Chapter 308 God of Wealth Inn
In the past two years, he has made a name for himself in Pinggu County. Everyone knows that he has many friends who are the heads of the escort agencies in the world. He has also captured the thief Ji Wuming. Now that the male and female evil spirits have appeared, those who have been tormented by them will naturally look for this master with a good reputation.

“Don’t worry, everyone. If I catch the male and female evil spirits, I will make sure they give everyone an explanation.” Shen Qingzhou comforted everyone.

In fact, everyone knows that these two evil spirits make people panic, but it has not yet reached the point of fear.

The most frightening thing about these two people is that they act strangely and no one knows what they are going to do, but they really haven’t done anything destructive.

Shen Qingzhou also knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the male and female evil spirits would come to the Tongfu Inn, so he planned to wait for them during this period of time.

However, looking at this frightened Thief Saint, he was really speechless, but he could understand it to some extent. Bai Yutang was also a master in the world. Even though he had mastered the Golden Bell Cover to perfection, he might not be able to do anything to Bai Yutang. His lightness skills were too strong.

Bai Yuting is also a veteran in the underworld. He probably does this because he is afraid that his peaceful life will be disrupted. He really wants to quit the underworld.

Bai Yuting looked at Shen Qingzhou, who was sitting at the head of the long table. Although everyone called him Little Shen or Shen Biaotou, he knew that this young man had been causing him more and more pressure in the past two years.

He looked at the changes in the opponent’s body shape, from that fierce young man who was obviously a master, to the current Shen Qingzhou who had almost no external expression. Either his martial arts were wasted, or his martial arts had greatly improved.

But the opponent’s behavior certainly did not mean that his martial arts had been wasted. At Tongfu Inn, three months after Li Dazui stepped down as captain, Captain Zhao from the Weiwu Escort Agency in Pinggu County came to Qixia Town in person.

On the surface, he just wanted to settle down, but in fact, he saw that there was no one to protect the escort agencies in the world, so he wanted to recruit them. Before, because of Lao Shen’s face, he would have accepted the escort agencies to just run errands and earn some money. But later, they started to grow and grab business, so this was different.

That is, when Li Xiu Lian was there, the escort agency did not take the other party’s powerful skills seriously, but they had to tolerate his identity.

He also had to investigate Ji Wuming’s case, and only came here after knowing that Shen Qingzhou had taken advantage of the situation.

He also had to make sure that Li Dazui would not be reinstated, intending to give Shen Qingzhou’s Tianxia Escort Agency a warning. Then, on this very table, Shen Qingzhou used his bare hands to grab the two solid iron balls that Chief Escort Zhao had on his plate, leaving finger marks on them, which made his face change drastically.

At that time, Chief Escort Zhao was treating his brothers worse than his brothers. He had traveled far and wide, had bowed his head to the mountain strongholds, and had bent his back to the masters. He would not be ungrateful.

Shen Qingzhou’s Iron Palm Skill had already reached perfection at that time, except that it had not yet been combined into the Thirteen Guardians’ Golden Bell Cover. Otherwise, it would have been even more terrifying.

Shen Qingzhou was attracted by the system’s prompt. With one more day’s internal strength, he also had a deep understanding of the Thirteen Guardians’ Golden Bell Cover. It seemed that this kung fu was really unique to the Qian family.

The normal Thirteen Taibao’s horizontal training is composed of three parts: internal force, moves, and horizontal training method. It is two systems with the Golden Bell Cover. Although people in the martial arts world often talk about the Iron Shirt and the Golden Bell Cover together, they are indeed two methods.

It’s unknown which talented person in the Qian family combined the Golden Bell Cover and the Thirteen Guardians’ Horizontal Training to create this kind of martial arts.

Shen Qingzhou actually also has flaws. His defense is now extremely strong, and he finally knows the difference between body-building skills and defensive skills. His original body’s defense was strong because his qi and blood were too abundant. Now his defense is strong because of his skin and bones, even the fat itself has a high defense.

The so-called various iron skills practiced by the Thirteen Guardians are all methods of training, not methods of attack. However, they can be compensated for slowly. With defense, there will be a sense of security.

The Qian family will definitely not pass on their internal strength techniques and moves casually. That is the foundation of their existence. Changquan is enough for the time being.

……

The third night.

“I care about the people.” A farce was staged at the door of Tongfu Inn. Tong Xiangyu wanted Lao Xing to stay and take care of Tongfu Inn. She even settled the bill with him to keep him. If not, she would pay him extra money. Lao Xing had a habit of taking advantage of others.

Old Xing still left, and the Tongfu Inn closed its doors, but two people in night clothes appeared on the roof. If you look more carefully, you can even see female features.

As the two people talked, they also talked about the bad things they did with good intentions, but at this time they were completely unaware that this time they were going to deal with Tongfu Inn.

“You two, the whole Qixia Town is in a state of panic, and everyone is in danger. I see that although you took action, no one was killed. Come with me to apologize. Is that okay?” A voice came over, and the two men were startled and saw another person appear on the roof.

