Confused Escort Confused Account

The spring breeze is not moderate, the yellow sand is rolling, and the Gobi is long.Since ancient times, the frontier has always been like this.

In 15 A.D., the No.[-] year of Tang Xianzong Li Chun's reign, the afterglow of Zhenguan's prosperous age has disappeared, and the city of Dunhuang, which was once the pearl of the frontier fortress, has also been clouded by years of continuous war.

In troubled times, thieves are rampant, which also gave birth to the business of bodyguard bureaus. Caravans travel between the Western Regions and the Central Plains. Almost every family business is booming.

Confused Escort is an exception.

The Confused Escort Bureau was originally not called this bad name, but was called the "Guardian Escort Bureau".It's a pity that this escort agency is too poor, with small curtains and few people, somehow, it just can't make money anyway.Once a fortune teller passed by, stopped at the door of the escort agency to ask for water, and took a test, but after the test, he was shocked and said that the name of the escort agency was unlucky and had a bad omen, so it had to be changed.However, the head of the escort agency is a stubborn man, who refused to change his name, and left the fortune teller angrily.

After that time, the Escort Bureau was nicknamed "Confused" by the neighbors, and became a topic of ridicule.

At this moment, the stubborn man was sitting in the main hall, entertaining the hard-won rare guests.

The man's name is Zhao Shitu, and he is in his early 20s. It stands to reason that as the head of the bodyguard bureau and in charge of the overall situation, he should be mature and steady, but this one doesn't have much calm demeanor. He couldn't find the north, and his mouth was wide open.

His attire is really not shabby, a navy-blue patterned cardigan, a golden crown inlaid with onyx, his hair is combed smoothly, and he holds an ebony folding fan in his hand, with majestic landscapes painted on the fan.

It's a pity that the eaves that accommodated him were too shabby, and it definitely didn't match the word "majestic", and he also wore a bit of a market ruffian in his good attire of a Confucian scholar.

The guest looked him up and down, with a bit of disgust in his eyes, Zhao Shitu saw that the other party was silent, he shook the fan in his hand, and urged, "I don't know what Miss Bai wants?"

This Miss Bai is a woman with a slender waist and a delicate and soft face. After hearing what he said, she was startled for a while, then quickly recovered her expression, her red lips parted slightly, and the corners of her eyes smiled, and she said slowly: "Since Escort Zhao is willing to take me on this trip Darling, the little girl is naturally extremely honored. It's just...do you really know the way to Quanshui Village? The village is so remote that even the messengers don't want to run away..."

"Hey, Miss Bai is worrying too much," Zhao Shitu shook the paper fan lightly, and raised two handsome eyebrows: I, Zhao Shitu, live up to my name and know the way of the world. Entrusted, the things were sent to Quanshui Village smoothly. Seeing that the other party was still hesitant, he continued: "Since you have found my door and called me an escort, you should know my reputation in the world." "

Miss Bai is well-informed, but she has never heard of this person's "reputation". Seeing his frivolous appearance, she couldn't help being speechless.

In order to cover up, she immediately covered her face with her sleeves, turned her head away calmly, and looked around the living room for a week.

This is the first time for her to come to the Escort Agency. Although she has heard about it, it is beyond her expectation that the Escort Agency is so shabby.In the main hall, apart from a pair of calligraphy and paintings and a few potted plants, there are no other decorations. The tables and chairs used to welcome guests seem to have been bumped many times, and the paint on the corners has been worn off.

Seeing the frown lines on Miss Bai's brow, Zhao Shitu's mouth twitched, and he squeezed the fan bone in his hand even tighter: "Since Miss Bai sincerely trusts each other, it's not impossible to discuss the remuneration..."

"Okay." Miss Bai finally let go of her brows, picked up the bamboo basket she had been holding in her hand, and put it on the table, "The things in this basket are my grandmother's treasure, she lives in Quanshui Village... Alas, it's a pity that our dance troupe is busy with affairs, and the head of the dance troupe refuses to let me take my family leave, so I have no choice but to come and ask you, Escort Zhao."

Zhao Shitu lowered his eyes and saw that the bamboo basket was exquisite and small, covered with a piece of cloth, so he couldn't tell what was inside.

Miss Bai rolled her eyes: "Anyway, if you deliver it to Quanshui Village smoothly, grandma will definitely be rewarded with a lot of money. Silver is not a problem."

Her tone was pitiful, and her oval-like face was set off even more charming by her sad face. Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, she stroked the corner of her skirt again, and sighed softly, "I only hope that the escort Zhao will help me."

Zhao Shitu finally took his eyes off the basket, looked at her again, and said politely, "Miss Bai, although I don't distrust your promise, the Escort has our own rules when doing business."

Miss Bai frowned again. As a dancer, she was naturally good at making tricks. Normally, few men could refuse her hints, but Zhao Shitu in front of her was so ignorant, which was beyond her. expected.

