Capítulo 183: Chapter 182: Village Guardian

Since the Chief Escort had agreed, what followed was simple: open the bidding document, receive a deposit, press a handprint.

Watching those items being loaded into his carriage, Li Huowang turned his head to look at the Chief Escort standing nearby.

"By the way, Chief Escort," Li Huowang asked, "weren't there battles recently? Has business been affected?"

"How could it not be," the Chief Escort replied. "While it's true that our escort business can make more money in chaotic times, if the world becomes completely chaotic, then there's no money to be made."

"You know, armies ravage the land like a barber's razor. Those high-ranking soldiers don't follow any rules, but thanks to our founding master's blessing, the fighting has stopped."

Hearing this, Li Huowang was taken aback. "Escort Leader, do you know what happened? Why did the hostilities cease so suddenly?"

He remembered that many had died in the battles, it must have been more than just a minor skirmish.
