LEGEND OF THE ETERNAL FLAME WARRIOR
Episodes 183. Old Man
The next day, Jia Li and all his guards and entourage were ready and would soon travel to the heihan city of Wei.
Aside from Ling Yan, Shuyang, Han Li, and Yan Shiki, Jia Wang also assigned the 20 bodyguards he had to make sure his daughter's trip was no problem.
And among the 20 bodyguards of his were some who were already at the 5-star silver level just like Shuyang and the rest were at the 1-star silver level as well as the bronze level.
It seemed that there was already seen a horse carriage along with many freight wagons and others that numbered ten carriages containing merchandise of the Jia family.
Ling Yan who saw that could only gawk and round his eyes because these items brought by Jia Li were all worth tens of millions of gold pieces.
"Ck fast they need strict escort, these merchandise are all nothing cheap." Ling Yan muttered.
Although from the various kinds of weapons and medicinal pills and other merchandise brought by Jia Li there was no one who was a rare item or who was also in the class of an heirloom.
However, because the average merchandise is included in the high quality and the amount is very much, making it still an easy target of robbers who want the goods.
Like weapons in the form of spear swords or axes that they carry for example, these weapons are not very attractive to high-level warriors.
But it will be different if the robbers or warriors who are only in the gold level down, because for them these weapons are a great treasure that they are very difficult to get with the gold coins they have.
"Mr Jia Wang, all the equipment is ready, we are ready to leave whenever you want." Report one of the Jia family workers.
Jia Wang then nodded as he glanced towards Yan Shiki who was next to him.
"Chairman Yan...." Just as he wanted to continue with his words, Jia Wang's eyes were suddenly sidetracked by the presence of an old man who was walking slowly towards him.
Yan Shiki also saw the old man raise his eyebrows slightly before saying.
"Old man, what are you doing here?" Asked Yan Shiki who was greeted with a smile by the old man.
His gaze was seen pointing towards Ling Yan for a moment before replying.
"Esteemed head of the Jia family, can you give your generosity to let me hitchhike all the way to the lotus city, it's been a long time since this old man wanted to go there, but not having my money and energy which is only this, makes me unable to." Said the old man.
Meanwhile Ling Yan who saw the old man now instantly recognized him with Yu Leng who was disguised as a weak old man.
"A pretty good disguise, even if it wasn't for the spiritual fire, I wouldn't be able to feel the air of his presence." Inner Ling Yan.
Jia Wang who heard that looked a little pity and seemed to feel that it did not matter if the old grandfather had come to one of the freight trains, either, but he had not had time to say what he wanted to say, suddenly Yan Shiki held him down while staring in full search at the old man.
"Wait for Chairman Jia, where do you know that the Jia family will travel to the Wei empire, as far as I know the Jia family has never said such things to anyone but the family and disciples of the thousand sword sect who will escort him." Yan Shiki asked in full search.
"Hmmm master swordsman, I know it because every year the Jia family will bring a lot of goods to the Wei empire to fill empty stock of merchandise in the various cities where they open their branches, he said, it's been a long time since I've been waiting for this and only today do I have a chance." Answer the old man.
Although he had noticed the old man before, he found nothing suspicious, but in the martial world, a person who has a older age may be a swordsman who will make us fall into a nightmare.
Yan Shiki then used the inner strength he had to look inside the old man, but still he could not see anything that could make the old man a warrior.
"Already chairman Yan, this old man seems to be telling the truth, after all I wouldn't mind if he hitchhiked on one of my freight trains, let alone.... he's just gonna hitchhike until tomorrow morning, isn't he?" Jia Wang said reassuringly.
The distance between bufeng city and Wei empire can indeed be said to be quite close when taken by using the science of relieving the body of a swordsman.
But because the journey will be taken by horse carriage, with that distance the journey to the lotus city may take up to one day and one night.
Moreover, the route that will be used by this horse carriage later is a circular route to avoid the dark forest area which is located not far from the border area of the two empires
"But...." Yan Shiki was still a little hesitant, yet Ling Yan helped Jia Wang convince him.
"Chairman Yan, give me the task of watching him." Ling Yan said convincingly.
"Haihhh well, you can come." Replied Yan Shiki who felt that Ling Yan could be relied on because he already knew and had seen the fighting ability he had.
"Thank you master swordsman, I promise I won't make you bother on the way." Replied Yu Leng who was now walking towards the freight carriage that was in the back row with Ling Yan.
Jia Li who had just walked out of his room now walked towards the snack carriage that was prepared for him.
Upon entering his carriage, he seemed to glance slightly towards his right and left like he was looking for someone.
"What's the matter of Jia Li's daughter, is something wrong." Yan Shiki asked Jia Li who looked puzzled.
"Ah there is no elder Yan, can you get Ling Yan to accompany my horse carriage?" Ask Jia Li.
Yan Shiki who heard that looked puzzled, while Jia Wang, he seemed to be frowning.
"Where does my daughter know that one of Yan's elder disciples is named Ling Yan, has she met him before." Inner Jia Wang.
"Sorry princess Jia Li, I assigned Ling Yan to guard the row of horse carriages that were behind along with Shuyang, for an escort for the princess, I myself will do it with Han Li." Yan Shiki replied which made Jia Li pout a little.
He wanted to ask Ling Yan to guard his horse carriage, but he abandoned his intentions because of his father's presence there.
"It doesn't matter, let's go." Jia Li said expressionlessly before closing the door of his carriage.
"Chairman Jia, this is a payment as well as an item that Chairman Zhao wants." Jia Wang gave the grout ring to Yan Shiki, then after that finally the horse carriage troupe belonging to the Jia family began its journey.
