Chapter 919 - 919 311 Si Hai Escort Agency Two in One_2

Chapter 919: Chapter 311: Si Hai Escort Agency [Two in One]_2 Chapter 919: Chapter 311: Si Hai Escort Agency [Two in One]_2 Because only the Escort Agency recognized by Zhao Sihai was the real Qihai Escort Agency, which could travel through all seas and be welcomed everywhere.

In the beginning, the Escort Agency was established by Zhao Sihai’s eldest apprentice, but its original name was the Qihai Escort Agency.

After all, how could the disciples use their master’s esteemed name to title the agency?

After the eldest apprentice sacrificed his life in that beast tide, the Qihai Escort Agency lost its guardian and its business declined day by day, ultimately closing down.

It was only many years later that his descendants reopened the Qihai Escort Agency.

However, they were of meager strength and there was a clear generational break, so naturally the business remained sluggish and deserted.

It was then that Zhao Sihai, who was severely injured at the time, personally wrote four characters and sent them over, which changed the agency’s situation.

And those four characters were “Qihai Escort Agency.”

All the escorts and escort masters of this agency were the descendants of those who had fought in that battle.

The children, who were young at the time, had since grown up and taken over their ancestors’ enterprise.

But all of these people had ordinary martial arts aptitude, and even though they struggled to reopen the agency, maintaining it was very difficult, and they faced hardship.

Having observed this, Zhao Sihai sighed and said, “Now, only these two characters of my name are still worth any money, but I don’t know if others will still give face. In any case, these children have to survive.”

So he sent the calligraphy of “Qihai Escort Agency” over.

It must be said that the power of these four characters was truly remarkable. Since the establishment of the Qihai Escort Agency in Qizhou, first, all other “Qihai Escort Agencies” within the borders of the Qi country changed their name one by one, and then all the “Qihai Escort Agencies” across the continent followed suit. The original Qihai Escort Agency, now called the Qihai Escort Agency, became the sole survivor.

This was also a sign of the world’s respect for the two characters “Qihai” and an affirmation of the old man’s contributions from years past!

Wherever the Qihai Escort Agency went, everything was smooth sailing, and almost no bully dared to cause trouble.

Moreover, many mountain bandit leaders, when passing by, would come out to exchange pleasantries, and offering protection was the norm.

Of course, the reason I say “almost no one” is that there are still those who lack conscience. After all, gratitude is a noble virtue, one cannot expect every random person to possess it.

Of course, those who did come out to make trouble didn’t end up with a good fate.

But as time passed, the smooth-sailing trend of the Qihai Escort Agency was now in a proportional decline.

After all, so much time had passed that many people had forgotten the deeds of that person who saved their ancestors.

It had been so long that people had even forgotten what a terrible beast tide was!

Now many people were saying: Let’s not talk about the past.

Heh…

This led to the Qihai Escort Agency rarely undertaking extremely valuable goods, and what used to be a task for three or five people now required a much larger group, with caution being the first priority and safety first and foremost.

And this particular transport seemed extraordinarily important, because the deputy chief escort leading it was Qi Jianyun, the second in command after the chief escort in the Qihai Escort Agency.

It was on the mountain road ahead that he saw a scholar, sitting by the roadside rubbing his feet, apparently over-exhausted from traveling too hard.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but recall his master’s teachings: “When you’re out in the world, to facilitate others is to facilitate yourself.”

Running an Escort Agency is not about fighting and killing, but about understanding human relationships and making friends all over the world!

Especially when he looked closely and saw that the other person had a kind face and pleasant features, he felt even more goodwill and almost subconsciously asked, “Would you like a ride for part of the way?”

As expected, the scholar eagerly accepted.

He then naturally joined the escort party.

Even though Qi Jianyun, the deputy chief escort, had his doubts at first, fearing this young man might be a thief’s spy, after they interacted, he realized just how weak the man was; he was so shaky on horseback that he could fall off at any moment. He was surely not the kind of hand a thief would want, let alone a spy!

Well, it could be an act, but if he were such a good actor, he wouldn’t need to be a mountain bandit; he could make a living in any theatre troupe!

Consequently, Qi Jianyun specifically ordered his men to clear a small corner in the escort cart for the scholar to ride.

Meanwhile, the escort party continued on its way.

The path ahead was vast and smooth, the very essence of the Great Dao. Not only was it smooth now, but for the next three hundred miles, there were no dangerous woods, which provided an exceptionally clear field of vision. As the view opened up, everyone relaxed a great deal without even realizing it.

Two scouts were still far ahead, diligently exploring the road—true models of dedication to their work.

Every so often, they would shout, “Qihai… esteemed” “Qihai… friends.”

This was to notify their own people on The Other Side that all was safe, and also to inform their friends on this side of the road that the Qihai Escort Agency was coming.

We are from the Qihai Escort Agency, please allow us passage with gracious hands, we owe you our thanks!

Qi Jianyun sat at the center, talking to several young escort masters beside him. In addition to alleviating the loneliness of the road, he was also imparting experience.

He was using Feng Yin as an example.

“…For instance, this young scholar. Doing a favor such as offering him a ride is all part of human relationships. To facilitate others is to facilitate oneself. For an Escort Agency, or rather, every Escort Agency has done this countless times! Thus, when traveling alone out in the world, travelers most hope to encounter an Escort Agency.”
