Confused Escort Confused Account

When Yuan's convoy returned to Dunhuang, it happened to catch up with the first snow.The fine snowflakes fell on the ground like cotton wool, like a layer of snow-white veil, and the familiar streets and alleys were covered under the veil, as if they had changed their appearance.

Zhao Shitu opened the curtain of the car, and saw that the hot air from his exhalation condensed into hoarfrost, and quickly returned to the hood.

The cold wind penetrated into his neck from the gap in the car curtain, making him shiver involuntarily.He shrugged his shoulders, hugged his arms on his chest, and said with emotion: "It's so cold, so cold, I didn't expect winter to come so quickly."

Hearing what he said, the driver of the carriage immediately twitched his horsewhip and raised his voice: "Boss Zhao said it was cold, did you hear that?"

"Here we come." A voice came from far to near, and a pair of hands reached in from the gap in the car curtain, holding a woolen blanket respectfully in their hands.

Zhao Shitu froze in place, not knowing whether to answer: "I'm just talking casually, you friends don't have to be so polite."

The voice immediately said: "Where is it, early winter is easy to catch wind and cold, we are used to running outside, and we always keep warm clothes in the car, so the escort does not need to be polite to us."

Zhao Shitu had no choice but to take the square tofu block, and looked around dumbfoundedly. Mingyuezhu had already put on a cloak, with a pair of slender legs exposed, Yan Wuhua and Luo Huan were also wearing close-fitting thick robes. Just the right amount of warmth.He curled his lips, shook off the woolen blanket, covered Shangguan Qing's body, and warned, "Be careful not to catch the wind and cold."

Shangguan Qing's face turned green again.

Intoxicated with the satisfaction of helping others and caring for his subordinates, Zhao Shitu leaned back in his chair and calculated the remaining itinerary following the rhythm of the swaying hood.

The rut turned a corner, leaving two long, winding tracks in the snow,

As for why he wasn't here to drive the car this time, we have to start from a few days ago.On the second day of the painting boat banquet, the team sent by the Yuan Mansion arrived at the door.The motorcade lined up in a long line and drove through the market with great momentum, causing residents on both sides to go out to watch.

Everyone thought there was a distinguished guest somewhere, but they didn't expect that the convoy came here specially to welcome the escort.

In the next few days, Zhao Shitu did enjoy the courtesy of VIPs. He rode in the most comfortable car during the day and stayed in the most spacious inn at night.At first, he was not used to it, so he tried to refuse several times, but later he found that all the bodyguards in Yuan's mansion were firm, and they recognized him as the honored guest.He didn't care about it anymore, and left everything to the other party.

Anyway, he didn't lose his self-knowledge, he knew that he was honored by the Kunwu sword to receive this courtesy, and after the assignment, he was still the poor head of an escort.

This idea completely fell apart after he returned home.

Someone lifted the curtain of the car for him respectfully and made a gesture of please.He jumped out of the car and stared dumbfounded at the yard in front of him.

The familiar courtyard has completely changed, the dilapidated walls have been repaired, the mottled stains have been covered by brand new powder paint, the weeds and rocks have been replaced by neat fences, and the rusty iron rings on the two rich gates It was also replaced with a new one, and the lion painted in copper paint is shining brightly.

But these are nothing compared to the things placed at the gate of the courtyard, a brand new dart car with red wheels and gold hubs, a goshawk carved on the front of the car cover, and a fiery red dart flag floating on the head of the dart, waving in the wind.

The other members of the Escort also jumped out of the car one after another. Seeing the grand occasion in front of them, they were speechless, and Luo Huan even blew a loud whistle.

Before Zhao Shitu had time to ask a question, an eager figure came up to meet him, and said with a smile on his face: "Boss Zhao has worked hard all the way, we have been waiting here for a long time."

Zhao Shitu turned around and saw the dangling gold chain around the other party's neck at a glance. The person who came was Mr. Jia, the manager of the Yuan Mansion, and said politely: "Where is it? Thanks to the care of the brothers in the Yuan Mansion. Thank you for your long wait. .”

This is true. Among all his dart walking experiences so far, none of them can compare with this journey home.

He looked at his courtyard in disbelief, and asked, "Mr. Jia, what's going on?"

Mr. Jia said, "Oh? It's not that the end of the year is approaching. I walked around and saw that the courtyard was a bit dilapidated, so I took care of it on my own. It's just a little effort."

"What about the escort car?"

"This is a new batch of wooden carts bought by the bodyguard club. When I checked it, I found that there was an extra one. I simply pulled it over and gave it to the bodyguard Zhao. I hope the bodyguard will not dislike it."

Zhao Shitu looked at Mr. Jia suspiciously. Although he was poor, he was not ignorant of goods. The escort cart in front of him was worth at least a few hundred taels of silver. It was given to him for no reason.

