Chapter 211 Huang Qing

This morning, just after dawn, Duan Rong dragged his exhausted body back to Xiangu County.

The energy consumption of jumping from the top of the cliff was even greater than climbing up. Duan Rong barely managed to reach the bottom of the cliff.

At that time, his internal breath had completely dried up, and his body had no strength at all. He also drank up the soup in the gourd on his waist halfway up the mountain.

At that moment, he was even extremely weak and dangerous, and an ordinary warrior could easily kill him!

Fortunately, Duan Rong's consciousness was released, and he was sure that there was no one within a hundred meters.

Duan Rong panted and sat at the bottom of the cliff for a long time before he finally recovered some strength and rushed back to Xiangu County!

Duan Rong had breakfast on the street and returned to Liulu. He strode into the room as soon as he entered the courtyard, picked up a gourd on the table, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

There were three gourds on the table, all filled with green medicinal soup.

After taking a few gulps, Duan Rong didn't care about the stinking sweat and dust on his body, and fell on the bed, sleeping like a dead dog.

Duan Rong slept until the afternoon.

He lay on the bed and moved his body, and found that his internal energy had recovered, and it was obviously stronger.

Duan Rong's eyes flickered. He practiced in Gushan for a day and a night, which was equivalent to standing in the courtyard for three days!

Duan Rong thought about it and decided to go to Gushan every three days in the future.

Gushan is good, but it squeezes the Dantian too clean. If you do it every day, it is easy to hurt the foundation of the Dantian. But once every three days, it should be fine. Every time it is squeezed dry, stand in the courtyard for two days to recover...

Duan Rong thought about it, got up from the bed, went to the courtyard and washed himself thoroughly.

It was already afternoon. Duan Rong finished washing and went to the street to eat something. After eating, he was originally going to return to Liulu to stand, but when he walked to the martial arts arena, he suddenly heard several fellow disciples discussing the monthly salary.

Duan Rong calculated the date and found that today was the seventh day of the first lunar month, the day for the monthly salary.

Although the monthly salary of the escort was almost the same as a hair to Duan Rong now, it was not worth mentioning.

But he still went to collect the monthly salary every month, at least to make himself look normal. Who doesn't collect monthly salary for several months?

And last time, because of Ruan Jing's matter, Ruan Fengshan specially approved a training fee of one thousand taels for him, saying that it would be paid to him monthly.

But he only collected it once. When he went to collect it in the second month, the general accountant Xu Shouxian said that the escort agency had spent a lot of money recently and there was no extra money in the account, so he asked him to come back in two months.

Now it's almost time, and he should go to collect the second month's silver.

Duan Rong turned his footsteps and went to the backyard from the martial arts arena.

The escorts usually go to the account office in the middle courtyard to receive their monthly wages. But Duan Rong wants to go to Xu Shouxian to receive the special training fee. Xu Shouxian usually stays in the account office in the backyard and rarely comes to the middle courtyard.

Duan Rong walked to the backyard door and explained his intention to the guard at the door. The guard did not make things difficult for him. He looked at his badge and let him in.

Duan Rong walked into the account office in the backyard and saw account books piled on several tables in the hall. Several apprentice accountants were flipping through the account books with pens and copying the accounts.

Duan Rong knew one of them. His name was Huang Qing. He was the apprentice accountant who lived next to Duan Rong when he lived in the dormitory in the middle courtyard.

It is not easy to get into the account office. There are many ways to do it. It is difficult to get started without a few years of immersion and contemplation.

Duan Rong is not very clear about other places, but in Yuanshun Escort Agency, it is said that it is more difficult for an apprentice accountant to be promoted than an escort.

As soon as Duan Rong entered the door, several people looked up at him. Although others did not know Duan Rong, Huang Qing recognized him at a glance and said with a smile: "Brother Duan, it's been a while since we last met! How come you have time to come to our backyard account office?"

Duan Rong smiled. When he lived in the dormitory, he and Huang Qing often greeted each other, but they were not close friends. However, Huang Qing was still very enthusiastic when he saw him.

"Brother Huang, you are in the center, you are not like us rough guys, you can see us whenever you want." Duan Rong said with a smile.

Duan Rong said the backyard account office as the center, which not only flattered Huang Qing, but also the other account apprentices.

As soon as Duan Rong finished speaking, several account apprentices looked up and smiled at Duan Rong, obviously very pleased.

Huang Qing said, "Brother Duan, you are joking. Although the backyard account office is important, I am just helping out and doing some odd jobs."

Duan Rong glanced at Huang Qing and felt that he was quite steady. He smiled and said, "Brother Huang is humble."

Duan Rong stopped talking nonsense and changed the subject, asking, "I wonder if General Accountant Xu is here?"

Huang Qing's eyes moved and said, "Yes. In the east ear room. Brother Duan can go there by yourself."

Duan Rong clasped his fists and walked towards the east ear room.

When the account apprentices heard that Duan Rong was looking for the general accountant Xu Shouxian, they immediately started to discuss.

"Who is this person? He doesn't look very old, but he is looking for General Accountant Xu?"

No mistake, just look at the one-post-one-content-one-6-9-book-one-bar!

Huang Qing saw people were curious and talking, so he said, "He is Duan Rong."

"He is Duan Rong?"

"The one who saved Master Ruan Jing?"

"He looks very young, and speaks in a gentle and polite manner..."

It would have been better if Huang Qing didn't say anything. Once he did, those people started talking even more.

Duan Rong walked into the east corridor. There were four rooms in the east wing, with doorplates of A, B, C, and D hanging in front of the door. Duan Rong walked slowly to the door of Room A and was about to knock on the door when the door of the innermost room suddenly opened. A thin-faced man with a gray beard walked out. He glanced at Duan Rong, took a few account books, and walked out.

Although Duan Rong was not clear about the personnel of the backyard account office, he obviously knew that the four rooms in the east wing were the most important places in the backyard account office.

East A was where Xu Shouxian, the general accountant, checked the accounts.

In East B and East C, Wang De'an and Zhu Shicheng sat respectively, both of whom were Xu Shouxian's confidants.

When Master Ruan Jing was in trouble, Ruan Fengshan asked Xiao Zongting to detain and guard four people. In addition to Zhou An, they were the three people in the backyard account office. From this, we can see their status in the account office.

However, the person who just walked out of the innermost ear room was obviously the person in charge of Dong Ding's room. But Duan Rong had never seen this person before, nor had he heard of him.

Duan Rong looked at the man's back and his eyes flashed. For some reason, he felt that the man's face was somewhat similar to Xu Shouxian.

Duan Rong turned his head and reached out to knock on the door three times until the man's back disappeared at the entrance of the corridor. Seeing no response from inside, Duan Rong paused for a few breaths and knocked on the door three times again with a little force.

After knocking on the door this time, Duan Rong stood there and waited quietly.

After a long while, he heard a long and old voice from inside, saying, "Come in!"
