Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 207: Chapter 137 Jiao Long Blocks the River_2

“But the Jiaolong Association is situated in a special place and has never lacked money. Suddenly acting like this, how could those big thieves Along the River tolerate them?”

Without mentioning others, with the Jiaolong Association blocking this location, what else could the people downstream eat?

They’ve captured it all; if they really can’t get it, they could only prey on the Jiaolong Association.

“Well, to speak frankly, I’m just a businessman and really don’t know much about these matters. Just heard rumors that recently, the waterways upstream have been troubled.

It seems a group of monks is coming, these monks are ferociously vicious, specializing in forcibly recruiting people. All the leaders of the various stockades on this waterway are utterly distressed.

Terrified of being targeted by these monks and compelled to enter monastic life…

However, I feel like this news might be an exaggeration, it almost sounds like a joke.”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun’s mouths twitched at this.

Is Master Hongyun coming to Three Rivers Bay?

That was rather quick.

Did this sudden change within the Jiaolong Association have something to do with Master Hongyun’s journey?

“What are these people planning now?”

Thinking this, Su Mo asked, “If the waterway is blocked, is there another way?”

The Shopkeeper glanced at Su Mo and managed a forced smile, saying:

“Now there are several large businesses trying to connect with the Jiaolong Association to negotiate, but there hasn’t been any news yet; we can only wait a few more days.

But if it continues like this for ten days or half a month, those businesses will suffer heavy losses.”

These people are all moving in large groups; getting stuck in one place, with people and horses to feed, how could the losses be small?

“Mmm, thank you for clarifying, Shopkeeper.”

Yang Xiaoyun cupped her hands in thanks.

“Where’s that? Your Iron Blood Escort Agency has taken good care of my small business all along, and what I’ve said is no secret, not worthy of thanks…

However, Young Leader wanting to travel eastward this time might be challenging, and you may have to delay a few days in Three Rivers Bay.”

“I understand.”

Yang Xiaoyun nodded. The Shopkeeper immediately said no more and only mentioned having the kitchen prepare some food and drink before he went out.

After the Shopkeeper had left, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun fell silent.

“Why is it that everywhere we go, it’s troubled?”

Yang Xiaoyun exhaled, rather helplessly.

Su Mo, however, shook his head: “It’s not that wherever we go is troubled, it’s that Jianghu itself is naturally fraught with trouble… Hence, we encounter difficulties everywhere.”

“That’s true too.”

Yang Xiaoyun nodded and said, “The storms of Jianghu never cease, each person has their own schemes and designs, and the entanglement of interests is complex and hard to unravel. But Jiaolong Association’s recent actions are indeed puzzling… What do you think we should do?”

“Switching to land routes now is also difficult, entanglements would take too long to resolve, and we can’t bypass this river after all.

“For now, we might just have to stay a couple more days in Three Rivers Bay and see how the situation unfolds.

“If there’s a new development from Jiaolong Association, we could just follow the current downstream; if not…”

Su Mo’s brows slightly rose: “Then we visit Jiaolong Association and see what ZhuGe Changtian really plans.”

“Oh? You rarely have such aggressive thoughts.”

Yang Xiaoyun was somewhat surprised.

“Otherwise, there are no other options.”

Su Mo sighed: “If the usual approaches don’t work, then we might just have to resort to plain force.”

Yang Xiaoyun nodded in agreement: “Escorting through Jianghu, although we always try to be kind to others, relying solely on a friendly smile clearly isn’t enough to deal with financial impediments from all directions. Ultimately, we stand by martial skill, and if usual approaches fail, naturally we resort to martial prowess.

“The most convenient point for us this trip is that just the two of us are traveling. Coming and going is easy… Otherwise, with many people from the escort agency, being stuck in this region would really be quite troublesome.”

“Sister Yun, do you have any understanding of ZhuGe Changtian?”

“I’ve heard a bit; father once mentioned this man to me…

“Jiaolong Association has been entrenched on this river for over a hundred years, a family legacy, with ZhuGe Changtian being the third generation.

“The skills passed down in his family are quite profound, though he seldom acts.

“Although their past approach was petty pilfering, they never completely sheared the fleece.

“So the reputation downstream of Three Rivers Bay remains passable.

“Just not sure what’s going on this time, perhaps something has happened within Jiaolong Association?”

“Hmm…”

Su Mo nodded slightly: “Let’s stay calm for now and see how the situation evolves. Jiaolong Association’s approach is bound to draw enemies, and if they intend to long continue their business, such measures cannot last.”

With that, there wasn’t much left to say about the matters of Jiaolong Association.

The two of them spent the night at Sanshui Inn; after dinner, they went down to the lobby for a while, hoping to catch any news.

But most were full of gloomy speculations.

Some were optimistic, thinking that Jiaolong Association was perhaps just desperate for money, trying to bite off more than they could chew, and would naturally restore the waterway once full.

But others were pessimistic, feeling this waterway would begin to see more troubles from now on.

And some vividly speculated about internal turmoil within Jiaolong Association, providing detailed but contradictory versions that couldn’t stand scrutiny.
