Inheriting a security escort agency, the game begins with escorting the eldest princess.

Chapter 45 The Peaceful Young Master (Please add to your favorites and subscribe)

Li Wuji achieved a great victory in the war in the eastern border. He wrote to the Xia Emperor, specifically mentioning the achievements of the Chu sage. This move had three layers of meaning.

Firstly, he himself must maintain a good relationship with Chu Sheng, as it concerns his life and death and cannot be taken lightly.

Secondly, he knew very well that the Great Xia needed Chu Sheng and that he absolutely could not underestimate Chu Sheng's existence just because Chu Sheng was a bodyguard.

He is incredibly powerful and has unlimited potential. If he could join the Great Xia Dynasty, the royal family's strength would increase significantly.

Thirdly, we want to foster a deep cooperation between the Great Xia and Zhenyuan Escort Agency. In the future, supplies for battles and disaster relief funds can be sourced from Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Ideally, we could develop Zhenyuan Escort Agency into an agency exclusively for the royal family.

He didn't expect that Chu Sheng had no interest in this at all.

Seeing Li Anlan shaking his head at him from not far away, Li Wuji swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"King Kao Shan, there are a few small things I need your help with."

"Young master, you're too kind. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything you need!"

Chu Sheng said, "To establish a security escort agency, we need some horses and banners. Since you are familiar with the city, I'll entrust you with that task."

.

"Tell me your request, my lord, and I will have it done immediately."

Chu Sheng hunched over his desk and quickly drew out the design he had already conceived, then handed it to Li Wuji, saying, "Make all the banners according to this requirement."

Li Wuji left with the pattern.

"Miss Su, matters in the city will be delayed for a few days. You should rest at the escort agency for now."

Su Qingyan said, "Master Chu, you're too kind. I'm not in a hurry."

With three Grandmasters and one Grandmaster in one escort agency, its scale and foundation place it at the top of the four major escort agencies in Dongzhou. Even compared to other powerful figures in the martial arts world, its foundation is in no way inferior.

Li Anlan was shocked. When he first met Chu Sheng, he was just the only bodyguard of Zhenyuan Escort Agency. In less than half a year, he brought Zhenyuan Escort Agency, which had almost disappeared, back to its peak.

At this rate of development, it's only a matter of time before Zhenyuan Escort Agency becomes the number one escort agency in the world.

No wonder Chu Sheng didn't want to stay in the capital; it turns out he had his own career plans.

The Great Qian Dynasty.

Inside Yongtian City.

In a secluded garden, in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, two figures are playing chess. The black and white pieces are locked in a fierce battle on the chessboard, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

Both old men had white hair and a powerful, domineering aura. Every move they made exuded the charm of martial arts. The slightly plump old man seemed to have thought of something. "Seventh Brother went to the Human Academy. Judging by the time, he should be back by now. Why haven't we heard anything from him?"

""

"You sent someone to investigate?"

Xiao Xiong held a black stone between his fingers, looking nonchalant. "Seventh Brother has been in the martial world for many years. Can't you handle this little thing? Third Brother, you're overthinking it."

"He went to seize the treasures from Chu Sheng. It is said that Chu Sheng is only a Grandmaster. With Gu Jingtian around, Old Seven will hardly need to lift a finger. He will definitely be back in two days."

Xiao Wentian felt that Xiao Xiong's words made sense. Gu Jingchen had already been controlled by them, and he hardly needed Xiao Ming to attack Chu Sheng. What danger could there be?

Their minds were once again focused on the chessboard. A gentle breeze rippled the lake, but they remained unaffected.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Xiong strode up to the ancient pavilion, his face filled with anxiety. "Third Brother, something's wrong. We haven't heard from Seventh Brother for three days."

Xiao Wentian nodded, "There are some problems. Let's go to Martial Emperor City together and take a look."

Something unusual must be going on. The two left Yongtian City and rushed towards the Human Academy.

at the same time.

Inside Zhenyue City.

