A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 125: Escort
Ximen Kankan watched Qin Zhong's back disappear at the door, his eyes flickering.

That Dragon Flame Fat actually originated from the Western Regions!

The Western Regions is the territory of the Faxiang Sect!

Moreover, even Lao Qin had never seen this Dragon Flame Fat, which shows that it is an extremely rare medicine. I'm afraid there are very few places where it can be used. If it really has a wide range of uses, it is impossible that Lao Qin has not seen it.

"Red Snake Boy? ... Could this guy be a wanted criminal?" Ximen Kankan touched his chin, thinking of Duan Rong's secretive expression, and had a bad feeling in his heart. He said to himself: "It seems that the medicine that big brother wants to buy is really related!"

Ximen Kankan jumped down from the tall and wide chair, paced in the hall with his hands behind his back, and said solemnly, "No! I have to warn that old boy Qin Zhong once again, and make him swear an oath not to raise his hand!"

Ximen Kankan thought of Duan Rong's threat, and a trace of fear suddenly surged in his heart!
Fan Yuanhai originally thought that after receiving his report, the sect would send a letter asking him to go back!
That's why he lingered in the place of fireworks every day, but now he received an urgent letter asking him to investigate a case, Fan Yuanhai immediately focused his mind and began to think about the mystery of Xu Ruhu and Jie Lei!
Although he was in the back hall of the county government office, he attacked Jie Daohan in public and accused him of being the mastermind behind the incident!
But he was just venting his anger. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the first person who should be eliminated in this case is Jie Daohan.

Not to mention whether he would kill his own nephew!

If Xie Daohan was really the mastermind behind all this, after killing Xie Lei and Xu Ruhu, he could have buried the bodies and destroyed the crypt!

Why did he need to expose himself and bring a coroner to the crypt to perform an autopsy?
He was the chief constable in charge of criminal cases in the county, so it was possible for him to cover up this trace.

This point alone is enough to rule out Jie Daohan. What's more, Jie Lei is the only child in his Jie family!
Now, Jie Daohan is investigating the matter of corpse poison and the Whale Tiger Gang, so he doesn't need to get involved anymore!

After all, Xie Daohan is the local tyrant of Xiangu County. As the saying goes, every snake has its own way, and Xie Daohan has his own way of pursuing his enemies!
What he needs to do now is to check other clues to see if he can identify the suspicious person.

Fan Yuanhai looked at the four hideous portraits in his hands. These portraits were so eye-catching that anyone who had seen them would probably never forget them!

Fan Yuanhai thought about it and decided to start with the four portraits and the name of the medicine called Longyanzhi!
After all, the message that the sect urgently sent over must have a purpose!
Maybe we can identify the suspicious person from these two lines.

After Fan Yuanhai had thought of his plan, he left the Chunfeng Inn and headed straight for the herbal medicine shop on West Street. As soon as he entered the door, a waiter came to greet him and asked enthusiastically, "Sir, do you want to get some medicine?"

"Who is in charge of your store?" Fan Yunhai stood at the door with his hands behind his back and asked in a bad tone.

The clerk was slightly stunned. Before he could react, Ma Chu came out from behind the counter and said, "I wonder what you can do for me, sir? The shopkeeper is in the back hall warehouse! I am the most senior clerk here. You can tell me if you have anything to say!"

Fan Yuanhai directly showed the Taiyi Order and asked, "Do you recognize this order?"

Ma Chu was startled and immediately knelt down, saying, "I am here to see the imperial envoy!"

The shop assistants didn't know why Ma Chu suddenly knelt down, but when they saw his terrified look, they were immediately frightened and knelt down.

Fan Yuanhai's face turned grim, and he said coldly: "It's good that you recognize it! Bring me your registration books, I want to check the detailed list of people who have entered and left the shop in the past half month!"

Ma Chu said, "Please wait a moment, envoy! I will go to the back hall to report to the shopkeeper. The account books have always been in the shopkeeper's charge!"

After Ma Chu finished speaking, he immediately went to the back hall. After a while, an old man with a white beard came out and personally welcomed Fan Yuanhai into the back hall!
Ma Chu asked the waiters in the lobby to take good care of their business, and he followed into the back hall!

Fan Yuanhai looked through the account book and found no record of a medicinal herb called Dragon Flame Fat. He closed the account book, looked at Ma Chu, and asked, "Has anyone asked about a medicinal herb called Dragon Flame Fat?"

