Longevity starts with strengthening the internal organs

"I wonder what uncle means by planning?"

"Haha, Xiaoya, you don't have to pretend to be confused with me. With your intelligence, you can definitely think of the stakes in this matter."

"First of all, the Hong family will definitely not give up. Although you are back, the bodyguard has been lost. The Hong family will definitely make a big fuss about it."

Zhao Ya was also silent after hearing Tan Ziwang's words.

Of course he thought of that.

According to the rules of the escort agency, if the escort is lost, your escort agency must compensate you according to the price.

The key point is that the darts lost this time were a large number of weapons, which were valuable. If they were compensated according to the price, the Changlong Escort Bureau would probably be completely ruined.

Tan Dong couldn't help it at this time and said angrily: "The Hong family has gone too far to deceive others. They had hidden evil intentions when they entrusted us to be escorts, and now they are using this matter to demand compensation. This is not to turn the escort agency into a Are you forced to die?"

"That's right, the Hong family just wants to force Changlong Escort Agency to death, so what can you do?" Tan Ziwang said calmly.

Tan Dong was stunned, and after a moment he said angrily: "If you knew this, you shouldn't have accepted this escort in the first place."

"Haha, do you think it's that simple?" Tan Ziwang sneered, "If I hadn't accepted this escort, the Changlong Escort Agency would have been named Hong by now!"

"It doesn't matter if you accept it, it doesn't matter if you don't accept it. Are the Hong family so domineering?" Tan Dong said.

"Yes, the Hong family is so domineering!" Tan Ziwang sighed.

"Actually, from the moment they sent someone to recruit the Changlong Escort Agency, the outcome was already doomed. Either you would obey their recruitment and be included in the Hong family, or you would accept the escort and be emptied of your family fortune, or you would not accept the escort and be forcibly acquired."

"This is the Hong family's usual style of doing things."

"But why did the Hong family do this?" Tan Dong looked puzzled.

"In terms of money and strength, the Hong family is much better than the Changlong Escort Agency. Why are they keeping an eye on the Changlong Escort Agency?"

"Not only the Changlong Escort Agency, but during the period when you are working as escorts, more than ten escort agencies of various sizes in the outer city have all come under the Hong family's command."

"What? What do they want to do? Monopolize the escort business?" Tan Dong was shocked.

Zhao Ya, who had been silent until now, said calmly: "They don't want to monopolize the escort agency, but they want to monopolize all trade routes outside Wuxiang City."

As soon as these words came out, before Tan Dong could understand, Tan Ziwang clapped his hands and said with admiration.

"Xiao Ya is really thoughtful and his words hit the point."

After saying that, he glared at Tan Dong with hatred, "Did you see it? In the future, learn more from Xiao Ya. Don't just go to Goulan to drink flower wine all day long."

As soon as these words came out, Tan Dong couldn't help but screamed at Chong Tianqu.

"Dad, you have wronged me. Outer City Goulan has been closed down for a long time. Even if I want to drink wine, I have no place to go."

"I can't even think about it."

After scolding, Tan Ziwang looked at Zhao Ya with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Ya, how did you see it?"

"It's very simple. Although the escort agency's profit is good, it is still not good enough compared to the huge size of the Hong family. They will not go to war just for this benefit."

"Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and there is even more chaos outside the city. The official roads are blocked by bandits, and the trade routes are cut off. Under such circumstances, if you want to trade, you can only rely on the escort agency."

"And once all the escort agencies in Wuxiang City are controlled by the Hong family, it will be equivalent to controlling all trade routes. Unless you have the ability to build your own team to trade out of the city, otherwise you must have the Hong family follow suit."

"That's right. This is exactly the intention of the Hong family, so you also understand the fate that Changlong Escort Agency is facing now." Tan Ziwang said.

Zhao Ya was silent.

He believed that not only he understood this, but also the head escort Meng Lei understood it even more, so this was the reason why he had desperately wanted to take this escort trip before.

After all, Changlong Escort Agency has been his hard work for most of his life. If he were to make wedding clothes for others, no one else would be willing to accept it.

But in the end he failed.

After a moment, Zhao Ya looked at Tan Ziwang, "So... the Song family wants to recruit me?"

Tan Ziwang laughed, "It's easy to talk to smart people. Yes, the Song family has this intention, and not only the Song family, but also the Yang family is recruiting troops everywhere."

Zhao Ya understood that at the beginning of the troubled times, the Hong family was so aggressive. The Song family and the Yang family, both of the three major families in the inner city, must have felt the danger, so they were scrambling to accumulate strength.

"I have never mentioned it to you before. I work as a small manager in the Song family. Although my position is not high, I can still speak a few words. So for this recruitment, the first thing I thought of was Xiaoya. you."

"As long as you can join the Song family, the treatment will naturally be the most generous. What do you think?"

After finishing speaking, Tan Ziwang looked at Zhao Ya, wanting to see how he would respond.

To be honest, he sincerely hopes that Zhao Ya can join the Song family. In this way, he will not only complete the task of the head of the family, but also give a boost to the Tan family.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya shook his head and refused after thinking for a moment.

"Uncle, thank you for your kindness, but I have no thoughts of defecting to the inner city just yet."

Tan Ziwang was stunned, "Why?"

After asking, he suddenly thought of something, and sighed: "I know that you have been in the escort agency for many years and have deep feelings. In fact, I am not the same, otherwise I would not let Tan Dong join the escort agency, but now Changlong Escort Agency has collapsed... ….”

"I know." Zhao Ya interrupted Tan Ziwang's words, "I'm not being emotional, it's just that the escort agency has undergone major changes. If I leave at this critical moment, I will feel cold even if others don't tell me."

"Although the escort agency has collapsed, the head escort is still alive. I have to help him finish the matter."

After hearing this, Tan Ziwang took a deep look at Zhao Ya and sighed when he saw his magnanimous eyes.

"Okay, you're right. I'm impatient, and that's exactly what I should be. Let's not talk about it for now."

Then we talked about some other things, and as we talked, we talked about the dried meat of exotic beasts.

"Xiao Ya, the Song family has tightened its control over dried meat some time ago, and even the ghost market has no channels. I guess you don't have any inventory in your hands."

Zhao Ya nodded, "Yes, I can only rely on some ordinary flesh and blood to supplement it."

He did not intend to expose the existence of Buxue Powder.

"Haha, there is another thing about calling you here this time."

As he spoke, Tan Ziwang took out a small box. When he opened it, there were twenty green bamboo snake stems inside.

"This is green bamboo and snake jerky that is several times more powerful than earthworm jerky. It will be of great benefit to you. I left it for you specially."

Tan Ziwang didn't lie.

This time, in order to recruit experts from outside the city, the Song family specially approved a batch of dried meat to win people's hearts. Tan Ziwang naturally got some, and these dried green bamboo snakes were specially left by him for Zhao Ya.

Tan Ziwang also added a special sentence.

"You don't have to worry. Even if you don't plan to join the Song family in the future, it has nothing to do with this dried meat, because this is a gift from me as an elder."