“You are in the same group as them, overwhelming us.” Suddenly, one of them raised his hands and used Guo Furong’s family-inherited Jingtao Palm. Although she had only practiced to the second level, ordinary petty thieves were no match for her. Otherwise, she would not have been able to come here safely from the capital.

“Yeah.” Guo Furong had prepared herself for the possibility of missing the hit, but when she saw Shen Qingzhou trying to take it with his body, she felt happy.

Shen Qingzhou concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, running his skills with all his strength, and then with a bang, both palms landed on Shen Qingzhou’s chest, making a loud noise.

“My hand.” However, Guo Furong was not happy at all. Tears were about to fall from her face. It was as if her hands had hit an iron plate. She did not hurt anyone, but instead injured herself.

Shen Qingzhou also felt a little numb in his chest, but that was it. He grabbed a long sword that suddenly appeared with his palm and made direct contact with the blade. The opponent’s martial arts would not be too high, so he dared to do this.

This is another person. As the sword blade was caught by Shen Qingzhou, he could no longer pull it out. In this regard, Shen Qingzhou said that he was very lucky to be here.

With a turn of her palm, Xiaoqing was forced to let go of the sword. If she didn’t, her arm would be broken. She kicked Shen Qingzhou’s vital parts with one leg. This girl was quite cruel.

At the same time, Guo Furong endured the pain. Now that things had come to this, this was not the time to be pretentious. Shen Qingzhou was putting too much pressure on her.

Shen Qingzhou felt the joking attacks from the two women. The most dangerous thing was Xiaoqing’s sword, which was a sharp weapon.

After just a few rounds of fighting, Xiaoqing and Guo Furong were completely unable to defeat Shen Qingzhou and were captured directly.

Naturally, there would be no such thing as Guo Furong visiting Tongfu Inn at night and being captured. When he knocked on the door of the inn, what others saw was the male and female brakes being captured.

Everyone in the inn was a little bit incredulous. These were the male and female evil spirits. Looking at the night clothes, they were really scared.

Bai Yuting breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to Shen Qingzhou’s intervention, otherwise, he would have to deal with these two thieves.

Either the plot has inertia, it was not the inn that caught him, but it did not affect the plot. Guo Furong and Xiaoqing knew that what they did in Qixia Town during this period were all considered evil by everyone. The next day, she thought about it all night and decided to stay to make amends. Xiaoqing didn’t say anything, so she went back to inform the master.

Guo Furong also knew who had captured her. It was the head of the Tianxia Escort Agency who had a good reputation. He was also a rare person that she was not going to deal with. She had inquired about things on weekdays and found that this head of the escort agency, Shen, had done a lot of things and was indeed a good person.

Shen Qingzhou has made many friends in the past few years, and his efforts to help those in need have been effective.

The male and female evildoers were captured by Shen Biaotou. There was no need to worry about the follow-up matters. After Guo Furong apologized to everyone, she stayed to work. When she found out that she only earned two cents a month and had to work for twenty years to pay off her debts, she wanted to run away, but was acupunctured by Bai Zhantang.

Guo Furong then realized that not only was the escort leader tough and thick-skinned, but there were also some minor experts in the inn.

In the following days, she caused a lot of trouble. She just didn’t want to work. Finally, she was encouraged by Tong Xiangyu and really wanted to do her job well.

However, the good times did not last long, and she started to pretend to be sick. Pretending to be sick did bring her good treatment, as she had never suffered at home.

In order to pretend to be sick, he endured Lao Bai’s treatment, and Shen Qingzhou, who was considered a capable person by the Seven Heroes Town, was invited to see what was going on.

Shen Qingzhou thought about it and thought that this should be a case of pretending to be sick. He didn’t get too involved because he had other important things to do. Anyway, everyone would be able to handle it.

There is another thing. Old Xing took a young man to find Shen Qingzhou and asked him to take care of his apprentice. He brought Yan Xiaoliu out.

On this day, he completed a convoy crossing Taiping Mountain. He personally escorted the convoy and gained two days of golden bell internal force.

In fact, Shen Qingzhou has always had much more time than the average martial arts master, mainly because he does not need to practice martial arts, which is an advantage many people cannot match. Even his current shortcoming is internal strength. Although his skills are perfect, internal strength needs time to accumulate. After perfection, the internal strength can circulate on its own. Although it is not as fast as moving it by oneself, the advantage is that it can run 24 hours a day.

Back to the escort agency, nowadays, it has changed a lot. It is not just the facade of the original one. This is a new one. After getting rid of the small mountain stronghold, they received the bounty. The government office has always offered a bounty, and they also exchanged the value of the small mountain stronghold itself for a large courtyard, which is worth more than three hundred taels.

The main reason was that he arrived too late. The village was well-informed and he failed to stop everyone. Some people still escaped. By the time he caught up with them, many valuables had been taken away.

