Synopsis
Update notice: Comrade Mingji has been busy with work. Since the new year, updates have followed a weekly schedule. Please wait patiently. The chapter titles and outline are all complete, and I hope everything goes smoothly and the Changfeng Escort Agency gets a heartwarming ending that satisfies all the fans.
Author’s note: This story picks up after the ending of Changfeng Escort Agency 3: The Escort and the Beloved Daughter of Heaven.
I’ve read a lot of fanfiction over the years, but unfortunately many stories were never finished. There was especially a website run by an escort family in one province, where the best story was called Love’s Dilemma. Sadly, the author passed away before finishing even half of it, leaving a permanent regret.
So I’ve borrowed a few plot points from Love’s Dilemma, hoping to finish this story, fulfill the wish of its author, and make up for one of the regrets of fans of the Changfeng Escort Agency series.
I’ve always believed that those who love Changfeng Escort Agency and classic wuxia have a sense of honor and loyalty in their hearts. If anything is inappropriate, I hope you’ll point it out.
The Changfeng Escort Agency is taking on another escort job.
Lian Rong, the head of the Star Moon Sect’s medical hall; Xie Qingshu, Hangzhou’s number one beauty; and Chu Rufeng of the Wind and Snow Manor have three escort requests. What path should the Changfeng Escort Agency take?
How will Guo Xu, who has lost his martial arts, recover?
How will Feng Ping, lost in drunkenness, return to ordinary life?
How will they handle the many martial arts sects trying to seize their cargo?
How will they counter the schemes of the Heavenly Absolute Sect, the Wuji Sect, and the Ghostly Tower?
Looking back at those who entrusted them with the cargo, who is scheming, who is sincere, and who is a spy?
In truth, this is simply an ending for the wuxia dream of my youth, which never had its conclusion.
Character introductions from the original TV series:
[Guo Xu] Young master of the Changfeng Escort Agency, son of the great hero Guo Qingyun, and one of the Three Young Masters of the Capital. He is close friends with Deng Ren, the Little God of Wealth and the capital’s richest man, and Prince Peng, a noble scion of the imperial family. Handsome, refined, dashing, exceptionally skilled in martial arts, and capable in handling affairs, his signature move is the Shocking Wind and Secret Rain Heartbreak Sword. In Jade Doll, he is pursued by Yanzhi; in Lover Escort, he is infatuated with Cui Ting; in Beloved Daughter of Heaven, he loses his martial arts.
[Cheng Tieyi] Second young master of the Changfeng Escort Agency, representing "spirit," and son of Cheng Feng. He and Guo Xu are closer than brothers. With sharp brows, bright eyes, and a tall, heroic bearing, he is strong-willed and unyielding. His martial art is the Coiling Dragon Staff. In Jade Doll, he would rather exile himself than let Guo Xu shirk the burden of the escort agency. In Lover Escort, he becomes entangled with Rufeng. In Beloved Daughter of Heaven, he gives his heart to Princess Depei.
[Cheng Caiyu] Eldest daughter of the Changfeng Escort Agency and daughter of Cheng Feng. She and Guo Xu grew up together. Well-read, knowledgeable, and shrewd, she has a broad vision and a gentle heart, along with the courage to brave storms. She has loved Guo Xu since childhood, yet patiently waits for him to mature and shoulders the burden of the Changfeng Escort Agency herself. Compassionate and principled, in Jade Doll she takes on the responsibility when Guo Xu and Tieyi both leave the agency, waiting for the men to grow up. In Lover Escort, she and Gu Qiao understand one another but never become a couple. In Beloved Daughter of Heaven, she shows her generosity and wisdom in trying to encourage Guo Xu to survive.
[Feng Ping] Guo Xu’s close friend, representing "wine." Known in the martial world as the Flying Dagger of Thunder, he is the successor to Li Xunhuan, the Little Li Flying Dagger. He seems cold but is warm underneath. He loves Yanzhi, but she does not return his feelings, creating a tangled situation: Feng Ping pursues Yanzhi, Yanzhi pursues Guo Xu, and Guo Xu avoids Yanzhi. His weapon is thirteen Thunder Flying Daggers. In Jade Doll, all his devoted love comes to nothing. In Lover Escort, unable to accept Yanzhi’s death, he drowns himself in wine until Guo Xu brings him to his senses. He does not appear in Beloved Daughter of Heaven.
