Deng Lao Er found a sparsely wooded forest to rest for a moment while trying to understand what the two people were talking about.
It turned out that after his brother had left, Deng, the head of the escorts, couldn't stand being idle and began to accept some bodyguard work in his personal capacity—there was no choice, other than this, he didn't have many other skills to make a living.
However, he only protected people, not goods, which is similar to private bodyguards; he would get paid for each day he worked.
He actually wanted to protect goods, but Qingning Prefecture is only so big, with a limited amount of business. If he were to protect goods, he would overlap with Strong Crossbow Escort Bureau's business.