There was faint remorse in her heart, this escort agency was really not a good place.

But after all, she is a veteran in the business field, and her ability to observe words and demeanor is not inferior to the other party. Since she is here, she doesn't intend to suffer.She brushed up her temple hair, cleared her throat, and said angrily: "Hey, we are both fallen in the world, and we know each other's difficulties best. How could I deceive you, don't you think so?"

"Of course I can trust Miss Bai, but..." Zhao Shitu held back his fan and pointed out through the window: "If my two bodyguards ask, I have to explain, don't you think so?"

Miss Bai cast her eyes out of the window, and found that the outer courtyard was also narrow and cramped. There was a crooked jujube tree planted in the corner, and a man and a woman stood under the tree. There are two bodyguards.

Zhao Shitu rested his fingers on the edge of the table, tapped a few times, and called again: "Miss Bai?"

Seeing that the beauty trick failed, Miss Bai simply put away her extra smile, put on a cold look, and said clearly: "You are afraid that my grandma will refuse to pay when the things are delivered, aren't you?"

Zhao Shitu didn't argue, but met her gaze with a smile: "Don't dare, I just follow the rules of the world."

Miss Bai snorted in her heart, raised her hand and pulled out a gold hairpin from the braided hair behind her head, held it in her hand and said, "I ask for the forgiveness of Chief Zhao, I went out in a hurry and didn't bring a silver ticket with me. The branch hairpin will arrive first as a token, do you think it can be accommodated?"

She raised her hand a little higher, over the table, and raised it to the other's eyes.

Zhao Shitu leaned over to look, and saw that the gold hairpin in her hand was thick and smooth, with a well-proportioned coating, and a lifelike butterfly was engraved on the head of the hairpin. He said happily, "This hairpin is probably more valuable than a silver ticket. Can you really mortgage it to me?"

"How can my little girl not believe in the reputation of Escort Zhao?" The corner of Miss Bai's mouth curled up into a meaningful smile, "It won't be too late to return the gold hairpin to me after you get paid, I'll wait for you in Chaofenglou .”

Zhao Shitu lowered his eyes again, seeing the gold hairpin held in the white jade-like hand, glowing with radiance, his heart burst into laughter.

But he still maintained a straight expression on his face, bowed politely, and said: "In that case, I won't shirk it."

Miss Bai shook out a handkerchief from the bottom of her sleeve, wrapped the gold hairpin in it, got up and walked a few steps closer, and placed it in his palm.

Zhao Shitu put the handkerchief and the gold hairpin into his arms, bowed and saluted, watched Miss Bai take slender steps, and walked out the door calmly.

It wasn't until the sound of Miss Bai's footsteps disappeared that he let out a long breath, turned to the courtyard, and called out loudly: "You two, don't you come to see?"

Hearing Zhao Shitu's call, the men and women in the courtyard sheathed their knives, put down their kettles, and slowly wandered into the house.

Zhao Shitu sighed inwardly when he saw the listless appearance of the two.

In other people's bodyguard bureaus, there are a few well-known and well-known heroes in the Jianghu.And in his bodyguard agency, including himself, there are only three bodyguard masters in total, and they are all unknown juniors, no wonder they are so destitute.

The two entered the main hall one by one, and the woman admiring the flowers spoke first: "You and the beauty have settled?"

Zhao Shitu nodded, seeing the other party's lazy face, he shook his head and said, "Azhu, that girl surnamed Bai is also a member of your tribe, so you didn't come in to say hello."

This woman's name is Mingyuezhu, and she lived in Zengchaofeng Tower many years ago, but now she is wearing a plain skirt and no makeup on her face. I've become a dancer, and besides, there are Sogdians everywhere in the Western Regions, how could I know them?"

Zhao Shitu rolled his eyes: "Oh, anyway, you are reasonable, I can't persuade you, just don't persuade you."

Ming Yuezhu nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "What kind of dart did you catch?"

Zhao Shitu pointed to the basket on the table: "I don't know what is in it, but since the deposit is not trivial, the dart must be a rare treasure."

"Oh?" Ming Yuezhu raised her eyebrows, and just about to ask, the man next to her who had been silent all this time sighed.

Zhao Shitu rolled his eyes again: "Shangguanqing, do you have any opinions?"

The man didn't respond to his provocation, he was neither annoyed nor proud, he just raised his eyelids, slammed into the basket, and said calmly: "You can see for yourself."

Before the words fell, the cloth Gaiwu on the basket moved automatically, a bag bulged upwards, and two gray-brown triangular ears protruded from the gap between the two layers.

"This... is actually a living thing?" Zhao Shitu asked in disbelief.

"It's not only a living thing, but it's still humming and panting." Ming Yuezhu said, pulling off the cloth cover.

Under Zhao Shitu's astonished gaze, a skinny old dog poked its head out of the basket.
