Chapter 20 Helpers
The competition at Yueshan Escort Agency lasted for a whole day, but Yue Hang, as the chief escort, only sat on the sidelines to watch in the morning and never appeared after noon.
Even Ye Wen did not appear because he was invited by Yue Hang to the escort agency to have dinner together and discuss the itinerary for this time.
"What suggestions do you have for Young Master Ye?" Although the route of the journey had been determined long ago, and even some of the arrangements had been discussed, in order to show your respect for Ye Wen, Yue Hang still asked specifically.
Ye Wen took a sip with the teacup. He hadn't drunk anything decent for half a year. He drank water all day long on the mountain. This cup of hot tea was the first time he drank after traveling through time. Therefore, although he had no habit of drinking tea before, this sip of hot tea still made him feel very comfortable.
After swallowing the tea, Ye Wen replied with a smile: "You are polite to the boss Yue. Since Ye is here to earn the commission this time, he is naturally obeying the boss Yue's order! Besides, I don't know much about the specific situation, so I won't make any suggestions!"
Yue Hang smiled and nodded, as if he was very satisfied with Ye Wen's answer.
To be honest, he was really afraid that Ye Wen would be very good at raising his own martial arts skills and would make any suggestions randomly. If that was true, it would be really hard for him to do so. Listen? It might disrupt all deployments. If he didn't listen? Then he would offend this person who made great progress in martial arts for some reason (Yue Hang had secretly inquired about what happened with his subordinates half a year ago, and knew that Ye Wen's previous skills were definitely not so high), and he was likely to have a bright future. He could make such a big progress in half a year, and he might have had some adventures.
Therefore, the best result is to pay for it yourself, and Ye Wen accepted it with satisfaction, and as he protected the Xu family's son to the south, he provided the necessary help along the way, and did not participate in anything else. This was the best for both the Yueshan Escort Agency and Yue Hang himself.
"Then Young Master Ye thinks that the commission is more in line with your wishes?"
When Ye Wen heard this question, he thought for a while. Although he had an understanding of the prices in this world, he was not clear about the industry of the escort agency and did not know how much the commission they had for this escort, so he could not tell how much he wanted.
Therefore, he could only choose a slightly passive offer method: "Mr. Yue's escort thinks it's appropriate, so he'll be as good as he can!" At the same time, Ye Wen felt that Yue Hang should not be the kind of stingy person, and he wouldn't have deliberately lowered his commission.
Sure enough, Yue Hang quickly offered the price: "If this goes well, I will pay 100 taels of silver Yu Shaoxia. Do you think this price is appropriate?"
"100 taels?" Although Ye Wen's face was still calm, his heart suddenly moved. He didn't expect that Yue Hang was really generous. He said he would give himself 100 taels as soon as he opened his mouth. If he really made this money, then in a short time he and Ning Ruxue would not have to worry about the silver.
But Ye Wen's calm reaction made Yue Hang misunderstand. He frowned and asked, "Young hero thinks it's not enough?"
You should know that the entire reward for taking this escort was only 500 taels of silver. If Ye Wen had not seen that he was a young master who knew internal skills, his future prospects would be limitless, so if he deliberately wanted to make friends, he would never offer such a price.
What's more, after earning 500 taels, he still needs to take out part of his dividends to his subordinates, and some of them are used to attract other experts in the world. Of course, these people will never receive such high rewards, but Yue Hang is planning to find more people, and it will probably cost a lot if he accumulates a lot.
Therefore, 100 taels is the limit he can take out. If Ye Wen thinks it is too little, then he may have to do this deal at a loss.
Although he had to do a loss-making business, after all, this transaction was related to the signature of the Yueshan Escort Agency and whether he could still survive in this business in the future. So even if he lost money, he had to grit his teeth and transport the escort safely.
However, if a business that could still make money is a loss because of deliberately making friends with a young man, even if he is willing, his subordinates may not agree. If they cause other things, it will be troublesome.
Fortunately, Ye Wen did not make his worries last for too long, and he quickly responded with a smile: "No, 100 taels are enough! But General Yue's escort gave me such a generous commission. Could it be that I want me to stay in Yueshan escort agency in the future and work hard for General Zheng's escort?"
"Hahaha, Young Master Ye was joking! Although my Yue Hang's kung fu is not very good, he is still very accurate in his opinion. I know that the young master's future is immeasurable. How can my small Yueshan escort agency keep Young Master?" Yue Hang touched his not-so-dense beard and said with a smile: "But if Young Master is interested, Yue would be undesirable!"
If Ye Wen is really interested in joining his escort agency, it will definitely be a big joy for Yueshan escort agency. But the possibility of this is too low, even though Ye Wen seems to be a little down now - Yue Hang knows that his sect is gone, and he deliberately goes to him to make money for life, so he judges that Ye Wen is in poor condition recently.
