Chapter 358 - Escort Office Accidents
Just as expected, the Qingcheng Sect's people had come to the Fuzhou.
After Ling Xiao ate a few bites, he placed the paper bag on the stall and said: "I got it, the taste of the sweet potato is indeed good. I suggest that you don't come out again after you return, Fuzhou will be in chaos for at least half a month before you calm down."
With that, Ling Xiao turned and walked away, leisurely heading towards the city gate, leaving behind a man with a puzzled expression. The latter did not linger, and quickly packed his things and left, and very quickly, the streets became empty.
Ling Xiao did not return, but instead, walked towards the city gate.
"Qingcheng Sect, I want to see just what kind of ability you have to dare cause such a commotion." As Ling Xiao felt the desolate environment on the streets, his heart became more and more curious.
This was the capital of the Fujian, so the officials and yamen runners would definitely not allow the Qingcheng Sect to do as he pleased here. However, in a short span of two days, the people of the Qingcheng Sect had come and gone.
From the looks of it, Qingcheng Sect was also prepared to give it a shot.
Arriving at the city gate, Ling Xiao saw that the original guards had disappeared, and there was no trace of the guards on top of the city gate. It seemed that everyone had left, and it was no wonder that the people from the Qingcheng Sect could enter as they pleased.
Looks like the Fuzhou will have a bloody battle very soon.
The reason he came out to wander around Fuzhou City was because he wanted to understand the general structure of Fuzhou and to facilitate his later actions.
It was said that those who knew themselves and knew their opponents had won a hundred battles. The people of Qingcheng Sect must have come early to investigate, otherwise, they would not have entered the Fuzhou City so quickly and directly formed a circle around the two.
After understanding the structure of the Fuzhou City, Ling Xiao finally returned to the Forwey's escort office Headquarters.
But when he turned around the corner, Ling Xiao saw a group of Escort Office servants standing guard at the entrance. There were dozens of them, and the place was completely black, completely blocking the entrance.
These people held weapons in their hands and had serious expressions on their faces as they observed their surroundings. It seemed like they were preparing for something.
After entering, just as Ling Xiao was about to speak, the crowd went into a commotion and made way, from the looks of it, they all knew who Ling Xiao was.
After entering the Escort Office, there was another "hualala" sound. The crowd once again tightly blocked the entrance to the Escort Office.
When Lin Fu, the servant of the Lin Family saw that Ling Xiao had arrived, he hurriedly stepped forward and performed a bow before saying: "Sect Leader Ling, you've finally returned. The Patriarch has already been waiting for a long time."
Looking at Lin Fu, Ling Xiao was surprised. Seems like Lin Fu had been waiting for him to come back.
"You have urgent business with this Seat?" Ling Xiao said as he followed Lin Fu into the mansion.
Lin Fu nodded his head, "That's right, the family head went out early in the morning. He returned about four hours later, and he looked a bit haggard. Although I was a bit anxious, I didn't dare to ask too much.
As a male servant, Lin Fu actually dared to say these things to Ling Xiao. It seemed that he was really concerned about his master.
Ling Xiao slightly nodded and said: "Got it, I will be more concerned about it."
With regards to the request of such a loyal master and servant, Ling Xiao naturally would not reject it. Furthermore, he himself had to ask about it.
Along the way, Ling Xiao saw many of the employees of the Escort Office holding weapons with serious expressions. It was only when they reached the great hall that Ling Xiao finally saw a quiet place with fewer people.
Entering the great hall, Ling Xiao saw Lin Zhannan sitting in the very middle of the chair, just like when they first met. The only difference was that the current Lin Zhannan had a haggard expression on his face, as if he had experienced something hard to accept.
"Boss Lin, what happened today that made you look so serious and scary?" Ling Xiao found a chair and sat down, and went straight to the point.
Lin Zhennan raised his head and looked at Ling Xiao with his bloodshot eyes, and said with a hoarse and low voice: "All the branches around Forwey's escort office were destroyed. I originally planned to go to the nearest branch in the morning to see what was going on, but I received a report from a spy hiding in the Fuzhou City. Qingcheng Sect's people have already infiltrated into the Fuzhou City, and there are still a large number of people rushing over, so I can only bring people back, and gather all the people I can."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao revealed a surprised expression, and said: "How can this be, how can Qingcheng Sect do this, and quickly destroy the various branches of the Escort Office?"
Back then, the Qingcheng Sect found an excuse to say that my son had killed the son of the Sect Leader, and was preparing to let my Forwey's escort office rest until he died. I did not think much of it, thinking that even if the Qingcheng Sect wanted to take action, it would at most be creating trouble, and at that time, I would have just sent some people over.
"There are so many sub-branches in the Forwey's escort office, how could his Qingcheng Sect have the ability to swallow them all in one go?" Ling Xiao still carried that expression of curiosity, as if he really didn't know anything.
Upon seeing this, Lin Zhannan instead concentrated on explaining.
Although my Forwey's escort office has a large number of people, our main operations are still on darts, so we do not have many people inside the Escort Office. He also took advantage of this point and took advantage of the opening, and coincidentally, took advantage of the moment when the majority of the workers in the Escort Office were out escorting the escort team. Lin Zhannan had a sad expression as he explained.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao could not help but shake his head and say: "This Qingcheng Sect is too sinister, to actually do such a sinister thing, truly dishonorable, if it were to spread out, I'm afraid that they would also have a hard time."
"But if the Forwey's escort office is truly finished, who would actually step out and criticize him? The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is how cruel and helpless I am. " Lin Zhannan was extremely worried as he sighed heavily.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao said: "I have no choice but to do it, if Chief Lin has any requests, as long as I can help, I will do my best, it will be for the fate and friendship that we meet."