The Zhenyuan Escort Agency has opened for business.

After three days, Nie Kuang and Ling Shuo recruited two hundred bodyguards in the city. Because of Li Wuji's endorsement, the martial arts practitioners in the city were willing to join.

Seeing Chu Sheng and Li Wuji enter the city together, they were certain that they had a close relationship. With the support of the Mountain King, a security escort agency could do whatever it wanted in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Moreover, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency pays quite a good salary.

The basic salary is ten taels per month.

You can get extra rewards for completing a delivery mission, and there's also a year-end bonus.

As long as the money is there, why worry about not having enough people?

Chu Sheng said he would recruit two hundred people first, otherwise there would have been as many as five hundred people who came to sign up.

The bodyguards arrived, dressed in uniform bodyguard uniforms, and the warhorses came from the military camp; everything was ready.

Chu Sheng announced the official establishment of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency's Zhenyue City branch, with Ling Shuo remaining in the city as the chief escort.

Although Ling Shuo's strength wasn't particularly high, his peak ninth-rank strength was sufficient for escorting goods. In addition, with Li Wuji looking after him in the city, it wouldn't be a problem for him to control a branch office.

Chu Sheng granted him considerable power, allowing him to freely recruit bodyguards, provided they fully adhered to the rules of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Ling Shuo was flattered, never expecting Chu Sheng to appoint him as the chief镖头 (chief镖师, head镖师, escort agency). "Young master, rest assured, I have already managed the镖局 (镖局, escort agency) well."

Chu Sheng raised his hand and handed a note to Ling Shuo, "This martial arts manual is for you. Work hard to cultivate it and improve your strength. You are a veteran of Zhenyuan Escort Agency, and you will have a place in the headquarters in the future."

"Hun Yuan Gong?"

Ling Shuo muttered to himself, "Just hearing the name makes me sound impressive."

Chu Sheng exchanged the Hunyuan Gong from the镖局商城 (镖局商城, a type of online shopping mall). He gave this manual to Ling Shuo, and as long as Ling Shuo practiced diligently, it wouldn't be difficult for him to break through to the Grandmaster level.

After making all the arrangements, Chu Sheng left Zhenyue City with Nie Kuang, Gu Jingchen, Ye Yun, Li Anlan, and Su Qingyan. He did not travel with Li Wuji.

Before returning to Chang'an, he needed to visit the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

"Master Chu, we already have a branch in Zhenyue City. Where do you plan to open another branch next?"

Li Anlan and Chu Sheng rode forward on horseback when Li Anlan suddenly asked a question.

"How did Your Highness know I was planning to open a branch office?"

Li Anlan smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your goal is to make Zhenyuan Escort Agency the number one escort agency in the world."

Chu Sheng was taken aback. "Your Highness is like a mind reader; you could even guess that."

Li Anlan: "?"

"Your Highness is right. I did promise my master that I would develop Zhenyuan Escort Agency into the number one escort agency in the world. However, there is still a long way to go. The first branch has been established, and there will be more in the future."

"Master Chu, I think you should open a branch in the capital. That way, with one branch in the east and one in the west, all the business within the imperial court will fall into the hands of Zhenyuan Escort Agency."

"Your Highness, opening a security escort agency in the capital isn't that simple!" Chu Sheng looked at Li Anlan and continued, "In Zhenyue City, I talked with the Prince of Kaoshan. He said that the two security escort agencies in the capital are not simple, and the backers behind them are quite powerful."

"You mean Changfeng Escort Agency and Wuwei Escort Agency?"

"I know that the Changfeng Escort Agency is backed by the Ninth Prince, which is no secret in the capital. But who is behind the Wuwei Escort Agency? That seems a bit mysterious." Li Anlan paused, then continued, "However, to be able to contend with the Changfeng Escort Agency, which is supported by the Ninth Prince, its backing must be extraordinary."

"I've heard that the Wuwei Escort Agency is backed by the Taiping Cult."

