"Let's hurry up and eat, I'm really going to starve to death!" Xiao Tao said pitifully, staring at the bag Lu Tao held in his hand fiercely.

Lu Tao looked left and right, and finally saw the sparkling waves reflected in the distance through the gaps in the branches, he pointed in that direction, and said to Xiao Tao: "Don't worry, there seems to be a river over there, let's go over there and start eating." ”

When I got closer, I realized that it was not a river, but a small stream that could be crossed in one or two steps, but fortunately, the water in the creek looked crystal clear, and there were a few small fish swimming in the direction of the river, so it should be fine to drink.

If you can catch the fish in the creek and roast it by the fire, it should be a very good thing, this kind of fish that is not big or small and just right can be grilled to the outside and crispy inside, and even the spines inside can be eaten, thinking about it, Lu Tao felt that he was about to drool.

Putting this idea aside for the time being, Lu Tao found a piece of grass in the shade, opened the cloth bag in his hand, and a roast goose with a thick sauce color was exposed to the sun without any worries, and several people washed their hands in the stream next to it, Lu Tao tore the roast goose a few times, and then divided it into four equal parts with meat and bones.

Fortunately, this is a roast goose, and the size looks not small, at least after being divided into four parts, everyone is satisfied with their faces.

Peony picked up one of his pair of goose legs, took a bite, looked at it with some hesitation, Lu Tao glanced at him, and asked: "What's wrong?

"Of course not!" Peony glanced at Lu Tao: "I didn't want to say this, didn't you hear it when the carriage passed by just now?" There seemed to be some strange sound coming from the back of the carriage, and it seemed to be a person. ”

Xiao Tao quickly shook his head, his mouth was stuffed with goose meat, so he didn't want to waste time answering this question. Lu Tao recalled, but he didn't seem to have much impression, all his attention just now was on the two warriors who seemed to have a high level of force, and he didn't have time to distract his extra attention to observe what was wrong with the carriage of the carriage.

Liu Ruyan over there nodded: "I also seem to hear some strange sound coming from inside the carriage, as if someone is gagged." ”

Lu Tao nodded, since both of them said so, it means that there is indeed something wrong with the carriage, is it a kidnapping? Lu Tao thought about it carefully, and vetoed this possibility first, after all, judging from the interaction between the coachman in front and the two samurai on horseback behind him, there was no subordinate relationship between them, but it was the coachman who came out first, and it was the coachman who came out first, which was even less like the person kidnapped by the two samurai, and then the coachman carried away such a situation, otherwise it would not make sense at all.

glanced at Peony and Liu Ruyan, these two people have been tense from the very beginning, I don't know if it is because of the sudden disappearance of the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, now these two people don't seem to have any special conflict, and it is not even difficult to agree with each other's statements, which can't help but make Lu Tao express special doubts about the friendship between women, sure enough, whether it is ancient or modern, women's minds can never be guessed.

He put the rice balls in his hand according to the same amount of four people

Separated, and then asked, "What about your plans? Do you want to chase after you and figure things out?"

If Lu Tao was allowed to choose, Lu Tao would never choose to catch up, not only because no matter what hidden circumstances there were, it had nothing to do with them, but on the other hand, because of the force of several people now, there was no way to resist the strength of the other party.

Peony and Liu Ruyan glanced at each other and shook their heads together: "No, let's go back to Wuyang first." ”

Lu Tao nodded, and at the same time reassured: "Then let's hurry up and eat, we can go on the road early after eating early, the weather seems to be changing." ”

In the distant sky, a cloud began to gather here, with a little ink-colored cumulonimbus clouds, pressing over layer upon layer, so that people under the sea of clouds were more depressed, worried about whether there would be a heavy rain from the sky in the next moment.

The originally sunny weather is changing, and I don't know if it's a feature of this neighborhood, so I don't want to say anything, but hurry up to eliminate the food spread out on the cloth bags.

A shadow swept overhead, Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, looked up, but didn't see anything, and took a closer look, and there was a black spot in the distance in the direction of the dark cloud, rushing over at an incredible speed.

"What's wrong?" Peony looked at Lu Tao and looked up at the sky in the distance, and also looked up, but he didn't seem to find anything.

