In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

A few days later, the caravan finally arrived near Jinjing. You can already vaguely see the huge city gate, as well as the bustling carriages and pedestrians in front of the city gate.

After entering the city, Sun Lie still refused to give up and invited Lu Yuan and the two to join his escort agency. Although Lu Yuan did not agree, he said that he could go to his escort agency and stay for two days.

The city of Jinjing is divided into thirteen regions with distinct levels. Except for the northernmost Imperial City District, the other districts are divided according to their degree of wealth.

The more prosperous the place, the larger the area, and there are many deep houses and compounds.

In contrast, the poorer ones have a larger population despite occupying a smaller area. The streets are crowded with houses, as densely packed as cow hair.

The Nine Ring Escort Agency is not large in scale, so it falls into the latter category.

This made Lu Yuan, the two ancestors of the same sect for a long time, frown inwardly.

As a veteran of Jianghu, Sun Lie was naturally aware of this situation. As soon as they arrived at the escort agency, they immediately took the two of them to a separate courtyard inside the escort agency.

The courtyard is very small, with only three or two wing rooms, but it is still quite quiet. And compared to the treatment of the escorts in the escort agency, it is already a world of difference.

Because Sun Lie once said that his wife died early, he usually crowded the Datong Shop with the escorts.

"The west wing of this courtyard is where my daughter lives. I'll ask two young heroes to take care of the east wing." Sun Lie said with a smile on his face.

"Since this is the home of escort master Sun's daughter, it wouldn't be appropriate for two grown men like us to live in it. It would be better to find an inn." Lu Yuan said with a serious face.

"There's nothing wrong with that. You see, my daughter is just like a tomboy. She has nothing to do with the trappings of a female concubine. Moreover, she likes to dance with swords and sticks, and her martial arts skills are unparalleled among the younger generation. It's outstanding. If the two young heroes are free, it would be great if they could give you some advice." Sun Lie said, pulling a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl from behind.

Although this woman has a delicate face, she is dressed in a powerful outfit and looks extremely capable.

"Ying'er, these two young heroes have a life-saving grace with their father. This time I am staying at the escort agency, so you have to take good care of them.

In addition, even though they are not much older than you, they all possess peerless martial arts. Just a few tips will benefit you a lot. "Sun Lie turned around and said meaningfully to the girl.

When the girl heard this, she seemed to know Sun Lie's intention.

However, judging from their appearance when they met, Lu and Yuan were a little dissatisfied when their father complimented them so much at such young ages.

"But please give me some advice!" After the girl said that, she actually took Sun Lie's golden-backed nine-ring sword and showed Lu Yuan and Lu Yuan a set of sword skills on the spot. She had a heroic appearance that was not inferior to that of a woman.

While Lu Yuan and the two couldn't laugh or cry, they were also really shocked by this girl's free and easy attitude.

However, after seeing the rebellious look on the girl's face, Lu Yuan became interested and immediately demonstrated a set of Li Feiyu's wind and thunder sword skills from the past.

Suddenly, the whole courtyard was filled with fierce wind and thunder.

As a result, not only Sun Lie's face was filled with shock, but many of the escorts who heard the sound and came to the door of the other courtyard also let out bursts of exclamation.

Next, Lu Yuan took advantage of the situation and pointed out the shortcomings of the girl's sword skills. The dissatisfaction in the girl's eyes turned into admiration.

When Sun Lie on the side saw this, the smile in his eyes became even stronger.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you? A great monk is arguing with a secular girl. Can't you see that if this continues, Mr. Sun may really feel that there is no hope of becoming your father-in-law?" Brother Tiezi said quietly.

"What do you know? I'm just trying to scare them. It will come in handy later. Besides, I think what Master Sun is thinking about right now is not being my father-in-law, but sighing that he is just a daughter."

The fact is indeed as Lu Yuan expected. While Sun Lie is secretly happy in his heart, he does regret why he did not continue their relationship and give birth to another daughter.

In the following time, Sun Lie chased away the escorts who were watching the excitement and prepared to get out of the way.

Lu Yuan naturally knew what this guy meant, so he stopped him with a smile, whispered something, and handed him something.

Sun Lie was a little confused about this, but he quickly ordered his men to do it.

Early the next morning, Sun Lie found Lu Yuan.

"Young Master Lu, I sent someone to that restaurant and delivered the things. They replied that the person you are looking for is not here and asked to wait."

"Not there?" A hint of gloom rose in Lu Yuan's heart, but it didn't show on his face, and then he let Sun Lie leave.

Such an abnormal behavior could not help but make Sun Lie suspicious, because the place Lu Yuan ordered was the most prosperous place in Jinjing. If these two people were really going to visit old friends, there would be no need to be so mysterious.

