5: Chapter 5 Two Conditions

Early in the morning, Su Jiuchuan went to the street corner to buy some breakfast for Su Yunxia.

"Don't waste money!"

The second sister was a frugal person; she usually just ate some wild vegetables for breakfast. Seeing Su Jiuchuan spending money recklessly now, she was a bit unhappy.

"Some time ago, big brother brought me a martial arts Secret Manual from the Fuyuan Escort Agency. I have been able to Cultivate successfully these past few days and have already become a Martial Artist."

After speaking, Su Jiuchuan picked up a stone slab from the courtyard, exerted force suddenly, and crushed it directly.

"Ah!" Su Yunxia looked at the dust filling the sky, stunned, "You've already become a Martial Artist just like that?"

Su Jiuchuan nodded. He had made up a random excuse; after all, if he couldn't explain to his second sister how he suddenly became a Martial Artist, it would be inconvenient to do things in the future.

"In the future, I will be able to earn money, and we won't have to suffer like this anymore."

"Also, Yang Hu probably won't dare to come again. If he really does come, I'll teach him a lesson!"

Su Jiuchuan didn't dare to tell his second sister that he had already killed Yang Hu, fearing it would scare her.

"Hmm!"

Su Yunxia didn't understand much about martial arts, but after seeing Su Jiuchuan's performance just now, her heart was set at ease, and she nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Su Yunxia was calmed down, Su Jiuchuan finally left the house.

...

Fuyuan Escort Agency.

Zheng Xinyue was pacing back and forth anxiously.

It had been two days, and no news had come back.

Could there be a problem with that shipment?

Zheng Xinyue couldn't help but think of that shipment. She didn't know the specific details.

She only knew that the mission this time was to escort a person to Xuzhou, and the two escort carts being transported by the Escort Guard were filled with gravel to deceive people.

What worried her most was that before leaving, Chief Escort Master Zheng Nanhai had spoken to her very solemnly in secret, agreeing to let a fast horse return to deliver a message every two days.

If there was no news for two days, she was to be prepared to leave Hechuan City immediately and head straight for the capital.

At the time, she was quite surprised. Xuzhou was not far from Hechuan City and was a route they often used to transport shipments. Why was this time special? Chief Escort Master Zheng Nanhai did not explain.

"Young Escort Master!" The voice of the rough-looking man rang out at the door, "That younger brother of Su Yuanjiang is here again. He says he wants to talk to you."

"I don't have time to see him, tell him to go away!" Zheng Xinyue didn't even lift her head, still pacing and thinking about things.

The rough-looking man didn't move and was still lingering at the door. Zheng Xinyue was angry and looked up, wanting to scold him, but saw that the man was covering his Face, and a slap mark could still be vaguely seen through his fingers.

"Hmm?" Zheng Xinyue was furious, "He dares to make a move in the Fuyuan Escort Agency?"

"Yes, this kid has advanced to become a Martial Artist, which is why he is so fearless and completely disregarded the Fuyuan Escort Agency's Face."

The rough-looking man, seeing Zheng Xinyue's anger, quickly said: "His brother Su Yuanjiang is also no good. He's usually shameless in the Fuyuan Escort Agency, petty and thieving, taking advantage of the Fuyuan Escort Agency..."

"Let him in." Zheng Xinyue didn't have the patience to listen and snorted coldly.

The rough-looking man was overjoyed. He had been at the Fuyuan Escort Agency for a long time and knew the situation.

Don't look at Zheng Xinyue as a woman who is beautiful and usually generous; if you really make her angry, no one can stop her once she loses her temper.

Moreover, she is an 8th Grade Martial Artist. This person surnamed Su is going to be unlucky this time. He actually dared to hit me...

It turned out that when Su Jiuchuan arrived just now, the rough-looking man still didn't give him a good look.

But Su Jiuchuan now had complete confidence, so he beat him up without hesitation, which led to the scene earlier.

Su Jiuchuan walked into the hall and, sure enough, saw Zheng Xinyue glaring at him. He wanted to open his mouth to explain.

