Duan Rong unfastened his badge and handed it to the old man.
The old man took it, examined it carefully under the dim evening light, looked up at Duan Rong, and asked, "Are you an Apprentice Escort Master?"
Duan Rong nodded.
The old man returned the badge to Duan Rong, chuckled, and said, "An Apprentice Escort Master coming to brew potions; you seem to be the first one!"
"One piece of silver."
Duan Rong took out one piece of broken silver and handed it to the old man.
The old man accepted it and handed Duan Rong a key with a boiler number on it.
Duan Rong took the key; the old man covered himself with a quilt and lay back down.
Duan Rong glanced at the greasy, dirty quilt and shook his head slightly.
This old man was no ordinary person.
Ordinary people couldn't enter the middle courtyard to guard the medicine furnace room.
He was the father of Luan Jingfu, the current Chief Leader of Yuan Shun Escort Agency.
