"The Qinghe River is prosperous, and I am united..."
The convoy left the city five miles away, the flag was displayed, and the driver opened the way in front, shouting loudly.
Qinghe Xinglong is the signboard of the escort agency, and Hewu is the slogan of the escort agency, which represents the peaceful coexistence of Heqi and Qi.
On the one hand, it strengthens one's own momentum, and on the other hand, if there are bandits and bandits ambushing halfway, it is best to call them in advance for convenience.
There are more than sixty people in the convoy. Excluding the coachmen, clerks and handymen, at least two-thirds of them are capable of fighting.
All grown men, not a single woman.
In high-risk industries such as sailors and escorts, the rule of not taking women with you has been around for a long time.
It's not superstition, it's because most of the people who work in this industry are young men in their prime of life, who are already prone to being impulsive towards women, especially under high-risk and high-pressure circumstances.
Regardless of whether the woman knows it or not, jealousy among members often occurs, and fights often occur, so there is this unwritten rule.
If there is a woman, most likely she will be old and ugly.
"Including me, there are five Qi realms." Yuan Cheng secretly told Zhao Lin.
When you practice martial arts to the Qi state, your blood will be full, and your strength will naturally be released. As long as you don't hide it deliberately, Qi state masters can sense each other.
Zhao Lin didn't know what kind of goods the escort was carrying, and it was inconvenient to ask, but since such a large force was dispatched, it must be very important goods.
Can these people just suppress the bandits on the road?
Not to mention the distance, the Diamond Mountain Leopard alone is said to have more than 200 people. There are also two groups of bandits outside the mountain, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
Yuan Cheng saw what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as we are careful along the way and don't let others take advantage of the loopholes, we will have more than enough manpower."
"Really, Mr. Li?"
His last words were addressed to the escort leader who was accompanying him.
Hearing this, head escort Li said: "That's right. This is your first time as an escort, isn't it? I don't know how to escort an escort, so I'll explain it to you."
"If a bodyguard agency wants to be successful, it must be able to fight, but it is not enough to be able to fight. There are many experts in the three mountains and five mountains. If you are against you in everything, no matter how many people are there, it will not matter. You are covered in iron and can twist a few nails. ?”
"It can be summed up in three hard words!"
Zhao Lin was very cooperative and said: "Which three are the tough ones?"
"The government must have a strong backing, the Green Forest must have strong connections, and the government itself must have strong skills."
The escort surnamed Li pointed to the escort team and said: "In our escort agency, there are retired agents and martial arts disciples. I dare not say that I have friends all over the world, but there are big and small forces along the way. If you pay homage, you won't be in trouble with us when the escort comes out."
"I see, I've learned a lot."
Zhao Lin suddenly realized that this was still a win-win enterprise.
Yuan Cheng interjected: "We have to give him a salute, but there must be no shortage of escorts. If the bandit Huzi thinks he can take it without any effort, they won't mind putting the dough in the creaking nest and grabbing it."
"That's the truth."
When the escort surnamed Li saw that Zhao Lin was a humble man and was willing to put down his dignity to ask for advice, he couldn't help but feel good about him, so he told him the inside story of the escort business.
Contrary to what Zhao Lin thought, the business of the escort agency is not only escorting, but actually has six major businesses: traveling escorts, guarding homes, remittances, staying in shops, staying overnight, and protecting Kuding.
The literal meaning of "Zoujinghuyuan" is not mentioned, but it is also easy to understand for remittances. The store is where the escorts are permanently stationed in the store to prevent people from maliciously looking for trouble and extortion.
The escort business covers all walks of life, except that it does not accept employment from casinos and brothels.
The reason is that these two industries are despised by the common people. Escort agencies cherish their reputation and do not want to be associated with them. Therefore, these two businesses are mostly taken over by gangs.
Sitting at night is also called sitting on the pond. Generally, wealthy families hire bodyguards to guard against bandits and theft during the New Year.
The last piece protects Kudin, the servant guarding the bank. Although the official position is small, it is a fat vacancy, and the money in the bank can be turned into losses by moving your fingers.
Therefore, thieves and strongmen love to target them, specializing in robbing Kudin, kidnapping and killing people.
So Kudin is willing to pay a bodyguard to look after the bank and protect his life.
"In short, to be a bodyguard in the world of martial arts, one must not only have excellent skills, but also understand the jargon of the world of martial arts and the rules of all walks of life."
Li Biaotou finally concluded.
"I've been taught a lesson!" Zhao Lin thanked him seriously.
Unknowingly, the convoy had left Qinghe County and was walking on a fertile field. From a distance, one could see large green fields and the crops were growing well.
Zhao Linxin said that the climate is really different every year, and this year may be a good year.
The convoy headed north along the official road, neither fast nor slow. When they encountered mountains and forests, they sent people to investigate in advance without stopping in the middle. They stayed in a town until night.
After checking into the inn, Zhao Lin took out a diamond pill and took it.
When he went out this time, Zhu Huaishan gave him twenty diamond pills in advance for him to practice on the road.
After taking the medicine, Zhao Lin practiced the six-character mantra for an hour.
He has now become proficient in breathing and breathing, and can practice without making any sound.
Yuan Cheng and Zhao Lin lived in the same room. He said half jokingly and half seriously: "To be honest, I admire you very much. You are so talented and can practice without compromising. No wonder Master values you."
"If I had your energy, maybe I could go further."
Zhao Linxin said that she came from a stable legal society and was born with a strong sense of crisis. People born and raised here would not understand this feeling.
Practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current. Most martial artists' breakthroughs are concentrated before the age of twenty-five when their energy and blood are at their strongest.
Twenty-five years old is a hurdle. If you can break through to the blood realm, then your energy and blood will be reborn, and your peak period can last for another ten or twenty years.
Otherwise, most of the subsequent efforts will be used to maintain cultivation, and it will be almost impossible to break through again.
In the following days, the group of people traveled during the day and rested at night. The goods were always monitored by someone and they were not allowed to relax at all.
Perhaps influenced by novels and TV shows in his previous life, Zhao Lin always felt that he might encounter danger on the way to escort, but unexpectedly nothing happened.
Thinking about it carefully, with so many people guarding the escort, the little thief would definitely not be able to chew it, and the big thief would be afraid of breaking his teeth, so it would be safer to receive a gift.
The convoy only encountered a little twist when passing a place called Hong Yuan Mountain: a group of escort cars also came from the other side of the road.
Everyone was nervous for a while, but the person opposite seemed even more nervous. Both sides gave way for a long time, and no one dared to pass first.
In the end, Pan Xianshou, the head escort, directed the convoy down the road, formed a circle, and let the other party pass first, finally settling the matter.
By noon on the seventh day, the convoy arrived safely at Changliu City in Taizhou.
"How about Changliu Castle?"
Yuan Cheng asked in a boastful tone.
Changliu City is the capital of Taizhou, and its prosperity is naturally not comparable to that of Qinghe County. He thought it was the first time Zhao Lin had seen it.
"It's quite prosperous." Zhao Linyan said sincerely.
After the convoy entered the city, it went straight to the recipient of the goods—Liu Mansion—without stopping.
The master of the palace learned that the goods had been delivered and went out to welcome them in person.
"Your Excellency, the escort has been delivered safely. Please inspect the escort."
Pan Xianshou respectfully presented the escort list.
"The check is correct, thank you for your hard work."
After the Master Liu took inventory, he asked his men to transport the goods into the palace and rewarded them with a gift.
