It is said that those people who were left in Wucheng before by Liu Yong have been slowly removed by the city lord of Wucheng. After all, how can one allow others to sleep soundly beside his bed? The city lord of Wucheng was like a mascot before, and he had no way to control Wucheng. Now the emperor's sudden transfer has made him officially take charge of the garrison of Wucheng, and he has eliminated the people of the Liu family.
As Liu Yong's control over Wucheng became weaker and weaker, the Wang family arrived just in time. However, they came down the mountain slowly, and it took them two days to reach Wucheng. At this moment, they were five days behind the Zhang family. Even if they grew faster, it would take them several days to catch up.
After the old man arrived in Wucheng, he directly used the money to rent three upper rooms, took care of his appearance, did his laundry and took a bath. They were really as dry as coal. Wang Shiyu also took out all the clothes she had bought before and changed into them. As for Zhou Qingyun's clothes, they had no choice, so after the old man changed his clothes, they went out and bought him two sets of spare clothes for him to wear for the time being. After they hired the escort agency, they bought a few more sets of clothes and put them in the box so that they could change at any time. The old man picked for a long time in the clothing store and finally chose pink clothes. It was impossible to tell whether it was for a boy or a girl, which could also conceal the child's gender.
Now Wucheng has regained its former prosperity. Merchants who had closed their shops have opened them again. Apart from the fact that food is more expensive, there are no other changes. Even the clothes are only a few cents more expensive than usual. Compared with the previous city, it is really cheap here.
The Wang family wasn't short of money, so they bought a few boxes, some extra food and clothing, and went to the Tongren Escort Agency to hire them to take the Wang family to Qiong Island. The fare was not cheap. Although the Tongren Escort Agency was a little curious about this business, they still accepted the commission because they were open for business.
When they saw the two children, Wang Shiyu and Zhou Qingyun, they paused for a moment. These people were the ones who had been making a living in Wucheng.
How did they get to know Liu Yong? They were somewhat aware of the commission Liu Yong had given them before, but Zhou Qingyun now looked like a little girl, with her hair combed into two tufts. Her original sword-like eyebrows had been shaved into curved eyebrows by Wang Shiyu with an eyebrow trimmer. She was now a pretty little beauty, but with a bit of heroic air.
The master of Tongren Escort Agency was named Xie. The old man looked at Master Xie, who was staring at Zhou Qingyun and Wang Shiyu's faces, and his expression even looked very unhappy. Only then did he explain the identities of the two children.
"Master Xie, these are my eldest son's two daughters, the elder Wang Shiwen and the younger Wang Shiyu. They've endured a lot of hardships along the way, so they're a little timid."
Wang Shiyu spoke directly and openly, "Hello, Master Xie." Zhou Qingyun also slightly concealed his voice. After all, he was young, and his voice was rather ethereal now. With a slightly lowered tone, it sounded more like a girl's voice.
"Thank you, Master."
The escorts from Tongren Escort Agency just nodded and said nothing else. They now knew that the mayor of Wucheng and Liu Yong had fallen out, and they could no longer accept Liu Yong's employment.
So they were not curious about whether these two children were the ones Liu Yong wanted to find, and they didn't even have the slightest thought of asking. Instead, they silently increased the commission by 20%. After all, this business was a bit like a risky deal.
After just a brief communication with the old man and their upcoming trip, Master Xie began to make arrangements for his own family. He actually suspected that this child might be the one Liu Yong wanted to find.
Therefore, all the escorts he sent out this time were highly skilled in martial arts and were proficient in team combat. At the same time, he discussed with the old man that if these escorts were killed in battle, there would be compensation. The old man did not say a word about what Master Xie said, and he agreed to all the compensation that Master Xie mentioned, because he could see that this person definitely knew the situation of his child, and he set the compensation so high, which might cause some unrest on the road.
But the old man also made it clear that the child would not be outside easily, and the "two granddaughters" would stay in the carriage obediently and would not get off easily even to eat.
Master Xie nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. He probably guessed it. The old man had already told him implicitly that one of the two children was definitely a boy, and might even be the person Liu Yong wanted to kill. Since they were able to stay in the carriage and not get off, it would save them a lot of trouble.
