I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 79 Situ Qin

After the seventh day, most of the people in the escort agency had returned.

In fact, three days after the New Year's Day, many people came back one after another. The escorts who had been in the escort agency for a long time were still at ease in the escort team. Shen Longteng wanted them to reunite with their families, and they didn't want this place to be deserted forever.

Xie Yuan followed Qin Hai out, feeling confused.

The Jianghu needs help? Zhao Xingyang is the head of the escort team. He has mastered the three trainings and has a wide network of connections. When Yun Zhao is around, he can help him with any problems in the Jianghu.

If he can't handle it, what's the point of looking for Xie Yuan, a rookie?

However, Xie Yuan soon arrived at Zhao Xingyang's study and found out what the emergency was.

In the study room.

Zhao Xingyang was wearing a blue shirt, sitting behind the desk, with his head lowered and his eyes drooping, holding a cup of tea in a covered bowl and sipping it slowly.

But he sipped the tea for a long time, the tea never went down and the cup never left his mouth. If you couldn't see him moving, you would have thought time had stopped.

Opposite him stood a slim girl in a goose yellow dress.

The girl had her hair tied up in a delicate bun, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, which made people fall in love with her at first sight.

Her facial features were delicate, with light black eyebrows like distant mountains shrouded in mist, and a pair of large almond-shaped eyes below that, full of life; her nose was straight and upturned, and her lips were rosy and slightly pursed, which made people feel sorry for her.

At this moment, she was standing in front of Zhao Xingyang's desk, frowning slightly, curling her red lips, and said in dissatisfaction:
"Captain Zhao, are you so reluctant to send me off this time?"

"Miss Qin, the escort agency is busy at the end of the year, and Zhao has important matters to attend to, so he really can't get away."

Zhao Xingyang coughed and put down the tea bowl.

The girl named Miss Qin folded her arms and raised her head slightly:
"Is it not the escort agency's responsibility to send me off? I think it should be one of the most important things for your escort agency. Shouldn't you, the escort leader, be responsible for it?"

Zhao Xing raised his forehead and was speechless for a moment. He could only say:
"My mission was set before the New Year."

"My commission was also paid to your escort agency two months before the New Year."

Miss Qin refused to give in and said with a slight disdain:

"Even if Zhao Biaotou tries to evade me, it's too insincere."

Zhao Xingyang had a headache. Even though he was full of youthful courage, he couldn't do anything in front of this sharp-tongued, noble girl. He could only smile softly:
"Miss Qin, please be patient. I will find you another capable escort who will be here soon."

"Is there anyone in your escort agency more capable than you?"

Before Miss Qin finished her words, Zhao Xingyang's eyes lit up and said:
"coming!"

He dodged and ran to the study to open the door himself, causing Qin Hai, who was about to knock on the door, to stop his hand in the air and be slightly stunned.

"Boss, the people are here."

Qin Hai stepped aside halfway, revealing Xie Yuan behind him.

Xie Yuan was a little surprised when he saw Zhao Xingyang, whose face was filled with joy and relief. What kind of situation could have forced Zhao, who was never afraid of any hardship, to have such an expression?

Before he could say anything, Zhao Xingyang's face suddenly popped out from behind him, looking him up and down:

"Captain Zhao, is this the capable escort you arranged for me?"

"That's right. Miss Qin, don't think that Xiao Xie is a useless person just because he is young and handsome..."

"Okay, I'm very satisfied with this candidate. You can go now, Zhao Biaotou."

"?"

Zhao Xingyang was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the girl jump out boldly and bow in front of Xie Yuan:
"Thank you, Escort Master. I am Situ Qin, your escort this time. When are we leaving?"

Xie Yuan looked at the girl, who had the most beautiful face he had ever seen, and was confused for a moment.

Really pretty, much prettier than those internet celebrities...

What is the situation now?
Zhao Xingyang felt inexplicably resentful. She had just been asking me to send her off, but as soon as she saw Xiao Xie, she forgot about me. What kind of lady from an aristocratic family is this? She is just a superficial woman who only looks at appearance...

As he was complaining in his heart, Situ Qin happened to turn around and stared at him strangely:
"Captain Zhao, aren't you busy? Why are you still here?"

