Chapter 327: Escorts Across the World (Two in One)
“You, what do you want to do?” Sai Diaochan’s face turned pale. She originally wanted to trick Shen Qingzhou and make him pity her, but she felt like she had gone too far.

She just had a problem. She was afraid that the other party would not come to Yihong Restaurant. The other party was really a wealthy man. Not only did he spend a lot of money, but the escorts and porters of the Tianxia Escort Agency also followed him to some extent.

In addition to her desire to settle down and start a family, she was already old and had no strong support. At this moment, Shen Qingzhou really met all her needs.

Otherwise, she would not be alone with a man. She took out the silver ingot to get closer to Shen Qingzhou. The meaning was very clear. I knew it was you, but who knew that things would turn out like this.

She was even more certain. When she took the account book of Tongfu Inn, she saw Shen Qingzhou’s signature. He didn’t owe any money. Sometimes he asked Tongfu Inn to arrange meals for his brothers. He signed the bill in advance and then went to the escort agency to settle the bill. The main thing was that she didn’t know how much it cost.

When he left the money for Sai Diaochan, he didn’t think of hiding his handwriting. It was mainly because he personally felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He lived in your house and gave you money, but you haven’t decorated it yet.

“Manager Sai, aren’t you hinting at me to be the thief who steals the beauty and jade?” Shen Qingzhou touched Sai Diaochan’s face, and then slowly moved down.

Then, Shen Qingzhou knew that the other party was not trying to resist, because he seemed to be so frightened that he couldn’t speak.

“You, me.” Sai Diaochan was really scared. This was not right. How could it become like this? I just won you over, and I ended up selling myself.

Shen Qingzhou is not the kind of person who likes to force others, but this time, Sai Diaochan’s suggestion was too strong. If they just went to the guest room to eat normally, even if it was just the two of them, he wouldn’t think too much about it.

But this place is where you live, and you keep pouring me wine. You drink water and give me wine, thinking I can’t notice. This is clearly a hint.

She also said that she was a woman who was not satisfied with her life, so she just wanted to find someone to rely on. Sai Diaochan had to admit that she did have this intention, but she just wanted to make Shen Qingzhou think about it.

It was also because Shen Qingzhou had given her a huge illusion before. This man was really easy to talk to, otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this.

Shen Qingzhou’s idea was very simple. Wine was a medium that he could control, but why should he control it? You have feelings for me and I have feelings for you. Moreover, in this “Wulin Wai Zhuan”, he really had no interest in the shopkeeper and Guo Furong. There were no more than three people, and Sai Diaochan happened to be among them.

He could also see that Sai Diaochan had something to say, but since she had made up her mind, he might as well have a qualifying match first. He had been in this world for so many years and had been awake for so many years too, it was time.

And then, this is what happened. Originally, I thought that the owner of a restaurant who was good at welcoming and seeing off guests could support a restaurant by himself. Although such things were common in this era, it was normal not to have them, after all, they were doing business.

However, Sai Diaochan’s reaction made him realize that he had misunderstood something. He was sure that the other party was definitely showing goodwill to him, which was obviously different from that of others. But it seemed that he was progressing too fast.

After a long time, Sai Diaochan fell asleep. Shen Qingzhou thought about it and decided not to run away. It had already happened anyway. Then he hugged Sai Diaochan and rested together. It was no wonder that Shen Qingzhou misunderstood. Why would you invite guests so late at night?

……

Shen Qingzhou opened his eyes and saw what happened. It’s not that he was not alert. If there was no crisis, he would not overreact. He had already noticed that Sai Diaochan had gotten up, but he wanted to sleep in and was also afraid of embarrassment if others pretended that nothing had happened.

Sai Diaochan was holding a pair of scissors in her hand, and it seemed that she wanted to stab herself with it, but she hesitated. She should have kicked herself just now, but it was useless. If she really wanted to use force, not to mention the 120 years of innate qi protecting her body, the Thirteen Taibao’s Golden Bell Cover and Vajra Gong were also no pushovers.

“Get up, you want to kill me.” Shen Qingzhou sat up. Sai Diaochan subconsciously wanted to turn her head away. What’s shameless? What’s wrong with having a good figure? She doesn’t want it. But she immediately looked at Shen Qingzhou stubbornly.

“You.” Shen Qingzhou was about to say something, but Sai Diaochan said nothing and cut off the piece of red-stained bed sheet and folded it.

