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

Chapter 128 Letter Dart
The escort team began to speed up their journey around 3 p.m., and finally arrived at a small town at dusk...

This town, named Chang'an Town, is not a big town. There are only two cross-shaped streets in the town, and you can walk around them in two sneezes.

There is only one inn in the town, named Penglai. The Second Escort Team often takes this route and must stay here on the first day of the escort.

When they reached the intersection, Xiao Yu and Duan Rong suddenly rode their horses forward together!
Xiao Yu said to Sun Huang, "Boss, I will take Duan Rong to the martial arts hall in town to deliver a letter."

"Go! Don't delay. Once you've handed in your payment, come and meet us at the inn." Sun Huang instructed in a humble tone.

"Yes!" Xiao Yu clasped his fists and bowed, responding respectfully, then he took Duan Rong to the martial arts hall in the south end of the town.

The two men came to the entrance of the martial arts hall and handed the letter to the doorman. Xiao Yu received the silver and then took Duan Rong back.

"You need to collect money from both ends for a courier service." Xiao Yu explained to Duan Rong, "Don't forget that!"

Duan Rong nodded.

"The general rule of the escort team is that after a trainee escort joins the team, he must be responsible for three rounds of mail escort alone. This is to let you get familiar with the area. For example, Chang'an Town is not a big place, and there are only a martial arts hall and a weapons shop that often exchange letters! The situation in the prefectures and counties is more complicated, so you have to be more careful along the way."

"Someone will take you on this first trip, but you'll have to escort the second trip on your own." Xiao Yu instructed earnestly. At the moment, she was not in the escort team, so she was eager to tell Duan Rong everything she knew.

Duan Rong naturally understood Xiao Yu's attitude and the tenderness in her eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little grateful in his heart.

When Xiao Yu and Duan Rong arrived at the inn, a group of escorts and porters had already taken their seats in the lobby.

The escort carriage was unloaded of horses and parked in the backyard. The horses were put into the stable and fed with hay. The two men also led their own horses to the backyard and handed them over to an old man in charge of the horses.

Afterwards, Xiao Yu and Duan Rong came to the lobby and sat down. Xiao Yu pointed to a table and said to Duan Rong, "You go sit at that table."

There are also levels and rules in the escort team. Duan Rong is just a trainee escort and is not qualified to sit at the table of the escort leader Sun Huang.

Upon hearing this, Duan Rong walked over and sat down, Xiao Yu sat at another table, and Sun Huang and Liu Ao both sat at this table.

After a while, the food was served, and there were several hard dishes...

The two waiters stood up and used silver needles to test the dishes and soup. Sun Huang saw that the food was fine, so he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth...

As soon as Sun Huang started to eat, the two tables became restless, and everyone was eating voraciously...

Duan Rong had always felt that he had some talent in this aspect of being a naive person. After all, he had always taken advantage of Yang Zhen when he was with him. But now he had to sigh that he was not as good as him...

It is professional after all!
Although the food was quite sumptuous, there was no wine!
You are not allowed to drink alcohol while escorting, this is one of the iron rules of Yuanshun Escort Agency!

Before in the Black Tiger Camp, the jar of wine that others gave him could only be placed on the escort vehicle, and then drunk on the way back after the goods were delivered.

After eating and drinking, the escort leader Sun Huang said, "Everyone, have finished your meal, go to bed early. We have to go out on the road at dawn tomorrow morning! The rooms are ready. There are four rooms on the east side of the second floor and two rooms near the door on the first floor. Two people in one room, you can make your own!"

As soon as Sun Huang finished speaking, Li Yuliang, who was sitting next to Duan Rong, suddenly stood up and pointed at Xiao Yu next to Sun Huang, shouting, "I want to share a room with him! I have mysophobia, and I think he's the cleaner among all of you!"

Li Yuliang didn't mean to tease Xiao Yu. After all, with Xiao Yu's appearance and her coolness, who could tell she was a woman?

However, girls are girls after all, and their love of cleanliness is in their bones. Although she was covered in dust on the way, as soon as Xiao Yu entered the inn, she wiped off the dust on her body and washed her face by the well.