Zhao Xingyang's face was filled with black lines:
"This is my study." He sighed and shook his head.
"Forget it, Xiao Xie, come in and I'll explain it to you."

"Why should only Escort Xie be allowed in? I am the client, so I should also sit in on the trial with him."

Seeing that Zhao Xingyang was about to pull Xie Yuan into the study room alone, the girl followed Xie Yuan and leaned over to speak.

"...Ms. Qin, please come in as well."

After entering the house, Zhao Xingyang said to Xie Yuan:
"This is Situ Qin, Miss Qin. She is... a lady from a high-class family and a regular customer of the escort agency."

Under Situ Qin's gaze, Zhao Xingyang changed his words slightly, and then Situ Qin withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

"This time she is going home to visit her parents, and she has entrusted the escort agency to escort her. It is a human escort. I cannot leave, and after much thought, I think you, Xiao Xie, are the most suitable person. I will give the task to you. You must send Miss Qin back to Yunzhou Prefecture safely."

Xie Yuan nodded silently. He had already seen that this rich young lady had a capricious personality. Zhao Xingyang seemed a little overwhelmed, so he passed this hot potato to himself.

"Boss Zhao, if you don't go, who will be with you in the escort team?"

"There's only one porter for you... well, just you."

After looking at Situ Qin's gaze, Zhao Xingyang changed his words again.

"Only me?"

Xie Yuan found it a little unbelievable.

"There's nothing I can do. There are so many things to do during the New Year holidays that I really can't spare any manpower."

Zhao Xingyang spread his hands, then stepped forward and patted Xie Yuan on the shoulder:

"Xiao Xie, there is no time to lose. Don't delay Miss Qin for too long. You should set off now!"

He then moved closer to Xie Yuan and whispered:
"Miss Qin is of noble status and has a strong background. Xiao Xie, don't say that your brother doesn't take care of you. This is a good opportunity for you. If you can climb up the social ladder, you will be able to rise to prominence in the future!"

Zhao Xingyang patted Xie Yuan's shoulder heavily again. Although he said this, a mischievous smile appeared on his face.

He thought he spoke softly, but he didn't notice that Situ Qin behind him curled her lips slightly and looked at him with disdain.

Xie Yuan was somewhat forced to accept this inexplicable escort mission, but since his leader had arranged it, he had no choice but to do it even though he was reluctant.

Walking in front of Situ Qin, Xie Yuan bowed vigorously and said in a deep voice:

"Miss Qin, I am Xie Yuan, and I will be responsible for your safety this time. Please come in."

"Xie Yuan? What a good name. He really lives up to his name."

Situ Qin smiled with her eyebrows curved, and looked Xie Yuan up and down generously, which made him look a little uncomfortable, but made Situ Qin smile even more.

Xie Yuan packed up briefly, picked up a escort flag, and followed Situ Qin out of the escort agency, only to find that there was a huge convoy outside and a guard team of more than 20 people were waiting for them.

Each of these guards looked awe-inspiring and were obviously skilled fighters, all of them were Situ Qin’s own men.

Xie Yuan finally understood why Zhao Xingyang only sent him alone for such a large escort. It turned out that such a team did not need more people. Asking Longteng Escort Agency to send people was just a formality to avoid trouble on the road. The escort flag meant more to him than himself.

It is no wonder that Zhao Xingyang himself was unwilling to come. It would be a waste of time for him to go on this kind of security escort. The escort agency needs him for more important tasks.

Of course, this girl's own factors cannot be ruled out...

Seeing that Situ Qin was still secretly looking at him, Xie Yuan shook his head slightly.

Situ Qin smiled and said softly:
"Thank you Escort Master, don't be nervous. Cooperating with your escort agency and asking you to send someone is just a formality. Besides, I checked the almanac before leaving. Today's trip will be smooth and there will be no accidents."

"That's good, of course."

Such a fat and strong team, coupled with the flag of the Longteng Escort Agency, is indeed extremely safe.

Xie Yuan nodded slightly, followed the slowly moving convoy, slowly walked out of the county town, and headed south.

When they left the city, several of the vegetable vendors near the city gate looked at each other at the same time, then lowered their heads silently, turned around and left, forgetting even to pick up the things on their stalls.
