To the east of Shengguo, on the official road, a group of several chariots and horses, guarded by swords, marched eastward slowly and in an orderly manner.
In the team, they were all walking together, but there were obvious differences.
In front and behind are burly men dressed as warriors with strong horses and short fighting, each with a strong posture, sharp eyes, and a long knife at his waist.
In the middle were three carriages with tall horses. Surrounding the carriages were a dozen guards dressed as thugs who were also riding horses. These guards did not have the sharpness of the big men with swords. They did not have long knives on their waists, only thick arms. long stick.
They are obviously two groups of people, but they are walking together.
At the front of the team, a middle-aged man with a scar from the corner of his eye to the back of his ear looked up at the sky and sent the muscular man following him to the carriage in the middle to tell him about tonight's arrangements.
They are a well-known escort agency in the capital of Shengguo. They were hired by the carriage owner Mr. Xu to escort the Xu family to the neighboring country of Qianguo to join their relatives.
This trip will take at least half a year to go back and forth. However, by taking this trip, you can earn hundreds of taels. If you pick up another order on the way back, each of the thirty brothers in their escort agency can earn a few hundred taels. With ten taels, I can buy more things for my parents, wife and children when I go back.
Head Guard Han thought about the benefits of this trip, and a soft smile appeared on his face unconsciously. At the same time, the strong man who went to inform Mr. Xu's family also came back.
"Boss, Mr. Xu said it's no problem. Everything is subject to our arrangements."
Biao Han nodded. Mr. Xu was quite easy to talk to and didn't make random requests.
The section of road they passed through in the past few days was the border area between Sheng Kingdom and Qian Kingdom. Not only was it sparsely populated, the road was not easy to walk on, and there were few inns, so they had to sleep outside for a few nights.
They had escorted many wealthy businessmen and officials. When they told these people that they wanted to stay in the wild, they all got into trouble. Mr. Xu didn't have so many requirements, but he was still a good employer.
"Go and talk to Mr. Xu. We have walked this road several times. There is a dilapidated temple nearby. It is not a good one, but at least we don't have to blow the wind and squeeze the carriage. When the time comes, we will go hunting again, and I will definitely give it to Mr. Xu and his family. Add some game." Employers are easy to talk to, so they naturally have to show sincerity.
The dilapidated temple that Head Guard Han mentioned was a mountain temple. It was not big, but it was more than enough to accommodate Mr. Xu's family.
When the sky began to turn dusky, the team also arrived at the mountain temple. Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, who was covering her face with a fan, and the rest of her family members walked into the mountain temple surrounded by maid guards.
The remaining guards gathered around the entrance of the mountain temple, while the escorts set up tents and built a fire outside. A few more people carried bows and arrows and headed into the forest.
Head Guard Han did not leave. The safety of his employer came first and he could not leave easily.
"Dad! Are Uncle Liu and the others going hunting? I want to go too." Head Guard Han finished checking the safety of the area. Before he could sit down, a pretty figure jumped on him.
"Nonsense! If you weren't crying to come out, how could I have brought you out to escort you? With your three-legged cat skills and hunting, don't cause trouble." Han escort looked at the coquettish little girl hanging on his body with a headache. His daughter, his daughter, has been fond of wielding knives and guns since she was a child. She is only thirteen years old. She runs to the escort agency all day long. If she catches someone in the escort agency, she will spar. The brothers often make concessions for his sake. It actually gave this girl the illusion that she was good at martial arts.
This time, the escort was crying and clamoring to follow him. In the end, he secretly hid in the food and supplies carriage and followed him. The Korean escort was almost furious.
Han Duoer wore her hair in a high ponytail, with two braids hanging down her chest. Because she had been wielding swords and guns all year round, her honey-colored skin revealed the unique vitality of a girl. She pouted when she heard this. Mouth, obviously not very convinced by his father's words.
"Boss, Mrs. Xu said she wanted to wash up and wanted us to fetch water." The escort from the escort agency came over with a woman dressed as a maid and said.
"Boss Han, our wife and young lady want to wash up. I wonder if we can trouble the big guys from the escort agency to fetch some buckets of water." The maid in blue saluted with a very gentle attitude.
Females love to be clean. Head Guard Han can understand that, especially those from wealthy families. He immediately nodded cheerfully and said, "I wonder how much water the ladies and ladies want."
Seeing that the escort leader Han agreed readily, the maid in blue also smiled and said, "Not much, just twenty barrels."
Twenty barrels? Although there is a stream nearby, the way back and forth is not smooth after all, and it takes a quarter of an hour to go back and forth. Even if they are martial arts practitioners, leaving twenty people to garrison and sending five people there will still take three or four trips.
Head Guard Han frowned. It seemed that so much water was needed for bathing. It was really troublesome to bathe in the wild. He usually just wiped it once or twice and then washed himself when he arrived at the inn tomorrow. However, Mr. Xu is a good employer, so this matter That's not bad. When the time comes, send one or two more brothers to fetch water. It will make them faster, and it will also be a good exercise.
"Twenty barrels? That's so much. Why don't you ask your guards to fetch water? Our escort agency is only protecting your safety, not being slaves." Before escort leader Han could speak, Han Duoer exploded first, right in the wild. He slept one night, just wiped himself down, and took a shower. It was pretentious. There were so many guards, why not let them fetch water.
Before the maid in blue could speak, a girl wearing a golden necklace popped out from behind her, pointing at Han Duo'er with her white fingers, "Wild girl, my family has paid you money, but you can't use it anymore?"
"You! Are you looking for a fight?" Han Duoer raised his eyebrows and made a slight clicking sound from his clenched fist. With his angry little face, it was very bluffing.
The girl with the necklace was so frightened that she took two steps back, hid behind the maid in blue, pulled the maid's sleeve and shouted, "Xia Tao, teach me a lesson for this wild girl!"
Xia Tao, the maid in blue, and Han Biaotou, each held a very big head.
For the Escort Bureau, this little thing is not a challenge or a embarrassment. After traveling for so many years, he has never encountered anything or seen anyone, so it doesn't matter.
Xia Tao is the maid next to Mrs. Xu. She knows that although her wife looks down on these warriors, she also knows that she has to rely on others to keep her safe along the way, so how can she be easily offended.
There is still more than a month's journey to the capital of Qian Kingdom.
The Korean escort who was about to lower his head to scold his daughter raised his thick eyebrows and instantly pulled his daughter behind him. He put one hand on the long knife at his waist and looked sharply at the trees and grass not far away.
When the escorts around Head Guard Han saw Head Guard Han's actions, they all stood up, holding long swords in their hands and looking around with vigilant expressions.
Xia Tao held the young lady in her arms. She didn't know what happened, but looking at the situation, something seemed wrong.
Swish, swish.
The grass made a rustling sound, and the swishing sound got closer and closer.
The long sword on Han Biao's head and waist was slightly unsheathed, reflecting a slight cold light.
The swishing sound suddenly stopped at the edge of the grass. A foot wearing black cloth shoes stepped out of the grass first, then a fair and slender hand, and finally, a young man in green clothes emerged from the grass.
The thirteen-year-old boy had jade-like skin, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of clear eyes. He held a snow-white kitten in one hand in his arms, looked up at the crowd, and showed a smile as warm as the morning sun.
Everyone's eyes lit up, they saw what a handsome young man with outstanding appearance!
