Beast

The poisonous sun evaporated the moisture from the soil on the official road, and the dozen flaming green-maned horses trampled on it, causing hot dust to fly, choking pedestrians to cough repeatedly and cast dissatisfied looks at the horse team escorting the escort.

Yang Qing's chest felt tight and his heart was irritable. The turbid air around him made his face covered with dust. Despite his gentle personality, he could not help frowning at this time and showing dissatisfaction. However, he was not irritated by such trivial matters.

He glanced impatiently and moved towards the low tree beside the official road. He waited for the escort cavalry to pass by before continuing on his way.

"law……"

The speed of the escort horse team slowed down, and several men with bare arms gently tightened the reins in their hands. The Tengyan green-maned horses neighed, and they all stood still, without any disorder, and happened to stop next to Yang Qing.

.

Yang Qing's expression remained unchanged. He frowned and looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the horse with his back straight. The middle-aged man looked at Yang Qing condescendingly, regardless of the wound that was still bleeding.

The atmosphere was a bit solemn. The passers-by sitting in the shade of the trees saw that something was not going well and stayed away. After standing still, they blocked the dazzling sunlight with their hands and waited to watch the excitement.

Yang Qing was puzzled, and even a little angry. He had been having a bad time these days, and if the other party took the initiative to stir up trouble, he would not be lenient. Thinking of this, he looked at the entire cavalry team carefully.

There were sixteen Tengyan Green Mane Horses, carrying a total of twelve people, and four people were lying on the backs of the horses, with more air coming out and less air coming in, and they were seriously injured. The iron boxes of the two carriages were heavy in weight and were strong on the official road.

There are already half-inch deep ruts on the road surface.

The carriage with people in it was covered by curtains, and the situation inside could not be seen. It must be the employer of this escort.

The two of them stared at each other without blinking, and ten breaths had passed. Both the other escorts and pedestrians were watching silently. Although they were confused, they did not dare to disturb them.

Yang Qing had no fear in his heart, and was still looking forward to a happy beating. He inadvertently looked at the middle-aged man with slightly provocative eyes. This middle-aged man looked about forty-five or six years old, with messy buns, bronze skin, and steady but not serious eyebrows.

Losing sharpness, the face is wrinkle-free, but it is bleak but unyielding.

"Cheng is so rude, dare I ask you about your title?" The middle-aged man turned over and dismounted, clasped his hands in his fists, laughed, and asked cheerfully. His violent movement caused the wound on his chest to burst open, and the warm blood soaked the bandage bright red.

, without frowning.

"I don't dare, my younger brother's name is Yang Mingqing. May I ask the bodyguard for any advice?" Yang Qing was stunned. His preparations for a fight were useless. The other party treated him politely, but it was hard to show off his face. He smiled gently, and then said in a kind tone.

.

"If you don't take the advice seriously, I will call you brother Yang." The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, and seeing that Yang Qing's expression did not change, he continued, "Cheng saw that my steps are steady and nimble, even in such a hot weather.

I’m still sweating, I guess I’m pretty skilled too.”

"I've been practicing for a few years and it's not worth mentioning. Please let me know if you have anything to do, bodyguard." Yang Qing already had a clue in his mind, so he stopped complimenting each other and continued to ask without changing his tone.

"Since Brother Yang is so cheerful, Mr. Cheng won't be polite anymore. Here's what happened..." The middle-aged man laughed heartily, waved to the cavalry team, and then stated the purpose of the trip in detail.

The middle-aged man was Cheng Wanliang, the head escort of the Xingyuan Escort Bureau. The escort encountered a group of robbers on the way while escorting a batch of goods. He didn't know which hill they came from. They were quite skilled. The two sides fought hard. On the side of the Xingyuan Escort Bureau,

Two people had their heads dislocated, and four people were seriously injured. Except for the employer and his wife, everyone else was seriously injured. The robbers also suffered casualties and retreated for the time being.

It was a good thing that the goods were not lost in this fight. How could several people from the Xingyuan Escort Agency pursue them? Not to mention whether they had the strength or not, they were even more worried about being lured away from the mountain. As they walked quickly along the way, the injuries of each of the escorts became more and more serious.

Fearing that the robbers would come back again, they stopped halfway to discuss the matter with Yang Qing in detail.

Cheng Wanliang saw that Yang Qing walked lightly and vigorously, except for the three-inch short hair, which looked a little sloppy. He was full of energy, but he was dressed as a warrior. This showed that he was capable, so he wanted to invite him to accompany the cavalry. This time the escort came down and gave him two

Ten taels of silver as reward.

Yang Qing would not take the initiative to participate in such a fight in the rivers and lakes. There is no right or wrong in walking in the rivers and lakes, and no one will be wronged if he dies. But now that he is close to the ground, he can't help but think about it.

"If Brother Yang is afraid of being killed, you can refuse. Cheng will never force you," Cheng Wanliang said boldly and loudly, and passers-by couldn't help but look at him with side eyes.

Yang Qing smiled nonchalantly in his heart. Although he was often reckless in his actions, he was not unsophisticated, so he could naturally hear the motivation.

"Since Brother Cheng has given me the compliment, I will accept it," Yang Qing said clearly and clasped his fists without hesitation.

Yang Qing is penniless and has spent the night in the wild for more than ten days. Although he doesn't care, who doesn't want to be more comfortable? This is one of them, and the most important point is that these old people with rich experience in survival in the world can follow them.

A trip to escort will definitely benefit you a lot.

"Haha, it's so refreshing!" Cheng Wanliang looked happy, patted Yang Qing's shoulder hard, and said with a smile.

