Before Yan Ruoyu could think about it, he saw an unknown object with flaming light flying towards him, Nangong Qin and others. Yan Ruoyu was stunned for a few seconds and immediately realized that the old man was throwing small artillery shells over again. She hurriedly grabbed Nangong Qin and Bodyguard Lu and rushed aside quickly.
When the three of them stood still again, they heard a loud noise, the door of the escort agency shook violently, and the signboard was also crumbling.
After the thick smoke gradually dissipated, Yan Ruoyu glanced at the smug Qian owner, moved his cheeks again, and blew the whistle. The golden eagle that originally soared into the sky appeared again. This time, there was an old woman with fair hair on its back.
As soon as Yan Ruoyu saw the old woman, she ran over happily and shouted: "Master, you are finally here..."
The old woman poked her forehead with her finger and said angrily: "You are an incompetent girl, and you get into trouble again when you come down the mountain..."
Yan Ruoyu was criticized a few times by her master, but she didn't take it seriously and said coquettishly: "Master, this time it's not my disciple who is causing trouble, but that old man who doesn't know what is good and who comes to the escort agency to cause trouble and commit murder... Just now he wanted to use homemade cannonballs Attacking Uncle Nangong and me..."
Upon hearing this, Master Lingyue Cave's eyes suddenly turned ferocious, glaring at Master Qian across from him.
As soon as the owner of the bank came into contact with the sight of Lord Lingyue, he felt a strong sense of oppression and couldn't help but look left and right, avoiding the gaze of Lord Lingyue.
"Master Qianzhuang! Are you trying to make an enemy of this sect?" The cold and majestic voice of Ling Yue Cave Master echoed in the empty night.
The owner of the bank couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, then he winced and said with a stern expression: "I, I have no intention of being an enemy of your sect. It was Nangong Qin of the Weiyuan Escort who instigated his daughter to destroy my villa and hurt my beast first. It is only natural that I seek revenge from the escort agency... You two masters and disciples should not meddle in other people's business!"
"Haha... If I have to take care of it..." Ling Yue Cave Master sneered and said lightly.
The banker's heart tightened, and he glanced at Lingyue Cave Master, Yan Ruoyu, Nangong Qin, and escort master Lu with vigilance, and bravely said provocatively: "Hmph! Don't think that because you have more people, you can threaten me! Yeyou Alliance The leader of the alliance has arrived outside the city. If there is any movement here, there is no guarantee that he will not be alarmed..."
"Hey, old man, don't think that we will let you go if you move out the big devil of Ye You League!" Yan Ruoyu couldn't help but sneer after hearing the plan of the bank owner.
The owner of the bank turned blue with anger and said bitterly: "If you are really not afraid, then come over and have a fight with me!"
Hearing this, Yan Ruoyu stepped forward unceremoniously, blasted out her palms, and struck directly at the vital part of the banker's chest. The owner of the bank lowered his face, cheered up, and used all his strength to slap the oncoming Yan Ruoyu with his palm.
The two of them fought back and forth for more than ten rounds, and Yan Ruoyu gradually began to feel tired. A red cloud appeared on her cheeks, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. Seeing this scene, Nangong Qin was about to step forward to help, but was stopped by the master of Lingyue Cave. She signaled Nangong Qin to wait and see what happened, and then went to help her beloved disciple in person.
When Nangong Qin saw her intention to protect her apprentice with fists, he stepped aside and watched the battle silently with escort Lu, waiting for the right time to take action.
After Ling Yue Cave Master joined the battle, the situation instantly reversed. It was Qian Zhuang Master's turn to be at a disadvantage and could only barely parry, unable to fight back.
Seeing the embarrassed expression on his face, Yan Ruoyu couldn't help but snicker in her heart. With just a sudden move, the bank owner found an opening and took the opportunity to throw another cannonball, taking advantage of the chaos to escape without a trace.
Yan Ruoyu muttered a few words with some self-reproach, and Nangong Qin stepped forward to comfort her, and invited the master of Lingyue Cave to stay in the house for a few days.
The master of Lingyue Cave wanted to refuse and leave, but couldn't resist Yan Ruoyu's insistence, and finally agreed to stay at the Escort Bureau for two or three days before returning to the mountain gate.
