Chapter 18 Escorting Goods
"This time we're going to Lechun County in Dongjiang Prefecture, a six-day journey." Liu Dali took out a money pouch from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Bieli, saying:
"This is the deposit; the other half will be paid when we return."
"With the reputation of my Weixin Escort Agency, nothing usually goes wrong."
"We invited Young Master Shen to accompany us on this escort mission just to be on the safe side. If there is anything we need Young Master Shen to do, the reward will be doubled."
Xiao Bieli touched his money pouch; inside were several dozen taels of silver.
Although it wasn't as generous as when Ma Rufeng asked him to help deal with Tianlang Village, it was still quite generous.
After all, it would be quite risky to take action against Tianlang Village, and Ma Rufeng had a blood feud with Tianlang Village for killing his son. However, it was a six-day escort mission, and it was only to the neighboring Linshui County, which was not a difficult mission. Perhaps he wouldn't even need to take action.
Wang Yuan, thinking Xiao Bieli was unwilling to agree, moved closer to Xiao Bieli and whispered:
"Weixin Escort Agency has extensive connections in Dongjiang County. If we can gain their friendship, it will be much easier for Young Master Shen to obtain any pills or medicinal herbs he needs for his training."
Wang Yuan knew that although Shen Lang was younger than him, his background was definitely not simple. Moreover, he had personally witnessed Shen Lang kill the fifth leader of Tianlang Village in just a few moves.
Moreover, later, members of the Sanjiang Alliance appeared from Tianlang Village. Of their group of more than twenty people, only four survived.
He and Zhu Shou were both in a sorry state, but Shen Lang was completely unharmed.
His martial arts skills are probably higher than anyone imagines.
Ghostwriters are inherently risky, and having a powerful friend means they can work together on bounties that were previously impossible to complete, once they have a lead.
"it is good!"
"I'll take on this escort mission!" Xiao Bieli said calmly.
Since there are people following him in the shadows now, it proves that Baiyun Manor still has some suspicions about him. It's a good opportunity to leave for a while under the guise of Weixin Escort Agency.
Moreover, the destination of this shipment from Weixin Escort Agency was Lechun County.
Although he hadn't been in this world for long and hadn't even met the original owner's father, the original owner was, after all, someone his father had risked his life to save. Since he had the chance, he should settle the score for the murder of his father.
The Cangyuan Sword Sect is temporarily untouchable, and Xiao Fusheng is only a seventh-rank cultivator, so killing him shouldn't be a big problem.
Liu Dali smiled:
"Meet at the East Gate first thing tomorrow morning!"
"See you then, Brother Shen!"
……
Baiyun Villa.
"Third Master, the commotion is still too small!" Liu Jun said to Zhou Chang with some dissatisfaction.
During this period, although Zhou Chang caused seven or eight deaths, they were all people who were not well-known in Dongjiang County, and the commotion he caused was not significant.
If Senior Brother Zhuo were to question him, he would think he hadn't done anything.
Zhou Chang frowned and said:
"Seven or eight lives have already been lost. If this continues, I'm afraid the master will be displeased!"
Although their lineage holds a high position within Baiyun Manor, he is not the true master of Baiyun Manor.
If it gets too serious,
He's probably going to be held accountable.
He estimated that if the manor lord hadn't known that he was working for the Cangyuan Sword Sect disciples and had inexplicably killed seven or eight people, the manor lord would have intervened long ago.
Liu Jun shook his head and said:
"Third Master, the 'Tracking Gu' is almost here. Please make some more noise for me."
"This is the last time, and aren't there still two of those people you mentioned before who resemble Xiao Bieli?"
Zhou Chang frowned:
"Those two have confirmed that it shouldn't be Xiao Bieli. Huang Yiping is Lu Zhao's disciple, the 'Wind and Thunder Blade,' while 'Shen Lang' has martial arts skills that are at least at the mid-stage of the seventh rank or even the late stage of the seventh rank. Although he also uses swordsmanship, Xiao Bieli is only seventeen years old. How could he have such strength?"
