Chapter 639 - 339
Han Hu immediately agreed.
"From Fuzhe County to Lizhou, we at the Escort Agency are accustomed to traveling there," he said.
Meng Yuhuai then continued, "The journey isn’t far, just six or seven days, and along the way, there are inns we’re familiar with, so food and lodging should not be too much of a worry. The only concern is the area near Chiyun Mountain, where there are no villages before it and no stores behind it, and we will inevitably have to spend a night in the wilderness. I presume if those two intend to make their move, it will most likely be then. You should coordinate with Li Yingchun to slow down the pace. After you leave, I will send Shi Qingquan with reinforcements the next day."
"Alright," Han Hu nodded with a smile, then dismissively waved his hand, "Actually, this journey to Lizhou was supposed to be a dummy run, there’s nothing valuable in the box at all, where’s the need for such trouble? Li Yingchun and I..."
"Are you being foolish?" Meng Yuhuai cut him off without waiting for him to finish, sweeping his face, "The terrain around Chiyun Mountain is complex, if those two have accomplices, how could you and Li Yingchun handle it alone? The most crucial thing this time is to ferret out the person who is directing them. I’m sending Shi Qingquan and others for reinforcements to ensure there’s absolutely no risk. You better be more careful, stop being so cavalier..."
"I know, I know." Han Hu turned his head and secretly made a scared face, but when he turned back, he seemed like a different person, a sharp gleam crossing his eyes.
"I can’t guarantee other things, but escorting is seriously the thing I’ve done best since I was young. Brother Yuhuai, rest assured, I put my word here, with me present, they won’t escape!"
Meng Yuhuai’s expression then cleared slightly as he looked out the window and exhaled deeply from his chest.
"This task should originally have been mine to run, but because there are too many miscellaneous matters in the Escort Agency that I can’t step away from, I had no choice but to trouble you to make the trip. Thank you for your efforts."
"If you say such things, aren’t we family?" Han Hu grinned as he stood up, "Now that the Escort Agency is in your hands, just focus on how to make more money, and leave the errand running to me!"
After saying this, he walked towards the door, dropping a phrase "Brother Yuhuai, rest early," he flashed out of the room.