"Is it possible? They are here to seek revenge!" Such an idea suddenly came to Sun Lie's mind. If this was true, the consequences involved would definitely not be something that his little escort agency could bear.

After thinking about it again and again, he became more and more convinced that he was right. While secretly complaining in his heart, he quickly called his daughter out to give her a good warning, and told everyone in the escort agency not to go to the small courtyard again.

......

"Do you think Mr. Song Da is related to those people who want to deal with us?" Brother Tiezi asked Lu Yuan.

As early as when they came to the Jinjing territory, Lu Yuan and the two received Han Li's Wanli Talisman message. I learned that the Jinghuo Sect was going to unite with one of the four major casual cultivators to deal with them.

For this reason, after they arrived in Jinjing, they did not go directly to the meeting place agreed with Mr. Song Da.

“Although Taiyang Sect and Jinghuo Sect belong to Buddhism and Confucianism, they are both part of the righteous path of the Jin Dynasty and must be guarded against.

But if you leave here, you will miss the subsequent auctions. Let's wait and see what happens. Regardless of whether it's related or not, Mr. Song Da will take the initiative to contact us sooner or later. Lu Yuan said, deciding to wait a little longer.

He is not worried that the other party will bring people to knock on the door, because there are many mortals in Jinjing, and if he really wants to do something here, it will definitely affect countless people. Even the ten major sects of the Jin Dynasty cannot bear the consequences.

In this way, the two of them stayed at the Nine Ring Escort Agency for more than half a month.

Similarly, Sun Lie was also on tenterhooks for more than half a month. Even when someone came to ask him to be a bodyguard, he declined.

"If this continues, I'm afraid all the regular patrons that the Escort Bureau has worked so hard to save will be snatched away by others..." On this day, Sun Lie was sighing in the front hall, and suddenly his subordinates came to report that there was someone outside the door asking to see him.

Before he could ask clearly, he heard a noise in front of the door, accompanied by angry shouts. Several strong men broke into the courtyard directly, and the more than ten escorts in the Nine Rings Escort Bureau could not stop them.

Sun Lie was angry at first when he saw this, but soon his face turned pale.

Because he found that the people who came were all masters with superb internal skills, and each one was several times stronger than him.

Just as he was desperately trying to remember how he provoked these people, these people all lined up on both sides respectfully, as if they were welcoming someone.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. A middle-aged man who looked like a Confucian scholar walked in with square steps, followed by a shopkeeper dressed as an entourage.

"Master Sun, right?" the middle-aged man asked in a gentle tone. Compared with his tiger and wolf subordinates, he had no airs.

When Sun Lie heard the questioning, he also felt like a spring breeze, and the fright he had received before was instantly gone.

After regaining his composure, he quickly responded with cupped fists.

"Have two young men temporarily stayed at your place recently?"

"Ah?" After hearing this, Sun Lie, who had already calmed down, was shocked again.

Did what he worried about most come true? Was it really the trouble caused by two young people?

He originally wanted to answer honestly, but after all, Lu Yuan had saved his life. Seeing that these people were not evil, he hesitated for a moment.

Just when Sun Lie didn't know how to answer, his daughter Sun Ying suddenly ran over from the backyard.

"You two gentlemen, please come in and have a chat."

"Okay." The middle-aged man responded with a smile and walked inside.

"The two gentlemen also said that sir, you would ask us to send a escort." Sun Ying's voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present.

"Oh, Shopkeeper Wu, please make arrangements." The middle-aged man smiled after hearing this and disappeared into the back hall.

"Sending escorts? Aren't these people the enemies of Lu Shaoxia and the others?" Just when Sun Lie was secretly wondering

Shopkeeper Wu, who came with the middle-aged man, spoke up: "All of you in the escort agency, set off immediately!"

"May I ask where the escorts are and where they are sent?" Sun Lie asked subconsciously.

"Guards are yourselves. Wherever you go, leave Jinjing and go as far as possible." Shopkeeper Wu said with a smile.

"This... Okay, please let us clean it up." Sun Lie looked bitter, but he still didn't understand the meaning.

"No need, there are five thousand taels of gold here, which is enough for you to open ten more escort agencies." Shopkeeper Wu took out a thick stack of silver notes from his arms and handed them to Sun Lie.

"Too much, too much." Sun Lie waved his hands quickly. He knew very well that too much money would lead to disaster.

"Take it here." Shopkeeper Wu couldn't help but stuff the banknote into Sun Lie's arms, and then turned around.

He said to both the subordinates in the courtyard and Sun Lie: "You guys will set off with Master Sun later and come back after escorting them to settle down."

Sun Lie sighed after hearing this, and looked around his own escort agency that had been in business for more than 20 years with a bit of reluctance. Then the escorts, including their daughter, bowed to the backyard with fists in their hands and left.