Outside the gate of the escort agency, there were seven or eight carriages parked in a neat row. Entering the gate of the escort agency, there was a martial arts training ground filled with weapon racks. The only pity was that there were not so many people.

The courtyard has two entrances. The front one is for meeting guests and practicing martial arts. The back one is not big and is where the porters rest and stay.

This is what he has achieved in the past few years. In fact, the escort agency did not make much money, and it mainly operated in the county.

“Captain Shen, I am sorry to bother you.” A man dressed in official clothes, holding two iron balls in one hand, bowed and said when he saw Shen Qingzhou returning.

“Captain Zhao, long time no see. I wonder if we have any important business to discuss.” Shen Qingzhou bowed. This was the Chief Zhao of the Weiwu Escort Agency who was scared away by him a year and a half ago.

Weiwu Escort Agency is the largest escort agency in Pinggu County. They had sent someone to inform them that Chief Escort Zhao had something to discuss with them, and he had come on his own initiative. But what was it? The two men didn’t have much friendship.

“Okay, Captain Shen, I wonder if you know the manager of Hengyang Lu’s Bank.” said Captain Zhao.

“We have never had the chance to meet.” Shen Qingzhou just looked at him pretending to be mysterious and didn’t ask any questions. “You are looking for me, so you are anxious.”

However, he knew about the Lu family business. In the entire Ming Dynasty, although it was not as powerful as the Jiangnan Hua family, Wan Sanqian and other commercial giants, it was still quite wealthy. Shen Qingzhou had certainly heard of it. The most important thing was that he realized from the way the Lu family was named that it was the family of Lu Sanjin of the Longmen Escort Agency in later generations.

Hengyang is the superior city of Pinggu County and also had a great reputation in the Ming Dynasty. This was probably because it was a big city near the headquarters of Hengshan Sect, one of the Five Great Sword Sects.

“Haha, the reason I came here this time is actually to invite Escort Chief Shen. The Lu family has a dart that is going to be sent to the frontier thousands of miles away. I know that Escort Chief Shen is a high martial arts expert, so I specially come to invite the Tianxia Escort Agency and my Mighty Escort Agency to work together to capture this dart.” Escort Chief Zhao said.

“Beyond the Great Wall.” Shen Qingzhou had never been so far away. Currently, the farthest place he had been to while escorting a convoy was Hengyang, which was more than 300 kilometers away.

As for the word “outside the Great Wall”, it is an adjective, not a thousand kilometers. It seems that the Lu family paid a lot of money, otherwise Chief Escort Zhao would not have sought cooperation with him.

Next, he learned some information. Chief Escort Zhao did not hide it from him. It turned out that there was a God of Wealth Inn outside the Great Wall. A treasure competition would be held in a few days. The Lu family selected a pair of luminous pearls and wanted to participate.

In the words of Chief Escort Zhao, they didn’t intend to stand out, they simply wanted to increase exposure. As long as they showed up at the treasure hunting conference, it was normal for the price to rise sharply.

For this escort mission, the Lu family paid two thousand taels of silver as escort fees, showing their sincerity.

This is a lot. Shen Qingzhou has been here for so many years, and even though the system rewards him with silver, he has not earned this much in total. Don’t look at movies and TV dramas where tens of thousands of taels of silver and gold are common, it is difficult to do so in reality.

Judging from the route, although it is heading outside the Great Wall, there are not many dangers inside the Great Wall. The most dangerous place is the God of Wealth Inn, where many people from the martial arts world gather. There is nothing to be afraid of in the inn, but there is the fear that after the treasure is exposed, someone will ambush and kill you on the way, and it will be a bit dangerous to return to the city.

After seeing off Chief Escort Zhao, Shen Qingzhou agreed to the joint escort mission two days later. It was time for him to make a name for himself.

The escort agency is different from other industries. You don’t have to work your way up from weak to strong. Once you protect a big escort, you will gain trust.

In fact, if Tianxia Escort Agency was not short-staffed, Shen Qingzhou would have planned to go alone. But at this moment, he really had to cooperate with Weiwu Escort Agency. He planned to take only three people with him, leaving three or four behind to continue running errands in Pinggu County. He couldn’t just close the door for a while, that’s not how business is done.

“Everyone, I’m going on a long journey this time, and my family still hopes that you can take care of me. I’ll do it first, and you can do whatever you want.” A powerful voice sounded, causing Bai Yuting, who was serving the dishes, to pause. This internal strength was already very good.

“Of course, Chief Shen, don’t worry. With me, Old Xing, here, you don’t have to worry about anything.” Old Xing likes to brag, but he really speaks the truth. The long table at the entrance of Tongfu Inn is already full of people.

These are all the connections Shen Qingzhou has made over the years. After he leaves, at least the escort agency can be guaranteed to operate normally.

Two days later, they set out on the journey to the outside of the Great Wall.

(I wrote a few hundred more words, free of charge, to make up for it. I’m sorry everyone)
