Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

Trek through mountains and rivers.

Cross the river through the bridge.

To survive in the lower class, people need not only to have excellent skills and solid kung fu, but also to rely on friends and connections when they go out.

When escorting an escort across states and counties, it is inevitable to pass through many local villages. At this time, carrying the escort flag and reporting your name can avoid a lot of trouble.

The Chang'an Escort Agency is not a very large agency, but fortunately it has been in the escort business for decades.

Yu Hanliang was very familiar with these roads. He could always find a few close friends among the people along the way, so the journey was relatively smooth.

Yu Hanliang was worried and sad in the first one or two days, but when he saw that nothing unexpected had happened in the past few days, he couldn't help but feel relieved and laughed at himself in his heart that he was really old!

Yu Hanliang no longer frowned, and the atmosphere in the team became much more relaxed.

Han Xiangma started talking to Zhao Xu, and Yu Hanliang also became familiar with them.

Riding a horse along the way was quite leisurely.

Yu Hanliang was the team leader and would ride around on horseback from time to time to check the situation.

Han Xiangma was young and active, so he walked at the front of the team. Whenever he arrived at certain specific areas, he would gallop ahead to explore the way.

This is also what Yu Hanliang intends to cultivate, so that he can show his face more often, and all these connections will be passed on to him in the future.

Zhao Xu had been to many places and his knowledge and insights were unmatched by ordinary people, so everyone in the group liked to listen to him talk about his experiences.

Yu Hanliang would sometimes talk about a few interesting things he had encountered or heard during his decades of experience.

From time to time, other people would interrupt and express their own opinions, although these opinions often made everyone laugh.

It was a lot of fun along the way, but young people are curious after all. A bright carriage like this in the team, with more than a dozen guards, really made Han Xiangma itchy.

The owner of the carriage was a woman wearing a plain robe, a hat and a veil.

He seldom gets off the car on weekdays. If he needs anything, he will ask the guards to make arrangements in advance, and he makes sure his identity is kept confidential.

Although he couldn't see her face, Han Xiangma guessed that she was a stunning beauty based on her slender figure, the occasional glimpse of her beauty, and the fullness of her breasts that could not be hidden by her clothes.

Han Xiangma is not a novice who knows nothing. He has been accompanying Old Man Yu to visit his aunts and sisters since he was eight or nine years old. He has developed a sharp eye.

I have seen a lot over the years, but I have never seen such a beauty.

I really want to see the other person's true face.

Han Xiangma was thinking about something and his eyes were wandering and panicky. He was caught by Yu Hanliang who was on horseback patrolling.

"What are you thinking about?" Yu Hanliang slapped Han Xiangma on the back of the head with a slight warning.

Han Xiangma recovered, smiled, and then asked softly: "Dad, whose carriage is behind?"

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know!" Yu Hanliang's expression suddenly became serious.

Seeing his father's expression, Han Xiangma knew that the other party was of great importance, and he instantly gave up the idea of ​​continuing to inquire. He had been escorting for some time and knew the taboos.

"Got it, Dad!" He smiled and licked his face, and quickly changed his target, looking at the ox horn bow on Yu Hanliang's back: "Dad, when can you let me try this bow?"

"You little bastard, are you thinking of seeing me off to the grave?" Yu Hanliang blew his beard and glared, scolding with a smile, at the same time, he reached out and gently stroked the big bow on his back.

"Hahaha……"

The two of them were joking and cursing at each other, which made people around them who heard it burst into laughter.

"After all these years of training by me, your martial arts are pretty good, but it depends on who you're competing with!" After touching the bow for a few times, Yu Hanliang started to attack Han Xiangma again.

"Dad, I'm not afraid of anyone in the escort agency except you and the chief escort." Han Xiangma was obviously not convinced.

"You don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!" Yu Hanliang cursed softly, and then continued:

"We are both at the ninth level of martial arts. Old Man Shi and I are only at the middle third level, and you are only at the eighth level..."

Having said that, Yu Hanliang suddenly shut up.

But Han Xiangma was in high spirits at this time:

"Dad, we all know that there are nine levels in martial arts, but you and the chief escort leader usually only talk about the lower three levels. Let's talk about the other levels today!"

At this time, the other green darts around turned their eyes to Yu Hanliang.

“Ahem!” Seeing everyone’s eager gazes, Yu Hanliang coughed twice and then said, “In that case, I’ll tell you what I know!”

"Tell me! Tell me!" Han Xiangma looked expectant and stuffed a stolen wine bag into Yu Hanliang's hand.

"You little bastard!" Yu Hanliang cursed with a smile and began to say:

"The ninth level of martial arts, damaging armor but not breaking it, is the lower third level... A third-level master can break eighty to ninety percent of the armor, and a second-level master is called a junior master. The famous King of Beiliang is said to have stopped at this level."

"Is it over?" Han Xiangma asked unwillingly, and the others also had "resentment" in their eyes.

"I know what you want to know. People of the first rank are all immortal figures. It's a blessing to meet one in this lifetime, hehe!" Yu Hanliang laughed a few times and stopped talking.

In fact, he himself didn't know exactly how that realm was divided, and he couldn't afford to embarrass himself in front of everyone.

Han Xiangma was unwilling to give up, and then his eyes lit up. He looked at Zhao Xu who was leisurely on the side, and asked hurriedly: "Brother Zhao, you must know how the first rank is divided!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu smiled dumbly, and then replied: "The first level is divided into four levels: Vajra, Mysterious Finger, Celestial Phenomenon, and the peak of the human world, the realm of the immortals on land!"

"Of course, this is just a rough division. The specific subdivisions and combat power are very complicated."

"Brother Zhao, you know so much, you must be very powerful?" Han Xiangma asked excitedly.

Zhao Xu smiled but said nothing.

"Don't be too ambitious, little brat!" Yu Hanliang interrupted.

It is taboo to inquire about other people's strength when traveling around the world. After being reminded, Han Xiangma immediately came to his senses and shut his mouth.

Not being able to know the strength of this young master from a noble family, the others felt a little disappointed, but they also understood the rules of the martial arts world.

Yu Hanliang sighed in his heart, he had been in the business for decades but had not learned any information, yet others could just blurt it out. People really cannot be compared.

Then, he swept his eyes over the group of young escorts. Under the training of the veteran escorts, the quality of these young men was no worse than that of the children of the big escort agencies.

It’s a pity that without the inheritance of superior secret manuals, the gap in the future will be unimaginable.

It was already dusk at this time. This section of the road was a long distance away from the towns ahead and behind, so we had to sleep in the wild.

Led by Father Yu, the team easily found a flat area near a stream. This is where they will spend the night.

Although the people in the carriage were traveling with the escort team, they usually ate separately.

After everything was settled, everyone had a simple dinner and started chatting.

It wasn't completely dark yet.

Suddenly, a man walked out from the carriage guard team.
