Alternative Jianghu Adventures

Early the next morning, Xia Yun got up from the bed and ran to Yuelai Inn to "invite" Qiao Anyue out of the guest room.

When Xia Yun arrived at the door of the Tianzifang, Qiao Anyue was still in a deep sleep. Xia Yun didn't hesitate, kicked the door open and urged: "Get up quickly, I don't care about you if you miss the schedule!"

Yes, Xia Yun did this on purpose in front of Qiao Anyue.

Last night, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. After thinking about it, she felt that she must treat this "miss disease" severely before departure, otherwise she would suffer better along the way.

Bad habits must be killed at the source.

The first step is to make Qiao Anyue realize that she, Xia Yun, is a bodyguard and a bodyguard, not a maid she calls around in the mansion in the capital!

However, Qiao Anyue cleaned up uncharacteristically without saying a word, and put the package in Xia Yun's hand.

After eating the soy milk noodle cake that Xia Yun brought over and throwing on the table, after giving a comment of "it tastes good", he solved the breakfast in an extremely elegant posture like a storm.

Xia Yun was dumbfounded.

What about cleanliness?What about picky eaters?What about the one who has a good temper and a savage tone? !

This is Goubuli's steamed stuffed bun being eaten by a dog! ?

Or is it that the bed board of the Yuelai Inn has the effect of bringing the dead back to life? !

"Let's go, why are you standing there?"

Qiao Anyue had already eaten everything, and she gave Xia Yun a disgusted look, "Otherwise, why do you think I was able to come here from the capital? I still know how to write the four words of judging the situation. ,Is there a problem?"

"No, no." Seeing the familiar look of disgust, Xia Yun finally confirmed that this was Miss Qiao.

"Why don't you take the package quickly?"

Miss Qiao began to turn against the client... No, she was originally the client...

"Oh, good..." Xia Yun responded subconsciously, followed, and took two steps before realizing——

Eh?Didn't you agree to give Qiao someone a big blow early in the morning?Why do I feel like I fell down all of a sudden...

Thinking of this, Xia Yun became even more depressed.

In this way, the two walked to the door of the Shunfeng Escort Bureau step by step. At this time, Escort Ding was already standing in front of the Escort Bureau, waiting for Xia Yun and Qiao Anyue.

"Here you come? Let's go into the house." Ding Biaotou was still reluctant to face Miss Qiao in person, so he just nodded calmly and motioned for the two to go in.

Going north from the living room, there is an octagonal door with a moso bamboo wall. Push the door and enter, and there is an open hall.

There are two portraits hanging on the left and right.

According to the practice of the Escort business, on the left is the portrait of Bodhidharma, and on the right is Yue Wumu.

Both statues offer cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and chickens, and there is an incense burner in front of which emits fragrance.

On the front is a wooden frame about two feet wide and a little over one and a half feet high, covered with a piece of bright yellow cloth.

Head Escort Ding was followed by several Escort heads in charge of this trip. He stepped forward, lit a three-inch incense candle, faced each other solemnly, held the incense and bowed three times, inserted the incense candle into the candlestick, and then knelt down to solemnly He clapped his head three times.

When Escort Ding bowed, the several Escorts who followed quickly followed suit.

"Please escort the flag!"

Escort Ding stood up, straightened his clothes, and gave instructions to a reliable Escort on the left.

Then the head of the escort hurriedly took off the bright yellow cloth on the wooden frame, revealing the five dart flags of Shunfeng Escort Agency rolled up on the wooden frame inside.

The dart head went forward to ask for a dart flag, and handed it to Ding dart head.

Ding Biaotou forcefully tore off the yellow cloth covering the dart flag, waved his hand, and the dart flag suddenly unfolded in the air!

The brand-new Chuanbu red flag, with blue and yellow flame patterns, has a huge "D" character in the middle, and the four characters "Shunfeng Escort Bureau" are written vertically in cursive script on the side.The flagpole is pitch-black, with gold lacquer on the top, and the end is exquisite and extraordinary!

"Yue Pingsheng! This time you will be the deputy head of the escort, and this escort flag will be handed over to you. Remember, the flag is there, and the flag is dead, you hear that?"

Following Ding Biaotou's words, an upright man in the middle of his thirties on the left took a step forward—it was Ding Fan's first disciple—and took the dart flag with his head down. , said in a deep voice, "I will live up to my mission!"

Ding Biaotou nodded, turned around and looked around at the other escorts and buddies who were following casually this time, and said loudly, "The southern border line is not unusual, and the roads are extremely difficult and dangerous. According to the past practice, I will be responsible for the escort. No exception."

He picked up a bowl of rice wine on the desk next to him, poured it into his mouth, "I hope the journey will be smooth, return the escort flag, and stay safe!"

After finishing speaking, he threw the pottery bowl in his hand to the ground, and the bowl immediately fell apart!

The others also followed Ding Biaotou's example, and shouted in unison, "I hope the journey will be smooth, return the escort flag, and keep safe!"

As one of them, Xia Yun also drank the yellow soup in his throat in one gulp, and threw himself on the ground with indescribable freedom and ease in his gestures!

This is one of her favorite places in the Escort!

Before every dart, a ceremony like this will be held.

The ceremony was held, as if life had a sustenance, and walking on the road seemed to be a bit more confident!It seemed that there was really some Daluo god blessing in the sky, which seemed to make people feel inexplicably at ease.

...is nothing more than self-deception.

Qiao Anyue watched the crowd from the sidelines, and suddenly this idea came to her mind.

However, this idea finally turned into a curiosity between the eyebrows as an ignorant young lady who explored towards everyone.

