Jiang Longwei saw that the stab wounds of the two bodyguards Yang and Geng were not very serious and did not damage any important parts. They would recover within a few days and he felt much more relaxed. He sat down, took the tea from his wife Su Zhener and drank it. He drank again and again, as if it was difficult to quench his thirst for a while.
Zhuo Yifei thought about chasing Bai Yutian, so he went over and told Jiang Longwei quickly and in detail everything from entering the Black Tiger Village yesterday with the two heroes of the Ding family to defeating the Wind Chasing Sword Zheng Bin not long ago. , Taoist Master Jingyin, Gu Huai, Taoist Huang Ting, Le Xiaotian, Jiang Shixiong and others listened clearly and understood.
Jiang Longwei drank several cups of tea to quench his thirst, and then said to Taoist Master Jingyin: "Taoist Master, the Dragon Slayer Club, Biluo Lake, and Zhengyi Villa all want to rob this batch of escort silver. The Huizhou magistrate must have been fooled by their rhetoric. Blinded, or held hostage by interests. When Bai Shaoxia went to Huizhou, the younger generation always felt that it would be difficult to persuade the Huizhou officials to change their previous ideas and help us. It was just a two-part help. After all, everything has a preconceived idea. , first come, first served. Otherwise..."
Taoist Master Jingyin smiled slightly and said: "You want to take precautions and recruit troops in advance to increase our strength. Even if the Huizhou government office is unwilling to help us repel the enemy, we will not be short of manpower and be passive."
Taoist Huang Ting answered: "People's hearts are separated from each other. This is a good idea. You should be prepared. Tell us what you think. Let's all think about it together and think about it."
Jiang Longwei said: "When it comes to Black Tiger Village, I want to use eight words: keep upright and surprise, and use power to change."
Gu Huai had read very few books, so he knew what it means to be upright and surprisingly knowledgeable. In order not to be kept in the dark by their conversation, he said bluntly: "Don't come here with those docile people. It's hard to listen. Be more straightforward." "
Jiang Longwei smiled and said: "Ancient, Han Sitong entangled some gangsters and wanted to attack our Longwei Escort Bureau, but it was just because when my father was alive, he did not go to Black Tiger Village to pay homage to the mountain, and did not let him benefit from Black Tiger Village. I owe him the respect of Black Tiger Village. Today I will bring a gift and go to pay homage to the mountain. I will give him the respect of Black Tiger Village and invite his brothers from Black Tiger Village to escort us on this escort trip. I will be willing to stay as a bodyguard in the future. If you are a master, our Longwei Escort Agency will accept them all."
Le Xiaotian interjected: "My dear nephew, go and pay homage to the mountain and give him the face of Black Tiger Village. I agree with this. But I personally don't agree with accepting the bandits from his Black Tiger Village as bodyguards. First, Black Tiger Village has been engaged in road robbery since the establishment of the mountain. Letting real bandits serve as bodyguards will damage the reputation of the escort agency. Secondly, there are so many people in Black Tiger Village. If they all compete to be bodyguards, you are a dragon. The Wei Escort Bureau can't use so many people at the moment."
"Uncle, you also run an escort agency. You don't understand how escorts appear. But with the development of our business in the Song Dynasty, the circulation of property is increasing day by day. In order to allow those flowing merchants, goods, and valuable property to have a Safety guarantee is the reason why the bodyguard industry came into being. The Song Dynasty became more and more prosperous, and the circulation of population and property became more and more frequent. As long as we manage it properly and improve the regulations, the bodyguard industry will only become more and more prosperous. So we need to be afraid We can’t use those dozens of people.”
Jiang Longwei took two sips of tea and continued: "As long as Han Sitong is willing to leave Black Tiger Village and no longer wants to return to the mountain to become a mountain king, there is no need to give the brothers in Black Tiger Village the name of bandits. These Although they have blocked roads and robbed over the years, they have never killed anyone, and their crimes were not punishable by death. If my father had not leveled it long ago, he would not have kept it until now."
Le Xiaotian said: "It is difficult for a person who is used to getting something for nothing to get used to the life of hard work and sweating. There is no saying that once a thief will always be a thief. Besides, who can guarantee that Han Sitong has sincerely changed his ways? You will never enter the mountain again.”
Jiang Longwei said: "To be honest with my uncle, the reason why Han Sitong had a problem with my father was because Heihu Village encountered difficulties and wanted to change his past. He asked my father to accept some of his men to work as bodyguards in the Longwei Escort Bureau. I My father agreed to accept them on only one condition, that is, Han Sitong took all his brothers and left Black Tiger Village and never set foot in Black Tiger Village again in his lifetime. I don’t know why Han Sitong didn’t agree to my father’s conditions. I My father was just too angry to accept those people as bodyguards. Han Sitong thought that my father went back on his word because he looked down on them, and we had a feud from then on."
Taoist Huang Ting interjected: "Xian Nephew, you are saying that Han Sitong had the idea of doing evil and doing good in the past, but for some reasons he was not able to get out of that circle."
Yang Huailing answered from the side: "This seems to have been the case back then."
Gu Huai said: "In that case, let's give them a chance to change their ways today. If they can achieve what they want, they will do a good deed for the people within a hundred miles and seek peace."
