Inheriting a security escort agency, the game begins with escorting the eldest princess.

Chapter 19 The Eldest Princess Who Infiltrated the Group

Nothing was said that night, and dawn broke in the blink of an eye.

That night, Chu Sheng spent his time cultivating, and the Nine Yang True Qi within his body became increasingly powerful and domineering.

After a martial artist reaches the Grandmaster level, their cultivation progresses through the early, middle, late, and peak stages.

Chu Sheng felt that his current strength was at the late stage of Grandmaster, which was something that ordinary Grandmasters could not contend with.

He had expected this to be a sleepless night, with Zhao Jingzhong and Yanyulou sending men, and he was prepared for battle.

To his surprise, no one came.

Is it because he is too strong that these people are wary of him?

Chu Sheng concealed his aura, got out of bed, tidied himself up quickly, pushed open the door, and walked towards the city gate.

As dawn broke in the east, a gentle breeze caressed our faces, and the air above the long street rustled softly.

Outside the East Gate.

The general in charge of escorting the supplies had been waiting for a long time. When he suddenly saw Chu Sheng appear, the general hurried forward to greet him.

The young general, though not old, was clad in silver armor and looked quite imposing. He stepped forward and greeted Chu Sheng politely, "I am Huo Zhan, greetings to Master Chu."

Huo Zhan is a well-known figure among the younger generation in the capital. At a young age, he is already a General of Chariots and Cavalry, with a cultivation level of eight. He is well-versed in military strategy and participated in the Northern Barbarian War with his father at the age of seventeen.

He also participated in the war to quell the rebellion of the feudal lords.

Although he was young, he possessed the aura of a young general and the iron-blooded killing intent that came from crawling out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, making him far from the kind of general who wore a face mask.

Few young people in the capital city could catch his eye.

His idol used to be Chen Guan, the senior student of the academy, and the two were also good brothers.

But that was before yesterday; now, the person he admires most is Chu Sheng.

He was a few years younger than him, and his cultivation had already reached the Grandmaster level. Such a martial arts genius was extremely rare in the martial arts world.

People admire strength, especially young generals like Huo Zhan.

"General Huo, you're too kind. Are the provisions and supplies all prepared?" Chu Sheng asked. Looking around, the procession stretched like a giant dragon. The amount of provisions being transported this time was considerable, estimated at 50,000 shi (a unit of dry measure).

Hundreds of grain carts stretched for dozens of miles.

"Everything is ready, we're ready to go!"

Let's set off!

Chu Sheng leaped onto his horse, gripped the reins tightly, and galloped alongside the grain convoy.

Huo Zhan immediately ordered the journey to begin, and the convoy slowly traveled along the official road.

This moment.

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

Qingming appeared before Zhao Jingzhong and said, "Your Majesty, the provisions have left the capital."

Zhao Jingzhong was not surprised at all. "Just as I guessed."

"What's the situation at the academy? Have you found out?"

"We've found out. Master gave the Taiping Treatise to Chu Sheng, asking him to escort it to the Human Academy. It's said that he did this in exchange for something from the Human Academy, but as for what it is, our people can't find out."

"The Treatise on Peace?" Zhao Jingzhong's sinister eyes narrowed, and he instantly realized that things were not so simple. He tapped the wooden chair lightly with his fingers. "Have Master Xiao spread the news in the martial arts world, saying that Chu Sheng is escorting The Treatise on Peace and the Book of No Words."

"It will spread not only throughout the Great Xia Kingdom, but also throughout all the other kingdoms."

"The world has long coveted these two scrolls, and this journey to the east will be the end of Chu Sheng's life."

Zhao Jingzhong guessed that the Master had handed over the Taiping Strategy because he wanted the wordless heavenly book from the Human Academy. As long as this news got out, Chu Sheng's journey eastward would not be peaceful.

I don't need to kill him myself; I'm certain that Chu Sheng couldn't possibly reach Wudi City alive.

Qingming said, "Your Majesty, our people don't need to make a move, do they?"

"Just keep a close eye on Chu Sheng, we don't need to do anything," Zhao Jingzhong said in a deep voice. "Just send the news back when he dies."

the other side.

Inside the academy.

The master was enjoying tea by the lake, the air thick with the smoke and a thin mist enveloping the ancient pavilion when Li Haoran appeared. "Master, Chief Escort Chu has left the capital. He went with the supply convoy."

"This kid has quite the appetite," the teacher said, putting down his teacup. "He even dared to take on the task of escorting grain supplies; he's in big trouble now."

"He wanted to stay outside the halls of power and roam the world freely. But how can one remain untainted when one is in this world?"

"I can only wish him good luck."

Li Haoran said, "Master, Chief Escort Chu is a martial arts genius that comes along only once in a century. If you lend a helping hand, would it change his mind and make him join the academy?"

"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Only by letting him experience hardship will my help be truly valuable." The Master looked at Li Haoran, pondered for a long time, and said, "Issue an order from the academy to have people along the way look after him."

In the end, Master still decided to help Chu Sheng, not wanting to see a rising star in martial arts fall.

...........

On the wilderness.

Chu Sheng rode his horse toward the grain convoy, but suddenly reined in his horse and frowned slightly. He saw a familiar figure in the convoy; it was none other than Li Anlan.

When did she join the team?

"Your Highness, don't you recognize me?" Chu Sheng asked, looking at Li Anlan who had turned her head.

Right now, Li Anlan must be silently chanting in his mind, "You can't see me, you can't see me."

Upon hearing Chu Sheng's voice, Li Anlan turned around, looking embarrassed. "Master Chu, we meet again."

"Why is Your Highness in the group? She's also in charge of escorting supplies?" Chu Sheng asked Huo Zhan, who was completely bewildered. He had no idea when the princess had joined the group.

"Master Chu, would you believe me if I said I didn't know?" Huo Zhan smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself that if the princess was to hide in the ranks, the soldiers wouldn't dare to disobey.

Li Anlan stepped forward and approached Chu Sheng's horse. "Master Chu, I need to go to the Eastern Territory with the provisions, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Chu Sheng cut to the chase, "Your Highness, are you here to supply the provisions, or to supply me?"

"Escorting supplies is already a huge burden for me. If I keep you by my side, are you treating me like a Japanese person?"

"Your Highness, you should return to your residence."

Li Anlan didn't expect Chu Sheng to be so direct. "Master Chu, I am escorting provisions on His Majesty's orders. I am a member of the army. You have no reason to make me leave."

"We each perform our duties and do not interfere with each other."

Chu Sheng: "?"

He was speechless for a moment and had no way to refute it.

The ancients were right; only women and petty men are difficult to deal with.

He said somewhat helplessly, "Fine, you can come along if you want!"

Li Anlan watched Chu Sheng ride away and hurriedly chased after him. He found that two legs were no match for four legs. Holding his spear, he muttered to himself unhappily, "Master Chu, wait! Master Chu, how can I live without you, Master Chu?"

"Huo Zhan, give me a horse!"

Huo Zhan immediately ordered his soldiers to bring Li Anlan a warhorse. She leaped onto the horse and chased after Chu Sheng.

"Master Chu is truly amazing. He actually managed to get the Princess to take such initiative. I'm so envious." Huo Zhan admired Chu Sheng even more. You see, in the capital, Princess Li Anlan is the dream lover of countless young talents.

Because of Li Anlan's status, coupled with her aloof and reserved demeanor that always kept people at arm's length, no one dared to approach her.

Huo Zhan and Li Anlan had known each other for many years, but this was the first time he had seen her take such initiative.

It's only natural that beautiful women love strong men.

"Master Chu, wait for me!"
