Chapter 76 Big Trouble

Fu Qingzhou found that he had overlooked one thing.

He thought that the hundreds of gangsters who had followed the Changqing Escort Agency were mostly a mob, but after their identities were exposed by Pan Shanlong in the Wuming Village and now he was recognized by the escort when he was just sightseeing in Yu'nan City... he realized a problem.

Among those hundreds of people at that time, it is very likely that all the famous people in the entire Shu area and even the surrounding areas were gathered!
If it were in a novel, it would at least be a low-profile story of six major sects besieging Guangmingding!
It’s just that I don’t know anyone, so naturally I don’t think it’s a big deal.

Now thinking back, when Hua Wuying first appeared, apart from speaking a few words to me and teaching me a few sword techniques, he kept chatting and chatting with the crowd. I guess there must be quite a few famous figures in the martial arts world among those people.

A drop of cold sweat oozed out of Fu Qingzhou's forehead.

Fortunately, fortunately Long Dabei changed his appearance...

As time goes by, now only some bodyguards who have seen my true face can recognize me.

All these thoughts flashed through his mind in the blink of an eye. Fu Qingzhou looked at the angry escort in front of him and was a little stunned: "What happened to Chief Escort Xiong?"

"Humph, is it your turn to ask?"

The escort gritted his teeth and asked back: "Where is that person?"

Fu Qingzhou naturally knew who he was asking about, and laughed helplessly: "He's dead."

The escort was stunned.

"Brother, who is he?" Tang Jiao asked carefully from the side.

Fu Qingzhou waved his hand and said to the escort: "I know that what that person did probably got you into some trouble, but..."

He sighed softly: "I was kidnapped by him in the beginning, and I had no choice. Whether you want revenge or something, it may be meaningless to look for me."

The escort sneered: "We don't care about that... Brothers!"

He shouted in a low voice, and a few more escorts squeezed out of the crowd.

When these people saw Fu Qingzhou, their expressions changed and they also recognized him.

"The chief escort said that if he sees you, he will find a way to get you back."

The escort said coldly: "Little brother, come with us?"

Fu Qingzhou let out a breath.

Xiong Shao naturally couldn't know that Long Dabei was dead. I think he just told his men to take Long Dabei back if they saw him...

But now there is no Long Dabi, only a Xiao Fu, so the word "please" naturally has to be put in double quotation marks.

A group of bodyguards immediately surrounded her. Tang Jiao was very nervous and shrank to Fu Qingzhou's side.

"Everyone."

Fu Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Captain Xiong has invited me to come. I have no reason to refuse. But please don't disturb others."

An escort laughed dryly and said, "As long as you behave yourself, there's no need for us to do anything."

Things have come to this point, so of course I have to leave.

Fu Qingzhou had no choice but to go with Tang Jiao and the other escorts. These guys were so cautious that they didn't even let them lead the horses. They "enthusiastically" took on the job of leading the horses, carrying the bags, and even the weapons.

"Brother, are they from the Changqing Escort Agency?" Tang Jiao quickly calmed down after the initial nervousness and asked in a low voice, "What do they want us to do?"

Fu Qingzhou was surprised: "Do you know Changqing Escort Agency?"

"I heard it on my way to find you." Tang Jiao blinked.

Fu Qingzhou nodded: "I see...Brother, I don't know what they want us to do, but..."

He looked at the escorts who surrounded the two of them in the middle, pushing away the crowd at the night market like an iron tower, and said with a wry smile, "It's probably not going to be a good thing."

The escorts quickly brought them to their destination.

What surprised Fu Qingzhou was that the destination was not a big inn, but a security agency compound that was almost identical to the one in the Shu capital at that time, with the same big sign of "Changqing Security Agency" hanging on the door.

"Oh boy, a branch store."

Fu Qingzhou murmured, "This business is indeed big."

As soon as they entered the escort agency, the door was immediately shut. Some escorts who were practicing martial arts in the yard cast their eyes over. Their eyes were exactly the same as the first escort, first surprised, then turned into anger and hatred...

Some of the bodyguards who were obviously impatient even showed an attitude of wanting to fight, approaching with weapons in hand and cold faces.

Of course they wouldn't actually do anything, but the feeling of oppression was still suffocating.

Fu Qingzhou was a little nervous, but he couldn't escape now, so he could only act according to circumstances.

The two of them were taken to the inner room of the escort agency. As soon as they opened the door, a strong smell of medicine hit them in the face.

