Chapter 521 Brothers?
"Master Luo, what did you say? Are we relatives?"
Zhang Chengyong looked at Luo Taiqing strangely and said strangely, "Master Luo, I appreciate your kindness, but your horse is too expensive. I'm afraid I can't afford it. Please take it back!"
The first person his master asked him to meet was Luo Taiqing, and of course he didn't ask him to visit Luo Taiqing at his home.
His master was qualified to visit Luo Taiqing, but he did not have this qualification. His master gave him a portrait, which was a portrait of Luo Taiqing. It was said to be a portrait of a famous artist and was very similar to Luo Taiqing himself.
That was the first time he met Luo Taiqing. Later, after living in the county town for many years, he was fortunate enough to meet Luo Taiqing several times.
But I have never heard that Luo Taiqing is his relative. If his family has such a relative, why would they hide in a remote and poor mountain village like Zhangjia Village?
What he couldn't understand even more was why Luo Taiqing gave him a horse for no apparent reason, to the point that he accidentally said something that was full of loopholes.
Don't tell me yet.
This horse was truly exceptionally good, not inferior to the horses that his fellow disciples had bought at great expense and ridden to the martial arts gym to show off in front of them. It could only be said that the Luo family was indeed a famous wealthy family in Qingyang County, and even the horses of the warriors in their family were first-rate.
Thousands of distracting thoughts emerged in Zhang Chengyong's mind, and then a flash of inspiration flashed away, and he wondered:
"Could it be that Mr. Luo has taken a fancy to the white lion and is planning to use this fine horse as an excuse to exchange or even buy the white lion from my aunt's family?"
If that was the case, he could not accept this horse no matter what.
He also had to persuade Luo Taiqing that the white lion was willing to join the Wang family because it was after his cousin Wang Ping'an. The choice of the master by the divine beast cannot be measured by money.
If Luo Taiqing didn't listen to his advice, he would bring out Lu Tu, the captain of the Fengyin County Demon Suppression Division, again.
He just didn't believe that Luo Taiqing or Luo Taiqing's men would be as arrogant as Yuan Ziming and his men, and would beat him out before he could finish his words.
"Junior brother, you may not know that Master Luo is your cousin's father-in-law. If you are not relatives, what are you?"
Luo Taiqing was about to open his mouth to explain why he was a relative of the Wang family and had a relationship with him, but before he could finish his words, the warrior who was leading the horse over to give to Zhang Chengyong suddenly opened his mouth and explained:
"This horse is a token of Mr. Luo's love. It has no other meaning. It is simply a gift from an elder. Please accept it!"
"Junior brother?"
Zhang Chengyong was stunned at first, then reacted and looked at the warrior in front of him seriously. After a few careful glances, he found that he was becoming more and more familiar. A familiar face emerged in his mind and he said in surprise:
"Brother Xiang, how could it be you!"
He recognized the man in front of him. His name was Xiang Chenghua, and he also used to practice martial arts in the county martial arts school.
He is older than him and has entered the county martial arts school many years earlier than him. He graduated from the county martial arts school very early and is said to have learned all the skills of the school owner. They have not had much dealings with each other, but they have met a few times.
just.
He heard that after Xiang Chenghua graduated, he was recommended by the head of the academy to study at a master's school in the county city. He never expected that he would come to serve as a bodyguard for Luo Taiqing.
For a moment, Zhang Chengyong's face became very strange. He wanted to ask what was going on with Xiang Chenghua. Why didn't he study martial arts with his master in the county city, but instead ran back to be Luo Taiqing's bodyguard?
Although, for disciples like them who came from martial arts schools, the best way out is to serve as guards for wealthy families.
The welfare benefits are first-class. They may not be as good as those of the escort agency's porters, but at least they don't have to be exposed to the sun and rain, and their lives are unlikely to be in danger.
This is the job that these martial arts school disciples want to do the most. Unfortunately, the number of positions as guards for wealthy families is limited, and there are many requirements. It is not possible that one out of a hundred people can meet the requirements.
It is a good thing that Xiang Chenghua can be Luo Taiqing's bodyguard, but in Zhang Chengyong's opinion, it is still not as good as studying in the master's sect.
"Junior brother, you may not know that my family has been working for Master Luo for generations. Whether I was learning martial arts in the martial arts hall or now I am learning martial arts in the county city, it was Master Luo who paid for it!"
Xiang Chenghua seemed to see the confusion on Zhang Chengyong's face and explained:
"Now that the sect is on holiday, I have nothing to do, so I come to be Mr. Luo's bodyguard and protect his safety. When the sect resumes classes, I will return to study!"
He is also a disciple of Zhang Chengyong.
It is a martial arts academy opened in the county town. Apart from the independent enrollment in the county town, the rest are based on recommendations from martial arts schools in the surrounding counties of Fengyin County. After passing the assessment, one can become a student of the academy. The assessment is relatively simple, but graduation is very difficult.
Wait until all conditions are met one by one!
but.
If you don't need a diploma, then it doesn't matter.
Per year.
The college has two holidays, which are said to be a combination of work and rest for students to relax, but in fact it is a chance for students to make money. After all, practicing martial arts is an extremely expensive thing. Except for those students who have mines at home, it is difficult for the families of other students to support the consumption of a large amount of resources for practice.
That's why the school gives students vacations to let them make money on their own. No matter what they do, as long as they don't do anything bad and can make money, the school won't care. If they show good abilities in school, they can also find a job with first-class benefits through the school's introduction.
So much so that at the end of every holiday, there are always students who cannot return for various reasons, but most of them lose their lives while performing their missions.
Zhang Chengyong looked at Xiang Chenghua with envy, he never thought that he would have such a relationship with the Luo family. No wonder he could be a guard of the Luo family at such a young age.
"Chenghua, do you know this little brother?"
Luo Taiqing walked over briskly and said in surprise.
Xiang Chenghua's ancestors have worked for the Luo family for generations. They share the same fate, and Xiang Chenghua is one of the Luo family's foundation. Xiang Chenghua is also one of the younger generations he thinks highly of, so there is naturally no need for him to act like a master in front of Xiang Chenghua.
Xiang Chenghua replied, "Master, this is my junior brother. He is still practicing martial arts in the Benlei Martial Arts Hall. He is one of the most promising disciples of the current hall master. I'm afraid it won't be long before he is recommended by the hall master to practice martial arts in the county!"
"Oh, I didn't expect there is such a connection!"
Luo Taiqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with emotion: "Little brother, I didn't expect that we have this kind of relationship. Without mentioning my relationship with the Wang family, just talking about your relationship with Cheng Hua, I should give you a mount!"