“I know you are a big shot. They all say that you are involved in both black and white affairs and have connections with the Hengshan Sword Sect and the imperial court. I’m just a restaurant owner and I can’t do anything to you.” Sai Diaochan knew very well that this would not be helpful just by reporting to the authorities.

“I misunderstood. You invited me to a dinner in the evening, told me about your hardships, and even took out the receipt I left behind. I thought you also had feelings for me.” Shen Qingzhou still said.

“I invited you to the banquet just to explain to you that the twenty-year-old Fenjiu you love to drink is temporarily unavailable due to some reasons. However, we only have a little left in our restaurant, and I’m afraid you won’t come because we don’t have enough wine. Our restaurant is new, and we really need customers like you.

Therefore, I specially invited you to tell this story. You drank the last Fenjiu yesterday. You have always been very popular, and I respect you very much. ” Sai Diaochan said that she would not say more.

“What happened? The wine is not being produced anymore?” Shen Qingzhou asked. He had to find a topic to talk about. It would be inappropriate to just run away.

“My wine is shipped from Shanxi, but during this period, bandits from Shaohukou have come down from the mountains and are rampant. They even dare to rob on the official road, so there are fewer caravans coming and going.

I was originally a small business, and I always asked others to bring goods, but now, prices have soared, and there is a risk of loss, so I plan to settle down before purchasing. “Shen Qingzhou didn’t ask why he didn’t hire someone for protection, because hiring someone would cost money.

This Sai Diao Chan dared to buy only one jar of wine. It is very likely that they are one of those merchants who buy goods together, and they don’t have their own independent transportation fleet. This is too normal. As I said, it’s just a restaurant in a town.

“I understand. After you deliver the wine, I will continue. This time, I will bring in a little more.”

“Yeah.” Sai Diaochan looked at Shen Qingzhou. Shen Qingzhou felt that there would be problems if he continued like this.

“Okay, I still have darts, that’s it.” He put on the clothes and left directly, and Sai Diaochan didn’t have time to react at all.

Sai Diaochan felt something was wrong. No, are you going to leave like this? Okay, at least leave something behind. There were inexplicably ten more silver ingots on the table. They were very new. She had gotten used to it. All the silver ingots used by Shen Qingzhou had this feature.

But why did you give me money? Do you think my innocence can be measured by this? Or do you not want to take responsibility? Do you think I am not worthy of you? Or do you think I am a casual woman?

She didn’t realize that Shen Qingzhou had been watching her. There was nothing she could do. She was really afraid that she would commit suicide. It was not uncommon for women of this age to do such things.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to take responsibility, it’s that he simply has never thought about settling down. This world is too complicated. Even if he has innate qi, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and horizontal training, he considers himself a master, but he knows that being invincible has nothing to do with him now.

When he heard about the legendary things like the Water and Fire Dragon Balls, he thought of a TV series called “The Drunken Master”. When he knew that there was the Sword Saint Gai Nie in the Qin Dynasty, he thought of “The Legend of Qin”. There were also all kinds of messy characters.

This world is too complicated and there are too many masters. If I were to get married and the other party is a woman who has no martial arts skills, wouldn’t that be a weakness for myself? The other party is not a person of the martial arts world.

A day later, when he saw Sai Diaochan rest for half a day and work normally for the remaining half of the day, he knew that there should be no problem.

However, some things still need to be done. The other party is afraid of losing this important customer, and her wine cannot pass the tiger’s mouth. So I will just escort her there. I can’t just sleep with her for nothing.

He knew something about the things in Shaohukou. If even Diaochan knew it, it was no secret. There was a mountain range in Shaohukou, a place called Crouching Tiger Mountain. There was a mountain king named Yan Baihu, who was quite powerful in the area.

However, before, he only intercepted the people from the East Palace. For some reason, they suddenly went down the mountain in large numbers during this period and also intercepted some merchants on the route from Youyu Shahukou.

This action caused many caravans to reduce their trips, and correspondingly, some goods between the two places became much more expensive.

There is no need to worry that no one will run away. As long as they can make money, many people will take risks. Those big merchants have their own caravans and need a lot of things. At most, they can hire an escort agency for protection. Even worse, they can directly ask disciples of the Hengshan Sword School to escort them.

It’s just that the price is a bit exaggerated. It’s normal not to make any money or even to lose a little in a trip. The problem is that Sai Diaochan is not even qualified to think about losing money, and it is difficult for retail investors at all times.

The merchants can either wait until the things they need have accumulated to a large number, with hundreds of vehicles, and then the bandits will not dare to cause trouble easily.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of staff in the escort agencies all over the world. The business of Datong Money House and Lujia Bank is enough to keep everyone busy in Hengyang alone. Therefore, they seldom accept long-distance escorts.

