Chapter 8: Walking Together
There is a small market about a dozen miles outside the city.
There are horse dealers in the small bazaar.
Jing Xinyue went to buy a horse from a horse dealer.
He Fei watched the dead ash king with a face full of excitement, and sat on the manger to catch his breath.
Carrying a person, running out of the city from Duanfu, and then running here, it really tired him enough.
He Long Ze, who was leaning on the pillar next to the manger, looked at the city in the distance, and the girl's screams that he heard when he left the Duan Mansion still echoed in his mind.
He knew that it must be the voice of a bathing girl, the sound was beautiful and angry, and people couldn't help but feel distressed when they heard it.
Sighing and retracting his gaze from a distance, he turned his head towards He Fei, "You really want to escort the prisoners to Rongcheng with Miss Yue?"
"I'm going!" and Fei Slash said categorically.
"Miss Yue can say that this journey is very dangerous, and her life is in danger. ”
"I'm going, I'm going to protect Xiao Yueyue!" and Fei was still categorical.
"Alas......" and Long Ze couldn't help but sigh.
After leaving the city, Jing Xinyue confessed to them.
This time, she came to handle the case privately, without any family elders accompanying her, nor did she have any clan guards to protect her.
As for the reason for handling the case privately, he did not talk about it.
And Wang Zaixing was arrested, the Wang family naturally would not let him fall into the island, and would definitely intercept the road to save people, and there were many dangers on the way to escort him.
Jing Xinyue hopes that everyone will part ways.
He Long Ze's task of assisting in the case has been completed, and he has the heart to stop wading in this troubled water, but He Fei is destined to follow Jing Xinyue, and he keeps saying that he wants to protect Xiao Yueyue.
It's like a dog skin plaster, sticking to people.
This made He Long Ze very suspicious, and the purpose of He Fei's escape from the secret realm was to come to her.
It's really Mai Mang who fell into the eye of the needle, and it can't be coincidental, and it falls directly together when it comes out of the secret realm.
"Alas......" and Long Ze sighed again.
This time he sighed for himself, when he had a dispute with He Fei before, the system came to the task again, and the content of the task was actually all the way.
This clearly asked him to escort Wang Zaixing and follow Jing Xinyue with He Fei to make a risk.
Now, after he reconfirmed He Fei's idea, he reluctantly gave up the task and had to continue. And it has only been more than three days since the crossing, and I caught up with such a chicken and dog jumping, which is really uncomfortable.
At this time, Jing Xinyue led two horses, ignored Hefei, dragged Wang Zaixing and tied them to the horse.
"Ouch, Xiao Yueyue, why did you only buy two horses......? I have a lot of money here, and you don't want to say anything early, I'm ...... Let's go buy horses!" He Fei suddenly became anxious, ran to the horse dealer, threw down a gold ingot, dragged two horses and left.
"He Fei, why did you buy two more horses?" He Long Ze asked He Fei teasingly.
"What? Brother Long, don't worry about money, we are not short of money, in the future, Brother Long, you will eat and drink spicy food, I will cover it." He Fei hurriedly said, stuffed a horse reins into him, and got on the horse and chased Jing Xinyue, who had driven the horse away.
"Tsk, it's really a good person, so that his brother is speechless. He Long Ze shook his head and sighed, and also got on the horse and chased after him.
Both of them looked dead and couldn't get rid of them, so Jing Xinyue had to let them go together, and told them again that they might encounter accidents at any time on the road, and the most likely thing they encountered was the Wang family's half-way robbery, so it was necessary to rush to Rongcheng thousands of miles away day and night, and only when they arrived in Rongcheng would they be safe.
And the horses in this world have strong endurance enough to run day and night, and the only ones who can't hold on are probably people.
Especially with Long Ze, who has bad equestrian skills, he and Long Ze have only practiced riding horses for a few days in the secret realm of the family, and it is a strange picture, and now he and Long Ze have also ridden an electric donkey on the earth, and the horse hair has not been touched, and he can ride a horse to keep up with Jing Xinyue and He Fei, all relying on his own cultivation to fix himself on the back of the horse and turn it upside down, and he almost didn't break his waist.
