Longevity begins with Seven Injuries

Chapter 64 Jiannanfu City!

"Everyone, don't panic!"

An escort outside the carriage said, and pulled out the arrow stuck in the ground.

Then, a small cloth pouch was tied to the arrow.

On the cloth bag, the logo of "Huaiyang Bodyguard Bureau" is embroidered.

Looking at the raised outline on the cloth bag, Su Que knew that it contained broken silver.

Then, the bodyguard took out a bow, put the arrow tied in a small cloth bag on it, bent the bow and pulled the string, and let it go suddenly.

Immediately, the arrow with the small cloth pouch shot up to the mountain not far away with a "swoosh", and stuck in a tree on the mountain.

The bodyguard put down his bow and said in a loud voice: "My friends on the mountain have worked hard, and our chief bodyguard sends hello to you, the master!"

After finishing speaking, the bodyguard returned to the convoy.

"What's going on here?" Lu Qixiu poked his head out of the carriage and asked the bodyguard.

The bodyguard said: "This mountain is called 'Guyuan Mountain'. Three months ago, there was a court military officer who committed a crime in the Central Plains. He fled here and became a bandit."

"I heard that the court military officer is a 'Four-Blood Warrior', quite powerful."

"After hearing the news, the Chief Escort took someone to visit this person."

"And suggested that we will pay tolls for any convoy of our Huaiyang Bodyguard Bureau passing by in the future, but please don't rob our bodyguard team of goods and luggage."

"The military officer of the imperial court also asked some of the subordinates recruited here to know the strength of our Huaiyang Escort Bureau."

"Since there is no need to fight and kill, and there is a stable income, he accepts it."

"I see."

After figuring out what was going on, Lu Qixiu's spirits were boosted a lot after the shock just now, and she didn't close her eyes to rest.

Immediately waving the folding fan, bragging and farting with the trippers outside and the two businessmen.

Su Que listened to their conversation silently, and also knew something about the Escort Bureau and the bandits on the road.

Before the Huaiyang Escorts set off, they usually explore the routes they have traveled.

If they knew what copycats and other forces would pass by on the road, the Huaiyang Bodyguard Bureau would first bring money and visit the copycats, asking the copycats not to do anything if they encountered their bodyguard team in the future.

Every year in the future, their Escort Bureau will regularly send money and tributes to these cottages.

Strong cottages will send more money and tributes, while weak cottages will send less money and tributes.

As for the copycat just passed by, the leader is a "Four Blood Warrior", who is comparable in strength to the head of the Huaiyang Escort Bureau, so naturally he cannot be treated like an ordinary copycat.

Therefore, in addition to sending money and tributes every year, every time they pass by this cottage, they will also offer tolls.

After listening to the conversation of these people, Su Que thought to himself.

This is the southern region of the Liang Kingdom. Although it looks chaotic, black, white, officials, bandits, and merchants always maintain a balance.

Of course, there are also people who want to break this balance, that is, the White Lotus Sect and some chaos troops.

After all, the White Lotus Sect and the rebellious army are not like those village masters and bodyguards who are only out for profit. Their purpose is to overthrow Liang Guo.

After passing Guyuan Mountain, nothing happened to this bodyguard team.

After that, although they passed through several mountains, there were also bandits on the mountains.

But these bandits disappeared after seeing the dart flags of the "Huaiyang Escort Bureau" on the dart team.

It seems that the "Huaiyang Bodyguard Bureau" has greeted these cottages before.

In this convoy, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and twelve days passed without knowing it.

One day at dusk, Su Que still closed his eyes, leaning on the carriage, secretly circulating his true energy to expand his meridians.

But gradually, he heard various noises such as horseshoes, footsteps, and conversations coming from a distance.

So, he opened his eyes and looked out of the carriage.

Gradually, he found that there were more pedestrians around him.

Their convoy is merging into other convoys and pedestrians.

'It's almost time to arrive at Jiannan Fucheng. '

Su Que thought.

Jiannanfu City is a prosperous place in this area, and many businessmen and rivers and lakes gather here.

Su Que's convoy moved forward slowly along with other convoys and pedestrians.

After a while, the outline of a city appeared in front of him.

The tall city wall stands tall, exuding a heavy sense of time.

On the city wall, the word "Jiannan" is written.

The afterglow of the setting sun came obliquely, and the city wall cast a long and oblique shadow on the ground.

The city wall nearly ten feet high stands tall. Just looking at the city wall, Yushui City is incomparable.

The gates of the city were guarded by soldiers in full armor.

Soldiers either hold single swords or spears, and the blades shine bright red under the setting sun.

'This armed force is even more inferior to Yushui City. '

'Although living in Fucheng is more difficult than Yushui City, the public security is much better than Yushui City. '

The convoy was caught in the crowd and headed towards the city.

When passing by the gate of the city, the leader of the escort team whispered a few words to the soldiers, and stuffed a small cloth bag for the soldiers.

The soldier nodded and let the convoy go in.

All the way into the city, there are horse-drawn carriages speeding along the wide streets, and the voices of people seem to be buzzing.

The sounds of yelling, hawking, talking, and laughing all mixed together, making it extremely popular.

Although the night has not yet fallen, lanterns and lanterns have already been hung up in some buildings.

As long as the night comes, this place is the scene of the city that never sleeps.

'Worthy of being a prosperous place. '

Su Que secretly sighed in his heart.

There are few people in Yushui City, and the economy is underdeveloped. At night, there are only a few fireworks alleys, and there are also a few streets with gambling halls and food stalls, and there will be commercial activities.

In other places, it was almost pitch black, with only faint lights coming from the windows of each house.

At night in Jiannanfu City, there are not only night market stalls, but also pedestrian parades, which are as lively as daytime.

Looking at the excitement in Fucheng, the expressions of the people in the carriage were also different.

Lu Qixiu's eyes sparkled brightly, and he didn't know if he had thought of where he was going tonight.

And those two businessmen already had ambiguous eyes and laughed at each other.

Bu Shang, who had gray temples, looked away lonely from the bustling Fucheng, and sighed heavily.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and the people from Huaiyang Bodyguard Bureau had arrived at the inn where they were going to stay.

Su Que and others got off the car one after another.

Lu Qixiu's family was well-off, with a lot of money in his pocket, so he brought the book boy to live in a relatively luxurious inn in the prefecture city.

Although Su Que was also rich, but he couldn't see the light, so he chose a relatively ordinary inn to live in.

After putting down the things at the inn, Su Que went downstairs and ordered three dishes of sauced beef, a few dishes, and a few bowls of rice. After eating [-]% full, he left the inn.

In another place, he had another meal, then found a passerby, asked for directions, and walked in one direction.

He learned from Zhang Bengen, the killer of the Tang clan, "Greedy Wolf", that Zhang Bengen bought a small mansion in Jiannanfu City.

Inside are Zhang Bengen's night clothes, hidden weapons of the Tang Sect, and the money he has accumulated over the years.