"A cult?" Li Anlan's expression changed slightly. "This cult has been absent from the Great Xia for a long time. I never expected it to infiltrate in this way."

Chu Sheng said, "Does Your Highness also want me to open a security escort agency in the capital?"

"Why not? With Master Chu's current strength, can't he establish a security escort agency in the capital?" Li Anlan had great confidence in Chu Sheng. "The two major security escort agencies are backed by the Taiping Sect and the Nine Thousand Years Old. Master Chu alone is enough to contend with them."

"Your Highness, your abacus beads have hit my face," Chu Sheng said with a smile.

In the eyes of the world, Changfeng Escort Agency and Wuwei Escort Agency are just ordinary escort agencies in the martial arts world. In reality, their true role has never been to take on or escort goods.

Changfeng Escort Agency serves as the eyes and ears of Emperor Zhao Jingzhong in the martial arts world. Its escorts are spread throughout the land, with the aim of gathering intelligence for Zhao Jingzhong.

The Wuwei Escort Agency served a similar purpose, and perhaps some other purposes as well.

If Zhenyuan Escort Agency appears in the capital, it will inevitably threaten the two major escort agencies, and there will definitely be friction between them. Li Anlan's warm invitation to Chu Sheng to open an escort agency in the capital, doesn't he want him to compete with the Nine Thousand Years and the Taiping Sect?

Li Anlan smiled and said, "Master Chu, you've misunderstood me."

Chu Sheng said, "It doesn't matter what Your Highness's purpose is. From the beginning, I planned to establish the Zhenyuan Escort Agency after returning to the capital."

""

He didn't care that Changfeng Escort Agency, Wuwei Escort Agency, and Zhenyuan Escort Agency needed to establish four branch offices to become first-class escort agencies; he just wanted to complete the system task.

At the same time, you will gain more dart points.

Only a few days after leaving Zhenyue City, the daily escort points in the escort agency's shop have been increasing.

Escort points can be used to purchase any item in the shop, which is of great importance to Chu Sheng.

He will sweep away all obstacles that hinder the development of Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Upon hearing that Chu Sheng wanted to establish a security escort agency in the capital, Li Anlan couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Master Chu, when we return to the capital, I'll help you with that."

"Then thank you very much, Your Highness."

"I'll help you set up a security escort agency. Could you... use the pills you gave me last time?"

'

Chu Sheng smiled and asked, "Your Highness, aren't we friends?"

Li Anlan was taken aback for a moment. "They're friends."

Chu Sheng said, "Since we're friends, why do you need a reward for a small favor?"

Li Anlan: "?"

She was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to start, and had to admit that Chu Sheng was even more cunning than a monkey.

Inside Emperor Wu's City.

Inside a teahouse.

Xiao Wentian sat by the window, playing with his teacup, somewhat absentmindedly. He had been in the city for a day but had not found any trace of Xiao Ming.

He had a vague sense of foreboding.

A short while later.

Xiao Xiong strode over, sat down in front of the desk, picked up a teacup and drank it all in one gulp. "Third Brother, we're probably going to the Martial King's Mansion or the Human Academy."

"What do you mean?"

"There is no news about Seventh Brother in the city. King Wu and Master Haotian are the strongest in the city. If Seventh Brother has been to Martial Emperor City, they will definitely know."

Just as the two were about to get up, a figure wearing a bamboo hat appeared and blocked their way. "Gentlemen, this is a gift from my young master."

.

The visitor left a letter and hurried away.

They quickly disappeared into the crowd in the city.

Xiao Wentian picked up the letter on the desk, and its contents made his expression change drastically. There was only one sentence: Xiao Ming is dead. The killer is Chu Sheng of Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

"Third Brother, what's wrong?"

Xiao Xiong took the letter, his expression suddenly changing drastically. "Chu Sheng killed Seventh Brother?"

"Quickly, catch up with the man in black!"

As soon as the two left the teahouse, they quickly locked onto the man in black. He left quickly, but somewhat deliberately, as if he was waiting for them to catch up.