However, now that Shen Qingzhou is willing, he can take this kind of escort. His long journey will not be in vain. After all, every escort trip will bring gains, mainly the Jade Book of Martial Arts.

For example, when escorting Xiaomi, Xiaomi didn’t have much money, but he obtained Zhao Wuji’s innate energy, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and the Great Rejuvenation Pill, which were all pure gains.

Two days later, Yihong Restaurant.

“Miss, look, Shen Yujing came to our place and didn’t go to Tongfu Inn.” Xiao Cui hurriedly found Sai Diaochan who was looking at the account book. The lady said that Shen Yujing would tell her when he went to Tongfu Inn. She knew why. That man spent too much money.

“Come on, go to the kitchen and ask the chef to prepare some side dishes…” Sai Diaochan suddenly became more active. She saw the person she had been thinking about for the past two days, who was greeting people. Shen Qingzhou was a famous person in the town and he knew people wherever he went.

“Manager Sai.” Shen Qingzhou bowed.

“Brother Shen, why are you here?” Sai Diaochan adjusted her mood and didn’t reveal any clues.

Shen Qingzhou felt emotional in his heart, it was worthy of this era where the martial arts world and the imperial court were mixed, women were not like in reality, if this were reality, they would disappear after he slept with them, and when they met again, their nose would definitely not be a nose, they would be yin and yang.

“Manager Sai, I’m going to escort a convoy to Xishan in the near future. Is there anything I need to bring back?” Shen Qingzhou said.

Sai Diaochan’s expression suddenly became complicated.

……

“Hewu.” When crossing the bridge, a porter shouted loudly with full energy. More than 20 escort vehicles looked brand new and covered with cloth and tied at the mouth. The Tianxia Escort Agency was constantly developing, so everything must be new. The escort vehicles and horses were all owned by the agency.

There were more than twenty grooms, but including the escorts and porters, there were only six or seven people in total.

This escort team is quite large. Logically, there should be more escorts. There is strength in numbers, and we will have the confidence to negotiate with the bandits.

Escorts don’t just shout and kill when they meet. The escort agency just pays a little money and gives face. Bandits also want sustainable development, so it’s normal for them to collude with each other.

But since you are in this line of work, you definitely want to have it all, and that’s where martial arts comes in handy, as there is strength in numbers.

However, no one was nervous because of one reason: every car had an escort flag, the flag of the Tianxia Escort Agency.

There was also a separate escort flag with only one word on it, Shen, which made everyone feel at ease.

“This mountain is mine…” Suddenly, more than twenty people rushed out, and the first one started shouting slogans.

“I wonder who is the boss.” An escort began to speak.

“No problem.” A bearded man carrying a goose-feather knife appeared and looked at the escort agency with excitement. This was a fat sheep. Although the number of people was about the same, the people on the other side were all coachmen. How could they compare with his group of brothers? Could he take one-third of them?

“This time, it is our Tianxia Escort Agency’s Chief Escort Shen who is escorting us. Please give us some respect.”

“The chief escort, it’s Shen Yujing, Chief Escort Shen.” The bearded man was stunned and looked at the place where the escort pointed.

“Exactly.”

“Since Chief Escort Shen is here in person, we will naturally retreat three feet away and leave.” They came and went quickly. I don’t know what the tea money is.

“This evil star actually personally guarded the convoy.” After leaving, the head of the family was sweating profusely. He had seen Shen Qingzhou’s portrait, and he knew that being a bandit also required one to be well-informed.

The opponent was able to kill Shangguan Yundun, so a little Karami like him who has some martial arts skills naturally has to know his limits.

It seems that the escort agencies in the world have to be more careful in the future. They have to start opening up this road.

Everyone looked at Shen Qingzhou, who was lying on the roof of the escort vehicle doing nothing, and felt envious. This was the deterrent power of a master.

Shen Qingzhou made this trip to open up a passage to Xishan. The prerequisite for building relationships is to show strength first.

It was another few days of traveling, and they could walk about 80 kilometers every day. It was definitely impossible to encounter bandits every day, as the government would have cleared them out long ago. However, apart from the previous time, they had only encountered them once. They knew their names, but they insisted on dividing the goods equally. Shen Qingzhou had no choice but to take action. With his long fist, he directly killed several leaders with the highest martial arts skills. They were not worthy of watching the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Then, we arrived at Wohu Mountain.
