Longevity starts with strengthening the internal organs

The next day, Zhao Ya came to the escort agency early as usual, planning to go around and meet the chief escort officer, and then go home to practice if nothing happened.

But today, as soon as he entered the backyard, he heard someone talking in the house.

"Mr. Meng, the fact that our Hong family can offer you this condition is enough to prove our sincerity, so I hope you make a decision as soon as possible. After all, the situation is getting increasingly chaotic and bandits are rampant outside the city. "

"Even if your Changlong Escort Agency is somewhat famous, it's hard to be alone. It's better to join my Hong family's camp directly and gain some hope in this troubled world."

The person speaking was obviously very eloquent, and his conversation was quite seductive.

Zhao Ya, who was standing in the courtyard, felt moved when he heard this.

As one of the three major families in the inner city, the Hong family is very powerful. It used to be the largest customer of the Changlong Escort Agency.

Judging from the meaning of these words now, the Hong family obviously hopes that Changlong Escort Bureau can join their camp.

This matter is related to the future of the entire escort agency, and is closely related to himself, so Zhao Ya listened carefully and wanted to know what the attitude of the chief escort officer was.

After a moment of silence, Meng Lei said.

"Thank you very much, Master Hong, for your kind invitation, but our Changlong Escort Bureau really has no intention of joining any camp. We just want to earn a living by relying on our own abilities, so... please forgive me!"

"Well, since Mr. Meng, the bodyguard, insists on refusing, we won't be in trouble anymore and say goodbye!"

Seeing that the wooing failed, the tone of the speaker became cold and hard, and he stood up to leave.

Zhao Ya walked to the eaves of the corridor to look, and saw three people walking out of the house.

The leader was a middle-aged man, wearing a robe with long sleeves, a goatee under his chin, and dressed like a scribe.

But Zhao Ya noticed that this man had steady steps and bright eyes. He was at least a second-level warrior.

As for the two people following him, their palms were red and their fingers were short and thick. They should be masters of iron sand palm.

Zhao Ya watched the three people go away before turning around and entering the house.

Meng Lei was sitting on a chair drinking tea at this time. When he saw Zhao Ya coming in, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Did you just hear it outside?"

Zhao Ya nodded.

Meng Lei sighed, "Well, over the years, I have relied on my strength as a warrior of the Third Realm to mediate between various forces, just to avoid getting too involved with one party. With this strategy, our Changlong Escort Bureau has been safe and sound. has developed to this point.”

"But I didn't expect that I would be targeted by the Hong family in the end. Although I have rejected him now, the troubled times have begun, and the life of our escort agency will be difficult in the future."

Zhao Ya was silent.

Because he knew that what Meng Lei said was from the bottom of his heart.

In this world where strength is respected, even Meng Lei, who is a warrior of the three realms, is not allowed to be free and has to carefully deal with the forces of all parties in order to find a balance.

This method may have worked well in the past, but today's increasingly chaotic world has broken this fragile balance.

"Will the Hong family just give up?" Zhao Ya asked.

Meng Lei shook his head, "I don't know, but no matter what, they still have to give me the face of a third-level warrior, so I guess they will have to stop for a while after this incident."

Zhao Ya nodded and stood up to say goodbye.

At this moment, Meng Lei suddenly asked: "How is your recent arrival?"

Zhao Ya did not dare to say that he had succeeded in forging the membrane, he only said that he had made some progress, but it was still early for him to be promoted to the third realm.

After listening, Meng Lei sighed slightly.

"Actually, I also expected this to be the case. After all, the supply of Qi and Blood Pills is cut off, and the flesh and blood of the alien beasts are gone. Just relying on the remaining big tonic soup will definitely not be able to meet your cultivation needs. In this kind of situation It’s already great that you can still improve under the circumstances.”

"It's a pity that the situation has deteriorated too quickly. If there is a sufficient supply of Qi and Blood Pills in a year, with your talent, you may really have hope to hit the Third Realm. Once you are promoted successfully, there will be two Third Realm warriors in charge, even if it is the Hong family If you want to use the escort agency, you have to think carefully."

"What a pity..." Meng Lei sighed again.

Zhao Ya also felt a little heavy in his heart.

Even according to his current entry, if everything goes well, he will only be able to hit the three realms once before the year.

I don’t know whether it will be successful or not.

Once the impact fails, it will take at least another month to accumulate energy and blood again.

This is because Zhao Ya has the subtle talent of Shui Gu to be so fast.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have to prepare their energy and blood for at least another year after a failed attack.

Moreover, the success rate of the second impact is far lower than that of the first time, and the success rate after the third impact is even slimmer.

Therefore, cultivators are very cautious about making breakthroughs. Many people often prepare for three to five years before making breakthroughs.

This also shows how powerful the subtle talent of Shui Gu obtained by Zhao Ya is.

After staying for a while, Zhao Ya got up and said goodbye, went to the front yard and chatted with the gangsters before returning home.

The next few days were calm in Wuxiang City, and everything was as usual except that the price of food increased a lot.

Zhao Ya's strength is also growing slowly but surely.

Until this day, the escort agency suddenly received an escort, and it was this escort that caused an uproar in the entire Changlong Escort Agency.

The escort was entrusted by the Hong family to escort a batch of goods outside the city.

This is a normal thing, but the key is that the goods being escorted and the destination are very sensitive.

The cargo to be escorted was a batch of weapons, and the destination was the Forged Iron Villa.

"I think there is something fishy about this escort. No one else knows about us and the Forged Iron Villa. Doesn't the Hong family know about it? And why should we suddenly escort a batch of weapons at this sensitive time?" Lin Sheng said first.

Luo Qiang, who was sitting beside him, also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I heard that there is complete chaos outside the city. The previously unknown Qingzhuling has become a giant bandit, and the official roads are almost abandoned. At this time, when we go out of the city to escort the escorts, they are escorting a group of priceless people. Weapon, this is indeed a bit risky.”

Meng Lei said nothing and listened quietly. He didn't look at Zhao Ya until Lin Sheng and Luo Qiang finished speaking.

"Xiaoya, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhao Ya sighed, "It's obvious that the Hong family is trying to test this matter, so I mean not to accept it."

Zhao Ya directly expressed his inner thoughts.

Meng Lei couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "Why don't I know that this is the Hong family's test? But if we really don't accept it, then the Changlong Escort Agency's brand will be useless, and then the Hong family can be more... They openly forced me to join them."

"But the chief escort..." Lin Sheng was about to speak.

Meng Lei waved his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "I know what you want to say, but now the escort agency has not had a single transaction for several months and has already been unable to make ends meet, so we have to take over this escort. As for what you are worried about ….”

"This time the escort will be escorted by me personally. Although the owner of the Forged Iron Villa is a warrior of the Four Realms, we are the escorts entrusted by others to escort the goods, and we are not here to fight, let alone Wei Yu. It’s also the Forge Iron Villa’s fault first, so it should be fine. As for the bandits along the way…”
