Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

After all, during her time at An Wang Fu, she had mostly traversed flat ground, and even occasionally leaping onto rooftops was no difficult task. But now she was in a place with rugged terrain and a complex environment, where even finding a suitable foothold was hard.

Thus, every time Qianqian leapt a distance, she had to stop first to carefully observe, and only after confirming the next foothold would she exert herself to leap again.

In this way, she would sometimes fly up with a "whoosh," then pause briefly, then continue forward with another "whoosh." Although her speed was much slower than An Wang's, she ultimately passed through this difficult and perilous stretch smoothly.

Seeing Qianqian successfully overcome the difficulty and arrive here, An Wang couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. It turned out that his arrangement this time had an ulterior motive: he wanted to personally witness how Qianqian applied the lightness skills she had learned to actual scenes, and use this opportunity to let her gain more experience.

After both of them crossed this complex terrain using lightness skills, that familiar bamboo grove appeared before their eyes again. Just like last time, An Wang walked in front leading the way, while Qianqian followed closely behind. They weaved through the dense bamboo grove, the emerald bamboo leaves swaying in the wind, making rustling sounds.

Not long after, the two smoothly walked out of the bamboo grove and entered the Dark Guard Camp. The one responsible for opening the gate to welcome them was still that kind and approachable Liu Yeye.,

After An Wang and Qianqian entered together, An Wang led Qianqian to the place where he usually handled affairs, as if he knew the way by heart. He slightly raised his hand and gestured, saying: "Qianqian, go sit over there."

Qianqian did as she was told, walking gracefully to the designated spot and sitting down. Only to see Qianqian hopping and jumping, plopping down onto the chair. And at this moment, An Wang casually picked up a stack of letters from the table, selected one and handed it to Qianqian, softly saying: "Come, you look at this one first."

Qianqian carefully took the letter, her gaze immediately falling on the envelope. When she gently opened the envelope, she found a piece of paper inside, on which was written the detailed content of this task.

She looked closely, and the first letter clearly stated the task requirements: help the wealthy merchant Zhu Yuanbiao safely escort a batch of goods (silk) to Tuo Cheng, Ju Shi Xiao Zhen, Dong Dajie 115 Hao, Beilin Kingdom. In addition, it clearly marked the reward for completing this task as a full five hundred taels of silver.

After quickly browsing the content of the letter, Qianqian raised her head to look at An Wang, and said obediently: "Father, I've finished reading."

An Wang nodded, then immediately asked: "So for this task, do you think we can take it on?"

Without thinking too much, Qianqian answered without hesitation: "Of course we can take it!"

Hearing his daughter's crisp and decisive reply, An Wang smiled, and continued to explain: "If you are sure you can undertake this task, then please write a '准' character on this letter paper; if you think you cannot take it on, just write '不可' on it."

Usually speaking, escort tasks like this are relatively simple, and in most cases we can consider accepting them. However, there are still some things that need special attention.

For example, first you must figure out exactly what kind of goods he wants to transport. If it's just ordinary goods, that's fine, but if it involves certain special or valuable items, then the balance between risk and profit needs to be reassessed."

Even silver can be given, but things like weapons, iron ore, and private salt absolutely cannot be given! Not only can they not be given, but people who want to transport such items must be watched even more carefully, because this person is very likely to harbor ill intentions and attempt to do things that harm the interests of Dachang Kingdom.

If you really encounter such a situation, you don't need to take on this task for now, but remember not to act rashly to avoid startling the snake. You need to send two well-trained Dark Guards to quietly follow him, and once any abnormality is discovered, immediately return to report. Only by acting this way can everything be absolutely safe.

After hearing this, Qianqian nodded obediently and replied: "Father, I understand." Only to see her reach out to take the paper and brush her father handed her, then hold the brush steadily, and stroke by stroke, neatly write a large "准" character on it.

At this moment, An Wang selected another letter from the many letters on the table and handed it to Qianqian, saying: "Daughter, you look at this one." Qianqian hurriedly reached out to take the letter, looked closely, and saw clearly written on the envelope the large characters "Task Client Wang Minghui."

When she slowly unfolded the letter paper and carefully read the content written on it, she couldn't help but slightly furrow her eyebrows—it turned out that the task in this commission letter actually required taking someone's life, and the target was a person named Li Dapeng.

(Li Dapeng was the beloved son of the sixth-rank official Li Mingdi. Because his father spoiled him excessively, he was usually arrogant and lawless, often relying on his family's power to forcibly abduct civilian women for his own amusement. The poor Wang Mingtou, Wang Minghui's younger sister, was originally a beautiful girl like a flower or jade, but unfortunately fell victim to this villain's poisonous hand.

Li Dapeng not only raped her, but also cruelly killed her. Wang Minghui was filled with grief and indignation, and decisively reported the case to the authorities, hoping to seek justice for his tragically deceased younger sister. However, Li Mingdi had extensive connections and complex relationships in the Chao Ting, and actually suppressed this matter by force, preventing justice from being served.

The anger in Wang Minghui's heart burned even more fiercely. He ran around everywhere, scraping together funds until he finally raised five hundred taels of silver as a bounty, vowing to take Li Dapeng's life.)

When Qianqian finally finished reading this letter with great difficulty, she was already trembling with rage, her eyes spitting flames of anger, as if she wanted to burn that detestable Li Dapeng to ashes. She gritted her teeth and said: "A person more beastly than a beast is truly guilty of the utmost crimes!"

Seeing this, An Wang asked softly: "Then how should this matter be handled?" Qianqian answered without hesitation: "Approve! Must approve! This Li Dapeng deserves death a thousand times over!"

An Wang nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Qianqian's view, and gestured for her to write the "准" character on the letter. Qianqian took the brush and wrote it with flying dragons and dancing phoenixes in one stroke; that "准" character was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the heart.
