Chapter 201: A Visitor from the City
Team leader Yang sat calmly in the middle of the spacious and bright hall. After chatting with everyone for a while, he was carefully carried into his own yard by Yang Jiu and his men.
Meanwhile, Shopkeeper Yang methodically directed the other staff members to their respective tasks. Meanwhile, Father Zhu followed into the courtyard and into Team Leader Yang's room. He carefully examined Team Leader Yang's wounds and, with concern, advised, "Rest well and don't move around. Rest for a few days." With that, Father Zhu finally left with a sense of relief.
The one who stayed behind to take care of Team Leader Yang was naturally Yang Jiu.
Team leader Yang said to Yang Jiu, "Hurry up and prepare the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."
Yang Jiu didn't dare delay and quickly replied, "I'll do it right away!" In a short while, Yang Jiu had prepared all the necessary materials and began to grind the ink carefully. Once the ink was fine and even, Team Leader Yang gently lifted his pen, dipped it in the ink, and then wrote a letter with a flourish. After finishing, he paused briefly, examining it to make sure it was correct. Then, he handed the letter to Yang Jiu and instructed, "Deliver this letter to the designated person immediately. No mistakes!" Yang Jiu took the letter with both hands, nodded solemnly, and quickly walked out of the room.
Just as Yang Jiu was about to leave, there was a sudden knock on the door. It turned out to be Shopkeeper Yang rushing over.
He shouted through the door, "Second Master, someone is coming from the capital."
Upon hearing this, Team Leader Yang's heart sank. He frowned and asked, "Why would anyone come from the capital at this time? Did you spread the news?"
Shopkeeper Yang quickly explained, "Second Master, when Escort Zhao came to report that the caravan had encountered a mudslide, Second Master was afraid something might have happened. I was worried about you, so I immediately sent someone to the capital at full speed to report the news. Logically, they should have received the news and sent someone over... but now it's like this. Could something have gone wrong along the way?"
Before Shopkeeper Yang could finish, Team Leader Yang interrupted him impatiently and asked, "Did the messenger come back with him? And who came this time?"
Shopkeeper Yang shook his head and replied, "The messenger hasn't returned yet. I heard he fell ill on the way. As for the person who came this time, he's very young and looks very unfamiliar. I've arranged for him to wait outside."
Team Leader Yang thought for a moment, then ordered, "If that's the case, then call someone to carry me out to see him."
Shopkeeper Yang did not dare to delay and quickly called two strong waiters, carefully lifted up Team Leader Yang, and slowly walked towards the hall.
After a while, they arrived at a spacious and bright hall. They saw a man in tight clothes standing there, his face covered in dust, looking exhausted and tired.
When the man saw Team Leader Yang being carried in, he quickly knelt on both knees, kowtowed respectfully, and said loudly: "I am Li Quan, the humble servant, and I pay my respects to the Second Master."
Team Leader Yang took a closer look, a hint of surprise on his face, and asked doubtfully, "Are you Li Quan? The Quan kid?"
Li Quan nodded quickly and said, "That's right, Second Master!"
Team Leader Yang raised his hand to support him, "Hurry up, get up, let me take a good look."
Li Quan slowly stood up and walked forward. After taking a few cautious steps forward, he lowered his head slightly. This posture allowed Team Leader Yang to observe him more clearly and comprehensively.
