Chapter 213 Arrival at Jiashun Pass
There were more people leaving Mingyue Villa than Bai Sui'an had imagined.
Many people in the mansion work with their families.
Most of the people inside had been working for the Xu family since their ancestors. Su Xia had previously thought of having them pack up and settle down somewhere else under an assumed name.
Now that they heard that the whole family and Bai Sui'an were going to open an escort agency outside, those people said they wanted to follow them.
Xu Hongxiu calculated the accounts for the day, and Su Xia helped him check them one by one.
Bai Sui'an woke up and went to find them, and the couple told them the truth.
"The escort agency needs to establish roots in various places, and we need a lot of managers and people. Some of the servants in the village have families outside, so let them settle down at the Qianheng border. It will be convenient for them to do business or visit relatives. The others will come with us to find a place to stay, and we will open the escort agency all the way to the emperor's feet."
I didn’t expect that the two of them planned the scale of the escort agency to be so large.
"Then this initial investment will require a lot, right?"
Bai Sui'an silently calculated in his mind how much silver he would have to pay to allow the escort company to drive all the way to Qianheng Imperial City.
Unexpectedly, Xu Hongxiu waved his hand with extraordinary generosity:
"These are all trivial matters. Our Xu family is very wealthy. We used the money we saved to switch careers and open an escort agency. Add to that the connections we have accumulated in the underworld over the years, and this escort agency will not lose money even if it expands."
Moreover, according to Bai Sui'an's suggestion, this escort agency is not only responsible for escorting, but also for personal protection of employers. People in the underworld have many enemies, and some people can't even protect themselves, so they inevitably want to ask others for help to protect their families.
At that time, finding Xu Hongxiu would be the best choice.
In such a vast world, how many people dared to challenge Xu Hongxiu? Even if there were, they couldn't defeat the Xu family. Mingyue Villa's ability to become the most powerful force in the world was not just a dream.
So Xu Hongxiu had the confidence to open an escort agency.
It took the family two days to pack their bags and set off. They had more than ten horse-drawn carriages and were escorted by more than a hundred people on horseback.
Although the goal is big, the sense of security is also full.
It would be difficult to rob their convoy without some people.
Moreover, they did not go into the city to rest. Most of them camped in an open area outside the city for the night and walked around the city the next day. They would send people to the city to buy anything they needed, so they did not live in poverty along the way.
Bai Sui'an has rich experience in exploration and often rides a horse to explore the way ahead.
Ever since Ah Lang was hit by the sword at Bai Sui'an's hand, he has become stubborn with Bai Sui'an and wants to do everything the same as Bai Sui'an.
It seems that he has to reach the same level as Bai Sui'an to prove that he is strong.
Seeing Bai Sui'an riding his horse very fast, he also insisted on passing Cang Fei's horse. Not long after riding, he was thrown to the ground by the horse.
Although he was experienced in hand-to-hand combat, he did not know how to ride a horse, and he insisted on chasing Bai Sui'an to explore the way together.
Bai Sui'an never waited for him, and after being rejected by the horse countless times, Alang finally learned to ride a horse.
That silly energy made everyone laugh.
Because there were so many people, it took almost half a month for a large group of people to enter Qianheng's realm.
All subsequent matters depend on Xu Hongxiu's decision.
Bai Sui'an only brought five people with her to find Ye Lingchi, namely the Cangmi brothers, the three Alangs, as well as Ahong and Ahuang.
Originally, Ah Lang wasn't with them, but he had learned to ride a horse, and with Bai Sui'an's medicine and his exceptional physique, his injuries had little impact. Having him there meant more fighting power.
The other two girls were still a little afraid of being a drag.
It was their first time traveling far away, and it was to help on the battlefield. This experience was something they had never dared to dream of.
Bai Sui'an didn't give them too many instructions. She hurried on her way and asked them to go to Jiashun Pass in the Barbarian Country with her and pretend to be ordinary people in the martial arts world and stay there for a few days to have fun.
They are not from Qianheng, and they don't speak with the Qianheng accent, which can make the people from the Barbarian Country relax their vigilance.
Good to find more useful information.
When they arrived at the place, the Barbarian army and the army led by Ye Lingchi had already fought once.
It was just a first attempt, and there wasn't much loss.
It’s just that the general here wants to test Qian Heng’s new general.
The Barbarians didn't know that the one leading the opposing army was Ye Lingchi.
After all, to the outside world, the fate of the young general Ye Lingchi, who went to the battlefield at a young age and won his father the title of "God of Killing", has long been unknown.
Qianheng has been at peace for a long time, and only some veteran generals are left. No new generals have emerged on the battlefield. Everyone believes that this new general was pushed forward by Ye Zihu as an emergency measure.
Hence the temptation.
After just one attempt, the general of the Barbarian Country began to frown and feel uneasy. It was hard to describe the strange feeling.
Bai Sui'an led his men into the Jiashun Pass of the Barbarian Country. The three men and three women were all dressed like people from the martial arts world. They went straight to the inn to buy wine and meat.
Bai Sui'an and the two brothers have mastered their temperaments perfectly, and they all look like people who have been in the underworld for a long time.
In their actions, Bai Sui'an and Alang also established the impression of being rough and unruly people in the martial arts world. They felt that a mouthful of meat and a sip of wine were not enough and they also wanted to eat rice.
It didn't look that weird, so not many people were staring at them.
The shopkeeper was a talkative man. Seeing that everyone at the table was eating a lot, he came over to chat.
"Where are you heroes from? We are about to go to war. It's not peaceful."
The shopkeeper smiled, revealing a gold tooth in his mouth, which showed that he had good fortune.
Bai Sui'an gave him a disdainful look and threatened him, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Watch your head."
They could control their hostility at will, and with just one sentence, they let people know that they were not a group to be trifled with.
However, the shopkeeper had seen many people before. He rolled his eyes, looked around at the people at the table, and said flatteringly, "You heroes are extraordinary. I'm afraid you are here to look for someone, or to hide from someone... Let me know so that I can keep an eye out for you."
Cang Mi received Bai Sui'an's gaze and lightly put down the wine bowl in his hand. He frowned and looked at the shopkeeper, then said calmly, "The shopkeeper is very bold. How dare he offend anyone?"
Six people want to book a room here for half a month, and the shopkeeper needs to judge their real purpose of coming here based on their behavior.
Ah Hong and Ah Huang kept eating meat with stern faces. Ah Lang couldn't drink much wine, and with a red face, he hooked his arm around Cang Fei's neck and started to urge him to drink.
The shopkeeper immediately said, "You are all honored guests. How dare I offend you?"
Cang Mi curled his lips, his smile not reaching his eyes, and said frivolously: "If you don't dare to offend, then don't say anything. If someone asks about us, just say you haven't seen us."
The big hand was sweeping across the table. When the hand was raised, a piece of silver appeared in the place where the hand had just covered.
The shopkeeper took the silver and walked away as if nothing had happened. "If you have any requests, please let me know. I'll be waiting downstairs."
