Chapter 214: with translation of chapter title

Han Shan Cheng's South City Gate.

"Stop, accept inspection!"

Seeing the escort team escorting more than ten wagons, the city guards immediately intercepted them.

Although this world has storage rings as storage spiritual artifacts.

Yet many things still cannot be transported in storage rings.

Such as living spiritual plants.

However, Gu Han's storage space from his system is rather exceptional.

One only needs to store the Clear Heart Snow Lotus in a jade vial that can preserve nutrients and vitality.

Then its efficacy can be maximally ensured, even when kept long-term in the storage space.

If placed in an ordinary storage ring, its medicinal efficacy would likely be lost within an hour!

Therefore, long-distance transport of certain specific goods must be escorted by an escort bureau to guarantee safety.

After the escort team stopped, several city guards immediately stepped forward, preparing to open the escort team's boxes for inspection.

Facing the stern city guards ahead, Dai Jing gave a wink to one of the escorts.

The escort understood, immediately stepped forward and handed a small pouch to that city guard.

"This cargo is rather valuable; please trouble you, Sir, to show some leniency."

If it were as before, once given this, the city guards would let them pass.

But these city guards are from the He family.

The clan's elders have already issued a strict order: no one from the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce may be let escape!

They dare not defy the elders' command!

"After opening the boxes for inspection, we will immediately let you leave the city!"

Saying that, he pushed aside the escort's hand, preparing to open the box door.

However, seeing the city guard's hand about to touch the box, Dai Jing immediately shouted loudly,

"This is the Li family's cargo; the Li family elder explicitly stated that the box must not be opened until the goods are delivered!"

"If the seal is broken, please take responsibility and explain to the Li family elder, City Guard Sir!"

The Li family is one of the five other prominent families in Han Shan Cheng, equal in fame to the He family.

The city guard glanced at the seal on the box, and indeed a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

The Li and He families have always been at odds.

If the box truly contains something valuable that cannot be shown to just anyone.

If he ends up opening it, he'll likely suffer the consequences.

As a member of the He family, he is very familiar with the He family's ways.

Afterwards, if the Li family elder comes looking, the He family will not only not protect him.

but will even directly push him out to be handled by the Li family!

The few city guards from the He family standing nearby also exchanged glances, not daring to lift the box's seal.

"Forget it, forget it; I trust the Li family elder's character."

The leading city guard, feeling guilty, waved his hand, leading the rest of the city guards to step aside and let the escort bureau personnel leave.

Di Ying's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he immediately led the group through the city gate.

However, just as the escort convoy had exited the city, a fierce shout exploded behind them like thunder!

"Stop that escort convoy for me!"

Di Ying and the others' faces changed drastically; while pushing the escort convoy to rush out the city gate quickly, they hurriedly shouted low,

"Everyone scatter and flee!"

Since the He family elder openly intercepted them to stop their departure, the matter must have already been exposed.

Dai Jing also knew that the so-called Li family elder could intimidate these city guards.

But it is absolutely impossible for the He family elder to back down!

Once the He family elder catches up, it will be another battle!

The escort convoy immediately split into five or six small teams, dashing off in different directions.

Even if the city guard were foolish, at this moment he knows he let go of someone who absolutely should not have been let go!

Just thinking of the elder's thunderous wrath and his own miserable fate.

His legs involuntarily began to tremble.

"Chase... quickly chase after them!"

He hoarsely screamed and immediately led the city guards in pursuit.

Capturing the escort personnel is his last chance to make amends!

The five He family elders who came chasing from the city now have grim, terrible expressions.

After returning to their manor, they learned that the Family Head is currently at a banquet and temporarily unable to return.

Without even thinking, one knows that since both sides have already turned hostile, the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce people will definitely flee at the first moment!

Therefore, they immediately headed to the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce while sending word to blockade all city gates.

However, He Qingyun and the other elders did not expect that the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce personnel would act so swiftly.

By the time they arrived, the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce shops were already empty of people!

At that moment, He Qingyun still felt a surge of relief, fortunate that he had earlier ordered the city gates sealed.

But just then, a He family guard captain came to report, having recognized Di Ying's identity as the head of the Yingcai Escort Bureau.

Upon hearing this, He Qingyun's face instantly changed dramatically.

Outstanding Talent Escort Bureau is one of the most famous escort bureaus in Sword South Prefecture.

Moreover, Outstanding Talent Escort Bureau has always stood together with Elite Escort Bureau!

If the two join forces, even the He Family might not be able to defeat them in the absence of the Family Head.

He Qingyun immediately sent part of his personnel to the escort bureau to check the situation.

He himself, together with four elders, went to the city gate nearest the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce to intercept the fleeing personnel of the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce.

Thus we have the present scene: the escort team has just left the city, while He Qingyun and others pursue them from behind.

At this moment, all the He Family elders, while hating He Qing to the extreme, also came to hate this bunch of good-for-nothings of the city guard.

Even this was escaped by the personnel of the escort team!

But things have come to this; their anger is useless, they must quickly catch those with guilty consciences!

He Qingyun took out a sound transmission token and roared in a low voice:

"Convey the elder's order: all He Family disciples currently mining spirit veins must cease work and block the fleeing Elite Escort Bureau, Outstanding Talent Escort Bureau, and Gu Family personnel!"

What this token connects to is precisely the person in charge of overseeing the mining teams in each of the spirit veins owned by the He Family.

The main force mining the spirit veins consists of the populace of the towns surrounding Han Shan Cheng.

While the He Family's team is mainly responsible for supervision.

For any populace lacking enthusiasm in work, the He Family's overseers will use whips to tell them.

What is the price of laziness!

A spirit vein mining site somewhere belonging to the He Family.

The overseer was inside a tent, indulging with a woman abducted from the town.

"Overseer sir, overseer sir, something terrible has happened!"

A squad leader of the supervisory team stumbled into the overseer's tent.

He happened to see three naked bodies piled together.

Moreover, the person in the middle was using a skill called Meat Egg Impact.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, the person in the middle shuddered, his vital essence completely drained!

"Damn it, how many times have I told you not to barge into my tent at night? You just can't remember?"

The overseer pulled up his pants and, in a bad mood, kicked the squad leader in the chest, making him cry out in pain and collapse to the ground.

"Overseer, it's already daylight outside."

The squad leader's tone carried a hint of resentment.

A flicker of doubt passed through the overseer's eyes.

When did his own strength become this strong?

Facing two opponents alone, he could still fight until dawn?

But Overseer He Kecheng's thoughts quickly returned to reality,

"Even if it's daylight, that's no excuse for ruining my Good Thing!"
