Since the Chief Escort had agreed, the rest was simple: writing up the waybill, receiving the deposit, and making a handprint seal. Watching the items being loaded into his carriage, Li Huowang turned 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 grunts 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 have any idea what happened? Why did the fighting stop so suddenly?"