Lu Tao shook his head, in just a moment, the black dot had completely disappeared, and there was nothing else in the sky except for the dark clouds that were getting closer and closer: "It's nothing, maybe I was wrong." ”

The next moment, another black dot gradually expanded from the direction of the dark cloud, and in an instant, it landed next to the stream, making Lu Tao's hand that was about to grab rice balls pause.

It was a burly bald man, on his bare skin, full of black lines spread on it, even his eyebrows and eyes were covered, and his eyes were glowing with a terrifying red light, I don't know why, seeing the bald eyes of the sweaty head, Lu Tao's first thought was the robot T-800 played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie "Terminator".

Almost at the same time, Peony, Liu Ruyan and Xiao Tao all saw this bald man who suddenly appeared nearby, Peony touched it in his arms, but he touched it empty, Liu Ruyan didn't do anything, just put down the half-eaten roast goose bone in his hand, as for Xiao Tao, he seemed to be startled by the sudden appearance of the bald man, and choked on the rice ball that had not yet been swallowed.

"Woo!" Xiao Tao's face turned red, Lu Tao quickly stretched out his hand and patted him on the back, and finally let him swallow the last bite of rice balls, Xiao Tao took a long breath, with an expression of almost dying.

"Oh...... I'm really sorry, but if I disturb your meal, let me sincerely apologize. The bald man stared at this side with red eyes, but what he said startled Lu Tao, he was ready to face a fierce battle, but he didn't expect the other party to apologize first.

"I didn't ...... It's okay......" Lu Tao asked with some hesitation, "Excuse me...... What's the matter with you?"

Unconsciously, Lu Tao even used honorifics, really

The person in front of him looked a little too powerful, Lu Tao was very suspicious, even if he still had aura in his body now, it was a one-on-two situation, and there was no chance of winning.

The bald man took a step forward and stopped: "Do you know which city a man named Emperor lives in? I searched all the way, but I couldn't find any trace of him. ”

Lu Tao and Peony glanced at each other, Lu Tao thought to himself, could it be that this person ran out of some poor country? The emperor is just a title, no one has ever named himself emperor, even if he dares to take it, no one dares to call it that. So what he is looking for should be the only emperor on this continent, Lu Tao is a little puzzled, it seems that many people are looking for the emperor recently.

After thinking about it, Lu Tao felt that there was no problem in directly telling the truth to the bald man in front of him, so he nodded and said: "If you want to find the city where the emperor lives, then it is ahead, probably under that dark cloud, but if you want to find such a person as the emperor, we don't know where he is now." ”

The bald man was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "Although I can confirm that you are not lying in this sentence, there is nothing under that dark cloud, there is no city, only a huge pit." ”

"What?!How is it possible?!" Peony stood up, didn't care about the oil on his hand and wiped it on his clothes, he looked at the bald man with a surprised face, and said seriously: "There is the imperial city of Wuyang, how can it become a big pit? Are you going in the wrong direction?"

The bald man shook his head: "I have confirmed from above, at the end of this road, within a radius, except for that big pit, there is no other city, I believe that there is no obstacle in this world that can deceive me." ”

"How can it be ......" Peony still had an expression of disbelief, and the next moment, he turned his head to look at Lu Tao: "Let's set off now, I don't believe that a city as big as Wuyang will disappear completely!"

Lu Tao nodded, he didn't believe this fact either, stood up, Lu Tao looked in the direction of the bald Khan: "We must first confirm the specific situation of Wuyang City, and leave first." ”

The bald man shook his head: "You guys are too slow like this, why don't I give you a ride, just so you can see if the Wuyang City you are talking about is in that position." ”

This bald man seems to have an inhuman power, just now Lu Tao watched him fly over and fly back, since there is such a convenient method, of course Lu Tao doesn't mind being helped by this person. So, Lu Tao nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome for you." ”

"Small meaning. The bald man waved his hand indifferently, and the next moment, a translucent light curtain appeared under the feet of several people, Lu Tao felt as if he was stepping on a layer of soft sponge, and with the movement of this layer of sponge, the four of them could no longer stand on their feet, and sat down one after another.

"Sit tight!" the bald man reminded, and the remaining translucent light curtain began to rise rapidly, Lu Tao reflexively reached out to grab the light curtain, but seemed to grasp a layer of soft things, this layer of soft things is very tough, Lu Tao can only let his fingers sink into one-fifth of it, and then he can't continue. 2k reading web
