The sloop loaded with tea cargo lowered anchor and slowly sailed away from the dock.
"There is a headwind now, and it will blow for a few days, so the journey is slow." The escort leader said to Wang Xiaohai.
"It's okay. These teas have a long shelf life, as long as it doesn't rain." Wang Xiaohai didn't care at all.
The sailboat's speed gradually stabilized, it was getting farther and farther away from the dock, and it was getting smaller and smaller in sight.
"Sir, is this your first time in Min Country?" Half an hour later, the escort leader asked Wang Xiaohai while standing on the deck.
"Yes, this is my first time in Min Country," Wang Xiaohai said. "I picked up some local specialties and sold them back home."
"The family you belong to in Mi Country must be a very big family, right?" The escort leader had a scar on his face, and it seemed that he had really fought with robbers.
"No, not really. My family is just a small one," Wang Xiaohai said. "It's not well-known. No one in the whole country knows it."
Wang Xiaohai was telling the truth. He didn’t know anyone in the entire Beixing Continent.
"Oh." The escort leader didn't ask any more questions.
Three hours later, the sailboat left the area of Linjiang City.
The river is getting wider and wider, and there are fewer and fewer buildings and docks on both sides. There is a mountain range in front, and the Blue River will pass through the mountains. There are green mountains and flowing water, lush willows and bamboos on both sides, and strange rocks.
After sailing for another hour in the mountains, the sailboat slowed down.
"Sir, have you ever learned martial arts before?" The escort leader came over again to start a conversation.
"I have learned it." Wang Xiaohai told the truth.
The escort leader stared at Wang Xiaohai, thinking that this man was less than twenty years old and would not be very strong even if he had learned martial arts. However, he still couldn't help asking, "How is your martial arts level?"
"Not very good." Wang Xiaohai replied. He thought he was such a failure that he didn't have the ability to fly out of this superstar!
The escort leader nodded, and he thought the same as he did. If he was a powerful person, why would he ask their escort agency to protect him?
"There is a small path between the two mountains ahead. Our escort ship needs to stop here to replenish supplies." The escort leader said to Wang Xiaohai.
"Aren't there enough supplies on the ship?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Yes, but our sailors need to rest." The dart leader explained.
Wang Xiaohai thought, can’t I rest on the boat?
But even though he thought so in his heart, he agreed with his mouth: "Sure, whatever."
The sailboat slowly approached the temporary dock in front of the canyon path. There were several strong men on the dock dragging the chains on the shore, and the scraping sound of the chains against the river rocks was "swishing".
Wang Xiaohai's cargo ship dropped anchor at the temporary dock in front of the trail. The captain and his men started to move. All the escorts shouted and moved the tea to the trail. The man who was originally dragging the chain at the temporary dock also let go and went onto the escort agency's cargo ship to move the tea.
Wang Xiaohai thought these people were so bold that they treated him as nothing. He, the owner of the tea, was still standing on the boat, but these people started to move the goods off the boat?
"What are you doing?" Wang Xiaohai walked to the bow of the boat and asked loudly.
"Didn't you see?" The escort leader came over and said, "We've found a buyer for this batch of tea."
"I understand. You are planning to rob my escort. Aren't you afraid that I will spread the news everywhere and your escort agency's reputation will be ruined?" Wang Xiaohai's tone was not at all panicked.
"Oh, of course we are not afraid of this, because your life will end today, which is a pity." The leader of the escort was followed by several escorts.
"Ah, I'm going to die today. Please allow me to say one last word, okay?" Wang Xiaohai covered his chest with his hands and said with an exaggerated expression, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have come to Minguo in the first place! I regret it so much!"
"Stop making such noises and tell us your last words!" The escort leader urged. What he had said to Wang Xiaohai before was just a test. If Wang Xiaohai had said that he was of high status and strong, they would not have taken action.
"Well, I'm telling you, I want to eat a whole roasted suckling pig before I die." Wang Xiaohai asked, "Do you have any?"
"No, if this is your last words, then goodbye!" The escort leader took the saber handed to him by the escort leader next to him.
"Wait, don't be in a hurry, I have one last thing to say!" Wang Xiaohai shouted.
"If you want to die, die quickly and stop talking nonsense. No one here will listen to your last words anyway!" The leader of the escort became impatient and swung his knife like a gust of wind.
"My last words are to you. If you surrender now, I can spare your lives!" Wang Xiaohai jumped back, just avoiding the dart leader's saber.
"Go to hell!" The dart leader exuded golden martial energy, and the sword energy surged, flying across the sky towards Wang Xiaohai.
Wang Xiaohai's figure flashed, and he came to the escort leader, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You dare to attack me? You're doomed!"
The golden blade light cut the entire ship into two halves like cutting tofu, and the broken bridge slid obliquely into the river, causing a huge splash!
The leader and the escorts looked panicked. What was going on? This was a martial art only possessed by masters!
That’s right, this is the clone technique that Wang Xiaohai got from Lu Feiyan!
The surrounding bodyguards all picked up their weapons and hacked at Wang Xiaohai, the weapons clashing like lightning.
Wang Xiaohai grabbed the escort leader's arm, controlled his hand, and chopped at his colleagues from the escort agency like a puppet. Sparks flew, weapons broke, and the escort leader chopped all the escorts around him into two pieces, and blood spilled all over the ground.
"This..." The escort leader was shocked. He was also in the lower realm of the Golden Martial Realm, but he was completely powerless under the control of the other party, like a puppet. Could this be the legendary awakening realm? He couldn't believe it. How could such a young awakener exist?
"I've told you before, don't seek death!" Wang Xiaohai said, "You refused to listen. Tell me, how do you want to die? I'll be generous enough to give you time to make your last words."
"Can you please not let me die? I have no choice. In Min Country, the Gongsheng family is the supreme existence. Not only do they have the Gongsheng in charge, but they also have nearly a hundred generals in the Golden Martial Realm." The escort leader begged for mercy directly. After all, he was not very loyal to the escort agency and was forced by the situation.
"What's the benefit if I spare you?" Wang Xiaohai said.
"Whatever you want to do in Min Country, I will help you. I have been escorting in Min Country for many years and I know everything. I am very useful. Killing me may feel good for a while, but it will not bring any benefits." said the escort leader.
I have to say that the escort leader was right. Killing him would only give you a momentary pleasure. It would be more useful to keep him.
"I want to investigate the dark side of the Minguo family. Do you dare to help me?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Sir, why do you want to investigate the family of the worshiper?" the escort leader asked fearfully.
"Duties and obligations." Wang Xiaohai replied.
In fact, he was doing it for the money, the little bit of justice in his heart, and the urge to find the truth.
"What is your occupation, sir? Are you a tribute from another country?" asked the escort leader.
"I'm not a worshiper, I'm the inspector of Beixingzhou."
