Immortals Step into Heaven

Chapter 10 Yu Cheng

They are Hongzhou, Youzhou, and Yunlan Kingdom. The capital is Youzhou, and to reach Youzhou, one must pass through Yunzhou City, then through Hongzhou. Above the first-rate are innate masters. Very few people can reach the innate realm, and most of these masters are in Yunzhou City. Yucheng is too remote.

Yucheng gradually appeared in front of Zheng Yuan. The city wall was more than ten feet high. There were three soldiers standing on each side of the city gate to maintain public order. There were also five or six soldiers on the city wall. The city gate could accommodate two carriages side by side, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

My dear brother, we have had a pleasant chat along the way. We are destined to meet. Would you like to join my Tiger Power Escort Agency? If you join my Tiger Power Escort Agency, you can get two taels of silver per month, which is not a low salary.

One tael of silver is equal to one thousand wen, and two taels of silver is equal to two thousand wen, which is equivalent to the expenses of an ordinary family for half a year. It is indeed not low. However, the life of a bodyguard is not that easy. There are often dangers and sometimes even life has to be lost. This is also considered selling one's life for money.

Of course, this is nothing to Zheng Yuan. Zheng Yuan also needs to know how to get to Yunzhou City.

"Thank you, Brother Liu, for your kindness. I'm willing to join the Tiger Power Escort Agency." Liu Yu's expression lit up, and he laughed heartily. "Come on, little brother, I'll take you to see the Tiger Power Escort Agency." Zheng Yuan followed Liu Yun into the city and came to a large mansion. The plaque on the door read "Tiger Power Escort Agency." The gate was painted red, and two stone lions stood at the entrance.

Two doormen saluted and called out, "Hello, Deputy Escort Liu." He looked incredibly wealthy. He walked through the gate and past a stone screen, revealing a large martial arts arena. A dazzling array of weapons lined both sides, Zheng Yuan was so tempted to touch them that he wanted to try his hand. He crossed the arena and arrived at the lobby.

"Little brother, please sit down for a moment. I'll go talk to the escort leader about your joining the team," Liu Yun gave the order and turned to leave.

"Okay, Brother Liu, you go ahead," Zheng Yuan replied. Not long after, Brother Liu came in with a man in his forties wearing a brocade robe and smiling. Zheng Yuan also stood up and looked at the man.

Liu Yun introduced, Zheng Yuan, little brother, this is Chief Li from my Yucheng Huwei Escort Agency.

Zheng Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I, Zheng Yuan, greet Chief Escort Li." The other party looked at Zheng Yuan and said, "You are the one brought by Lao Liu, right? Good! I will ask Lao Liu to arrange a place for you to stay and collect your salary from the escort agency!" After that, he left.

Zheng Yuan was a little surprised when he heard the chief escort's words! Is this escort agency really that good? They're being paid before they even start working. But after thinking about it, it made sense. Who would want to do this kind of hard-earned business without any benefits?

Liu Yun took Zheng Yuan to receive the salary from the escort agency, two sets of clothes from the escort agency, one or two taels of silver, a book on Tiger Fierce Sword Technique, and a knife, and then took Zheng Yuan to a place to live and arranged a room for him.

"Little brother, you should rest first! Remember to gather at the martial arts field tomorrow morning. I'm leaving first." "Okay, thank you, Brother Liu. Brother Liu, you've taken so much trouble." After Liu Yun left.

Zheng Yuan closed the door. "This house is nice, not big but suitable." He put Xiao Hei down and took out a spirit stone from his storage bag and handed it to Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei's eyes lit up instantly. He swallowed it in one gulp and found a corner to lie down and sleep.

Zheng Yuan took out the Tiger Fierce Sword Manual and examined it. It was unremarkable, containing only seven techniques with wide-ranging movements. No wonder it was a technique that could be used. However, for Zheng Yuan, who had never practiced martial arts before, it was like nectar. He took out his sword and began practicing. After dozens of repetitions, he was quite proficient in it.

He stopped and sat on the bed to rest for a while, then he heard a knock on the door. Zheng Yuan opened the door and saw a pretty girl of seventeen or eighteen years old wearing maid clothes, carrying food.

Master Zheng, this is the meal prepared for you at home, said the maid with a smile.

Zheng Yuan happily took the food and said, "Thank you, young lady, for bringing the food to me. I'm a little hungry."

"Sir, you're welcome. This is my duty. Please enjoy your meal," Zheng Yuan said, smiling as he left. Zheng Yuan closed the door and placed the food on the table. The dish looked delicious. Zheng Yuan ate half and left the other half for Xiao Hei when he woke up. Seeing that Xiao Hei was still asleep, Zheng Yuan took out a spirit stone from his storage bag and began to practice the Earth Spirit Technique.

The next morning, Zheng Yuan woke up and saw that Xiao Hei had already eaten all the food on the table. He told Xiao Hei to stay in the room and wait for him to come back.

Zheng Yuan put on the clothes he had received yesterday, walked out of his room, closed the door, and went to the martial arts field. He saw many people already there, about fifty or so, all practicing their martial arts. Some practiced spears, some practiced swords, but the majority were practicing swords, and judging by the moves, they were using the Tiger Fierce Sword Technique.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Yuan was a little surprised! This Huwei Escort Agency is quite interesting. It seems that I have made the right choice.

Putting his thoughts aside, Zheng Yuan took out a knife from the weapon rack and started practicing the Tiger Fierce Sword Technique. An hour later.

Liu Yun, Chief Escort Li, and another escort leader came to the Daowu Field together. He should also be a deputy escort leader. Everyone stopped and watched the three of them arrive.

When Liu Yun saw Zheng Yuan in the crowd, he smiled and nodded, and Zheng Yuan responded in the same way.

Chief Escort Li walked through the middle of the martial arts field and said loudly to all escorts, "In ten days, there will be an escort mission to Yunzhou City. The reward is ten taels of silver. We need thirty escorts. Who is willing to go?"

As soon as everyone heard this, they began to whisper to each other, saying that the journey to Yunzhou City was long, nearly 5,000 miles, and there were many dangers on the way. It would take at least several months, and many people did not want to go.

When Chief Escort Li saw this, he immediately said that he would give the reward of ten taels of silver on the day of departure, and another ten taels upon reaching Yunzhou City, for a total of twenty taels.

When Zheng Yuan heard this, he smiled inwardly. He was indeed worthy of being the chief escort. He was really serving people according to the situation!

Many people were tempted when they heard the twenty taels, which was a year's salary. Soon, ten people stood up and expressed their willingness to go.

It is true that people die for money and birds die for food! Soon another person stood up, and Zheng Yuan followed suit.

Liu Yun saw Zheng Yuan step out of the line and shook his head slightly at him.

Zheng Yuan smiled slightly, feeling quite grateful to Brother Liu, but he had to go to Yunzhou City.

Soon 30 people gathered, registered the names of those who were going, and then everyone dispersed.

Brother Liu walked up to Zheng Yuan with a somewhat grim expression and said, "Little brother, you are impulsive. This escort trip costs a lot of money, but the journey is long and it is not that easy."

Thank you for your concern, Brother Liu. I also want to go to Yunzhou City. Zheng Yuan said apologetically, Brother Liu, are you free today?

"I don't have anything to do today. Do you need me for something?" Liu Yun asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Zheng Yuan smiled and said, it’s nothing big, it’s just that Brother Liu takes good care of me, so I want to treat you to a drink.

You are quite cunning boy. If you spend all the silver you received yesterday, your life will be difficult in the future!