Taoist Master Jingyin said: "If you have great supernatural powers, you should help the world; if you have true magic power, you will definitely rejuvenate. As long as Han Sitong is willing to change his evil ways and return to righteousness, I will give him a guarantee today and give him my full support."
Seeing that Jiang Longwei's idea was supported, Zhuo Yifei stood up and said goodbye: "General escort chief, Taoist priest, Gu Gu, then Yan Qing and I will go ahead. You guys eat and drink slowly."
Taoist Master Jingyin replied: "Go ahead and remember to tell that boy Bai Yutian that no matter what method you use, at least the Huizhou government office must remain neutral and cannot help the Qinglongtang group. Otherwise, there will be big trouble in the future."
Gu Huai said: "Jingyin, you are just talking nonsense. Bai Yutian dares to offend even Biluohu easily, and he is afraid of offending a Huizhou government. Besides, Longwei Escort Bureau is escorting official silver, so he is reasonable, so what's the matter? So worried.”
Jiang Longwei said: "Young Master Zhuo, the prefect of Huizhou is an official of the court after all. Don't use force if you can. If you want to completely eliminate the evil organization of the Dragon Slayer Society in the future, you will need the support of the court, and you can't let those with ulterior motives get the hang of it. "
"Farewell!" Zhuo Yifei cupped everyone's hands and led Hu Yanqing towards the front.
Everyone saw Zhuo Yifei and his wife off, the food was served, and a scene of devouring food appeared. The only woman, Su Zhener, had to adapt and join the fast eating and drinking, forgetting the elegance and elegance that women should have. .
Jiang Longwei drank a few glasses of wine with the bodyguards, and said to Taoist Master Jingyin, Gu Huai and others: "Taoist Master, Gu Gu, Head Huang, Bodyguard Chief Le, Uncle Jiang, look at the trip to Black Tiger Village. Who would be more appropriate to accompany me?"
Jingyin drank the wine in his glass, glanced at everyone, and said, "In my opinion, it's better for Headmaster Huang and Headguard Le to accompany you. First, they often walk around the rivers and lakes, and Black Tiger Village invited them Those helpers will know each other more or less; secondly, their homes are not far from here, they are half neighbors, and they have to look at the Buddha's face even if they don't look at the monk's face."
Jiang Longwei asked Taoist Huang Ting and Le Xiaotian: "Two uncles, what do you think?"
Taoist Huang Ting smiled and replied: "Since no one objects, it means they agree. It's rare that we can have some fun and have an arm wrestling match with Jiang Yulang's brother. It's better for us to be respectful than to obey."
Jiang Longwei raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "In that case, let's eat and drink quickly, and quickly go to Black Tiger Village to recruit talents to lend our support. If you are a good person, you will be good for yourself."
Taoist Huang Ting drank a glass of wine with Le Xiaotian, eating and drinking faster, just to have time to tidy up his appearance, so as not to lose his inside when he visited Black Tiger Village.
After the three of them had eaten and drank, they got to the table and started to tidy up their appearance.
Su Zhen'er originally wanted to help Jiang Longwei, but she didn't expect that Jiang Longwei was better at taking care of herself than a woman. She was filled with admiration in her heart, but she was also puzzled.
In fact, there is nothing to be confused about.
Being an escort is a very hard job. In order to deliver the escort as soon as possible, we had to travel day and night, sleep in the open, and face all kinds of dangers. From their senior masters, escorts not only have to learn hard skills such as martial arts, endure hardships and endure hardships, and adapt to various environments, but also learn skills such as "three skills and one difference".
Why three meetings and one failure? The third skill is knowing how to set up a stove, how to repair shoes, and how to take care of yourself. The first skill is not washing your face or washing your face less.
Walking in the barren mountains and ridges, there is no village in front of you and no shop behind you. In order not to go hungry, you can only rely on your own stove to cook.
For most escorts, no matter how far the journey is, it is still a matter of a pair of feet. A pair of well-fitting shoes is more important than a rich man's carriage and horse, and most of these well-fitting shoes are worn out. Although escorts can keep some spare shoes or buy shoes along the way, new shoes may not necessarily fit your feet, so shoe repair is a guarantee of foot comfort.
Traveling for escorts sometimes lasts for months at a time. We always encounter mountains, forests, deserts, and rivers unexpectedly. Traveling long distances, being dusty and miserable, is a common occurrence. If you want to be a good escort and have smooth sailing, you must have good dealings with local forces and handle relationships well. When passing through towns and villages, it is inevitable to pay a visit. As a civilized country, China has always attached great importance to etiquette. When visiting others, you will usually repair yourself first. To win, repairing your hair and beard is naturally extremely important.
Furthermore, during the dart walk, the wind is biting in winter, the wind and sand are blowing against your face in spring and autumn, and the sun is blazing in summer. Not washing your face will actually have a protective effect on your skin. Therefore, in the lingo of escorts, "washing face" and "getting home" are synonymous. If escorts say "it's time to wash your face," it means it's time to get home.
Jiang Longwei, Taoist Huang Ting, and Le Xiaotian tidied themselves up, brought gifts, said goodbye to everyone, got on horseback, and galloped towards Black Tiger Village, throwing incense from their horse hooves, just because they had a heart in their hearts. Good wishes.
