Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 373 - 192: Troubled Waters_2

"This is most appropriate."

"Why don’t you also write a letter directly, and I will have some escort masters take it back tomorrow morning?"

"That sounds good."

With that, the night came to an end without further conversation. Su Mo and Wei Ziyi each wrote a letter and then retired to rest.

In the blink of an eye, dawn broke on the following day.

Everyone packed up and pulled out two flatbed carts from the inn’s backyard to load and secure all of Manager He’s family belongings.

Su Mo casually pulled a large flag from the escort carts and planted it on theirs.

He also nominated a few members from the escort agency with excellent martial skills to accompany them for protection.

After expressing their immense gratitude to Su Mo once more, Manager He’s family immediately set off for Luoxia City.

Su Mo watched them depart before turning to look at the white wall of the He Family Inn.

Three people were hanging there.

Their eyes were lifeless, faces twisted with ferocity, though they were already devoid of breath.

One had lost both arms, another one arm, and another a leg.

The one who had lost a leg was the first to die.

For the remaining two, once Su Mo confirmed they were of no use, he instructed their wounds to be cleansed of the medicine.

Little Situ’s medicine was too effective; once wiped off, the wounds immediately began to bleed again.

After enduring the night, they could no longer survive and passed away.

Su Mo looked at them, squinting his eyes slightly. With a light step, he rapidly moved next to them.

He raised his hand, using his finger as a brush, effortlessly inscribing on the wall as if stabbing into tofu.

Two lines of bold calligraphy were swiftly completed.

"Those who cause havoc, disrupting the peace of Phoenix Alliance’s territory, deserve death!"

"Today, these bodies are hung to deter the upcoming wrong-doers—Ziyang Escort Agency, Su Mo!" freewёbnoνel.com

After the final character, Su Mo casually left a handprint next to it.

With that, he leapt back.

Wei Ziyi stood by, having witnessed everything, and could not help but express her admiration:

"Using fingers instead of a brush, demonstrating formidable strength that commands respect.

"Leaving that handprint adds a warning to those who come next... and incidentally promotes your Ziyang Escort Agency.

"Lord Su, your mastery of Jianghu tactics has indeed become flawless."

Su Mo glanced at her: "Can’t compare to Miss Wei, with your great wisdom."

"..."

Wei Ziyi’s expression darkened: "You, truly... I don’t know why Yang Family Sister is so enamoured with you."

"That is not for outsiders to discuss."

Su Mo smiled and mounted his horse: "Let’s set off!!!"

Wei Ziyi watched his departing figure, gently waving her fists a couple of times, puffing her cheeks, and then lightly rubbing them before briskly getting on her horse to follow Su Mo.

...

...

The incident at the He Family Inn was just a minor interlude for Su Mo and his party.

From thereon, heading east, the journey was smooth.

When they passed the Liu’s Rice Shop mentioned by Zhou Fang the day before, Su Mo and Wei Ziyi showed no signs of anything unusual.

They rode past, completely disregarding the affair.

Afterward, the journey only saw a slight delay in Zhongfu City.

As Wei Ruhan’s granddaughter, Wei Ziyi had to meet Chi Lu, the newly joined member of the Old Wei family.

Chi Lu hosted a lavish banquet showing off the prestige of the Zhongfu City Lord.

However, right after the meal, the ever-smiling Wei Ziyi suddenly changed her expression.

"Decadent and wasteful, such extravagance, such a Chi Lu.

"This man cannot stay in his position for long. For now, let’s hold off, but once the situation stabilizes, we must seize him."

Su Mo nodded in agreement.

They spent a night delayed in Zhongfu City and continued on their journey the next day.

Their convoy was small, just two horse-drawn carriages, and the familiar roads allowed for an unobstructed passage.

A few days later, they arrived back at Three Rivers Bay.

This time, their arrival at Three Rivers Bay was without the previous complications.

They got Captain Li to find a merchant ship - not too big, yet not too small - loaded the goods on it, and set sail down the river towards Jiyang Ferry.

Transporting the escort carts by ship was indeed different from other methods.

With horses and carts properly handled, there was a place for everything.

After securing the cargo, Su Mo instructed his men to keep a strict watch, not to slacken in vigilance.

As they were finishing up, a man approached.

Before even reaching them, he already had his hands clasped in a salute:

"May I ask which one of you is the lead escort here?"

Captain Li glanced at Su Mo, then stepped forward: "Who are you?"

"I am Li Zhongcheng, just a runner for the shopkeeper, nothing important."

This man lightly smiled: "Are you the Chief of Ziyang Escort Agency?"

"By no means."

Captain Li hurriedly responded: "This here is our Lord Su, the Chief."

During the conversation, he gestured respectfully, stepping aside to reveal Su Mo.

Li Zhongcheng was taken aback for a moment, surveying Su Mo briefly before smiling:

"My apologies, my apologies... I didn’t expect Lord Su to be so young. Please excuse my rudeness."

"You overstate the matter."

Su Mo smiled: "But may I inquire as to the purpose of your visit?"

"It’s like this..."

Li Zhongcheng wore a full-faced smile: "Our ship, indeed, has been operating at sea for many years. It was just recently that we diverted to Nanhai Bay in Luoxia City, planning to follow the waterway into Dongcheng.

"Unexpectedly, traveling down the river took us in quite a big detour.

"I heard that along the way from here forward, there are quite a few heroes engaged in business on the river.

"Although our shopkeeper has made some arrangements, he has yet to truly travel this route before."
