"Our escort leader has agreed? When did he agree?" Fang Lei and Lu Qiang said in unison.
"just now."
"Could it be that you are the leader of our third team?" Fang Lei said in shock.
"You are not stupid. Yes, I am Xiao Wenshan, the escort leader of your third team."
"Hurry up and pack your bags and get ready to go."
…
Five days later, Fang Lei, Lu Qiang, Xiao Wenshan and others finally entered Pingyang City.
During this trip, they met many warriors, all of whom were also heading in this direction.
The number of warriors in Pingyang City far exceeded Fang Lei's imagination.
"Boss, should we find an inn to take a rest?" Lu Qiang asked.
Fang Lei responded: "Qiangzi, have you forgotten the purpose of our coming to Pingyang City? We don't need to find an inn and go directly to the base of Changfeng Escort Bureau."
"Your name is Fang Lei, right? You are so smart. Come with me now!" Xiao Wenshan said with a smile.
After a while, Fang Lei and the others arrived in front of the Changfeng Escort Bureau in Pingyang City.
The first thing Fang Lei saw was a large plaque with the four characters Changfeng Escort written on it.
I walked into the Escort Bureau and took a look around. What I saw was a large martial arts arena. There were many young and strong warriors practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena, having a good time.
"As expected of Changfeng Escort Agency, it's so impressive." Fang Lei sighed in his heart.
"Headguard, what's the mission?" Fang Lei asked casually.
"Boy, I don't think anyone else is in a hurry. Why are you so anxious?"
Fang Lei explained: "Just ask!"
"You should get familiar with Pingyang City first and then talk about it after the mission."
"Oh, it's already evening now. Time flies so fast. I'm already a little hungry. Will you follow me to find a place to eat?"
"Listen to the escort leader." Fang Lei said with a smile.
Some were going and some were not, and soon they came to a restaurant.
"This restaurant has a lot of people coming and going. It has a lively atmosphere. The food here must be delicious." Fang Lei said.
Three guests, please come inside. What a coincidence that you are here. There happens to be an empty seat upstairs. If you come later, you will have to wait. When the waiter saw Fang Lei and the others coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Here we are, sir. This is the table. What food and drinks do you three want to order? Our restaurant has several special dishes. the waiter asked.
Fang Lei and Lu Qiang looked at each other with evil intentions: "A hundred steamed buns and three plates of roasted chicken, that's almost enough."
The waiter was shocked when he heard this, "You've ordered so much, have you finished it?"
"It's not your turn to worry about whether to eat or not." Xiao Wenshan interrupted.
So the waiter immediately went to serve the food.
While waiting for the steamed bun dishes to be served, the three of them started chatting.
However, while Fang Lei was chatting, he also paid close attention to the warriors eating around him.
"Have you heard that Wang Penghai's birthday banquet is really grand? Sects from a thousand miles around came to celebrate his birthday. It's really amazing." One of them sighed.
"It would be worthwhile if we could participate in such a grand event."
Old Liu, it’s impossible for you to attend Wang Penghai’s birthday banquet with your level of cultivation. "
"Hahaha, let's drink and drink, let's not talk about this anymore." These people talked about everything from all over the world.
However, Fang Lei was very interested in this, because these were some interesting anecdotes and rumors in the world.
"Headguard, who is Wang Penghai they are talking about?" Fang Lei asked curiously.
"Wang Penghai is actually the old owner of Guiyuan Villa, and he is very powerful."
Fang Lei and Lu Qiang were shocked when they heard this.
Fang Lei continued to ask: "Which one is better, Changfeng Escort Agency or Guiyuan Villa?"
Xiao Wenshan frowned and responded: "Of course Guiyuan Villa is powerful. After all, it is a first-class sect, and Changfeng Escort Bureau is not among the sects at all."
After hearing this, Fang Lei's face suddenly became gloomy.
Seeing his bad expression, Xiao Wenshan asked, "Why, do you regret joining the Changfeng Escort Agency?"
"You don't know, Head Guard, that Brother Lei and I used to be the handyman disciples of Guiyuan Villa. Later, we had a conflict with the young master of the Villa and were kicked out."
"We will not regret it." Lu Qiang explained.
"So that's it, Fang Lei, you don't have to be afraid, although our Changfeng Escort Agency is not as good as Guiyuan Villa."
"However, Guiyuan Villa does not dare to mess with our Changfeng Escort Bureau."
"What does this mean?" Fang Lei asked doubtfully.
Xiao Wenshan smiled and explained: "Our Changfeng Escort Agency has three hard rules, so Guiyuan Villa does not dare to mess with them."
"Which three are hard?"
"The first hard point: our Changfeng Escort Agency is strong in itself. Even though Guiyuan Villa is a first-class sect, what our Changfeng Escort Agency lacks is the foundation. As long as we have the foundation, we can be 50-50 on par with Guiyuan Villa."