Soon, led by Ding Biaotou, in addition to Ding Fan and Yue Pingsheng, there were two bodyguards and two troopers.This is a guy who works as a follower for the dart master, and is mainly responsible for calling the darts to open the way when walking the darts.

Then there are 24 ordinary guys, in Tsing Yi bodyguard clothes, thin-soled fast boots, with knives at their sides, and walking with guns.

They lined up in two long queues on the left and right, guarding a single row of forty mules carrying darts and silver in the middle, followed by a car carrying simple luggage and groceries.

Xia Yun's status is quite special. Although she is just a job in name, her skill is obviously not inferior to that of an old escort who has been dart for decades.

It's just that the time to join the Shunfeng Bodyguard Bureau is too short, and any industry pays attention to a seniority ranking - even if she is good at kung fu, it is unreasonable to be awarded the status of bodyguard master in a month.

According to Ding Biaotou's intention, Xia Yun will be promoted after half a year's work.

But this trip was a little bit special.

Because of Qiao Anyue, Xia Yunde's task was to take care of Qiao Anyue alone.The two shared a carriage separately, Qiao Anyue sat in it, and Xia Yun held a whip in front, which was considered to be both bodyguard and coachman.

"Don't take this dart trip as a single dart order," Biaotou Ding specially called Xia Yun to him before leaving, and urged,

"The darts and other people have to be separated on this trip, so you don't care about the darts, just focus on protecting the meat darts, do you hear me? In case something happens, we won't have to worry about taking care of that Miss Qiao."

Xia Yun nodded, showing that he understood.

Just like that, Qu Zi held the dart flag in his hands, got on the horse first, and the people behind immediately followed.The tripper in front suddenly yelled a dart, and the sound was heard more than half a mile away.

The dart set off in a hurry.

The 42 counties of Kyushu sound good, but after years of wars, the actual area has been shrunk a lot since it was first established.

Qingzhou City can be regarded as the relatively southern boundary among the 42 counties.

Going further south, there is a wilderness.Although this place is sparsely populated, there are occasional caravans passing by. It is said that it used to be a rich place, but since the severe drought 50 years ago, the land has dried up, and the households have gradually moved away, and it has become a wasteland.

Even so, the place name of the three characters Lvzhuling can still give a glimpse of the prosperity of that year.

After passing the Green Bamboo Ridge, it is a zone of no-things, and this place is a land of thousands of mountains and valleys, deep mountains and dense forests.Ordinary Han people often get lost among the mountains when they enter this place. Many descendants can see bones that starved to death in the mountains when they climbed over this layer of natural mountains.

Therefore, the mountains straddling the Central Plains and southern Xinjiang are also called the Valley of the Dead.

After crossing the Valley of the Dead, the terrain is not much flatter.But at any rate, there are people living there, and this is the southern border area.

But there are so many passers-by every year, and countless people are lost in the valley of the dead, even a veteran like Ding Fan is cautious.

Therefore, Miaojiang is still shrouded in an extremely mysterious veil in the hearts of most people.

The bodyguard team left the city gate very quickly. At the beginning, the guys on the road were still talking and laughing energetically, but after a while, each of them lost their excitement and hurried on their way with their heads depressed.

When I came back to my senses, the sun had already set.

"It seems that even the Laifu Inn is not staying here anymore." Ding Biao was at the front, riding a big black horse, looking at the withered town, feeling emotional.

Pointing to a place based on the impression, "I remember that there was an inn here the year before last, but now there is no signboard."

"I can't help it, the world is not peaceful!" Yue Pingsheng, who was slightly staggered from Biaotou Ding, comforted,

"I don't think it's too late. Although this town is in decline, there are still some dilapidated houses that can temporarily shelter from the wind and rain. Let's rest here tonight."

Biaotou Ding nodded his head in agreement.

Bodyguard Yue immediately turned around and ordered everyone to stop, began to unload the bodyguards, and got ready to rest.

Xia Yun was holding a whip in his right hand, his legs were crossed on the shaft of the car, he was wearing a straw Malanpo hat on his head, and he was holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.

Hearing this, he immediately jumped up from the front of the car, jumped to the ground, stretched his muscles and bones, and cursed in his mouth, "Hey, it's a rest, curling up in a ball all the way really suffocated me!"

"Come on, you still have a car to sit in, so don't take advantage of it and act like a good boy!" The guy next to him feigned anger.

"I want you to try before riding in the car one day? Let's see how long you can hold on!" Xia Yun made a grimace, stretched himself, moved to the front of the carriage and lifted the door curtain, and shouted patiently,

"Miss, the resting place is here, do you want me to help you down or come down by yourself?"

Qiao Anyue shook her head unconsciously, and jumped off the sedan chair.

"Hey!" Xia Yun whistled, seemingly inadvertently sneering, "It's quite free and easy! Look at it... have you practiced?"

"The family hired a martial artist, and learned two self-defense techniques."

Qiao Anyue explained, looking around at the ruins, she frowned, "Are you going to live here tonight?"

"Miss, if you want to live on the trail, I won't stop you." Xia Yun folded his arms and smiled.

Qiao Anyue: "...I'm hungry."

Some guys who had already unloaded the dart silver began to take out the easy-to-carry bread from their bags and gnawed on it.

Before Xia Yun took out the dry food that he brought with him, Qiao Anyue said critically: "If you dare to give me that kind of pig food?"

"Miss, just tell me what you want to eat." Xia Yun rolled his eyes, but put the hard mixed vegetable cake back in his hand, "The premise is that I can get it."

Qiao Anyue looked around, and her eyes fell on the thorny bushes outside the deserted town. With confidence in her heart, the corner of her mouth twitched, "Why don't you help me hunt two pheasants and come back?"
