Chapter 158 Escort Codes
"Let's go, Ye Mo."
After seeing Li Yun and the others off, Jiang Yueming tore off her mask and returned to her original appearance.
"What's wrong? Ye Mo, let's go," Jiang Yueming asked, seeing Ye Mo standing there dumbfounded.
Ye Mo rolled her eyes at Jiang Yueming without saying a word.
She didn't know if Jiang Yueming was truly stupid or pretending. Although they had left Suolong Pass, there was still a distance to go to the Holy Dragon Empire.
Do we have to walk there?
That would take seven days! And this is a gray area on the border, so there must be many unsafe factors.
If Ye Mo hadn't been injured, she wouldn't have been afraid of those dogs blocking the way, but for now, it would have been best to hitch a ride.
"Jiang Yueming, did you bring a map with you when you came out?" Ye Mo suddenly asked.
"No, why would I need a map?" Jiang Yueming asked, somewhat puzzled.
The Holy Dragon Empire is just east of the Starfall Empire. Just keep going east. Why would I need a map?
"Do you know anything about the escort routes?" Ye Mo asked again.
The only thing she could think of in this place was a security escort agency that could provide protection along the way. She couldn't very well call the police, could she?
"Hey! What do you need a security escort agency for? What are you afraid of? This entire area will be under my control from now on."
Jiang Yueming also began to understand what Ye Mo meant.
What a girl wants most when she goes out is a sense of security.
Jiang Yueming didn't care much about this, which is why he only now understands what Ye Mo meant.
"Oh? What if we encounter bandits?"
"Bandits? Hahaha!" For some reason, Jiang Yueming couldn't help but burst into laughter as soon as she heard those two words.
His appearance completely enraged Ye Mo, who raised her small foot and kicked Jiang Yueming hard, scolding, "How could I have followed such a bastard like you!"
"Laugh, laugh, laugh! What's so funny!"
"Hey, hey, you're the one who wanted to come along," Jiang Yueming retorted upon seeing this.
"You dare talk back?" Ye Mosu reached out and twisted Jiang Yueming's ear, saying angrily.
Jiang Yueming's constant calling of "Qing'er" already annoyed her, and then suddenly Jiang Nuannuan called "brother" in a childish voice.
This is infuriating!
Jiang Yueming is still disobedient and doesn't know how to read her expressions or coax her.
Even if Ye Mo wasn't his girlfriend, she was with him every day, so they were practically a couple.
Anyway, Ye Mo just couldn't stand seeing Jiang Yueming getting so close to other women!
"Ye Mo, Ye Mo! I was wrong, Erduo Erduo!"
Hearing Jiang Yueming's sincere pleas for mercy, Ye Mo's anger subsided somewhat, and she pretended to let go of his ear with her small hand.
Her bright eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on her lips. Taking advantage of Jiang Yueming's lack of vigilance, she once again pulled his ear up, bringing his cheek close to her red lips, and then planted a red hickey on his cheek.
Bo~
A warm, smooth sensation surged into Jiang Yueming's brain, leaving him momentarily stunned and completely forgetting the throbbing pain in his ears.
"Ye Mo, you..."
"Shut up!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueming touched her face, looking pitiful like a child who had made a mistake.
"Hehe, Jiang Yueming, you have to listen to your older sister." Ye Mo gently stroked Jiang Yueming's hair with her small hand, as if she were taming a pet.
She knew that men are naturally not aggressive towards women who are submissive, as long as she teased Jiang Yueming a little.
He immediately surrendered.
"If I remember correctly, a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) will be passing by later."
"We'll just follow them then; that would be safer," Ye Mo said to Jiang Yueming with a smile.
Ye Mo had previously heard that on the way to the Holy Dragon Empire, there was a particularly ruthless group of bandits who would take either the valuables or the life of any passerby.
It would be safer to go with the escort agency.
Jiang Yueming smiled wryly, her eyes reflecting her smile.
If that convoy really does pass by later, they should thank Ye Mo properly.
It was her action that saved your entire convoy.
Why?
Okay, enough pretending, Jiang Yueming has laid his cards on the table.
In fact, he was the bandit leader of the entire Holy Dragon Empire!
And why?
That's because three years ago, he launched a massive anti-bandit campaign throughout the entire Imperial State in the name of the God of War.
Unfortunately, due to various practical reasons, the event failed, but it left a shadow in the minds of all the bandits.
There was also an unwritten rule that anyone who wanted to become a bandit in a certain place had to let Jiang Wushen know, as long as it wasn't too outrageous.
Jiang Wushen will naturally turn a blind eye.
Gradually, Jiang Yue inexplicably became a bandit leader!
So when Ye Mo said she was afraid of bandits, Jiang Yueming almost laughed herself to death.
Tap! Tap!
Dust rose in the distance, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves echoed in the air. A group of about several hundred people appeared and disappeared in the dust.
A hint of joy appeared in Ye Mo's beautiful eyes, and she hurriedly stepped forward to stop the group and explain her purpose.
"So you're from the Loyalty Escort Agency. I'm relieved then," Ye Mo said to a burly man.
The man's name was Li Jian. He had a muscular physique, a conspicuous scar between his eyebrows, and a sharp and alert look in his eyes.
He was clearly a skilled fighter who had spent years licking blood off the edge of a knife.
With him around, Ye Mo and Jiang Yueming's safety was well guaranteed.
In addition, their Loyal and Righteous Escort Agency was quite famous in the Holy Dragon Empire, so passing out bandits generally dared not lay a hand on them.
"This is our protection money," Ye Mo said, handing Li Jian a heavy bag of Star Origin Coins before he could speak.
As the saying goes, "If you take someone's money, you have to solve their problems," and Ye Mo understood this basic principle.
Li Jian carefully felt the money pouch, his expression showing some surprise.
That's a bit too much...
However, he also knew what it meant; their entire escort team had to protect this wealthy patron immediately.
But to Li Jian’s surprise, Ye Mo was just a girl, how could she be so insightful about such basic human relationships?
In contrast, the man behind her seemed like a freeloader.
"Then please get in the carriage, Miss and your entourage," Li Jian said, turning slightly to the side and pointing to a carriage behind him.
"An attendant?" Upon hearing this, Ye Mo turned her head to glance at Jiang Yueming, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "You'd better keep up with that attendant, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueming rolled her eyes, her pupils shifted slightly, a mischievous smile appeared on her face, and she opened her mouth.
"Kaigo! Kaigo!"
His shout startled a middle-aged man, who immediately stepped out of the group, approached Jiang Yueming, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a look of confusion appeared on Ye Mo's face. The head of the household? Can't you see that I'm the head of the household?
She glanced at Li Jian and suddenly noticed that his expression was extremely serious, as if he had encountered something of life or death.
"Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper!" Jiang Yueming said with a slight smile.
As soon as those words fell, the atmosphere of the entire group changed. Every escort guard turned their gaze to Jiang Yueming, their faces solemn.
Even the head镖师 (chief镖师, a term for镖师, a type of镖局, meaning镖局, a type of镖局) of Zhongyi镖局 (Zhongyi镖局, a type of镖局, meaning a type of镖局, ...
Seeing this scene, Ye Mo was even more confused about what Jiang Yueming was up to. Why did their attitude seem like they were about to take action?
"Jiang Yueming, what did you say to them?"