That night, Nangong Qin asked the housekeeper to invite a famous doctor in the city to treat Granny Cui, and also hired craftsmen to repair the damaged house. In the next few days, everyone tried their best to help Qin Hannian, Qin Chuan and his son take care of Mrs. Qin's funeral.
During this period, after Yan Ruoyu said goodbye to her master, she and Nangong Yue quietly went outside the city to inquire about the Ye You Alliance. After two or three days of secret visits, the whereabouts of the leader of the Yeyou Alliance were found. The two of them personally went to Linqing Temple outside the city and met with Director Yuan Hua. They learned from his mouth that half a month ago, people from the Ye You League broke into the mountain gate, injured many monks, and took away A golden Buddha in the temple.
When Nangong Qin and others heard the news, they all took it seriously. The people from Yeyou League are making a comeback again, and they will definitely not let the escort agency go. But for the moment, I couldn't figure out what the other party's intention was in stealing the golden Buddha, and I didn't know what conspiracy the other party was brewing. We can only recruit talented people while strengthening the security of the house to prevent the Yeyou Alliance from raiding.
A few days later, Nangong Qin's family felt very worried when they saw that Qin Hannian was still unhappy. The daily business of the escort agency has basically been handed over to Su Qiqi and Nangong Ke. Qin Chuan and Zheng Miao spent most of their time drinking tea, playing chess, and walking with their father.
More than a month has passed in this way, and the Qin and Han Dynasties are still a little decadent. He is much quieter than before and rarely goes out. Many times, when everyone was eating together, he would become distracted while eating. Sometimes he would sigh repeatedly when he accidentally saw the old things used by Mrs. Qin.
Qin Chuan and Zheng Miao didn't know how to persuade their father. They only hoped that time would slowly dilute the pain in his heart.
Nangong Qin has also been silently paying attention to the changes in the Qin and Han Dynasties. He is the best friend who understands him as a brother and sister. When Qin Chuan's biological mother Yao Nianchen passed away, he was very sad for several years before he came out.
Nangong Qin and his wife discussed it and decided to buy a house on the outskirts of the city, and personally accompanied Qin Hannian to the new house to stay for a while, so that the new environment could change his mood and help his friend get back on his feet.
Before Nangong Qin left, he decided to leave the escort agency completely to Su Qiqi. Mrs. Nangong was a little worried. The two argued quietly in the room.
"Sir, although Su'er is a talented and bold person, she still lacks experience in the world of martial arts. You put all the burden on her. What if something goes wrong?" Mrs. Nangong said worriedly.
Nangong Qin looked at Madam's anxious look, put his arm around Madam's shoulders and asked her to sit down on the chair, and then persuaded her kindly: "Madam, we Su'er have grown up and have experienced a few times. Her resourcefulness and courage are far better than when I was young... Besides, there are Chuan'er and Ke'er to help, so you can go to another courtyard with me and let the children go to work..." As he said, he cleared up After a pause, he continued: "Besides, Hannian and I will help each other secretly, and nothing will go wrong..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Nangong turned her worries into joy and ordered the maid to clean up the belongings. Taking advantage of the sunny weather in the past few days, she arranged the other courtyard well. She, Master Qin, and Ning'er would move there in a few days. live.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Nangong Qin and his wife, Qin Hannian, took some maids and servants and moved to another courtyard on the outskirts of the city. Su Qiqi also officially took over the daily operations of the escort agency. She, Qin Chuan, Zheng Miao, Yan Ruoyu and her three brothers worked together tacitly to rectify the affairs of the Escort Bureau and manage the business of the Escort Bureau smoothly.
On this day, Hu Er, the handyman of the escort agency, had just opened the door when he saw a burly man holding an ax and dozing off against the red lacquer door of the escort agency.
Hu Er walked over curiously and asked, "Who are you from? Are you here to apply for a job as an escort?"
The visitor shook his head, handed Hu Er a letter and a seal, and left directly.
Hu Er looked at the man's back and was confused for a moment. After a while, he came to his senses, put the letter and seal in his arms, and ran to report to the housekeeper.
