Although only half a year has passed, the mood for this escort journey is entirely different.
Last time, Zhao Ya was just an unnoticed porter; now, he's become an independent Escort Master.
Especially walking on the official road, passing merchants cast surprised and envious looks at Zhao Ya in the center of the escort team.
After all, there are many Escort Masters, but few are as young as Zhao Ya.
If it were someone else, they might inevitably feel a bit complacent at this moment.
But Zhao Ya showed no sign of pride; instead, he became more cautious and careful.
After all, this is his first time taking an escort journey independently, and there can be no mistakes.
At the same time, Zhao Ya keenly noticed that there seemed to be more refugees on the official road again.
The place was filled with people in tattered clothes.
They gathered in groups of three or five, faces dull, bodies emaciated, wandering like zombies by the roadside.
