Chapter 492: After a Woman Disguised as a Man is Exposed 23 (End)
In fact, it is easy to deal with this matter. His Majesty is impressed by the reputation of her Zhenji Escort Agency in deterring border bandits. She can just escape by leaving an empty escort agency behind.
In fact, for everyone except Chu Yuan, the escort agency being taken over by the government was really a blessing from heaven.
The job of a bodyguard is precarious, high-risk and unpredictable. If one could suddenly become a government official, people would be envious if the news got out.
The brothers in the escort agency have followed her for more than a year. Regardless of their abilities, at least they work hard, and Chu Yuan is not going to block their bright future.
So the best way is for her to take Liu Cheng away, and the rest of the people will continue to run the Zhenji Escort Agency.
Of course, she will definitely take away the profits made by the escort agency over the past year. As for what achievements the escort agency can make after she leaves, that all depends on their luck.
After making up her mind, Chu Yuan summoned all the escort leaders and escort masters in the escort agency and told them the news she had learned, and especially emphasized the four words "don't trust everything".
After listening, it is up to them to decide whether to leave or stay.
Everyone's choice was pretty much what she expected; more than 90% of the people decided to stay, and they all looked happy, thinking that this was a great thing to bring honor to their family.
Of course, there are also people like Chu Yuan who are unwilling to be bound and choose to leave.
However, except for one escort leader, the rest of these people are ordinary escorts. Their departure will not cause much impact on the existing structure of the escort agency. Chu Yuan certainly has no reason to stop them.
Thus, the once famous Zhenji Escort Agency was disbanded quietly, so quickly that no one was prepared.
By the time Shao Yunmu arrived at the Zhenji Escort Agency for inspection as an imperial envoy accompanied by the prefect, the place had already been owned by someone else. Chu Yuan and Liu Cheng were packing up to leave.
At this time, Chu Yuan had changed into women's clothes again. When she walked out of the room, everyone in the escort agency was dumbfounded.
Some of them could not believe their eyes. It turned out that the person who had been treating them as a brother for these days was actually a beautiful girl.
......
"This... this, how disgraceful!" The prefect was furious, but he could not say anything because of the presence of the imperial envoy, so he said the four words "how disgraceful" with trembling fingers.
Chu Yuan looked indifferent, cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the prefect, this is just a normal personnel adjustment in the escort agency. I am no longer the boss of Zhenji Escort Agency. Bye."
No matter how stupid the prefect was, he knew that the reputation of Zhenji Escort Agency today was entirely due to Chu Yuan and Liu Cheng.
If Liu Cheng had not been the chief escort to protect the escort agency, and Chu Yuan had not taken action to punish the bandits who robbed the escort, the remaining few people would not have been able to hold up such a big scene.
He glanced at the imperial envoy beside him, but he only got a choking response: "If the prefect has an eye disease, it is better to go to the doctor as soon as possible."
Chu Yuan, who had just stepped out of the escort agency door, couldn't help laughing when he heard these words. Shao Yunmu's words were really infuriating.
In fact, after a night of deep thinking, Chu Yuan thought he had almost guessed his purpose.
The crown prince cannot get a piece of the fat meat of cargo transportation between the two countries, so naturally the other princes can't get a piece of it either. This guy... is as deep-minded as ever.
However, Chu Yuan did not intend to argue with him so much. It was just an escort agency. For Chu Yuan, it was just a small thing to kill time. The wealth accumulated in her space was enough to buy hundreds of escort agencies of this size.
Chu Yuan loves money, but she is more afraid of trouble.
In her opinion, all problems that can be solved by spending money are not problems.
When the two of them rode out of Ping'an Town, Liu Cheng pulled the reins and said, "Master, where are we going next?"
Where to go? Chu Yuan actually hadn't decided yet. She had already fulfilled two of the original owner's three wishes. As for the last one: to serve the country in her own way.
What does it mean to serve the country? Chu Yuan originally wanted to open an escort agency to protect the lives and property of people living on the border. Later, in a sense, he maintained trade between the two countries, which should be considered a contribution to the development of Yin Dynasty.
