Chapter 188 Tao Rong
Duan Rong came back from Black Tiger Hill just after dawn.
This trip also consumed a lot of money, and he almost ran the red horse to death. In the morning, he went to the car dealership to return the horse. The old man who inspected the horse had a dark face and deducted half of the deposit.
He went to the wild boar forest before, and although he ran the horse to the point of spitting white foam, there was always a few days between entering and leaving the wild boar forest, so that the horse could rest.
But this time, he ran back and forth overnight. Moreover, most of the horses in the car dealership were not really good horses, and they could not be compared with the horses of the escort team.
Although half of the deposit was deducted, Duan Rong did not want to refute it, and he rubbed his nose and accepted it.
You can't make a big fuss for this little money, and then expose your behavior, which is not worth it.
When Duan Rong walked out of the car dealership, he had already put the matter aside. He crossed the street and walked to the stall of the beef soup shop diagonally opposite.
Duan Rong found that after he killed someone, his hands couldn't stop shaking. It happened twice recently, and it seemed to have disappeared.
He didn't know whether he was adapting or numb.
Duan Rong drank a big bowl of beef soup and ate three big pancakes before he got up, burped, and walked back to Liulu with a shaky step.
After returning to Liulu, he climbed onto the bed and slept until the afternoon.
After waking up, Duan Rong washed himself thoroughly in the yard, put on his clothes, and went to the street to have lunch. After lunch, he returned to Liulu and stood in the stance until dusk.
Seeing the sunset scattering golden light on the willow trees in the courtyard, Duan Rong dispersed his energy, wiped the sweat from his forehead and body with a wet towel, and then his eyes moved. He left the escort agency and walked straight to a teahouse not far from the yamen gate.
Duan Rong went up to the second floor, picked a seat by the window and went down, ordered a pot of tea and a plate of snacks, and drank the tea while his eyes were always staring out the window.
From this position, you can just see the entrance of the county office.
In the teahouse, many people were chatting. Duan Rong suddenly wanted to listen to the recent discussions, so he suddenly released his consciousness.
The released consciousness covered the teahouse on the second floor.
The various noises in Duan Rong's ears suddenly gathered into a sea of news like a screen full of exploding bullet screens...
Duan Rong quickly screened the news, most of which were gossips about the family.
There were several tables of tea guests discussing the incident that the Ximen family was robbed by bandits on the road in the morning. All kinds of arrangements were made with details. If Duan Rong didn't know the whole story, he might have been fooled by those lobbyists.
However, there was still a piece of information that made Duan Rong pay attention. It was that a table of guests said that Tao Rong, the son of Tao Jiusong, the owner of the weapons shop, had recently achieved the fourth level of the inner breath realm.
Duan Rong was annoyed when he heard the message. "Another great success."
Duan Rong immediately withdrew his consciousness. There was a table sitting in the corner of the second floor. A few thieves were discussing the matter of scouting in a low voice. Duan Rong only glanced at them and ignored them. As long as the scouting did not step on his head, he would not care. Duan Rong did not even want to know who they stepped on.
In such a big world, there must be a few rats, right?
When Duan Rong drank half of the pot of tea, it was dusk outside the window and lanterns were hung at the gate of the government office.
In the dim dusk, a familiar figure suddenly walked out of the government office. Duan Rong saw the figure and immediately stood up and walked out of the teahouse quickly.
Yang Zhen looked tired and walked out of the gate of the county office with heavy steps.
The night before yesterday, Xie Daohan and Fan Yuanhai joined forces to capture the evil doctor Shen Ping in the brothel of Jinmao Lane.
Shen Ping is a master of the first level of the Qi Realm, and is quite good at using poison.
When the two captured Shen Ping, they had already beaten him severely. They stripped him of his clothes on the spot and put him in the death row like a dead dog without hair.
In the past two days, Xie Daohan and Fan Yuanhai interrogated him in turns. Fan Yuanhai even destroyed Shen Ping's Dantian during the afternoon interrogation.
Yang Zhen was taking notes of the two interrogations. After two days, Yang Zhen had already seen that Shen Ping had nothing to do with the case of Xu Ruhu and Xie Lei.
He saw it, and Xie Daohan and Fan Yuanhai naturally saw it too, so the interrogation of Shen Ping stopped in the afternoon.
Yang Zhen put Shen Ping, who was beaten into a blood gourd, back into the cell. Then, he put the two-day interrogation notes on Xie Daohan's desk after compiling them, and then walked out of the county government with a tired look.
Just as Yang Zhen walked to the entrance of an alley, a man suddenly jumped out of the shadows and rushed towards him.
Yang Zhen was startled and retreated violently. With a swish, he drew his knife and slashed at the man.
The man was very agile and dodged by turning sideways, shouting: "You want to kill me!"
When Yang Zhen heard the voice, his face was immediately full of black lines, and he said angrily: "It's dark, you jumped out of the alley and rushed to people, I deserve to kill you!"
Duan Rong saw that Yang Zhen was angry, so he hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Okay, okay. I'll be careful next time. I was just joking with you, wasn't I?"
"How can you joke like this?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Duan Rong apologized hurriedly.
Yang Zhen was angry because he thought that his knife just now might really hurt Duan Rong. But Duan Rong knew very well that Yang Zhen could not hurt him at all now. However, he didn't want to make his realm clear to this childhood friend, as that would be too frustrating for him.
A perfect post, read the content on the 6-9 book forum!
Duan Rong knew that Yang Zhen was actually quite proud. Moreover, he had been stronger than his original self since he was a child, and he had always taken care of Duan Rong as a weak younger brother. If he found out that Duan Rong was much stronger than him now, the contrast of frustration would definitely be very uncomfortable.
Yang Zhen saw that Duan Rong kept apologizing with a smile, and his anger finally subsided. He sheathed his knife and said, "What do you want to see me for?"
"Drinking!"
When Yang Zhen heard about drinking, he smiled and said, "You came at the right time. I'm almost exhausted recently and I just want to have a good drink."
"Of course, I'm the worm in your stomach!" Duan Rong said, touching Yang Zhen's belly with his hand.
Yang Zhen knocked Duan Rong's hand away and said, "I don't have roundworms in my stomach, only wine bugs!"
"Then I am a wine bug!"
"Why do you like being a bug so much?"
"What's wrong with being a bug? At least it's not as tiring as being a human!"
"Yeah, that makes sense. Then I'll be a bug too."
"Yeah, sure." Duan Rong said with a smile, "Be a stink bug."
"You're the fucking stink bug..."
The two of them laughed and walked out of the dark alley.
Under the dim light, Yang Zhen suddenly looked at Duan Rong and said, "Hey... Isn't this outfit nice? Are you officially a bodyguard?"
Duan Rong's heart moved, and then he remembered that the last time Yang Zhen saw him, he was still wearing shorts.
Duan Rong smiled and said, "How is it, not bad?"
Yang Zhen's eyes flickered, and he punched Duan Rong on the shoulder, saying, "Not bad! You have made it! Let's both work hard in the future."
In the dim light just out of the alley, Duan Rong looked at Yang Zhen with shining eyes, and he could feel a long-lost emotion rolling between the two of them. Yang Zhen's attitude towards Duan Rong has changed subtly. He began to treat Duan Rong as a partner of the same level, or it can be said that he began to respect Duan Rong in his heart.
