"We're here!" Zhou Yi stood at the door of Wuwei Escort Agency, turned around to look at Guo Nuan, and asked in confusion, "Why are we here at the Escort Agency?"
Guo Nuan walked forward proudly, holding Zhou Yi and walked inside, saying as he walked: "Of course we are here to apply for coolies at the escort agency! Those righteous people would never have thought that a vicious Wudang abandoned disciple who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk would actually become a coolie for escorting!"
Zhou Yi nodded in sudden realization, thinking that the famous Emei female warrior was indeed quick-witted and lived up to her reputation. But a moment later, watching Guo Nuan register, get a number, and queue up with a familiar look, he asked in confusion, "Sister Nuan, why do you seem so skilled?"
"Of course!" Guo Nuan said confidently without even turning his head, "I don't know the way, so it's safer to follow the escort agency as a laborer!"
“… … ..”
The Weiwu Escort Agency is located at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. It is a bitterly cold place with a sparse population. Even though there are the Tianshan Sword Sect, the Tianxia Society and the Lingjiu Palace, three famous underworld forces on the mountain, this place is just a small rural town, and there are even fewer players who are willing to work as laborers here to make money.
Zhou and Guo received their numbers, stood in the courtyard, and looked around. They saw seven or eight people waiting for work. They felt a little strange: "When I usually go to small towns in the countryside to take escorts and do hard labor, there are only one or two people. Why is it so lively here?"
"Maybe it's because of the Ten Sects Martial Competition! Many players gathered at Tianshan, so there are a few more people."
"That's right!" After hearing Zhou Yi's words, Guo Nuan nodded.
After a while, there actually was an escort agency escorting the convoy out, and there were dozens of boxes, large and small. Guo Nuan was secretly amazed, with a gleam in her phoenix eyes: I didn't expect that there would be so many escorts in this rural town!
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
At night, above the mountains and forests.
Zhou and Guo, who successfully infiltrated the Weiwu Escort Agency's escort team, sat back to back under the shade of a towering tree and took a leisurely rest.
The sizzling sound of the barbecue, accompanied by bursts of smoke and the aroma of meat, slowly entered Zhou Yi's ears and nostrils. He turned his head and looked back. Several players from the Weiwu Escort Agency had already lit a bonfire, chatting and laughing while waiting for the meat to cook. "Gurgle gurgle" Zhou Yi suddenly heard a sound of his stomach growling behind him. He suddenly turned around to look at Guo Nuan and laughed.
At this time, Guo Nuan had easily disguised herself in the small town and turned into a "Beggar Gang disciple" like Zhou Yi, wearing tattered clothes and with a dirty face. Looking at Zhou Yi's heartless smile, she kicked him viciously and whispered: "If I hadn't helped you, would this female hero have to starve in this remote place in the middle of the night?" After saying that, she touched her stomach.
But soon, a man who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old among the escorts stood up very enthusiastically, waved to Zhou Yi and the other coolies, and shouted, "Brothers, you've worked hard all day, come over and join us!"
Before Zhou Yi and Guo Nuan had time to think, they were dragged by the man and walked in front of the escorts. The escorts also stood up one by one, greeted the seven or eight coolies, and introduced themselves. The man who led the greeting was Baichuan Guihai, the boss of this mighty escort agency.
After everyone had introduced themselves in a serious manner, it was Zhou Yi's turn.
"My name is..." Zhou Yi thought about it and paused. Considering his current situation where "everyone in the world knows him", he just made up a name, "My name is Wang Zhe." After saying that, he thought of his funny roommate and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
"Azhe! You are so pretty!" A girl who looked innocent and not very old came over and invited him with a blushing face, "Stay next to me. My name is Yue Shan, hehe."
Yue Shan really looked like a good girl, with blushing cheeks and a little shy, she could only glance at Zhou Yi secretly. Seeing this, Guo Nuan, who had easily transformed into a "Beggar Gang disciple", snorted coldly and said, "My name is Guo Yang!"
After everyone got to know each other, they started chatting about everything under the sun. The people at the Weiwu Escort Agency were all very enthusiastic, and everyone quickly became familiar with each other under the influence of this atmosphere.
