Under One Person: Brother Zuo, I have reached the Nascent Soul stage

Chapter 9: Downhill and Juggling

The fifteen-year-old Jiang Liu's every move was different from before. It was full of sharpness, like a sword drawn from its sheath, attracting a lot of attention.

"Master Zuo, who is this?"

Boss Li was stunned, looking at the tall Jiang Liu, he couldn't help but wonder.

Because Jiang Liu never went down the mountain over the years, the two had never met.

"Junior Brother Ruoshui, listen to what Boss Li says."

Zuo Rutong shook his head and spoke softly.

"Boss Li, don't mind. This is my junior fellow apprentice, Jiang Ruoshui."

Jiang Liu grinned, picked up the fruit on the table, took a bite, and looked at Boss Li with interest.

On the way here, he had already learned from Shuiyun the identity of this man, who was the current major financial backer of the Trinity Sect.

In other words, most of Sanymen’s food, clothing and daily expenses are now supported by Boss Li.

In fact, this is also true for many sects in the martial arts world. As practitioners, they naturally do not have the time to care about worldly affairs, but the essence of life has not changed, and they cannot leave the worldly world.

In this case, we need the support of some wealthy people or financiers behind the scenes.

As for the sect, when these financial sponsors encounter troubles, they will take action to solve them.

"If the water fairy."

Boss Li bowed politely and then looked at Zuo Rutong.

"Master Zuo, if it weren't for the unavoidable circumstances, I would never want to come and disturb the immortals."

With a look of helplessness and anger on his face, Boss Li took a breath and said.

"As you know, I usually run some small business, and I often need to escort goods to other places."

Having said that, he looked up at Zuo Rutong.

"continue."

The latter said lightly.

"It's pretty normal on weekdays, but in recent years, the situation has been turbulent, there have been uprisings everywhere, and there have been foreigners causing chaos. It's really not peaceful."

"Especially here, close to the coastal area, there are many bandits and pirates."

"Recently, we had already agreed with the bandits in the mountains and paid the toll, but they kept changing their minds again and again."

"It's already difficult to do business now."

"I also hired some martial arts masters, but they were no match for these bandits. I had no choice but to climb the mountain and ask Sect Master Zuo for help."

Zuo Rutong was sitting there, and after hearing this, how could he not understand what the other party meant.

Jiang Liu had a smile on his face and understood.

"Boss Li wants us to be your bodyguards?"

Hearing this, Boss Li quickly waved his hands, his expression horrified, and said, "Ruishui Immortal, please don't say that. I just prayed for the immortals to have pity, hoping that they could send one or two disciples and extend a little help."

"I, I can pay for it."

Zuo Ruotong waved his hand and said, "Boss Li, you are too polite. You usually help us a lot. Now that we have something to ask for, it is only natural for us to lend a hand."

"Don't ever mention the word reward again."

Upon hearing this, Boss Li's expression softened and he bowed deeply, sincerely admiring Master Zuo's character and personality.

"As for this candidate."

Zuo Rutong paused slightly.

He hesitated slightly, then looked at Shuiyun who was standing at the door.

Disciples can deal with ordinary bandits, and this kind of thing is often done when the disciples are away.

Similarly, the disciples would also rely on this kind of thing to gain some benefits. Otherwise, the food and drink expenses of the huge Sanyi Sect would cost money, and it would be difficult for Boss Li to support it.

Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Liu next to him suddenly stood up.

"Let me go there!"

"I've been up in the mountains for five years, and I still haven't had a good look at the world."

Zuo Ruotong was stunned for a moment, then after a brief thought, he nodded: "Then I'll trouble you to help Boss Li."

"Also, Shuiyun, go call Chengzhen."

Upon hearing this, Shuiyun immediately turned around and left.

"Let Shuiyun and Chengzhen, two juniors, go with you so that we can help each other."

Zuo Rutong looked at Jiang Liu and said with a smile.

"As you wish, Senior Brother."

Jiang Liu naturally understood what this senior brother meant and did not reject his kindness.

Boss Li stood aside, moved his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

He had no right to interrupt the arrangements made by Sect Master Zuo. A moment later, Shuiyun and Chengzhen arrived.

"Junior Master Uncle!" "Hello, Master Uncle!"

The two called out and Jiang Liu nodded.

"Boss Li, let's go!"

Boss Li responded quickly and nodded.

Everyone went down the mountain immediately, and two carriages were already waiting at the mountain gate.

Boss Li led the three people into one car and sat in the one behind. He was very polite throughout the whole process.

"Let's go down the mountain first and rest for a day at home in the city at the foot of the mountain."

Jiang Liu naturally had no objection.

Shuiyun and Chengzhen acted as coachmen. They waved their whips and the carriage started moving immediately.

On the way, Jiang Liu opened the curtains and looked outside.

The mountains of this era are truly just mountains.

Apart from a dirt road that can only accommodate horse-drawn carriages, there is nothing else. Fortunately, the mountain roads in Fujian are relatively flat. If it were Mount Hua in Shaanxi, going up and down the mountain would be a big problem.

"Do bandit robberies happen often?"

Jiang Liu asked out loud.

"Yes, the world is in chaos now, and banditry is everywhere."

"Even some martial arts sects, when their income is insufficient to make ends meet, will take this opportunity to cause chaos in private."

Shuiyun flicked the whip and answered.

"Uncle Junior, it is precisely because of this that Master has restricted the number of times we can leave the mountain gate."

Cheng Zhen sat there silently, with his eyes slightly closed, not saying a word.

"That's it!"

Inside the carriage, Jiang Liu sighed softly.

This is an era with a background that is very similar to that of the previous life.

Today, it is in a period of weakness and is also a chaotic period of change of dynasties.

He knew very well that personal power was like a speck of dust in the face of the times, and he did not have any extra thoughts.

In the age of horse-drawn carriages, speed was naturally slower.

After walking for three hours on the mountain road, they finally entered the city.

The environment in the city is naturally more lively, with various vendors on both sides of the street and rickshaw pullers running on the road.

To Jiang Liu's surprise, he also saw an old car on the street.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

"Uncle Junior Master, there are some tricks ahead."

Shuiyun shouted excitedly.

Although he is physically older than Jiang Liu, he is mentally younger.

Seeing some interesting underworld tricks, he was naturally very excited. Cheng Zhen next to him also opened his eyes and stared ahead.

"A trick?"

Jiang Liu lifted the curtain, sat in the carriage, and looked forward.

I saw a group of people gathered in front, cheering and exclaiming in admiration.

In the center of the open space was an old man, skinny but quite energetic. With a wave of his hands, the ball on the ground floated into the air and shot towards the people around him at a high speed.

But when it was about to hit, it suddenly stopped, causing a cry of surprise.

"Bravo!"

Shuiyun exclaimed.

Cheng Zhen stared at the old man in front of him, slightly tilted his head, and when he noticed the expression on his junior master's face, he was stunned.

"Let's go!"

"It's just a bunch of vaudeville. There's nothing to see."

Jiang Liu said expressionlessly, pulling down the curtain.

In the middle of the crowd, the old man turned his eyes and looked here. When he saw the three people in the carriage, he was stunned.

The carriage slowly drove away. Shuiyun felt reluctant and kept looking back.

But fortunately, the old man closed his stall soon.
