Chapter 48: Come and lend a hand
Chen Luo drove the donkey cart and arrived at the door of a escort agency. Tiger Escort Agency! The entrance was very grand and was still bustling even at night. Merchants coming and going were constantly delivering goods inside, and large boxes more than two meters wide filled the entire yard.
The escort agency was opened by Ma Quezi's senior brother. Ma Quezi had told him about his senior brother as early as when he was learning boxing.
When Chen Luo first thought about coming to Bailong City, he planned to find connections, which is why he went to visit his master Ma Quezi when he left.
It’s a pity that I didn’t meet the person in person, otherwise if I had gone to his house with a letter of introduction, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.
"Who are you looking for?"
The escort at the door saw Chen Luo's donkey cart stopped and thought he was here to deliver goods to the escort agency, so he asked.
"Please inform Master Ruan Jianglong that the disciple of an old friend from Qingya County is visiting."
After Chen Luo got off the car, he bowed respectfully to the disciple of the escort agency at the door, and then took out the token given to him by Ma Quezi from his sleeve. Since there is no handwritten letter, I can only use this thing to support it. I just hope that his uncle still recognizes this relationship, otherwise it will be troublesome.
Going to inquire about the news of Baixian Cave on your own is definitely the worst approach. Although according to the Nineteenth Young Master, the whereabouts of Baixian Cave can be found anywhere, that is based on the Nineteenth Young Master's status as a prince. It is definitely not easy for ordinary people to find out the whereabouts of Baixian Cave, and they may not even be able to find out even if they pay money. The only information he got from Qingya County was the approximate location of Bailong City.
Information will always circulate within a certain class and be completely blocked to the lower classes. The same is true for the information in Baixian Cave.
"An old friend from Qingya County?"
The escort took the token and looked at it puzzledly, put it in his hand, and said something to Chen Luo.
"Then go wait in the side hall. That's where guests are received."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and soon a disciple came over and helped Chen Luo lead the donkey cart away.
Chen Luo was not afraid of losing his donkey cart, so he followed the others into the Huwei Escort Agency. Only after he was settled in the reception room did the disciple hurried to the backyard with the token, presumably to report to Chief Ruan.
Chen Luo found a seat and sat down.
There were two other guests in the reception room besides him, but judging from their attire, they should be real guests who were here to discuss business with the Huwei Escort Agency. Chen Luo just took a quick glance and didn't pay any more attention to it.
Turning his eyes to other places in the room, in addition to the table and chairs for meeting guests, there is a large flowerpot in the corner of the room with a thriving green plant planted in it. Chen Luo didn't know what plant it was, but from the leaves it looked a bit like gladiolus, but it was probably not. It should be a fortune-attracting plant unique to this world.
Everyone who does business believes this.
In addition to the plants, there are some calligraphy and paintings hanging in other places in the room, with seals of famous artists on the sides.
Chen Luo didn't know any celebrities in this world, so he didn't look closely. However, when his eyes swept across a certain painting, he stopped subconsciously because he saw a familiar name.
Wang Chengguan!
Chen Luo has a very deep memory of this name.
On that day, Qingya County was hit by war and many places were burned down, except for one house which remained intact. Chen Luo went in to check and saw a piece of calligraphy on the desk. The name written on the calligraphy was "Wang Chengguan".
"Little brother, have you also heard of Master Wang's name?"
Seeing this, the merchant sitting next to Chen Luo asked curiously.
Shen Jiu had been observing Chen Luo since he came in. Now that he saw that he had noticed the calligraphy and painting just like himself, he suddenly felt like he had found a confidant.
"Master Wang?"
Chen Luo was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Wang Chengguan had such a background.
But before he could ask in detail, the escort who had gone to deliver the token came back and spoke immediately after seeing him.
"The chief escort wants you to come in."
After saying this, the bodyguard also apologized to Boss Shen and another businessman.
"Please wait a moment. I have already reported the escorts you nominated to the chief escort leader. They should be on their way now."
These two people are old customers of their Huwei Escort Agency. They stayed here because they had designated escort masters.
“No hurry, no hurry.”
Both of them quickly stood up and returned the greeting to the escort.
A large escort company that can gain a foothold in a provincial capital has a huge network of connections behind it. Although they are rich, they also know the interests behind it, so they dare not put on airs at all.
Chen Luo followed the escort through the reception room and went to the backyard.
The Huwei Escort Agency is quite big.
After leaving the reception room, we walked through two more courtyards before arriving at where the chief escort leader lived. After this, the escort who led the way said something polite and turned away.
Chen Luo looked inside through the courtyard gate and saw two people sitting inside.
A burly bald man with exposed muscles all over his body, his black short-sleeved shirt could not hide his fierce aura at all. Just sitting there, he looked like a tiger foraging for food, giving people a ferocious feeling. As for the other person, it turned out to be Chen Luo’s master Ma Quezi!
“Master?!”
Chen Luo was also stunned.
He didn't expect that Ma Quezi would be in this place. No wonder he couldn't find him when he visited him before.
"Haha, you've come at the right time. Let me introduce you."
Seeing Chen Luo's shocked expression, Ma Quezi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He also didn't expect to meet Chen Luo here. He was particularly impressed by this apprentice whom he had only taught for half a month. There is a high probability that this trip was also influenced by Chen Luo.
"This is your uncle Ruan Jianglong, the chief escort of the Huwei Escort Agency. He is also the eldest senior brother of our Black Tiger Fist lineage and a master who has mastered the Black Tiger Fist to perfection." When he said this, a proud expression appeared on Ma Quezi's face.
It is indeed a cause for pride for a style of boxing to have a top-notch master.
In fact, when he came over and saw Ruan Jianglong this time, he was also shocked.
He had never even heard of a master before, and no one in the Black Tiger Sect had ever been able to practice martial arts to this level.
The fully-developed Black Tiger Fist is at most at the initial stage of bone strengthening.
But the eldest senior brother relied on this boxing method to practice to the grandmaster level. This opened his eyes and he also officially understood the realm after the Bone Tempering Realm. However, Ma Quezi also knew that his senior brother Ruan Jianglong must have his own experiences, otherwise he would not have been able to practice the Black Tiger Fist to this level.
Although they are from the same school and have ended up like this, they have already opened up a gap with their fellow students.
But everyone has their own story. Ma Quezi was once a master when he was young and reached the bone-tempering realm very early. If he had not encountered an accident, he might have become a master now.
"Meet Uncle Ruan."
Chen Luo respectfully bowed to Ruan Jianglong as a junior.
"Is this what you call a genius? It doesn't sound that good."
Ruan Jianglong looked Chen Luo up and down, his eyes full of suspicion. Just like Ma Cuzi when he first met Chen Luo, he could tell at a glance that Chen Luo’s aptitude was not good. He would believe if someone said this kind of person was a loser, but he would be the first one not to believe that he was a genius.
"My disciple is different. I misjudged him at the beginning." Ma Quezi naturally knew what his senior brother was thinking, so he spoke up to remind him.
"You'll know if he's a real genius after you give him a try. Come on, give me a hand."
Ruan Jianglong still had some doubts, so he stretched out his hand to weigh Chen Luo.
