Chapter 429: The Mysterious Lady
The convoy began to move slowly, hundreds of carriages drove on this winding official road, and it was really impossible to see the end, this ancient official road was just a layer of fine stones on the road taken by ordinary people, plus this very old-fashioned carriage, to be honest, it was very uncomfortable and unaccustomed.
But fortunately, Chu He is not the kind of pampered person, lying quietly next to half a cart of goods, looking at the scenery outside the window of the slowly regressing car, even if it is a righteous and tight official road, it is similar to the wilderness of later generations, except for this caravan, there seems to be no trace of any figure, that sense of tranquility, but it is a little throbbing.
On both sides of the convoy, there were constantly patrolling guards walking by, and through the words between them, Chu He seemed to understand which time and space he was in at the moment, the Warring States, the Warring States, because he heard someone say that the Qin State, as well as the Zhao State, and the Changping War with a very clear memory of the Chu River, the time and space behind the Bingmen were the Warring States.
Chu He pinched himself, feeling that it seemed to be a dream.
The Dragon Clan's Eight Dao Training is really mysterious, and it actually turns this kind of virtual realm into reality, Chu He is really at this moment, in the time and space of two thousand years ago, this feeling is very wonderful.
It's just that he can't figure it out, what can he train when he comes to the Warring States?
"Detect that the host is in the Warring States Period, trigger the task, protect the caravan to Handan, fail the mission, deprive the immortal magic spirit one layer, complete the task, and reward the immortal magic spirit one layer. ”
Chu He was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that at this time, the system actually had a task, and now Chu He had only comprehended the third layer of the immortal technique, if he was taken away by one layer, his strength would be greatly reduced, but compared with in the Ice Plain Era, this reward and punishment was not a little lighter.
Chu He's thoughts were immediately sensed by the system, and the voice of the system Xiaomeng came: "The host's training this time has another purpose, and it has nothing to do with the system task. ”
Chu He immediately asked, "What is the task?"
The system said: "It is impossible to know for the time being, it needs to be touched by the host to be sensitive, but warn the host that the two space-times overlap, and the host can only stay for three months at most, once the time point is exceeded, it will cause fatal damage to the host's sanity, and the consequence is to go crazy, get lost in another time and space, and never wake up." ”
Chu He was shocked, but he knew that in addition to the Dragon King and Xuanyuan Tiangang, there was another person who also passed the last eight training of the Dragon Guard, but in the end he went mad and disappeared, if the system reminded him correctly, he should have dragged on for too long and affected his sanity, so he couldn't control himself.
It's just the training of the soldiers, what is it?
Just when Chu He was silently thinking, in the middle of the convoy, there was a more luxuriously decorated carriage, and a woman wearing a veil listened to Steward Liu report on the affairs of strangers of different races.
This woman is the master in Steward Liu's mouth, the car is not only gorgeous, but there are even two maids waiting by her side, it can be seen that this woman is very noble, but I don't understand why such a woman would go to business in person, you know, in this Warring States era, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and noble people will never do such a lowly thing as business.
"Alien, Steward Liu, could this person be a spy?"
Steward Liu shook his head and said, "Mrs. Yu, this person looks very unfamiliar with the world, it doesn't seem like he is pretending, he is indeed a foreigner, but whether he is a spy or not, his subordinates are not sure." ”
"Then keep a close watch, we are in the light, the other party is in the dark, be careful in everything. ”
Steward Liu said with some puzzlement: "Since Madame is worried that he is a spy, why do you want to take him with you?"
The woman raised her head, sighed lightly, and said: "The hidden enemy is terrible, but as long as his whereabouts are revealed, there must be a way to deal with it, if he is a spy, put him in front of us, we can get the initiative, such a simple truth, don't you understand?"
"Madame is clever, and his subordinates will let people keep an eye on him. ”
The woman nodded and said, "This grain team is very important, it is related to the life and death of the entire Handan, and Steward Liu must be cautious." ”
"Yes, my subordinates know. ”
Time passed, and it slowly got dark.
The convoy stopped, and the old man in black, that is, Steward Liu, came to Chu He's car.
"This son, it's dark, it's not suitable to rush anymore, we are going to take advantage of this ancient temple to rest for a night, tomorrow's trip, if the son doesn't dislike it, how about eating some dry food with us?"
"Thank you, uncle, then you're welcome, by the way, my name is Chu He, and my uncle just calls me Chu He, I have to be taken in by your master, I am grateful, can I thank him in person?"
"It turned out to be Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu doesn't have to, after several trips, my master is very tired and needs to rest early, and this little thing is not worth mentioning. ”
Together with the old man, he ate a meal of dry food, two flour cakes, and a palm-sized piece of jerky, plus a pot of water, in this wasteland and broken temple, there was no fire to cook, Chu He could feel that these guards were vigilant one by one, not only for him, but also for the surrounding environment.
Chu He didn't say anything, the sudden appearance of a stranger like him was indeed suspicious, but Chu He didn't have a ghost in his heart, and he wasn't afraid of being stared at.
