Chapter 367 Military Style (13)
There are twelve steps at the entrance of the old government house and now the Linlang Chamber of Commerce. At the top of the steps, there are two warriors guarding both sides of the gate.
"Brother, where are you from?"
Seeing Xu Tai walking all the way, seemingly planning to enter, the warriors all stepped forward to stop him.
They could see that Xu Tai's strength was extraordinary, so their tone was quite calm: "This is an important place for the Chamber of Commerce. No casualties are allowed to enter. If anything happens, tell us and we will inform you."
"I am the head escort of Hanlang Escort Agency."
Xu Tai didn't waste any time: "The goods we shipped were intercepted. They were the True Demon Cult hiding as an induction team. They controlled monsters to attack the convoy. I'm here to remind you."
"True Demon Cult?"
The warriors guarding the door were a little confused. They looked confused and questioning. Apparently they thought this was a bit unreasonable. They subconsciously shirk responsibility and said: "It's your problem that the goods were intercepted. We are not responsible for identifying whether the induction team is genuine or fake. , then again, it’s your duty to bring the goods, and it’s your fault if you don’t.”
"Yes." Another gatekeeper warrior warned: "What about the True Demon Cult and Heavenly Demon? Don't be alarmist here and throw out some random words to scare people."
Xu Tai sighed inwardly. If he hadn't been used to this group of people talking about things left and right, and turning to the wind to shirk responsibility, a younger person would have become famous by now.
He patiently emphasized: "I lost my dart, and I will go back to plead guilty to my client. However, the real demon sect and the strange movements of the demon are of great importance, and you must pay attention to it."
"Yeah, yeah."
The guard warrior looked nonchalant: "I know, we will notify you."
One look at it and you knew you didn't take it to heart.
Xu Tai had nothing to say at this point, but this outcome was within his expectation, so he turned around and left.
"Brother, wait a moment!"
However, just when Xu Tai turned around and went down the steps, there was a voice from inside the door, which made Xu Tai turn around and saw that it was a steward coming hurriedly: "What is the True Demon Cult? Please come in and explain in detail!"
After getting closer, the steward took a closer look at Xu Tai's face. His complexion suddenly changed slightly, and then he became furious. He turned around and slapped the warrior guarding the door: "I've blinded you. This is the Hanhai Escort Bureau." "One promise means a thousand pieces of gold"! He has been famous for more than ten years, how dare you question him?"
After he finished speaking, he made a respectful gesture: "Brother Xu, please come in!"
Seeing this scene, Xu Tai didn't feel any pleasure in her heart. Instead, she became vigilant: "This is not a chamber of commerce at all..."
This manager obviously has strength, and he is not weak at all. He actually has inner strength. As a large chamber of commerce that spans the three roads of the vast sea, Linlang Chamber of Commerce does have this strength. There are also three martial arts masters at the headquarters.
But the way the steward slapped him just now showed a crisp and neat demeanor, and the warrior who was slapped stood upright without even the slightest dodge. He didn't feel any resentment, dissatisfaction or unwillingness after being slapped. It was completely reasonable. the proper attitude.
This kind of attitude is only seen when they are physically punished by instructors in their martial arts school. It is just pure pain and will never hurt anyone.
——A military background?
Hide this doubt in her heart, Xu Tai had some guesses in her mind, but she still followed the capable steward into the chamber of commerce. This place was the original government office. The steward brought Xu Tai into an inner room. After inviting him some tea, he asked Xu Tai seriously about the details of the attacks he encountered from the True Demon Cult and monsters.
This question confirmed Xu Tai's suspicion, because the other party's words were simple and direct, which was basically the style of the military.
But the strange thing is that when he was walking in the Chamber of Commerce just now, the several Chamber of Commerce personnel he saw behaved in a familiar and casual manner... Could it be that only the stewards were from the military?
Xu Tai recorded all these messages and conversations using the intercom recording function provided by An Jing. Soon, the steward finished his questions, nodded his thanks and said, "Thank you very much for your report. We will pay attention to the latent problem of the True Demon Sect... From this point of view, the loss of escorts in your escort agency is not your problem, but ours." The information is incorrect.”
"Please wait a moment. I will apply for an exemption document for you. I will also give you a small gift. I can't chill the heart of a righteous man."
After speaking, the steward left, leaving Xu Tai alone in the room.
"interesting."
Based on this behavior alone, Xu Tai felt that the other party was quite nice, and the public relations handling was perfect - if he hadn't seen the Linlang Chamber of Commerce buying and selling people's fish and meat along the way, he might have really praised the other party when he went back. .
Most likely, it's because he is a high-level internally strong person close to the martial arts. If it weren't for the fact that his divine soul is hard to find, he might have started preparing to break through the martial arts. He has a good reputation and has the value of uniting the battle.
Not long after, the documents were issued - this speed also convinced Xu Tai once again that some of the Linlang Chamber of Commerce must have been replaced by people from the military department arranged by the big shots above. This efficiency was not something that normal chambers of commerce could achieve.
But here comes the question...what are these people doing? Didn't they see the chaos in the city? Or do you mean you don't care about it and have more important tasks?
Xu Tai came to the Chamber of Commerce this time just to see if Linlang was really cooperating with the True Demon Sect. Now it seems that the manager probably knew something, but he didn't know that the True Demon Cult had reached the point where it could drive monsters to attack people.
This time he was invited to collect information, and most likely to collect evidence to beat the collaborators over there, so that these madmen from the True Demon Sect should not be too arrogant and not bring out monsters casually.
"We'll see now, whether they plan to silence me and block information, or whether they plan to buy me to shut up."
Xu Tai closed her eyes and meditated, recharging her energy and waiting. He didn't even drink a sip of the tea from the Chamber of Commerce. He was ready to call An Jing to come to the rescue at any time. The thunder beads in his kettle could also be forced to activate at any time. He was really fully prepared for battle.
The result was a bit subtle: Linlang Chamber of Commerce didn't seem to want to silence him immediately, but it also didn't want to immediately pay him to shut up.
Because the military-style steward came back and brought a piece of news that was either good or bad.
"Young master wants to see you."
The steward said with a helpless look. He seemed a little distressed, but he had no ability to restrain the 'young master': "Please go upstairs, Brother Xu. But let me say, my young master's temperament... may not be very good. "
"Son..."
Xu Tai narrowed his eyes. Judging from the attitude of the manager, he could probably guess who the real talker of the Linlang Chamber of Commerce was in Lajiang City.
"Then let's meet." He smiled and said: "We are all young masters, how can we be worse?"
After ten snaps of his fingers, Xu Tai knew that he was wrong.
Because the first thing the young master said after seeing him was, 'This is the bodyguard who lost our belongings'?
