He said this, paused for a moment, and then added with a smile:
"Forgive me, as this matter relates to the current escort mission of mine and I am unable to disclose further information."
Everyone looked at each other, unable to accept this.
Yet, they didn't know what else to say.
After a while, a voice emerged from the crowd:
"Why must Su, the Chief of the Escort, be so secretive? There are many among us who were friends of Hero Ji.
"Today, we are not here to trouble you, Chief Su.
"We simply wish to honor Hero Ji's last will by guarding this item...
"But if this item is meant to be escorted by Su, the Chief of the Escort, then naturally, we wouldn't dare act rashly in front of you.
"We just need you to tell us where this item is to be delivered.
"Or perhaps allow us to join and escort along with you, Chief Su; this could surely ensure a more peaceful journey.
"This journey can be a tribute to the spirit of Hero Ji in heaven!"
"Exactly!"
"Well said."
"That's right!"