Before he had time to ask questions, Director Jia handed over another account book: "Here is the list of escorts after the spring of next year. There are a few of them that I want to recommend to the Escort Bureau to pick up. I also ask Zhao Escort to have a look. If you are interested, Just ask me to coordinate."

Zhao Shitu took a rough look and found that all the escort orders uploaded in the ledger are well-paid and stable profits without loss. The escort bureaus in the city have been overwhelmed every year in order to grab these businesses.

After Mr. Jia finished his explanation, he folded his hands in front of his face, leaned forward and said, "Since the convoy has returned safely, we won't bother you, everyone, have a good rest."

A group of people also followed Mr. Jia, and the Escort Bureau finally returned to its former tranquility.Zhao Shitu returned to the yard in a daze.Yan Wuhua was standing in the courtyard waiting for him: "Congratulations to Captain Zhao."

Zhao Shitu went forward to meet him: "I used to think that pies would never fall from the sky, but now it seems that the pies will not only fall, but also fall into my mouth impartially. Brother Yan, you are really the noble person I was destined for." ah."

Yan Wuhua listened to his words, smiled slightly and said: "Since it's my father's kind intention, it doesn't matter if Chief Zhao accepts it at ease."

Zhao Shitu said: "The intention is good, but I can't let go of my heart. I have a few questions that I have to talk about."

Yan Wuhua said: "Oh? But it doesn't matter."

Zhao Shitu said: "First, I have already given the Kunwu sword to you, brother Yan. The sword will not grow two legs, and no matter where I go, it will not run away. Second, even if the sword is priceless, After all, it’s just a sword, even if it’s worth a thousand and twenty thousand taels, there’s a limit.”

Yan Wuhua nodded and said: "Of course these principles are correct."

Zhao Shitu shrugged his shoulders: "So whether it's me or the sword, it's not worth the Yuan's fuss. Your father must have other intentions for such an arrangement."

Yan Wuhua showed a smile: "Boss Zhao really understands."

Zhao Shitu said: "Because I still remember that before the departure, brother Yan once said that behind the Kunwu sword and the golden thread clothes, there is a big secret involved."

Yan Wuhua said: "That's right, I'm also going to ask about this secret. Security guard Zhao, don't be impatient, and I will tell you in detail when I return."

Zhao Shitu asked back: "Brother Yan, can you trust me?"

Yan Wuhua was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Boss Zhao has helped me so many times, of course I can trust it."

Zhao Shitu replied with a smile: "Okay, then I will wait for the good news."

After Yan Wuhua left, the courtyard became a bit deserted again.

Lonely is in line with the original appearance, but Zhao Shitu couldn't bear it anymore.He couldn't wait to know what kind of secret Yan Wuhua would bring back.He faintly felt that this secret was more important than the brand-new escort car and the red book that everyone coveted, so his thoughts couldn't stop flying over.

With his head down, he strolled in the snow-covered yard, almost colliding with the bright moon bead.

He took a step back and said with a smile: "It seems that I am not the only one who is thinking."

Ming Yuezhu was standing under the corner of the wall, looking up at the branches of the jujube tree in a daze.The weather is getting colder, the leaves on the trees have long since fallen, and the gray-brown branches are also covered with a layer of white snow.

She stared blankly for a while, finally looked back, and sighed softly: "I'm thinking about where Ah Chen is going."

Zhao Shitu said: "I understand, it's just that this matter can't be resolved in a short time. If the Yashamen really doesn't give up, we will definitely have a chance to meet your sister. Besides, aren't you very good at inquiring about news? You might as well be calm and don't worry about it. Wait a minute."

Mingyuezhu kept staring at him, and when he finished speaking, she finally showed a smile and teased, "Boss Zhao, I already understood these truths, you really don't know how to comfort people."

Zhao Shitu was stunned for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "Who made me incomprehensible by nature, and was rejected by others everywhere. Well, I can only say that a sad look really doesn't suit you."

Ming Yuezhu said: "Don't tell me your sweet talk, I have already seen Shangguan go back to his room to rest, his complexion seems not very good."

Zhao Shitu frowned, and said in thought: "He really has some condition..." After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, and said in surprise, "But Ah Zhu, you...how did you find out..."

Ming Yuezhu smiled and said: "You may be able to hide it from other people, but if you want to hide it from me, you still have a lot of skill. By the way, last time you asked me about it, I really got some clues..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the gate of the Escort Bureau was pushed open.

The visitor looked panic-stricken, ignored the trembling soles of his feet, ran all the way with his solid body, and stopped in front of the two of them panting heavily.

Zhao Shitu was surprised and said, "Boss Jia, why are you so flustered?"

Manager Jia gasped and said, "The Yuan Mansion...something happened, Mr. Yuan...he...was killed..."