"Second Hard: Good connections. He travels all over the country to protect his bodyguards. He has made friends with many people in the world, including casual cultivators, aristocratic families, city lords, etc."
"The third hardest thing: a strong backer. Changfeng Pavilion, a third-grade sect, is the hardest backer for the Changfeng Escort Agency." Xiao Wenshan said eloquently.
"So that's it!" Fang Lei and Lu Qiang said in unison.
"It is said that Wang Penghai's birthday party is tomorrow. Will you two go?"
"Go, I won't be afraid, and I will gain some experience by the way."
"Okay, I will take you two there tomorrow." Xiao Wenshan replied.
Returning to Changfeng Escort Bureau, Fang Lei began to practice "Pure Yang Kung".
Night belongs to Yin, so "Pure Yang Kung" is suitable for body tempering.
With the operation of "Pure Yang Kung", there are thirty-six times of the Great Zhoutian and seventy-two times of the Small Zhoutian.
Every time it runs, Fang Lei's body becomes stronger.
The night passed like this.
"After a night of practice, I have finally reached the stage of "Pure Yang Kung"." Fang Lei murmured to himself.
…
The streets in Pingyang City are not wide, but the street leading to the Wang family's residence is surprisingly wide, enough to accommodate five horses running abreast.
Although there was an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages coming to pay birthdays today, it did not cause crowding.
Just when Fang Lei thought they had to queue up to wait for this carriage that was as slow as a tortoise, Xiao Wenshan stepped directly into the center of the avenue.
This move instantly attracted everyone's attention, but they did not make any noise or dissatisfaction. Instead, they showed a flattering smile and greeted Xiao Wenshan.
Xiao Wenshan did not respond one by one, but nodded slowly with a smile.
Before Fang Lei and the others arrived at the Wang family's residence, someone came out of the residence to welcome them.
I saw the man shouting loudly: "Brother Xiao is here. It's really brilliant. Hey, these two little brothers are...?"
Fang Lei, Lu Qiang and others smiled and bowed their hands to him.
However, compared to Xiao Wenshan's natural smile, Fang Lei and Lu Qiang's smiles seemed a bit stiff.
It's no wonder, after all, Fang Lei and Lu Qiang are not famous at all, and no one in the world knows them.
"These two are escorts from the Changfeng Escort Agency." Xiao Wenshan responded.
"I still have to greet others. You should enter the mansion first." The man apologized.
The Wang family's residence was unprecedentedly grand today, with an endless stream of birthday guests, as if the entire Pingyang City had gathered here.
The front hall, main hall, and side halls were all very lively. People sat around the dining table and toasted to celebrate this special day.
Suddenly, Fang Lei felt a visceral gaze falling on him.
Fang Lei's heart moved. The owner of this gaze was very powerful. He had sensed such gazes on Xiao Wenshan and the chief escort officer.
But the gaze was obviously not between the two of them. Fang Lei slowly turned his head and saw a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old and glared at him.
He recognized this young man at a glance as Wang Haoxuan, the young owner of Guiyuan Villa.
Fang Lei was a little surprised, "I didn't expect him to be so strong. I'm afraid he has already broken through the Body Tempering Realm and reached the Condensing Gang Realm."
Those who come to the birthday banquet, as long as they are powerful and have status, will sit in the main hall, while the juniors can only sit outside or in the side hall, but the seats are far apart.
Obviously, the Wang family didn't want anything unpleasant to happen at the old man's birthday party.
When all the people attending the birthday banquet arrived, an old man with white beard and hair but a ruddy complexion and a burly figure walked into the main hall surrounded by several young people.
As soon as the old man appeared, everyone stood up. Fang Lei stared at the old man silently, feeling the powerful aura and pressure emanating from him.
"Is this person Wang Penghai? He is actually stronger than Xiao Wenshan and the chief escort." Fang Lei's face instantly became solemn.
Wang Penghai was seen sitting in the first place, and the birthday banquet began.
"Everyone, please sit down. There are not so many etiquettes. I am satisfied that everyone can come to participate in my seventieth birthday." Wang Penghai said.
After everyone sat down.
I saw a businessman asking Wang Penghai: "Mr. Wang, as the old owner of Guiyuan Villa of a first-class sect, why don't you hold a birthday banquet at Guiyuan Villa?"
The merchant's problem puzzled everyone.
Wang Penghai smiled and said: "I am already old and no longer care about Guiyuan Villa. As for Guiyuan Villa, it has been taken care of by my son Wang Leshan."
"So my seventieth birthday was held at my mansion!"
"But, Mr. Wang, Guiyuan Villa was founded by you. Don't you think it's a pity that your seventieth birthday will not be held at Guiyuan Villa?" A gentle-looking man asked doubtfully.