Liu Jun said calmly:
"'Wind and Thunder Blade' Lu Zhao is only a sixth-grade early stage cultivator. Third Master, just do your thing. If Lu Zhao dares to come down the mountain, when my Liu family's experts arrive, someone will naturally deal with him."
"Killing the disciple of a renowned 'sixth-rank' master should make it seem like I'm making amends!"
"As for Shen Lang, let's deal with him as well!"
Zhou Chang said in a deep voice:
"Young Master Liu, this is the last time."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to cover it up either."
……
Early the next morning.
Xiao Bieli arrived at the East Gate, but Liu Dali and the others had not yet arrived.
However, after only about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a caravan loaded with goods came out of the city gate.
Liu Dali and his group of bodyguards were also inside.
The caravan was quite large, with twenty or thirty people in the caravan itself, plus nearly twenty bodyguards, making a total of about fifty people.
"Brother Shen, over here!" Liu Dali greeted Xiao Bieli immediately upon seeing him.
Xiao Bieli nodded slightly.
Everyone in the group looked at Xiao Bieli. Liu Dali had already informed them that he had found a master to help with this escort mission, but they did not expect that the person Liu Dali had found would be so young.
"This time, we'll have to rely on Young Hero Shen."
Manager Qian, the owner of the caravan, cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Bieli. Although he also felt that the person Liu Dali had found was too young, he believed that with the reputation of Weixin Escort Agency, nothing should go wrong on the road.
Moreover, the Weixin Escort Agency produced two seventh-rank experts on this trip. Their merchant guild also had a seventh-rank expert, so ordinary bandits couldn't do anything to them.
After exchanging a few pleasantries,
The caravan then set off.
Xiao Bieli rode his horse at the very back of the procession.
"Hey, why did Uncle Dali ask you to take on this escort mission?"
The one who spoke was Cheng Min, the only female bodyguard in the group. She was dressed in a clean and neat belted samurai outfit, her hair was tied back, and she had a beautiful face.
The moment Cheng Min appeared beside him,
Xiao Bieli immediately felt the gazes of several young bodyguards fall upon him.
My lady, my gentleman is good.
He could understand the way these people looked at him. In his previous life, when he was in school, his goddess would laugh and joke with other male classmates, seemingly indifferent, but in reality, she was lost in thought.
Moreover, this Cheng Min's surname is "Cheng," which suggests she might have some connection with the two chief镖师 (chief镖师) of the Weixin镖局 (security escort agency).
However, none of these things concerned him.
“Someone introduced us,” Xiao Bieli said truthfully.
Cheng Min leaned close to Xiao Bieli and whispered:
"I heard you were also present at the battle at Tianlang Village a few days ago?"
"Has a sixth-rank expert made a move?"
"I heard that Senior Zhang Zhong, the master of 'Hun Yuan Shou', has gone missing."
Xiao Bieli nodded:
"I heard they've gone missing, but I don't know the specifics."
"I didn't see him when I came down the mountain!"
Cheng Min pouted: "How come you don't know anything!"
Seeing Cheng Min's expression, the young bodyguard in the group was heartbroken. You know, the young lady is known for being aloof in the escort agency. When have you ever seen her with such an expression?
The caravan was traveling on the official road, and at their speed, they should have reached the county town ahead today. Unfortunately, the weather was uncooperative; they had only been on their journey for half a day when large dark clouds appeared in the sky, as if a downpour was about to fall at any moment.
"Captain Liu, we can't go any further."
"This is full of dyes and fabrics; it must not come into contact with water!"
Manager Qian's face was grim.
These dyed fabrics are quite valuable. Although they have been waterproofed, he can't guarantee that they won't get wet in a downpour.
These things are worth a third of his fortune, otherwise he wouldn't have made this trip in person.
"Look at the sky, it'll just be a shower!" Liu Dali laughed.
"Don't worry, Manager Qian. There's a dilapidated temple ahead. Although it's been abandoned for over ten years, it can still provide shelter from the wind and rain."
"Let's go to the dilapidated temple ahead to take shelter from the rain first, and then we'll set off again after this rain stops."
