Chapter 265
"Sister...I..."
"Who is your sister? You are so clumsy. Get out!" Tang Zhu scolded.
Tang Xiang's tears welled up in her eyes. She felt very low in presence, and no one spoke up for her. She seemed to be used to it: "Yes!"
Guan Ning and Sheng Qi looked at each other.
Why is there such a big gap between these sisters?
Guan Ning opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but then he thought that this was someone else's family affair and he had no right to interfere, so he ended up saying nothing.
After a while, Tang Jiu came in and seemed to have taken care of the things outside.
"Meet the Escort Master!"
"Meet my father."
"Master Escort." Guan Ning also stood up and gestured.
"Hahaha, little brother, no need to be so polite. Come, sit down." Tang Jiu smiled generously and patted his shoulder, appearing very polite.
Guan Ning raised an eyebrow: "Master Tang is so happy, is the matter outside settled?"
"Hahaha, thanks to you two, not only was it handled, but among those people just now was a great enemy of our escort agency, and he has been handed over to the authorities. This is a blessing in disguise!"
"Come, little brother, I'll offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."
"I, Tang Jiu, owe you a huge favor!" Tang Jiu picked up the tea.
Guan Ning smiled, picked up the tea and said, "Congratulations, Master Escort."
After saying that, he drank the tea in one gulp.
Then he quickly said, "To be honest, I really have something I would like to ask for your help."
"What's the matter? Little brother, just tell me what you want to do."
"By the way, I still don't know your name."
"Yes!" Tang Zhu standing aside also asked curiously.
Sheng Qi felt a little uncomfortable, but Guan Ning blurted out, "My name is Ning Que."
"I'm planning to go to Zizhou on business. I have something I'd like Master Tang to escort to the capital. Is that possible?"
Hearing this, Tang Jiu was stunned for a moment. "I thought it was something else, but it turns out to be just escorting. This is a small problem, little brother, give it to me. I guarantee with my life that I will deliver it to you!"
Seeing this, Guan Ning took out the brocade bag he had prepared, which contained a letter.
"Master Tang, this is it. Please help me deliver it to Jing'an Temple in the capital, but don't send it inside the temple. Just put it under the second stone table outside the east gate of the temple."
It was his secret base for communication with Abbot Yangwen, and it was safe enough.
Tang Jiu was stunned for a moment. Although he was curious, the escort agency had its own rules and would not ask what was being escorted.
"Don't worry, I will escort you there."
"In that case, thank you very much, Master." Guan Ning bowed and then took out a silver ingot.
Before he could say anything, Tang Jiu immediately said, "Hey, little brother, what are you doing? You saved my daughter's life, but you can't count on this escort?"
"Giving me money means you look down on me, Tang?"
Guan Ning smiled bitterly, hesitated for a moment, and took back the silver: "Okay, thank you, Master Escort."
Tang Jiu's expression improved: "That's right."
"By the way, little brother, don't leave today. I'll host a banquet for you and this brother at home. I've already had someone clean up the guest room."
Guan Ning declined politely: "Master, I appreciate your kindness, but we have to hurry on our way, so we won't stay any longer."
He didn't want to implicate anyone. If after he left, Zhao Tai's men found out that Ziwu Escort Agency had taken him in, then everyone in the Ziwu Escort Agency would probably be wiped out, so he was extremely determined.
Seeing this, Tang Jiu hesitated.
At this time, Tang Zhu frowned and kept looking at Tang Jiu, trying to keep Guan Ning.
Tang Jiu doted on his daughter very much and hesitated for a moment: "Little brother, how about this, having a meal won't delay anything, right?"
"I see you two are from out of town, so let me show some hospitality, what do you think?"
Guan Ning was helpless, and refusing again would be somewhat disrespectful.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay, then my two brothers will eat before we leave. In that case, I'll trouble the escort agency."
"Hahaha, no trouble, no trouble!"
"It's all as it should be."
"Someone, come here immediately to make room for the two distinguished guests to rest, and then find two sets of clean clothes. There is blood on the little brother's clothes from the fight just now." Tang Jiu shouted.
