The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world.

Chapter 560: Differences from the original
"Brother Lian!" Yang Kaitai came out to greet him.

"Brother Yang!" Lian Chengbi bowed and said with a smile.

There were many other people following Yang Kaitai to greet them.

Master Tieyi and Master Tieku of Shaolin Temple, Master Huiming of White Horse Temple, Master Yixin of Baozhu Temple, and Master Duning of Qinglong Zen Monastery.

Situ Zhongping, who was as steady as a rock, brought with him the twelve chief escort chiefs from the seventy-two affiliated escort agencies. Together with Lu Shiheng, there were thirteen chief escort chiefs in total.

There is also Liu Yongnan, the eldest son of Master Liu Sanye, the Furong swordsman. Next to him is a capable man, who is Peng Pengfei, the chief escort of the Wansheng Escort Agency in Ji Zhong and also the Wansheng Golden Knife.

Peng Pengfei smiled and said, "Mr. Liu and I are old friends. I heard that Mr. Liu was accompanying you here, so I came to help as well."

Liu Yongnan smiled proudly, feeling very proud.

Situ Zhongping and the other chief escorts nearby were also very happy. After all, one more person meant more strength. Although the Wansheng Escort Agency was not among the 72 affiliated escort agencies, the reputation of the Wansheng Golden Knife was not weak either.

So they all have a good attitude towards Liu Yongnan and Peng Pengfei.

Of course, Lian Chengbi's name is more famous.

The martial arts prodigy, the Immaculate Young Master, the leader of the Six Gentlemen of the martial arts world, the head of the most prestigious family in Jiangnan...

Even according to the most conservative estimate, Lian Chengbi's martial arts skills are already top-notch in the martial arts world. There are no more than ten people who can defeat him, and they are either leaders of major sects or famous martial arts masters.

So after hearing that Lian Chengbi was coming to visit, everyone came out to greet him.

Therefore, the Shaolin elder with the highest status at the scene also treated Lian Chengbi with courtesy.

Lian Chengbi met the Shaolin elders and several high monks, and exchanged greetings with escort leaders such as Situ Zhongping. Then he stood in the C position with Yang Kaitai and was welcomed into the main hall of Lengxiang Garden by everyone.

"Brother Yang, this escort trip is quite big, eight million taels of silver. It must have taken a full month just to prepare, right?" Lian Chengbi said with a smile.

In his previous life, he worked for an escort agency. The Red Flag Escort Agency had eighteen escort agencies in eighteen cities in the Central Plains. However, since its establishment thirty years ago, the Red Flag Escort Agency had never received a large escort mission worth more than one million taels of silver.

"It took more than a month." Yang Kaitai sighed, "The last batch of 300,000 taels of silver was just transported from Shuzhong."

Lian Chengbi smiled and said, "Then I came here by chance?"

"It's a coincidence indeed." Yang Kaitai said, "In fact, we plan to take a day off today and set off tomorrow."

Situ Zhongping continued, "We have already sent people to explore the way. Let's set off early and try not to give the bandits who are planning to take over this escort mission time to prepare."

Lian Chengbi laughed dumbly, "I heard that there are many bandits eyeing this escort mission?"

Even Situ Zhongping, who was as steady as a rock, felt a little uneasy at this moment. "More than a few, this escort mission has attracted almost all the bandits in the northern land. I heard that the horse bandits outside the Great Wall have disguised themselves and entered the country."

The Huashan Sect, the local tyrant in Guanzhong, has all returned to the mountain. They have no interests involved and are not prepared to get involved in this mess. This shows the power of the Green Forest Sect this time.

Lian Chengbi smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? They have the Northern Green Forest, and we are as stable as a rock."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, even Situ Zhongping couldn't help but smile a little, then he immediately regained his seriousness and said, "Hero Yang trusted me and entrusted me with this mission. With the money for this convoy, Situ dare not neglect it for a moment. I must make sure to prepare everything and send this convoy to Jiayuguan safely."

Yang Kaitai bowed to Situ Zhongping.

Master Tieyi clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice, "Master Situ is very experienced. If there is anything we can do along the way, please feel free to tell us."

Situ Zhongping responded hurriedly, "Several masters are highly skilled in martial arts, and they are accompanied by the Eighteen Arhats of Shaolin. As long as they sit in the central army, they can intimidate the villains." "What's more, the Immortal Couple is also here. Even if the world-famous Xiao Shiyilang takes action himself, he will surely not end up well." Situ Zhongping said in a gentle voice.

Everyone exchanged a few words of business and then dispersed.

Yang Kaitai personally brought Lian Chengbi and Shen Bijun to a courtyard in the garden. "I didn't expect that this escort mission would attract so many bandits. Thank you, Brother Lian, for your help. I am very grateful."

"Brother Yang, you are too polite." Lian Chengbi said with a smile, "It would be fine if I didn't come to the northwest, but since I am going to Jiayuguan and I know about Brother Yang's affairs, I will naturally not stay out of it."

Yang Kaitai thanked him repeatedly, patting his chest and saying, "Brother Lian, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell me!"

Lian Chengbi smiled and said, "Is money easy to talk about?"

"Ahem!" Yang Kaitai coughed twice, his face turned red, and he said "Okay" in a tough tone, then looked up at the sky.

"Well...it's getting late. I'll go to the kitchen to see how the dinner is prepared. The waiter from the garden will bring dinner over in due time."

Yang Kaitai said this, then left in a hurry.

Shen Bijun couldn't help laughing, "My grandmother also told me about Yang Kaitai. She said that he was honest and upright, and he kept his promises. But he just couldn't let go of money and was very stingy. I don't know why."

"Because of the education he received since childhood." Lian Chengbi said, "Because his family runs a bank, and he is the only young master of the [Yuanji] bank, so Mr. Yang was worried that he didn't care about money, so he taught him to value money since he was a child."

Shen Bijun was helpless, "But this is not the way to value it, right?"

Lian Chengbi nodded, "The education is biased, but I guess it will be too late to change after they find out."

Shen Bijun smiled and said, "It's obvious."

Yang Kaitai's family education is very good, at least he has no problem in the most important aspects of dealing with people. As for his stinginess when it comes to money, it is not a big deal. At least he is never confused about major issues.

"For example, this time, at least he wasn't so stingy as not to hire an escort agency, right?" Lian Chengbi teased.

Shen Bijun laughed out loud, "He's just stingy, not stupid."

The two rested in the room for a while, changed their clothes, and then toured Lengxiang Garden together.

Although located in Guanzhong, Lengxiang Garden was built in the south of Chang'an City, using spring water from Mount Zhongnan to form this thousand-acre garden.

The garden has winding corridors, flowing springs, thick tiles and deep eaves, and has a unique northern style and charm, which is different from the gardens of Qi and Lu and the gardens of Jiangnan.

"Guanzhong has a profound history and its architectural style is majestic and solemn. It really lives up to its reputation," said Shen Bijun.

Lian Chengbi said, "I heard that the former site of Lengxiang Garden was the Shanglin Garden of the Han Dynasty, and the structure was specially imitated from the Han Dynasty. I don't know if it's true or not."

The two of them were strolling and chatting, and then they saw Liu Yongnan coming out from the corridor in front. When he saw them, his eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.

Behind him, another person walked out from the corridor. It was Peng Pengfei. He politely bowed to Lian Chengbi from a distance and then left.

"Mr. and Mrs. Xian are also visiting the garden?" Liu Yongnan said with a smile, "I came a few days earlier, can I introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Xian?"

"Mr. Liu, you are too polite." Lian Chengbi refused calmly, "My husband and I are just taking a walk and talking about family matters, so please don't bother us."