But as soon as Li Yuliang said that, everyone was stunned. Xiao Yu was obviously angry. If there was no hint of teasing or joking in Li Yuliang's expression, she would have exploded immediately!
At this moment, Duan Rong suddenly grabbed Li Yuliang's collar and said, "I just joined the escort team and I'm in need of a companion. I think we should share a room."

"What are you doing? Let me go. Look at that neck full of dust. Who wants to live in the same room with you?" Li Yuliang struggled and shouted.

But he had never learned martial arts, so how could he break free from Duan Rong's hands?

"If you scream again, I'll stuff this old oily rag into your mouth!" Duan Rong glared at Li Yuliang and reached out to grab a piece of old rag on the table. The rag hadn't been washed for a long time, it was tattered and full of oil stains!

When Li Yuliang saw the rag in Duan Rong's hand, his face turned green immediately.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Duan Rong turned to look at Sun Huang and said with a smile, "Boss, I'm going to take the guest to the room to rest."

"Go ahead. Take good care of the customers!" Sun Huang said with a smile.

Duan Rong grabbed Li Yuliang's collar, took him to the second floor of the inn, and pushed him into a room.

Sun Huang turned his head to look at Xiao Yu in the lobby and said with a smile: "This disciple is good! My teaching was not in vain!"

Xiao Yu smiled and glanced at the second floor, the room that Duan Rong went into. Duan Rong was quick-witted and smooth, helping him resolve the embarrassment.

At this time, Liu Ao came over, looked at Xiao Yu, and said, "Yu girl, let's stick to the old rules. I'll be there in the first half of the night, and you in the second half!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yu replied, looking at Liu Ao with complicated eyes.

In the escort team, apart from the escort leader Sun Huang, Xiao Yu and Liu Ao have the best martial arts skills, so they take turns guarding the cargo escort parked in the backyard!
Although Liu Ao was working in the first half of the night, he would often let Xiao Yu work for an hour. Although Xiao Yu had told Liu Ao several times not to do so, Liu Ao always insisted on doing so.

In the room on the second floor of the inn, Duan Rong closed the door, pushed Li Yuliang to the ground, and then walked straight to the bed and lay on it with his arms and legs spread out, occupying the entire large bed by himself...

Li Yuliang got up from the ground, looked at Duan Rong, and said angrily: "Get up! How can I sleep if you are like this?"

Duan Rong grabbed a folded quilt at the head of the bed and threw it on Li Yuliang, saying, "Sleep on the floor!"

Li Yuliang grabbed a corner of the quilt and said angrily, "Why don't you sleep on the floor? I'm a customer, you know? What's going on with your Yuanshun Escort Agency?"

Duan Rong lay there, with his hands behind his head, and said, "We are only responsible for your safety, not for making you comfortable along the way. Understand?"

"You..." Li Yuliang was so angry that he said, "I'm going to find your escort leader and sue you!"

As Li Yuliang spoke, he threw the quilt in his hand on Duan Rong and turned to leave.

At this moment, Li Yuliang saw a figure flash before his eyes, and Duan Rong suddenly grabbed Li Yuliang by the waist and carried him on his shoulders!

Before Li Yuliang could react, he felt the scene in front of him become blurry, and the next moment he appeared on top of the beam!
Duan Rong moved too quickly, and Li Yuliang had no idea what was happening, and suddenly found himself being carried onto the beam by Duan Rong!
"what are you doing?"

Duan Rong put Li Yuliang down from his shoulders. Li Yuliang stood on the round beam and looked down. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost stumbled and fell down. Li Yuliang was so frightened that he hugged the pillar beside him and trembled, "Quick! Let me down! You little thief... let me down!"

Duan Rong looked at Li Yuliang's funny look and asked, "Will you sleep on the floor?"

Li Yuliang was so scared that he almost cried, and said, "Sleep! I'll sleep!"

"Are you going to report me?"

"I won't sue anymore!"

Seeing that he had convinced Li Yuliang to surrender, Duan Rong moved quickly, grabbed Li Yuliang by the collar, and jumped down.

Li Yuliang only felt a flash before his eyes, and the next moment he suddenly found that his feet were on the floor. His legs suddenly went limp and he collapsed to the ground, glaring at Duan Rong with a pale face.

Although Li Yuliang was angry, he was also frightened by Duan Rong, so he had to pick up the quilt on the bed and sleep obediently on the floor next to the wall.
