Chapter 126 The grudges of wealthy families
"you are?"
Ge Xue looked at Ma Huixin coldly, his eyes filled with unconcealable anger.
Ma Huixin was one of his employers on this escort mission, so how could he not know about that? He also knew that this time they would be attacked by men in black, and it was very likely that the men in black were targeting Ma Huixin.
In addition to Ma Huixin, there was another employer who escorted goods before. Not only had they encountered robbers, they had never even encountered anyone stopping them on the road and demanding a toll.
But this time, with Ma Huixin joining the escort, they encountered men in black who came to rob the escort.
As a result, the brothers who went on this escort mission suffered heavy casualties, including some who had been friends for several years or even more than ten years.
How could he not resent Ma Huixin, the culprit?
of course.
He also knew that they were taking money from people in order to help them get rid of their misfortunes. Their job was like licking blood on the edge of a knife, and Ma Huixin had given him enough money.
Ma Huixin was added to this escort mission at short notice, and they were initially reluctant to agree.
Who knows if Ma Huixin came up to them on purpose in order to covet the goods they were escorting.
They specifically asked for a sky-high price, hoping that Ma Huixin would give up, but they didn't expect that Ma Huixin would actually agree. During the process, she even told them that they might encounter danger on the road.
Let them be extremely vigilant!
At that time, they had already been attracted by the money offered by Ma Huixin.
Although it has to be handed over to the escort agency, a portion of it will be divided among them.
After all, what they do is a job that requires a lot of effort, and no one will do it without enough money.
Then he thought of another employer, an old customer who had escorted goods for him more than once or twice and had never encountered any danger. This employer had not offended anyone during this period, so there was no need for him to go to so much trouble to set up such a trap.
Considering the high price offered by Ma Huixin, he agreed to let her go.
How to know.
I actually encountered danger!
He even killed a bunch of their brothers!
He knew that Ma Huixin was not to be blamed for this, but he still couldn't help blaming Ma Huixin.
"Our young lady is the eldest daughter of the Ma family of Qianli Chamber of Commerce!"
Xiang Qiao snorted coldly, her face full of arrogance.
"Ma family of Qianli Chamber of Commerce?"
Not to mention Ge Xue, even Xu Qing was shocked. Qianli Chamber of Commerce was a famous chamber of commerce in Fengyin County. Although the Ma family was just a nouveau riche with no background, they still took root in the county city with the help of money.
Their Yangchuan Escort Agency has a lot of business dealings with the Qianli Chamber of Commerce!
Ge Xue asked in confusion, "Why have I never heard that Qianli Chamber of Commerce has a young lady?"
Xu Qing looked at Ma Huixin's abnormal expression and knew there was a story behind it. He was not the kind of person who liked gossip.
Moreover, some stories can kill outsiders if they hear them.
Not to mention, Ma Huixin was alone - no, she was rushing to the county town with a maid, and was ambushed by men in black on the way.
The story inside is probably very terrifying.
Xu Qing hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Miss Ma, I remember this place is not far from Qingyang County. My brothers have suffered heavy casualties and are no longer able to protect you to the county town..."
Ma Huixin interrupted, "Captain Xu, don't worry. When we get to the county city, I will double the benefits I should give you. And I can also help arrange jobs for you injured brothers. It's impossible for you to become rich, but supporting your family is not a problem!"
Xu Qing and Ge Xue looked at each other. When the men in black robbed the escort, they guessed that they were here for Ma Huixin. So they were considering whether to give up this escort trip, even if it would affect the reputation of their Yangchuan Escort Agency.
After learning that Ma Huixin was from the Ma family of Qianli Chamber of Commerce, and that she was the eldest daughter they had never known, they were even more determined to give up. Who knew if this would involve a feud between wealthy families?
just.
After hearing what Ma Huixin said, the two of them couldn't help but hesitate.
The benefits of Yangchuan Escort Agency are actually very good. Even if you are seriously injured or even killed while escorting, you will receive a generous pension.
But to put it bluntly, compared to being injured, especially seriously injured, it is better to lose your life directly. Not only will the pension be higher, but it will also not be a burden to the family.
After all, no matter how much the pension is, there is still a risk of spending it all.
Especially if you are supporting a disabled person, your family may fall into decline in a few years.
In this situation, it's not that Yangchuan Escort Agency doesn't want to intervene, but the company is too big and has too many people, so there's no way to intervene even if they want to. Yangchuan Escort Agency also needs to eat and support its families, so it can't give a generous pension.
That's all we have done!
Xu Qing and Ge Xue looked at each other, but ultimately failed to make up their minds.
The grudges between wealthy families and the work of the injured escort...
No matter what the matter is, there are connections between them and it is not easy to make a decision casually.
Xu Qing said sternly, "Miss Ma, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that this place is still a long way from the county town. Most of my brothers are seriously injured and cannot escort you to the county town. We plan to go to Qingyang County to rest first and then recruit some good people from the escort agency to escort you!"
"Then I'll trouble you, Chief Xu!"
Ma Huixin's face was full of gratitude, and she said, "When we get to the county city, if you need any work, just come to me. I will also pay for the other brothers who came from your escort agency!"
"Thank you Miss Ma!"
Xu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Ma, this place... this place is not very safe. You should go to the carriage. The carriage is made of high-quality iron and wood, and its defense is first-class. Even if it is chopped by a knife or an axe, it will not be a problem. I will arrange a few brothers to protect you!"
"Sorry to bother you, Chief Xu, but I have one more thing I want to ask you!"
Ma Huixin asked curiously, "It was the Eagle Swordsman who saved our lives just now?"
"Flying Eagle Swordsman?"
Xu Qing's face was full of confusion.
He had been in the world for many years, but had never heard of such a person.
of course.
Or maybe he is just ignorant!
"Captain Xu, this is what happened..."
Ma Huixin explained.
After a long while, Xu Qing listened to Ma Huixin's explanation, with a strange look on his face. He had never thought that Ma Huixin - no, her maid, would be named like this. He said:
"You're right. The one who saved us just now was a peregrine falcon. Moreover, it can actually wield a flying sword. The 'Flying Eagle Swordsman' you mentioned is really a very vivid description!"
then.
He was about to die at the hands of the leader of the men in black, but unexpectedly someone - no, a monster... he didn't know whether to say a monster or a spirit beast took action.
Not only did he rescue him from the leader of the men in black, but he also killed the leader of the men in black.
He was frightened on the spot!
He never thought that a peregrine falcon could actually fly a flying sword. He suspected that there was a sword cultivator nearby. However, he checked carefully over and over again and made sure that there was no outsider except the peregrine falcon.
although.
He was reluctant to admit that a peregrine falcon could actually control a flying sword, but he had to admit that his life and the lives of other escorts were saved by this flying eagle swordsman.
