Chapter 42: Silence
In the open space in front of the old forest.
The group responsible for escorting the Zhao Mansion convoy was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the clearing at this time, tightly surrounding a small cluster of lit bonfires.
"You say, why did this young master suddenly tell us to stop?"
A scar-faced, fierce-looking man in a yellow robe whispered in confusion as he stirred the bonfire in front of him with the black wooden stick in his hand.
Under his teasing, fresh air flowed in, and the bonfire was obviously a little stronger, and the sparks crackled and crackled.
"What else could it be?" A black-robed middle-aged man in the crowd who was obviously the leader first glanced at Zhao Si in the distance, and then said coldly: "In my opinion, this eldest young master is used to living a good life, and he can't bear the slightest hardship." If you are hungry, you should eat immediately, and when you are tired, you should rest immediately. ”
"At night, he was able to ask to stay in the mountains? Hmph, he has no life experience at all! If everyone is like him, then how can this dart be lucky?"
Someone sighed and said, "Actually, the eldest young master is not bad, but he is too pampered." Compared with the second young master, he still lacks a little manhood!"
......
Distance.
The Lin dart head who was in charge of this escort task was anxious at the moment, far less leisurely than the others in the dart game.
From time to time, he looked at the slightly gloomy old forest in front of him against the shadow of the trees, and there was anxiety that could not be concealed between his brows.
"Hey, where has the eldest prince gone?" Lin Dart walked around in place, like an ant on a hot pot, "No, I can't wait, I have to call someone to find ...... immediately"
Zhao Si glanced at him lightly, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Eh, Lin Dart, wait a minute, my young master is far less fragile than you think." ”
"In case ......"
"No in case. Zhao Si shook his head slightly, obviously deliberately imitating Zhao Ting's breezy posture when he spoke, "Don't worry, even if there is really any danger that even my young master can't handle, then you won't have to mention it......"
As the two were talking, a slightly thin black shadow appeared on the edge of the old forest.
When the black shadow approached and revealed his true face, it was Zhao Ting, who had disappeared for a long time!
"Huh~" Seeing Zhao Ting appear intact in front of him, Lin Dart breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart finally fell, "Eldest Prince, where have you been?
Zhao Ting glanced at him and explained, "I just went to the forest to pee, well, the brothers are all rested, right?"
"Rest well, rest well, I'll tell them to get up now. Lin Dart replied busily.
Now he can't wait to get out of the deep mountain in front of him quickly, and when he sees this master loosening his mouth at this time, where is there any reason not to agree?
"Brothers, quick, put out the fire!" Lin Dart shouted to the crowd around the bonfire in the distance, "Let's continue to move forward, let's speed up and arrive in Gaoding County before the hour!"
At his call, everyone got up and went about their duties, some to put out the bonfire, and some to get back into the carriage and get ready to drive.
Soon, the convoy began to move forward again, this time significantly faster, so that Zhao Ting, who was sitting in the carriage, was bumped up and down, back and forth.
As the time passed, the night in the mountains seemed to be thicker, and the moon took the opportunity to hide in the thick black clouds, and no longer gave a glimmer of light to the world.
The silence of the darkness, the fingers of the five fingers are missing.
Lin Darttou, who was at the front of the convoy and opened the way, took the lead in lighting the torch and shouted to the long convoy behind him: "Light the fire, speed up, we are about to get out of this mountain!"
As he shouted, the men who followed closely behind also lit torches to light the way under their feet.
Little by little, the flames were connected like long snakes, and it was quite spectacular.
In the carriage in the center of the convoy, Zhao Tingzheng closed his eyes tightly, holding the black-backed Pu knife with both hands around his chest, and a little black light constantly appeared between heaven and earth, sticking to his body surface, and slowly absorbed into his body.
"Bang ......"
This is the sound of the carriage pulling goods at the back of the convoy when it moves, although the sound is noisy, it can't affect Zhao Ting at all.
"Bang dang...... Bang dang ......"
The mountain road seemed to be getting smoother and smoother, and the sound of the carriage behind it gradually became quieter.
The convoy was so long that no one noticed that one of the wagons at the end had quietly deviated from the course of the convoy and headed for the valley on the side.
"Gurgling ......"
The other wagon was loaded with heavy loads, so the wheels made this heavy sound when they pressed against the ground.
"Gollum...... Gollum ......"
The sound faded to a faint voice.
......
"Why does it seem to be getting quieter and colder?" Zhao Si, who was sitting on the wheel of the car outside, couldn't help but mutter, wrapping his robe tightly.
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Ting in the carriage suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight, a chill flashed in his eyes.
"Stop!"
"Stop, the eldest prince let stop!" Zhao Silema stopped and shouted at the convoy in front.
Once again, the entire convoy stopped.
Lin Darttou, who was at the head of the team, also dismounted again and walked over to Zhao Ting's car window, with a little helplessness in his tone: "Eldest son, what's wrong?"
Zhao Ting didn't care about his attitude, jumped out of the carriage, and said coldly: "Take a good look, is it a person driving behind?"
As soon as this sentence came out, the cold hairs on Lin Dart's head exploded in an instant, and a chill rushed to the top of his head.
He turned his head sharply to look back, only to see that the Zhao Mansion convoy behind him, which was originally spread out like a long snake and had about dozens of carriages, was now only one left, looking lonely.
A young man in a short black robe was sitting on the wheel of the carriage, holding the reins tightly in his hand.
His face was covered with an abnormal dark blue color, his eyelids rolled upwards vigorously, and only a terrible whites of his eyes were left in his pupils.
What's even more bizarre is that an old fox the size of a yellow dog is lying on the young man's back in a strange posture, as if directing him to drive.
found that Lin Darthead looked at him, this old fox was not afraid at all, and a pair of fox eyes that flashed blue in the dark night went straight to Lin Darthead's eyes.
At the same time, the corners of the old fox's mouth hooked a strange arc, as if he was laughing, smiling at Lin Dart's head.
Under the smirk, the stainless steel short knife in Lin Dart's hand fell to the ground with a "clang".
His face twitched uncontrollably, his eyelids rolled high, and in the blink of an eye, there were only large bloodshot whites of the eyes left, which was extremely weird.
