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

Chapter 132 Zhao Mansion
Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Duan Rong, and was relieved to see that Duan Rong was not injured!

Duan Rong's eyes were always on Liu Ao, but Liu Ao never looked at him from beginning to end.

Duan Rong was almost certain that Liu Ao wanted to kill him in the melee just now!

Although the battle group was in chaos, he knew very well that it was by no means an accident!
"Liu Ao wants to kill me?"

Over the past few days, he could also see Liu Ao's implicit love for Xiao Yu.

Could it be that he was jealous of Xiao Yu's attitude towards him? Duan Rong thought with a twinkling look in his eyes.

No matter what the reason is, the grudge has been settled!
Duan Rong was furious: Just because you are at the third level of inner breath, you think you can beat me? If we really fight, who will die is still unknown.

Seeing that Liu Ao didn't look at him, Duan Rong turned his gaze away and pretended to be calm.

Li Yuliang, who was hiding behind the escort vehicle, saw Hong Yan finally retreat. His legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground. He felt like he had been to the gates of hell twice in one night...

Although Luo Fanglong and Lu Feng were injured, their injuries were not serious. After being bandaged, they got on their horses!
After the dart team reorganized, they set off again!
Ahead was the county seat of Sheqi County. After a night of rushing and a tough battle, everyone was already tired and hungry. They all wanted to enter the county seat, find an inn and have a good meal first!
Sun Huang rode his horse slowly. Although Hong Yan was defeated, his heart was shrouded in a layer of haze.

Hong Yan's question was still ringing in his ears...

"When you, Yuanshun Escort Agency, take over people's escorts, don't you do background checks?"

When Yuanshun Escort Agency accepts someone to escort someone, they will of course do a background check. Otherwise, wouldn’t that mean they are also taking on wanted criminals?

But why did Luan Jingfu do the background check, accept Li Yuliang's escort, and assign him to himself?
Did the background check fail to find any problems? Or did they know there were problems but deliberately put themselves in the wrong place?

He was an old subordinate of Xiao Zongting, and all the escorts in the escort team were trained by Old Xiao. Luan Jingfu naturally regarded him as Xiao Zongting's direct descendant.

But he had been in the escort agency for so many years, and he had both experience and reputation. Luan Jingfu had never challenged him in public, but secretly, he had done many things to trip him up...

After the escort team entered the city, they walked directly along the street to their familiar place in Sheqi County - Liuhe Inn.

The escort carriage was unloaded from the horses and pulled into the backyard. The horses were put into the shed and the escorts took their seats in the lobby.

At this time, it was still morning and the cooking ingredients had not been prepared yet, but Sun Huang ordered braised beef and peanuts, as well as steamed buns and plain noodles.

They were all fast food and were served quickly. After Yinzhen tasted the food, everyone started to make it...

After eating, Duan Rong touched his round belly and burped. After not sleeping all night, Duan Rong was so tired that his eyelids were trembling. But right after he finished his meal, he was grabbed by Xiao Yu and went to deliver a letter.

If there are no trainee escorts joining the team, the escort work will be subcontracted to individuals according to the locations along the way.

But once a trainee escort joins the team, the first three missions will be under the charge of the new trainee escort.

Xiao Yu and Duan Rong left Liuhe Inn and headed towards East City along the street. They only had one letter in their hands, which was from the Zhao Mansion in East City...

But Xiao Yu pointed out to Duan Rong all the important points along the way.

Duan Rong was on the road, listening intermittently, glancing at both sides of the street from time to time. Sheqi County and Xiangu County were not far apart, and the customs and people were similar. Some of the things sold in the shops were also quite similar...

After walking for half an incense stick of time, they arrived at the alley where the Zhao residence was located. Xiao Yu walked in first, and Duan Rong followed quickly.

At this time, it was early morning and the door of the Zhao Mansion was closed. Xiao Yu walked up the stone steps, pulled the copper ring, and prepared to knock on the door.

She had just knocked twice when the vermilion lacquered door slowly opened a crack. Xiao Yu was surprised and pushed the door open!
The red lacquered door actually opened in response! Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes fixed, and she walked in. Duan Rong followed behind Xiao Yu and also slipped in.

The two of them walked into the Zhao Mansion one after the other. The first thing they saw was a screen wall. When they walked around the screen wall, they saw a deserted courtyard with wild grass growing up to their ankles!

Xiao Yu was surprised. "The Zhao family is quite powerful in Sheqi County, how could their house become so dilapidated?"

The last time she came to the Zhao Mansion to deliver a letter was just over three months ago. At that time, there was still a doorman guarding the gate, but now it seemed to be deserted.

"Is anyone there?" Xiao Yu suddenly walked forward a few steps and shouted in the middle of the yard.

But the house was silent and no one responded to her.

At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly saw a skull at her feet, almost touching her feet, but it was covered by weeds and could not be seen unless she got closer.

Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the skull and took two steps back. But as soon as she stood still, she suddenly felt a pain in the calf of her right leg.

She looked intently and saw a gray-brown scaly snake in the weeds. Xiao Yu was furious and drew her sword to chop it. With her internal energy, the middle part of the scaly snake immediately broke into pieces of blood and fell on the broken grass. Only the snake's head and tail were shaking and rolling...

Duan Rong walked over immediately and took a closer look. The snake's head was in the shape of a triangle, and it was actually a short-tailed viper!
"Master! This snake is poisonous!" Duan Rong said in surprise.

Xiao Yu recognized the poisonous snake and his face looked very ugly.

She unzipped her trouser legs and saw two snake tooth holes on her calf, which was as smooth as cream. Xiao Yu frowned and squeezed, and some black poisonous blood flowed out of the tooth holes!

"Master, this short-tailed viper is highly poisonous. If the poisonous blood is not sucked out in time, your leg may be in danger!" Duan Rong said anxiously, looking at the tooth hole on Xiao Yu's calf.

Xiao Yu naturally knew that what Duan Rong said was true, but she seemed to have thought of something, her face turned red, and an uncertain look flashed in her beautiful eyes, but Duan Rong had already squatted down, put his lips and tongue on Xiao Yu's white calf, and sucked hard...

Xiao Yu's face flushed red, and she was about to scold him, but she shut up and turned her head away gently...

Duan Rong sucked the poisonous blood and spat it out on the ground. After a while, he spat out a small pool of purple-black poisonous blood at his feet...

Xiao Yu looked at Duan Rong intently, and seeing that Duan Rong's face was focused and his eyes were shining brightly, the mixed emotions of anger and shyness in her heart eased a little...

Duan Rong was sucking when he suddenly noticed that Xiao Yu was wearing a silver anklet on her ankle. This anklet was obviously the same style as the ones worn by Zhu Xiaoqi and Xiao Baiqiao.

Duan Rong suddenly had an idea and gently pressed his hand on the silver anklet, thinking to himself, "Read the spirit of the device."

Object: Silver anklet

Spirit Level: Level 1

Devouring requirements: Host's mental strength level 1 (satisfied)

Devour Effect: Cloud Snake Step Mastery

Duan Rong looked at the data in front of him and was secretly delighted. "It's the mastery level of Cloud Snake Step!"

Duan Rong sucked Xiao Yu's calf while pressing his hand on the silver anklet, saying inwardly, "Swallow!"
