Yan Liqiang trained hard at Deer Villa during the day and was ht, he didn’t forget to spend a day in the Heavenly Realency of the Divine Sword Sect in transporting the goods

Co to the I with the Four Seas Escort Agency’s partyon a trip with his buddies instead

The party spent more than athe way It was very interesting to see the thieves choose to make their e rocks in the middle of the road to block the escort party’s path

In this kind of situation, the escort party would usually stop and the escort leader as responsible for delivering the goods would remind everyone to proceed cautiously At the same time, he would also let soency out aloud and fly the ensign The obstructing rocks or tree trunks would then be moved out of the way before they resue of those bandits and heroic outlaould wane as soon as they heard the work chants of the Four Seas Escort Agency After all, no one would dare to stir up trouble with the agency because most people knew that the Divine Sword Sect, one of the foura finger on the Four Seas Escort Agency in the past ended up being relentlessly pursued by experts deployed by the Divine Sword Sect By now, those people were already long dead Therefore, no heroic outlaould really dare to ainst the escort party unless they were tired of being alive

Perhaps a minority of those powerful stealthy bandits or ruffians were not intiency and the Divine Sword Sect These people would dare to rob even bureaucracy funds and valuable tributes for the Eoods transported by the Four Seas Escort Agency on this trip were nothing special They were all necessities for the military Firstly, they were not rare items, and secondly, they were useless to those experts So naturally, they wouldn’t come to find any troubles with the party

In rare cases, the outlaho set up the obstacles would even rush down the hills or forests on either side of the road They’d show their faces to the escort leader and speak to hie known to only those who adventured the world The escort leader wouldn’t make a ift thee instead and iven by the Four Seas Escort Agency, these outlaould willingly walk away complacently and let the escort party be on their hile drinking the wine brewed by the Divine Sword Sect

The entire journey , but they didn’t actually run into any real danger

The only thing that was more troublesome than those forest outlaws or bandits were those checkpoints set up along the roads in every county and prefecture in the Great Han Empire to collect taxes and duties There were simply too many of them Some counties had only one checkpoint while others had multiple checkpoints Not only that, some of the checkpoints were privately set up by local clans or influential clans, so they were very difficult to deal with

The ones who set up the checkpoints were the local tyrants However, so officers would still be stationed at most checkpoints These officers were nobodies ere below average in terms of their s were representatives that held bureaucratic responsibilities, and they could care less about the Four Seas Escort Agency After all, their targets were the escort agencies and caravans in the first place At a time like this, the escort leader could not do much other than show the official letter frooods transported by the fleet of carriages were all armaments ordered by the Storm Army and therefore hoped that the authorities could allow the party to pass by and waive any taxes and duties that oods transported by the carriages were indeed armaments, the local officers at some of the checkpoints ere either concerned about the fate of their nation or knew the fighting prowess of the Storo without a second look upon seeing the official letter However, the officers at so the official letter and knowing that the transported goods were armaments for the Storm Army They wouldn’t let the party pass unless they were paid with soency had barely any choice but to quietly shell out so the payment, only then did the bureaucratic officers allow theency had to overcooods were real eye-openers for Yan Liqiang It included those heavily guarded passes and the people they encountered like the heroic outlaws, low-ranking officers, and traveling merchants Not only had he seen all sorts of people out there, he also learned a lot of things and he finally understood the difficulty of doing business and what life was like for people of the lower social class in this era

The escort party traveled across prefectures and counties After more than a month of travel, they were finally halfway to their destination In the evening on the seventh day of the ninth lunar n, the party finally arrived outside Jinling City in the Southern Capital Region, one of the Iions’
