Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 362 - 188: Staying in a Hotel_3

On this journey, they followed a familiar path.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun had traveled this road before without flying their flag, and they had not met with any of the mountain strongholds.

This time, it was naturally different. However, with Captain Li on board, there were no issues.

Occasionally, after chatting a few words with ’good friends’, they just let them pass.

Of course, there were also those who knew of Yang Yizhi’s news and did not plan to give face to Captain Li, which naturally meant they had to prove their mettle through combat.

In this regard, there was naturally nothing to fear.

Not to mention Su Mo, Wei Ziyi had volunteered to take the lead several times, already clearing a path for them.

Wei Ziyi was quite pleased with herself:

"Su, the Chief of the Escort, what do you think? If I no longer mix in with the Luofeng Alliance, coming to your escort agency to be an escort leader or something, I should be competent, right?"

"Still lacking a bit," replied Su Mo, shaking his head lightly.

Wei Ziyi widened her eyes: "Lacking what?"

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, Captain Li couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Miss Wei might not know, being an escort leader isn’t just about martial arts. You also need to understand a lot of Jianghu slang and Green Forest codes.

"You are from Leng Yue Palace, I assume Leng Yue Palace might not be as familiar with the affairs on the Green Forest Road as we are.

"The Luofeng Alliance holds itself above these people and never really troubled themselves about them.

"There are quite a few rules and codes in all this."

"I actually understand some of this," said Wei Ziyi with a smile. "Like ’wheel axle head’, ’bright child blocks wind,’ I know them."

"Oh?"

Captain Li was somewhat surprised and glanced at Wei Ziyi, then subconsciously looked at Su Mo.

Seeing that Su Mo completely ignored it, he asked Wei Ziyi, "What does ’collapsed cage’ mean?"

"House."

Wei Ziyi answered without hesitation.

Captain Li immediately laughed:

"Down, cut, yang, secret, understand?"

"I know this one... but I kind of forgot; is it directions?"

Wei Ziyi explained: "These codes are not commonly used by Jianghu people, but we still collected some in Leng Yue Palace. I was curious before and had looked at them, but some impressions aren’t vivid."

"Miss Wei has good knowledge indeed, these four characters are the directions East, South, West, and North."

As he spoke, they saw a figure sprinting, and Fu Han Yuan had already emerged from the side of the road.

"The Chief, ahead lies clear road; the He Family Inn has smoke rising, and there is someone peeling garlic at the front. Judging by the looks, it’s Manager He."

Fu Han Yuan knew this so clearly because they were to stay at the He Family Inn tonight.

Land escort has three ’nots’; one of which is that old inns changing ownership is a reason not to stay.

The He Family Inn is located in a place not close to the four directions but the inn is ’clean’, a ’clean place’.

Iron Blood Escort Agency often stopped here, also forming some relations.

However, if there is a sudden change in the manager, it could mean trouble inside.

In that case, they simply cannot stay no matter what.

Now that Fu Han Yuan has clearly scouted everything and it seems normal.

Su Mo nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, rest for a while."

Fu Han Yuan replied then turned back to the convoy, leaping onto a carriage to rest.

Su Mo then looked at the sky:

"It’s getting dark, we will stay at the He Family Inn tonight. Let’s pick up the pace and get a good rest tonight."

The escort agency’s fellows immediately chorused in agreement.

Not long after they proceeded, they saw a small white building quietly standing in the yard.

There was a sign in front of the door that read: He Family Inn.

Su Mo and the others approached by carriage and horse, and indeed there was a person squatting there peeling garlic.

Hearing the sound of hooves, he looked up and saw the Ziyang Flag flapping.

He was momentarily stunned, then after his gaze swept across Su Mo and Wei Ziyi, it settled on Captain Li, his eyes lighting up:

"Captain Li!"

"Manager He, long time no see."

Captain Li laughed heartily: "Is the backyard still empty?"

"It is."

Manager He loudly said: "Come, come, I’ll take you over."

"No rush, no rush."

Captain Li quickly said: "First, come meet our Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort."

"Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort?"

Manager He looked at Su Mo with a bit of surprise and immediately bowed his fists: "I’ve seen the Chief of the Escort."

However, he was puzzled, wondering if Captain Li had switched sides.

Previously, it was the Iron Blood Escort Agency, yet this time it changed to the Ziyang Escort Agency, and they were following a young escort leader?

Su Mo saluted Manager He with his fists: "We’ll trouble you for a night’s stay here."

"Oh, it’s an honor. Please follow me, everyone."

As Manager He spoke, he set down the garlic and led them to the backyard.

Walking to the back, they saw the place was not small.

They bypassed a large gate and entered a courtyard.

After looking around, Su Mo pulled Manager He aside to chat briefly, asking him to help prepare meals.

Just mentioning, "It’s rather inconvenient to arrange meals for so many people; I’ll let a few fellows help in the kitchen."

But Manager He seemed quite troubled, and as his eyes moved, he whispered:

"Please forgive me, Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, but the inn recently hired a new chef with exquisite skills, and he is very precious about his space.

"When arranging things in the kitchen, let alone outsiders, even I... am not allowed to stand by."

Hearing this, Captain Li immediately looked at Su Mo, about to speak, but Su Mo waved his hand.

After quietly observing Manager He, he smiled and said:

"Alright, if that’s the case, we won’t trouble Manager He anymore, and we’ll just wait here."

"Good... very good."

Manager He agreed, then turned and left.

Watching Manager He disappear into the inner gate, Captain Li finally spoke:

"The Chief, something is wrong."

Su Mo nodded lightly and said: "Tonight’s meal might not be pleasant."

"What a Manager He, what audacity!"

Captain Li, always a bit impulsive, was immediately ready to draw his sword hearing Su Mo’s words.

But Su Mo gently pulled him back:

"Don’t rush..."

He glanced at the escort agency’s fellows who were dismounting and hanging lanterns on the carriages, then said:

"Go and call Miss Wei and Little Situ here; I have instructions for them."
