
The road is flanked by stone walls that are several meters high.
The road stretched straight ahead, with no end in sight, and all that sped along it were horse-drawn carriages of various kinds.
The types of exotic beasts that pull the carts are numerous. The unicorn horse is just the most common one. Others include rhinoceroses, elephants, cheetahs, and others with special bloodlines.
Fifteen minutes later.
They arrived at the entrance of Li's Escort Agency.
The gate of the escort agency was extremely grand, with two huge silver lion head door knockers on the black gate, and two stone sculptures of one-horned tigers sitting in front of the gate.
However, at this moment, there was a demon warrior with a lion's head and a human body at the main gate. His cultivation had reached the late stage of the Core Formation Realm, and he was carrying a heavy black broadsword.
The demon warrior looked at a middle-aged man dressed in black with a burly, mountain-like build at the door with an unfriendly expression.
"Brother Li."
"Why bother?!"
"I'm here to bring you business too."
"It's not right to shut me out."
The black-armored demon warrior with a lion's head and a human body spoke with a chuckle.
"Our Li's Escort Agency can't afford to do your business. We can't afford to be associated with Lord Qianhe."
"Our Li Family Escort Agency is a small, insignificant business; we hope you will find someone more capable!"
The middle-aged man in black, dressed in a close-fitting outfit, shook his head firmly and said.
This vicious lion is wicked at heart.
What we call business is nothing more than bait.
Once you take this bait, you'll most likely be robbed after leaving Fengjing City. The things they're offering are so tempting that even a True Yuan Realm martial artist would find it hard to resist.
Their Li Family Escort Agency only has one old master, a martial arts expert of the Gang Jin level, who is quite old and hasn't escorted goods for many years.
For the Li family's security escort agency, taking on this deal would be like a piece of fat meat delivered to their doorstep.
This guy wants to get both money and goods.
I certainly cannot accept it.
"cut."
"It's an honor to entrust Lord Qianhe's belongings to your escort agency."
This is the second time.
"What if they don't appreciate it later?"
"Then be careful, your Li Family Escort Agency might not be able to continue operating in this East 19th District."
The lion-headed, human-bodied demon warrior spoke with disdain.
After saying that, he turned and left.
At this time.
After the ferocious lion left, a carriage sped up from the end of the road and stopped in front of their security agency in the blink of an eye.
"Xiao'e".
"It's the second young lady who's back."
When the middle-aged man in black saw Xiao'e, a young girl in a pale yellow dress driving a carriage, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
Since the young lady's accident and death.
The second young lady was the old sect leader's favorite person, but she had been gone for several years and has finally returned now.
"Second Miss".
"This must be the young master."
"Please come in quickly."
The middle-aged man looked at Li Yumei and Lin Zhou as they stepped down from the carriage, and hurriedly went up to them, speaking with a smile on his face.
"Senior Brother Rong."
Li Yumei politely bowed and said.
Although this Senior Brother Li Rong is not of the Li family bloodline, his life was saved by the old sect leader, who also gave him the Li family surname and has been following the old sect leader in his cultivation ever since.
His martial arts cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm.
It can be considered one of the most prestigious establishments within the Li's Escort Agency.
After all, the Li Family Escort Agency is no longer as glorious as it once was.
"Brother Rong."
Lin Zhou also greeted them.
After all, that's his status.
"Hurry up and come in. Master has been waiting for a long time. He said that if the Second Miss arrives, you must go to him immediately."
Li Rong warmly welcomed them through the gate.
After Li Yumei entered the escort agency, the original training ground became somewhat dilapidated, with only a few young people left to hone their physical skills.
Weeds even grew in the corner of the wall.
The person who taught those young martial artists martial arts was a young woman dressed in a red outfit. She had a slender figure and a perfect mastery of internal energy.
While the young men were practicing their martial arts, their eyes would occasionally drift to the woman in red, who was standing in front of them.
His mind was mostly not on practicing martial arts.
"Senior Brother Rong, what happened to the escort agency in this state?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Li Yumei couldn't help but ask a question.
In just a few years, the Li Family Escort Agency has fallen into such a state of decline.
It was something Li Yumei couldn't even imagine.
"Ugh."
"Second Miss is unaware of this."
"Ever since the year before last, our security escort agency has been targeted. A young man opened a security escort agency on our street, and his prices are much lower than ours."
"Moreover, the professor's martial arts apprentices are also more affordable than ours."
"It seems that the other party moved from the lower prefecture city into Fengjing City."
"It is said that there is a close relative in Fengjing City."
"That's why they moved to Fengjing City."
"It was around that time that our Li Family Escort Agency plummeted in value."
Li Rong let out a long sigh and spoke with a hint of helplessness.
"Have you found out who's behind that person?"
Li Yumei frowned and asked.
"It's Chizuru."
"That centurion from the East 19th District."
"The opponent is a master of internal energy from the Black Dragon Army."
"His relationships within the Black Dragon Army were also quite good."
"That's exactly why we at the Li Family Escort Agency have no choice but to accept it."
Li Rong continued.
Li Yumei simply nodded; now, she could only take it one step at a time.
A centurion like Chizuru, with the background of the Black Dragon Army, would be much more difficult for them to deal with.
After passing through the drill ground in the front yard.
Li Yumei and Lin Zhou then went to the old sect leader's room.
Li Rong stayed outside and left.
Although Li Rong's cultivation level is now at the mid-stage of the Core Formation stage, he can earn a living anywhere in Fengjing City. If he were to switch to another escort agency, the treatment would definitely be several times better than that of the Li Family Escort Agency.
However, Li Rong knew the principle of repaying kindness.
They already considered Li's Escort Agency as their own home.
inside the house.
On the bed lay a thin, elderly man with gray hair, his body exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.
"father."
The moment Li Yumei saw Li Chao, her pupils contracted slightly. The lean old man in front of her and the strong man from a few years ago were completely different people.
Not only did he look completely unfamiliar, but it was as if he had aged almost thirty years in an instant, going from being in his forties to becoming a decrepit old man.
His blood and qi were extremely weak, and his breath felt unsteady.