"Dragon Flame Fat?" Ma Chu shook his head. "The shop doesn't have this herb, and no one has ever asked about it!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Yuanhai sighed slightly, because he could see that Ma Chu was not lying.

"This is a major case. Anyone who asks about this medicine must report it immediately! Anyone who conceals it will be treated as a harbouring agent!" Fan Yuanhai said coldly, "Also, if this matter is leaked out for no reason...you better watch out for your own necks!"

After Fan Yuanhai finished speaking, he closed the account book and left. The old man and Ma Chu looked at each other, both with a worried look on their faces. The most feared thing for businessmen is that things are not peaceful, and the person who came is the envoy of the sect...

Yuanshun Escort Agency, in a cramped dormitory in the central courtyard.

In the dim dormitory, the flame of the oil lamp was as small as a bean, emitting a dim light.

This cramped dormitory was empty except for a wooden basin in the corner where the light was shining. The basin was dark, as if it contained unwashed clothes.

Suddenly, the clothes began to swell up slowly, just like rising dough...

Soon it bulged out of the mouth of the basin and slowly expanded!
And it gets bigger and bigger!

At the same time, the sound of firecrackers exploding was heard!

Then, there was the sound of bones rubbing against each other!

There was actually a ball of flesh in the wooden basin!
The flesh ball expanded in circles, twisting in reverse continuously...

After a few breaths, the meat ball turned into a young man with a strong body and a dark face!

It was Duan Rong who had initially mastered the art of bone shrinking.

Duan Rong looked at the empty wooden basin at his feet and let out a breath. Finally, he managed to master the basic skills of this miraculous skill before going out on the escort mission.

In this way, when going out to escort a car, you will have an additional means of saving your life!

Thinking back on it, the experience of practicing bone shrinking skills for more than ten days was like scraping bones and picking tendons. Even though Duan Rong had a will as strong as iron, he still felt his scalp tingling when he thought about it now!
That is definitely an inhuman purgatory!
Over the past ten days, Duan Rong has spent almost all of his time practicing the third level of internal energy and bone shrinking skills!
The third level of internal energy, although still far from achievement, but after more than ten days of hard practice, the internal energy has improved a lot. At least it is much stronger than when I achieved the second level.

Moreover, these days, Duan Rong would devour a sword technique at the minor success level before going to bed every night!
After more than ten days of accumulation, he has almost digested and absorbed more than ten kinds of swordsmanship!

However, Duan Rong did not have time to deduce these sword techniques in detail. He absorbed them, understood them briefly, and then put them aside!
After all, time was running out, and he had no mature ideas about swallowing and fusing different sword techniques. This aspect could only be left for later and slowly deduced...

Seeing that tomorrow is the day when he will go out on a escort mission for the first time, Duan Rong feels a little excited, as he can finally leave Xiangu County and experience the real world!

Also, he can take off this shorts and put on bodyguard's clothes!
Thinking of this, Duan Rong stood in the cramped room, feeling somewhat yearning...

The next day!

As soon as the sky got bright, a team of escorts walked out of the gate of Yuanshun Escort Agency!
Eight large boxes with iron locks were placed on four two-wheeled carriages, and hemp ropes were used to hold the boxes!

Duan Rong was wearing the clothes of an escort, riding a chestnut horse, and following the team. He had suffered from insomnia last night due to excitement, and his mind was still dizzy at this moment!
Duan Rong rode leisurely on his horse and couldn't help but yawn...

Xiao Yu rode his horse beside Duan Rong, and seeing his listless look, he glared at him fiercely!
Duan Rong immediately perked up and straightened his back. He was now a trainee escort and Xiao Yu would be his master in the future. He had to make a good impression on his master.

Duan Rong originally thought that Xiao Yu would be dressed as a female knight and wear a hat with a gauze veil on her head, just like in martial arts dramas!

But Xiao Yu had her hair tied up and was wearing the uniform of a bodyguard. In addition, she had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. At this time, she was riding a horse and carrying a sword, so it was difficult to tell whether she was a man or a woman!

The escort team did not leave the city directly!
When the escort team goes out on a convoy, they usually go to the City God Temple to worship the City God in order to bless the safety of people and goods along the way. This has been the practice of Yuanshun Escort Agency for many years!
