"Jing’er, this terrain might really be ambushed by bandits. If anything unexpected happens, you must protect Qingtian well."
Su the Chief expressed his feeling.
Of course, it’s just a feeling, so Su the Chief didn’t inform everyone to avoid causing panic.
The canyon path wasn’t long at all, and with the fastest pace of the escort agency, they could already see the wide section of the road ahead.
"Huff! Father, it seems your feeling was wrong this time."
The wide avenue ahead also made Su Jing’s previously furrowed brows relax.
"Haha! It’s good to be wrong, it’s good to be wrong!"
Su the Chief’s mood improved significantly.
This canyon was the most dangerous section of the escort journey this time.
If they could get through the canyon, the road ahead to Jiangnan City would be completely safe.
But just as Su the Chief was in a good mood and was about to exit the canyon.
Large stones, as if chopped by axes, tumbled down.
Directly blocking the narrow entrance ahead.
"It’s really an ambush."
Seeing the way blocked, Su the Chief’s eyes suddenly widened in anger.
Escort agencies fear nothing more than encountering bandits.
After all, bandits are inherently vicious and ruthless.
Even if you hand over valuables, they would massacre the entire escort agency, leaving no potential threats.
Therefore, Su the Chief loathed these bandits deeply.
"Everyone, stay alert, don’t lose your composure."
Su the Chief roared, steadying the escort masters who were a bit flustered by the falling rocks.
The way ahead was blocked, and even with Su the Chief’s control, everyone still felt uneasy.
Just then, the uneven sound of hooves came from behind the escort agency, and what turned everyone’s face pale was the ferocious shouts of battle that followed.
"Not good, the bandits are coming from behind, quickly turn the convoy around and protect the goods."
Hearing the sound of hooves from behind, Su the Chief’s face changed.
Instantly, he turned his horse and approached.
Meanwhile, Ye Qingfeng and others considered in need of protection.
Were also shielded by the powerful escort masters of the escort agency.
The first to respond.
Were Su the Chief and the mercenary group led by An Yang.
"Haha! No need to be so tense, our Master only wants wealth and women, won’t harm the innocents."
A cloud of dust billowed as a frail, bald, ugly man was the first to arrive before the convoy.
This person, with deep wrinkles on his face and an even more repulsive nose swollen and red from alcohol.
"Where is the escort leader, step forward and speak."
The ugly man wielded two Crescent Moon Curved Sabers, pointing arrogantly at the convoy.
"You bandit, do you think you’re worthy of speaking with our escort leader?"
Seeing the bandit so arrogant, an elderly escort master from Dragon Power Escort Agency couldn’t help but curse.
But just as the escort master finished speaking.
A Feathered Arrow, so swift that everyone couldn’t react, pierced through his throat.
Shot through the throat, the elderly escort master immediately fell, dying as his blood stained the ground.
"Heh heh! To think there’s still someone so fearless to argue with the Green Gang."
The escort agency had no time to mourn when a sharp voice sounded.
Following it was a large group of bandits.
The bandits were led by three, one of whom was the frail ugly man earlier, holding two sabers.
Another was as big as a pig, with a long bow on his back and a sinister smile on his face.
The Feathered Arrow that killed the escort master must have come from him.
However, both could only ride beside the middle figure, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in plain clothes, seemingly just a regular person.
The sole peculiar thing about this man was the blood-red Longsword on his back.
The three led over a hundred fierce bandits, each appearing either vicious or cunning, none looking like decent people.
"Vulture, it seems you can’t even intimidate a small escort agency now!"
The pig-like bandit mocked.
"Fierce Pig, you just killed a small escort master, is that something to brag about?"
The feeble and ugly bandit retorted defiantly.
As the two were about to fight the escort agency, they seemed ready to brawl amongst themselves.
At this moment, a sneaky bandit with shifty eyes and disproportionate features jumped between them, looking every inch the devious lackey.
"Third Master, Second Master, this small escort agency is no match for the Green Gang, probably doesn’t even need you two to step in."
The lackey between them quipped.
"Wild Dog, you go and take the lead."
The hefty Second Master with a big bow instructed.
He was the Fierce Pig Wild Dog mentioned.
Though the two looked down on this lackey, Wild Dog dared speak between them.
He must have had orders from the Master.
Even with all his arrogance, Fierce Pig and Vulture dared not act too wildly in front of the ordinary-looking middle-aged leader.
"Alright! Second Master, Third Master, this kind of small escort agency, just a scare and they’ll hand over the goods obediently."
Wild Dog grinned obsequiously.
"Damn it, what’s the hold-up, go quickly."
Third Master Vulture impatiently waved his hand.
Then Wild Dog tugged at his horse’s reins and came to the front of Su the Chief.
"Are you the escort leader of this agency?"
In front of the Green Gang’s leaders, Wild Dog appeared obsequious.
But facing Su the Chief, his attitude was haughty.
"Who do you think you are, speaking to my master that way?"
Wild Dog’s arrogant demeanor made the immature and excitable Qingtian explode immediately.
"Hey! You little brat, quite the temper you have... But you’re quite the pretty one, we have plenty of fierce guys in the Green Gang who like your kind."
Wild Dog looked angry at first, then let out a few sinister laughs.
Nowadays, there are many martial artists with such peculiar tastes, and the Green Gang is no exception.
"You treacherous scum, I’m going to kill you."
Qingtian, though young, understood clearly Wild Dog’s implication.
As he spoke, Qingtian rushed forward, wanting to attack Wild Dog.
But was stopped by Su the Chief.
"Qingtian, step back to your senior sister’s side."
Wild Dog’s words also angered Su the Chief, as his words were clearly insulting everyone.
However, Su the Chief was thinking of the whole escort agency, forcing himself to suppress his anger and stopped Qingtian.
Qingtian was extremely unwilling.
"Does my word no longer count?"
Su the Chief shouted angrily.
Qingtian obediently retreated to stand beside Su Jing.
