In the next few days, the two of them got along quite normally.
After a long time of contact, Ruthless's nervousness subsided a little.
Xia An, on the other hand, was completely calm. She was doing what she usually did and would occasionally tell a joke to lighten the atmosphere.
However, it was exactly because of Xia An's behavior that Wu Qing had a different impression of him.
Although Wu Qing's legs were inconvenient, her looks were one in a million. She had met many suitors, but none of them were like Xia An, who did not give her any preferential treatment because of her appearance.
Xia An didn't even pity her for her disability, as if she was a normal person.
This feeling was exactly what she had been pursuing. She had always hoped to find someone who would treat her as a normal person, and Xia An had given her this feeling.
They didn't know when it started, but the conversation between the two of them gradually began to increase.
" Don't think that it's a good thing for the Divine Constabulary to be able to set up a mansion alone. That's like roasting you on a fire…"
" The more intertwined the powers of the various prefectures are, the easier it is for them to shift the blame onto each other…"
"Yes, to shirk the blame means to throw the blame to someone else…"
During the conversation, she found that Xia An would always come up with some outrageous ideas, but when she thought about them in depth, they made sense.
This made her even more curious about Xia An…
Due to the state of the road, the convoy moved very slowly.
It took them a full ten days to enter Yuzhou.
When they reached Yuzhou, they were not far from Weixian City, which Xia An was going to.
On this day, the carriages were moving on the official road when they suddenly heard the sound of hooves coming from behind.
Judging from the sound alone, it would take at least a hundred horses to make such a huge commotion.
The accompanying martial artists hurriedly gathered the caravans together and parked the carriages outside to prevent any surprise attacks.
The sound of horse hooves soon approached. Just as Xia An had heard, there were more than 100 people on the horse.
The riders on the horse team were all dressed in black clothes and black pants. They wore Fan Yang's bamboo hats and carried large blades on their backs.
However, when they passed by the caravan, they did not stop at all. They only glanced at the caravan as they passed by.
After the other party left, the escort leader who was responsible for providing protection shouted," It's alright now. Everyone, pack up and continue on your way.”
Xia An wanted to ask the head of the escort if he knew what these people were doing.
However, before he could speak, someone asked first," Head Escort Lin, I don't think those people are good people. Should we take some precautions?"”
"Don't worry, those are people from the Golden Blade Stockade. Although they aren't good people, they are very disciplined. Even if they set up a blockade, they will not make things difficult for us as long as they pay us some money.”
"Moreover, from the looks of it, they probably have something else to deal with. It shouldn't have anything to do with us. Everyone, just continue on your way!”
The escort leader who had traveled everywhere was obviously very familiar with the other party's identity.
However, the Golden Blade Stronghold that he mentioned sounded vaguely familiar to Xia An, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
"Why? Do you know these people from the Golden Blade Stockade?”Wu Qing asked.
"I don't recognize him." Xia An shook her head." I just thought that the name sounded familiar.”
"Perhaps you've heard of it somewhere before. The Golden Saber Stronghold is quite famous in Yuzhou, so it's not strange that you've heard of it.”
Hearing Wu Qing's words, Xia An also felt that she was overthinking things, so she didn't probe further.
After the convoy started moving again, they traveled for about an hour before the sound of hooves came from behind them again.
However, judging from the sound, there should only be two or three horses.
But this time, the horses were extremely fast. As soon as they heard the sound of hooves, the riders arrived beside the caravan.
It was a man and a woman.
The man was about forty years old. Even though his face was weathered, one could tell that he was quite handsome. He was dressed in black, and even the horse he rode was the same color, except for its four snow-white hooves.
As for the beautiful woman who came with him, she was the exact opposite of him. She wore white clothes and a white skirt, and she rode on a white horse. Only the four hooves of the horse were black.
"I am Shi Qing from Jiangnan's Xuansu Village. I wonder if you have seen a group of horses passing by.”The man cupped his hands and said in a clear voice.
The name stunned Xia An. It was the same as the Golden Blade Stronghold. It gave him a sense of familiarity, and he vaguely felt that there was some connection between the two, but he could not remember where he had heard it before.
"I've long heard of your great name, Villa Head Shi. I'm Lin Zhennan from Fuwei Bodyguard Agency!”The escort leader cupped his hands and said.
Lin Zhennan?
Xia An raised an eyebrow when she heard the name.
Previously, he only knew that the escort leader was surnamed Lin, but he did not know his name. In the end, he did not expect that this escort leader was actually Lin Zhennan from the Fuwei Bodyguard Agency.
He was no stranger to this name. It was Lin Pingzhi's father, the enemy of the Qingcheng Monastery, and the possessor of the Evil-Exorcising Sword Manual.
But at the same time, Xia An was a little confused.
Wasn't Fu Wei Bodyguard Agency located in Minnan? Why did they come to the capital? Did they meet someone with the same name…