Soon, the escort agency's second in command, Cook Dingding, divided the roasted meat into more than ten portions, sprinkled seasonings on them, skewered them with special bamboo sticks, and handed them out to everyone.
"Thank you!" Zhou Yi took it and put it to his mouth, then took a bite. It tasted really good, tender and tasty. Guo Nuan, who was standing by, was very surprised and asked, "Second Master, your cooking skills are amazing!"
Pao Dingding touched his head awkwardly and laughed twice. At this time, a big man nearly two meters tall rushed over from behind, hooked Pao Dingding's shoulders, and said, "Miss, you are knowledgeable. My second brother's cooking skills are almost at the master level!"
"Wow!" Zhou Yi on the side exclaimed: "So amazing, I heard that currently in the whole world, only the second daughter of the Murong family, Murong Qiuyue, has a grandmaster-level piano skill!"
"That's not true!" When the tall man heard Murong Qiuyue's name, his eyes suddenly lit up and he took Zhou Yi's hand: "I also heard that the second young lady of the Murong family is so beautiful that she can overwhelm the whole country... If I, Xiao Han, can meet her once, it will be worthwhile for me to come to this "Jianghu"! Hehe!"
"Third brother!" Yue Shan glared at Xiao Han fiercely, "You stinky men! None of you are good! You only know how to like beautiful women! Humph!"
Seeing Yue Shan's angry look, Zhou Yi and Xiao Han looked at each other and laughed out loud at the same time.
"This is top-quality girl's red wine, come and try it. Big brother, bring out some big shots, so my brother Azhe and I can have a few drinks." Xiao Han and Zhou Yi shouted heartily, as if they had met each other too late.
Zhou Yi was about to refuse, but Xiao Han had already placed several large bowls in front of them. Xiao Han poured wine into the bowls and said with a smile, "Brothers, drink some too. Meeting is fate. We are treating Brother Azhe to a drink, and you all have to drink too!"
Zhou Yi thought that he was in a situation where he had "enemies all over the world" and should always stay awake to prevent any accidents. However, seeing that Yue Shan's bowl beside him was also filled with wine, Zhou Yi felt embarrassed if he didn't drink it. And Xiao Han was so enthusiastic, he had to give him some face.
"My brother doesn't know how to drink, drink less." Guo Nuan watched Zhou Yi's wine bowl gradually fill up and overflow, and hurried forward to help. It would have been better if he didn't help pour, but with this help, bowls of wine were slowly being brought to Guo Nuan.
"Brothers, I toast you a glass. Let's drink first!" Xiao Han tilted his head back and gulped down the whole bowl of liquor. He pursed his lips with a "hiss" and gave a thumbs up, praising, "Great! This wine is really delicious!"
Zhou Yi gave Guo Nuan a wry smile and said, "Now I finally understand why the Six Meridians Divine Sword is a bug!" After saying that, he made a bitter face, gritted his teeth, and drank all the wine as if he was drinking poison.
"Good!" Xiao Han, a big drunkard, took the lead in applauding, and others also shouted, "Brother Azhe has a big drinker!" "Brother Azhe has a good alcohol tolerance!" and so on.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded not far away, and in a blink of an eye, a group of big men who came from nowhere surrounded everyone.
Then the people in front of him separated, and a fierce-looking man in shorts came out. He was holding a big knife and had a black eye patch covering his left eye. He was a one-eyed man. His remaining right eye scanned the crowd with murderous intent.
"Hey! You all listen to me, I own this mountain and I own this tree! If you want to pass this way, leave some money for passage!"
When Zhou Yi saw someone robbing the escort, he immediately became nervous. He looked around and found that the head of the escort agency, Bai Chuan Gui Hai, Xiao Han, Yue Shan, Pao Ding Ding and others all looked relaxed and did not show any nervousness as if they were facing robbers. Guo Nuan was even grinning and chewing the chicken wings in her hand!
Zhou Yi was very confused and asked, "Why don't you seem nervous at all when you see the robbers?"
Guo Nuan was chewing chicken wings by himself and ignored Zhou Yi. The head of the escort agency, Bai Chuan Gui Hai, was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "It seems that this is your first time to do this escort mission, brother Yi. It is common to encounter these bandits refreshed by the system on the way! But don't worry, their strength is very average, just watch them!" (To be continued)
