Chapter 97 Something is wrong
Xie Yuan was startled, Yin Yang Dart?
Yin Yang Dart is a term in the escort industry. As the name suggests, an escort is divided into two parts: one Yin and one Yang, one light and one dark.
There are many open darts, which can be "face darts", which are fake darts and bait, or real darts, which do not carry all the darts;
hidden darts are often carried out in small teams alone. , or even just riding alone, carrying valuable darts that are easy to get, and blending into the travelers, and there is almost no trace.
Therefore, secret darts are often the "inner darts" of a Yin-Yang dart. They carry the most valuable items and leave them to the most trustworthy and capable people to ensure the safety of the dart items.
Of course, there are also escort agencies that go out of their way and let less conspicuous escorts serve as secret escorts, which makes them less noticeable and more concealable. But if something unexpected happens like this, the outcome may be hard to predict. The escort business is always about stability. Those who like to take the wrong path may be able to do so for a while, but they will never last long.
After Xie Yuan joined the escort agency, he naturally knew about this, but he had never seen the escort agency do it.
How valuable is this time to implement this strategy?
And the secret dart is often the more critical part. After taking this exquisite jade box, which was larger than the palm of his hand, feeling the slightly heavy weight, Xie Yuan secretly guessed, what kind of treasure is inside?
"Open it and take a look. It's all in your hands anyway. This is the treasure of the regular members. Half of the value of this escort is in the contents of this box."
Zhao Xingyang saw that Xie Yuan Out of curiosity, he opened the jade box for him without any fuss.
I’ve already asked you to send hidden darts. Isn’t it unnecessary to still be on guard?
The silvery white light illuminated the room instantly, like a moon coming directly, even though it was still daytime.
This brilliance is crystal clear, bright but not dazzling, making people feel comfortable and focused.
Looking at the huge bead that exuded radiant light, regardless of its crystal clear appearance, the important thing was that it was bigger than his fist. Xie Yuan was stunned for a while, and then he said in shock:
"This is... a night pearl?"
"Yes, a night pearl as big as a fist."
Zhao Xingyang also shook his head with emotion.
Xie Yuan couldn't help but lost his voice. He didn't expect to meet the legendary treasure guy. Such a big one is worth a lot of money, so even ordinary people would be willing to part with it?
When he asked his question, Zhao Xingyang replied:
"Our escort agency has been operating for decades and has never failed. The reputation of the chief escort chief is the best guarantee. Everyone can rest assured of our credibility." . As for why he gave up this treasure, I don’t know, but I guess it’s not the kind of legend. The color is a bit wrong.”
Zhao Xingyang talked about the color difference between what he saw in ancient books and this bead. Xie Yuan compared it and found that this one seemed to be correct. It's greenish and has different textures, so it's probably some kind of imitation or replacement.
But even so, this is also a rare treasure, worth a lot of money.
Xie Yuan asked quietly:
"Excuse me, has he really been to the tomb?"
"Nine times out of ten, the seniors said that he made a fortune too quickly. The antiques, calligraphy and paintings are all genuine old objects. Each one opened the door and weighed it. How can there be such a serious businessman if he is a big boss?
"It is said that he was too ostentatious back then and was caught. Only then did he sell off his assets and hide himself, keeping a low profile like today. Even this trip back to my hometown seems to be related to this. ”
Zhao Xingyang told a little bit of news he got.
Xie Yuan nodded in understanding. These rich families indeed have stories.
So this time around, there may be some other reason why I wanted to move away most of my belongings.
I don’t know what the reason was, but it was unusual. Zhao Xingyang also smelled something and made a special arrangement like this.
After all, no matter what the story is outside Chang Yuan, since he spent a lot of money to escort the escort and the escort agency accepted it, then let him go through hell and fire and deliver the escort first.
"Xiao Xie, you can go through the back door before dawn and keep a low profile along the way. You can arrange the route yourself, taking into account both safety and speed. You don't need to tell me."
Zhao Xing raised his hand. Wave, arrange.
"Okay, Zhao Tou. Longteng Escort Bureau will achieve its mission."
Xie Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile.
After leaving the door, Xie Yuan had not gone far when he happened to see bodyguard Xu Mo and several other senior bodyguards. Xu Mo was always on duty in the recording room. He was explaining something to a few people at this time. When he saw Xie Yuan coming over, he nodded slightly and said seriously:
"Xiao Xie, this task is important, you have to pay attention to the details. .”
"Yes, Mr. Xu!"
Xie Yuan saluted seriously and did not mention the secret escort to anyone.
When everyone discovers that he is not accompanying them tomorrow, he will have already left Yunzhao a hundred miles away. The members of the escort team have fought side by side for many years and are trustworthy, but if they even hide this from their own people, that is even more insurance.
Back in the room, Xie Yuan quietly packed his bags and prepared carefully.
Clothing, wound medicine, fire, dry food.
Qingshui will be beaten again tomorrow morning, and the horses will have special handymen to brush their teeth and feed them. They will also go directly to the stables to lead the horses tomorrow morning;
The long sword is attached, and the moon-cutting ax is put into the long wooden box customized in the past few days— —Although it is still very eye-catching, it is much better than carrying a big ax directly.
Check it again, put the jade box and the pearl in your bag, and put it on the bedside. Leave through the back door of the escort agency.
All the way out of the city, Xie Yuan rode his horse eastward and looked at the horizon, where the fish belly was just slightly exposed.
"I have just walked this line, and it is safe all the way to Jigong Mountain. I am even faster on my own. But at Jigong Mountain...it passes by the southern foot, further south than Yushui. , No matter how long the bandits are, they can’t cross the river.”
Xie Yuan thought for a moment and then made a decision. Although Zhao Xingyang didn't say it, since they were going north, it was naturally better for him to go south, which was tacitly understood.
This Jigong Mountain is a bit annoying, like a nail in the middle.
When Xie Yuan has the ability, he wants to kill them so that they dared to block the way last time.
Xie Yuan adjusted his direction, slightly to the south, and drove quickly.
The journey was uneventful.
Xie Yuan, riding alone, could not stop the bandits even if they tried to stop him, and even he himself could not believe it. He did not encounter anything. He traveled day and night. In less than three days, he arrived at Wuli Village in Yulin County. Chang The hometown of Yuanwai.
Sure enough, we can’t run into trouble every time, right?
Xie Yuan felt a little relieved when he saw the grand "Changfu" sign.
People who have made a fortune love to build big houses in their hometowns. Even though Chang Yuanwai has been living in Yunzhao all year round, Wuli Village still built a big house. It seems that the house supports many people.
Xie Yuan dismounted at the door and raised his hands to the concierge who came up:
"Xie Yuan, the bodyguard of Yunzhao Longteng Escort Agency, is sending escorts home for the regular members."
"My escort? This..."
The concierge was a little puzzled and asked Xie Yuan to take a moment. Wait, go find the housekeeper yourself.
When the housekeeper came over, he was also a little surprised. It was not until Xie Yuan handed over the jade box in the study that the housekeeper confirmed it and muttered:
"The master didn't say anything?"
He picked up the pen and thought for a while, then wrote a confirmation letter to Xie Yuan, which was considered the handover was completed.
Xie Yuan left Zhuangzi, looked back, and frowned:
“It’s strange that such a big move, Chang Yuanwai didn’t ventilate the home first?”
He was confused for a long time. Thinking of his previous discussion with Zhao Xingyang, he felt more and more something was wrong.
Xie Yuan felt uneasy and turned his horse's head to the northwest, heading towards the direction from which the Ming escort came.