Zheng Xinyue was already feeling frustrated, and now that someone had delivered themselves to her door, she decided to teach him a lesson first.

"Slap!" A whip lashed out directly.

Su Jiuchuan was angry. Although this woman was beautiful, her temper was too rash. She didn't say a word and just attacked.

However, he was now also an 8th Grade Martial Artist, so he wasn't afraid at all.

He casually grabbed a chair, dismantled a leg, and used the "Blade Technique of Cutting Wind".

Zheng Xinyue realized something was wrong once they exchanged blows. The opponent was also an 8th Grade Martial Artist. More importantly, the blade technique he used with the chair leg was very sharp. After a few rounds, she was actually faintly at a disadvantage.

"Stop!" Seeing that she couldn't win, Zheng Xinyue shouted.

Hearing this, Su Jiuchuan smiled, stopped, and casually threw away the chair leg.

The rough-looking man, who was standing at the door intending to watch the fun, was shocked. This kid was also an 8th Grade Martial Artist, and even the Young Escort Master was no match for him.

And that Su Yuanjiang still wants to come to the Fuyuan Escort Agency to be an Escort Guard? This guy is sick. If I had a younger brother like this at home, I would have plenty of opportunities to get rich.

The rough-looking man complained in his heart but didn't dare to stay and quickly retreated.

"The shipment of the Fuyuan Escort Agency has been robbed!"

Su Jiuchuan didn't intend to drag things out with this hot-tempered woman and went straight to the point.

"What do you know?" Zheng Xinyue's heart stirred.

This woman wasn't shocked, but rather so calm. There was a problem.

She must have already known that the group transporting the shipment had met with trouble.

"I know where they met with trouble!" Su Jiuchuan had the results of several simulations, so he was confident.

"But, I need a sum of silver!"

"Why should I believe you?" After all, Zheng Xinyue had traveled the Jianghu with her father. Although she was worried, she still questioned him carefully.

Su Jiuchuan recalled one of the simulations where the Fuyuan Escort Agency was deemed to be colluding with rebels. His heart stirred, and he took out a token from his bosom and threw it in front of her.

Zheng Xinyue picked it up, her fingers tracing the iron-hook-and-silver-stroke characters of "Hechuan City" on the token, and she was shocked.

Indeed, this was the token found on Yang Hu.

"I found this when I went outside the city to look for traces of my big brother, Su Yuanjiang."

He told a lie. There was no other way; he couldn't talk about the simulator, so he had to do this.

Zheng Xinyue associated it with Chief Escort Master Zheng Nanhai's instructions before he left, and she believed it somewhat.

"Where did they meet with trouble?"

"One thousand taels!" Su Jiuchuan said directly. The cost of using the simulator was getting more and more expensive, so he had to ask for a high price.

"Su Yuanjiang is also in the team!"

Su Jiuchuan looked calmly at the shrewd woman in front of him and said: "If you don't pay, then we'll each find our own way!"

The two stared at each other for a long time. Zheng Xinyue's mental fortitude was still a bit lacking, and she nodded, saying: "I agree, but you have to go with me."

She had seen Su Jiuchuan's ability just now. If she could recruit such a helper, this one thousand taels of silver was not expensive.

"Fine." Su Jiuchuan nodded, "However, I have two conditions."

"First, the silver must be given now."

"Second, the Fuyuan Escort Agency probably won't be able to continue operating anyway. When you withdraw, take my second sister with you."

This was actually something Su Jiuchuan had considered before coming. Hechuan City was too dangerous now. Regardless of whether he could rescue Su Yuanjiang this time, he had to leave this place as soon as possible.

And Su Yunxia, a woman with no power to truss a chicken, would find it very difficult to escape with him. Now that the Fuyuan Escort Agency had plenty of manpower, following them would be much easier, and they were professionals at running away.

Zheng Xinyue nodded secretly in her heart. Su Jiuchuan handing his second sister over to the Fuyuan Escort Agency was equivalent to giving a hostage, which allowed her to feel at ease acting with him.

"Deal!"

"By the way, do you know a person named Lan Guping?"