[Xin Li] Guo Xu’s close friend, representing "wealth." Known in the martial world as Swift Sword Xin Li, he once made his living hunting heads. A burn scar covers his face, which he hides with his long hair. He appears carefree, irreverent, and greedy for money, but has spent years searching for the enemy who slaughtered his family so he can avenge his dead wife. His swift sword skills are on par with Guo Xu’s. In Jade Doll, because Chuchu looks like his fiancée, he protects her for thousands of miles without seeking romance. In Lover Escort, he takes revenge on Cui Ting for a girl in exchange for one coin. In Beloved Daughter of Heaven, the Japanese thief Bai Yulian controls him and makes him stab Guo Xu, leaving Guo Xu without his martial arts. Xin Li stays with the Changfeng Escort Agency out of guilt.
[Shi Xiucai] Guo Xu’s close friend, representing "lust." His real name is Shi Xiu. Handsome, refined, and polite, he is also witty, quick-witted, and funny. A formidable martial artist, he fights with a folding fan. He loves women and enjoys visiting brothels and having romantic affairs. He does not appear in Jade Doll. In Lover Escort, he angers Chu Rufeng by pursuing her younger sister Chu Ruxue. In the end, Weng Taibei kills Ruxue, and Shi Xiucai honors his promise by erecting a tombstone in her name. He has always respected Chu Rufeng and never dares overstep. In Beloved Daughter of Heaven, he flirts with the wife of Zhao Guangyuan, the Smiling Tiger. When Zhao Guangyuan pursues him, Guo Xu saves him, and this leads him to meet the princess.
[Zhu Tianfeng] Cheng Tieyi’s beloved and the only daughter of Emperor Zhengde, bestowed with the title Princess Depei. Exquisitely beautiful, with eyes full of tenderness, she is initially spoiled and willful, but is actually innocent, kind, and sheltered, with plenty of courage. Later, she matures and learns to put herself in others’ shoes. She loves Cheng Tieyi so deeply that she is even willing to give up her title and elope with him. But Cheng Tieyi thinks things through and submits to reality, so she returns to the palace.
[Weng Taibei] Commander of the Imperial Guard. Deep, sinister, calculating, exceptionally skilled in martial arts, vain, and ruthless, he is the father-in-law of Deng Ren, Guo Xu’s close friend and the Little God of Wealth. At the same time, he sees through the ways of the world and has an overwhelming thirst for power. He is the emperor’s most favored official. In Jade Doll, he uses events in the martial world to teach his daughter a lesson, staging an assassination to make Deng Ren tell the truth, then persuading him to pursue the treasure across thousands of miles, achieving two aims at once. However, he is also murderous, slaughtering everyone at the Mei family manor. In Lover Escort, forced by circumstances, he seizes the purple crystal and beats Chu Ruxue to death. He wavers between sides, but ultimately joins forces with the Changfeng Escort Agency against Prince Yao and earns merit by saving the emperor. In Beloved Daughter of Heaven, he becomes the most tragic Imperial Guard commander. He never stops cursing Cheng Tieyi, but after being fed a steady diet of public displays of affection by the princess and Tieyi, he dares not say a word. In the end, he joins forces with the Changfeng Escort Agency to clear his name and escort the princess back to the palace.
[Cui Ting] Guo Xu’s beloved. Beautiful and striking, with a heroic air, she is a concubine and assassin of the rebel Prince Yao. After meeting Cui Jingzhi of the Kunlun Sect, a secret method causes her to develop a split personality and awakens her kind instincts. Guo Xu protects her all the way to the capital as she escorts the purple crystal. She is ruthless, turning an entire village into a village of widows and killing both officials and her foster father. In the end, Guo Xu awakens her kind personality, and she joins him in resisting Prince Yao. She is eventually killed by a plot Prince Yao had laid long before, dying in Guo Xu’s arms.
[Chu Rufeng] Eldest daughter of the Wind and Snow Manor. She appears hard on the outside but is soft at heart. She acts out of honor in the martial world and courageously comes to the rescue, only for her younger sister to be killed by Weng Taibei and for her own leg to be broken. She falls in love with Tieyi as he cares for her devotedly, but unfortunately he has only ever been moved by her kindness and has never loved her.

It can be seen that the author has rich experience and has a deep and thorough study of the characters in the play, so the concept is complicated and he thinks a lot. The framework of the book is large, and the more characters there are, the harder it is to grasp it. The author has tried very hard to continue the story along the settings of the characters in the play. However, it is even more difficult to portray the complex nature of human nature. In my opinion, you have grasped it quite well, especially the interaction between Caiyu and Guo Xu, which is very suitable for the TV series, at least it did not make me out of the drama.
