"Copper escorts are the easiest, with short durations and routes not far, mostly between a few county towns. They are the majority of the escorts taken by the agency, but at least one martial artist escort master must oversee it. A regular escort master like you can earn between one hundred to three hundred wen per trip."

"Iron escorts have longer routes and certain dangers due to the valuable goods, which can attract thieves. However, our Four Seas Escort Agency has a reputation across more than ten counties nearby, so both the underworld and the authorities give us some respect, making incidents rare. A regular escort master starts at half a tael of silver per trip."

"Senior, do you usually take copper or iron escorts?" Jiang Ping asked curiously.

"My strength is decent, nearing an 8th-Rank Martial Artist, so I mostly take iron escorts. If there aren't any, then I take copper ones."
