The next day, before the hour of Mao, Yan Liqiang, Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng got up. After some preparation, they left Tianqiao Peak with their bags on their backs. Before a quarter before the hour of Mao, they arrived outside the mountain gate of the Sword God Sect.
When the three men arrived outside the Sword God Sect's mountain gate, the eastern sky was just beginning to glow dimly; the sun had not yet risen. However, the road outside the square outside the mountain gate was already bustling with people. More than 300 horse-drawn carriages, almost the same number of rhinoceros horses, and almost twice the number of people had gathered on the roadside, with people shouting and horses neighing, making a loud noise.
"Damn, so many carriages and horses, how much stuff are they carrying?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Gu Zexuan widened his eyes.
"Twenty thousand pear flower steel swords and weapons, plus some baggage for the road, and a convoy of more than 300 horse-drawn carriages, it's not a lot..." Yan Liqiang glanced at the carriages and horses and said calmly.
"Ah, Boss, you already know what's in the car. I'm also on Tianqiao Peak, how come I haven't heard anything about it?"
"This news is considered a secret within the sect. Most people don't know about it. They are afraid that the news will get out and cause trouble on the road. I also found out a little bit by accident. Let's go and report it, so that people won't say that we don't know the rules..."
"Well, boss, I'll listen to you!"
Sometimes Zhao Huipeng couldn't even say ten sentences a day, so when the three of them were together, it was Yan Liqiang and Gu Zexuan who were talking most of the time, and Zhao Huipeng was listening on the side. People who didn't know might think that Zhao Huipeng was mute, but in fact, only Yan Liqiang and Gu Zexuan knew that Zhao Huipeng just didn't like to say anything in front of many people. It was his personal character and it couldn't be forced.
By asking someone in the caravan, Yan Liqiang and his two companions found the leader of the caravan, a chief escort named Feng from the Sihai Escort Agency.
The Sihai Escort Agency is an institution under the Sihai Court of the Sword God Sect. Several heads of the agency are disciples of the Sword God Sect and have status in the Sword God Sect. The Sihai Escort Agency specializes in escorting and protecting people's convoys. This batch of things was handed over to the Sihai Court for transportation within the Sword God Sect, and the final execution was still done by those people from the Sihai Escort Agency under the Sihai Court.
The escort leader named Feng was of strong build, with a full beard, sparkling eyes, and big ears. He looked like a "social man" with great martial arts skills and rich experience, definitely a big brother-like figure.
"You three are the people sent by Tianqiao Peak to follow us to the north?" When the escort leader Feng saw Yan Liqiang and the other two, his brows suddenly frowned, and he seemed unhappy.
When Yan Liqiang saw the expression on the face of the escort leader, he was reminded of the way the HR of his previous company looked at those applicants with fake academic qualifications and diplomas during recruitment.
"yes!"
"Where's the badge? Show it to me!"
Yan Liqiang and the other two handed over their badges. The escort leader surnamed Feng checked the badges of the three people, threw them to the three people, and asked directly, "Did you offend anyone on Tianqiao Peak?"
"Well... We don't know who we have offended. It was Manager Qiu who arranged for us to come here!" Yan Liqiang said calmly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this nonsense!" Escort Leader Feng waved his hand impatiently and said in a rough voice, "I'm only telling you my rules. The three of you are following us on the escort mission. You have to listen to me all the way. You have to go when I tell you to go and stop when I tell you to stop. You have to do whatever I tell you to do. If anyone dares to disobey me and play tricks, I can make him regret being born. I am the escort leader of the Sihai Escort Agency, but I am also a general manager in the Sihai Courtyard. It is easy for me to deal with you three young boys. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
“Chen Hu…” Leader Feng then turned around and looked at a person not far away and shouted.
A man in his thirties heard the shout and immediately ran over, "Boss, you called me!"
"These three people came from Tianqiao Peak and followed you. You should teach them the rules..."
"Yes!" The man named Chen Hu glanced at Yan Liqiang and the other two, "Come with me..."
Yan Liqiang and the other two followed Chen Hu, and Chen Hu immediately assigned them tasks. The three followed the three horse-drawn carts carrying goods. While taking care of the goods on the carts, they were also responsible for taking care of the rhinoceros horses pulling the carts. The three followed the team and were not allowed to move alone at any time. They also had to get his permission to eat, drink, and defecate, and they had to come on time. If they dared to disobey... Chen Hu pulled the whip in his hand and it made a snapping sound...
Three quarters of an hour after Yan Liqiang and his two companions arrived here, the first ray of sunlight at dawn finally shone on the earth. The huge convoy outside the Sword God Sect's mountain gate finally began to move slowly like a long snake at the shout of "Move forward..." by the escort leader. Except for Yan Liqiang and his two companions, everyone else in the team, who were riding horses or driving carts, began to shout the escort number like singing.
"Si Hai Escort Agency travels all over the world, and it all depends on what you say. When you open your mouth and persuade him to leave, don't get angry and hurt him. If he doesn't listen to the etiquette and doesn't want to go anywhere else, we will fight with knives and guns when we meet. Your business can't be done, and my job can't be done. If you can't get what you want when we meet, won't that hurt the loyalty? You listen to my call, and you can get the upper hand elsewhere. If you have friends where you stand, don't be embarrassed here. If you can't see them in the sky, you can see them in the blue sky. You can meet friends in the kiln. If you can't see them in front of the mountain, you can see them behind the mountain. Avoid fighting on the edge of the clouds. Friends should be loyal to each other, and always be kind to make money. If friends do things for friends, they will be unkind and unjust. You must remember this sentence, and you will be heroes everywhere."
The triangular flags of the Sihai Escort Agency were planted on the carriages. Sitting in the carriage, Yan Liqiang listened to the majestic escort calls of hundreds of old men and felt the strong flavor of the underworld. For a moment, he found this errand not as boring as he had imagined. In his previous life, he often received packages from JD.com and SF Express and did not find it strange. But in another world, he would understand that getting involved in the logistics industry is not something that ordinary people can do.
It would be much more convenient if we had trains and cars. In fact, it is not difficult to make trains and cars. The key is the steam engine. In fact, the principle of the steam engine is not complicated. It’s just that people in this world are used to using animal and human power, so no one has thought of it...
I just wonder if the invention of the steam engine was a divine inspiration
An idea popped up in Yan Liqiang's mind. He shook his head and laughed. Why think about these useless things...