The rest of the escorts came forward to greet him warmly, and even those who could not get off their horses waved. The employer then stepped out of the carriage, his face gray, and he was obviously too shocked by the fight to recover.

The employers, Yu Yashan and his wife, were approaching forty. They were dressed in rich clothes and gold ornaments. Their expressions did not soften at this time. When they saw someone joining them, they all greeted them eagerly.

Seeing a young man like Yang Qing who is not as good as the weakest, I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

Yu Yashan was fat, with a fat head, big ears, and a big belly. He struggled to climb onto the carriage, sighing and thinking in his heart, "Hey, if you don't have the strength, just make do with it. At least there are many people to support you."

Yang Qing felt the change in Cheng Wanliang's expression. The woman held her forehead and sighed sadly. She didn't take it seriously and got on her horse.

The Tengyan Green Mane Horse has a broad back and is equipped with a saddle. Sitting on it is stable, and the four hooves are moved without any bumps. Watching the movements of others, I have begun to master the essentials of riding a horse.

Along the way, Yang Qing learned that this batch of goods was to be escorted to Fengtai Town, just north of Yuehu City. Cheng Wanliang did not know what the goods were and could not be interfered with.

Everyone had to settle down in Yuehu City first, deal with their injuries, and recuperate before moving on. With the addition of Yang Qing, the atmosphere of the cavalry team became a little more relaxed. The group of people talked about everything in the world. Yang Qing knew very little.

Neng Gan listened and although he didn't interrupt, he never felt bored.

The speed of the Tengyan Green Mane Horse was not slow. In more than an hour, the horse team arrived outside Yuehu City. Yuehu City was particularly lively today. There were also more ordinary people, all of whom were pouring in. Very few people left the city.

After Cheng Wanliang inquired, he found out that today, tomorrow and the next three days are the Lotus Flower Festival, and taking advantage of the grand occasion of the Lotus Flower Party, Yanyu Tower held the annual oiran selection. This was the reason why the streets of Yuehu City were empty.

Cheng Wanliang didn't want to enter the city when he saw the hustle and bustle of Yuehu City, so he just sent a few people to grab some gold-creating medicine. However, when Yu Yashan and his wife heard that there was a flower party and oiran selection, they wanted to enter the city no matter what, and they even had to pay the entry fee for the troops.

All paid in advance.

Seeing his employer's insistence, Cheng Wanliang felt a little annoyed but also helpless. He also saw that his men were seriously injured, so it was better to go to the city for treatment. At this point, a group of people rushed into the city with a roar.

The entrance fee to the city increased with the flower party, and Yu Yashan was quite heartbroken, but he had said the words, and regretting it at this time was like slapping himself in the mouth. In the end, he took out fifty taels of silver after his wife glared at him.

Yuehu City can be said to be crowded with people. More than a dozen flaming green-maned horses and horses entered the city, which immediately caused strong dissatisfaction. Some even had bad tempers and even cursed. Naturally, Cheng Wanliang would not use swords or guns because of a verbal dispute.

, stumbling and stopping all the way, and when they found the inn, they saw Yang Qing, who was physically strong, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

If Yu Yashan and his wife hadn't immediately climbed into the carriage upon seeing something bad, their clothes would have been torn to pieces by now.

The inn was full, and everyone had to continue searching. After entering Moon Lake City for so long, the flowers were blooming, and all that caught their eyes was the head.

Fortunately, as we went deeper, the crowd became thinner. When we found the seventh inn, we just checked in. We didn't have time to go into the room to watch, put the goods in place, and left a few people to look after us, so we carried the wounded to the hospital.

Yang Qing was a layman in escorting. He wanted to help lift the seriously injured escort, but he was in the way and couldn't help. Otherwise, he would be too heavy-handed and inadvertently kill the bodyguard who was breathing out but not taking in. Yang Qing did not bring him back to life.

ability.

Two carriages of goods were parked in the backyard of the inn. Yang Qing leaned on them numbly, not knowing what he was thinking. Four bodyguards who were not seriously injured sat around the goods and took a nap.

At this moment, Yu Yashan and his wife rushed to the backyard sweating profusely, and shouted loudly before seeing anyone.

Yu Yashan and his wife wanted to go to the flower party, but they were worried about encountering a murderer, so they came here to seek protection from an escort.

The four escorts were injured, and their horses and horses were tired. They were quite dissatisfied with the request of Yu Yashan and his wife, but they had no choice. This escort not only had to protect the goods from being lost, but also kept the employer safe. This was an escort.

of rules.

"The escort, please come with me." Yu Yashan's wife put a thick layer of rouge on her face. When she saw the sweat, the rouge almost turned to mud. She lowered her voice and narrowed her throat to Yang Qing.

said.

"I have to take care of the goods, so I won't go." Yang Qing shrugged, pointed at the goods and said calmly, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Those escorts are all injured and should not move around. Why don't I ask them to accompany me? Their injuries will be serious." The woman's tone remained unchanged and she curled her lips at Yu Yashan.

"It's okay, let's go, Si..." One of the bodyguards sighed in his heart, put away his tired look, and stood up. This movement pulled his wound, causing him to take a breath of cold air in pain.

"I'll go, you guys can have a rest," Yang Qing said helplessly, and followed Yu Yashan and his wife out of the inn.

Yu Yashan walked in front excitedly, but his wife lagged behind. With a smile on his face, he asked Yang Qing where he was, how old he was, and so on. Yang Qing answered every question, and there was no problem.

the woman's interest.

As soon as I walked onto the street, there were more people. After walking for a while, I had to squeeze in and walk. The shouts of various vendors and the noise caused by bumping into each other... And there is still a long way from the place where the flower party is held.

a section of the road.
