The night was dark and silent, and at the entrance of Yuan Shun Escort Agency, the sound of horse hooves scraping the ground echoed…
On an escort vehicle at the entrance, sat two people: Duan Rong holding a lantern, with a somber look in his eyes; Lu Feng holding the horse whip, his lips trembling as he glanced around nervously…
Just as the two settled on the escort vehicle, two burly men with exposed chests slowly moved a steel-cast box and placed it on the escort vehicle.
As soon as the box was placed on the vehicle, the bottom suddenly sank half an inch. A weight of one thousand pounds was somewhat strenuous even for an escort vehicle used to transporting goods year-round.
Duan Rong, holding the lantern, glanced at the box. It wasn't very large, about a third of the cargo box size used for shipments to Ruyang Prefecture.
However, Duan Rong knew that inside this box was a full one thousand pounds of gold.
