I trade in both worlds

Seeing Xu Ziqi, the chief escort stood up and bowed, smiling and said, "Mr. Xu, it's been a long time. You have another business to take care of for our escort agency."

Xu Ziqi bowed and said, "Captain Escort, you are too kind. This time we do have a batch of goods that need your escort, and it is estimated that there will be twelve or thirteen boxes."

"Then my sister and I will also go to the capital, and we will need eight escorts to escort us. In addition, we will need three carriages, one for people and two for goods."

The chief escort nodded and said, "I understand. Master Xu, I will personally select eight experienced escorts to ensure the safety of the goods."

"However, since each escort has his own expertise, I need to understand your specific needs so that I can choose the most suitable escort for you."

Xu Ziqi thought for a moment and said, "The goods being transported this time are quite special. They are all fragile items and need to be handled with care."

"Therefore, I hope that the escorts accompanying you can be careful and cautious to ensure that the goods are not damaged during transportation."

"In addition, since the journey is long, I also hope that the escorts can take turns driving and resting to ensure that the horses and people can fully recover their physical strength."

"Also, I hope to have an experienced escort as the team leader to coordinate the entire escort process."

After hearing this, the chief escort nodded to show his understanding.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't worry, Master Xu. I will select the escort according to your requirements."

"I have already chosen the leader in mind. He is one of the most experienced and skilled escorts in my escort agency. He will definitely ensure that your goods arrive safely in the capital."

"In order to ensure the safety of the goods, I will also install some protective measures on the carriage to prevent the goods from being bumped or hit during transportation."

The chief escort of Hongbang Escort Agency is a legendary figure with great martial arts skills and rich experience.

If he personally selects the escorts and provides them with security measures and an experienced team leader, the safety of the goods will be better guaranteed.

So Xu Ziqi nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Chief Escort. When can you arrange the personnel? I hope we can set off as soon as possible."

The chief escort thought for a moment and said, "Master Xu, how about we set out in five days?"

Xu Ziqi nodded in agreement, and after agreeing on the specific departure time and route with the chief escort, he went back.

Five days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of departure.

At the hour of Mao, eight escorts drove three carriages to the door of Xu Xu's house.

Each escort was a burly man with strong martial arts skills. They wore uniform black clothes and carried sharp swords on their waists.

Xu Ziqi and Xu Ziqing walked out of the yard and met the eight escorts. Xu Ziqi said, "Dear escorts, thank you for escorting my brother and sister and the goods to the capital. Please take care of us along the way."

The eight escorts bowed and saluted, saying, "Don't worry, Master Xu, we will do our best to ensure the safety of you and your cargo."

Afterwards, Xu Ziqi and the escorts began to load the goods onto the carriage. As they loaded the carriage, they chatted with the escorts, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The twins didn't recite their lessons today either. I just stood aside and watched them busy.

After loading the goods, Xu Ziqi and Xu Ziqing said goodbye to their sister Xu Xu.

Xu Xu instructed: "Brother Xu, Sister Qing, have a safe journey and come back soon."

Xu Jin and Xu Zhun also waved to them: "Brother Xu, Sister Qing, have a safe journey."

Xu Ziqi and Xu Ziqing nodded and said, "Don't worry, with the escort brothers here, we will definitely have a smooth journey. Don't worry about us, we will be back after we finish our work."

After that, they set off on their journey to the capital. Driven by the escorts, the three carriages moved slowly forward, passing through the bustling market and onto the official road leading to the capital.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived in the capital.

Beijing, this ancient and prosperous capital, is not much different from the last time Xu Ziqi visited.

It is still prosperous and bustling, with people coming and going and traffic, as if it is always full of vitality.

Xu Ziqi brought the bodyguards to the Fulai Inn where they stayed last time.

The innkeeper greeted them warmly when he saw them: "Young man, young lady, would you like to stay at the inn?"

Xu Ziqi smiled and responded: "Boss, please give us two upper rooms."

The boss nodded quickly and told the waiter to take them to the room. The escorts helped unload the goods into Xu Ziqi's room and put them in order.

After Xu Ziqi told Xu Ziqing to rest in the inn and not run around, he followed the escort to the Hongbang Escort Agency's headquarters in Beijing.

He wanted to show his face and say hello to the managers of the General Administration, so that it would be easier to hire a bodyguard on his way back.

As for Xu Ziqing, this was her first time in Beijing. She looked around the prosperous capital curiously, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

She saw shops lining both sides of the street, with a dazzling array of goods.

Pedestrians were wearing a variety of clothes, some were gorgeous and luxurious, some were simple and generous, but they all revealed a unique temperament of the capital.

After Xu Ziqi left, she couldn't wait to go out for a walk.

But because this was an unfamiliar place, and because of Xu Ziqi's instructions, she didn't dare run around and could only wander around the inn.

After wandering around for a while, she came to a busy market.

The market is bustling with people coming and going, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining can be heard one after another, making it very lively.

I saw someone selling candied haws, so I went over and bought a bunch to try. The candied haws were sweet and crispy.

When he saw someone performing acrobatics, he stopped to watch.

The acrobats were so agile and their performance was so wonderful that she was stunned.

She couldn't help but sigh: "The acrobatics in the capital really live up to their reputation!"

After walking around for a while, there was nothing interesting to see nearby. I didn't dare to go far for fear of not being able to find the way back, so I had to return to the inn to rest.

Xu Ziqi returned to the inn exhausted from the day.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the inn, he saw Xu Ziqing sitting in the lobby of the inn, playing with a small toy he bought from the market.

"Xiaoqing, why don't you rest in your room? What are you doing sitting here?" Xu Ziqi walked over and asked.

Xu Ziqing looked up and saw his brother coming back. A bright smile appeared on his face: "I'm hungry. I'll wait for you to come back for dinner."

Xu Ziqi felt warm at the sight of this. He called the waiter over, ordered a few special dishes from Beijing, and asked him to bring a pot of good tea.

After a while, the food was served. The aroma was so fragrant that it whetted people's appetite.

The brother and sister sat around the table and began to enjoy dinner.
