"The Chief has agreed, but this trip is dangerous. We need at least a thousand taels of patterned silver for escort fee."
"What?"
Lu Ren was shocked, spraying out the tea in his mouth, and coughed repeatedly:
"Where can I find a thousand taels of silver for you?
"I only have two hundred taels here, that's all I have...
"Please, Master Chen, save my life."
At this point, he hurriedly took out a small bundle from behind him, placed it on the table, and opened it, revealing the shining silver coins.
A few escort masters watched with some envy.
Chen Dinghai furrowed his brow, but seeing Lu Ren's pleading face, he finally sighed:
"Alright, alright... I won't make it difficult for you, but I must ask you one thing."
"Master Chen, feel free to ask. I will tell everything I know."
"Which major power have you offended?"
"This..."
Lu Ren seemed hesitant, but after much deliberation, he bit his teeth:
"Master Chen, have you ever heard of Baisui City... the Xing Family?"
"..."