Seeing that Yue Hang was so interesting, Ye Wen knew that it was impossible to really keep him. He did not continue to get entangled on this topic, but instead exposed the passage with jokes, and he stopped talking about this matter.
However, after a while, the two of them agreed on the most important matter and agreed on the remuneration price and payment method, which was not just a pure tea chat.
What satisfied Ye Wen even more was that almost at the same time as the negotiations were held, Yue Hang immediately clapped his hands and called the servants to get 20 taels of silver notes, and immediately gave Ye Wen: "These 20 taels are considered deposits for the young hero, and the rest will be handed over to the young hero until the transaction is finished!"
Ye Wen nodded and put the 20 taels of silver notes into his arms. Now he has enough silver to keep him in his arms, and even his confidence is a lot. I believe that when he goes to the restaurant for dinner, he doesn't have to carefully estimate the remaining money in his hands.
Just when Ye Wen had collected the bills, a friend from the escort agency ran in and said to Yue Hang: "The chief escort leader, Hushan Sect Zhenren Liu and his disciples arrived!"
"Where? Take me to greet me quickly!"
When Yue Hang heard that it was the one who invited Liu Zhenren to come, he immediately stood up and asked the gang to take him there. After all, this Liu Zhenren was the biggest support for his luck. Even if he invited Ye Wen, a young master, now, this situation still did not change.
After all, although Ye Wen is also a master who knows internal skills, Liu Zhenren has been a veteran master who has practiced internal skills for decades. Yue Hang doesn't think Ye Wen can be more powerful than Liu Zhenren.
What's more, Liu Zhenren actually brought his disciples here this time. I believe his disciples also have a good career in art. In this way, his journey to the south has added some more guarantees.
Of course, Yue Hang would not ignore Ye Wen, who had just spent a lot of money to make friends with him, and then stood up and said to Ye Wen with a smile: "Young Master Ye would rather go with me, after all, Liu Zhenren is also a martial arts senior!"
He said this very well. He did not regard Ye Wen as an outsider when he invited Ye Wen, but he did not treat Ye Wen as an outsider. He said that he was a martial arts senior. He welcomed him because of respect for his senior rather than because of some reasons such as those with a strong background, which prevented Ye Wen from feeling dissatisfied with this (after all, they are all here to help with boxing, why is he better than me? I have to go to the door to greet him?).
So, after hearing Yue Hang's words, Ye Wen did not feel any dissatisfied and stood up and responded: "Okay!" Then he walked towards the vestibule with Yue Hang.
When we arrived at the vestibule, there were no more crowds than in the morning, but there were still some people gathered around and watched the field, and there were two people competing in the field.
Because people have become much less, the circle formed is no longer three layers inside and three layers outside like in the morning, but is barely considered a circle.
As soon as Ye Wen arrived at the vestibule, he saw an old Taoist priest with slightly gray hair standing there, watching the competition in the venue with great interest. He thought that this old Taoist priest was the one Liu Zhenren.
Behind him was a middle-aged Taoist priest and a young Taoist priest about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. These two people were obviously the disciples of the old Taoist priest. Compared to his master's appearance, the two people were obviously indifferent to the competition in the field. The middle-aged Taoist priest was fine, and he was still standing quietly behind the old Taoist priest.
As for the young man, he seemed to be disdainful of the battle in the field and kept looking left and right. Therefore, when Yue Hang and Ye Wen walked into the vestibule, the young Taoist priest saw the two of them and immediately whispered something in his master's ear.
Then, the old Taoist priest turned his head and looked here, immediately turned around and greeted Yue Hang: "Haha, General Yue's head! When I came here, I encountered some trivial matters on the way, so I came too late, so don't blame General Brother!"
How could Yue Hang blame him? After all, this person was still counting on Master Liu to solve his problems, so he immediately smiled and greeted him: "It's good that Master Liu is willing to come. What's the matter of a few days in the evening?"
After the two of them warmly exchanged greetings, Yue Hang personally led Liu Zhenren to the backyard, saying, "The food has been prepared!" During this period, Liu Zhenren also introduced the two young Taoist priests behind Yue Hang: "These are two incompetent disciples. I will take them down the mountain together so that they can see the world!"
After saying that, the middle-aged Taoist priest said first: "Let me beside Liu Mo, this is my junior brother Zhao Heng. I have seen General Yue's head!" He brought his junior brother to Yue Hang and bowed to Yue Hang. He spoke with him, but he never lost his etiquette. He was indeed a bit like a child of a big school.
When Yue Hang saw the two of them bowing, he immediately put his fists back and said, "You are kind!" After all, he invited him to help him, and he had something to ask for him, so he was not qualified to make any suggestions.
After several people introduced it, perhaps seeing that the young man beside Yue Hang had not spoken, and he didn't know what the details were, Liu Zhenren looked at it for a while and asked, "Is this young man..."
