After they stayed in Wucheng for a day, the people from the escort agency started to prepare to set off early the next morning. After all, they planned to travel at a forced march speed, so many things had to be prepared, especially for Zhou Qingyun and Wang Shiyu, who did not plan to get off the carriage during the journey, so everything had to be prepared.

The old man never treated these escorts badly. He provided each of them with carriages and horses, which allowed them to travel faster. He even provided them with protective gear. In order to make his family more comfortable, the cushions in the carriages were all made of fur, so that they could lie down in the carriages comfortably without feeling uncomfortable.

Tongren Escort Agency is not just an escort agency. They have branches in various places. They can replace horses in the next city, or if an escort is killed, they can be replaced in the next place. As long as the employer is willing to pay, Tongren Escort Agency can deliver the employer wherever he goes. Sincerity is their main feature.

The old man was very satisfied with this offer from the Tongren Escort Agency. Since he could afford the compensation, he was naturally willing to send as many people as possible. In this way, they would move forward in a grand manner, and Liu Yong would probably not notice that they were heading towards Qiong Island so blatantly. After all, both the secret guards and them had been hiding carefully before, but now they were walking openly, which made Liu Yong confused. He was really hiding in the dark.

Soon, a more luxurious carriage rushed out from the escort agency. It was a carriage specially for the two children to ride. It looked luxurious from the outside, but there was something else inside. The furnishings inside were really luxurious. The floor was covered with tiger skin, and even the small table and cabinet-like stools inside were made of rosewood.

There are secret compartments under the seats where people can be hidden, and there are several small secret compartments next to them where hidden weapons and poisons can be stored. If the escorts are injured and there is no way to rescue them in time, they can directly poison the people. They are also thoughtfully equipped with antidotes so that they can detoxify themselves. It is really thoughtful.

Soon, they set off. After all, they were driving a carriage and riding horses, so they walked faster. There was plenty of water and grass for the horses on the road, so they didn't have to worry about their ancestors dying of thirst.

You should know that the prices of cattle and horses are now terribly high. After all, after this disaster, the livestock are the ones who suffered the most. The Tongren Escort Agency has paid a huge price to be able to preserve so many horses, so the price is also very attractive. In the past, you could buy a horse for fifteen taels of silver, but now it costs ten taels of silver to rent one, so the old man also suffered a lot this time.

Now, walking on the road is very similar to when they went out before, so they are not worried about the horses dying of thirst or hunger, so they walk faster on the road, and sometimes when they stop to eat or drink water, they are also a little anxious.

Because they would rather move faster. After all, Master Xie seemed to want to complete this task quickly. After all, there was a time bomb in their team, and it had the power of several bombs. They were worried that it would be detonated by someone, and everyone would have a family to worry about.

The people of the Wang family did not think much about it. In order to make them move faster, the old man spent a lot of money to buy a lot of dry food in Wucheng, the kind that can be eaten after being baked. He even bought a lot of cakes. If they were hungry, they could fill their stomachs first and would definitely not hold them back.

The old man also wanted to go faster, so he and Master Xie reached an agreement and walked very quickly on the road. Wang Shiyu, wearing better silk clothes, was slumped in the carriage, holding a piece of osmanthus cake in her left hand, eating slowly, and holding a book in her right hand, reading casually. There were only her and Zhou Qingyun in the carriage, and the elders in the family were not with them, just to make her carriage a little mysterious, and look like a wealthy family traveling. Otherwise, who could hire people from the escort agency? To hire so many people at a time, he must be rich.

The others got on the carriage at the back, and his carriage was the most heavily guarded. Zhou Qingyun probably didn't expect that he could sit directly with his sister, so he sat in his seat with some restraint, secretly observing Wang Shiyu's every move, fearing that his sister would kick him out of the car. He really didn't dare to provoke his sister when she was in a bad temper.

Wang Shiyu also noticed Zhou Qingyun's restraint. She remembered that she seemed to have found some books in a secret compartment, so she reached out and searched for a while, found a pile of books of unknown origin, and handed them directly to Zhou Qingyun. The main reason was that she really couldn't read. Although she looked at the book seriously, in fact, it was the book that recognized her, and she didn't recognize the book. She gave the book to Zhou Qingyun to read it, so that he wouldn't always look at her, so as to avoid wanting to kick him down.

Zhou Qingyun felt relieved after taking the book. He didn't know how to get along with this sister, especially since this sister had a strong observation ability. Every time he looked at her for a little longer, she would look at him directly with an expressionless face, which made him a little scared. Even if he didn't have any other ideas, he was still scared.

Especially every time she turned the pages of the book, that kind of irritable aura was already faintly visible on Wang Shiyu's body. If she disturbed her without knowing what was good for her, she could feel that she would die miserably, and even her great-grandfather could not save her.

So after getting the book from Wang Shiyu, he read it obediently. If he encountered a word he didn't know, he would circle it and write it aside, waiting to ask when he met the foreigners. The reason why he didn't ask Wang Shiyu was because he saw that Wang Shiyu was reading a Three Character Classic. He even felt that this sister seemed to be illiterate, otherwise she wouldn't be so irritable and wanted to chew the book directly. Besides, he had already learned the Four Books.