The cp of childhood unhappiness finally has a perfect ending in the author's writing. Thank you to the author. ❤️
Feeling so happy! After turning 30, I rewatched "The Bodyguard" with more emotions than when I was young. I was lucky enough to catch such a good sequel, which fulfilled my dream and made me feel proud. Thank you "Bodyguard", thank you Mingji, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, the wind is winding all the way, and we meet again in the rivers and lakes!
It was Xin Li who got married first, and the next few chapters should be about the other two couples. When I thought about seeing them today, I was so excited. It has been two years since the beginning. I thank the author for making our dream come true. I am very happy and reluctant to let go...
The author has worked hard to complete such a large continuation of his work and the whole process is free. It is really a work of love. Just like the one above, I also saw the barrage pointing me to this place when I was reviewing Tian's Sweetheart at Xiaopo Station this year. I accidentally discovered this treasured work. I just followed it to the end and regretted that Feng Yi was not finished in the play! Thanks to the author, I hope to see other works from you in the future! A small question, I would like to know what profession the author is engaged in. The writing style is quite good and the conception is very sophisticated. Could it be that he also has a job like writing a pen 😳
Yan Feiyu stole the show so much. At first I thought it was Yan Feiyu pretending to be Feng girl again and marrying into the Cheng family, but I didn't expect that, hahaha, I laughed to death, it was so stolen that I wanted to add drama to Xu Yu. If Guo Xu heard with his own ears that jade mining was called Feiyu, would he be jealous? When Miss Feng gives birth, she looks like a fool in iron clothes. It's very picturesque. I really want to see what Guo Xu looks like when he goes to bed anxiously and furiously while picking jade and going through all kinds of hardships to give birth. After having a child, Caiyu can no longer accompany Guo Xu as a escort. Their lives have really reached a new stage. I had also checked out Ming Dynasty wedding attire and colorful crowns before, and imagined what they would look like on their wedding day.
Thanks to the author for patiently answering my comments before, and for explaining it in detail in what the author has to say. In the past few weeks, due to work matters and the last time I saw Rongrong injured, I have some opinions about Tie Yi, so I didn't see your reply and update in time. I'm really sorry. Weng Taibei is very cunning and calculated that Guo Xu will be involuntarily involved in the court secrets again. Weng Taibei is truly an old fox. Guo Xu is not bad either. His treasures and magical skills are like floating clouds. He doesn't stick to the imperial court when it comes to important matters. He would rather get into trouble than shoulder the responsibility. He is really a free and unrestrained young boss with a strong sense of loyalty. The Double Ninth Festival battle will not only rely on the martial arts of the Changfeng Escort Bureau, but also on their wisdom. Without the jade-picking Guo Xu and Feng Ping Xinli, the three cobblers can stand up to Zhuge Liang! I feel sad when I see the author writing about the ugly people he has seen in life, like the Xingyue Sect. In the world of martial arts, martial arts must be high enough to protect oneself or even save others. Although villains also have masters, in the end, evil will always prevail over good, and every mountain will be higher. But in the real adult world, there are more ordinary people than heroes. In the face of setbacks and injustice, one must naturally have the courage to fight back, but the physical and mental training involved cannot be summed up in a few words. If you are not a hero, you will naturally not have the abilities and skills to reach heaven. Only by relying on your own strength and insisting that there is justice in the world can you continue to be brave. This is also the reason why I like to watch Changfeng Escort. Guo Xu's martial arts is not the highest, and he even lost his martial arts in the end, but they always seem to have the belief in victory, the courage to refuse to admit defeat, and persistence in justice. This is what all those struggling to persevere in the face of adversity need. Because there must be light at the end of the road, so don't give up easily.
I haven't waited for half a year for the author to revise the article, so I started the second revision today.
Three years, it's not easy! Moreover, the writing style can be seamlessly connected with the original drama. The author worked very hard.
It's hard to believe this is over. I forgot about the National Day holiday and thought I would update every Monday, so I just saw the last one now. I feel really sad that the story of Changfeng Escort is over, but not over yet. What kind of dangers will there be in the next dart, the next journey? Getting married and having children is the climax of a relationship and the beginning of a new life. Apart from the sweetness, what kind of troubles will there be? The story of Changfeng Escort may continue in the hearts of every reader. Thanks to the author for his updates in the past few years, using love to generate electricity, and using a pen to help everyone realize their dream of Changfeng Escort Agency. Those thoughts that were difficult to calm down were all calmed down. Those regrets will eventually subside slowly. The people you meet and the things you pass will leave deep and shallow marks, and then they will be gradually forgotten or remembered in the years that pass away. I am grateful for the journey I have walked with the author, the dreams I have had, and the ups and downs of my life. The world is getting farther and farther away, but this love never grows old.