Xiong Shao was lying on the bed, his upper body wrapped in bandages and his eyes closed.

"That day, the chief escort blocked Long Dabei's sword to protect us." The escort next to Fu Qingzhou lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "This sword almost killed the chief escort!"

Several people approached the bed and could feel from Xiong Shao's furrowed brows that he was in great pain.

As if he felt someone approaching, he slowly opened his eyes... and then he saw Fu Qingzhou at first sight.

"It's you!"

His pupils shrank: "Where is Long Dabei?"

Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "He died. He died in the siege of Mingjian Pavilion and Wandu Mountain."

Xiong Shao was stunned at first, then a look of joy quickly appeared on his face.

"Good good!"

He breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Good death! Good death!"

But his laughter also pulled the wound, and the smile quickly turned into pain, and the laughter turned into groans, and blood kept oozing out from under the bandage.

"Chief escort!"

The bodyguards around were shocked and rushed forward to steady Xiong Shao. They checked his wounds in a hurry and then changed the medicine.

Fu Qingzhou and Tang Jiao took two steps back awkwardly and watched the escorts struggling.

After about half a cup of tea, Xiong Shao finally recovered. With the help of an escort, he sat against the head of the bed and sighed, "After this serious injury, I'm afraid I'll never be able to return to my peak."

As he said that, he looked at Fu Qingzhou: "You, come here."

Fu Qingzhou slowly approached and said, "Captain Xiong, what can I do for you?"

"What is your relationship with Long Dabei?" Xiong Shao asked in a deep voice: "From what I see, you seem to be master and disciple... but you are not the same as ordinary masters and disciples."

Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "I can honestly say that Long Dabei and I are not master and disciple. He wished that I could inherit his legacy, but as long as I practiced his skills, I would be destined to become the same as him, so I wholeheartedly refused from the beginning."

"But you also know that he insisted on taking me with him, and I had no choice."

"I was held hostage by him and tried every way to escape, but failed... As you can see, I let a lot of people into the escort agency camp under the pretext of honing their martial arts skills, in order to create trouble for Long Dabei and prevent him from having a good rest."

"Now that he's dead... I can finally be free."

There was no point in lying at this time. Changqing Escort Agency had escorted them all the way and had seen everything about the relationship between the two. Xiong Shao was definitely not someone who could be easily deceived. Instead of making up a lie and then being exposed, it was better to tell the truth.

Xiong Shao listened and started coughing again.

After coughing for a while, he raised his head with a faint gleam of light in his eyes.

"Young man, I'm seriously injured this time. I may only be able to stay at the seventh level of martial arts in the future. I'm afraid it's impossible for me to return to the peak of martial arts."

"In addition, the entire Shu region knows that my Changqing Escort Agency accepted the order to escort Long Dabei. Even if they all know that I was forced, they will look down on our escort agency from the bottom of their hearts... Not to mention that this escort failed."

"The reputation and strength of the escort agency have been greatly reduced because of this incident. I'm afraid that my Changqing Escort Agency will never be able to recover from this."

Hearing his words, several bodyguards in the room lowered their heads silently, clenched their fists, and were filled with grief and indignation.

Xiong Shao looked at Fu Qingzhou and asked softly, "Do you think this is an unexpected disaster for us?"

"Yes."

Fu Qingzhou said bluntly: "You did nothing wrong."

"Yeah, we didn't do anything wrong..."

Xiong Shao looked at him deeply: "But, it's not that there is no solution."

"Young man, Long Dabei died, but you are still here. He wanted to take you in as his apprentice. He must have told you something before he died, right?"

"If I offer you to Mingjian Pavilion, will they give me medicine to help me heal my wounds? My escort agency has helped Mingjian Pavilion achieve great things. With just one word from them...it won't be difficult for them to help us regain our reputation, right?"

Fu Qingzhou's expression gradually turned ugly.

"Let's capture him without mercy."

Xiong Shao said calmly: "I don't want to bully a junior like you. As long as you behave yourself, I will ensure that you have good food and drink and treat you as a guest of honor."

After taking a deep breath, Fu Qingzhou shook his head.

"Captain Xiong, I'm sorry I can't obey your order." He said calmly.

Xiong Shao was not too surprised, he just raised his eyebrows to the surrounding escorts and said: "Then use force."

Seeing the escorts approaching step by step, Fu Qingzhou looked at Xiong Shao and asked softly: "Have you ever thought about why I can appear in Yu'nan City?"
