Chapter 1427 Pride and Prejudice and the Escort Agency
The flag of Wenchang Escort Agency is a red flag with black patterns painted on it, which is eye-catching and unique.
The original owner had led a team to escort the convoy in the past few years and had never failed.
The most dangerous time was when he led a team of 20 people to fight for their lives with a group of nearly 100 bandits. In the end, he saved his employer's commission and became famous from then on.
Therefore, in the area, no matter whether it is mountain bandits or roving bandits, when they see the escort flag of Wenchang Escort Agency, most of them will choose to retreat and will not fight with it.
Although Shi Li had the original owner's memory to support him, he did not dare to be careless at all. When he encountered a mountain road ahead, he would ask everyone to stop and wait for the scouts in the team to come back before continuing to move forward.
The escort team stopped near a small river to rest and wait for the scout to bring back news.
"What's there to be afraid of? There are so many of you. If we really meet bandits, will we be unable to defeat them? Why do you insist on leaving me here to wait?"
The spy hadn't returned yet, but Luo Qingyan lived up to everyone's expectations and started looking for trouble.
Hearing him speak, Shi Li was not surprised and even felt it was natural.
After all, this is a sky-high-priced escort order. If the employer is really easy to talk to, then the money will be too easy to make.
Shi Li thought that Luo Qingyan would feel tired and start complaining after leaving the city, but he turned out not to be as pretentious as she had imagined. He did not even ask for a rest after rushing for most of the day.
Now that he finally had a break, he was still impatient.
"We are tough and have strong bodies, so we are not afraid if we really encounter bandits. But Mr. Luo is a precious person, so it is not too cautious."
Shi Li turned her head to glance at Luo Qingyan, her tone so sincere that for a moment Luo Qingyan couldn't tell whether she was speaking the truth or being sarcastic.
"You're good at talking... Why hasn't that spy come back yet? How long has he been out?" Luo Qingyan didn't hesitate to say a word. He raised his head and looked into the distance, frowning unhappily.
This guy has an extremely handsome appearance, with a tall and slender figure. He looks very heroic when riding a horse. He must have received many fruit and handkerchiefs thrown to him by young girls when he walked on the street.
What a pity... He has such an annoying personality and an even more annoying mouth.
[Why would a good person open his mouth? 】
[He is good-looking, I choose to forgive~]
[I am not someone who follows my appearance... But our Qingyan is not a bad person, he is just a little arrogant. Don't be too harsh on him~]
Shi Li: ...
These comments are enough.
Seeing that Luo Qingyan was just complaining and not making a fuss, Shi Li ignored him and walked to the river, scooped up the cool river water and washed her face.
The weather was hot and she was always tense and alert. When a handful of cold water was splashed on her face, she immediately felt elevated.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you really don't act like a little girl at all, you're so vulgar!"
Unexpectedly, Luo Qingyan also followed her over, saw her actions, and commented on it.
Shi Li closed her eyes and could only roll her eyes in her heart, secretly telling herself not to treat him as a human being, but just as a walking cash cow.
Thinking of this, her mood was immediately unaffected. She opened her eyes and shook off the water drops on her face, nodding her head sincerely in agreement, "Mr. Luo is right. I just don't look like a little girl. So try not to look at me, so as not to pollute your noble eyes."
Luo Qingyan's mouth was blocked, and he stared at Shi Li with wide eyes, as if he didn't expect that she would accept his criticism so calmly.
If other girls of her age were called vulgar, they would have run away to a deserted place with red eyes and cried secretly.
"Miss, our people are back!"
A loud male voice diverted Shi Li's attention. She waved her hand again and walked towards the person who had returned from exploring the way.
"Miss, the road ahead may be difficult." The spy dismounted and handed over a thorn branch.
When Shi Li saw this, his expression suddenly became serious.
Everyone who escorts an escort knows that the thorns on the road are deliberately left by bandits. I thought that the Wenchang Escort Agency would have a smooth journey after it was launched, but I soon encountered someone who didn't buy into it.
Her luck is really not good.
Lowering his head and touching the Emei Spear that he carried with him, Shi Li softly instructed the spy, "Go and inform everyone to be alert and protect Master Luo."
The spies' going back and forth wasted some time, so they set off again and arrived at the foot of a mountain in front of them at sunset.
Shi Li looked at the sky which was half bright and half dark for a whole day and didn't want to consider going any further, so he prepared to camp at the foot of the mountain for a night, otherwise it would be too dangerous to walk on the unfamiliar mountain road after dark.
For this reason, she was prepared for Luo Qingyan to make a noise.
The result surprised her again. When Luo Qingyan heard that they were going to spend the night here, he actually nodded and dismounted cooperatively. He did not make a fuss about continuing on his journey.
Shi Li: ...
It’s true that you should never try to guess what a man is thinking.
After stopping, the servants accompanying the team began to busy themselves with making fire and boiling water, while the others dispersed to rest.
Piles of bonfires were soon lit up, but at the same time, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from the way they came.
somebody is coming.
Shi Li had just sat down by the fire when he heard the sound and stood up and looked in the direction they came from.
The firelight shone on his face, and his eyes were calm and firm.
