Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 57
The next day, Zhao Ya came to the Escort early as usual, intending to go around and meet the head of the Escort, and if there was nothing else to do, he would go home and practice.

But today, as soon as he entered the backyard, he heard someone talking in the house.

"Boss Meng, the fact that our Hong family can offer you this condition is enough to prove our sincerity, so I hope you make a decision as soon as possible, after all, the situation is getting more and more chaotic now, and bandits are rampant outside the city. "

"Even if you have some reputation in the Changlong Escort, it's hard to be alone. You might as well join my Hong family's camp directly, and you can gain hope in this troubled world."

The person who spoke was obviously very eloquent, and he talked eloquently, which was quite seductive.

Zhao Ya, who was standing in the courtyard, felt his heart move when he heard the words.

As one of the three major families in the inner city, the Hong family is very powerful, and used to be the largest client of Changlong Escort.

Judging from what they said now, the Hong family obviously hoped that the Changlong Escort would join their camp.

This matter is related to the future of the entire escort agency, and it is closely related to himself, so Zhao Ya pricked up his ears and listened, wanting to know what the attitude of the head of the escort is.

After a moment of silence, I heard Meng Lei say.

"Thank you, Patriarch Hong, for your kind invitation, but our Changlong Escort Bureau really has no intention of joining any camp. We only want to make a living by our own abilities, so... please forgive me!"

"Okay then, since Boss Meng insists on refusing, then I won't be in any trouble anymore, let's say goodbye!"

Seeing that they couldn't win over, the tone of the speaker became cold and hard, and he got up and said goodbye.

Zhao Ya went to watch under the eaves, and saw three people walking out of the house.

The leader was a middle-aged man with long sleeves and a goatee under his chin, dressed as a scribe.

But Zhao Ya noticed that this person walked steadily, his eyes were bright, and he was at least a second-level warrior.

As for the two people following him, their palms were red and their fingers were short and thick, they should be masters of Iron Sand Palm.

After Zhao Ya watched the three go away, he turned and entered the house.

Meng Lei was sitting on a chair drinking tea at this time, when he saw Zhao Ya coming in, he couldn't help laughing wryly.

"Did you hear it all outside?"

Zhao Ya nodded.

Meng Lei let out a long sigh, "Hey, over the years, I have relied on my strength as a martial artist of the three realms to mediate between various forces, just to avoid getting too involved with one party. With this strategy, our Changlong Escort Bureau has been safe and sound. developed to the present.”

"But I didn't expect to be targeted by the Hong family in the end. Although I rejected it right now, the troubled times have begun, and life for our escort agency will be difficult in the future."

Zhao Ya remained silent.

Because he knew that what Meng Lei said was from his heart.

In this world, power is paramount, even Meng Lei, who is a martial artist of the three realms, is not allowed to be free, and has to carefully deal with all forces in order to seek a balance.

This method may have worked well in the past, but today's increasingly chaotic world still breaks this fragile balance.

"Then will the Hong family stop here?" Zhao Ya asked.

Meng Lei shook his head, "I don't know, but no matter what, they still have to give me the face of a martial artist of the three realms, so I guess they will have to stop for a while after this incident."

Zhao Ya nodded and got up to say goodbye.

At this moment, Meng Lei suddenly asked: "How is your recent entry?"

Zhao Ya didn't dare to say that he had successfully forged the membrane, but said that he was a little bit advanced, but it was still too early to be promoted to the third realm.

After listening, Meng Lei sighed slightly.

"Actually, I also expected this to be the case. After all, the supply of qi and blood pills is cut off now, and the flesh and blood of the alien beasts are gone. Just relying on a little leftover big tonic soup will definitely not be able to meet your cultivation needs. In this kind of It’s pretty good that you can still improve under the circumstances.”

"It's a pity that the situation is eroding too quickly. If the supply of Qi and Blood Pills is sufficient in one year at night, with your talent, you may really have the hope of hitting the three realms. Once you are promoted, there will be two warriors from the three realms sitting in command, even if it is the Hong family. If you want to use the Escort, you have to weigh it."

"It's a pity..." Meng Lei sighed again.

Zhao Ya also felt a little heavy in his heart.

Even according to his current entry, if everything goes well, it is only possible to hit the three realms a year ago.

I don't know if it will be successful or not.

Once the impact fails, you have to accumulate qi and blood again, which will take at least a month longer.

This is also because Zhao Ya has the subtle talent of Shui Gu to be so fast.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have to prepare at least another year of energy and blood after a failed attack.

Moreover, the success rate of the second impact is far lower than the first, and the success rate after the third impact is even negligible.

Therefore, cultivators are very cautious about making a breakthrough, and many people often prepare for three to five years before making a breakthrough.

This also shows how powerful the subtle talent of Mizutani obtained by Zhao Ya is.

After staying for a while, Zhao Ya got up to say goodbye, went to the front yard and chatted with the gangsters for a while, and then returned home.

In the next few days, the situation in Wuxiang City was calm, and everything was as usual except that the price of food had increased a lot.

Zhao Ya's strength is also growing slowly but firmly.

Until this day, the Escort suddenly received a dart, and it was this dart that caused an uproar in the entire Changlong Escort.

The escort was entrusted by the Hong family to escort a batch of goods outside the city.

This is a normal thing, but the key is that the escorted goods and their destinations are very sensitive.

The goods to be escorted are a batch of weapons, and the destination is Wrought Iron Villa.

"I think this dart is a bit strange. Others don't know about our relationship with Wrought Iron Villa. Doesn't the Hong family know about it? And why did they suddenly escort a batch of weapons at this sensitive time?" Lin Sheng said first.

Luo Qiang, who was sitting beside him, also nodded in agreement.

"That's right, I heard that the outside of the city is completely messed up. Qingzhuling, which was not known before, has become a bandit. Weapons, this is indeed a little risky."

Meng Lei listened quietly without saying a word. He didn't look at Zhao Ya until Lin Sheng and Luo Qiang had finished speaking.

"Xiaoya, what do you think of this?"

Zhao Ya sighed, "It's obvious that the Hong family is testing this matter, so I mean not to accept it."

Zhao Ya directly expressed his inner thoughts.

Meng Lei couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, "Why don't I know that this is the Hong family's testing, but if we really don't accept it, then the Changlong Escort's brand will be abolished, and the Hong family will be able to make more money at that time." They openly forced me to join them."

"But the chief escort..." Lin Sheng was about to speak.

Meng Lei waved his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "I know what you want to say, but now the Escort has not made a single transaction for several months, and it has already been unable to make ends meet, so we still have to take this dart. As for the situation you are worried about ...."

"I will personally escort the bodyguards this time. Although the owner of the Wrought Iron Villa is a warrior from the four realms, we are the bodyguards entrusted to escort the goods, and we are not here to fight, let alone the matter of Wei Yu. It was also Wrought Iron Villa who made a mistake first, so it should be fine, as for the bandits along the road..."