Actually, he wasn't the most uncomfortable, the convict Wang Zaixing was crawling and tied to a horse, galloping all the way, his stomach was almost turned upside down, and his face was already the color of pig liver.
Therefore, in order to take care of them, after galloping for dozens of miles, the team will slow down and let the two of them rest.
In this way, He Long Ze learned some details of Jing Xinyue's Duan's case.
It turned out that Jing Xinyue was handling the case privately and had no family support, so she wanted to make a plot to force Wang Zaixing to escape from Duan Mansion, and then arrest him outside Duan Mansion, so as to minimize the danger of handling the case.
It's just that I don't want to go against it.
In Jing Xinyue's words, if it weren't for the quick adaptation with Long Ze, who said the last few words, and the criminal Wang Zaixing suddenly changed his mind and surrendered himself, Duan Fu was afraid that this trip would be in vain.
It is true that it is true that it is a day and night journey, and in order to hurry, several people even eat some dry food.
After hundreds of miles of horseback riding experience, he and Long Ze's equestrian skills are also good, and he has the appearance of a knight.
And in order to escort a live criminal to Rongcheng, at the suggestion of He Long Ze, Wang Zaixing, whose face was like a blank piece of paper, rode a horse and was tied to the horse.
Therefore, Wang Zaixing actually cast a grateful glance at He Longze, but he was still full of hatred for Jing Xinyue, which made He Fei very unhappy.
By noon the next day, most of the thousands of miles had been rushed, but the sky had changed.
First, the wind blew, flying sand and stones, covering the sky and the sun, and then the dark clouds were filled, lightning and thunder roared, and the sky and the earth flickered and darkened.
He Longze, who was galloping on the official road in the mountains, saw the raindrops the size of beans falling, but they didn't even find a place to hide from the wind and rain, so they could only rush forward.
Suddenly, the system interface jumped out, and Long Ze immediately found that there was a red dot on the system map, and he was approaching them at high speed.
Knowing that this was a warning of danger in the system, he almost fell off his horse in shock.
Because the speed at which the red dot approached was so fast that the distance of four or five miles was counted as a mile shortened by one mile.
"Danger, enemy attack!"
Frightened, He Long Ze shouted for warning, but unfortunately caught up with the deafening thunder, and his voice only alarmed He Fei and Jing Xinyue, but he didn't hear what he said.
"Brother Long, what are you shouting?" asked He Fei as he shouted.
"Someone in front is approaching, run back!" and Long Ze hurriedly beckoned to them as he reined in his horse.
"Anyone approaching?" He Fei looked suspiciously at the dark road ahead, "Where is someone?"
"Yes, it's coming!" and Long Ze was about to die in a hurry.
At this time, Jing Xinyue, whose makeup was spent, was already vigilant, but she didn't stop in time.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning swept through the sky, instantly illuminating the low cliff not far ahead, and also reflected a black lacquered figure on the cliff.
Several horses stood in stride, their eyes wide, and they looked at the dark ahead in astonishment.
The three people on horseback were also really jumped by the black shadow, and they were instantly on alert, holding their breath to prevent accidents.
Immediately after, another bolt of lightning appeared, piercing the sky and slashing towards the low cliff.
But the dark shadow on the cliff was gone.
"Boom!" the thunder that followed was like an explosion in the ears.
As if startled by the thunder, several horses suddenly neighed and jumped wildly.
Jing Xinyue has been practicing equestrianism since she was a child, and no matter how irritable the horse is, she can ride on the horse's back steadily.
And Fei is also okay.
And Long Ze hurriedly slid off the horse in a frightened jump.
Regardless of the horses that were rushing in shock, he and Long Ze stabilized their figures, and hurriedly glanced at the system map, only to find that the red dot had come to them from the low cliff in front.
In fact, he had already felt the murderous aura and powerful cultivation pressure that was close at hand.