But now this road is blocked, we have to think of other ways...
Wait! Who said this road is blocked? The escort agency is not only open in the North.
"Let's go to the Western Regions. I heard that there are not only sweet fruits there, but also many charming beauties."
Liu Cheng certainly had no objection: "I will listen to the master."
The Western Regions were thousands of miles away from Ping'an Town. It was unknown how long it would take for the two of them to arrive there on horseback.
But they are not in a hurry anyway. It is also a pleasure to do justice and appreciate the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland along the way.
"Wait, wait!" Just as Chu Yuan was about to set off, Shao Yunmu rode up from the city on horseback: "Huh, I finally caught up with you, you're walking really fast."
Seeing him panting, Chu Yuan thought there was something urgent, but he didn't expect that the man just asked calmly: "Where are you going after leaving Ping'an Town?"
Chu Yuan did not want to reveal his whereabouts: "I haven't decided yet, but the world is so big, there will always be a place for us to stay."
As expected, he was right in his guess. The person accompanying her at this moment should be the one who will spend the rest of her life with her in the future.
That’s great, he’s very envious.
"Well, I hope we'll meet again if we have the chance." At this point, what else could Shao Yunmu say? After all, he was a step too late.
Chu Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Sir Shao, I don't like being constrained. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to step into a place like Yicheng where the rich and powerful gather. After we say goodbye today, I'm afraid we won't meet again. I wish you a smooth career and a bright future in the officialdom."
Shao Yunmu understood the implied meaning of these words.
She wished him a successful career and a lifetime of being trapped in officialdom struggles, but said that she did not like being restricted and had no chance to set foot in the city.
Didn't she even leave him a thought? Shao Yunmu stared at Chu Yuan's receding back in a daze, feeling mixed emotions.
When he finally broke free from his chaotic thoughts, he found that Chu Yuan had already ridden away on horseback. Her mind was so clear that how could she not see through the affection implied in Shao Yunmu's words.
But this affection is too thin, like a candle in the wind, which can be instantly vanished by the slightest breeze.
......
After that, Chu Yuan and Liu Cheng traveled westward, performing free medical treatment and helping the poor along the way.
Most of the money she earned from running the escort agency was spent on this. It was a year later when she successfully arrived in the Western Regions as planned.
On the western border of Yin Dynasty, Chu Yuan reopened an escort agency called Huwei, with Liu Chengcheng still as the chief escort, responsible for transporting goods between Yin Dynasty and various countries in the Western Regions.
This time she learned from her previous experiences and lessons, and made her fortune quietly instead of trying to dominate the market alone.
Two years later, she rescued a young beggar on the street. The little girl was only eight years old and was abandoned by her parents and relatives when they fled famine.
Chu Yuan felt sorry for her, and there were dozens of other children in the city who were in the same situation as her, so he simply allocated a portion of the escort agency's profits and opened a charity in the town to adopt children living on the streets.
Her action was highly praised by the townspeople, and she earned the title of Great Good Man Chu.
Later, most of these children were trained to be talented and were recruited into escort agencies as bodyguards or accountants, or stayed in charity halls as teachers.
The little girl who was first rescued by Chu Yuan became the only female escort leader in the Huwei Escort Agency because of her outstanding performance.
When Chu Yuan got old, he didn't want to take care of the escort agency's affairs anymore, so he simply handed the entire Huwei Escort Agency to her, and took Liu Cheng to live a carefree retirement life.
She had never been married in this life. Even when the business of Huwei Escort Agency was booming, many young talents in the nearby towns were secretly inquiring about her situation.
There were many people among them who were self-disciplined and handsome, but Chu Yuan rejected them all.
When it comes to relationships, Chu Yuan's attitude has always been to let things take their course.
If she happens to meet a lover who shares the same ideals with her, she will certainly not reject him, but if not, she won't force it.
Many times living alone can save you a lot of trouble.
After the body in this small world died, Chu Yuan's soul returned to the system space.
