Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 134: Chapter 113: The Strong Man Holds Up the Way!

This escort mission was entirely different from those Su Mo had taken on before.

With more people and more goods to be escorted, the convoy naturally could not move as nimbly as before.

Su Mo alone, or with Yang Xiaoyun, could travel anywhere conveniently.

If in a hurry, they could push on a bit further; if not, they could afford to slow down, taking their time to enjoy the scenery along the journey.

But as the leader, Su Mo had to carefully plan the route and strategy.

Departing from Luoxia City, which path to take, which places they would pass through, how long they could travel each day, where to rest, where to eat, and having at least two contingency plans in case of unexpected events.

Only by doing so could they ensure that the convoy arrived at its destination within the scheduled time.

Escort agencies like Heavenly Gate Escort Agency or Iron Blood Escort Agency usually had familiar inns to rest at on the way.

This naturally greatly increased the safety.

Ziyang Escort Agency also had such familiar inns in the past, or inns that had been arranged in advance.

But with the decline of Ziyang Escort Agency, these things now needed to be reorganized and developed by Su Mo.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun had discussed these matters for most of the night before acquiring a preliminary plan.

The next morning, Su Mo bid farewell to Uncle Fu and took the escort masters of the agency to assemble at the warehouse of Wanxin Trading Company.

They were also in the midst of loading the carts.

Indeed, there were copious amounts of silks and fabrics, which took up fifteen horse-drawn carts.

Xiao Chuan and others supervised the whole loading process to prevent any unexpected items from being smuggled in.

After all the goods were loaded, Su Mo had seals affixed to the carts.

The goods were now completely sealed and would not be opened until reaching the Five Directions Gathering.

Yang Xiaoyun leaped and positioned an object on one of the leading horse-drawn carts, flung it with a flick, and a large flag unfurled with the wind!

The flag bore the words “Ziyang” written flamboyantly.

And behind this large flag was a colossal character “Su”!

Ziyang Escort Agency, Su Mo!

At this juncture, the agency’s banner was officially on display.

The remaining disciples of the escort agency also attached such flags to every cart, to announce their identity along the way.

Su Mo was now well-known; the reputation of Ziyang Escort Agency had risen accordingly. Some bandits and outlaws on the Green Forest Road, having heard of Su Mo’s name, might retread just by seeing the Escort Flag, knowing not to provoke trouble.

Those who dared to block the way were either highly skilled and daring, or foolish, or seeking friendship.

In any case, it helped to weed out some of the troublemakers.

Of course, there were still others who, seeing the Escort Flag, still intended to attack, but did not wish to do so openly and would hide and ambush instead.

In such situations, all depended on Su Mo’s skill, as well as the prowess of the Guard Army.

The Guard Army had a leader, a middle-aged man in his forties, who wielded a peculiar weapon – a pair of Purple Gold Concave Maces!

These weapons, without any sharp edges, were heavy and cumbersome compared to other arms.

Once swung, it would spell certain death or serious injury if struck by it.

This man’s surname was Liu, Liu Mo!

A man true to his name, taciturn by nature. When the Store Manager introduced him to Su Mo, he simply bowed his fists, and when Su Mo told him the route, he nodded in agreement.

No arguments, no objections, he completely deferred to whatever Su Mo said.

Su Mo, for his part, did not dislike this; he preferred it as long as no one contradicted him.

But should anyone have a hidden agenda, Su Mo would not hesitate to show his capabilities.

He didn’t require adherence to every minute detail, but on significant matters, obedience to his arrangements was a must…

…

…

Words are longer when there is something to discuss, shorter when there’s less; after all preparations were in place, the Ziyang Flag moved with the wind, and Xiao Chuan atop a horse-drawn cart shouted out:

“Ziyang escorts set forth, and Jianghu will be peaceful upon their return in half a year!”

With Inner Strength amplifying his voice, it thundered through the air.

With that, the escort carts slowly began to move, as Su Mo led the way on foot.

It was the rule of the trade for an escort master – shout out before departing to inform everyone that the Ziyang Escort carts had left.

But within the city limits, mounting a horse was not permitted.

Leading the horse at the front, the men on the horse-drawn carts followed at a gentle pace.

It was not yet time to alarm the neighborhood, so they passed through the main roads and alleys, and after some time, they finally left Luoxia City.

At that moment, Su Mo, Yang Xiaoyun, and the others from the escort agency quickly mounted their horses.

Liu Mo followed behind the two, and as they spurred their horses on, they finally picked up speed.

Of course, with carts in the convoy, they couldn’t go too fast.

Nor could everyone ride horses.

Su Mo led the way at first, but gradually moved back alongside the carts.

Some of the agency’s men were assigned to the carts, some walked alongside them on the ground.

They were loosely surrounded by the Guards, forming a protective circle around the carts.

In the forefront, a squad scouted the path, while others took the rear to guard against any attacks from behind.

Although they had just left Luoxia City and trouble was unlikely to strike immediately, the formation had to be maintained.

With the flags swaying, this officially marked the beginning of Su Mo’s first mission leading the squad.

The autumn breeze was cool, and the weather clear, making daytime travel during an escort mission more comfortable than at night.
