From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 1419 - 1414: The Consequences of Revealing Everything!

Mu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes dramatically.Sometimes, she really wondered what on earth was in this barber’s head.

Jealousy? Status? Those are things she and Shen Feng don’t care about, alright?

"You’re not speaking, are you! Haha, I hit the nail on the head! Lu Daniu, let me tell you, even if Shen Feng leaves, the escort agency won’t let you have it all to yourself. As long as I’m here, Ni Fa will eventually put you underfoot!"

Ni Fa’s little brother clenched his fists, looking ready to declare war with Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang said, "No need for you to put me underfoot, this young master will back out on his own!"

"What do you mean? Looking down on me? Let me tell you, I won’t admit defeat, I..."

"Alright, alright, you win, you’re very impressive!" Mu Shuangshuang said perfunctorily.

Once again, Ni Fa was infuriated.

"Lu Daniu, I want to duel with you..."

"Sorry, last time you lost, and you said you’d listen to me after. Now I’m issuing the first command: right now, immediately, shut up and get back to your room!" Mu Shuangshuang delivered the ultimatum.

"You..." Ni Fa was almost bursting with anger!

"What? Want to go back on your word? Let me remind you, that day when you said those words, so many people were watching!

To be a good escort master, step one is to keep your word!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Perhaps those words had an effect; the once-spirited person suddenly deflated.

With drooping shoulders, he turned around and left.

The escort agency’s benefactor sent a message after breakfast, announcing that the delivery location was five miles outside the city.

So Zhao Erbiao led the escort masters and the escort crew five miles out of the city.

Just five miles, and they were already at the edge of the desert.

Standing on the sand, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t resist looking at the distant landscape covered in yellow sand.

Who knows if the soldiers of the Da Ning Dynasty are camped out there.

Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but think of Lu Yuanfeng again.

Ah well, as long as she’s in Xing City, they’re bound to meet.

And she has plenty of ways to let Fengzi know she’s arrived.

The delivery ceremony went very smoothly.

All the goods loaded on dozens of carts were handed over to the leader.

Mu Shuangshuang observed the man’s appearance, his posture as he walked, and the people who came along, her eyes lit up.

Despite wearing coarse cloth garments,

their aura and their steps were very steady.

Like they’ve been specially trained!

Are they soldiers?

Or perhaps bandits?

Mu Shuangshuang started to regret not checking what the cargo was initially.

If she had known, she might have understood their identities.

After the handover, Zhao Erbiao didn’t let everyone linger.

He insisted on leading everyone back into the city.

Once in the city, back at the inn, he said, "This time the escort mission was successfully completed! Everyone put in effort, and it gave me hope!

I believe that next time, when we transport more valuable goods, we’ll be even more confident! However, our only regret is Shen Feng’s unexpected departure.

He was our brother for so long, and no matter when we meet again, as long as he doesn’t become an enemy of the escort agency, or stand against our Da Ning Dynasty, he’s still our brother!"

Zhao Erbiao was full of loyalty and righteousness.

Hearing this, Mu Shuangshuang, who was originally prepared to announce her departure, felt a bit embarrassed.

This time, she essentially deceived Zhao Erbiao and the escort agency, just to secure safety for herself.

But, as all things must come to an end, even if she doesn’t mention it, when the escort masters leave in a few days, she will have to bring it up!

Oh well, a head-on knife, a drawn sword, might as well be brave!

Once everyone returned to the inn, ready to spend their silver taels enjoying the town, Mu Shuangshuang successfully intercepted Zhao Erbiao at the inn’s staircase.

"Brother Zhao, can I have a moment of your time? I have something to discuss with you!"

Zhao Erbiao glanced at Mu Shuangshuang, sighed, but eventually brought Mu Shuangshuang to his room.

"Speak!" Zhao Erbiao said.

"This journey, being able to escort with the brothers was an honor! Although we didn’t encounter any major disasters, we were true brothers. However, I must stay in Xing City to handle some affairs... which might delay my escort duties, so... Brother Zhao, I... I might have to leave!"

Mu Shuangshuang began with flattering words, believing Zhao Erbiao wouldn’t give her a hard time.

What she didn’t expect was the expression on Zhao Erbiao’s face.

That look of near-regret and heartbreak, even a little disappointment!

Mu Shuangshuang suddenly felt a pang of discomfort!

"Sigh, you and Shen Feng, are the most talented I’ve seen since becoming an escort master! To be honest, I’ve even been thinking you two might one day make our Zhenyuan Escort Agency famous, become our representatives!

Unfortunately, neither of you has your heart set on being an escort! Throughout this journey, I’ve been observing you both, and in terms of character, you both pass the test! Your actions are not outshined by any old escort leaders.

If possible, I’d want to keep you both and rely on you to open up new territory for us! But I know, I can’t keep either of you!"

Zhao Erbiao’s words left Mu Shuangshuang utterly surprised.

"You... How did you know neither Shen Feng nor I have our hearts on being escorts?"

Mu Shuangshuang asked herself, on this journey, she was always cautious.

She tried her best not to make mistakes, yet how...

"I can see it in your eyes. Think about when that barber talked about the escort master’s identity, the glimmer in your eyes!

That’s the glow you get when you like something, we all had it when we were young!"

It’s actually easy to distinguish between like and dislike.

For things you like, there’s always a sparkle in your eyes.

Mu Shuangshuang felt utterly ashamed, unsure of how to respond.

"Oh well, you’re not bad at least! Actually, I do have a way to let you stay with the agency while not interrupting your affairs!" Zhao Erbiao suddenly said.

Mu Shuangshuang was stunned, about to refuse.

Then Zhao Erbiao said, "You know, our agency has an escort route to the Northwest every month!

But it’s too desolate here, no one wants to stay and set up a base! Since you’re here anyway, why not establish a rest stop for us.

Later, resupply and the like can be handled at the place you arrange, and the brothers won’t have to stay at an inn every time they come!"

"But..." Mu Shuangshuang still had considerations in her heart.

She wouldn’t always stay in the Northwest; she planned to leave by the New Year.

Fengzi, too, would have a day of leaving.

"There’s no ’but’, I can help you arrange the funds! Our chief won’t say anything! If you’re short on time, train a few disciples!

Ni Fa won’t do, he needs me to personally guide him, and maybe after time, he’ll become an escort leader, or even chief!"

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart!

Zhao Erbiao believes Ni Fa can do it!