Inside the broken temple, it is heavily guarded, it is estimated that it is where the owner of the caravan is, Chu He looked at it twice, and a long horizontal figure was already blocking his vision, blocking his sight, it was the strong man he saw for the first time today.
Chu He already knew his name from the mouth of the guard, his name was Zhao Hu, and he was the deputy leader of the caravan guard.
At this moment, Zhao Hu stared at Chu He with bull's eyes, and said coldly: "No matter who you are, be honest with me, my master is kind, but I will always keep an eye on you, and when I get to Pingyang, I will get out." ”
Chu He originally wanted to chat with him, but after hearing this, it seemed that he couldn't talk, so Chu He had to stand up and say: "Chief Zhao don't worry, I'm just a passerby, everyone meets in Pingshui, I don't have bad intentions towards you and others." ”
"It's so best, go back to the car to rest after eating, it's okay, don't get off lightly, it's not safe at night, something happens, but no one will take care of you." ”
Chu He gave a salute and left, of course, he went back to the car to rest, since there was no way for everyone to chat, it was better not to meet, I wanted to ask Zhao Hu about some things in this world, but it seemed that it would not work, this Zhao Hu was too vigilant, and he was very suspicious of his appearance, and it was estimated that he would not talk too much nonsense with him.
The night was calm, and after Chu He's breathing, he had a good night's sleep, and with so many guards, even if something happened, he had enough time to react, which was a blessing for the caravan.
In the morning, several fires were lit, and the aroma of porridge spread.
Chu He jumped out of the car, stretched his waist, and the old butler had already appeared in front of him.
"Young Master Chu, freshen up, drink a bowl of rice porridge, the convoy is already preparing, and it will leave in a while, if everything goes well, you can reach Pingyang City before dark tomorrow." ”
"Thank you, uncle. ”
The old man waved his hand, and he had already left, Chu He, like everyone else, came to the stream, washed his face with cold water, and rinsed his mouth, but he didn't expect that an abrupt voice sounded beside him, a clear voice, from a woman.
Yes, on his upper side, there was a maidservant fetching water.
"You're that alien?"
The woman looked at Chu He with some curiosity, and muttered, "The costumes of your aliens are really strange and special. ”
Chu He is wearing a simple set of training clothes at this time, the kind that is wear-resistant and dirt-resistant, which is absolutely impossible to appear in this era, and it is the first time I have seen this woman, so I am a little surprised.
"Girl?"
"I am the master's handmaiden. ”
"I've seen Miss Tian'er, thank you to your master on my behalf, thank him for taking him in, otherwise I will lose my way, and I may have to live in the wilderness for many days." ”
"No need, my master has always been kind-hearted, as long as you don't have evil intentions, it's just a gesture. ”
The woman said, filled the clay pot with water, turned and left, Chu He saw her, walked into the ruined temple, and disappeared into the wall.
"Aliens, don't look at it, Miss Tian'er is a close attendant by the master's side, you must not be rude, otherwise you will be in trouble. ”
Chu He nodded, he didn't say anything, he took a look just now, but it was the first time he saw the most plain woman in ancient times, and he didn't hold back, Chu He didn't have too many thoughts in his heart, but he was still a little envious of the owner of the caravan, red and green, in this environment, there are beautiful maids waiting, I believe it will be much more comfortable.
Drink a bowl of rice porridge, the rice grains are very small, but the aroma is tangy, I have to say, this most primitive food, the taste is a little different, very suitable for the taste.
In the only room of the broken temple, Tian'er put the water in the clay pot into the basin, wrung out the wet wipes, and handed it to the lady in front of the mirror.
"Ma'am, did I see that alien just now?"
The woman's body shook slightly, and said, "Is that the alien named Chu He?"
"Yes, ma'am. ”
"How does it feel?"
The servant didn't feel murderous in him, but this person didn't seem to be an ordinary person. “
"Oh, how do you say?"
He was very calm, very calm, and this feeling had only been seen by the little maid in a few kings. ”
When the woman heard this, she smiled lightly and said, "This is interesting, just pick up a random person, it will be the king, but I don't know, which country is he the king?"
"Tian'er, do you have admiration?"
Tian'er's face changed slightly, and she immediately said, "Little maid doesn't dare." ”
The woman waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't be too careful, you and Mrs. Ben have been with you for so many years, you can't keep going, if I'm not mistaken, you are already a sixteen-year-old girl, if you meet the right man, just marry!"
"The life of the little maid is saved by the lady, and she will live and die with the lady, and in this life and this life, Tian'er will not leave the lady. ”
The woman sighed and said, "Why is this necessary?"
"Tian'er, even if the grain team returns to Handan safely, it can save all the people, but it may not be able to save the Zhao country, when the mountains and rivers are broken, as a woman, the fate will be very tragic, if the alien is really a good person, it is a road you can take. ”
"Please don't say anything about it, even if the little maid dies, she will not leave Madame. ”
Women are actually a good heart, if the country is broken, as the people of Zhao State, they will become slaves, either killed, or given to other countries to be meritorious, become the most inferior Ji, at that time, what is the use of being coquettish, what is the use of arrogance, in the end it is just to die with the country and turn into dust.
