Chapter 1268 He's Unconvinced
The old man nodded approvingly.
"What a fine man! Our escort agency will hire you as a bodyguard. Are you willing?"
Qiao Jushan puffed out his chest and said loudly.
"Yes, I'm here to make a living."
"Alright, go and wait aside."
The old man smiled and glanced at the list.
"Lin Er".
Ye Liangcai strode out of the crowd and stood at the front.
The old man nodded and read it again: "Lin San".
Lin Feng quickly squeezed through the crowd and stood at the front.
"You three brothers have all passed the assessment of this escort agency. I have already witnessed your three wonders and am very much looking forward to your fourth wonder."
Lin Feng said loudly, "Thank you for your appreciation. We brothers also look forward to Hongsheng Escort Agency growing bigger and stronger and achieving great things."
"Good luck, you'll see."
The old man nodded and smiled.
The twenty-five people were divided into three groups. Each group of seven people passed the assessment and officially became bodyguards for Hongsheng Escort Agency.
The other group consisted of ten people who had passed the assessment to become runners.
Another group of eight people failed the test and were each given ten large coins and asked to leave the escort agency.
Next, someone took those who had passed the assessment to their assigned accommodations.
The bodyguards lived in rooms of four, while the porters lived in shared dormitories of twenty or thirty people.
Lin Feng and his two companions naturally couldn't be separated, so along with another man around thirty years old, the four of them shared a room.
The room was very simple, with a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) taking up half the room. Bedding and straw mats were already placed on it, and it was emitting a musty smell.
Ye Liangcai frowned, but seeing that Lin Feng didn't care, he remained silent.
It wasn't mealtime yet, but the four of them sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed) talking.
The man, who was in his thirties, introduced himself as Xia Laicai from Jinhao Prefecture. He said he had been stranded here because his hometown was plagued by pirates.
Xia Laicai loudly praised Qiao Jushan's martial arts skills and physique, saying that he had never seen anything like it before and that today was truly an eye-opener.
This group of people had been paying attention to Qiao Jushan for a long time and wanted to see the martial arts skills of this super giant. Sure enough, he did not disappoint them.
Upon seeing the three Lin brothers again, all of them were highly skilled in martial arts, with Qiao Jushan being the most outstanding. As the eldest of the three brothers, he was undoubtedly the one who made the decisions.
Therefore, he was very flattering to Qiao Jushan.
The four men were boasting about their exploits in the martial arts world when they heard someone shouting outside.
"Lin Er, Lin San, someone is looking for you. Come out and see them."
All three were surprised. Who would come to see them when they were newcomers?
Ye Liangcai was the first to jump off the kang (a heated brick bed) and step out the door.
As a guard, one must naturally be diligent in speaking and moving around; this is the most basic requirement.
Qiao Jushan is huge and his movements are too slow, so he is not suitable for this kind of work. He is best suited to be a bodyguard, someone who can shield Lin Feng from swords and arrows.
A short while later, Ye Liangcai entered the room and looked at Lin Feng.
"Third brother, two women want to fight us."
Lin Feng was uninterested and waved his hand.
"You can handle it."
Qiao Jushan was about to get off the kang (a heated brick bed) when he suddenly turned to look at Xia Laicai.
"Together?"
Xia Laicai quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, you guys go, they didn't ask me to go."
Ye Liangcai and Qiao Jushan went out for a while, and the woman who had examined Lin Feng stepped in.
She was around thirty years old, with a good waist-to-hip ratio, a petite and delicate figure, an oval face, and although her skin was a bit dark, her bright black eyes were very attractive.
"Lin San, my young lady has come to challenge you to a duel. Why is it so difficult to invite her?"
She frowned, looking unwilling.
Lin Feng spread his hands: "Hey ladies, what kind of martial arts are you fighting with? Even if I win by luck, I won't feel any glory. If I lose, I'll look bad. So, tell me, why would I fight a fight that I won't win?"
"Do you look down on us women?"
"I have a high opinion of you women, but the problem is, people don't see it that way. Go out and ask around, how many women spend their days wielding swords and spears?"
"What's wrong with us wielding swords and spears? Are we inferior to you men?"
"Of course you're no worse than us men. I admire you women, but some people don't think that way."
The woman immediately glared and asked.
"Who, who dares to defy us women?"
Lin Feng pointed outwards with his thumb.
"For example, my son Lin Da is very dissatisfied. I hope you can help me beat him into submission, what do you say?"
The woman immediately shut her mouth.
How can I fight that guy who's even bigger than a brown bear?
His arm is thicker than his thigh; if you get even a little bit of it, you'll either die or get seriously injured.
Seeing that she had stopped moving, Lin Feng waved his hand.
"Go ahead, I admire you women from the bottom of my heart. Go and defeat Lin Da, I'm cheering you on."
The woman rolled her eyes and thought it made sense. People would submit without being hit, so why bother hitting them?
She turned and walked towards the door.
Xia Laicai watched the woman's figure disappear through the door, then gave Lin Feng a thumbs up.
"Impressive, I admire you."
Lin Feng lay on his back on the quilt.
"Take a nap, the mission is coming soon."
Xia Laicai asked curiously, "Ah, how did you know there would be a mission? We're just starting out."
"Why are you suddenly hiring so many people? Do you have so much food that you can't finish it all?"
Lin Feng closed his eyes and mumbled something.
Xia Laicai nodded: "That's true. No one has more money than they can spend. I'm afraid the task is not simple."
He muttered to himself, lay down fully clothed on the rolled-up blanket, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
In the courtyard, Ye Liangcai and Qiao Jushan were glaring at two women.
One was a woman around thirty years old, and the other was tall, with a fair complexion and red lips, very beautiful, and looked to be under twenty years old, very young.
The young woman frowned and asked when she saw the woman, who looked to be around thirty, come out of the house on her own.
"Sister Hu, how is it?"
Sister Hu shook her head: "He said he admires us, but Lin Da is very disdainful of us. Miss, who should we fight?"
Which one is Lin Da?
Sister Hu raised her hand and pointed at Qiao Jushan.
"it's him."
Qiao Jushan secretly grinned. "So, the boss just sold me out like that?"
The young lady turned to look at Ye Liangcai.
"You must be Lin Er. We both use swords, how about we exchange a few blows?"
Ye Liangcai smiled wryly: "Miss, I admire you all too, but my eldest son is not convinced. You should beat him into submission first."
Qiao Jushan turned and glared at Ye Liangcai.
Ye Liangcai spread his hands and shrugged at him.
This movement was learned from Lin Feng and is very similar.
Qiao Jushan sighed inwardly. Since the boss had spoken, he was obviously shifting the trouble onto him. Of course, he couldn't shirk this responsibility any longer.
"Yes, I disagree with you. Who wants to go first?"
He slammed the stick in his hand down, his eyes widened, and the ground shook.
The young lady's large, clear eyes darted around.
"Who wants you to submit? This is ridiculous. Sister Hu, let's go. They're all cowards."
After saying that, she turned and left, and Sister Hu quickly followed, not even glancing at Qiao Ye and the other person again.
When it was time for dinner, Lin Feng and his two companions, along with a group of bodyguards and escorts, rushed to the dining hall. A long row of wooden tables was set with bowls, plates, and chopsticks.
Everyone needs to take their bowls and chopsticks and line up to get their meals.
All newcomers have to be at the end of the line.
Originally, the bodyguards were in front, followed by the porters, who received their meals in turn.
However, the newly arrived bodyguards were also assigned to the back, and the new escorts were even behind them.
