Chapter 1426 Pride and Prejudice and the Escort Agency
After setting up the escort order, the wealthy Luo Qingyan directly took out a silver note worth one thousand taels.
Before handing her over to Shi Li, Luo Qingyan looked her up and down again. It was obvious that she was trying her best to restrain herself, but a sense of distrust and criticism still leaked out from her eyes.
"You... can really protect me?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Luo, the most expensive is the best." Shi Li smiled wryly and snatched the banknote from his hand and stuffed it into her own pocket.
The two parties then made an agreement to set off at noon the next day, and Xun Xi took Luo Qingyan away.
When receiving the escort, Shi Li was also very busy. He had to arrange everything from the men to the routes. Since he had taken the expensive money for the escort, he naturally had to make sure that the escort would not be lost.
Otherwise, she would lose not only the 12,000 taels of silver that could help her achieve financial freedom, but also the reputation of Wenchang Escort Agency and herself, and she would never be able to continue working in this line of business.
Considering the long journey and the high price paid by the employer, Shi Li did not spare any effort in manpower and selected the twenty most skilled escort masters from the escort agency, plus seven or eight servants, to form a most elite escort team.
On the other side, Luo Qingyan returned to his residence, closed the door, and said with a frown: "I never thought that a yellow-haired girl could become the number one escort leader."
"Sir, please be careful with your words. That escort leader had a clear and firm gaze, and her skills were obviously very agile, otherwise the huge Wenchang Escort Agency would not be proud of her." Xun Xi's voice was gentle and polite.
Luo Qingyan had always respected him, so he stopped complaining after hearing this. He glanced at the closed door and asked in a low voice, "Is everything arranged over there?"
"Don't worry, sir. We will set off from there after you leave tomorrow."
Xun Xi nodded, "I have told you many times that you must be careful. It is better to be slow for a few days than to let anyone find out."
"That's good. The news that we hired the Wenchang Escort Agency for a large sum of money must have spread by now. Now those people's attention should be focused on me."
Luo Qingyan slowly sat down on the chair, his handsome and arrogant face showing a bit of coldness under the twilight.
Xun Xi stood by, frowning slowly, and warned earnestly: "So you must be careful on this trip, and don't act on impulse."
"I know the importance of this and won't act rashly." Luo Qingyan agreed and looked at the setting sun outside the window.
His father was not sick at all, but poisoned, and the poison was not recent, but he had been hiding it from outsiders. He could not hide it from someone with ulterior motives, especially the person who poisoned him.
This time when he returned to Baiyuan Villa, there must be many dangers on the way. However, the more dangers there were, the more at ease he felt, proving that those people's attention was indeed attracted by him.
In that way, Xun Xi could quietly bring the hard-earned antidote back to Baiyuan Villa under the protection of the secret guards.
He hired a bodyguard with great fanfare just to become a sitting duck in the eyes of someone with ulterior motives.
At noon the next day, Shi Li led the people from the Wenchang Escort Agency and came to Luo Qingyan's residence with escort flags to pick him up.
When going out on a escort mission, Shi Li, like the original owner, changed into more convenient men's clothing, tied his long black hair behind his head, and looked neat and handsome while riding on a horse.
The sunlight shone obliquely on her, and the pair of Emei spears she carried with her glowed coldly.
The original owner has been carrying this pair of Emei Spears since he started escorting at the age of thirteen, and has been doing so until today.
Luo Qingyan walked out of the door, and Xun Xi followed behind to see him off.
Just as he was about to mount his horse, Xun Xi walked up to him and solemnly handed a palm-sized box to him.
"Young master, remember to be careful." Xun Xi raised his head and instructed very seriously.
Luo Qingyan lived up to the reputation of a dandy as spread by the outside world. He casually put the box that Xun Xi had been waiting for so solemnly into the saddle bag that came with the saddle.
Seeing this, Xun Xi couldn't help but frown. He wanted to say more, but Luo Qingyan began to yell impatiently to set off quickly.
Shi Li, who saw the whole process from the side, said:
Good guy!
This guy looks even more despicable than yesterday!
