Beauty and the Bodyguard

The Hong Chamber of Commerce is indeed a big customer, and every visit is a big deal. As long as everything goes well, the reward for one escort trip is enough to be worth ten other escort trips. This is a well-known thing among escorts.

But at the same time, we must also know that high returns often mean high risks. Top chambers of commerce like the Hong Chamber of Commerce, even in places like Weihu Sea Area, have their own logistics channels.

Under normal circumstances, they don't need to ask the escort agency for help at all, but once they come to the door, it means that the escort is beyond their own capabilities, and it is difficult to imagine how difficult it is.

What makes everyone even more discouraged is that the destination of this escort trip is actually Shipeng Island!

In terms of geographical location, although Shipeng Island is also a small island in the Weihu Sea area, in fact it is the closest to the South Island among all the small islands in the Weihu Sea area.

The South Island is a gathering place for the spirit beast clan. Fierce spirit beasts abound, and all of them are extremely aggressive. For ordinary human cultivators, it is an absolutely forbidden area. The location of Shipeng Island is too close to the South Island. , if one is not careful, it is easy to attract attacks from those spiritual beasts.

In addition to the threat from the spirit beast clan, Shipeng Island also has a more deadly threat, the miasma.

Miasma fog is unique to the South Island. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a combination of miasma and sea fog. It never dissipates all year round. For those spiritual beasts with strong physiques and perception far beyond humans, this It's not a big deal, but for human practitioners, this is very fatal.

Being trapped in the miasma, not only is the visibility extremely low and it is easy to lose your way, but the key miasma is also highly poisonous. Even a powerful practitioner cannot survive for a long time.

The location of Shipeng Island is too close to the South Island, and it is shrouded in miasma all year round. The locals who live on the island all year round have a certain immunity to the miasma because they have taken medicinal baths since childhood. But for outsiders, this can be a huge headache.

Therefore, if there is no special need, normal people would not want to go to Shipeng Island at all. It is not surprising that the escorts present have such cowering expressions.

"You are all the escorts of our Qitian Escort Bureau. I never treat you badly. It is said that you can raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a short time. But when things happen, you are all so polite. Isn't it bad?" Qi Wenhan saw this. , the originally sunny and kind expression suddenly became a little unbearable.

The Hong Chamber of Commerce is not only a regular customer, but also a powerful one. The relationship between them is not just business, but also a strategic partnership of mutual support. Due to emotions and reasons, he can never turn away Wei Zhaotong's entrustment. , no matter how difficult the escort is, Qitian Escort Bureau will not only take it, but also make sure that it is foolproof.

Qi Wenhan also knew that this escort trip was not easy, and it was understandable that the nominal escorts were deterred, but the problem was that there were also permanent escorts present. They spent a lot of money to support them on weekdays, but they backed down at the critical moment. How can this work!

Seeing Qi Wenhan's worried expression, all the escorts present couldn't help but look sarcastic, especially the resident escorts who didn't dare to look at him, but even so, they were still not willing to accept this escort.

"Young master, it's not that we don't want to take it, but we have accepted other escorts before, so we can't just ignore them." Someone replied bravely.

"I can understand this, but it's not like that, right? Everyone here is like this, right?" Qi Wenhan frowned.

"I'll go to the Young Master's house." At this moment, an escort finally stood up.

"I'll go too." At the same time, someone stood up next to him.

But apart from these two people, there are no others. These two are resident escorts, and there are no other tasks scheduled at the moment. They are relatively free these days. If they don’t stand up, they will lose face, so I had no choice but to do it.

The other people present, even the resident escorts, would not be willing to take this kind of job as long as they had a justifiable reason. As for the nominal escorts who could come and go freely, it was not to mention that it was entirely up to them whether they wanted to be escorts or not. Qi Tian Escort Bureau has no control over their mood.

"Is there anyone else who is willing to go? There is a lot of cargo this time, and at least four escorts are needed to escort it." Although Qi Wenhan's expression softened a little, he was still a little embarrassed.

At least four escorts should be escorted. This is Wei Zhaotong's requirement, and it is also the bottom line to ensure the safety of the goods. But this escort trip is going to Shipeng Island after all. It is good to have two of them standing up. I want to call all four of them at once. , it is really difficult.

Fortunately, these escorts were only part of the group. There were many other escorts who were not present. Qi Wenhan believed that as long as the mission was posted, it would not be a problem to gather four escorts. It would just take two more days to wait.

Of course, this was the last resort made out of helplessness. In order to recruit four escorts, the dignified Qitian Escort Agency actually needed two days. Isn't this plainly looked down upon and made a joke?

Qi Wenhan scanned the whole place, and finally his eyes fell on Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao, with hidden expectations.

After all, according to the rules, the Qitian Escort Bureau cannot force the nominal escorts to take any jobs, and the other people present are all shameless veterans. Instead of counting on them, it is better to count on these two newcomers.

When Lin Yi saw this, he couldn't help but hesitate. Although he had no impression of Shipeng Island and didn't know the specific difficulty of this escort trip, he could already see from the performance of others that this was definitely a hot potato.

If it were any other time, according to his always cautious temperament, he would definitely not stand up and step on this thunder. However, on second thought, given the current situation of himself and Huang Xiaotao, he would take the opportunity of this escort trip to go out for a while. In fact, it’s not a good choice!

That guy Cheng Qitian shouted in public that he would keep an eye on the two of them. Once they were found alone, they would definitely come and cause trouble. However, with the current strength of himself and Huang Xiaotao, they were definitely no match for his servant, a peak master in the early stage of Nascent Soul. .

Instead of being passively cowering in the Qitian Escort Bureau and unable to go out, it is better to take this opportunity and leave Weihu City for a while. Even if Cheng Qitian wants to find the two of them, it will not be so easy.

However, Lin Yi still needs to weigh how dangerous this escort trip to Shipeng Island is, and whether it is worth taking on this mission to escape Cheng Qitian's sight.

"Let's go too." Lin Yi thought about it again and again, and finally decided to accept it. Huang Xiaotao followed him in everything, and no matter what decision he made, he agreed unconditionally.
