The red board of the Dragon's Might Escort Office was particularly dazzling under the morning sunlight.
People were streaming in from the street, but Huang'er didn't want to get up. Liu Qing had called her a few times already. Since she was in the escort office now, she had a lot of things to decide for herself.
Usually, these matters were handled by her second senior brother, Cai Daoping. Now that she was here, he completely relinquished his authority. He said that he wanted to train her and prepare her for the entire escort team.
Thinking about this, Huang'er got angry. She sat up and said to herself: ”What do you mean for my own good? I think it's because he saw me coming that he wanted to go out and drink and gamble!”
Liu Qing was about to wake Huang'er up again, but saw her sitting on the bed with an unhappy face, so she smiled and said: ”First Miss, getting up from the bed isn't good for you. It's easy for you to get old!”
Huang'er was still angry and said, ”It's none of your business!”
Liu Qing curled her lips before continuing to smile and say: ”Okay okay okay, First Miss, I don't care, but a customer came to the escort office and wanted you to talk to him personally!”
Huang'er got out of bed and said reluctantly: ”Why do you want me to talk to him personally? Where's Second Brother? ”
Liu Qing replied: ”He went out early today! ”Ever since you came, senior brother Cai has rarely stayed in the escort office!”
Huang'er humphed and continued: ”This time, when I go back, I must properly report him to my father. ”Liu Qing is always at the escort office. Who is in charge of the escort office's business?”
Liu Qing replied, ”Miss, when you didn't come, Brother Cai was at the escort company all day!”
Surprised, Huang'er said: ”Oh! I didn't know he was so good! ”
Liu Qing urged, ”My lady, let's go quickly. Otherwise, the owner will be worried!”
As the two women talked, they went into the lobby of the escort office to meet the owner.
This time, the dart was sent to the Western Xia. The dart was expensive, so the head of the escort office was asked to conduct an interview. The owner was an old man with a thick Western Xia accent. When he saw that it was a girl, he smiled and said, ”I didn't expect a young lady like you to be able to run such a large escort company. I'm truly impressed!”
Huang'er cupped her hands and said, ”I dare not! Long Wei Escort Office was started by my father, and this branch is under the management of my second senior brother Cai Daoping. Since he has matters to attend to today, he is temporarily absent, so I can only temporarily replace him! ”
The old man waved his hand and said, ”It's alright. It's just that the goods I'm entrusting are rather valuable, so it's better if the head of the escort company checks that there's no mistake. Silver is not a problem!”
The old man then asked the servant to bring over a three-foot-long walnut box, which he slowly placed on the table. As the old man gently opened the box, a shining sword appeared before Huang'er's eyes. The sword's shape was a straight sword, the sword's blade was about three fingers wide, about three feet long, the sword's hilt was about two inches long, the handle was gold-plated, and the end of the handle was embedded with agate and jasper.
When Huang'er saw the sword, she said, ”The Western Xia Country used their sword crafting techniques to look down on the Central Plains. Why did you send this sword to the Western Xia?!”
The old man said, ”The Western Xia is indeed famous for forging swords in the Central Plains, but the Western Xia is a small and narrow place. In order to truly forge a peerless sword, one must not only have an extremely high skill, but also the right time and the right time to do so. This sword looks ordinary, but it's the only reason this old man came all the way to the Central Plains! ”
