Chapter 144 Chaos is rising, and strength is increasing rapidly
Taiping Escort Agency.

Tang Wanrou kept punching and kicking towards a wooden stake in front of her.

The wooden pile was like a ship drifting on the stormy sea, and finally collapsed with a dull thud.

"Miss, have some lotus seed and white fungus soup to relieve your heat."

A maid brought a bowl of crystal clear lotus seed soup to Tang Wanrou.

Tang Wanrou put away her fists and feet, stared at the wooden stake that had fallen to the ground with a serious face, and panted.

At this time, her face was flushed and beads of sweat were oozing out.

If you look closely, you'll notice that her eyes are filled with deep worry and helpless anger.

Ever since the demon tiger was eliminated last month, she thought the escort agency's business would improve and the Taiping Escort Agency would revive.

But unexpectedly, although business improved, the situation outside became worse.

In addition, because of the incident with the demon tiger, the number of capable martial artists in Taiping County has been greatly reduced, resulting in the abilities of the martial artists escorting the escorts being uneven.

Their Taiping Escort Agency lost several darts in one go and suffered a lot of losses, which made the already bad business of the Taiping Escort Agency even worse.

If this continues, their Taiping Escort Agency will be unable to continue its business and will have to close down.

Faced with such a dilemma, Tang Wanrou, who has always been strong-willed, could not find a solution at all. She became increasingly annoyed and felt depressed.

After taking a deep breath, Tang Wanrou said, "Ping'er, what do you think we should do now to change the current situation of the escort agency?"

The maid Ping'er consoled her and said, "Miss, there will always be a way. Aren't the master and his men actively working outside now? Maybe there will be a turning point someday."

Actively running?

Tang Wanrou no longer has much hope for her father.

If she were ten years younger, with more vigor and blood, and still able to fight, perhaps other people would give her father some face.

Many gangs and sects are now struggling to protect themselves, and my father's energy and blood are declining. He is no longer what he used to be. Who will lend a hand?

The Taiping Escort Agency is on the verge of collapse right now, so it would be good enough if they didn't add insult to injury.

As if she had thought of something, Tang Wanrou asked, "Did you deliver the visiting card I asked you to give to Master Shen Qing last month?"

"It has been delivered. Yuan Ge'er and I delivered it together." The maid Ping'er said confidently.

"There is still no news. I guess they just don't like it anymore." Tang Wanrou said disappointedly.

Seeing Tang Wanrou like this, the maid Ping'er put the lotus seed and white fungus soup on the table beside her, thought for a moment and quickly comforted her, "Not necessarily. Miss, think about it, Master Shen Wu had someone come to your house to propose marriage before, so he must have taken a fancy to you. As long as you lower your standards, Master Shen Wu will definitely marry you."

"He hasn't replied yet. Maybe it's because he has visited too many people. He probably didn't see our visiting card. We can write another one and send it to him later. Maybe he will see it."

"Since this martial arts master Shen has killed the tiger monster and obtained the martial arts certificate, he has some connections with the Wang family, the Li family, and even the county lord. He is very powerful. If he is willing to help, all the problems in the escort agency can be solved."

Tang Wanrou smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "It's not that simple. I never thought that a person of such humble status would achieve such success one day. If it was a month or two later, I would have agreed anyway. Unfortunately, now... we are not destined to be together after all."

"Why?" the maid Ping'er asked.

Tang Wanrou was silent for a while, then sat on the chair and said, "You don't know how strong this martial artist Shen is. I've already inquired about it. He has only practiced martial arts for four months and has already become a martial artist at the Qi-nourishing stage. His strength is much higher than mine."

"What's scary is that he not only killed the tiger monster, but also killed the leader of the Mi Gang with almost no effort. Even many martial artists in the Qi Cultivation Realm cannot do this."

"Such a man has obviously become very successful. He has all kinds of women. Why would he fall for me? Now he is making friends with people from big bosses. What does our escort agency mean to him?"

"Not to mention that I wanted him to marry into my family at the time, which seemed a bit unreasonable. If it were me, I wouldn't even look at him."

Tang Wanrou smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I regret it a little. I wish I had lowered my posture a little at that time."

"Miss..." The maid Ping'er suddenly didn't know how to say the words of comfort.

"Forget it. What happened in the past is in the past. There's no point in dwelling on it. For now, let's just think about the escort agency."

Tang Wanrou's eyes couldn't help but drift towards the gate of the courtyard, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Miss, Miss!"

At this moment, a bodyguard in gray shorts rushed in and shouted, "Something good is going on!"

"What good thing?"

"We have received a big order." The escort master said happily, "Master has received a batch of escorts from the inner city to the suburbs, a total of 20 to 30 trips."

"Ah? Are you telling the truth?" Tang Wanrou asked as she stood up.

"I can't lie to you. The master has already made an appointment with someone."

"That's great!" Tang Wanrou said happily, "We are very familiar with the suburbs of Taiping County, so nothing should go wrong. With this business, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Yes, yes." The young escort suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, a big thing happened in our city today."

"What's the big deal?"

"Song Dongjia is dead!"

……

"The boss of the Song family died?" Shen Qing, who was practicing martial arts, was very surprised to hear the news: "How did he die?"

Ouyang Tiezhu said: "How do we know? Some say he died of illness, some say he was poisoned, and some say he was assassinated. In general, his death was quite strange."

Shen Qing remained silent.

I don’t know why, but over the past month, Taiping County seems to have become increasingly unstable.

Previously, the county government and major employers in the inner city were able to more or less maintain the situation.

But now, ever since the incident with the tiger demon, the relationship between the major owners seems to have become a little subtle, and they are competing against each other secretly. The order in the inner city has become a little turbulent.

All kinds of monsters and demons who were brave and aggressive and bullied the people began to show up in the city, and even many gangs became more daring.

Now that the weakest boss, Song, is dead, the other bosses and government offices will be very interested in the Song family's assets, and there will inevitably be a scramble for them.

Life in Taiping County will probably be even more difficult.

Shen Qing put away his thoughts and said, "This matter has nothing to do with us. Let's just practice hard. Brother, do you want to spar with me? I'll let you go."

Ouyang Tiezhu's face froze, revealing a bit of fear: "I just remembered that I have something else to do, Junior Brother, you can practice first."

After saying that, he fled away.

Shen Qing felt quite helpless. As his cultivation level improved, there seemed to be fewer and fewer people who could defeat him.

His eyes moved, and the ink panel emerged in his sight.