After leaving Wudi City, they arrived at the foot of Lonely Peak outside the city. Suddenly, the man in black stopped and turned to look at Xiao Wentian and his companion. "My young master has been waiting for a long time."

Not far away, beneath an ancient pavilion, a figure sat upright beside a stone table, steam rising from a teapot in front of him. Xiao Wentian and his companion stepped forward, their gazes falling on the young man in brocade robes. "May I ask how you are addressed?"

"Young Master Taiping, Jiang Taiping."

"Young Master Jiang, what brings you here?"

Jiang Taiping said in a deep voice, "A-Jiu, bring the person up here!"

A moment later, a wooden coffin appeared outside the ancient pavilion. Jiang Taiping slowly spoke, "The person you are looking for is inside."

Xiao Wentian and Xiao Xiong strode forward and discovered that the person lying flat in the wooden coffin was Xiao Ming. A thin layer of icy aura enveloped him. The two knew very well that if it weren't for this icy aura, Xiao Ming's body would have already rotted before they arrived.

"You're welcome, both of you!"

"Senior Xiao was a remarkable figure in the martial arts world. I didn't want to see his body left to rot in the wilderness after his death, so I helped collect his remains." Jiang Taiping came to the two men's side. "Both of you are grandmasters of martial arts, so you should be able to tell that Senior Xiao died from a swordsmanship."

"It is the Chaotic Heaven Saber Technique of Zhenyuan Escort Agency."

"If you don't believe me, you can go into the city to find Master Haotian and King Wu to verify. They both witnessed Chu Sheng killing Senior Xiao with his own eyes that day."

Xiao Wentian had almost no doubt about what Jiang Taiping said. He was sure that Jiang Taiping hadn't killed the person. Everyone in the martial arts world knew that Young Master Taiping cultivated the Frost True Qi and was a master swordsman.

His Xuanbing Thirteen Swords, in particular, had long been famous throughout the martial arts world, and he was known as having the appearance of a sword immortal.

"Why is Young Master Jiang helping us!"

"The two seniors want to avenge Senior Xiao, and my target is also Chu Sheng, so we can join forces."

Xiao Wentian pondered for a moment, "Chu Sheng is from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, so he shouldn't have any grudges with your Taiping Sect, right?"

"The wordless book is on him; even without any grudges, he will die."

"Is this reason sufficient?"

Xiao Wentian couldn't refute this; the reason was quite valid. "Young Master Taiping should know that our Great Qian Dynasty is also determined to obtain the Nameless Heavenly Book. Why do you think we would cooperate with you?"

"The Taiping Sect and the Great Qian have no enmity. If we kill Chu Sheng, obtain the Nameless Heavenly Book, and share it, is that not allowed?" Jiang Taiping possessed a maturity beyond his years. "Chu Sheng is no weakling; he's a Grandmaster at such a young age. Are you two seniors truly confident in defeating him?"

"As far as I know, Gu Jingchen, the number one thief in Dongzhou, has submitted to Chu Sheng. In the battle at the Forbidden City of the Great Qian Dynasty, Gu Jingchen fought against nine opponents by himself. Although he was defeated, he became famous throughout the martial arts world."

"Now that Chu Sheng and Gu Jingchen are together, what are the chances of victory for the two seniors?"

Xiao Wentian said, "Alright, let's cooperate. Young Master Jiang, could you tell me where Sage Chu is?"

Jiang Taiping said, "The Ten Thousand Swords Sect."

Xiao Wentian nodded, "Let's go to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect together."

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and the two quickly reached a consensus.

"Young Master Jiang only has one sword slave by his side, and he is only a Grandmaster. With such strength, isn't it a bit too much of a show of sincerity for him to cooperate with us?"

Xiao Xiong glanced at Ajiu in black and said in a deep voice.

"Senior Xiao, don't worry. Once we arrive at the Myriad Swords Sect, someone will come to my aid," Jiang Taiping said confidently.
